Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

In the system interface, the transformation value balance changed from zero to 39.

Thinking of the delicious meat buns in the system mall, she hurriedly opened the system mall.

A large meat bun requires five transformation points.

After crying to Shen Jingming for a while today, she earned nearly eight big meat buns.

Xu Manyue looked at other things in the system mall.

One pound of rice has fifteen transformation values, and one pound of flour has twenty transformation values.

The most expensive item is pork, which costs forty transformation values per pound.

In addition to these foods, there are some other things, such as cloth, clothes, shoes, fruits, candies, cakes, etc. These things also require a lot of transformation value.

Xu Manyue looked at the big meat buns in the system mall and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, but it was a pity that she couldn't eat it now.

I guess as soon as she exchanged the big meat bun, someone rushed here after smelling the fragrance.

By then, she would not be able to explain the origin of the things, and would only cause a lot of trouble.

Xu Manyue reluctantly closed the system mall and lowered her head to organize the things Shen Jingming had just stuffed into her.

She held it in her hand and counted it again and again, and her eyes lit up instantly.

There were actually twenty yuan, two three-jin national food coupons, and one-jin meat coupon.

The famine is getting worse and worse, and there is a shortage of supplies across the country. Originally, one pound of meat ticket could only buy one pound of meat.

But in this special period, meat is scarce, and sometimes it is difficult to buy it even if you have money and tickets.

Therefore, one pound of meat ticket is now reduced to only being able to supply two ounces of meat.

But it’s better to have it than not, after all, it’s meat.

Xu Manyue sorted these things out carefully and put them into the system space.

This was a special function of the system that she had discovered before. There was a space in the system for storing things, with an area of about ten square meters.

She placed some important things in the space.

After Xu Manyue had packed up, she thought of the old lady who had just been cursing outside, and she listened outside through the door for a while.

Shen Jingming was in the yard, still explaining to the old lady why she didn't go out to help.

"Mom, she just got married after Manyue, and I have to leave again before dawn tomorrow. I don't know when I will have the chance to come back."

"This morning, she was going out to help her sister-in-law and the others with housework. I stopped her and told her that I was leaving soon, which delayed her."

The old lady snorted coldly, not knowing whether she believed it or not. She muttered a few words and turned back into the house, "You forget your mother when you get a wife."

Shen Jingming originally didn't want to get involved in matters between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

But when he thought about it, he remembered that when the woman learned that he was leaving, she cried until her eyes turned red, but she still leaned in his arms with full of dependence, hugging his waist tightly.

Perhaps, he should be nicer to her, at least to make her suffer less at home.

Shen Jingming strode after the old lady, "Mom, Man Yue is different from the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. As a man, I am not by her side. In the future, you should teach her more."

"If there's anything wrong with her, just tell her. Don't let my sister-in-law and the others get involved."

The old lady rolled her eyes and glanced at her son who hadn't been home for several years. "That's enough. In my words, she's your daughter-in-law. What can I, as her mother, do to her?"

Shen Jingming didn't say anything, just stared at the old lady.

Even though he hadn't been home for so long, he still had some idea of his mother's temper and what his family members were like.

Of course, he didn't expect that just a few words from him would make his mother protect Xu Manyue. He could only say that if he gave them a greeting, they wouldn't make too much trouble.

The old lady finally gave in under the gaze of her son and said, "Alright, alright, I'll give your wife more advice next time, alright."

"Thank you, Mom." Shen Jingming stepped forward to massage the old lady's shoulders, then took out twenty yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into the old lady's arms.

"Mother, this is my gift to you."

The old lady was very happy. She quickly took out the money, dipped her fingers in water, and counted the money again and again.

"Third, you are indeed promising. Mother used to work as a maid in a landlord's house in the old society. It was miserable back then. We were often beaten and scolded, and she was even sold to your old bachelor father as a wife."

"It's better now. A son who is filial to his mother can enjoy happiness. Your father passed away early, so you don't have to serve an old man now."

Shen Jingming pressed his temples and didn't know what to say for a moment.

His father died early, and when he died, the fourth child was still in his mother's womb.

There are five siblings in the family, and they were all raised by their mother. At that time, their mother was only in her thirties, and now her hair has turned white.

His mother had never mentioned her father who died early, but unexpectedly she brought it up again today.

The old lady counted the money in her hand over and over again. She looked at her third son who was still standing there and was an eyesore, and waved her hand with some disgust.

"Go out, go out, we're leaving tomorrow, spend some time with your wife."

Shen Jingming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He turned around, closed the door and walked out.

As soon as I walked into the yard, Xu Manyue came out of the house.

Mrs. Shen's eldest sister was cleaning the yard, and Mrs. Shen's second sister was also busy, sitting in the corner mending clothes.

"Oh, my third sister-in-law finally decided to come out of your room."

"I thought my third sister-in-law had gone back to sleep."

"It's almost noon, who are you waiting for to serve you?"

As Mrs. Shen was sweeping, the broom almost poked Xu Manyue's foot.

They are all daughters-in-law. When she first got married, she was tormented by her husband all night long on her wedding night. The next morning, she got up before dawn to light the fire, cook, wash clothes, and clean the house inside and out.

When it was the second son's wife's turn to come home, she also got up early in the morning to light the fire, cook, and clean the house.

Unlike the third son's wife, she made a fuss with the third son most of the night before. Those who lived next door heard it. She got up early in the morning and fetched water to wipe her face and body.

In these years of drought and famine, I don’t know how much water has been wasted.

Xu Manyue dodged the broom that was poking at her and retorted bluntly, "Sister-in-law, when I got up, you guys weren't up yet. I went in to tidy up the house, and it didn't take long. How come when I got here, it seems like I slept until noon?"

"If word gets out, people who don't know will think you, sister-in-law, are deliberately ruining my reputation and bullying my new sister-in-law."

Mrs. Shen choked and straightened her neck, saying, "If I were to go to work diligently, the work in the fields would be almost done by now, and it's already noon."
