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

Outside the house, the whole family had already taken their bowls and chopsticks and were standing in the yard waiting for the old lady to tell them to leave.

The old lady counted them one by one and found that her eldest son was not there.

"Hey, it's already noon, why hasn't the fourth brother gotten up yet? The cafeteria will be open for dinner soon. Boss, go call him."

"He's already eighteen or nineteen years old, and he needs people to treat him to meals every day. How can he not be lazy to death?"

"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away." Mr. Shen said.

Xu Manyue stood beside Shen Jingming, lowered her head and played with her fingers with chopsticks.

The man tugged at her sleeve. Xu Manyue moved aside, silently avoiding his hand and turning her head away from him.

Shen Jingming frowned and simply ignored her. It seemed that his wife had a bad temper.

After waiting for a while, everyone was almost impatient, and Shen Jianping slowly came out of the house. He yawned, glanced at the people in the yard, and finally set his eyes on the old lady.

He ran over quickly, "Mom, wait for me. Didn't I tell you to ask your sister-in-law and the others to help me get the food back? Why did you call me?"

"If you have the time, you should go and line up earlier. Maybe you can get some extra vegetable porridge."

The old lady slapped him on the forehead and said, "You are the laziest one in the whole day. You are not even active in eating during the famine. You will starve to death."

"You need your sisters-in-law to help you with everything. Why don't you marry a wife to serve you?"

Xu Manyue looked at this scene and suddenly understood why it felt like there was someone missing from the Shen family. It turned out that the person had been sleeping until noon and she didn't see anyone.

I heard that this brother-in-law Shen Jianping is the laziest son in the Shen family, but also the one most loved by the old lady.

The two sisters-in-law of the Shen family were definitely the most dissatisfied with him, but the old lady often favored him and didn't let him do anything, for fear of tiring him out. Even though she scolded him, she still loved him the most in her heart.

Soon, the entire Shen family arrived at the cafeteria and started queuing.

At this moment, there were already quite a few people queuing up in front, each holding a bowl or lunch box in their hands.

Xu Manyue stood in the crowd and found that many of them suffered from edema. They had big round faces that were ashen and their bodies were swollen like steamed buns.

I heard that a few days ago, some young people in the brigade died of starvation. She knew the person who starved to death. They used to play together when they were young.

Suddenly, Mrs. Shen came to Xu Manyue's side, raised her hand and pointed ahead, whispering, "Third wife, look, is that your family?"

Xu Manyue looked up and saw that standing not far in front of them were the Xu family members, including Xu Mingyue, Tian Lanfang, Xu Xiangyang, and Xu Xiangbei.

At the same time, Xu Mingyue also saw her and smiled at her.

Mrs. Shen continued, "That one in front is your cousin, right? Third Brother's wife, is your cousin blind? Third Brother has such good conditions, he's an officer, and he's handsome, so why doesn't she want to marry him?"

"She looks whiter than you, and her bottom is bigger than yours. She can definitely give birth to a son. She looks more compatible than you and the third child."

"If she marries here, I think it's not a bad idea. Who knows, the third brother might even like her more."

Xu Manyue glanced at her lightly

Before Mrs. Shen could figure out what her look meant.

Xu Manyue ran up, tugged at the old lady's clothes, and went straight up to her to complain.

"Mother, look at my sister-in-law. What are you saying? I feel wronged. You know all about the substitutionary marriage. How can I live like this?"

The old lady hadn't reacted yet, wondering who was so bold as to pull her clothes. When she heard about the substitutionary marriage, she instantly understood and subconsciously turned her head away.

Hey, the third son’s wife?

The new bride without a butt.

She is so brave. How could she tear the old lady's clothes?

Seeing that the old lady was a little confused, Xu Manyue thought that she didn't understand, so she went forward, took her arm, shook her back and forth, and complained again.

"Mother, listen to what my sister-in-law said. She said I shouldn't have married into our Shen family. She said Jingming and Xu Mingyue are a perfect match. Mother, I'm already married now. Tell me, is what my sister-in-law said appropriate?"

"I didn't want to be married off, but my sister-in-law used this to poke me in the heart. I feel wronged and upset, mother."

As Xu Manyue spoke, her eyes were red. She hugged the old lady tightly and cried in her arms, tears falling non-stop.

She acted as if the old lady was her own mother and told her all her grievances.

This action not only stunned Mrs. Shen, but also scared the old lady. The other people from the Shen family who were queuing were also stunned.

The old lady was hugged so tightly that she could hardly breathe. At this moment, she didn't care about what was right or wrong. She kept agreeing with Xu Manyue's words like an old chicken pecking at rice.

"Yes, yes, your sister-in-law is not good. I will talk to her now. Third daughter-in-law...you...you let me go quickly. I can't breathe...cough cough cough...let me go quickly."

Xu Manyue's eyes were red as she looked up at the old lady. Her face was full of emotion and her tears fell even harder. "Mom, you are so good to me, even better than my own mother."

After saying that, she quickly let go of the old lady, pulled back Mrs. Shen who was about to sneak away, and threw her in front of the old lady, looking at her eagerly.

"Mom, I've brought the person to you. Please help me talk to my sister-in-law and ask her to stop treating me like this."

The old lady, who had originally planned to get away with it, saw that she couldn't avoid it, so she had to listen to Xu Manyue's words, stood in front of Mrs. Shen, pulled her ears and scolded her.

"Why did you mess with your third brother's wife? You'll die if you don't do something stupid. You're in your twenties or thirties, and you're still the eldest sister-in-law in the family. You have to do something stupid and cause trouble, and even make me, an old lady, suffer with you."

"Hurry up and apologize to your sister-in-law. If she doesn't forgive you, you'll be responsible for her share of the housework for the next month."

Sister Shen's eyes were red from being scolded. She looked at Xu Manyue and said, "Third wife, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hurt you. Can you forgive me?"

Xu Manyue quickly shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I have to trouble you to help me with the work this month."

The transformation system prompt sounded again: "Ding, the biased mother-in-law is no longer biased. Help the helpless third daughter-in-law to teach the eldest daughter-in-law a lesson. Transformation value +10, which can be exchanged for half-price white flour."

"Ding, the unreasonable sister-in-law admits her mistake and apologizes to the wronged third sister-in-law. Transformation value +6, which can be exchanged for a large meat bun."

Two system sounds rang out in succession. Although Xu Manyue was extremely happy inside, she still looked pitiful on the outside, as if she had been badly bullied. Her eyes were red and full of grievance.

The old lady couldn't bear to look at her so hard that she comforted her, "Don't be sad. There are too many people in the cafeteria. Family disgrace should not be made public. I can't teach your sister-in-law a lesson. I will scold her to death when I get back."
