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

Boss Shen glanced at her impatiently and slammed the table. "Alright, Baozhu was wrong today, and you, as her mother, are no better."

"Why don't you apologize to your third brother and sister-in-law quickly and teach your children well in the future."

The second brother is really something, he can’t even take care of a woman and a child.

Lin Luoxia looked up at Xu Manyue and said, "Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I didn't know Baozhu often jumped on you. I will definitely discipline her in the future."

This was the first time Xu Manyue saw Boss Shen get angry at someone other than his sister-in-law. It had to be said that Boss Shen still had some authority as an older brother.

"Second sister-in-law, you should focus more on raising the child. Let's forget about what happened today, but I think it's better for me to keep a certain distance from Baozhu. I really don't dare to joke with the safety of the child in my belly."

In every way, keeping distance is the best option.

Lin Luoxia's body stiffened, but soon returned to normal, "Don't worry, third sister-in-law."

No one enjoyed the meal properly, and by the time the matter was resolved, the food was cold.

This made Boss Shen even more dissatisfied with his brother's wife. He never interfered in his brothers' private affairs before, nor did he pay much attention to these sisters-in-law.

But the last time the old lady was hospitalized, it made him want to beat a woman to death for the first time, and this woman was his brother's wife.

After meal.

Xu Manyue went to the old lady's room and talked to her.

It is not a good idea for the old lady to lie in bed and recuperate every day, so she needs someone to go over and chat with her from time to time to relieve her boredom. Generally, Xu Manyue and Mrs. Shen go over, and as for Lin Luoxia, she only goes over when delivering meals.

"Mom, how are you feeling recently? Are you feeling better? Let me take your pulse." Xu Manyue sat beside the old lady's bed and reached out to take her pulse.

The old lady waved her hand, avoiding the gesture of feeling her pulse. "I'm feeling better now. Don't worry. My old bones won't fall apart just yet. I haven't seen the birth of your baby yet, haven't seen the fourth son get married and start a family, haven't enjoyed happiness yet, how could I die so easily?"

"By the way, the New Year is almost here, and the baby in your belly is less than a month old and will be born soon. You must find a midwife in advance, otherwise you won't be too busy and panic when the time comes."

She changed the subject, "However, it seems that we can't find a decent midwife in our team right now. The two we had before either starved to death or fled famine. This situation is a bit difficult."

The old lady couldn't help but sigh, and looking at Xu Manyue's round belly, she also felt a little worried.

Xu Manyue lowered her head and touched her belly. "Mom, Jingming wrote to me this month and also sent some money back. He said that I should live directly in the county hospital a few days before the due date, so that it would be more convenient for the birth."

In fact, Shen Jingming never said this at all.

Generally, rural women give birth at home. Although most of them are born safely, there are also many who die directly during childbirth.

It was her first time giving birth, so how could she not be afraid?

She would rather spend more money to go to the county town than give birth at home. If something happens in the hospital, the probability of survival is always greater.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Why do you need to go to the county town to give birth? In all these years, I've only seen wives in our brigade go to the county town to give birth."

How much would it cost to make such a trip?

Xu Manyue continued, "Mom, this is what Jingming wrote back. He told me not to worry about the money. He sent me another fifty yuan this time. If it's not enough, you can write to him and ask for more."

The old lady hesitated for a moment. Because of her, the family’s savings were almost emptied. She also asked the third son for some money, and only then did she get enough money.

Although the third child's monthly salary is high, he can't afford to spend it like this. He will have children in the future, so he can save as much as possible now.

But the third brother wrote a letter specifically to tell him about this, sent money back, and made arrangements for his wife to give birth.

"Since your husband said so, then go. A few days before you are about to give birth, I will ask your eldest brother and your second brother to take you to the county town." The old lady finally gave in.

Xu Manyue smiled and took the old lady's arm, "Thank you, mother."

Now that the matter was settled, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there are some experienced midwives in rural areas, they are only good at dealing with general situations, but they are definitely not as good as doctors when encountering emergencies.

"Has your second brother been out fooling around again these days?" The old lady thought about it and asked.

She hadn't seen that good-for-nothing for several days.

Xu Manyue hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Second brother is indeed rarely at home these days."

It's not that they rarely come back, they never come back at all.

The only time he came back, he saw Lin Luoxia for only a few seconds before turning around and leaving.

Lin Luoxia didn't care either, as if that person didn't exist.

The old lady sighed, her emotions welling up in her heart. "Tell me, did Mother...really do something wrong?"

Otherwise, you should have been firm in your attitude and refused to let anyone in.

Otherwise, he should have given her a good scolding and taught her a lesson after entering the house, instead of letting Lin Luoxia do whatever she wanted. In the end, not only did his son's temper not change, but the house was also in chaos.

Xu Manyue looked at the confusion in the old lady's eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She reached out to hold the old lady's hand and said, "Mom, don't think too much about it. The past is the past. People should move forward and look forward."

"And the same goes for you towards Big Sister. Big Sister's death wasn't solely your fault. There's no need to keep blaming yourself. Keeping these things buried in your heart will only hurt you."

A large part of the old lady's illness was due to her unwillingness to let herself go. If she could figure it out, she wouldn't have collapsed in anger because of Lin Luoxia's words.

"I understand what you said in my heart. Your eldest sister is primarily responsible for her death, followed by me as her mother. Your second sister-in-law is also wrong, but her mistakes are also caused by me." The old lady spoke after a long silence.

Therefore, she did not force the second son to divorce Lin Luoxia.

But the things Lin Luoxia did and her identity were always like a thorn in her heart, which could not be pulled out or pulled out.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "Mom, why don't you have a good talk with my second sister-in-law? Since they don't plan to divorce, they are people who will spend their whole lives together. If we talk about some things openly, it might be better than the current situation."

Now this couple doesn’t seem like a couple at all. It not only affects their family members, but also their children.
