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

Shen Baozhu was also staring at the food on the table, swallowing her saliva, especially the pork stewed with vermicelli in the middle, which made her extremely greedy.

During the famine years, my family hadn't eaten pork for a long time.

Look at the big, white, fat meat inside, and the aroma of food filling the house.

For a moment, almost everyone in the Shen family was attracted by this meal.

Shen Lao Er couldn't help but nod in agreement, "Yes, mother, let's eat first. It's cold outside. If we don't eat now, the food will get cold and won't taste good."

"It's so hard for us to have meat, so we have to eat it while it's hot!"

The old lady rolled her eyes at him and said, "Alright, let's eat. There are twelve pieces of meat in the pot of pork stewed with vermicelli in the middle. Each of you can have one piece, and the rest can be given to the third son's wife and the fourth son to nourish their bodies."

After explaining everything, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's eat."

Mrs. Shen couldn't wait any longer. She was the first to pick up the meat with her chopsticks, and she specifically picked out big pieces of fat.

Nowadays, fatty meat is more oily and more delicious, while lean meat has almost no oil or water.

Therefore, most people prefer fat meat, the fatter the better.

The moment the old lady spoke, seven or eight pairs of chopsticks rushed to the middle pot of pork stewed with vermicelli, searching over and over for the biggest and fattest piece of meat.

There was even a scene where several people were fighting over a piece of meat.

Xu Manyue was just about to pick up her chopsticks, but when she saw this scene, her chopsticks paused in mid-air and finally landed on the boiled cabbage beside her.

She was also at the Shen family during the Chinese New Year last year, but the famine was extremely severe that year. For the Chinese New Year, it was difficult to buy even a piece of fresh cabbage leaf, let alone meat.

This year is a little better, at least it’s Chinese New Year and I can still get some vegetables.

Although it’s not much, it’s at least enough for a meal on New Year’s Eve.

The old lady looked at the people one by one, who looked like starving ghosts. She put down her chopsticks, touched her face, and sighed to herself that it was too much to bear to watch.

It would have been fine if just a few kids joined in the fight, but even adults in their sixties joined in the fight.

Especially the eldest daughter-in-law, she snatched the meat that Shen Baozhu was about to eat with a chopstick and spoke with confidence.

"Why would a kid eat such a big piece of meat? Come, eat this piece. This piece of meat is most suitable for you."

After saying that, she grabbed the meat with a chopstick, turned around and put it into her mouth, and began to eat it with great satisfaction, her eyes narrowed with happiness.

"Delicious, so delicious."

Shen Baozhu looked down at the small piece of lean meat in her bowl. Her nose felt sore and she immediately threw herself into Lin Luoxia's arms and started crying, "Wow, mother... my meat... my meat is gone... my aunt is so mean, she bullied me..."

That was something her mother had managed to get for her.

All of a sudden, everyone at the dinner table looked at Mrs. Shen.

He actually snatched the meat from the kid. Wow, this man is almost forty years old and he can still do it.

Lin Luoxia's face looked extremely grim. She hugged the pitifully crying Shen Baozhu tightly in her arms, and looked at Sister-in-law Shen who had eaten a few mouthfuls of meat and said, "Sister-in-law, what you did was wrong, wasn't it?"

"Baozhu is a child. I gave her the meat. How could you snatch it from a child?"

Mrs. Shen had already devoured the piece of meat. She smacked her lips with nostalgia, "Second sister-in-law, don't say such harsh words. What do you mean by snatching food from the child? I'm clearly eating the portion of meat that's rightfully mine."

"In our family, whoever works the most eats the most. This past year, don't you think about how much you and your daughter have done for this family, and how much I have done for this family?"

"Everyone earns their living by their own ability. If you want your daughter to eat good meat, you must work hard and strive to earn more work points and more food for our family."

In this family, apart from the fourth child, Lin Luoxia has the least work points. As for Shen Baozhu, although she is still young, she has been spoiled a long time ago.

She doesn't look like a girl at all. She is lazy, greedy, and petty. She is no match for the two children she gave birth to.

Lin Luoxia's expression became even uglier, "Sister-in-law, you..."

She was halfway through her words when she was suddenly interrupted by Shen Lao Er who put down his chopsticks.

"Okay, it's New Year's Day, we can talk about it later, don't make a fuss."

"It's just a piece of meat, don't be so picky."

Lin Luoxia placed her hands under the table and clenched her sleeves tightly. It took her a long time to find her voice.

"Shen Jianyun, Baozhu is your own daughter!"

She couldn't believe that these words actually came out of this man's mouth.

It was obvious that he loved Baozhu very much in the past. She didn't believe that his love for Baozhu in the past was fake.

Shen Lao Er buried his head and continued to eat, without even looking at the mother and daughter. "If you don't want to eat, then go back inside and don't bother everyone here."

"It's New Year's Day, so it's best to be quiet."

These days, he finally figured it out.

He was just too good to this woman, so good that she thought that he, Shen Jianyun, was indispensable to her, so she took advantage of his kindness and used him like a tool, not giving him any feelings at all.

Which wife is like her, always keeping her heart closed and not caring about her husband?

Look at the relationship between the elder brother and his wife.

Even though the eldest brother often beats the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is still devoted to the eldest brother.

This is a good woman, this is a good daughter-in-law.

He should learn from his elder brother and stop letting this woman control his emotions.

Lin Luoxia's fingers pinched her palm tightly, and the severe pain made her barely calm down.

Shen Baozhu, who was hiding in her arms, cried even more pitifully. She glared at Shen Laoer fiercely. Although she didn't say anything, anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

Shen Baozhu was dissatisfied with her biological father Shen Laoer and even began to hate him.

It’s New Year’s Day, and the old lady couldn’t bear to see people celebrating like this.

She slammed her chopsticks on the table.

"Alright, you're both causing trouble. Today is New Year's Eve, a day for everyone to get together, and yet you're causing such a fuss over a piece of meat."

"Especially you, the eldest daughter-in-law. You're already a grown-up, yet you're still snatching food from a child's mouth. Aren't you ashamed?"

Then, the old lady looked at Shen Lao Er, Shen Baozhu and Lin Luoxia, "And you two, the father can't speak, the daughter doesn't know how to be a daughter, and the daughter-in-law doesn't act like a daughter-in-law."

"It's New Year's Day, why can't we just talk it out peacefully? Why do you have to make a fool of yourself?"

She really didn't understand. Since they couldn't live together anymore, they might as well get a divorce.

One or two have to be tied together.

They don't feel tired, but she does.
