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

After everything was cleaned up and the smell in the house dissipated.

Xu Manyue asked them to go back to their rooms and said, "It's not appropriate for so many people to gather here. You guys go back first. Mother and I will stay here."

Lin Luoxia glanced at her worriedly, "Third sister-in-law, call us if there is anything."

Shen Lao Er pulled her back to the room and said, "It's okay. The third wife has her own ideas. Let's go back first."

Mrs. Shen and the others also left.

Here, only the old lady and Xu Manyue are left.

Xu Manyue looked at the old lady and then walked over.

When I opened the door, it was Mrs. Liu from next door, and she was holding a little boy with rolling eyes.

As soon as she came up, she grabbed the child and rushed into the house.

"Jingming's wife, what are you cooking at home? My Jinbao is so hungry after smelling the food that he insisted on coming over."

Xu Manyue stood at the door, blocking it. "Auntie, so you came here just for this taste. I'm really sorry. Auntie, you know, this is some medicine I boiled. I'm afraid Jinbao can't drink it."

"Boil the medicine? Who are you trying to fool?"

Xu Manyue explained politely, "Auntie, you know, I know a little bit about prescriptions. I was not feeling well a few days ago, so I got some medicine and made it myself."

"Auntie, if you don't believe me, I can also bring out the medicine residue for you to see."

Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes and took advantage of Xu Manyue's inattention to push her away and run into the house.

"I want to see tonight whether you are undermining socialism and secretly infringing on collective interests."

Liu Jinbao cried and shouted: "Grandma, I want to eat, I want to eat..."

Xu Manyue quickly chased after her, "Aunt, what are you doing?"

"This medicine isn't a good thing either. If Jinbao wants to drink it, I'll pour him a bowl right away, but don't barge in."

Mrs. Liu ran into the kitchen in a few seconds and looked at the food stewing on the stove. Her face became even more proud.

Pointing at the pot, he put his hands on his hips, raised his head and cursed at Xu Manyue.

"Alright, look at what's stewing on your stove. This is clearly undermining socialism and bringing shame to the members of our Qingshan Brigade. Just wait, tomorrow I'll drag you into the office to do self-criticisms and be criticized by everyone."

The other people in the room, who were separated by a door, heard what Mrs. Liu said, and their faces changed drastically. They thought to themselves that it was not good.

Mrs. Shen was so anxious that she paced around everywhere, "What should I do? What should I do? Mrs. Liu found out."

Boss Shen sat on the bedside without saying a word. He suddenly stood up and picked up a stick. "Don't turn around. At worst, just tie him up first."

Mrs. Shen quickly pulled him back and said, "No, no, no, wait a moment."

On the other side, Mr. Shen and his wife also heard the noise.

Shen Lao Er and Lin Luoxia looked at each other, and the same idea came to their minds.

Just tie the guy up first.

Just as they picked up their weapons and were about to push the door open to leave.

When Xu Manyue's voice came, they were stunned for a moment.

"Auntie, take a good look. What I'm stewing on this stove is not something to eat, but real herbs. If you don't believe me, I can bring a bowl for you to taste for yourself."

Granny Liu looked coldly at Xu Manyue who was standing in front of her, "I know my nose well, there's no way I could have smelled it wrong."

"Wife Jingming, you should think carefully about how to explain to the captain tomorrow."

Xu Manyue extended her hand to let her pass, and said with a smile, "Auntie, if you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself."

"Don't open your mouth and slander others. Our Shen family is not something that anyone can step on."

Mrs. Liu's face flushed and then blue, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, I won't slander any good people, but I will definitely not let go of those who secretly undermine socialism."

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Okay, since you don't believe it, then go and see for yourself."

Mrs. Liu glanced at her, snorted coldly, and strode over to take a look at the stove. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but she was shocked when she did.

She was so frightened that she took several steps back.

"This... How is this possible? I clearly smell the scent of wild vegetables..."

There really is a casserole specifically used for stewing medicine, and inside it is a pot of yellowish-brown medicinal juice.

Xu Manyue smiled indifferently, poured a bowl from the casserole, and approached her step by step.

"Aunt, you said it tastes like wild vegetables, so why not try it? After taking this bowl of medicine, a healthy person will at most have to lie in bed for seven or eight days and have diarrhea for a few more days."

"No, no, I don't want to drink." Mrs. Shen quickly covered her mouth and shook her head desperately.

There's not much food in my stomach to begin with, and if I keep having diarrhea, I'll probably starve to death from diarrhea.

By then, not only will the sons and grandsons in the family be unable to hold their heads up, but the family’s reputation will also be affected.

Liu Jinbao cried at the top of his lungs, thinking it was something good. "Milk, milk, I want to drink, give it to me quickly."

Xu Manyue raised her eyebrows, bent down with the medicine in her hand, and touched Liu Jinbao's head. "Jinbao, if your grandmother doesn't want to drink the stuff in this bowl, your aunt will give it to you."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her body stiffened. "No, please don't. He's just a child. Let me drink."

After saying that, she snatched the bowl of medicine from Xu Manyue's hand and gulped it down into her mouth.

The bitter taste of the medicine mixed with the residue poured into her stomach, and soon the medicine in the bowl was gone.

Xu Manyue sighed, snatched the bowl from her hand, and smashed it hard on the ground with a bang.

It’s better not to use the dirty bowl.

Mrs. Liu was startled by the sudden sound.

She broke out in a cold sweat and stepped back repeatedly, "Wife Jingming, what are you doing..."

Xu Manyue smiled faintly, "Auntie, next time please clarify the situation first, don't do it like this time."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Liu felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

Her face turned pale instantly, and her stomach churned.

That... that really is medicine...

Mrs. Liu could no longer control herself and quickly pulled Liu Jinbao away.

Xu Manyue looked at her back as she hurriedly ran away, sighed, and bent down to pick up the fragments on the ground.

Oh, what a pity for this bowl at home.

At the same time, a series of system prompts sounded:

"Ding, sinister and cruel uncle, give up and knock Liu Pozi unconscious with a stick. Transformation value +40, which can be exchanged for a pound of pork."

"Ding, Second Uncle, you who are smiling but hiding a knife, give up threatening Old Lady Liu and surrender. Your transformation value will be +30, which can be exchanged for half a pound of egg cake."

"Ding, the cold-blooded Second Sister Shen, give up threatening Old Lady Liu and compromise. Your transformation value is +35, and you can exchange it for half a pound of peach cakes."

Current transformation value is 470, system upgrade progress: 23.5%

……

When the Shen family heard someone leave, they pushed the door open and came out, just in time to see Xu Manyue squatting on the ground picking up the broken pieces of the bowl.

They breathed a sigh of relief instantly. Fortunately, the truth was not exposed.

Boss Shen couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Old Third's wife, you're amazing."

If it were him, he would have knocked the man unconscious with a stick.

Shen Lao Er was curious, "Sister-in-law, what just happened? Our neighbor Liu Po is not someone you can easily get rid of. Why did she run away in such a hurry?"
