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

Xu Manyue squatted in front of the old lady and looked up at her. "My sister-in-law and the others are right. You are not in good health now, so you should supplement more nutrition. When you are better, this family still needs you to take care of it."

"You are the backbone of all of us. How can you let your body collapse?"

"Tomorrow, we'll take you to the town clinic for a thorough checkup. We'll treat you accordingly. Don't delay until it gets worse."

Shen Xiaoshan also ran over and squatted in front of the old lady, crying with red eyes, "Grandma, I don't want you to leave."

Yesterday, Goudan’s grandmother starved to death in her bed in the middle of the night because she had nothing to eat.

Goudan was also extremely hungry. Only bones and a thin layer of skin were left on his body. He was probably almost out of breath.

The old lady's eyes were filled with tears, but she forced a smile and raised her hand to touch her eldest grandson's face. Her rough hands were covered with thick calluses, which scratched his skin and made it hurt.

"Grandma still has to watch Xiaoshan grow up and get married. Grandma is just feeling a little unwell. How can she die so easily?"

"Besides, I've survived all these years, how could I fall so easily?"

Xu Manyue sighed. Even though it was a minor illness now, if nutrition was not replenished in time, it would develop into a serious illness sooner or later.

But the old lady always felt that she could still hold on and that her body was not that fragile.

Finally, after everyone's persuasion, the old lady ate an egg and reluctantly fell asleep.

Xu Manyue found Boss Shen and the others and discussed it with them.

"Brother, I plan to take Mom to the town's health center for a checkup tomorrow."

Boss Shen thought for a moment and said, "Of course, but we still have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm sorry to bother you, Third Sister-in-law."

He finally understood what happened to Mrs. Liu just now. The wife his third brother married was no ordinary person.

She can handle things when encountering problems, so he is relieved to leave it to her.

Shen Lao Er thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll ask your second sister-in-law to go with you tomorrow so she can take care of you. As for the medical expenses, I'll give you one dollar first. If it's not enough, you can pay for it first."

"We'll figure it out when we get back."

Although the Shen family has not split up, the old lady does not usually hold all the money in her hands.

When the brigade distributed money at the end of each year, the old lady kept half, and the remaining half was distributed according to each person's performance.

Therefore, they still have some money, and the medical expenses must be divided equally among the three families. Since the fourth child is not married yet, he is not included.

Xu Manyue thought for a moment and said, "I'll just take my mother with me tomorrow. I have a bicycle, so it's convenient. If my second sister-in-law comes with us, it won't be easy to carry two people on a bicycle."

Boss Shen and his two brothers thought about it and agreed, so they didn't force it anymore.

After discussing things, it was already late.

Xu Manyue went back to sleep.

Before going to bed, she checked her transformation value balance and found that she had added more than 100 transformation points tonight.

Looking at the rice, pork, cucumbers, vegetables, etc. in the mall, she couldn't help swallowing.

Speaking of meat, Xu Manyue remembered that the last time he ate meat was before the famine came. Even then, he could only eat one or two pieces on New Year's Day.

Now she could buy meat, but she couldn't take it out.

Unless we find an opportunity to use the one-pound meat ticket that Shen Jingming left behind last time to buy meat, and then secretly bring it back for everyone to eat together.

But now, even if you have money and tickets, it is difficult to buy meat. In the years of famine, meat is a scarce commodity. Unless you have connections with the meat processing plant or queue up early, it is difficult to buy meat.

Xu Manyue studied the system mall carefully again.

In addition to some basic food, there are pots, pans, and even drinking water for sale.

These things were clearly not available last night.

Could it be that because the transformation value reached 500, it activated some other basic functions of the mall?

Xu Manyue looked at the price and saw that a set of pots and pans only cost 120 transformation points. She was instantly excited.

Some time ago, steelmaking was going on everywhere, and the iron pots and kitchen knives in every household were used to make steel.

As a result, many families now do not have iron pots and kitchen knives.

Even if you have money, it is difficult to buy these things.

The Shen family did have an iron pot and a kitchen knife, which were secretly hidden by the old lady.

A set of pots, pans, and utensils can be exchanged for only 220 transformation points, which is equivalent to 22 kilograms of corn grits.

The more Xu Manyue looked at it, the more excited she became. If she wanted to cook for herself, a set of kitchen utensils like this would be essential.

Without these things, she could only look at the rice, flour, meat and other things in the mall but not eat them.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and took it.

In an instant, the set of kitchen utensils appeared and was placed in the system space.

If we have all the kitchen utensils, how can we not have food?

Next, Xu Manyue couldn't help but spend another 15 transformation points to buy a pound of rice.

I spent 20 transformation points to buy a pound of white flour, and 99 transformation points to buy a pound of rapeseed oil.

After spending all the money, the remaining renovation value that Xu Manyue had worked hard to save for such a period of time instantly dropped from 543 to 189.

Xu Manyue lay on the bed and sighed, "Oh, it's really not enough to spend."

It seems that I have to hurry up and earn transformation points, otherwise how will I survive in the future?

Judging from the actions of Boss Shen and his men tonight, everyone in the Shen family has secretly hidden some food.

When the great famine comes, everyone else will have food, so she can't be left with nothing.

Early the next morning.

Boss Shen, Second Boss Shen and the others had already gotten up and were about to take Shen Jianping to work.

When Shen Jianping saw Xu Manyue, his eyes lit up instantly and he waved to her, "Third sister-in-law, I'm going to work. You and mother wait for me to earn enough work points and come back."

Shen Lao Er couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "It's good enough that you don't hold us back."

No wonder I got up so early today and had to go to work with them. It turned out that I was fooled by the third brother’s wife and my mother.

Shen Jianping glared at him and said, "Are you still my second brother? How can you talk like that? Why can't I do it? If you can do it, I can do it too."

Boss Shen couldn't help but smile, "Okay, you're the best, Lao Si, do your best, I believe in you."

After Xu Manyue greeted them, she encouraged Shen Jianping, "Fourth brother, I have prepared the reward for you. As long as you can get seven work points today, I will give you the reward immediately when you come back in the evening."

"Really, sister-in-law, you are so kind. Unlike some people who only make sarcastic remarks and laugh at me."

"of course it's true."

After seeing Shen Jianping and the others off, Xu Manyue tidied up the house, took some money and tickets, and knocked on the old lady's door.

"Mom, are you awake? I'll take you to see a doctor today."
