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

The old lady's weak voice came from inside, "Come in."

When Xu Manyue went in, the man was still lying in bed.

She checked again carefully and found that the old lady seemed even thinner than before, with no energy and looked sickly.

Fortunately, I was still awake and walking was not a problem.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Going to the clinic is a waste of money."

"I just feel a little down. I'll be fine after lying down."

The old lady turned over, her back facing Xu Manyue, and refused to go no matter what.

Xu Manyue had no choice but to get the old lady out of bed. "Mom, your health is the most important thing. This morning, my eldest brother and the others told me to take good care of you and take you to the health center."

"If you don't go, maybe my brother and the others won't go to work tomorrow and will take you there personally."

"Not only will your work points be wasted, but your health will also be affected."

The old lady's face was stretched out like noodles, and she held the door frame tightly, refusing to let go.

"No, no, there's nothing to do except waste money. You might as well give me that little money."

Xu Manyue tried to pry her hands apart little by little, but she didn't expect that although the old lady was sick, she was still very strong and she refused to drag her away.

"Mom, why are you acting like a child? If you're sick, you have to go see a doctor. If you don't go, I'll ask my brother and the others to take you there personally when they come back."

A sickly old lady couldn't resist the strength of two grown men.

The old lady opened her mouth and had to let go of her hand. "Okay, I'll go with you."

At worst, if she spends too much money, she will just sneak back.

Xu Manyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, wait here for me, I'll go get the bike out."

During the famine years, not only did people not have enough to eat, but the cattle also did not have enough to eat. There used to be ox carts to go to town, but now the cattle are almost starving to death, so there are no ox carts left.

If you walk to town, it will take at least an hour.

But fortunately, I have a bicycle at home, so it doesn’t take much time.

After pushing the bicycle out, the old lady bent over, touched here, looked there, and stared at it with her eyes wide open.

"I heard from your eldest brother that this is a bicycle that the third brother spent a lot of money to buy for you as a betrothal gift. It seems that he is very satisfied with you."

Apart from anything else, this daughter-in-law looks very thin, but if you look closely, she is still pretty.

He was just too hungry, with not a pound of flesh on his body, and he looked a little ugly.

But there is nothing to say about this person, and it is good for her as an old lady.

It’s not a loss for Jingming to marry this wife. She will be even more satisfied if he gives her a big fat grandson in the future.

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and smiled shyly, avoiding the topic.

"Mom, get in the car. Once you're in, hold my waist tightly and try not to move."

Shen Jingming was not satisfied with her. He only said that the bicycle was a betrothal gift to her out of his responsibility to his wife.

"Okay, Mom knows." After sitting in the back seat, the old lady hugged Xu Manyue's waist tightly. At first, she was very curious and looked here and there.

But when she was riding over a bumpy mountain road, she was almost shaken off the bike. Her head felt dizzy and her butt hurt.

"My third wife, my third wife, why... why is this bicycle shaking so much..."

Her heart was almost shaking.

Xu Manyue has tried her best to find a place with better roads, but the road is inevitably rugged.

"Mom, just bear with it for a while, it will be here soon."

After riding for a while, the old lady's butt was almost smashed into pieces. She couldn't help but ask again, "Old Third Wife, why haven't you arrived yet?"

Didn’t she say it would be soon? Why did she feel like every day was a year? She was about to die on this bicycle before she died of illness.

Xu Manyue looked around and comforted her, "Mom, just bear with it a little longer, it's almost time."

In fact, they had only left home for a short while and were still far from the town.

Not long after getting on the bike, the old lady kept complaining that her butt hurt and asked her to ride slower.

Along the way, the old lady kept asking questions and Xu Manyue patiently comforted her, and they finally arrived in town.

The old lady jumped out of the car without wasting a second.

Xu Manyue was stunned by this quick movement.

It’s true, just from these two strokes, who could tell that the old lady was still a patient?

If she didn't know a little about medicine, she would probably doubt whether the old lady's illness was real or fake.

Xu Manyue stepped forward and supported her. "Mom, let's go. Let's go to the health center first. After seeing the doctor, I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant to eat something good to replenish your body."

When the old lady heard about the state-owned restaurant, her eyes lit up. She had lived for most of her life and had never eaten in a state-owned restaurant.

I don’t know if the food there is delicious.

But she didn't know what she was thinking about, and she shook her head again and again, "Why are you going anywhere? Let's hurry back and eat some wild vegetable porridge."

Wild vegetable porridge doesn’t cost money or require a ticket, and you can still eat it.

Xu Manyue smiled without saying anything and took people to the health center first.

After entering.

There was an old medical worker sitting inside. Like most people, he was pale and thin from hunger. When he saw someone coming in, he looked up.

"Go back. If possible, eat something nutritious."

After saying that, he lowered his head again and continued writing.

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Health worker, could you please take another good look at my mother? She hasn't looked well these past two days, and she looks sick. I'm worried that something's wrong with her."

Without even looking up, the nurse said, "As I said before, just eat more nutritious food and you'll be fine. The same goes for you."

Whether old or young, it's the same.

In recent days, many such people have come to see it.

There was nothing he could do. This kind of disease was simply caused by hunger.

The old lady pulled Xu Manyue's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go, it's nothing serious."

After coming out of the clinic.

Xu Manyue touched the two food coupons on her body and directly took the old lady to a nearby state-owned restaurant.

Food coupons are meant to be spent, you can't just keep them there.

The old lady refused to go and protested desperately, "What are you doing? The food there is so expensive. I won't go. I absolutely won't go."

I heard that in there, not only money is required, but also food coupons.

Food coupons are only used by city dwellers. Rural people only eat the annual surplus grain, so where do they get the food coupons?

Xu Manyue stopped and turned around to see what the old lady was thinking.

"Mom, these two food coupons were left by Jingming when he left. Your body needs nutrition right now, so you should eat well."

The old lady shook her head repeatedly. "It's okay to eat wild vegetables. They're cheaper than what we have here, and they don't require a ticket. We might as well go back and eat wild vegetables."

"What's the point of talking about nutrition? I grew up eating wild vegetables, and it's no big deal."
