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

Xu Manyue smiled faintly, "Mom, if you don't want to go in, then I will go in by myself, but if I buy something you don't like, you are not allowed to regret it."

The old lady instantly changed her mind, "No, I'd better go with you."

With her watching over her, this spendthrift daughter-in-law would be prevented from buying things indiscriminately.

After the two of them entered.

There were hardly any people inside, except for one or two people coming in and out occasionally.

Sitting at the window was a waiter who was about twenty years old. He looked better than the others, but not much better. He still looked sallow and listless.

When she saw someone come in, she didn't say anything.

It was the old lady’s first time entering this place. She looked around and didn’t know where to put her hands. She just stayed close to the people around her.

The air was filled with the enchanting aroma of food, and the more I smelled it, the hungrier I became.

She couldn't help but touch her rumbling stomach.

Xu Manyue looked at the small blackboard hanging next to the window. There were only a few dishes today: steamed corn bread, meat buns, vegetarian noodles, stir-fried vegetables, rice, and shredded pork with potatoes.

She pulled the old lady over and said, "Mom, what do you want to eat? How about a plate of shredded pork and fried potatoes and two bowls of rice?"

Just as they said that, the waiter at the window raised his eyelids and glanced at them, "The meat dishes are out, order again."

Xu Manyue looked at the small blackboard again. The only dish with meat today was fried potatoes with shredded pork. The rest were basically vegetarian.

So I had to focus on the meat buns.

She turned to the old lady and said, "Mom, we're out of meat dishes. How about meat buns and vegetarian noodles?"

When the old lady heard that it was meat buns, she shook her head like a rattle, but the sound was so quiet that only the two of them could hear it. "No, meat buns are too expensive. Let's buy two steamed buns."

Steamed buns are just as filling as meat buns, and most importantly, they are cheap.

Xu Manyue understood.

She walked to the window and handed over the food coupons and money in her hand. "Comrade, I want ten steamed buns and two meat buns."

The old lady's eyes widened instantly, and she ran up and tugged at Xu Manyue's sleeve, "Didn't you say you wanted steamed bread? Why did you buy meat buns too?"

How much does this cost, how many tickets does it cost?

Xu Manyue blinked and said, "Mom, the nurse said that you need to supplement your nutrition, and I also need to supplement my nutrition."

"As for the rest, give it back to my sister-in-law and the others."

In fact, in addition to the two three-jin food coupons given to her by Shen Jingming when he left, she also had several food coupons rewarded by the system.

Normally, she buys food and groceries in the system mall without the need for food coupons.

Therefore, these food coupons in hand are basically not used, and even if they can be used, there is no suitable reason to take them out.

The old lady rolled her eyes at her and said, "Just buy it, but don't buy it next time."

She is an old lady who has lived for most of her life. Why should she eat so well? Eating won’t make her live longer.

After finishing the shopping, Xu Manyue handed a meat bun to the old lady, "Mom, this one is yours, and the other one is mine. Let's have one each. If you don't want to eat it, I don't mind helping you eat it."

The old lady quickly snatched the meat bun and took a big bite. "You wish! I'll eat it. Why wouldn't I eat it?"

Halfway through eating, she suddenly stopped and the bun in her mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

I was just planning to secretly leave this meat bun to my eldest grandson and oldest son, but why is he eating it all by himself now?

Thinking of this, the old lady immediately realized that she had fallen into a trap.

She was so angry that she jumped up and wanted to hit someone, "Third wife, are you trying to trick me?"

Xu Manyue quickly stuffed a meat bun into her mouth, picked up the steamed bun in her hand, avoided the old lady's hand, and ran forward.

"Mom, tell me if I'm filial or not. I've tried every possible way to feed you meat buns. Where else can you find such a good daughter-in-law like me?"

"Why are you still hitting me? I'm heartbroken. I'm really heartbroken this time..."

The old lady chased after her, "You silly girl, I'm just trying to save money for you. You can eat it all by yourself, but you even tricked me into eating with you. When you starve to death, you'll know how powerful I am."

on the way home.

The old lady was still sitting in the back seat, cursing all the way, still because of that meat bun.

Xu Manyue rode her bike and took her home. She ignored what he said and just ignored it.

Gradually, the old lady's voice disappeared.

There are more and more elderly people dying on the roadside.

When they heard Xu Manyue and the others passing by, they immediately struggled to get up, took out a broken bowl and stretched it towards them.

Xu Manyue did not look at them, nor did she stop her bicycle. Instead, she pushed hard and sped up.

The old lady in the back seat also quieted down and used her body to tightly cover the steamed bun in her arms without making a sound.

In years of famine, when people's lives are threatened, some moral bottom lines will naturally be lowered or even disappear.

The old lady had also experienced famine. She had witnessed people fighting each other for a piece of wild vegetable dumpling, and even people killing their own parents for a little food.

Fortunately, the two finally returned home soon and the sky gradually darkened.

Before I reached the door of my house, I saw a few figures standing there waiting in the distance.

Seeing the bicycle coming, Shen Jianping immediately ran up with Shen Xiaoshan and Shen Qingqing.

"Mother, Third Sister-in-law, you are finally back."

Xu Manyue parked the bicycle in the yard. The old lady jumped off the bicycle, touching her butt and jumping up and down.

"What kind of bicycle is that? I'll never ride one again. The road is so bumpy, and while I'm fine, my butt is broken into pieces."

Seeing his mother running around in good health, Shen Jianping guessed that she was not sick.

"Mom, you're talking nonsense. Bicycles are great things, and not many people in the city can afford them. It must be your own fault, so don't blame the bicycle."

After saying this, the old lady was so angry that she slapped him on the head and said, "You stupid kid, who is your mother, me or this bicycle?"

It's all in vain that I love him.

Shen Jianping complained to Xu Manyue with tears in his eyes, "Third sister-in-law, look at mother. She is so disrespectful to the elderly. She is so old and doesn't even know how to give way to a younger one like me."

"Luckily I earned seven work points today, so I got to her first."

Xu Manyue smiled and handed over the steamed bun hanging on the bicycle.

"Everyone in the family gets one. Today is your first day at work, and you've earned seven work points, so I'm giving you an extra steamed bun as a reward."

"What, steamed buns?" Shen Jianping's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly opened the paper bag. Inside was indeed fragrant and sweet steamed buns.

Thinking that others only had one steamed bun, but he actually had two, he felt so happy!

"Thank you, sister-in-law. You are so kind to me."

The old lady came over and snorted, "How could it be bad? Your third sister-in-law exchanged all the food coupons your third brother left for her for steamed buns and brought them back for you."

How many daughters-in-law would be willing to do this?

The third brother married the right person.
