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

Turning around, I saw that it was Boss Shen and Second Boss Shen.

Xu Manyue glanced behind them a few times and quickly winked at the two of them.

Shen Laoer reacted instantly and realized that someone was following them.

So he made a quick decision and pulled Boss Shen towards another fork in the road to avoid causing trouble for Xu Manyue.

After the two left, a tall, thin man walked up from the alley and looked Xu Manyue up and down. "Comrade, what is your relationship with those two people just now?"

Xu Manyue shook her head. "They were asking for directions. I don't know them."

The man in front of me looks bookish and doesn't seem like a bad person.

But it was suspicious that he followed Boss Shen and the others.

Lu Ming looked at Xu Manyue for a long while and said, "You don't look like you are from this town."

"Could it be that he came from the countryside?"

Xu Manyue imitated him, looking him up and down. "I see you're wearing a long gown, and you're a scholar. Don't you know it's impolite to look a female comrade up and down like that?"

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, I offended you, but please believe me, I'm not a bad person."

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "Bad guys don't say they are bad guys. You came up and looked at me wantonly. I find it hard to believe that you are not a bad guy."

Lu Ming was silent for a while, then looked around. There were only the two of them here.

"Okay, maybe my behavior was inappropriate. I apologize to you again here, but the reason I did this just now was because I lost my food coupons, and those two people just now are very suspicious."

"You should know that without a food coupon in the city, people will starve to death. And that was a three-jin food coupon. Our whole family depends on that coupon to buy food and survive."

Xu Manyue was slightly stunned. Could it be that this person was the victim?

However, Boss Shen and his men came here to investigate the black market situation, so how could they possibly take the initiative to cause trouble?

Besides, she didn't think the Shen family would do anything sneaky.

She thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure it was those two who stole it?"

Lu Ming thought about it again. "Although I'm not sure, they were with me at the time. If it weren't for them, I really don't know how this food coupon fell."

Xu Manyue looked around. This was a small alley and there was basically no one around.

She lowered her voice and said, "I have three food coupons worth one pound here. I can exchange them with you."

She has her own small kitchen and can buy food in the system mall. Food coupons are of no use to her.

Lu Ming's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

But the next second, he shook his head and said, "But I don't have any money on me."

Xu Manyue blinked, "It doesn't necessarily have to be money. As long as the item is suitable, we can trade it."

She lacks more than just money.

Lu Ming thought for a moment and took off the watch on his wrist. "What do you think of this?"

Although he has worn this watch for many years, apart from looking a little old, everything else about it is in good condition.

There is famine everywhere now. Even on the black market, food is hard to come by, and the price is five or six times higher than the normal price.

This watch of his would probably be worth more than 20 yuan on the black market. If he hadn't been at the end of his rope, he wouldn't have been willing to give it up.

Xu Manyue's eyes widened and she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I don't have that many food coupons to exchange with you."

She was not an ignorant person. The value of this watch was far more than three kilograms of food coupons.

If the value difference wasn't that big, it would be fine, but the gap is too big.

Lu Ming took the watch back and said, "How about this? You wait here for me. I'll go and exchange this watch for money. Then I'll use the money to exchange for the ticket."

Xu Manyue looked at the sky and thought that if she didn't go back soon, she would probably have to go home in the dark.

"No, I should go back."

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting that the person in front of him lived in the countryside and was in a hurry to go home.

Thinking of his old mother who was almost starving to death at home, he immediately handed the watch in his hand to Xu Manyue.

"Comrade, I really need food coupons. Can I exchange this watch with you? Don't worry, I only need three kilograms of food coupons."

Xu Manyue was silent for a moment, took out three food coupons from her pocket and handed them to Lu Ming.

"Okay, anyway, I'm not the one who suffers, as long as you don't regret it."

Lu Ming took the food coupons with tears of joy, "No, since I've made the deal, it's yours. I still have some integrity."

A female comrade from the countryside could produce food coupons that were only available in the city, which meant that her family must have some background.

He's not that shameless.

After the transaction, Xu Manyue just came out of the alley and saw the two brothers of Boss Shen hiding not far away.

"Big brother, second brother, you haven't gone back yet?"

Shen Lao Er glanced in the direction of the alley and asked, "Did that person give you any trouble?"

Xu Manyue understood that these two people were afraid that something would happen to her.

She considered her answer and said, "No, it seems that person is afraid of losing his food coupons, so he is behind you."

Boss Shen was furious when he heard this. "What does that guy mean? Does he suspect we stole his food coupons?"

"What a joke! What normal man would do such a sneaky thing?"

Shen Lao Er was also stunned for a moment, "I thought he was a black market guy, deliberately looking for trouble, otherwise who would sneak behind someone."

Now that things have been sorted out, it's time to go back.

There was only one bicycle, and she was his brother's wife, so Boss Shen and his friend naturally felt embarrassed to go back with her.

Xu Manyue asked once and didn't ask any more questions. She rode her bike home first, while Boss Shen and the others walked back behind her.

It usually takes at least an hour to walk from the town.

Riding a bike doesn't take long.

When Xu Manyue arrived home, the two of them were still not there.

Seeing that the time was almost up and the two had not returned yet, the old lady was very worried and paced back and forth in the house.

Xu Manyue glanced at the time. Even if they walked, they should have arrived by now. Boss Shen and the others hadn't returned yet. They didn't really have to be in any danger, right?

"Mom, don't worry, my second brother and the others know their limits."

Mrs. Shen was also extremely anxious. She subconsciously touched her slightly pregnant belly. What would she do if something really happened to her man?

Lin Luoxia held her daughter's hand, subconsciously tightening it again and again.

Shen Jianping, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Mom, how about I look along the road?"

Third sister-in-law has been back for a long time. Even if eldest brother and the others were walking, they shouldn't be nowhere to be seen for so long.

The old lady rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's the point of you going? Your eldest and second brothers can't handle this, so you'll only cause more trouble."

Xu Manyue pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, let's wait another ten minutes. If Big Brother and the others haven't returned in ten minutes, we can go back along the road and take a look."

Although it's a stupid way, it's the only way for now.

The old lady looked at Xu Manyue and said, "Third daughter-in-law, are you sure that when you come back, the eldest brother and the others will come back with you?"
