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

When Xu Manyue arrived in the town, she immediately took the letter and the things to the address given by Shen Jingming, waited in line for a long time, and then sent them over.

After finishing all this, she looked around and saw nothing interesting to see, so she was planning to go home directly.

Unexpectedly, someone called me.

Lu Ming ran over and said, "Comrade, please wait a moment."

He was the one who exchanged his watch for three kilograms of food coupons with her last time.

Xu Manyue paused and looked at him, "Is there something wrong?"

Lu Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around. There were still some people coming and going.

"Comrade, could you please take a moment to speak?"

Xu Manyue instantly became alert. After all, one must be on guard against others.

"Just tell me what's going on. I'm in a hurry to go back."

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and realized that his behavior might cause trouble to the other party.

He hesitated for a moment and then asked quietly, "Comrade, I wonder if you can still exchange some food coupons with me?"

Living in the city, each adult’s monthly food ration was only over 20 kilograms.

There is even less food for children. For a whole family with elderly people and growing children, there is never enough food.

Xu Manyue shook her head and said, "Those few food coupons from last time were left by my husband. I don't have any extra ones."

At first, she was just worried about his three kilograms of food coupons, which were lost by Boss Shen and his men, so she exchanged them with him.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Lu Ming's eyes, "Sorry, I disturbed you."

That’s right, how could a country person have so many food coupons?

After Xu Manyue and Lu Ming separated, they passed by the supply and marketing cooperative on the way and went in to take a look.

To be honest, there's basically nothing in there.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Comrade, do you still have your menstrual pad?"

The salesperson glanced at her subconsciously. Her clothes were covered in patches, she looked dirty and skinny. She looked like a typical country girl.

Menstrual pads are expensive, so few rural girls would buy them.

"Yes, fifty cents. I'll get it for you."

"I want two." Xu Manyue felt a little painful, but she still gritted her teeth and took out a dollar from her pocket and handed it over.

You can save on everything else, but not on this.

What she used before were all made by herself, but they were not as good as the ones bought from others and were not convenient to use.

After riding her bicycle back home, Xu Manyue just opened the door and heard whispers inside.

"My dear, what's Jingming's wife like? Is she easy to bully?"

"When I married her off, I was right to ask you to agree. It's definitely better to let her in than to let Xu Mingyue in."

"What? Not at all. Today I asked her to buy some food for the sake of the baby in my belly. She is an aunt and didn't help at all."

"What? The third daughter-in-law actually dared to do this to you, and your mother-in-law and your husband didn't say anything?"

"Oh, now in this family, the third daughter-in-law's status in my mother-in-law's heart is almost catching up with her eldest son and eldest grandson. How can she care about me?"

Xu Manyue stood at the door and listened for a long time. The people inside were still talking. Without saying a word, she pushed the door open and went in.

"Sister-in-law, Aunt Liu, if you have anything to say, please say it to my face. I hate people who gossip behind my back the most."

The sudden sound scared the two people who were whispering to each other so much that they patted their chests and gasped for breath.

Aunt Liu quickly came to her senses, as if she had not heard what had just been said.

She walked to Xu Manyue with a smile and glanced at the things she was holding in her hand several times.

"Hey, wife Jingming, you're back. What did you buy?"

Mrs. Shen looked a little uncomfortable, but when she thought about her own mother being here, and the two of them facing one, there was no need to be afraid of Xu Manyue.

Thinking of this, she walked over and wanted to take the thing from Xu Manyue's hand.

"Third daughter-in-law, what did you buy? Did you buy the steamed bread I asked you to buy?"

Xu Manyue turned sideways to avoid her hand and frowned, "Sister-in-law, this is my thing. I bought it with my own money. You are so rude."

"As for the steamed buns, you didn't give me any money or tickets, so how can I buy them for you?"

After she finished speaking, before Mrs. Shen's expression changed, she looked at the people around her and took the initiative.

"Aunt Liu, I think you are a sensible person. Why don't you teach your sister-in-law a lesson?"

This sounds like sarcasm, but also like a sincere question.

Mrs. Shen's expression changed instantly. "Third wife, what do you mean? Isn't this clearly saying that I'm stupid?"

She admitted that her brain was not as good as hers and the second son's wife's, but she was not so stupid that she could not understand other people's sarcasm.

Aunt Liu's face turned red and blue with anger, "Wife Jingming, my daughter is your sister-in-law."

"She gave birth to two children for the Shen family, and now she's pregnant with another one. Isn't it too much to say that to her?"

I thought she was an easy person to bully, otherwise she wouldn't be forced to marry in a place of marriage by the Xu family.

But unexpectedly, it would be better to let Xu Mingyue marry in. At least Xu Mingyue is good at saving face and would not say anything about them so openly.

Xu Manyue's tone faded. "Yes, that's what I mean. If you think I'm going too far, sister-in-law, if you're not convinced, you can tell brother or mother."

"Aunt Liu, if you talk nonsense outside, I don't mind talking to you in front of everyone."

After saying these two words, Xu Manyue pushed the bicycle into the room and closed the door directly, blocking the two people's sight.

"Mom, look at that expression on her face and what she said. She simply doesn't take me, her sister-in-law, seriously at all."

Aunt Liu glanced at the closed door, then looked at her silly daughter and sighed, "You, you're already in your thirties, and you're not as good as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old."

With just two or three simple sentences, he really grasped the weaknesses of the mother and daughter.

As a mother-in-law, she knew exactly what kind of person her son-in-law was. There was no way she would offend Shen Jingming's wife for the sake of her daughter.

As for the old lady on my in-laws' side, that's even more impossible.

In the incident just now, neither of them was in the right, and the old lady, their in-laws, would definitely not help them.

Aunt Liu suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit today, and instantly smiled at the people around her, "My daughter, I have a favor to ask of you."

Mrs. Shen's eyes turned, and she felt a little uneasy. "Mom, you didn't come to see the baby in my belly this time, but came here to borrow money from me, right?"

Aunt Liu was secretly surprised. She didn't expect that her daughter could be so smart for once.

However, she still put on a good face and patiently explained, "I am your biological mother. How could I not come to see you when you are pregnant? Look, since you became pregnant, who in the Shen family has cared about you? It wasn't me, your mother, who came all the way to see you."

"Why do you question my intentions so much? I feel bad." As she spoke, Aunt Liu wiped away her non-existent tears.

Mrs. Shen was about to nod, but it turned out that no one in the Shen family cared about her.

But the next second, for some reason, she remembered the time when her third sister-in-law gave her her own rations and protected her when her man attacked her...
