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

Xu Manyue didn't even look at him, nodded perfunctorily, and then left quickly.

It’s impossible to reason with some people, like her so-called grandfather.

He thought he treated all his children equally and did not favor boys over girls, but in fact, he treated his two grandsons, Xu Xiangyang and Xu Xiangbei, better than his two granddaughters, her and Xu Mingyue.

Of course, between her and Xu Mingyue, he treats Xu Mingyue relatively better.

But there is not much difference. In his mind, they are all money-losing products.

As soon as Xu Manyue left the house, Old Lady Xu lifted the curtain and walked to Old Man Xu's side. She wiped her face with a handkerchief using the turbid water in the basin and sighed to persuade him.

"Old man, you should control your temper. After all, she is a girl, and girls are thin-skinned. What you said will hurt her."

Old man Xu glared at her and said, "Humph, it's all because of you and the eldest daughter-in-law who spoiled her. Her temper is getting wilder and wilder. Let her learn more from Mingyue in the future. Don't wait until she marries into the Shen family and people say that our Xu family doesn't know how to teach their daughters."

"What you said is true. Mingyue was raised in the city for fifteen years before returning, and Manyue grew up in the village since childhood. Their living environments are different. How can they be the same?" Old Lady Xu shook her head.

Her two granddaughters were more beautiful than each other. Man Yue originally looked prettier than Ming Yue, but unfortunately she had a bad temper and was not as considerate and gentle as Ming Yue.

Before Mingyue came back, she was quite fond of her granddaughter Manyue.

Old Man Xu waved his hands impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop talking to me about this. Let's settle the marriage soon. It's really annoying to see a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl still unmarried."

There's always trouble in this house all day long, so it's best if you get married off soon.

On the way to work.

Xu Shanping carried a hoe and found an opportunity to walk to Xu Manyue and secretly put a ball of wild vegetables into her hand.

"I heard from your mother that you were unconscious all day yesterday and didn't eat anything. Find a chance to eat this."

"As for the substitutionary marriage, if you really don't want to, Dad will find an opportunity to bring it up with the family."

Old man Xu, who was walking in front, glanced at the scene behind him, frowned and coughed loudly.

Old Mrs. Xu glanced back and saw her eldest son stuffing food into her granddaughter's mouth. She shook her head and tugged at Old Man Xu's sleeve, signaling him not to mind it.

She knew that he was still angry about Man Yue's perfunctory treatment of him this morning, and naturally he couldn't stand others being nice to that girl.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Xu pulled her hand away, carried the thing on his own, and strode forward.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at his receding back, sighed, and quickly quickened her pace to catch up.

When Tian Lanfang saw her husband giving her daughter a wild vegetable dumpling, which angered her parents-in-law and drove them away, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

My daughter was born to collect debts and is not sensible at all.

She treated her very well yesterday, the mother who gave birth to her and raised her, and now she is acting like a troublemaker again today, disturbing the peace of the family.

It seems that I need to get this substitution marriage done as soon as possible.

As she was thinking, Tian Lanfang pulled Xu Xiangbei and quickened her pace to go to the field to work, without paying any attention to the two people behind them.

Xu Shanping touched the tip of his nose somewhat awkwardly and subconsciously explained to Xu Manyue.

"Man Yue, don't blame your grandparents. They may have sharp tongues but a soft heart. They still love you. The reason they married you off was because Ming Yue has had poor health since she was a child."

Xu Manyue smiled without saying anything. She ate the wild vegetables in her hand in a few bites.

The wild vegetable ball was chewed and the bitter taste bloomed in the mouth.

Whether these people have sharp tongues but soft hearts, she had already understood this fact with her own life in her previous life.

No need to make excuses.

When we arrived at the field, most of the members had already arrived.

Some of them have sallow complexions and skinny bodies, while others are swollen with large, swollen, deathly gray faces. No matter whether they are old or young, few of them look normal.

The only thing they have in common is that they all place all their hopes on this land. Therefore, no matter how weak they are, they keep working.

The team leader took the lead and worked hard. His wife and son also worked hard and did not dare to rest for a moment.

In more than half a month, it will be the season for planting corn and soybeans.

However, because there had been no rain for several years, the sun scorched the earth, and the land gradually cracked. Without manual water irrigation for crops, it was impossible to grow food.

This piece of land in the west is not as dry as other lands. It is the only land that has hope of growing crops with minimal irrigation.

Therefore, all the members, no matter how tired or hard their work, are full of hope for this land.

Xu Manyue threw corn seeds into the ground and sighed silently in her heart.

She didn't know whether this land had grown crops in her previous life.

She only knew that the brigade's warehouse was almost out of food, and the seeds planted today were the few left in the warehouse for seed preservation.

In another month or two, the famine will become more severe, and the brigade's collective canteen will be completely disbanded due to lack of food.

Some who were extremely hungry even set their sights on the brigade's grain warehouse.

In the previous life, it was at this time that the Xu family decided to flee to other places to seek a chance of survival.

In the light evening breeze, countless sweat was shed on the land.

After working hard for most of the day, I finally got off work.

The members returned their tools to a designated place, went home to get their bowls and chopsticks, and hurried to the canteen.

Xu Manyue followed the Xu family, took their bowls and chopsticks and went to the cafeteria. Their pace was not slow, but when they got there, there was already a long line in front of them for food.

We had just lined up when suddenly there was a commotion at the front of the line.

With a bang, the bowl was smashed to the ground and broke into pieces.

"I worked a day and they gave us this wild vegetable soup. Is this food for humans? I'm afraid the livestock in the brigade wouldn't eat it, but they're giving it to humans."

"A few days ago, you had some wild vegetable porridge, and now you're just making this little soup. Are you trying to fool people?"

"I'm going to make this clear today. Don't try to fool me with these things again, or I'll sneak into the warehouse and get the food myself."

The people queuing around looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the big iron pot in the front.

There was only some soup made from wild vegetables in it, which was yellow-green in color, with some miscellaneous wild vegetables floating on top.

Not to mention meat, there is not even a trace of oil or water.
