Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win
Chapter 73 Buying Food on the Black Market
The old lady's eyes lit up instantly, "This is indeed a good idea."
"Just do as you say."
Suddenly, she remembered another thing.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, is it reliable for you to go to the black market to buy food tomorrow?"
"How about taking the fourth child with you? One more person means more care."
Shen Jianping nodded quickly, "Yes, big brother, second brother, take me with you. I can earn seven work points a day now, and I can definitely help you."
Boss Shen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Mom, please don't let this guy cause more trouble. We'll have to devote our energy to taking care of him when the time comes."
"Big brother is right, the fourth child just needs to stay at home."
These days, the drought is getting worse. Without water, work in the fields is basically useless, and everyone is idle.
Xu Manyue thought for a moment and said, "Brother, when you make a deal, always keep a hand in everything and don't trust the people you're trading with too much."
So what if it’s a life-saving grace? Human nature is the most complicated.
There is so little food now, and they know nothing about that person's situation. What if it is just a trap set by him?
Shen Lao Er nodded, "We have also thought about what you said."
"But I think he still cares about his family. We saved his wife and children, so he wouldn't cheat us."
Boss Shen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law. Your second brother and I have inherited mother's true teachings on judging people. We are very accurate. That person is absolutely reliable."
The old lady slapped him on the forehead. "With your limited skills, you claim to have inherited my true teachings. It's always better to be cautious. You can only judge a person by his appearance, not his heart. Be careful, both of you."
"It's always better to be prepared."
"Third daughter-in-law, this is also for your own good."
The eldest and second oldest Shen didn't dare to say a word and nodded obediently, "Mom is right, we must be careful and vigilant."
In this family, they are not afraid of anyone except their own mother.
Even though the old lady has a bad reputation outside, she is the backbone of this family. Without her, this family will definitely fall apart.
The old lady snorted coldly, "How about this, tomorrow the third daughter-in-law and I will go with you two."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Xu Manyue with a smile, "Old Third Wife, are you going?"
Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "If mom goes, I'll go too."
Boss Shen was the first to object. "Mom, the black market is so dangerous. Why would an old lady like you go there? If something goes wrong, we will have to split our energy to take care of you and your mother-in-law."
Shen Lao Er frowned, "Mom, big brother is right. If we two grown men go there and really encounter danger, at least we can run away."
"If you and your third sister-in-law go and get caught, we'll have to run back to save you."
"Third sister-in-law, please persuade mother not to fool around with her."
Lin Luoxia, who was always silent, also spoke up, "Mom, you are old, just let the two brothers go, they are not children anymore."
Mrs. Shen also spoke up, "Yes, mother, what if something happens to you?"
Then she looked at Xu Manyue and said, "Third daughter-in-law, don't just sit there. Try to persuade mother. We women can't just go to a place like the black market."
The old lady was silent for a moment, then looked at Xu Manyue, "Third daughter-in-law, do you also think I shouldn't go?"
Xu Manyue thought for a moment, then shook her head and looked at everyone. "Brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, I know you are worried, but mother and I will be waiting at the entrance of the black market tomorrow."
"If you come out safely, then everything will be fine. If you don't come out by the agreed time, my mother and I will find a way to save you."
"What do you think?"
Mrs. Shen curled her lips and said, "Old Third Wife, stop bragging and make your tongue slip. Who do you think you are?"
"If you take your mother and squat at the entrance of the black market, you'll be discovered if you're not careful. How can you outrun those grown men then?"
"Eldest brother's wife, do you look down on me?" The old lady's face changed instantly and her tone became cold.
These words seemed to be directed at the third son's wife, but no matter how she listened, she felt that they were directed at her, the old woman.
Mrs. Shen smiled awkwardly, "Mom, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the third daughter-in-law, don't be angry, don't be angry."
She still remembered clearly how she was almost sent back to her parents' home this morning, and now she didn't dare to anger the old lady.
Xu Manyue said in a cold voice, "Sister-in-law, you are so capable, why don't you go in person? I see that you are very eloquent and you are not polite to your family members, but I don't know if you can deal with outsiders?"
"Look at what you said. I was just talking casually. Don't take it too seriously."
Mrs. Shen smiled awkwardly.
"You are the old lady's favorite. Who in this family dares to say anything bad about you?"
Xu Manyue's expression turned completely cold. "Sister-in-law, don't be so sarcastic. If you have the guts, go ahead. Since I dare to take mother there, I will naturally find a way to bring her back safely."
"Even if big brother and the others encounter problems, I can still help."
"If you have my ability, you can go too."
"If you don't have the ability, don't make sarcastic remarks here."
Mrs. Shen opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Boss Shen grabbed her sleeve.
"You think it's not shameful enough? It's okay for outsiders, but you don't even let your own brother and sister-in-law go. Why did I marry you as my wife?"
The old lady looked at him coldly and said, "Boss, you should take good care of your daughter-in-law. She is lawless."
"This morning, she brought her mother here, intending to use the baby in her belly to blackmail me, your mother."
"If it doesn't work, just let her go back to the Liu family. Our Shen family really can't afford a daughter-in-law who spreads rumors like this."
Mrs. Shen's face turned pale instantly, and she knelt on the ground and begged, "Mom, please don't chase me away. I was wrong. I will never say such things again."
In this family, as long as the old lady gives the order, her husband will definitely abandon her.
She doesn't want to be an abandoned remarried woman and doesn't want to be looked down upon by outsiders.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen was extremely angry.
He pulled her up from the ground and said, "Get out of here! Go back to your Liu family tonight! You dare to help your mother to deal with my mother? Are you tired of living?"
In the beginning, he had to marry her because of her mother Liu Aihua's scheming.
If it weren't for this incident, the woman he loved wouldn't have married someone else and been beaten to death by a man.'
She knew very well that he hated the Liu family, and hated Liu Aihua the most, but she still helped Liu Aihua bully his mother.
This is simply challenging his bottom line.
Mrs. Shen's tears suddenly flowed out, and she looked up at the man with red eyes.
"I...I didn't mean it. Please don't chase me away, okay, my child's father...please don't chase me away..."
