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

Boss Shen was shivering with cold air. He dragged Mrs. Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, out of the room with one hand.

"You reflect on your behavior outside. If you still don't know your mistakes, I will personally send you back to your parents' home tonight. From now on, I will pretend that you are no longer my wife."

Shen Qingqing hurried out to support Shen Dasao, "Mom, are you okay? Don't say anything. Just listen to grandma and dad."

All the big and small matters in this family are decided by grandma. With grandma around, this family is a complete one.

Mrs. Shen lowered her head and wiped her tears, "Qingqing, you are still the best. A daughter knows how to care for her mother."

Unlike her son, who is still in there and has not come out to see her as his mother.

Shen Qingqing pulled the corner of her mouth, "Mom, have you forgotten? This morning you were still saying that it's good to have a son. Only by having a son can you gain a firm foothold in your husband's family."

She was in the corner and heard it clearly.

Mrs. Shen smiled awkwardly, "Mom was just joking. Sons and daughters are the same. I love them all."

inside the house.

After discussing for a long time, they finally decided to do as the old lady and Xu Manyue wished.

The two brothers Shen Lao Da went to the black market to buy food, and the old lady and Xu Manyue pretended to be buyers.

When Boss Shen and his friends were almost done with their transaction, Xu Manyue took the old lady to the black market pretending to buy something.

If something happened, Xu Manyue and the old lady would act according to circumstances and find a chance for the two to escape.

Of course, it would be best if nothing happened, and then Xu Manyue and the others would go back directly.

After discussing the plan.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "It's settled. Everyone go back and rest first, and prepare to go to the black market to buy food tomorrow."

After Xu Manyue returned to the room, she looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

She was also a little hungry.

Recently, because of this small kitchen, her complexion looks much better than when she was in Xu's house.

As a result, she became more beautiful and gained weight.

However, due to Xu Manyue's deliberate control, it was not so obvious.

She was afraid that it would be too obvious and arouse suspicion.

Xu Manyue went into the kitchen and cooked a soft, sweet corn and a boiled egg.

These two things are her dinner. They won’t make her fat and are nutritious and good for her health.

Soon, it was the next day.

The drought has become more and more severe these days, and the wild vegetable porridge in the canteen has become thinner and thinner. Everyone in the team is starving.

Basically, except for getting meals, I lie on my bed at home to save energy.

It's the same in the Shen family. Now the old lady doesn't allow anyone to get up early.

Every morning, Xu Manyue wakes up naturally around seven o'clock.

Then I went into the small kitchen, washed up quickly, and boiled a sweet potato and an egg for breakfast.

At noon, the Shen family went to the cafeteria to get their food. After quickly finishing their meal, everyone started to move.

The two brothers Shen Lao Da went to the county town first.

Xu Manyue took the old lady and followed them on a bicycle.

on the way.

The old lady's right eyelid kept twitching, and she felt a little uneasy. "Old Third Wife, do you think something will happen this time?"

The money used to buy food today is already all the family’s assets.

If the money is gone and food cannot be bought, what will happen to this family?

Xu Manyue comforted her while riding her bicycle, "Don't worry, Mom. My second brother is very smart and has definitely prepared a backup plan. If anything really goes wrong, they will definitely be able to get away with the money."

In a few days, the brigade's canteen will be completely disbanded, the warehouse will be out of food, and each household will basically not get any food.

Everyone will focus on wild vegetables, but there are only a few wild vegetables nearby, and it is estimated that in a few days, all the wild vegetables around will be eaten up.

Next came the worst and most terrifying period of the famine.

By that time, the ground was littered with bloated, starving corpses and refugees fleeing famine.

The old lady was silent for a moment and said, "Whatever, let's give it a try. What if we can successfully buy some food?"

In years of famine, money is the least valuable thing, and food is the only hope of survival.

Soon, the two arrived in the county town. It was around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Boss Shen and the people from the black market agreed to trade at four o'clock. If they haven't come out after five o'clock, something must have happened.

Xu Manyue glanced around and said, "Mom, it's still early. I'll take you around first and familiarize you with the surrounding routes."

If something really happens, it’s easier to run away.

The old lady nodded. "Okay, it's good to get familiar with it. But we can't hang around there all the time. It would be bad if we attract people's attention. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative first and sell the eggs we brought today. We will only keep five eggs."

"When the time comes, we'll take these five eggs in, pretend to be sellers, and secretly inquire about the situation."

Xu Manyue thought about it and nodded, "Okay, let's go sell the eggs first."

The two of them carried a basket and quickly arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Individual transactions are not allowed now. Generally speaking, rural mountain products or agricultural products are basically sold to supply and marketing cooperatives or scrap yards.

It is basically illegal in other places.

The old lady walked into the supply and marketing cooperative carrying a basket of eggs and said, "Comrade, I want to exchange eggs."

As soon as these words were spoken, the salesperson, who had been listless, stood up instantly, her eyes fixed on the basket in her hand.

“How many eggs are in this basket?”

Now every household is tightening their belts and counting food to survive. She hasn't eaten eggs for several months.

The old lady handed over the basket. "There are ten, comrade. Count them."

The salesperson's eyes lit up as he carefully lifted the gray cloth on the basket and counted the items carefully.

"Well, it's ten, not bad."

Moreover, these eggs appear to be larger than ordinary eggs. This is probably because the people who raise the chickens are doing a good job of raising them.

Xu Manyue stood aside, looking at the size of the eggs, and couldn't help but admire the old lady. Apart from anything else, the old lady's chicken-raising skills were absolutely excellent.

One egg costs five cents, ten eggs cost fifty cents.

The salesperson quickly handed the old lady fifty cents and said, "Count it and see if it's correct."

The old lady took it with a smile, glanced at it casually, and put the money in her pocket. "Yes, it can't be wrong."
