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

For the next eight minutes, the two hid in a corner. Xu Manyue kept staring at the time on her watch, and the old lady looked at the closed door nervously.

Even when the clock struck five, the door remained closed.

It seems that Boss Shen and his team failed to buy food and were indeed tricked.

Xu Manyue and the old lady looked at each other and were about to take their separate actions.

Suddenly, there was a creak and the door opened.

The two men froze, stopped moving, and subconsciously moved forward.

inside the door.

A tall and thin man with a scholarly air walked out from inside, followed by five or six young and strong men, each led by him.

Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is a high-ranking figure in the black market.

When Xu Manyue saw the man's appearance clearly, she was stunned for a moment.

How could it be Lu Ming? Last time, he exchanged a valuable watch with her for three kilograms of food coupons, and even begged her for it.

The old lady noticed Man Yue's strangeness and asked quietly, "Do you know this person?"

Xu Manyue nodded with a complicated expression. Not only did she know him, but Boss Shen and Second Boss Shen who were still inside also knew him.

At the beginning, the reason why Lu Ming followed the two brothers was that he suspected that they had stolen his food coupons.

"Mom, act according to the circumstances. Remember not to reveal your identity." Xu Manyue reminded her again, and then the two separated and ran to the place with the most people in the black market.

Then he grabbed the person and shouted, "There's food for sale in that shabby house over there. The quantity is limited, first come, first served."

As soon as these words were spoken, those who heard the news ran over there.

Soon, the entire black market became chaotic.

Xu Manyue did not take the opportunity to run away, but found a corner again, dressed herself up as an old woman, blended into the crowd, and followed.

After a while, everyone rushed into the dilapidated house.

However, after searching for a long time, everyone only found some white broken egg shells and some sweet potato peels on the ground.

There was no food at all.

When Xu Manyue saw this scene, she instantly guessed that Boss Shen and the others had already left, so she took advantage of the chaos to leave again.

After leaving the black market.

In a small alley, Xu Manyue found the old lady who had returned to her original appearance and Boss Shen who was carrying half a bag of things.

This is the meeting place we agreed upon.

"Second brother hasn't come back yet?" Xu Manyue looked around but still couldn't see Shen Laoer.

Boss Shen explained, "After listening to your and mother's analysis last time, we felt it made sense, so we made two preparations and split our forces into two groups."

"I was responsible for buying food from that person, and he was responsible for observing secretly. If he found something wrong, he would secretly follow those people, find out where the food was hidden, and then plan to take the food out."

"Today's grain transaction is indeed a scam. They don't want to give us grain, they just want money."

"The second one is still behind now, he will probably be back soon."

"Thanks to the commotion caused by mother and my sister-in-law, we were able to escape quickly."

The old lady patted her chest and said, "It was a close call just now. I was almost caught."

"Luckily, I started crying and making a scene, saying they were bullying the elderly. This aroused the sympathy of the young people around, and with their help, I was able to escape successfully."

Soon, Shen Lao Er also came back carrying half a bag of things.

Now that we have the food, we can't stay here for long.

Xu Manyue rode her bicycle and took the old lady back first.

Boss Shen and Boss Shen were responsible for bringing the food back. Now that it was dark, it was difficult for anyone to notice.

It’s been a busy day.

The food was finally successfully delivered home.

The entire Shen family gathered together.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, the old lady opened her two pockets.

"Mom, look, it's cornmeal and white rice." Shen Jianping couldn't help getting excited.

These grains basically didn't cost any money. My eldest brother and the others just put some money in as food purchase money.

This amount of money can't buy so much food on the black market.

Shen Lao Er looked at these things and laughed, "Mom, we picked up food for free today."

"Thanks to you and your sister-in-law for messing up that place, we now have the opportunity to carry the food and sneak away. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to even run away."

The old lady was also very excited. "This time, the third daughter-in-law and you two brothers, even if the cafeteria is disbanded, our family doesn't have to worry for the time being."

Xu Manyue suddenly remembered growing sweet potatoes and raising rabbits.

"Mom, the food problem has come to an end for now. Next, we should put rabbits and sweet potatoes on the agenda."

The old lady slapped her forehead suddenly and said, "Look at my memory. How could I have forgotten this matter?"

"How about this, take a day off tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, Big Brother and Second Brother, you two brothers will be responsible for going up the mountain and bringing back a pair of rabbits."

"Eldest wife, second wife, you two will be responsible for raising the rabbits from now on."

"The third son's wife, the fourth son and I are responsible for growing sweet potatoes."

To plant sweet potatoes, you can first cultivate sweet potato seedlings in your own yard. After the sweet potato seedlings grow out, you can use the cutting planting method to plant the sweet potato vines into the soil.

You don't have to worry about it. As long as you choose a good place to plant it and plant the sweet potato vines in the right place, you can basically get a harvest.

After arranging their respective tasks, it was already getting late.

The old lady waved her hand and told everyone to go back and rest as they still had things to do tomorrow.

Xu Manyue returned to the room.

She discovered that the transformation value had greatly increased today, especially when the food was brought home. The moment the Shen family saw it, the system prompt sounds in her mind rang one after another.

Today, the transformation value was directly increased by one thousand, and an additional reward was given of ten barrels of mountain spring water, five kilograms of rapeseed oil, and a piece of pork belly.

Now her total transformation value has reached 3,233, meeting the conditions for system upgrade.

Xu Manyue thought of the various daily necessities in the system mall, as well as the 5,000 yuan transformation reward.

She immediately chose to deduct two thousand transformation points and upgrade the system.

"Ding, system upgrade in progress... System upgrade successful, intermediate system mall opened, the ultimate mother-in-law family transformation plan officially started."

"The primary transformation task requires: transform the Shen family into people who are positive about the Shen family. Each successful transformation will earn you 500 yuan, and the total reward for all members of the Shen family is 5,000 yuan."

"Current progress of primary mission transformation: 25%."

Xu Manyue immediately checked the upgraded system mall.

In the past, you could only buy food here, but now you can buy not only a variety of food, but also a variety of general merchandise.

For example, fabrics, quilt covers, large quilts, Plum watches, and even Phoenix brand bicycles are available.

It is even more comprehensive than the department store in the county town.

Of course, these things need to be exchanged for transformation value.
