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

Chapter 78: No Food in the Warehouse

After warning Mrs. Shen, Xu Manyue looked at the large group of people who were still surrounding the team leader and making trouble, and was silent for a moment.

After being reborn, there are many things she cannot change.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back."

Mrs. Shen was stunned and stood still. "Today's rations haven't been distributed yet?"

"No need. There's no food in the cafeteria today. Didn't you see that big iron pot we used to have? It's not even brought out."

Xu Manyue pulled her back.

There were some things she didn't say.

The captain will not agree to open the warehouse and distribute the grain. Even if you stay here and cause trouble, it will be useless because there is no grain in the warehouse and it will only waste your energy.

Mrs. Shen wanted to say something, but Xu Manyue gave her a cold look, and she immediately shut her mouth, not daring to speak anymore.

on the way home.

There were also many people with pale faces and thin bodies, rushing to the canteen with their rice bowls.

Xu Manyue bent down with her head down, walked her own way with a cane, and never glanced at the people on the road.

Mrs. Shen was so hungry that she had no strength left and could only walk with the help of the crutches in her hand.

The two had just come out of the cafeteria.

Suddenly, a familiar voice called Xu Manyue, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a while. How did you become like this?"

"Is it that the Shen family didn't treat you well?" Xu Mingyue deliberately touched her slightly protruding belly and stood in front of her with a smile.

Xu Manyue raised her head and looked at Xu Mingyue's belly. "You are pregnant, unmarried?"

Although I heard the news that she and Lu Huaiyuan were engaged a few days ago, they are not married after all.

Judging from her belly, she is probably almost three months pregnant.

Xu Mingyue nodded shyly, "Yes, it's Brother Huaiyuan's child. He said he would protect me and the child."

"In two days, we will be married."

"Cousin, will you bless me and him?"

She curled her lips into a smile, looking at Xu Manyue's sallow face, her eyes full of mockery.

Sure enough, in less than three months, this man had been tortured beyond recognition by the Shen family.

Xu Manyue said calmly, "Of course I will bless you. I hope you can live well."

After saying this, she took Mrs. Shen away.

In her previous life, she actually ignored the fact that Xu Mingyue was pregnant, but she clearly remembered that she was not pregnant.

But she remembered another thing.

The reason why Lu Huaiyuan and the Xu family were able to escape the famine successfully, besides cruelly abandoning her, was that they had food.

As luck would have it, their food was the same batch of food that Boss Shen and his men got on the black market yesterday.

Now the food has arrived at the Shen family. In this life, the Xu family and Lu Huaiyuan have no food to support them to survive on the road of fleeing famine.

For Xu Mingyue to get pregnant at this time would definitely be courting death.

Soon, Xu Manyue and Shen Dasao returned to the Shen family.

Lin Luoxia saw the two men coming back empty-handed and instantly realized something.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, has the cafeteria been disbanded?..."

Otherwise, given their personalities, how could they possibly come back empty-handed?

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Let's go back to the house first."

inside the house.

The entire Shen family was sitting at the dinner table, waiting for the two men to come back with food.

When they saw the two men coming back empty-handed, the Shen family members were all shocked.

There was only one thought in my mind: the most difficult time was coming.

The old lady sat in the middle and glanced at her sons and daughters-in-law with a cold look. "Why are you so nervous? I'm still here. You're such a loser."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone present seemed to have a backbone and looked at the old lady.

Yes, mother is still alive. She is an old woman who has experienced countless wars and famines. As long as she is here, this family will not be in chaos.

The old lady waved towards Xu Manyue and said, "Third daughter-in-law, please sit next to mother and tell everyone what happened in the cafeteria."

Although everyone basically guessed what happened, hearing it with one's own ears was another matter.

Xu Manyue walked over and sat next to the old lady. "Mom, big brother, second brother and his wife, the team leader announced today that the team's canteen has been completely disbanded, and there is no food in the warehouse. I guess there is no hope for food distribution."

"Last night, we discussed planting sweet potatoes and raising rabbits. We need to put it on the agenda right away."

Boss Shen was anxious. "No, Third Sister-in-law, why is there no food in the brigade's warehouse? There should at least be some food in there, right?"

That was not an ordinary warehouse, but the most important grain warehouse for the entire brigade.

Every year, the public grain payment is made from grain from there, and the food for the canteen also comes from there.

Xu Manyue was silent for a moment. "Our area has been experiencing drought for several years. We can't grow much food every year, and we still have to pay the public grain tax every year. How can there be any food left in the warehouse?"

"If there is food in the warehouse, how could the captain declare the canteen disbanded?"

Everyone was silent.

Although they are not good people, they still respect the captain in their hearts. He is definitely a selfless and good person.

Since he took up the position of team leader, he has basically spent most of his energy on how to make the members of the team live a good life.

Even when he was sick, the captain refused to rest and continued to lead everyone to survive with great difficulty.

If someone else had been the team leader, they would have almost all starved to death, just like the neighboring teams.

Xu Manyue thought of her past life again. If she had secretly taken a handful of peanuts from Uncle Yang while he was guarding the warehouse, she would not have starved to death.

The old lady sighed and said, "Alright, let's just do it this way. Let's do as we discussed last night."

"The third daughter-in-law stays here, and everyone else goes back to bed to save your energy. If you're really hungry at night, come to me and get half a sweet potato."

Xu Manyue glanced at Mrs. Shen, who was trembling and didn't dare to look up, and said, "Wait, mother, I have something to say."

"Third sister-in-law, don't, please don't say it." Mrs. Shen's face turned pale in an instant, and she shook her head and begged.

Everyone's eyes were on her.

Especially Boss Shen, he guessed it at once. It must be this damn woman who caused trouble again.

He glanced at the woman beside him and smiled coldly, "Sister-in-law, just tell me, I will teach your sister-in-law a lesson and make sure she doesn't do it again."

As Boss Shen spoke, he grabbed Mrs. Shen's hair, who was curled up in fear, and threw her to the ground.

Sister Shen couldn't stop crying and begged again, "Don't, don't say it, Third Sister-in-law, please don't say it..."

Xu Manyue remained unmoved, her expression cold. "Today, my sister-in-law and I went to get food together. When she heard the news that the cafeteria was disbanded, she almost told others that we had no food."

"Fortunately, I quickly covered her mouth. Otherwise, if this matter were exposed, the consequences would be disastrous."

The Shen family members were all frightened and their eyes turned bad when they looked at Mrs. Shen.

"Don't worry, I'll teach her a lesson right away."

Boss Shen was furious. He picked up a bamboo stick and dragged the man into their room.

In an instant, a series of screams and pleas rang out, making people feel a chill on their backs.

When Xu Manyue heard these voices, her emotions no longer fluctuated.

She knew in her heart that there were some things and some people that should not be indulged, and she dared not be soft-hearted towards them.

Once you become soft-hearted, it will bring you into irreparable trouble.

After everyone has dispersed.

The old lady lowered her head and touched Xu Manyue's belly. "Jingming has been gone for almost half a month. Is there any movement here?"

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "No."

Last night, she spent fifty transformation points to buy a pregnancy test, but the result showed that she was not pregnant.

There was a hint of disappointment in the old lady's eyes, but she felt a little relieved in her heart.

"It's better not to get pregnant, it's better not to get pregnant."

If I get pregnant, who knows what to do next.

Although the third child may die at any time while serving in the army, now is definitely not a good time to have a baby.

After Xu Manyue returned to her room, she lay on the bed for a while.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't fall asleep. The scene of the team leader starving to death at the door of the warehouse kept flashing through her mind.

I felt depressed and uncomfortable, and my mind was in a mess.
