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

Sister Shen's face looked a little unhappy, but she thought that the brigade canteen had been disbanded and there was no food at home.

If she doesn't look for her parents, the children at home will starve.

Many people died of starvation in those days. She was almost thirty years old and had just given birth to a few children. How could she bear to watch her children die in front of her?

Sister Shen took a deep breath and softened her tone, "Second sister-in-law, please be kind and help me."

"Adults can go hungry, but children cannot. You are also a parent, so you should understand my feelings best."

Lin Luoxia drove everyone out, "Sister, every household has no food now, and our family has none. If you want the child to survive, you should take the child with you and go dig wild vegetables quickly. It will at least last for a while."

……

the other side.

As soon as Xu Manyue pulled the old lady into the house, the old lady immediately guessed what she wanted to say and raised her hand to interrupt her.

"Okay, Third Wife, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I'm not that confused."

As long as she opens her mouth today, her daughter will definitely stay at home with a family of seven or eight people.

Especially among the seven or eight people, there were Lin Daquan, the gigolo, and the children of Lin Daquan's brothers.

If it was just her daughter, perhaps she wouldn't be so cruel, but there were too many people, and she didn't even care about her grandchildren.

Xu Manyue breathed a sigh of relief and turned to talk about another matter.

"Mom, there's water in the well in the old house. I threw a small stone in, and judging by the sound of the water, there's still quite a bit of water. At least, we don't have to worry about the water problem for now."

Tears welled up in the old lady's eyes. "It's really the blessing of our ancestors."

There is basically not much water left in the entire Qingshan Brigade. The Shen family is lucky because there is still water in the well in the old house.

Xu Manyue also had mixed emotions. This was indeed the blessing from her ancestors.

Speaking of which, there should be a few abandoned wells in the brigade. I wonder if there is water in those abandoned wells?

But if there is water, it will be discovered quickly.

At this time, there were shouts and knocks on the door outside the house.

"Mom, my second sister-in-law wants to drive me away. You can't just ignore me. This is my home. Even if I get married, I will still be surnamed Shen and I will still be your daughter."

"I really have no other choice, so I come to you to beg you to give the children a bite to eat."

"Even the wild vegetables around here have been picked up. You can't just watch me, your daughter, and the children starve to death here."

The old lady's eyes turned red instantly, but no tears fell. She resisted the urge to open the door.

He just turned his back to the door and spoke slowly.

"Lan Fang, don't come here again..."

"Mother can't take care of you right now, let alone all your children. You think about your children, and I have to think about mine too. Neither you nor I can...can we be so selfish..."

"Mother, she's not just your mother..."

Xu Manyue stood by and supported the old lady. She could clearly feel that her whole body was shaking violently. Her bloodless lips trembled as she finished her words bit by bit.

outside the house.

Sister Shen's face turned pale when she heard these words. She banged on the door frantically, "No, mother, you can't do this. I am also your child, the child you carried for ten months and gave birth to."

"In this world, you're the only one who can help me. You can't just watch me starve to death..."

Behind her, the children she brought with her also gathered around her and cried, "Mom, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry..."

"Mom, am I starving to death?"

"Mom, I need to eat. I haven't grown up yet. I don't want to die..."

The crying of five or six children rang out one after another, which was heartbreaking.

Lin Luoxia couldn't pull it away, and in the end she could only listen to these people crying and begging in the yard.

Shen Baozhu ran out of the house when she heard the noise. She hugged Lin Luoxia's thighs, blinking her big eyes, a little puzzled, "Mom, why are they crying?"

Lin Luoxia's face changed slightly, and she quickly bent down and carried her into the house. "Baozhu, stay in the house obediently and ignore the noise outside. Mother will protect you. Just be good."

As long as she is around, she will never let her daughter cry and beg for food like those other children outside.

Lin Luoxia's heart, which had been somewhat reluctant, became firm at this moment, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

If someone had to be sacrificed, it would be the children outside, not her daughter.

inside the house.

Listening to the miserable cries of Sister Shen and the children outside, Xu Manyue stayed quietly by the old lady's side, silently comforting her.

The old lady seemed to have all her strength drained away. She collapsed powerlessly in Xu Manyue's arms, staring at the beams in a daze.

The two of them said nothing, and the whole house was eerily silent.

After an unknown amount of time, the noise outside gradually faded away.

Xu Manyue quickly realized that something was wrong. She slowly helped the person lie down on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Wait for her to open the door and take a look.

There was no one in the yard anymore, and it was as if Sister Shen and the children had never been there.

Xu Manyue looked around and found Lin Luoxia mending clothes in the corner of the yard.

Suddenly, everything seemed to go back to the second day after she got married.

At that time, when she met Lin Luoxia for the first time, she also lowered her head quietly and mended clothes.

"Second sister-in-law, are my elder sister and the others gone?"

Xu Manyue walked over, feeling somewhat confused. Judging from Sister Shen's personality today, she was definitely not someone who would give up easily. Why did she leave?

Lin Luoxia paused while mending clothes, "Well, let's go."

She chased him away herself, and he probably won't come back again.

Xu Manyue originally wanted to ask how she got Sister Shen and the others away, but then she thought, since everyone had left, there was no need to ask.

She turned her head to look at the bare earthen slope and quickly changed the subject.

"Second sister-in-law, do you think we can successfully survive this famine?"

Lin Luoxia put down the needle and thread in her hand and said, "Maybe."

Or maybe not, but no matter what, her child must survive.

Suddenly, Lin Luoxia's gaze inadvertently fell on Xu Manyue's belly, "Third sister-in-law, do you think you are pregnant?"

Xu Manyi was stunned for a moment. This was the first person besides the old lady to ask her about this.

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Lin Luoxia nodded and said nothing more.

pretty good.

When resting at night.

Lin Luoxia held her daughter in her arms, patted her back gently, and asked softly, "Baozhu, do you like Third Aunt?"
