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

Of course, the ones who made the greatest contribution to the family today are naturally the two brothers Shen Lao Da and Shen Lao Er.

It is really difficult for ordinary people to go up the mountain. If they are not careful, they may lose their lives. This is why not many people dare to go up the mountain even when there is a famine.

The old lady gave each of them a bowl of egg soup and cornmeal porridge.

According to past experience, the next should be the old lady's eldest son and eldest grandson.

But today, the old lady actually ignored them both and placed half a bowl of egg soup in front of Xu Manyue.

"The third daughter-in-law worked hard. She planted sweet potatoes, raised rabbits, and bought food on the black market. These ideas were all proposed by her."

She glanced at everyone present and paused, "I hope you have no objection to my division this way."

Mrs. Shen was about to open her mouth to complain that it was unfair, but she reluctantly shut her mouth.

Shen Jianping shook his head. "Mom, this is what Third Sister-in-law deserves. I have no objection."

He is basically a drag on this family, so how can he have any opinion?

Shen Xiaoshan nodded, "Fourth Uncle is right, Grandma, I support your approach."

In other people's families, a fourteen-year-old boy starts working early. Because his grandmother loves him, he basically has never done any work, so he naturally eats less.

Others had no objections either.

Xu Manyue didn't expect that she would become the person who received the most food rations besides the two strong laborers in the family.

Although she was not hungry, she was still very happy.

"Thank you, mother."

The old lady waved her hands and said, "Why thank you? This is what you deserve."

Soon, she distributed the remaining egg soup and cornmeal porridge one by one.

Mrs. Shen looked at everyone's bowl, then looked at her own bowl, and instantly felt a little dissatisfied.

"Mom, I'm still pregnant. The rations you gave me are too little."

The old lady gave her an impatient look and said, "If you want to eat, eat it. If you don't want to eat, get out of here."

"You're the one who has the most to do in the whole family. Haven't you seen Qingqing and Baozhu? Their rations are almost the same as yours."

Boss Shen tugged at Mrs. Shen's sleeve and warned coldly, "Try and make another noise, and I'll beat you to death!"

As expected, there is always a way out, and Mrs. Shen didn't dare to make a sound anymore.

After everyone finished their meal, the old lady explained everything again.

"Eldest wife, second wife, these two rabbits are now in your care. You must not relax and feed them every day. Try to get them to give birth soon so that everyone can have meat to eat."

"And the most important thing is, don't let anyone find out."

The two nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Mom, we know how serious the situation is."

This is a matter of great importance to the whole family and whether they can survive. How can we treat it carelessly?

Even Mrs. Shen, who was always sneaky and cunning, swore silently in her heart that she must raise the rabbit well.

After the old lady finished explaining everything, she waved her hand and told everyone to go back and rest.

Just as Xu Manyue was about to go back to the house, someone hugged her thigh. She looked down and saw that it was Shen Baozhu, the daughter of Shen Laoer and Lin Luoxia.

Shen Baozhu blinked and looked up at her, "Auntie, can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Baozhu, where are your parents?"

"Auntie, can I take you to find your parents?

Xu Manyue did not answer her question, but looked around and saw no one.

Didn’t Lin Luoxia notice that the child was missing?

Shen Baozhu curled her lips and said, "They asked me to sleep alone, but I didn't want to sleep alone, so I ran away."

Xu Manyue didn't know what to say for a moment.

But she also doesn't want to take care of the child.

So she squatted down and touched Shen Baozhu's face, "Baozhu is five years old this year. She is a big child. Baozhu should sleep alone. That way she will be a good and sensible child."

"Auntie will take you back now to find your parents, okay?"

Shen Baozhu was a little confused, but when she heard her aunt praising her for being well-behaved and sensible, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Yes, Baozhu is a good child. Baozhu can sleep alone."

Xu Manyue finally breathed a sigh of relief and brought Shen Baozhu to the door of Shen Laoer and Lin Luoxia's room and knocked gently.

"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I brought the pearl over."

In less than a moment, the door opened.

When Lin Luoxia saw the child, she quickly thanked Xu Manyue, "Sister-in-law, thank you for sending Baozhu back this time. I thought she had gone to bed early and didn't think much about it."

"I just realized the child is missing and was about to go out to look for him when you happened to bring him back."

Xu Manyue waved her hand, "It's nothing. Sister-in-law, you guys take a rest first. I'm going back."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Lin Luoxia hugged Shen Baozhu, "Baozhu, talk to your aunt more often in the future and treat her like your mother, okay?"

It’s never wrong to cultivate more feelings.

This is all she can do at the moment.

Shen Baozhu was a little confused, but still nodded.

The sky is getting darker.

Xu family.

Tian Lanfang looked at the table, which contained only a small bowl of watery soup. She wiped away her tears and said, "Mom, can you tell me the truth? How much food do we have left at home?"

Before the canteen was disbanded, at least we could still eat wild vegetable soup. Now, the canteen has not been disbanded for a few days, and I can hardly even drink wild vegetable soup at home.

It’s okay for her to go hungry for a few meals, but poor Mingyue has a baby in her belly, how can she survive without food?

Someone asked, and everyone in the Xu family looked at Old Lady Xu.

The family's food rations are all kept by her and Old Man Xu, and no one else knows what else is in the house.

Xu Mingyue touched her belly, her eyes slightly red. "Yes, grandma, how much food do we have left? We can't go on like this. This famine will definitely not end in a short time. We have to make plans early."

In her dream, she only knew Xu Manyue. After she married Lu Huaiyuan, she basically never went hungry and even became the wife of the richest man.

But why, when it came to her, Lu Huaiyuan not only delayed marrying her, but also repeatedly warned her not to cause trouble for Xu Manyue. Once he found out, he would never let her off easily.

Obviously, at the beginning, almost everything was consistent with the dream.

From the Xu family's favoritism towards her, asking Xu Manyue to marry in her place, to Xu Manyue severing ties with her family, basically the direction of everything was the same as in her dream.

The only difference is that in the dream, she did not want to see the Xu family embarrassed, so she finally chose to marry Shen Jingming.

After Xu Manyue broke off relations with her family, she married Lu Huaiyuan directly.

From then on, the lives of the two people changed completely.

The famine became more and more severe, and all the members of the Xu family starved to death in the famine. She completely lost her natal family and her support.

Three years after her marriage, the Shen family abandoned her. After Shen Jingming came back, he divorced her.
