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

Xu Mingyue didn't understand. She had clearly stolen Xu Manyue's man and was pregnant with his child.

Why does Lu Huaiyuan still side with Xu Manyue and doesn't even care about her and the baby in her belly?

The famine is getting worse and worse. She wakes up hungry in the middle of the night every night.

The child is already three months old, but Lu Huaiyuan still hasn't said when he will marry her.

If this continues, let alone becoming the wife of the richest man in the future, it will be difficult for her to survive now.

Tian Lanfang touched Xu Mingyue's hand distressedly, "Mingyue, did Huaiyuan say when he would marry you?"

Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu also looked at her with somewhat ugly expressions.

"Mingyue, tell me how you could have done that back then. According to the timeline, Huaiyuan was still your future brother-in-law. If you had any dignity, you shouldn't have gotten involved with him at that time."

"Now you're pregnant, but he hasn't come out to say anything, let alone say when he'll marry you."

"We asked you to abort the baby, but you refused. In this famine year, do you think it's easy to have a child?"

"We can't even afford to eat at home now. What are we going to do with you and this piece of meat in your belly?"

Xu Mingyue bit her lip, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"Grandpa, grandma, don't worry, I will definitely let Brother Huaiyuan marry me as soon as possible."

She knew that her family was doing this for her own good, fearing that her belly would get bigger and ruin her reputation.

Old Mrs. Xu sighed.

In fact, there was no food at home. Only a little cornmeal and a few sweet potatoes were left.

There is not much money left at home. In total, there are only a few dollars.

Last time we were discussing a trip to the black market, but this little money can’t buy much, and now there is no food even on the black market.

If we don’t find a solution, my whole family will probably starve to death.

They only hoped that Mingyue could marry into the Lu family as soon as possible. The Lu family was considered to be well-off in their brigade, and coupled with Lu Huaiyuan's ability, if Mingyue married into the family, perhaps they could also benefit from it.

Shen family.

Today, the letter and remittance slip sent back by Shen Jingming arrived.

The things he sent back included not only remittance slips, but also some food coupons, weighing one jin and three jin. There were several of them in total, which added up to more than ten jin.

These things were the first to reach Xu Manyue, along with a letter and package specifically for her.

Xu Manyue first opened the package, which contained a dark blue Mao suit, a few red hairbands, and a few food coupons given to her separately, totaling five kilograms.

I gave her a remittance slip, and the amount increased from ten yuan to fifteen yuan.

The remittance slip sent home also increased from ten yuan to fifteen yuan.

Xu Manyue felt warm in her heart as she touched this well-made women's Zhongshan suit.

It seems that Shen Jingming is not completely indifferent.

She opened the letter that belonged to her again. The beginning was similar to the letter the man had sent her last time, but compared to the previous alienation and indifference, this time there was a little more concern for her.

The letter mentioned a dark blue women's Zhongshan suit that he had bought at a department store near his base, but he wasn't sure if it would fit.

Shen Jingming also wrote that the things she made by hand last time looked good when she wore them.

He also asked her if she wanted to join the army. If she did, he would apply to higher authorities, but she might have to wait more than a year for housing.

During this period, many people went to join the army, and it would take a while for him to get a house.

To be honest, Xu Manyue really didn't expect that Shen Jingming would take the initiative to offer to take her with the army.

You know, Shen Jingming is a rational and utilitarian man.

In his heart, status and career come first, and everything else is secondary.

Shen Jingming was somewhat dissatisfied with his country daughter-in-law, with whom he had no feelings, but at the same time, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

As long as she doesn't drag him down, he will give her the things and respect that a wife deserves.

But she is now pale and thin, and looks malnourished. If she joins the army, she will be a hindrance to him.

Xu Manyue finished reading the letter quickly. She put the letter and the things away, then took the letter from other family members, the package and other things.

Went to the old lady's room.

"Mom, look, this is what Jingming sent back."

When the old lady saw the letter, she couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "Open it quickly."

Xu Manyue opened the letter and read it to her.

The general content was to ask the old lady how she was feeling and whether everything was okay at home.

It's not much different from the last letter.

Even so, the old lady kept wiping away her tears, "It's good to have a letter. A letter means that the third child is doing well."

Xu Manyue sighed, "Mom, Jingming sent home fifteen yuan this time, and also sent ten kilograms of food coupons. I'm going to the town tomorrow to get the money, and by the way, I'll use these food coupons to buy some steamed bread at the state-owned restaurant."

When city dwellers buy grain, they not only need money and tickets, but also a grain purchase book, and they buy a fixed amount of grain every month.

Rural people did not have grain purchase books, so even if they had money and coupons, they could not buy grain in grain stores. They could only use grain coupons to buy food in state-owned restaurants.

The old lady nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow you can take the eggs you've saved these days to the supply and marketing cooperative and exchange them for money."

"An egg costs five cents. We have ten eggs saved up, which is fifty cents. Steamed buns cost two cents each, so you can use the fifty cents to buy them. If it's not enough, you can deduct it from the money Jingming sends back."

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will take care of it."

The old lady touched her hand and said, "I am at ease with you doing the job."

Among these daughters-in-law, only the third daughter-in-law is the one she likes the most. The others are either too stupid or have too many thoughts.

Suddenly, she remembered something else.

"My third wife, since the canteen was disbanded, many people in the brigade often go to the warehouse in the middle of the night to steal food, but they are always stopped by the brigade leader who is guarding there."

"According to the time, the captain has been guarding there for several days and has not moved at all.

"Do you think there is still some food in the warehouse? Otherwise, why would the captain be guarding there all the time?"

Xu Manyue was silent for a moment. "Mom, I think there is no food in the warehouse. The captain is guarding there just to have seeds to plant in the fields next year."

“If the seeds are gone, then everything is gone.”

In the previous life, everyone thought the same as the old lady.

Even though the team leader repeatedly said that there were only some seeds for planting in the warehouse, it still couldn't stop some people's desire to survive.

At the beginning, everyone was afraid to act rashly because of the captain.

But when the team leader died at the door of the warehouse after guarding it for half a month, all the seeds in the warehouse were looted by a group of people that night.

Even the corn seedlings that had grown in the field were secretly pulled out in the middle of the night by the hungry people.

The old lady thought about it carefully and found that it made some sense.

She couldn't help but sigh, "The captain is a rare good official. I, Wang Wanhua, have rarely admired someone in my life, and he is one of them."

Thinking that the captain would die in half a month, Xu Manyue felt depressed and indescribably uncomfortable.
