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

Xu Manyue nodded.

With the faint moonlight, she could see more clearly the old man guarding the warehouse. His lips were cracked and pale, his face was deathly blue, and his whole body was so thin that he was almost skin and bones.

Only those eyes remained firm, like stars in the night, bright and resolute.

Xu Manyue was silent for a moment, "Uncle Yang, you should have someone else guard the warehouse tomorrow. You're not going to be able to stand guarding here alone for too long."

The captain was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, your uncle Yang's body can handle it. When I was young, I helped fight the Japanese. Now I'm just guarding a warehouse, and I can hold it."

Listening to him say these words weakly, Xu Manyue felt depressed and uncomfortable.

She still had some impression of Uncle Yang when he was young, but how come more than ten years had passed and he had grown old? He was only in his forties now.

"Uncle Yang, this is for you."

In the end, Xu Manyue took out a paper bag from the vegetable basket she carried with her and put it in the captain's arms.

Then quickly ride your bike away from here.

Behind him, the captain lowered his head and squeezed the paper bag; it was soft.

His pupils suddenly constricted and he quickly opened the paper bag, revealing two steamed buns filled with wild vegetables.

This... this is actually food."

The captain quickly stood up and tried to catch up, but Xu Manyue was nowhere to be seen.

He sat down again and instantly realized that Man Yue had come here specifically to bring him food.

In the dark night, a drop of turbid and hot old tear rolled down from the corner of the eye and hit the black wild vegetable steamed bun.

Xu Manyue rode her bike quickly and returned to the Shen family soon.

Those two steamed buns were the cheapest rations she exchanged for in the system mall using two transformation points.

To be honest, these two steamed buns could not save the captain's life, they could only help him live a few more days.

I just parked my bike and went into the house. Everyone except the old lady went to rest.

Xu Manyue lifted the gray cloth on the vegetable basket and took out the steamed bread inside. "Mom, this is the steamed bread I bought today. I spent two kilograms of food coupons and two cents."

After putting the steamed bread down, she took out another fifteen yuan from her pocket and said, "This is the money I took back and the money from selling eggs. Count it, a total of fifteen yuan and fifty cents."

"I spent twenty cents on the steamed bread, and here are fifteen yuan and thirty cents in total."

The money for the eggs was given to the old lady according to the price of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Xu Manyue did not intend to tell the old lady about Lu Ming, but as the eldest and second eldest Shen had come into contact with Lu Ming, she still had to tell him.

The old lady borrowed the money and put it directly into her pocket without even looking at it. "No need to count it, mother believes you."

"Among my three daughters-in-law, I trust you the most."

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and smiled, "In this family, I rely on my mother the most."

After hearing these words, the old lady was instantly coaxed into a smile, "In the whole family, except for your eldest sister, you are the best at making me happy."

Suddenly, she realized that she had mentioned someone she hadn't mentioned for a long time. The smile on her face gradually faded, and with red eyes, she looked up and looked out the window.

"Third daughter-in-law, tell me, your eldest sister...how is she now..."

She was so heartless last time, I wonder whether her eldest daughter is dead or alive now?

Xu Manyue looked at the old lady like this and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Sister Shen has always depended on her mother's family for survival. It was fine before because the brigade had a canteen.

Now that the canteen has been disbanded and the wild vegetables around are gone, how good can things be for her and Lin Daquan, who are taking care of five or six children?

Maybe it won’t be long before the person is gone.

The old lady knew it in her heart, but after all, she was her biological daughter, and she hoped for her well.

Thinking about how she raised her daughter to be cunning and cunning but not smart when she was young, she finally regretted it at this moment.

Soon, it was Xu Manyue's turn to make lunch.

The Shen family only had one meal a day, and the ration of food for that meal consisted of only a small bowl of cornmeal and a small dish of pickles.

Xu Manyue has a copy of the house key, so the old lady doesn't need to prepare food in advance, she can go to the old lady's house to get food by herself.

Ever since they discovered a lot of water in the well in the old house, the three brothers of the Shen family would carry a few buckets of water back from the old house every night, and water was no longer as scarce at home as before.

Soon, half a pot of cornmeal porridge was ready. It’s not quite right to call it porridge, as most of it was soup, and the rest was cornmeal.

To be honest, this amount of food is not enough to fill the stomachs of the nine people in the Shen family.

But there is only so much food at home, and there is still a long way to go, so we have to plan every meal carefully.

Once the sweet potatoes on the mountain are planted and rabbits are raised, life will probably be better.

Xu Manyue looked at the half pot of stuff, which was basically all water.

She sighed, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the kitchen, she spent a transformation value from the system mall, bought a handful of wild vegetables, washed and chopped them, and threw them into the pot.

After boiling it and stirring it a few times, it finally looked less watery.

Xu Manyue brought out the prepared food, placed it on the dining table, and called everyone over to eat.

When Shen Jianping saw the wild vegetable and cornmeal porridge on the table, his eyes lit up instantly and he couldn't help swallowing.

"Third sister-in-law, where did you get these wild vegetables? Aren't all the wild vegetables around here picked clean?"

Mrs. Shen also became excited. "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, where did you get it? Tell me quickly. I'll pick it with my basket after dinner."

The old lady and the others also sat down. Looking at the half-pot of thick porridge, they couldn't help but look at Xu Manyue.

Xu Manyue handed everyone a pair of chopsticks and said, "I couldn't sleep early this morning, so I went out for a walk. I didn't expect to see a small bunch of wild vegetables at the foot of a mountain."

"I brought them all back to give everyone a snack and replenish their bodies."

Shen Jianping gave a thumbs up and said, "Third sister-in-law, you are really amazing. I have been eating soups and watery dishes these past two days. My stomach can't take it anymore. I had to go to the toilet several times in one night."

"If this continues, I don't know when I will die."

The old lady slapped him on the forehead and said, "What are you talking about? I'm so old and still so energetic. Don't tell me nonsense."

Shen Jianping quickly blocked the slap with his hand, "Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop, it hurts~"

"You silly son." The old lady withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes at him.

Just finished a meal.

Shen Jianping lowered his head and said weakly, "Mom, am I really useless?"

My brothers are all working hard for this family, and my sisters-in-law are also working hard.

Even his mother, who is in her fifties, is working, but he basically just waits for food every day and waits for his family to pay for him.
