Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win
Chapter 90: The Escape from Famine Officially Begins
With her current transformation value of several thousand, she can't learn anything at all.
Xu Manyue looked at so many useful techniques and couldn't help but sigh. It would be great if she could learn all these things into her brain.
In that case, maybe I won't have to do any missions and I might be able to find a job in the city based on my skills.
But she was just thinking about it.
The most important thing now is to get some sleep. I didn’t sleep the whole night before and now I’m so sleepy.
Xu Manyue yawned and woke up from a comfortable sleep. The old lady also woke up and now cried and made a fuss, wanting to get out of bed and go to the Lin family to see Shen Lanxiang for the last time.
Lin Luoxia couldn't stop them, so she quickly called her over and helped them stop them.
"Third sister-in-law, please go and persuade mother. We really can't persuade her. No matter what we say, she won't listen and insists on going to the Lin family to see eldest sister."
"But I heard that the Lin family dumped my eldest sister's body a long time ago. I don't know where it was thrown. Even in this hot weather, she must have rotted and stank. If my mother saw it, she might be even more unbearable."
Xu Manyue was stunned. "How could the Lin family do such a thing?"
Sister Shen has been married to the Lin family for more than ten years, and for their sake, she goes to her parents' home every few days to ask for things to support the children in her husband's family.
If they had any conscience, they would not do such a thing.
This is too heartless.
Lin Luoxia's face also looked a little ugly.
"That's right, the old couple of the Lin family insisted that my eldest sister stole the last bit of food in the house and ran away. Now she died outside, she deserved it."
"They also said that if the eldest sister hadn't brought their two grandsons with her, they wouldn't have died outside."
"What's even more outrageous is that they also said that a woman like my eldest sister is not worthy of being buried in the Lin family's ancestral tomb, let alone being their daughter-in-law."
After listening to this, Xu Manyue was silent for a moment.
Although she knew that in such a severe famine, Sister Shen would soon die outside without the help of the Shen family, she still did not expect that Sister Shen's death would come so soon.
It had only been five or six days since she had last returned to her parents' home and begged the old lady.
Seeing that Xu Manyue hadn't said anything yet, Lin Luoxia stepped forward and held her hand. "Now is not the time to think about these things. It's more important to persuade the old lady. It's really not suitable for her to see the eldest sister's current state with her own eyes."
Xu Manyue finally came to her senses, nodded, and walked towards the old lady's room.
"I gonna go see."
Yesterday, the old lady was very upset when she learned that Sister Shen and her five or six-year-old child starved to death while fleeing famine.
She took medicine again last night and is still weak, so she really can't get excited again.
Xu Manyue just pushed the door open.
There were a bunch of people inside stopping the old lady from going out.
The old lady's eyes were red and tears couldn't stop falling. She pushed Shen Laoer who was blocking her way, trying to push him away.
"Second brother, Lanxiang is your biological sister. She was the one who protected you and the third brother with her life when the Japanese invaded the village."
"How could you bear to see her suffer this fate?"
Shen Lao Er still stood in front of the old lady and sighed, "Mom, I know, I know all this, so I turned a blind eye to her coming to our house to steal things for so many years and going back to support the Lin family."
Otherwise, with his personality, he would never allow others to take advantage of him.
The old lady cried even harder and beat his arm hard.
"That's a life! It's the life of your sister, born of the same mother. I gave up my own daughter for this family, and you wouldn't even let me see her one last time..."
"You are so cruel."
Boss Shen stepped forward and gently patted the old lady on the back. "Mom, we are doing this for your own good. The weather is hot now, and Lanxiang was buried last night. If you go there now, you will be heartbroken and can do nothing but make her sad."
"If Lanxiang were still alive, she wouldn't want you to be sad because of her."
Mrs. Shen also tried to persuade her, "Mother, we all know you're blaming yourself, but the famine is so severe now. Even if you hadn't driven Lanxiang out, given the temperament of those people in the Lin family, they would have come to rely on our family sooner or later."
"By then, we'll all starve to death."
The old lady couldn't stop crying. Before she knew it, her hair had turned a lot whiter and she looked ten years older overnight.
It's not that she doesn't understand these principles, but she just wants to see her biological daughter for the last time and make up for what she owes her.
But they didn't even agree to this small request.
Lanxiang is their elder sister, how can they be so cruel?
Xu Manyue stood aside, waiting for everyone to persuade her one by one, then she stepped forward and supported the old lady.
"Mom, if you want to see my eldest sister for the last time, you have to take care of your own body first. After all, my eldest sister has been buried."
"You are still the one who takes charge of our family. You can't afford to get into trouble at this critical moment."
"You don't know, you fainted from crying last night and had a high fever that night. My eldest brother and second brother stayed here, and the whole family stayed up all night, worried that something might happen to you."
"Even if you don't think about your own health, you should think about your eldest brother and the other brothers. You are so weak now. If something really happens to you, what will happen to them and our family?"
Seeing that the old lady was touched, Shen Lao Da, Shen Lao Er, and Shen Jianping strode forward, took the old lady's hand, and their eyes were red.
"Yes, mother, you have worked so hard to raise us brothers since we were young. We haven't had the chance to honor you yet. If something happens to you, what will we do? What will the third brother do who is still in the army defending our country?"
"Even if you don't think about us, you should think about the third brother. He hasn't come back to see you for so many years. Do you have the heart to let him have regrets?"
The old lady slowly closed her eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Okay, I won't go today. In a few days, when I'm well again and can get out of bed, I'll go to Lanxiang's grave to visit her in person..."
After these words were spoken, everyone in the Shen family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They all looked at Xu Manyue with gratitude and praise.
In this family, only the third daughter-in-law can persuade the mother.
Xu Manyue pursed her lips, feeling a little complicated.
It was not that she could persuade the old lady. In fact, in the old lady's heart, several living sons were more important.
She must have known in her heart that there must be a reason why so many people stopped her from going, and it was all for her own good.
The old lady turned over and lay on the bed, waving to everyone standing in the room, "You all go out, I am tired and want to rest."
"The third daughter-in-law just needs to stay and talk to me."
