Just as it was about to get completely dark, Boss Shen and his men took their weapons and were about to attack the Xu family.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Xu Manyue knew who the visitor was just by listening to the voice.

She stood up and walked towards the gate.

"Brother, brother, someone is coming. I'll go open the door."

Boss Shen and his men nodded, but just in case, fearing that Xu Mingyue would bring people to their house, they still followed Xu Manyue closely with sticks in hand.

As soon as the door opens.

Only Xu Mingyue came over. When she saw Xu Manyue followed by several burly men with cold faces and sticks in their hands.

Her heart almost jumped out of her chest, she shuddered all over, and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Money... I've already brought the money. I won't tell anyone about your secret storage of food. From now on, we'll just pretend that this never happened."

She really regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would not have provoked these crazy people from the Shen family.

Xu Manyue nodded. "As long as you don't provoke us, we don't want to embarrass you."

"But if you play tricks on us and try to spread some rumors to plot against our Shen family, some things may be unpredictable."

Xu Mingyue wanted to say something, but when she saw the thick stick in Boss Shen's hand, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her throat.

He quickly gritted his teeth and took out a handful of money from his pocket and handed it to Xu Manyue, "You count it. If everything is ok, I'll leave first."

This money was hard-earned. If she wasn't really afraid of the people in the Shen family, she would never do this.

Xu Manyue took the money and counted it. There were both banknotes and coins.

One cent at a time, one dime, two dimes... the largest denomination was only two yuan.

Although it was a bit messy, it was indeed ten dollars, not a penny less.

Nowadays, a steamed bun costs two cents each, and ten yuan is a huge sum of money in the countryside. I don’t know where Xu Mingyue got it from.

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "The money is right."

After hearing this, Xu Mingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Boss Shen came out with a stick in his hand, stopped the man, and said coldly, "Wait, you can't leave now."

"We have something to ask you carefully. If you don't answer truthfully, don't blame us for turning our backs on you."

Xu Mingyue's body stiffened, and she instantly guessed the other party's purpose in calling her.

But dreams that predict the future are not something that can be easily told. What if someone finds out and takes her away?

Boss Shen snorted coldly, "Tell us honestly, where did you get the rumor that our Shen family is secretly hiding grain?"

"If this matter cannot be explained clearly, we will not knock on the door of your Xu family, but it is hard to say about the Lu family."

The Lu family was already dissatisfied with Xu Mingyue.

At this time of severe famine, they didn't want to let her in, and were even cruel enough to not want the child in her belly.

Lu Huaiyuan acquiesced to the Lu family's approach. Even though Xu Mingyue came to him again and again with a big belly, he basically refused to see her and even asked Lu's mother to kick her out.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to the Shen family's door and used the fact that the Shen family secretly hid grain to threaten Xu Manyue to help her.

Xu Mingyue regretted it to the extreme at this moment, and her whole body couldn't help but feel cold.

"I...I just heard it from someone."

Boss Shen pointed the stick in his hand at Mingyue's bulging belly and sneered, "Ask yourself, do you believe this?"

Shen Lao Er also walked up to her and looked her up and down. "We are not fools. We all know what you are planning."

"But there is one thing you have to know. Now the third sister-in-law is no longer your Xu family, but our Shen family. Whether you are targeting her or our Shen family."

"You are always against us brothers."

After saying that, he glanced at Xu Mingyue, whose face was pale, and turned to talk to Mr. Shen.

"Brother, let her go back for now. If she dares to go out and talk nonsense, I have plenty of ways to make all those who plotted against our Shen family live a life worse than death."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Mingyue's pupils shrank slightly and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

If Boss Shen's methods are open, then Boss Shen's methods are covert and will definitely make people's lives worse than death.

Xu Manyue stood aside, silently observing Xu Mingyue's expression.

At first, she suspected that she was reborn, but after thinking about it carefully, Xu Mingyue did not look like a reborn person.

If she was reborn, why didn't she remind the Xu family that the cafeteria would be disbanded, and didn't she tell the Xu family that the famine would become more and more serious?

Another point is that Xu Mingyue actually dared to climb into a man's bed and bear his child during a famine that could kill people. If she was really reborn, wouldn't she be afraid of dying of starvation in the famine while pregnant?

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Manyue decided to observe for a while.

She stood up and said, "Brother, second brother is right, let her go back first."

After hearing what the two of them said, Boss Shen glanced at Xu Mingyue coldly, "Why don't you just leave quickly? What are you standing there for? Do you really want me to send you off?"

Xu Mingyue nodded quickly, "I'll leave right away, right away."

She didn't care anymore and turned around and crawled away.

The Shen family is a bunch of lunatics. Coming to threaten Xu Manyue yesterday was the worst thing she had ever done.

But why are they so nice to Xu Manyue and protect her everywhere? She just picked up things she didn't want, so why should she live better than her?

Even Lu Huaiyuan, the man she drugged and snatched away from her, was still obsessed with her.

In the dark night, running on the way home.

The more Xu Mingyue thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and the hatred in her heart grew wildly.

The huge sense of gap was like a surging wave that almost drowned her.

She was distracted for a moment and accidentally tripped over a stone, almost falling to the ground.

Xu Mingyue's face turned pale instantly, and she subconsciously protected her stomach.

No, no, her child...

Fortunately, someone supported her in time at the critical moment.

At the same time, the man's icy warning sounded.

"Xu Mingyue, did I ever tell you not to cause trouble for her?"

He and she already owed Man Yue a lot, so why didn't this man let her go and kept looking for trouble with her?

Xu Mingyue had just breathed a sigh of relief for the baby in her belly when she heard Lu Huaiyuan's cold voice.

She felt a pang of sadness, depression and discomfort in her heart, and she didn't know when her tears started to flow uncontrollably.

"Is it true...that in your heart, there is only one Xu Manyue?"

"What about me? What do I, the woman who is pregnant with your child, mean to you?"
