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

Some time ago, the family was really out of food and my grandson was almost dying.

The entire Yang family was extremely anxious. In the end, the captain's wife had no choice but to take her child to the warehouse to find her husband.

Her husband was the team leader and was in charge of the warehouse. She thought that no matter what, he could get some life-saving food.

But he refused to agree and drove them all back with a cold face, saying that no one was allowed to touch the last bit of grain left for seeds in the warehouse, and whoever touched it would be fighting him to death.

The captain's wife held her dying grandson in her arms, she was so angry and anxious, and kept begging him to turn a blind eye.

Save your own grandson.

The captain was so cruel that he still refused to agree even though he saw the child was almost dead.

He simply took out a steamed bun made of wild vegetables from his pocket and secretly stuffed it into her hand.

Only then did she realize that Man Yue had given her husband two wild vegetable steamed buns, one of which he gave to his grandson, saving the child's life.

Another man supported her and lived a few more days, otherwise he would not have survived until now.

The captain's wife trembled as she held Xu Manyue's hand. "Manyue, thank you, Auntie. Your kindness is really too great..."

"From now on, you will be the benefactor of our Yang family."

At a time like this when people are starving to death, two steamed buns are very important. They can save lives and are more precious than money.

The fact that they are willing to give it out is enough to prove that they are kind.

After hearing this, Xu Manyue felt a little complicated. Although she thought about the two steamed buns, the team leader might not finish them.

But no one expected that he would give away half of his rations, and relying on his perseverance and faith, he stayed at the warehouse door for a whole month.

She held the captain's wife's hand and comforted her softly, "Aunt, when Uncle Yang was here, he helped me more than once. It's my duty to help him when I have the ability."

"It's not a matter of thanking or not. Uncle Yang is the good captain of our Qingshan Brigade. He's devoted to the members, and we are all very grateful to him. Many people came to visit him today."

"This shows that we have seen and remembered Uncle Yang's dedication to us all over the years."

The captain's wife raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but her eyes were blurred by tears again in an instant.

"Yes, you are right. That's why I was willing to marry him."

"He has always stayed true to his original aspiration and has always dedicated himself to everyone. I should be proud of him and happy for him."

Xu Manyue sighed, took out a handkerchief from her body, and gently wiped away the tears of the captain's wife.

"Aunt, if you want to cry, just cry. Have a good cry today, and you will live a good life in the future."

"If Uncle Yang were still alive, he wouldn't want you to be sad because of him."

She had heard before that when Uncle Yang was young, he was an orphan who grew up eating at other people's homes and survived on the help of villagers.

When he grew up, he wanted to join the army to fight the Japanese and protect the villagers who raised him.

Unfortunately, his health was not good enough to join the army.

But even so, he did not give up the idea of repaying the villagers. When he was young, he traveled around, learned some skills and gained a lot of experience. Later, he came back and made many contributions to the village.

When the team leader was finally elected, the entire village voted for him.

He did not disappoint everyone. Qingshan Brigade has always been the richest brigade among the nearby brigades.

During this great famine, people from several neighboring brigades either died or fled, and the entire brigades were almost empty.

Only their Qingshan Brigade had the fewest people who died of starvation, and the canteen was the one that lasted until the end.

It’s a pity that Uncle Yang passed away before he was even fifty years old.

In fact, Xu Manyue had thought about secretly taking out food to save him more than once.

But the captain is not the kind of person who eats alone. He will definitely give the food to others and only keep a small portion for himself.

She couldn't save him at all by doing this, and it was very likely that she would expose herself and arouse suspicion from others.

The weather is hot now, and the body can't be left there for long.

The Yang family discussed it and decided to bury the body tomorrow morning.

After Xu Manyue left the captain's wife, she found the Shen family and their group. She stepped forward and supported the old lady.

"Mom, it's getting late, let's go back."

The old lady took one last look at the thin coffin under the simple mourning hall, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and nodded, "Let's go."

"Third sister-in-law, look, the Xu family is here too, but why is Xu Mingyue nowhere to be seen?"

Mrs. Shen moved closer to Xu Manyue, looked at the Xu family members in the crowd, and whispered.

Xu Manyue subconsciously looked up and saw that it was indeed a member of the Xu family.

Except for Xu Mingyue who was pregnant, almost everyone was there.

Among them, Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu couldn't help but tear up when they looked at the captain's coffin.

Compared with the Xu family before the cafeteria was disbanded, they now seem to be having a very hard time. One or two of them have already become pale and skinny from hunger.

Even Xu Shanping's whole body was swollen, his face was ashen, and his whole body looked like a swollen dough. It was obvious that he had edema.

Tian Lanfang was not in much better condition. Although her condition was not as serious as Xu Shan's, she was so thin that only skin was left covering her bones, like a skeleton, which looked very scary.

Xu Manyue was stunned and almost didn't recognize the two people.

She still hasn't forgotten the way Tian Lanfang pinched her palm on the first day of her rebirth.

It had only been a few months, and now this person probably didn't even have the energy to scold her, let alone strangle her.

In comparison, Xu Mingyue, who came to the door yesterday, looked much better than the people in the Xu family.

Could it be that Xu Shanping and Tian Lanfang saved all their food rations for Xu Mingyue and the baby in her belly?

Mrs. Shen continued to whisper in Xu Manyue's ear, "Third sister-in-law, you didn't see it. When we came out just now, your former brother, Xu Xiangbei, was also there."

"But as soon as he saw you coming out, he immediately lowered his head and hid behind others, as if he was afraid of being seen by you."

"I guess he doesn't want you to see how miserable and miserable he is right now. He's afraid of losing face in front of you."

Xu Manyue glanced at the Xu family members in the crowd again, and sure enough, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure behind one person.

The reason why she was familiar with him was because Xu Xiangshan had been closest to her since childhood and had the best relationship with her. At that time, she really liked this brother.

But later Xu Mingyue came from the city.

Gradually, everyone's eyes fell on her and they liked her more and more.

I became a invisible person in the family and gradually became unwelcome.
