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

Chapter 281 1 cent

Lin Luoxia nodded, "That's right, this person is married, and has nothing to do with us anymore."

In fact, she didn't plan to do anything about it. Some of the family matters in the team were difficult to manage. After all, they were other people's family affairs, and it would be wrong for an outsider to interfere.

It would be better to just go through the motions and try to suppress the matter, or let them handle it themselves.

Hearing these words, Xu Manyue suddenly thought of Xu Xiangyang who had returned.

This man said that he came back to look for Tian Lanfang and Xu Xiangbei, but he knew clearly that these two people had been separated from him while fleeing from the famine.

If he was looking for someone, he should have gone to the place where they separated, so why did he come back again?

Xu Manyue didn't think about herself, because even if they didn't like Xu Mingyue anymore, she didn't feel that she had any weight in their hearts.

Right after finishing their meal, the old lady, the two brothers of the Shen family and Shen Xiaoshan went to work. Although the grain had been harvested, the corn had not been threshed or dried yet, and the tax had not been paid.

The team leader said that while the weather is still good, we should try our best to dry the grain and pay the public tax so that everyone can get the grain sooner.

Therefore, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Lin Luoxia didn't go to work because of the Lu family's affairs. After all, it wasn't the busy farming season, so she wasn't needed.

Therefore, only Xu Manyue and Shen Dasao were left at home. As for Shen Qingqing and Shen Baozhu, they had already gone to school.

When Shen Qingqing was in junior high school, she basically lived in school and only came back once a week. She also ate at school, which was a considerable expense, but she was very frugal and hardworking.

There are two kinds of steamed buns in the school, wild vegetable steamed buns and cornmeal steamed buns; there are also two kinds of porridge, wild vegetable porridge and cornmeal porridge.

Others alternate between cornmeal and wild vegetables, and there is always one dry meal a day.

Only she spent only one cent a day and drank two bowls of thin wild vegetable soup, at noon and at night. She called it wild vegetable porridge, but in fact it was no different from wild vegetable soup. It was like drinking water and did not relieve hunger at all.

It only costs thirty cents a month.

Her family gave her 50 cents a month for living expenses, and she would have 20 cents left over, but Shen Qingqing didn't tell her family about this.

Because her family has already spent a lot of money on her education, if she is admitted to a technical secondary school in the future, it will inevitably cost more money, so every penny saved is a penny earned.

She really couldn't bear to spend the money on food, even though... she was really hungry, so hungry that her eyes were full of stars.

The autumn weather is really nice and the sun is shining.

After everyone went out, Xu Manyue took out the quilt in her room to dry in the sun.

The weather will soon get colder and winter will come. It will be better to keep warm if this quilt is exposed to the sun.

Suddenly, the baby in her belly kicked her. Xu Manyue stopped drying the quilt and subconsciously looked at her belly.

Sure enough, the child started moving again, and a small bulge appeared very clearly on her belly. She kicked a small bulge here, and then in another place.

It didn't hurt, but Xu Manyue could clearly feel the movement of the baby in her belly, as if trying to attract her attention and ask her to play with it.

Although I had fetal movements before, they had never been this loud.

Xu Manyue touched the small bulge on her belly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyebrows softened.

In two or three months, the baby will be born.

She has already prepared small clothes, quilts, diapers and other necessary things for the child.

Everything just waits for the baby to be born.

Xu Manyue touched her belly from time to time and began to think carefully to see if she had missed anything.

Suddenly, she stopped and remembered that the child's crib was not prepared.

Although most children sleep in bed with adults, it is inevitable that adults will turn over at night, and it would be bad if they crush the children.

Xu Manyue thought about it and decided to talk to the old lady tonight and ask her to help find someone to make a crib for the child.

Fortunately, there is an old man named Ge in the team who knows this skill, otherwise this matter would be difficult to handle.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Mrs. Shen, who was feeding the pigs, walked over to open the door impatiently and asked, "Who is it?"

At this time, everyone is either at work or has other things to do. It wouldn't be some poor relative who comes to ask for money again.

Thinking about the last time Shen Minghua got stuck in their house, she now hated people knocking on the door more and more, fearing that it would be another big trouble.

Xu Manyue supported her heavy waist and looked towards the door. Just as she withdrew her gaze and was about to go back to the house to take out the cotton clothes to dry.

But he was stopped by a familiar voice.

"Man Yue, I'll bring your sister-in-law to see you."

"This is your sister. She looks a bit like you and is quite pretty."

"But she's almost seven months pregnant, right?" A woman in her thirties, about the same age as Mrs. Shen, looked at Xu Manyue.

Xu Manyue looked up and saw Xu Xiangyang, whom she hadn't seen for almost a year, and the woman beside him.

She was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, it wasn't surprising.

Mrs. Shen was also shocked by the two men, especially when she saw Xu Xiangyang's wife.

Seeing that he looked similar to his mother, she quickly ran to Xu Manyue and whispered in her ear.

"You said...you said this person...ah, I'm embarrassed to say it, forget it, forget it, I'd better not say it."

Who wants to marry a wife, and marry a woman who can also be his mother?

This man looked a few years older than her. Look at the wrinkles on his face and his fat and short stature. The two of them standing together looked like a mother and her son. It was simply unbearable to look at them.

I guess this woman's child is about the same age as Xiaoshan.

Xu Xiangyang noticed that Mrs. Shen and Xu Manyue were looking at Duan Hongmei. He frowned slightly and continued while looking at Xu Manyue.

"This is your sister-in-law." He simply introduced her, and then introduced her to Duan Hongmei, "This is my sister's full moon."

Duan Hongmei walked up to Xu Manyue with a smile and handed the bag of peach cakes in her hand to her.

"Sister, your brother and I came here in a hurry this time and didn't prepare any gifts."

"I had no choice but to go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and bring you a bag of peach cakes. They're delicious. Try them. If you like them, I'll bring you another bag next time."

Xu Xiangyang also walked over, his eyes fell on Xu Manyue's face and belly, stayed for a moment, and quickly looked away.

"Your sister-in-law bought this especially for you, please accept it."

Xu Manyue didn't reach out to take the bag of peach cakes. She shook her head and said, "No, you guys can go now."

Xu Xiangyang is no longer her brother. Her brothers are her two cousins from her second uncle's family.
