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

Chapter 145 Causing trouble

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes and sneered while eating sweet potatoes, "Fourth Brother, your third brother just came back, don't bother him with these nonsense."

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, sister-in-law. You spend all day eating and sleeping. If you hadn't been born into a good family and came to our Shen family, you would have starved to death outside."

"Could you please stop causing trouble for the family?"

When Xu Manyue heard this, she immediately understood why Shen Jianping suddenly wanted to join the army.

Mrs. Shen said this in front of her and Lin Luoxia more than once, and every word she said expressed her dissatisfaction with her brother-in-law.

But to be honest, the Shen family would definitely not let Shen Jianping join the army.

It is enough to have one soldier in the family. If another one appears, and something happens in the future, the old lady will definitely not be able to bear it.

Mrs. Shen saw that everyone was silent and no one spoke, so she thought everyone thought the same.

So he cleared his throat, raised his chin and said proudly, "Old Four, don't stay at home all the time. Learn from your elder and second brothers. When they go out to fetch water, you follow them; when they work, you follow them."

"Alright, Wang Zhaodi, I'm not dead yet. My son doesn't need you, his sister-in-law, to take care of him."

The old lady's face had already turned ugly, and she slammed the table suddenly with an impatient tone.

Shen Jianping ate in silence, took a few bites, then strode out of the house, not knowing where he was going.

Boss Shen glared at Wang Zhaodi fiercely and warned in a low voice, "Hurry up and catch up with the fourth brother to apologize. I, the eldest brother, am not dead yet. How can you despise my younger brother?"

"Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death."

This damn woman, doesn't she realize that she was almost killed by the Wang family? The fourth brother went to the Wang family many times to settle accounts with those people for her.

Mrs. Shen's face turned slightly pale, and the hand holding the chopsticks subconsciously clenched, but she still said stubbornly, "I...I'm not doing this for the good of our family."

The whole family was busy, from the old lady to her two children.

Qingqing and Xiaoshan are only a few years younger than their brother-in-law, but in the past year, one of them has been doing the housework, washing clothes and cooking; the other has been going out to find firewood and feed the rabbits and chickens at home.

Who hasn’t done anything for this family?

Apart from Shen Baozhu, who was six or seven years old, only this younger brother-in-law was idle all day long. He said he would help with housework, but in fact he only worked for a day or two and then went back to sleep.

Only his mother-in-law and several men in the family spoil him.

She just didn't believe it. The second and third daughters-in-law didn't have any ideas.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen looked at Xu Manyue again and curled her lips. "Third sister-in-law, tell your second sister-in-law something. Do you think the same way?"

"I can't have all the bad reputations on my shoulders. You two should just follow me and be the good guys."

If she were to say, today the sisters-in-law should unite and give the fourth child a good lesson.

Xu Manyue sighed inwardly. After this man came out of the hospital, he stopped making trouble and treated her much better.

I didn't expect that after just a few months, he would return to his old temper.

"Sister-in-law, you should eat well. Everyone has seen the changes in Jianping these days. He has also been busy. He helped you chop the firewood this morning."

In fact, Shen Jianping has changed a lot compared to before. From time to time, he would help her chop firewood, fetch water and sweep the floor.

A small half of her transformation value these days was provided by him.

Besides, my mother-in-law is the one in charge now. If she wants to pamper her eldest son, that’s her business.

Lin Luoxia glanced at the old lady and said to Sister Shen, "Sister, I don't have any thoughts in my mind. Jianping has become much more sensible these days and has helped the family a lot. You said to his face that he eats for free. What do you think he will think when he hears it?"

Mrs. Shen's face froze and she was about to continue speaking.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Boss, take your wife back to the house and take good care of her. If she doesn't want to eat today's meal, then don't eat it."

"Mom, what do you mean? I didn't say anything wrong. Who told you to be so partial to the fourth child? We are all sons, why doesn't he have to do anything all night..."

Mrs. Shen had just said half of her words when she was dragged into the house by Boss Shen.

The next second, a series of screams rang out.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, my dear father. I just said a few words casually, please stop hitting me, it hurts..."

Xu Manyue listened to the screams coming from the room and ate the rice in her bowl in silence.

Everyone in the Shen family who had eyes knew that the old lady loved her son dearly and was reluctant to let him suffer.

The two brothers, Boss Shen, may have some opinions about their younger brother, but as long as their mother is still alive, they will not care too much about Shen Jianping.

Especially Boss Shen, he is old enough to be Shen Jianping's father.

Even though she felt uncomfortable, she still treated him as her own brother. How could she allow Mrs. Shen to bully Shen Jianping?

……

Inside the house, when Shen Jingming woke up, it was already afternoon.

He opened his eyes and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar roof, then he remembered that he was home.

The bed he was lying on was his and Xu Manyue’s wedding room.

Shen Jingming raised his hand to rub his sunburn, got up from the bed, picked up the military jacket beside him and put it on. With his bony hands, he buttoned the jacket one by one from top to bottom.

Some light and shadow coming in from the window were scattered on his superior profile. His eyebrows were deep, his figure was tall and straight. When he put on the military uniform, he instantly became introverted and sharp.

He glanced out the window, then down at his watch.

It's afternoon now, and I've slept for several hours.

Shen Jingming looked up at the furnishings in the room. This room was prepared for his wedding from the very beginning. The room was not big, only about 20 square meters.

But all kinds of objects were arranged in an orderly manner, from enamel basins to a small handkerchief, all placed in their proper places, and a plain curtain was hung on the window.

The original desk was also moved to the window. On the desk, there was a book with a red cover, a pen and a notebook.

Both the book and the notebook show signs of being frequently flipped through.

Shen Jingming strode over, picked up the book on the desk and flipped through it.

This book was the collection of quotations from great men that he had sent back before, and he also sent the notebook and pen.

From the signs of wear and tear, it can be seen that the owner of this book loves and cares for it.

Shen Jingming took the book in his hand, lowered his head, and gently stroked the cover of the book.
