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

Chapter 278 Xu Xiangyang Returns

After a moment's silence, the old lady asked again, "You are indeed this person. Are you sure you won't regret it?"

If she insisted on making this choice, then they had no reason not to let her marry him.

Shen Minghua pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes, I'm sure it's him."

The old lady waved her hand and simply didn't look at her. "Okay, in that case, there's no need to wait for the day after tomorrow. Just pack up and leave."

"We agreed before that we would keep you here until the autumn harvest was over, and it just so happens that you should leave today."

I had hoped that she would settle down recently and help her find a good husband, but it seems that is no longer necessary.

Shen Minghua looked up at Xu Manyue and the old lady, nodded, and said, "Auntie, thank you for taking me in these days. I will leave soon."

She had already told Lu Huaiyuan that he would marry her, so it shouldn't make any difference whether it was a day earlier or later.

No one in the Shen family looked at her; they were all busy eating their meals.

Shen Minghua didn't mind. She had no feelings for them in the first place. Although they took her in, she also did a lot of work for the family.

Especially during the days when she was working, she almost died of exhaustion in the fields.

after eating.

Just as Shen Minghua was about to leave, she was stopped by Mrs. Shen, "Wait, you've already eaten today's meal. If you want to leave, clean up the dishes first."

She didn't ask for anything when she got married, and she married that kind of man and became a stepmother. She can only wait to regret it.

"it is good."

After clearing away the dishes and finishing all the housework, Shen Minghua went back to the woodshed to pack her things.

She said she was packing, but in fact she had nothing except the tattered cloth clothes she was wearing and an old piece of clothes that Xu Manyue gave her a few days ago because she really had no clothes to change into.

Although it was old clothes, it was much better than the one she was wearing.

Shen Minghua originally wanted to change into the clothes Xu Manyue gave her and go to the Lu family cleanly, but for some reason, she always thought of Xu Manyue's entanglement with Lu Huaiyuan in the plot.

In the end, she didn't change into the clothes, but put them at Xu Manyue's door again.

Inside the house, Xu Manyue accidentally saw this scene through the window. She paused in her sewing, quickly looked away, and pretended not to see it.

She could probably guess what this person was thinking. A young girl who had just arrived in a strange place would have many thoughts written on her face and couldn't hide them.

Not only did she see something, but most people in the Shen family also saw it. This person came to test her feelings towards Lu Huaiyuan several times.

But I didn't expose her.

Not long after, Xu Manyue saw Shen Minghua leaving the Shen family through the window wearing her ragged, dirty and smelly clothes that she had just finished working, without even a small bag.

But it's normal to think about it. When she came to the Shen family, she had nothing.

After everyone has left.

Xu Manyue stood up with the help of her increasingly heavy body, opened the door, and saw the clothes placed at the door.

This was the clothes Shen Minghua gave her because she couldn't bear to see them before and she didn't have any spare clothes. The clothes were a bit old, but still wearable.

But Shen Minghua never wore it once. Now that she thinks about it, she didn't want it from the beginning.

The next morning, the sky gradually brightened.

Mrs. Shen had just gotten up and finished feeding the pigs, and subconsciously wanted to call Shen Minghua to sweep the floor, but when she called out the name, she realized that the dead girl had already married.

She spat on the ground and said, "Pah, that damn girl runs fast."

There will be times when she regrets it.

Xu Manyue had just gotten up, opened the door and came out to wash up, when she saw Mrs. Shen cursing there.

When I walked in and heard, I found out that they were scolding Shen Minghua.

"Sister-in-law, it's your turn to cook today. It's getting late, why don't you go?"

Mrs. Shen slapped her forehead fiercely and said, "Look at my memory. I almost forgot about this."

If the old lady and the others got up and saw that the food was not cooked yet, they would probably scold her to death.

She handed the broom in her hand to Xu Manyue and smiled flatteringly, "Third sister-in-law, please help me sweep the ground in this yard. I beg you, I need to cook and time is running out."

"Next time it's your turn, I'll take care of all your work."

Xu Manyue had nothing to do, just sweeping the floor.

"Okay, you go."

"Okay, okay, thank you, third sister-in-law, you are so kind." Mrs. Shen hurried back to the kitchen and started to light the fire and cook.

Xu Manyue bent slightly and swept the floor with a broom, sweeping away the dust and yellow leaves in the yard bit by bit.

Although her period was getting better, she still had to do some basic work.

But she doesn't need to light a fire and cook.

At most, I just sweep the floor and wipe the table, and my life is quite leisurely and comfortable.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Xu Manyue paused in sweeping the floor and looked up at the gate.

Who would come this early in the morning?

She put down the broom, walked over to open the door, and was stunned for a moment, "Second Aunt, why are you here, and carrying so many things?"

Aunt Xu handed over the basket in her hand and lifted the top piece of cloth.

"You're pregnant now, and you're getting older. It's time to nourish your body. I saved these eggs especially for you. One a day is just enough for a month."

"After you finish eating, Auntie will bring it to you."

Xu Manyue looked at the basket full of eggs and quickly reacted.

This should be the eggs laid by the old hen that the system rewarded her before. Calculating the time, she had only secretly put this chicken into her second uncle's house for more than half a month.

Thirty eggs are equivalent to all the eggs saved these days.

In this year of famine, these things are definitely hard to buy even if you have money.

A warm feeling surged in her heart. Xu Manyue took Aunt Xu's rough hand and put it against her face.

"Second Aunt, look at me. I've gained weight since I got pregnant, and my complexion has improved. I don't need to replenish my body at all."

"Second uncle's leg injury just happened not long ago, so he needs to be healed. And you, Second Aunt, look at your complexion, you also need more nourishment."

"You'd better take these eggs back."

Second Aunt Xu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Your second uncle and I are both elderly. Why do we need to eat this stuff? You're pregnant, so you should take good care of yourself."

"By the way, I came here today to tell you something."

Xu Manyue pulled Aunt Xu into her room. After they sat down, Aunt Xu put down the basket of eggs in her hand and sighed.

"Man Yue, you should have heard that Xu Xiangyang is back."

Xu Manyue nodded, "Yeah."

My sister-in-law had told her about this before.
