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

Chapter 382 Banquet

For a moment, no one present spoke, and everyone looked at each other.

You have to know that this person is the most difficult old lady in Qingshan Brigade, no doubt about it, so don't provoke her easily.

The old lady glanced at everyone present and snorted coldly, "Alright, my baby hasn't returned yet, so don't stand at my door. My house is small and can't accommodate so many people."

"Everyone go back."

Mrs. Wang, who had spoken the most forcefully just now, smiled awkwardly and said, "Old sister-in-law, that's not how I said it. We all mean well and have no bad intentions. Don't take it to heart."

"Today is your daughter-in-law's wedding day, so don't bother with everyone."

As she was speaking, she suddenly changed the subject, "But, sister-in-law, since you have to go back to school after the full moon, when are you planning to set up a few tables to celebrate?"

The old lady glanced at her and instantly understood the man's little thoughts.

Come on, you're here to take advantage again.

She waved her hand. "These days, people are almost starving to death. How can we have extra food for a wedding banquet? It's not even allowed for weddings, let alone ours."

Mrs. Shen curled her lips and had no good face towards these people who were eyeing her family's food.

"Auntie, how can you be so shameless? You just interfered with our family affairs, and now you want to enjoy the feast. There is no such good thing in the world. You have taken advantage of everything."

Although gifts are usually accepted at wedding banquets, every family has ten or eight children nowadays. The gift money is less than ten cents, and more than ten people in the family rush to the banquet.

Who can afford it?

This is not the way to take advantage.

Besides, what does it have to do with them if my third brother’s wife passed the exam? Why should they treat outsiders like them to a meal?

Mrs. Wang's face turned ugly. Humph, these days, even a junior dared to make her angry.

She was about to say something, but when she met the old lady's emotionless eyes, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her throat.

In the end, they had to leave reluctantly. Once the troublemaker left, everyone else followed suit.

Mrs. Shen put her hands on her hips and spat in the direction those people left.

"Bah! It's such a good day, but it's really unlucky to meet these people."

"Mom, you should have taught those old women a lesson. You shouldn't have let them go so easily."

These people are so gossipy that within a few days, the Shen family’s reputation will become even worse.

The old lady rolled her eyes at her and said, "Okay, close the door and go in. Let's take out the last bit of white flour in the house today and have a good meal for the whole family to celebrate the full moon."

When talking about this, Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Mom, my third sister-in-law really needs to go back to continue her studies. Then...what will happen to Tuantuan in the future?"

Tuantuan is not even one year old yet and is at the age when he needs his mother. This is really difficult to deal with.

The old lady sighed, "Alright, Man Yue is a person with her own ideas. Let's not talk about this anymore. Tuan Tuan is her biological son. She can't possibly let him down."

I thought Qingqing would be the first technical secondary school student in the family, but unexpectedly, it was the third son's wife. I don't know if Qingqing can pass the exam next year.

If they pass the exam, the Shen family will have several city officials.

As soon as she entered the house, the old lady started to prepare dinner.

Xu Manyue took her child to Uncle Xu's house and told them about this incident, but he hasn't returned yet.

I guess he will be back soon.

Lin Luoxia sat silently in the corner, not knowing what she was thinking.

After Shen Baozhu finished her homework, she ran to her side and whispered in her good ear, "Mom, did you and Dad... make up last night?"

When she woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, she unexpectedly found her father and mother lying in the same bed, very close.

My mother did not resist, and my father has not been in contact with those women outside recently. It seems that everything has returned to the way it was before.

Lin Luoxia was silent for a long time, then looked down at her daughter and spoke after a long while.

"Baozhu, do you...want to have a younger brother?"

Shen Baozhu was stunned, but she quickly came to her senses and thought for a moment, "Mom, I think having a younger brother is pretty good too. Girls my age all have younger brothers and sisters at home, but I don't."

"I would think it would be nice if you could give me a brother or sister."

Over the past six months, she has also seen through her father's true character.

Although her father loved her on the surface, he actually didn't love her that much. In his heart, her daughter was not as good as his son who could carry on the family line.

He has some feelings for his mother, but that can't stop him from fooling around with those women outside.

However, the mother and daughter still have to rely on this family to survive, so this family cannot be broken up.

Perhaps, with a younger brother, Dad would be able to settle down and live a good life with Mom, and Mom's life would be better.

As for whether her mother would love her as much as she does now if she has a younger brother, she is not worried because she believes in her mother. Even if she has a younger brother, she will still love her the most.

Lin Luoxia's eyes were slightly red, her nose was sore, and she hugged Shen Baozhu tightly, "Baozhu, my Baozhu..."

Although the child didn't say it, she knew that she said it because she didn't want to embarrass herself.

"Baozhu, don't worry. Even if you have a younger brother, mother will still love you the most."

If they leave the Shen family, she and Baozhu will not be able to survive, so this marriage cannot be divorced and this family cannot be broken up.

She didn't want to have a son, but now Shen Jianyun's feelings for her and Baozhu were growing weaker and weaker. Unless she really planned to divorce, she had to give birth to this son.

If she doesn't give birth, the other woman will, and then the marriage will still be lost.

After hearing the news that Xu Manyue was admitted to a technical secondary school today, Lin Luoxia couldn't help but think, if... she were Xu Manyue.

It has to be said that among the three daughters-in-law of the Shen family, Xu Manyue lives the best life.

Although the man is not at home, he sends money back on time every month.

She has a job and can earn money, so she can still survive even if she leaves her man. Now she has been admitted to a technical secondary school, has money and an education, and her husband is an officer.

She really envied such days.

Unfortunately, she could never become Xu Manyue.

……

After Xu Manyue came back from Uncle Xu's place, she was a little surprised to see the fine grains on the table.

In fact, no one in the Shen family supported her going to technical secondary school except Shen Jingming.

They were more concerned about the children's problems, especially the old lady, who was particularly opposed after learning about this.

Unexpectedly, after just a few days, their opposition seemed to be less intense.
