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

Chapter 348 Alienation

Mrs. Shen paused in her action of pinching Shen Qingqing's earlobe, smiled awkwardly, and quickly let go.

"Third sister-in-law, please don't, please don't. Mom is recuperating now. How can you trouble her with such a thing? I'll let this damn girl go."

Xu Manyue walked over and blocked Shen Qingqing behind her, blocking her from Mrs. Shen's sight.

"Sister-in-law, please go out first. I'll treat Qingqing's wound."

Mrs. Shen was about to say no, there was no point in treating such a small wound, but when she looked up and saw Shen Qingqing's bleeding and swollen earlobe, her voice choked and she didn't say anything in the end.

"Excuse me, third sister-in-law."

After everyone left, Xu Manyue pulled Shen Qingqing, whose eyes were red, to sit down, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off her earlobe.

"Qingqing, how have you been doing at school recently?"

Shen Qingqing's nose felt sore and she couldn't control her tears anymore. She held Xu Manyue's hand and choked with tears.

"Third aunt..."

She... She just cut her hair to make it easier for her to study and didn't want to let down her family who spent money on her education, so she gritted her teeth and cut it. Not only is it winter now, but there is also a shortage of water.

In that part of the school, it’s hard to get hot water even in winter.

If you wash your hair with cold water, you will at least catch a cold and have a fever for several days, which will delay your studies.

Xu Manyue also went to junior high school, so she naturally knew how difficult winter was for girls.

She sighed, stretched out her hand and wiped Shen Qingqing's tears with her fingertips, "Don't cry, it won't look good if your eyes are wet."

"This is not your fault, don't feel bad."

"If you're really upset, then have a good cry. Auntie San promises that your mother won't punish you for cutting your hair again."

Shen Qingqing felt warm in her heart, and her tears could no longer be controlled. She held Xu Manyue's hand, crying and promising, "Aunt, don't worry, I will study hard and work hard to get into a technical secondary school."

She knew that she was able to study this time because of her third aunt speaking for her and Shen Xiaoshan's concession.

If she could read it out, she would definitely repay them well.

In fact, if you count it up, Third Aunt is only five or six years older than her, but she always feels that it is reliable and safe to stay with Third Aunt.

If she says yes, then it definitely means yes.

Xu Manyue patted her head and said with a smile, "Okay, Third Aunt believes in you, you will definitely pass the exam."

After comforting the man, the two of them went out together.

Not only Shen Qingqing had a day off today, but Shen Baozhu and the others had also had a day off. When Shen Baozhu saw Xu Manyue, she jumped and ran over with a smile.

"Aunt, I'm on vacation. I don't have to go to school."

It’s winter, and getting up early in the morning to go to school in the commune is so annoying.

Xu Manyue dodged Shen Baozhu's move to pounce on her, and her attitude towards her was not as affectionate as before. She just nodded in response to her words and said nothing else.

Shen Baozhu was stunned for a moment, looking up at Xu Manyue, somewhat at a loss, "...Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

It wasn't like this before. Her aunt was one of the few people in the family who treated her well.

Her mother said that her aunt loved her and she had to get along well with her aunt.

But in recent days, she could clearly feel that her aunt was not as nice to her as before, and she was distancing herself from her.

Xu Manyue shook her head. "It's nothing, Baozhu. Auntie is pregnant now. You can't just rush towards me like this. Something bad will happen."

"Your mother is still cooking in the kitchen. Go find her."

After what happened last time, she realized that she still had to keep a distance from Shen Baozhu, so that if something happened in the future, Lin Luoxia would not plot against her again.

Shen Baozhu pouted and looked at Xu Manyue aggrievedly, still refusing to leave, "Aunt, did I do something wrong?"

She was sure that it was not an illusion that her aunt was distancing herself from her, but why did her aunt only distancing herself from her and still be so nice to Sister Qingqing?

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "Baozhu, don't think too much. You didn't do anything wrong."

Although children should not be implicated when adults make mistakes, everything Lin Luoxia did was for Shen Baozhu. She really couldn't like this child now.

Even though Shen Baozhu has a pleasant face, she would still call her aunt sweetly.

Shen Qingqing bit her lip, feeling even more aggrieved, and her eyes began to turn red. "I didn't do anything wrong, so why does Auntie ignore me? Why does she hate me?"

Could it be that my aunt is just like my grandma and doesn’t like her because she is a girl?

No, that's not right. Auntie is obviously very good to Sister Qingqing. It's definitely not for this reason.

Xu Manyue didn't want to talk to a child, so she directly threw the question to Lin Luoxia, "Baozhu, go ask your mother. Your mother will definitely be able to answer your question."

Although she couldn't like Shen Baozhu, there was no need to hate a child. At most, she could just reduce contact with her in the future.

Shen Baozhu looked at her with tears in her eyes, then ran into the house, threw herself into Lin Luoxia's arms, and began to cry.

"Mom, mom, does aunt dislike me?"

"Did I do something wrong?"

When Lin Luoxia saw her daughter crying so pitifully, she suddenly panicked and even forgot what was cooking on the stove.

"Baozhu, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll seek justice for you."

While she held the person tightly in her arms, she felt so distressed that she put her good ear close to Shen Baozhu's ear, trying to hear clearly what she was saying.

Ever since she became deaf in one ear, her hearing has deteriorated significantly. She can only hear clearly when the other person speaks loudly or very close to her.

Others thought that being deaf had little impact on her, but no one knew that she actually couldn't hear many sounds.

Especially now, her daughter's cry was as weak as a kitten. She could only see her crying, but it was difficult to hear what she was crying about.

When Lin Luoxia put her left ear close to Shen Baozhu's mouth, she realized that Xu Manyue had begun to distance herself from Baozhu these days.

Because of her relationship with Shen Jianyun, Baozhu has developed a sensitive personality, especially when it comes to people's emotional changes.

Since she said this, it must be that Xu Manyue has really started to distance herself from Baozhu.

Lin Luoxia held the crying child tightly in her arms, and gently stroked her face with her other hand.

"Baozhu, don't cry. Your aunt definitely doesn't hate you. She loved you so much before and often gave you food. And you were so well-behaved and sensible. How could she hate you?"

"There must be some misunderstanding. Go play with your sister Qingqing first. I'll ask your aunt for you later to clear up the misunderstanding between you, okay?"

Shen Baozhu's eyelashes were stained with tears, and her face was red from crying. "Really...really?"

"Really? When has mother ever lied to you?"
