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

Chapter 229 Not on purpose

The old lady's face became visibly uglier.

"Minghua, I just called you, why didn't you stop?"

This is the first child of the third child in her family. If something happens, let alone the relationship between the two families, she will teach this person a lesson even if the relationship between the two families is good.

Shen Minghua's body stiffened and he quickly ran over to hold the old lady's hand.

"Aunt, you don't know who I am. How could I have the guts to hurt my third cousin's wife?"

"I really didn't mean to do that. I just saw that she was so excited that I ran up to her in a flash."

"Besides, I didn't know that my third cousin was pregnant. If I had known in advance, I definitely wouldn't have dared to do this."

Mrs. Wu saw that the old lady had a cold face and didn't speak, and she exuded a chill from her body. It was a very hot day, but she couldn't help but feel cold all over.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister-in-law, Minghua really didn't mean it. She has always been well-behaved and never causes trouble. She just saw Man Yue coming over and she was so excited that she couldn't stop for a moment."

"You and Man Yue should stop bothering with her."

Mrs. Shen, who was standing by, became anxious. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would be persuaded by these two poor relatives who often came to her house to ask for money.

So she supported Xu Manyue and walked to the old lady, "Mom, look, how pale my third sister-in-law's face is. She must be scared."

"This woman is pregnant, how can she bear the shock? You can't let the person who hurt her go easily."

Lin Luoxia glanced at Xu Manyue's much paler face and nodded, "Mom, my third sister-in-law was indeed quite frightened this time."

However, her face was not pale because of fear, but because she did not have to work and stayed in the school classroom every day, so her face naturally became whiter and she looked more and more beautiful.

Even though she often lives under the same roof with Xu Manyue, sometimes she is still distracted by her appearance.

It was obvious that when this person first got married, she was skinny, with sallow and dark skin, and she didn't look like a woman at all. Unexpectedly, more than a year later, she became more and more beautiful.

Upon hearing this, the old lady also became worried. She pushed away Wu Pozi and her daughter, ran to Xu Manyue, and pulled her up and down to look her up and down.

"Are you okay? Does your stomach hurt? Were you scared?"

Although Shen Minghua didn't bump into him just now, it's hard to say for sure. What if he was scared?

This is no small matter.

Xu Manyue raised her hand and rubbed her brow, "Mom, I feel a little unwell and want to go to rest."

The old lady was in a panic for a moment. She wanted to reach out to help her, but was afraid of making her more uncomfortable.

"Man Yue, don't scare Mom. How about we go to the clinic?"

Mrs. Shen also hurried over and said, "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? I want your eldest brother and the others to come back quickly and take you to the hospital."

No one knows the pain of losing a child better than her. If it weren't for her third brother's wife, she would have died long ago.

Although she is not a good person, she will never forget this kindness.

Shen Minghua and Mrs. Wu on the side were also panicked.

"No, mother, I didn't pounce on my third cousin's wife, nor did I hurt her. Aunt, mother, please believe me." Shen Minghua explained hurriedly.

She really didn't mean it. If she knew Xu Manyue was pregnant, she definitely wouldn't dare do that.

But Xu Manyue really didn't even tell me she was pregnant. Who knew she was so fragile? If something really happened, it's not her fault.

Xu Manyue glanced at Shen Minghua. She leaned on Shen Dasao, lowered her eyes and said weakly, "Mother, I want to go back to the house and rest first."

The old lady felt more distressed and frightened when she saw her like this. "Okay, okay, I'll help you go back to the house to rest."

"Don't worry about this. Mom won't let anyone scare you."

"Minghua, your third cousin's wife is pregnant. Don't come to our house in the future to avoid something like what happened today."

Shen Minghua's face changed drastically. Just as she was about to say something, Mrs. Wu grabbed her and smiled embarrassedly at the old lady and Xu Manyue.

"Okay, that's fine too. When the baby is a full month old, we'll go give the baby a gift as an apology for what happened today."

"We won't bother you today. Let's go back first."

After saying that, she pulled Shen Minghua, who still wanted to explain, out of the Shen family.

With the help of the old lady and Mrs. Shen, Xu Manyue returned to her room and lay down.

She actually had nothing to do, but she really didn't want to see Shen Minghua and her daughter, so she went with the flow and temporarily drove the two of them out.

"Big brother's wife, please go out first. I want to talk to your third brother's wife."

Mrs. Shen looked at Xu Manyue, then at the old lady, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll go out first."

Before leaving, she looked back at the two of them and then left.

The old lady sighed, "Third daughter-in-law, if you don't like famous flowers, just tell me directly. Don't scare me with such things in the future. I was almost scared to death by you just now."

If she hadn't been smart and guessed the little thoughts of her and the eldest brother's wife, she would probably have been scared.

Xu Manyue knew that she couldn't hide it from the old lady, so she reached out to pull the old lady's hand and shook it gently, "Mom, I know you love me, but Minghua has been coming to our house every day these days, and you should have guessed some of her thoughts."

"I'm pregnant and really don't want to deal with her, but it's hard to say it directly. I just happened to have this opportunity today, so I just went with it."

"Mom, you're not angry, are you?" She looked at the old lady without blinking.

The old lady glared at Xu Manyue and asked, "If I were angry, would I be able to cooperate with you and your sister-in-law like this today?"

"But you too, I'm old, so don't scare me with this kind of thing in the future. In my heart, they are just relatives, how can they be as important as my own family? What's more, you have my eldest grandson in your belly."

"You are the eldest in our family now. Nothing can get past your belly."

"Do you understand?"

Xu Manyue knew that the old lady was not angry, so she pursed her lips and smiled, "I know, mother, I will definitely not dare to do it next time."

"Come, have an egg to replenish your body. Mom secretly cooked it for you today."

When the old lady saw that she admitted her mistake, her expression eased a lot. She took out an egg from her pocket, peeled the eggshell, and handed it to Xu Manyue's mouth.

Xu Manyue took the egg, cut it in half, and put the other half to the old lady's mouth, "Mom, you eat it too. I don't have much appetite and I can't finish it by myself."

In the past few days, everyone in the Shen family has lost a lot of weight, including the old lady. She doesn't look as healthy as before, and she suffers from back and leg pain every night.

She needs more tonic than she does.

The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law, and her brows softened a little, but she still turned her face away, "If mother doesn't want to eat, you eat it."

"You're pregnant, you can't be careless."

She is an old woman, half of her body is almost buried in the ground, so it is useless for her to eat more delicious food.

But the third son’s wife is different. She is still young and is pregnant with his first child.

To put it bluntly, if something happened to the third brother on the battlefield now, this child would be his only bloodline.

No matter from which perspective, she could not let the third son's wife suffer in front of her while pregnant.
