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

Chapter 356 Ge Dahua

Mrs. Shen touched the fluffy and warm quilt again and said nothing more.

The richest and most capable person in the family is the third son. He is willing to give away his good cotton-padded clothes to make a quilt for his wife.

Xu Manyue lay on the bed, looked up at the sky outside the window, and took out some money and food coupons from her pocket. "Sister-in-law, it's time for dinner. Go to the state-owned restaurant and buy some."

"If we go now, we should still be able to catch dinner time. If we go past dinner time, the state-owned restaurant will be closed."

State-owned restaurants are not open all day long. You can only eat in during meal times. You basically cannot enter at other times.

Mrs. Shen slapped her thigh suddenly, and remembered this matter, and hurriedly borrowed money and tickets from Xu Manyue.

"Look, I forgot about it, Third Sister-in-law. I'm going to go first. You take a good rest. I'll be back soon."

Eating is a big deal, how can we be careless?

If you miss the meal, you will go hungry today.

Xu Manyue saw that everyone had left and there was no one she knew in the ward, so she decided to close her eyes and rest for a while.

At this time, the forty-year-old woman in the next bed turned her head to look at Xu Manyue and said, "Sister, is there only one person in your family who takes care of you?"

"That's outrageous. You look like a new bride from the city, right? Was that your mother-in-law just now?"

He looks fair and rosy, and handsome. It is obvious that he comes from a family that has no shortage of food.

Xu Manyue turned her head and met Ge Dahua's eyes. She shook her head and said, "It's my sister-in-law. My mother-in-law is not in good health. She is still recuperating at home."

Ge Dahua smiled and said, "I see. But at least you still have your sister-in-law to take care of you. I'm alone and have to do everything myself. If I really can't help, I can only ask the nurse for help."

She changed the subject, "By the way, where do you live? I see you look like a city girl, so your family should be well off, right?"

Look at that big quilt, it's obviously thick, and the money and bills she just took out without blinking an eye. How could a girl from an ordinary family be so generous?

Xu Manyue: "Sister-in-law, you're joking. My family is not well off. It's just because this is my first child that I attach extra importance to it. That's why I came to the hospital to give birth."

Ge Dahua's eyes fell on Xu Manyue's rosy white face. Not sure whether she believed it or not, she smiled and said, "You should pay more attention to your first child."

Then she looked at Xu Manyue's belly and paused for a moment, "Look at your belly..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly sighed, "Hey, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. Don't be disappointed. I gave birth to six girls, and I still raised them. Now I just hope this one is a boy, so that he can support his six sisters in the future."

"It will also give my daughter the confidence to become a nun in the future."

Xu Manyue understood that this was another person who kept guessing about the boy or girl of the baby in her belly.

Her expression faded and she didn't say anything else. Instead, she pretended to be tired and closed her eyes to rest.

As Ge Dahua was talking, she looked up and found that the person who was listening to her had fallen asleep. Her face looked a little ugly and she felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't show it.

These young people really don't understand anything. They were talking to her and she actually fell asleep.

No wonder she could only give birth to a girl as her first child. She is obviously an unlucky woman. No matter how pretty she is, she will definitely be despised by her in-laws and her husband.

the other side.

Mrs. Shen took the money and tickets and jogged all the way to the state-owned restaurant just as it was about to close.

Unfortunately, we went too late and all the food was gone. There were only a few cornmeal steamed buns and a bowl of cabbage and oil residue soup.

Mrs. Shen simply spent four cents and two taels of food coupons to buy two steamed buns, and spent another three cents to buy a bowl of cabbage and oil residue soup, which was considered as a little oil and water for her third brother's wife.

After buying food, she looked at the lunch box in her hand and sighed.

It seems that I should come earlier to get food in the future. If I come late, only these coarse grains will be left.

Not long after, she returned to the ward.

When Xu Manyue heard footsteps, she knew someone was coming back. She slowly opened her eyes and looked, and sure enough, it was her sister-in-law coming back with food.

Seeing that she had woken up, Mrs. Shen thought about how she hadn't caught anything good just now, so she sighed again, "Third sister-in-law, I left too late today. All that's left is cornmeal steamed buns and a bowl of cabbage and oil residue soup."

"Just eat what you have. I'll go over early tomorrow and get you some meat dishes to replenish your body."

Xu Manyue shook her head. "It's okay. As long as there's soup, it's fine. Cabbage and oil residue soup is also meaty and goes well with steamed bread."

She opened the lunch box, took out a steamed bun and handed it to Sister Shen, "Here, Sister, you eat too. For things like steamed buns, you can buy more in the future. I can't guarantee that other things will be full, but I can guarantee that steamed buns will be full."

"Two is too few. It's not enough. I can buy three or four for a meal in the future."

She is full after eating one, but my sister-in-law has to eat at least two to feel 70% or 80% full.

Mrs. Shen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"

She hadn't had a full meal for many years, but she didn't expect that she could have a few days of full meals thanks to her third brother's wife. This was such a good thing that she couldn't find it even with a lantern.

Xu Manyue: "Of course it's true. There's plenty of steamed bread, but the other things won't fill you up completely, but they'll keep you about 70% full."

She wasn't short of food coupons, nor was she short of money. Not to mention that Shen Jingming would send money and coupons back every month, she herself had a job, and the system would occasionally reward her with some food coupons.

enough.

People are taking care of her in the hospital, so at least they should make sure she has enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear.

Mrs. Shen smiled like a flower, "Oh, that's very meaningful."

She had gotten a great bargain now. Not to mention asking her to take care of her third brother's wife while she gave birth, she would be willing to do so even if she was asked to take care of her for the rest of her life, as long as she could have enough to eat.

Xu Manyue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this is what you deserve. During these days in the hospital, I'm afraid I need you to be by my side all the time to take care of me. How can I survive without eating enough?"

Mrs. Shen smiled even more widely. "Don't worry, I will take good care of you. Whatever you say is what I will do. I will just focus on my work."

Because the two of them spoke quietly and tried not to disturb others, Ge Dahua, who was in the bed next to them, only saw Xu Manyue and the other person talking and didn't hear anything else.

She curled her lips and smelled the aroma of cabbage stewed with oil residue filling her nose. She couldn't help swallowing and looked at the lunch box in Xu Manyue's hand.

Finally, he couldn't help but said, "Hey, sister, what are you drinking? It smells so good. Can I have a taste? I haven't eaten for almost a day."

Xu Manyue was slightly startled when she heard this righteous voice. She looked up and met Ge Dahua's straight eyes again.

Looking at this, she knew that this person was not joking and really wanted to ask her for food.
