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

Chapter 347 Past Events

……

In the end, Shen Minghua left.

Xu Manyue watched her figure gradually disappear from his sight before he looked away.

Return to the Lu family.

Shen Minghua looked at the house full of messy feathers and the man's distant face, and suddenly felt a little tired.

There has not been much food at home this month, and she would rather starve herself than let Lu Huaiyuan and the two children eat more. She also keeps the house in order and works hard for them.

But she didn't expect that all her efforts would disappear just because of such a small misunderstanding.

Shen Minghua pursed her lips, walked into the house, and was about to go see the child.

But as soon as she walked in, she found that the child had disappeared. Her face changed drastically and she felt extremely panicked.

These days, she has developed feelings for the child.

Shen Minghua hurried out and called out to Lu Huaiyuan, "The child, the child is missing."

Lu Huaiyuan was chopping wood in the yard. When he heard this, he acted as if he didn't hear it and continued chopping wood with his head down.

Shen Minghua looked at him like this, her eyes widened in disbelief, "Lu Huaiyuan, no matter what Xiaoping is like, he is still your own son. How could you...how could you be so cruel..."

She originally thought that this man was only cruel to her, but she didn't expect that he was even more cruel to his own flesh and blood.

Lu Huaiyuan stopped the machete in his hand and looked up at Shen Minghua, "You care about that child, but don't forget, he has a mother."

"I only married you to take care of Xiaochuan, not to take care of the child. I won't bother you about what happened last night, but from today on, if you want to stay in the Lu family, you must take good care of Xiaochuan."

"As for that child, I've already left him to his mother. You don't have to worry about him anymore."

That child shouldn't have been born. His birth was an accident.

Back then, it was that bitch Xu Mingyue who took the initiative to plot against him, which led to the birth of that child. Unexpectedly, after just that one time, she actually got pregnant, and with twins.

But this child was lucky. Unlike his older sister, he did not die of starvation shortly after birth.

Now, their Lu family only has one child, Xiaochuan. That child is not their Lu family's, and he will never acknowledge it in his life.

Shen Minghua was completely stunned. She looked at the man in front of her as if she was meeting him for the first time.

"But...but Xiaoping is your biological son, and Xiaochuan is just your nephew."

She couldn't understand how anyone could be so cruel to their own son and treat their nephew better than their own son in every way.

Lu Huaiyuan's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "If you really like that child, I can divorce you directly and let you go find Xu Mingyue, and the three of you can live together."

Xu Mingyue is now in a difficult situation and is almost dying. In order to survive, I heard that she found an old bachelor who could be her grandfather and married him.

But the old bachelor died a few days later, and she was driven out by her stepsons who were old enough to be her father.

Now that she has another child, her situation will only become more difficult.

Shen Minghua opened her mouth, but finally closed it.

This era is not her era. If she leaves the Lu family, she will really have no way out.

She looked up at the man in front of her and suddenly thought of Xu Manyue again.

Who does this guy really love? Does he really like Xu Manyue? If so, why did he betray her?

……

Winter vacation came in a blink of an eye, and Shen Qingqing returned from the junior high school in the commune. She usually only came back on weekends, but she rarely came back on most weekends, so no one noticed her change.

After Shen Qingqing came back, she went straight to find Xu Manyue.

Therefore, Xu Manyue was the first person in the Shen family to notice her changes. Looking at Shen Qingqing's short hair and increasingly charming eyebrows, she was slightly stunned.

"Qingqing, did you cut your hair?"

Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "Yes, I cut it."

She raised her hand and touched her hair, "Aunt San, is it... a little ugly?"

This hairstyle is usually only worn by married women. Unmarried young girls usually wear two big braids.

Xu Manyue's eyes fell on Shen Qingqing's neat short hair. She shook her head and said, "It's not ugly, it's pretty."

This is the truth. No one in the Shen family is ugly. Shen Qingqing has a very pretty appearance. After cutting her hair short, she looks even more refreshing and lovely.

But nowadays, this hairstyle is usually cut by married women to make it easier to work. Unmarried girls usually don't cut their hair like this.

She probably cut her hair like this to make it easier to study, after all, long hair is difficult to manage.

Shen Qingqing smiled and took her hands away from her hair. "That's good."

At this time, Mrs. Shen suddenly came over. She saw Shen Qingqing's back and didn't recognize her for a moment.

It wasn't until she walked over and saw Shen Qingqing's face that Mrs. Shen's eyes widened.

"You...your hair?" She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was her relatively well-behaved daughter.

Just as Shen Qingqing was about to say something, Mrs. Shen's face suddenly turned cold.

She rushed forward, grabbed Shen Qingqing's hair, and slapped her with her backhand. Her face instantly became red and swollen, and a burning pain spread across her face.

"You're so good! You've been studying so hard that you've become stupid. The money your family gives you is for your education, not for you to do these shady things."

"You are a grown-up girl who has not yet married, and you cut your hair like this. Are you going to get married in the future? How will outsiders look at me, your grandma, your dad, and your brother?"

Xu Manyue quickly realized what was happening. She quickly advised, "Sister-in-law, don't be like this. Qingqing only cut her hair to study better. She didn't mean it that way."

"Stop fighting now."

Mrs. Shen's face was extremely ugly with anger. She grabbed Shen Qingqing's hair and pinched her ears fiercely, while she said to Xu Manyue, "Third sister-in-law, don't worry about this. I know my limits."

"I think she's just been too obsessed with studying. With her level of ability, there's no way she could get into a technical secondary school and become a cadre. I think it's better to let Xiaoshan study instead. Xiaoshan is much more obedient than her older sister."

Shen Qingqing's face was swollen and her ears were bleeding from being pinched, a bloody mess.

But she was already used to all this, it was just a common occurrence, so she didn't cry, but just let Mrs. Shen do what she wanted to her.

Xu Manyue, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch any more. "Sister-in-law, please let Qingqing go. This is not what you think. If you don't let go, I'll go and call my mother."

She just couldn't understand why this man was so harsh on his only daughter.

Xiaoshan is her child, but so is Qingqing.

The old lady was a person who favored boys over girls, but she doted on Shen Lanhua. She was just harsh on her granddaughter and grandson.
