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

Chapter 303: Divorce plan

"My third sister-in-law also knows what happened next. I heard the noise and ran out of the house. I happened to meet her and we went to mother's room together."

"Then I saw my eldest sister-in-law holding my unconscious mother and calling for help."

Shen Jingming frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Second sister-in-law, what did you say to mother in the room at that time?"

"Before you came out, did Mom do anything unusual?"

Lin Luoxia sighed, "At that time, Lin Erzhu came to our house to make trouble and mentioned my eldest sister. He said that I was behind my eldest sister's death."

"Mother came to me alone for this matter."

"She asked me if it was true. I said no, and then I left my mother's room."

"I don't know what happened afterwards."

After hearing this, Shen Lao Er's eyes turned cold. "Third brother, what does this have to do with your second sister-in-law? Your second sister-in-law has nothing to do with your eldest sister's death. It must be because Lin Erzhu came to make trouble and suddenly mentioned the eldest sister that my mother was admitted to the hospital."

"You know that ever since my eldest sister passed away, she has become a source of worry for my mother."

Shen Jingming's eyebrows were cold, and he pursed his lips. "Second brother, second sister-in-law, mother will wake up soon. When the time comes, you can ask mother about the truth of the matter."

Although he was in the army when his eldest sister died, he knew something about it.

He didn't know whether there was any problem behind this, but the old lady was admitted to the hospital because of this incident.

Then there must be something wrong behind this matter.

He didn't understand the others, but he understood the old lady.

Lin Luoxia lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions that flashed through her eyes, and stood silently aside without saying a word.

The eldest and second oldest Shen were extremely excited. They pulled Shen Jingming aside and asked, "Third oldest, is this true? Has mother gotten better?"

They went to the city yesterday to deliver food to Wang Zhaodi and the old lady, so how come they didn’t hear about this?

Shen Jingming nodded, "Mom's condition has indeed improved. The doctor said that if nothing unexpected happens, she will wake up in the next few days."

When he said this, his eyes swept over Lin Luoxia.

Xu Manyue, who was standing by, relaxed a little after hearing the news.

These days, without the old lady at home, the house is very quiet, especially at mealtimes, it is extremely lonely.

Now, I finally heard some good news.

Lin Luoxia suddenly said, "In that case, why don't I go to the county town to see mother tomorrow. My sister-in-law has been taking care of her these days, and she has worked hard."

"I can still help out there."

Shen Lao Er nodded and said, "I'll go with you and bring food to my sister-in-law."

Lin Luoxia smiled and said, "That's fine. It's a good thing that Mom's health has improved. Tomorrow I'll beat two eggs and make egg soup and bring it over to nourish Mom."

……

In the evening, it gradually gets dark.

Xu Manyue was boiling water in the kitchen. Lin Luoxia opened the curtain and walked into the kitchen. "Third sister-in-law, are you boiling water?"

"Well, it's so cold. It's cold to sit here all the time. Let's wash up and rest early."

Lin Luoxia came over and glanced at the large iron pot boiling water on the stove. "In our family, it seems that Jingming is the only one who has to boil water to wash his face and feet even at night."

"If my mother were still alive, she would probably tell others if she saw this."

These days, there are famines and droughts everywhere, and most people can't even get enough food to eat, so how can they have the time to use water and firewood for this?

Not only the old lady, but also the team leader. If he knew about it, he would definitely say it was a waste.

Xu Manyue's tone faded, "Second sister-in-law, Jingming doesn't come back often. He came back this time and will leave again the day after tomorrow."

"It doesn't take much water to boil water for washing your feet and face."

Lin Luoxia's face froze slightly, but she quickly came to her senses and changed the subject, "By the way, Third Sister-in-law, you and Jingming paid a lot of money for Mother's hospitalization this time."

"Your second brother, your eldest brother and his wife, I and the others all know that you two did pay the most and suffered some losses."

"But, as you know, Jingming has been serving in the army these years, and you only got married last year."

"Before this, everything in the family was supported by my husband and I and my eldest brother."

After listening to these words, Xu Manyue probably already knew the man's purpose.

She raised her eyes to look at her, "Second sister-in-law, what do you think should be done about this?"

Although the Shen family has not split up yet, there is no rule that requires all wages to be handed over. People who have jobs only need to hand over a portion of the money every month.

To put it bluntly, Shen Jingming sends at least more than 100 yuan to his family every year, which is a huge sum of money.

She had never heard of any family in the surrounding area who could save fifty yuan by not eating or drinking for a whole year.

Shen Jingming paid so much money to his family throughout the year, so it would be normal even if she didn't give her food coupons to her family every month.

When the old lady was first sent to the hospital, she took out twenty yuan without saying a word, and later took out another forty-five yuan, as well as the money in the old lady's room, most of which were the leftovers sent back by Shen Jingming.

All in all, it was Shen Jingming who paid for most of the old lady's hospitalization this time.

Seeing Xu Manyue's cold expression, Lin Luoxia felt something was wrong. She glanced at her and shook her head.

"Third sister-in-law, some things can't be calculated like this."

"Look, this time the old lady was hospitalized, your second brother and I paid thirty yuan, which is almost all the private money we have."

"Big brother and fourth brother together only contributed less than twenty yuan. Your second brother and I didn't think it was a big deal. After all, that was all they could afford."

"I didn't come to see you this time for anything else. I just thought that you and your wife both have jobs, especially Jingming. He earns over 100 yuan, which is not a low salary."

"Or, you can tell him not to calculate it so clearly this time. If you calculate it, how can the eldest brother and the fourth brother afford this money?"

Seeing that Xu Manyue still didn't speak, Lin Luoxia paused and continued.

"Of course, I'm not saying this for your brother and me. I'm saying this for my eldest brother and the fourth brother. After all, if we all share the cost of Mom's medical treatment, your brother and I can afford it."

The total cost of treatment was more than 150 yuan. After deducting the 60 yuan that the family already had, there were still 80 or 90 yuan left. The four brothers of the Shen family shared this 80 or 90 yuan, which was only about 20 yuan each.

The thirty dollars they gave this time was indeed more than they should have given.

Xu Manyue looked at the person in front of her several times, "Second sister-in-law, is this your idea, or is this what Second Brother meant, or is it what you two meant?"

She didn't believe that the couple was really doing this for the good of Boss Shen and Shen Jianping.

Who knows what he's planning.
