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

Chapter 291 Operating Room

The two rushed into the hospital without delay and asked the nurse for a long time before they found the operating room where the old lady was.

Mrs. Shen and Shen Minghua were guarding the door of the operating room.

Seeing the two men rushing over, Mrs. Shen's eyes turned red and tears fell. She stood up and ran to Boss Shen.

"Mother...Mother is still in the operating room."

Boss Shen glared at her fiercely, "Tell me, what on earth is going on? Mother has always been in good health, why did she become like this all of a sudden?"

Although the old lady is only 58 years old this year, she is still in very good health. There must be something strange about what happened today.

Shen Lao Er frowned, "Sister-in-law, Mom's health is generally not a big problem. Please tell us in detail, what happened today?"

"I... I don't know either. I came out of my third brother's wife's room and looked up to see that Mom's door was not closed. I went to check and saw Mom lying on the ground, her face pale and unconscious."

"I panicked and called for help. Soon my second and third sister-in-law came running in."

"My third sister-in-law took Mom's pulse and said the situation was very serious. She asked us to quickly find you two and take Mom to the county town. But we couldn't find you. Finally, Minghua and Huaiyuan passed by, and I asked them for help."

"That's why we sent my mother to the hospital."

Shen Lao Er was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when he went in today, he didn't see his wife at all, and he was not with his eldest sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, where is Luoxia? Didn't she come with you?"

Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and shook her head. "No, I couldn't find anyone at the time, and Mom's condition was critical. I had planned to take Mom to the county town with my second brother and sister-in-law, but she twisted her ankle and it was so red and swollen that she couldn't walk at all."

"Later, I found someone and was anxious to go home to save my mother. For a while, I didn't pay attention to my second brother and sister-in-law."

Boss Shen glanced at Second Brother Shen and said, "Second Brother, was your wife not at home just now?"

This is strange. People in rural areas are not so delicate. They can still walk even if they sprain their ankle. I wonder if something happened to the second son’s wife as well.

Shen Lao Er pursed his lips, obviously thinking of this possibility.

He wanted to go back immediately, but when he looked up, he saw that his mother had not yet left the operating room and it was unclear whether she was alive or dead. How could he go back?

So I had to suppress my worries and stand guard at the door of the operating room.

Boss Shen saw through his thoughts, walked to his side, sighed, and patted his second brother's shoulder.

"Don't worry, what can happen in our place? Xiaoshan and my third brother's wife are still at home. They will definitely go back to look for people."

The old lady is the most important now, everything else has to be put aside.

She is just a woman, how can she be as important as the mother who gave birth to them and raised them.

What's more, this family is supported by my mother alone. If she is gone, the family will fall apart.

Shen Lao Er nodded silently. He still knew the importance of things.

Shen Minghua, who was standing by, saw the two brothers of the Shen family coming over, so she pulled Mrs. Shen aside.

"Sister-in-law, now that my brother and the others are here, it's pointless for Huaiyuan and I to stay here any longer. Let's go back first."

From this afternoon until tonight, she and Lu Huaiyuan took great pains to get the person to the hospital.

After Lu Huaiyuan sent the person to the hospital, he said he had to go out for something and has not returned until now.

She wanted to go out and look for him.

As for where to find it, it’s naturally the black market.

During the days since she married into the Lu family, she discovered that Lu Huaiyuan had been in contact with people in the black market without her knowledge.

Even the Lu family seemed to have enough food, but they were all wary of her and didn't let her know.

Mrs. Shen took Shen Minghua's hand and patted it gently, "Okay, Minghua, I'm sorry to bother you Huaiyuan with today's matter. When this matter is over, I will come to thank you."

Relying on manpower to pull a cart and send the person to the county hospital is no easier than carrying water to irrigate the fields. Today, the three of them were exhausted before they finally sent the person to the hospital.

Shen Minghua and his wife have put in a lot of effort this time, so it is only right that they should go and thank them.

"No need, sister-in-law. You took me in before, and I'm helping you this time. There's no need to come to my house to thank me." Shen Minghua shook her head.

The reason why she asked Lu Huaiyuan for help today was just to repay the Shen family's kindness so that they would not owe each other anything in the future.

Mrs. Shen, who has always had a poor brain, rarely understood what Shen Minghua meant at this moment. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

"Alright."

Since they don't want to be involved with their family, then let it go.

The two brothers of the Shen family and Mrs. Shen were still guarding in front of the operating room.

After Shen Huaming came out of the hospital, she disguised herself and, based on her understanding of the plot, quickly found out the location of the black market.

At this time, it was almost eight or nine o'clock in the evening. It was pitch black all around and there were almost no pedestrians on the streets.

The wind is a bit cold after the autumn, especially at night.

Shen Minghua shrank her body and carefully paid attention to her surroundings, fearing that she would be caught.

These days, the black market is not allowed to exist openly. Once you are caught, you will be thrown into prison.

However, according to the plot of the book, Lu Huaiyuan has always been connected with the black market, and even his ability to make a lot of money in the future is inseparable from his early relationship in the black market.

When we got near the black market, everything around us was dark and gloomy.

Shen Minghua was extremely panicked, her hands and feet were cold, and she had no idea where to go.

She vaguely remembered the plot of the book, but now the plot has collapsed.

Lu Huaiyuan was not with Xu Mingyue at all, and Xu Manyue seemed to no longer like Lu Huaiyuan. Instead, Lu Huaiyuan... He looked at Xu Manyue with a complicated expression today.

It's not as disgusting as described in the book.

She suddenly began to doubt whether she had made a mistake in choosing such a man.

Unfortunately, now that the two have obtained their marriage certificate, even if they are not actually husband and wife, things cannot be changed.

She could only cling to the man's thighs and survive this famine year.

In a shabby house in the black market.

Lu Huaiyuan sat in front of a tall, thin man and said something to him. The man curled his lips in a cold smile, his expression seeming to be full of disdain.

But after Lu Huaiyuan said something else, his expression gradually became serious, and he put away his previous nonchalant attitude, looking at the person in front of him with sharp eyes.

"you sure?"

Lu Huaiyuan nodded slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, "I'm sure."

The black market boss sneered, "Okay, I'll give you this chance. As for food, take 30 kilograms of coarse grains and 5 kilograms of fine grains back home today."

"If things are really as you said, I will have another reward."

Lu Huaiyuan smiled calmly, "Thank you."
