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

Chapter 273 Autumn Harvest

Shen Minghua suddenly thought of something she had overlooked. Her body stiffened and she subconsciously looked at Xu Manyue, her fingers tightly clenching her sleeves.

"Third sister-in-law, can I ask...what is your name?"

Xu Manyue knew that this person was about to find out, so she simply told her directly.

"Minghua, you forgot, my name is Xu Manyue."

Shen Minghua's mind went blank and his ears were buzzing.

What? According to the plot, didn’t Xu Manyue die a long time ago? How could she still be alive?

Also, isn’t it said that Xu Manyue looks skinny, malnourished, ugly and rustic? When standing next to the heroine Xu Mingyue from the city, she looks like an ugly duckling.

But the Xu Manyue in front of him was obviously very beautiful. Even if she was wearing the most ordinary brown homespun clothes and had a big belly, it still couldn't hide her beauty.

If people like this are considered ugly, then there are no good-looking people in this world.

Shen Minghua forced herself to suppress the emotions in her heart. No, maybe it was just a coincidence or just a coincidence.

Thinking of this, she quickly calmed down, forced a smile, walked to Xu Manyue's side, and continued to ask casually.

"Third sister-in-law, can you tell me about our family situation? I have lost my memory and don't know anything."

"By the way, what about that guy Lu Huaiyuan you're planning to introduce to me? What's his family situation like? If it's suitable, we can meet him."

If it was really what she thought, then Xu Manyue must still like Lu Huaiyuan. When she mentioned Lu Huaiyuan, this man would definitely react abnormally.

Shen Minghua thought that she had lost her memory and others would not suspect it, so while asking, she secretly observed the changes in Xu Manyue's expression.

Little did she know that Xu Manyue already knew her origins, but just didn't expose it.

She told Shen Minghua some basic information about the Shen family.

As for Lu Huaiyuan's situation, she picked out some of the basic information she knew and told them.

Anyway, these things can be found out by asking anyone, there is nothing to hide.

After hearing this, Shen Minghua's heart began to pound. She was completely certain that she had transmigrated into a book.

The good news is that she remembers the general plot of all the books.

The bad news is that the plot of the book has completely collapsed. The hero and heroine are not happily together, the vicious female supporting role is not dead, and it is different from what is described in the book.

After spending a day or two together, she didn't think Xu Manyue was vicious at all. Instead, she thought she was very beautiful and a nice person.

Seeing Shen Minghua's pale face and dazed expression, Xu Manyue couldn't help but ask, "Minghua, are you okay? I see that you don't look right. Do you want to go and rest for a while?"

Hearing this caring voice, Shen Minghua quickly came back to her senses. She pursed her lips and shook her head, "No, Third Sister-in-law, I'll go to work first."

After saying that, she ran away in a hurry.

Xu Manyue stood there, watching her leaving, and shook her head slightly.

If it weren't for the excuse of amnesia, Shen Minghua would have been suspected long ago. However, even with the excuse of amnesia, she didn't disguise herself well.

It seems that after she has figured out the situation, she will marry herself off quickly to prevent others from discovering her abnormality.

However, she really couldn't understand why Shen Minghua later chose to marry Lu Huaiyuan and become his stepmother.

After all, being a stepmother is not easy, and Lu Huaiyuan is not a suitable candidate.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye and the weather gradually became colder.

The crops in the fields are ripe, and the busy farming season has officially arrived.

The team leader has already said that tomorrow is the first day of work. We have to get up at six in the morning and start work at seven in the morning to harvest the crops in the fields as soon as possible.

After dinner in the evening, the old lady made some arrangements for the busy farming season.

"Starting tomorrow, we must all strive to get full work points so we can have a good year-end and not suffer hunger and hardship this winter."

"This time, Qingqing doesn't have to stay at home to cook. She has to go to work too, and Xiaoshan is the same."

"And you, my eldest daughter-in-law, you'd better stop slacking off on your work for me. Losing face is a small matter, but the work points are a big one."

Mrs. Shen blinked and said, "Mom, you forgot, I don't have to go to work. My current task is to take care of the piglet. I have already received a few months' work points."

"But besides taking care of the piglets at home, I can also cook for you. You can eat when you get home from work."

After hearing this, even Lin Luoxia couldn't help but envy Wang Zhaodi.

The women's director's words sound nice, but we still have to go to work together, and there is no salary. Especially now that the brigade is short of workers, anyone who is able to work must go to work together.

Pig farming is a good job. You can earn work points all year round. Although the work points are not high, you can get them every day. When you slaughter the pigs at the end of the next year, you can also get a share of the meat.

The old lady also looked at her eldest daughter-in-law a few more times and said, "Okay, during the busy farming season, you will be responsible for the meals and housework at home."

"The third daughter-in-law is pregnant and now she is inconvenient to move. As her sister-in-law, please take better care of her."

"Baozhu is young, so she doesn't have to go to work. But if you have anything to do, you can let her do it."

A girl of eight or nine years old is also a large part of the labor force. How can we let her sit idle?

Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother."

"I will definitely take good care of the family."

After the old lady finished explaining the matter, she looked at Shen Minghua and said, "You have to go to work with me too. You can't eat for free."

"When the busy farming season is over, you should find a man to marry. If you have a man you like, you can ask around in advance. When you have some free time, you can find the perfect time to marry him."

Hearing about finding a partner, Shen Minghua subconsciously looked at Xu Manyue, "Okay, I will."

In fact, she also thought so. It was not a good thing to stay in the Shen family all the time. The Shen family didn't like her very much. Even when the food was distributed, she always got the least, which was not even as much as Shen Baozhu's rations.

And you have to work every day and be despised and scolded by others.

It’s better to get married early.

After the meal, Shen Minghua began to clean up the dishes. When she came out after finishing everything, she found that the Shen family had all gone back to their rooms.

She lived in the woodshed, where there was no bed at all, only some straw. It was not a place to sleep at all.

But Shen Minghua also knew that she was not a member of the Shen family, and it was already good enough that the Shen family could give her a place to live and a meal to eat during this famine year.

Thinking of what the old lady mentioned today about finding a partner, Shen Minghua hesitated for a moment, walked to Xu Manyue's door and knocked on her door.
