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

Chapter 253 Stealing food

Well, this Lin Luoxia is too bold. She actually dared to steal eggs from home and eat them secretly behind everyone's back.

The mother-in-law loves the fourth child so much, but when the fourth child stole an egg, he was severely scolded.

It's exciting now.

Mrs. Shen's eyes rolled, and she simply knocked on the door. "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, why does your room smell like eggs?"

At first she lowered her voice and didn't intend to make a big deal out of it, but the people in the house probably didn't hear her and remained silent.

She became furious and the knocking on the door became louder.

"You are so good, Lin Luoxia, don't think I didn't see you stealing eggs in this room. We only have so few eggs in our house, and you two, mother and daughter, actually dared to steal them."

In the middle of the night, the noise gradually became louder, and the others were woken up. They put on their coats and came out to see what was going on.

inside the house.

Xu Manyue was also awakened by the sounds. She rubbed her blurry eyes, but did not get out of bed immediately. Instead, she lay on the bed and listened to the noise outside for a while.

After a while, everyone understood what was going on, and it seemed that even the old lady was alarmed.

Her room is close to Lin Luoxia's room, so she can hear any loud noise.

Xu Manyue pulled the quilt over her body, covered her stomach, closed her eyes and listened to the noise outside.

Ever since she got pregnant, she has always been sleepy. It's so late at night, it's probably almost one or two o'clock.

She decided not to go out and join in the fun, and just stayed in bed and slept quietly.

Unfortunately, the noise outside was getting louder and louder.

Xu Manyue couldn't fall asleep at all, and her sleepiness faded away a lot.

"Mom, I saw it with my own eyes. Lin Luoxia secretly fed Baozhu eggs. These eggs must have been stolen from home by her. You must punish her severely."

The family could only save a few dozen eggs in a month, and the old lady privately gave most of these eggs to Xu Manyue, who was pregnant.

Others can eat one at most per month.

The old lady hadn't slept well to begin with, and she had a severe headache when she was woken up in the middle of the night.

She raised her hand and rubbed her sore temples. "Alright, what's the point of making such a fuss in the middle of the night? We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."

"If it really was my second son's wife who stole the eggs from our home, I would definitely not let her off easily."

As she was talking, the old lady changed the subject and looked at Mrs. Shen, "But you too, went crazy in the middle of the night. Think about whether it is appropriate before doing anything in the future. Don't be so tactless and just want to cause trouble all day long."

Mrs. Shen was not convinced. She pouted and said, "Mom, why am I the one causing trouble? I was clearly catching a thief."

"Eggs are so precious these days, how can you let a little girl eat them, and steal them?"

Instead of giving this egg to Shen Baozhu, it would be better to give it to her son.

At this time, Shen Baozhu in the house listened to the sounds outside, curled up into a small ball, and leaned in Lin Luoxia's arms.

The delicious egg no longer smelled good, and she said weakly, "Mom, did you really steal this egg from home?"

If that's the case, she would rather not eat eggs than have her mother scolded by her family.

Lin Luoxia sighed and touched the child's head, "Baozhu, you go to sleep in the room first, and I will go out and explain it to your grandma."

Then he stood up, opened the door, and walked to the old lady, "Mom, I didn't steal the egg."

Shen Lao Er, who had been sleeping in the kitchen, also heard the noise and ran out.

He went to fetch water to irrigate the fields during the day today. He was extremely tired and slept very soundly. He ran out immediately after waking up.

"Mom, sister-in-law, Luoxia didn't steal the egg. I traded it with someone else and gave it to them, mother and daughter."

"Don't misunderstand me."

The old lady's eyes swirled between the two of them, and finally looked at her second daughter-in-law, "Is that what the second son said?"

Lin Luoxia glanced at the unshaven man, lowered her eyes and acquiesced to this statement, "Yeah."

Shen Lao Er breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could completely relax, the old lady suddenly spoke.

"Second brother, you said you traded something for something. Then tell me exactly what it was, with whom, and when and where did you do it?"

"It just so happens that I'm going to visit you tomorrow and ask about this.

Shen Lao Er's body stiffened, but soon returned to normal. He walked to the old lady's side, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Mom, look at what you said. Would I lie to you? Don't think about this anymore."

"Don't you want to go see Lao Si? I happen to be free tomorrow, so I'll go with you to see Lao Si."

"What do you think?"

The old lady gave him a cold look and said, "Alright, go back to sleep."

This bastard son even knew to use the fourth child to please her.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen became anxious and quickly ran up to hold the old lady's hand, "Oh, mother, why can't you see clearly? The second son is clearly taking the blame for his wife. Don't be fooled by him."

"We don't have many eggs at home to begin with. If we let this go easily, then... then I might as well steal some eggs myself. Since you don't care anyway, I might as well get one and try it myself."

The old lady shook her hand off and snorted coldly, "Alright, alright, it's so late at night and you're making such a fuss. How can others sleep?"

"That's it for now. Don't mention it again. Go back to bed."

inside the house.

Xu Manyue heard the noise outside gradually fading away, and knew that the matter was probably resolved.

But she couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning, still feeling very energetic.

I looked at my watch and it was just past three in the morning, so it was still early before dawn.

Then she thought of the two piglets and the two old hens that laid eggs as rewards from the system.

The chickens rewarded by the system will lay two eggs every day, which means four eggs a day.

Perhaps because she had suffered from hunger before, Xu Manyue did not want to eat these two old hens that lay eggs now, as she felt it was a waste.

She really wanted to raise both chickens and the piglets, but unfortunately, living things could not be raised in the system space, and she could not take them out and raise them at home.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Xu Manyue's head, and she thought of her second uncle's house.

Since she couldn't raise one, she secretly gave a piglet and an old hen to her second uncle and his family.

As for the remaining little pig and the old hen, they were put directly into the chicken coop at home while everyone was asleep.
