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

Chapter 159 Nervous

Until I heard the child's voice getting weaker and weaker.

Xu Mingyue finally came back to her senses, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, quickly picked up the child, and knelt down in front of Aunt Xu, crying and begging with red eyes.

"Second Aunt, Second Uncle, since I am also your niece, I really have no other choice if you can't find a good match for this child you adopted."

"Grandpa...his body was already cold at midnight yesterday."

"No one in the Xu family cares about me. I'm raising the child alone, and I'm really desperate. I've been using my own blood to feed the child these past few days. The child is so hungry and keeps crying. It doesn't matter if you ignore me, just adopt the child..."

Everyone present was stunned.

What, Old Man Xu is dead?

Xu Manyue was slightly startled, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was normal.

After all, he is old and has to take care of Xu Manyue and her son, and there is not much to eat.

Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu felt a little empty and sad.

The old couple of the Xu family have always favored the eldest wife and the youngest son. People like them who are caught in the middle are basically ignored and often bullied like workhorses.

Even though they are allowed to go now, it does not mean that the harm they have suffered in the past has disappeared.

Uncle Xu looked at the woman kneeling on the ground holding the child and sighed.

"Xu Mingyue, please go. We will not adopt the child. We are a family of four and it is very difficult to survive. Wei Min and his brother have been outside digging grass roots and looking for food since this morning."

"We don't have the ability to adopt this child. You should take the child and go find his biological father."

Xu Mingyue felt as if struck by lightning, her heart went cold, and despair drowned her like a tide.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she gritted her teeth.

"Second uncle...you are my real uncle, how could you be so cruel as Xu Manyue and watch someone die without helping..."

She has asked everyone she can for help. If she had no other choice, she would never ask them for help.

Second Aunt Xu rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, "You realize how pitiful the child is now. Why didn't you feel pity for the child when you had one before you even got married?"

"Under the current circumstances, why didn't you consider the child when you gave birth to him without caring about anything?"

"Now that the child is born and has suffered with you, you're only now feeling sorry for him. It's too late!"

"If you ask me, it's truly pitiful for a child to have irresponsible parents like you. If anyone is to blame, it's you. Don't put all the blame on us."

Xu Mingyue collapsed to the ground completely powerless, holding the child tightly in her arms. The humiliation in her heart surged into her heart. She had never suffered such an injustice in her life.

Even in her dreams, when she married into the Shen family, no one had ever bullied her like this.

She has already begged so much, what else do these people want from her?

"Okay, you two are all capable of helping me, but no one is willing to step forward to help me. So forget it. I will have nothing to do with you from now on."

Xu Mingyue held the child and slowly got up from the ground. She looked up and her eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, finally stopping on Xu Manyue's face.

"Maybe in the future, things will change. I hope you won't have to ask me for help one day."

After saying this, she staggered away, leaning on a crutch in one hand and holding the child in the other.

Xu Manyue glanced at her gradually disappearing figure and pursed her lips. Based on her understanding of this person, she estimated that this time when she returned, she would probably look for Lu Huaiyuan.

But after living a new life, she knew better than anyone what kind of person Lu Huaiyuan was.

Xu Mingyue said that he loved her, but this was actually wrong.

That man loves no one, he only loves himself the most.

If a woman places all her hopes on such a man, she will fall sooner or later.

Xu Mingyue had already fallen into his trap, but she still hadn't seen it clearly until now, or maybe she saw it clearly but just didn't want to admit it.

……

After returning from his second uncle's house, Xu Manyue spent almost the next few days reading books. In the blink of an eye, it was the day to go to the commune to take the exam.

When the old lady heard about this, she was so excited that she took Xu Manyue's hand and touched it gently.

"In our family, you two are the most promising. On your first month, do your best to take the exam. If you pass, I will reward you with two extra eggs every month."

That's a formal job with a stable job and a salary of more than ten yuan a month, which is far more than what a farmer can earn by working in the fields.

Xu Manyue felt warm in her heart and smiled, "Don't worry, mother, I will do my best."

Shen Jingming had already helped her find out in advance who would be taking the exam.

The original 70% confidence has now increased to 90%. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely succeed.

The old lady nodded and patiently comforted him, "Don't be too stressed. If you fail the exam, sometimes the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes."

Xu Manyue nodded obediently, it was indeed true.

The old lady was still worried that she was under too much pressure, so she turned around and said.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, go and boil two eggs for the third daughter-in-law to nourish her body. If she passes the exam, she will be the second person in our family to have a formal job."

"Second daughter-in-law, help the third daughter-in-law with her work tomorrow. You don't have much to do anyway."

Mrs. Shen was stunned by the news. She glanced at Xu Manyue. Although she felt a little sad, she was also happy for her.

"Mom, I'm going right away."

After all, she has a sister-in-law who is a teacher, so she will have face when she tells others about it later.

"Don't worry, Mom, leave all the housework tomorrow to me." Lin Luoxia looked at Shen Laoer, and her heart was slightly relieved.

Based on their understanding of the third brother and his wife, since they have said it, it means there is a high possibility of getting the position.

Now that Baozhu is in school, they no longer have to worry about anything happening.

I took two freshly boiled eggs and saw that time was running out.

Shen Jingming rode his bicycle with Xu Manyue and let her eat while rushing to the commune examination site.

Along the way, the two of them didn't speak much.

One was riding a bike to send someone off, while the other was eating quietly.

When they were almost at the gate of the commune primary school, the man's deep voice rang out, "Are you nervous?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Manyue shook her head slightly, took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands clean, then reached out and hugged the man's waist, pressed her cheek against his broad back, and rubbed it gently.

"Not bad. You've already paved the way for me. If I don't pass the exam, it would be a waste of your efforts."

A faint fragrance filled his nose, and the woman's soft body pressed against him, and Shen Jingming's body instantly tensed up.

He looked around uncomfortably, and seeing that there was no one around, he simply let her hug him.

It can’t really be said that we are paving the way.

After all, whether she can pass the exam depends on her own ability.

"Don't be too nervous. If things really don't work out, there's still that temporary job at the supply and marketing cooperative."

Xu Manyue rubbed the man's back again and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not nervous. This position will definitely be mine. Just wait and see."

Last time, he took her to see Teacher Qian, donated money to the school, and even gave her a set of exam materials and outlines. He had paved the way for her, so how could she fail the exam?
