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

Chapter 357 Country Women

Xu Manyue was about to refuse.

Mrs. Shen's face turned ugly instantly. She stood up to block Ge Dahua's gaze towards the bowl of cabbage stewed with oil residue, rolled her eyes and sneered.

"Oh my god, I've lived for decades, and this is the first time I've seen someone so shameless. Don't you see what time it is out there? You actually have the nerve to ask others for food. These days, no one is rich, and everyone is short of food."

"You're so shameless! You just open your mouth and want to take other people's food. No wonder you've been lying here alone for so long without anyone coming to take care of you."

"I think you are definitely the unpopular type at home."

Ge Dahua's face turned red and blue, and she pointed at Mrs. Shen with trembling hands.

"You...you're being too harsh. I've been starving all day and was so hungry I asked you for something to eat. If you don't give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you bullying me like this?"

These two people are too stingy. In her opinion, such people are destined to give birth to daughters all their lives and will never be able to hold their heads up in front of their husbands and their in-laws.

Mrs. Shen became even angrier. She was about to continue speaking when Xu Manyue stopped her, shook her head at her, and then looked at Ge Dahahua.

"Sister-in-law, you're pregnant, and we don't know you. If you just ask us for food, what if something happens after eating it? Then we'll have good intentions but end up doing something bad."

"For your safety, we still dare not give you food. What's more, our meals are all bought with money and tickets from state-owned restaurants. If you eat them, we will have nothing left."

"If you want to eat, you can ask someone to buy it for you. We've been hungry all day and we need to eat now."

After saying that, Xu Manyue didn't even look at her. She picked up the spoon beside her and lowered her head to drink the soup.

"Sister-in-law, the food is getting cold, you should eat it quickly."

Ge Dahua was so angry that she was shaking all over and couldn't utter a word.

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes at Ge Dahua again and started eating the steamed bun in her hand.

It’s true, the steamed buns are delicious, much better than the thin cornmeal porridge at home. One is equivalent to two large bowls of porridge. The most she got at home was only half a bowl of porridge.

It can't be compared with this steamed bun at all. It's still more comfortable to be with my third brother and his wife.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen lowered her head to look at the warm cotton-padded jacket she was wearing, and then at the steamed bread in her hand. Her heart warmed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

What a great day.

She finally understood that as long as she followed her third brother's wife obediently, her life would not be too bad.

She made up her mind. Since her third sister-in-law asked her to raise pigs well, she would definitely work hard this time when she returned. She would roll up her sleeves and work hard. Maybe she would get some unexpected benefits.

At the same time, a familiar mechanical sound sounded again in Xu Manyue's mind.

Wang Zhaodi's transformation progress increased by 3%, and the current total progress is 78%. Considering the host's current needs, she will be rewarded with a painless fertility pill.

Xu Manyue was slightly startled, looked up at her sister-in-law who was sitting next to her and giggling, and fell silent.

She didn't do anything, but this person actually gained transformation value on his own?

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what this person was thinking, so she simply ignored it. It was a good thing anyway.

Xu Manyue withdrew her thoughts and, while drinking her soup, began to check the painless childbirth pill that the system had just rewarded her. As the name suggests, it is a pill that can be taken a few hours before childbirth to ensure that there is no pain during childbirth.

It really meets her current needs.

After staying in the hospital for two days, there was still no movement in my stomach. Instead, the young pregnant woman in the next bed went into labor first. She was pushed into the delivery room from morning until evening, but she still didn't give birth.

Xu Manyue looked at the bed next to her and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Although she knew that it might take several days for some people to give birth, she had never thought about this happening to herself.

Now, after watching others give birth for a long time, she gradually began to put herself in their shoes and felt some emotional ups and downs in her heart.

Mrs. Shen came back from getting food and saw this scene. She immediately guessed what Xu Manyue was thinking.

It's not that she's smart, but that she's experienced it.

So she walked over, set the food aside and opened it, and said, "Third sister-in-law, this is how women give birth. It will be fine after giving birth. Don't be too nervous. Just watch your body. Maybe you will give birth as soon as you go in."

"When I gave birth to Qingqing and Xiaoshan, it took less than half an hour before they slipped out like eggs, one in front of the other. After the pain subsided, I felt almost nothing. I rested in bed for two or three days before I could go out to work."

"Nothing at all."

Xu Manyue's eyes flashed with envy, "Sister-in-law, you are in such good health."

Giving birth to two children was like a piece of cake. When my eldest sister-in-law gave birth, there was no one at home. She gritted her teeth and gave birth to them all by herself. After giving birth, she used scissors to cut the umbilical cord.

After just two days of rest, he started working in the fields. His body is in such good shape.

Mrs. Shen brought a bowl of egg custard and fed it to Xu Manyue's mouth, raising her chin and smiling proudly.

"Of course. When I was young, I was the most capable and strong girl in the village, and many people wanted to marry me."

Whether in that era or this era, people have to look for capable wives. She was a popular candidate for wives back then.

A thin and weak woman like Lin Luoxia is not as popular as her.

Xu Manyue smiled and opened her mouth to eat the egg custard she fed her.

Ge Dahua in the next bed was awakened by the smell of eggs. She sniffed, opened her eyes and looked up to see Xu Manyue and Shen Dasao again.

When she saw it was the two of them, she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Can you guys eat less smelly food? Don't you know that other people haven't eaten yet? The ward is filled with a strong smell, it's awful."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen's temper instantly lost its temper. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "Wait a minute, Third Sister-in-law. Let me teach that old woman a lesson first, and then I'll come back to feed you."

As soon as the words fell, before Xu Manyue could react, Mrs. Shen rushed to Ge Dahua's bedside, pointed at her nose and cursed.

"I think your head was caught in the door. You paid for hospitalization, and my sister-in-law also paid for hospitalization. When it's time to eat, she's a pregnant woman about to give birth. Where else can she eat if not in the ward?"

"You complain about the smell of eggs. I see you're jealous because you don't have eggs to eat. Look at you, you're about to give birth, and there's no one to take care of you. If you want to eat, you have to go out and get it yourself. It's really miserable."

Ge Dahua was so angry that she was speechless. Her chest heaved violently. "You...you are really going too far. What's the difference between you and those country women?"

Mrs. Shen's face darkened even further. She put her hands on her hips and straightened her back. "I'm just a country woman, so what? Are you still looking down on me?"

"I didn't eat or drink anything from your house. What are you yelling about? If someone doesn't know you, they'd think you have a mental problem."
