Chapter 277 Not good
Shen Minghua was stunned for a moment. She thought Xu Manyue would be angry and might tell her directly that Lu Huaiyuan was a bad person, but she didn't expect that this person would say that.
She hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and said, "Third sister-in-law, tell me...what do you think if I choose Lu Huaiyuan?"
Xu Manyue glanced at her and was silent for a moment. "Have you met him?"
She really couldn't understand why this person had to choose Lu Huaiyuan. Was it because he was the male lead and because he had a child?
Under Xu Manyue's gaze, Shen Minghua, for some reason, gradually lowered her head, not daring to meet her gaze. "Yes, I have seen her."
Today at work, she almost tripped over a stone and it was Lu Huaiyuan who saved her.
If I have to marry a man in a short time, why can't it be Lu Huaiyuan?
He is the male protagonist. Even if he is in a low period now, as long as he can hold on, it is definitely better than marrying an ordinary country man.
Another point is that Lu Huaiyuan already has a child. If she marries him, she won’t have to have a child. She just needs to raise the child.
She doesn't like having a child at all, but she really wants one. The best way is to become a stepmother and become a mother painlessly.
As for Xu Mingyue, Lu Huaiyuan doesn't like her at all now, and the two of them have not yet obtained a marriage certificate. As long as she marries him, it will be considered her first marriage in legal terms.
The only thing that made her feel guilty was Xu Manyue in front of her.
After all, in the book, Xu Manyue likes Lu Huaiyuan very much. Although she is married now, it is not easy to give up on someone you like.
Xu Manyue frowned slightly and decided not to interfere in the matter anymore. As long as Shen Minghua got married, this matter would have nothing to do with her.
"After all, this is your marriage, so you can decide for yourself."
Shen Minghua was stunned for a moment, "Third sister-in-law, you... aren't you angry?"
Xu Manyue looked at her, really not understanding what this person was thinking.
"Why should I be angry?"
What does this have to do with her? Why is she angry?
Shen Minghua reacted quickly. Perhaps because Xu Manyue got married, she put aside her feelings for Lu Huaiyuan.
But it’s better this way, she won’t feel guilty towards her.
"I'm sorry, Third Sister-in-law, I said the wrong thing. You should take a rest first. I'm going back now."
"After the autumn harvest, I will marry myself off as soon as possible."
After saying these two sentences, Shen Minghua's mood was no longer as depressed as before. She turned around and went back to her residence.
Xu Manyue looked at her back as she left, and hoped that this person would leave the Shen family as soon as possible.
Whether it's getting married or anything else, it's fine.
In a blink of an eye, the grain in the fields was almost harvested. The members of the Qingshan Brigade looked at this year's harvest. Although they were exhausted, they still couldn't help but get excited.
However, someone suddenly sighed, "Although we managed to grow enough grain this year, after paying the public grain tax, there probably won't be much left."
Those who are destined to starve will still starve, but at most they will not starve to death this year.
The voice was very small and weak, but for some reason, everyone present seemed to hear it.
Public grain must be paid, even if it means eating coarse grain. After paying the public grain, seeds for next year's planting must be left, and the rest can be distributed to them.
The grain has been harvested and the autumn harvest is completely over. We just have to wait for the grain to dry and pay the public tax in a few days.
Everyone can take a break for a while.
After work on the last day, the old lady and her family returned home before dark.
The dinner table.
Shen Minghua glanced at everyone in the Shen family, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and said to the old lady, "Aunt, I... I have found a partner, and I will marry him the day after tomorrow."
Xu Manyue didn't even raise her head and ate her meal silently. At this moment, everyone's attention was on Shen Minghua, and no one noticed her movements at all.
Mrs. Shen was delighted. "Who, how much gift does he plan to give?"
That’s great! This burden is finally leaving. Maybe there will be a betrothal gift. After all, this burden is still living in their Shen family.
The old lady looked at Shen Minghua and said, "Tell me about it. If he's the right person, it would be better to marry him sooner rather than later."
There is a severe famine now and people are almost starving to death, so there is no need to make do with weddings.
In ordinary families, the woman simply brings a small bag to the man's house, and they are considered to be together. As for the marriage certificate, most people will not go out of their way to get it.
Shen Minghua subconsciously glanced at Xu Manyue, then lowered her head and said shyly, "You also know that person. It's Lu Huaiyuan, whom my second sister-in-law wanted to introduce to me before."
As soon as these words came out, the old lady's chopsticks fell to the ground. She frowned and said coldly, "Are you sure you want to marry him?"
She has lived for most of her life, and she can tell what kind of people they are at a glance.
What's more, Lu Huaiyuan had a very bad reputation in Qingshan Brigade. Not only did he steal seeds, but he also had a son and a woman with whom he had an unclear relationship.
Who would be willing to marry a good daughter to a man like that?
Lin Luoxia thought it was good, but seeing the old lady's obviously unhappy face, she didn't say anything. She just followed Xu Manyue's example and lowered her head to eat in silence.
I have to say that this third sister-in-law is extraordinary. She can eat without changing her expression even in this situation.
Shen Minghua bit her lip and nodded, "Yes, I'm sure."
During the busy farming season, she carefully observed Lu Huaiyuan and Xu Mingyue.
These two people have no feelings for each other at all, and they don't live together. Theoretically speaking, they are not husband and wife.
Although she didn't know what happened, since there was such a good choice as the male protagonist in front of her, she would naturally choose him.
The old lady's face turned even uglier. "Have you agreed with him that you'll marry him the day after tomorrow?"
When someone gets married, they set the wedding date privately without first discussing it with the elders in the family.
From this point of view alone, Lu Huaiyuan doesn't care about Shen Minghua at all. He probably just wants to find a woman to take care of his son and nephew.
Shen Minghua nodded, "Yes, it's settled. I'll go directly there the day after tomorrow."
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. These were difficult times, even getting food was hard. She didn't plan to ask for anything, just a marriage certificate, nothing else mattered.
When Mrs. Shen heard that someone came over directly without asking for anything, she became anxious and poked Shen Minghua hard between the eyebrows with her hand.
"You stupid girl, you don't want anything, are you stupid?"
"You are a virgin, and seventeen is the prime of your youth. Lu Huaiyuan is already in his twenties, and not only is he involved with other women, but if you marry him, you will have to take care of his son with another woman, as well as his nephew."
"With their family's financial situation, you'd suffer nothing but hardship if you married into their family, and you actually don't want anything."
"Did you really hit your head? You used to be quite calculating, how come you suddenly became so stupid?"
Xu Manyue looked up at Shen Minghua, that's right.
How can it not change if this person changes?
But seriously, since she has made up her mind, we might as well let her be.
Shen Minghua felt even more ashamed after what Mrs. Shen said, but she still didn't think there was anything wrong with her choice.
If possible, she would like to marry someone better, but Lu Huaiyuan is already the best man she can meet.
