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

Chapter 317: Talk (Part )

In the kitchen, Xu Manyue and Shen Dasao heard the voices of Shen Laoer and Wang Xiancao through a wall.

Until the two left, Mrs. Shen could no longer control her mouth and started to complain to Xu Manyue crazily.

"Third sister-in-law, listen to what the second brother is saying. Although his wife did something wrong, they haven't divorced yet, and he brought his outside woman back home and said those shameless words openly."

"If this were your eldest brother, I would definitely have a fight with him."

Xu Manyue raised her head and glanced towards the kitchen door. Shen Laoer was indeed wrong in what he did. If he really intended to marry Wang Xiancao, he should at least divorce Lin Luoxia first.

What's going on? He brought the woman outside back home before getting divorced.

I don’t know what Wang Xiancao is thinking. With her looks and family background, she can obviously find a good man to live with. Why does she have to get entangled with Shen Laoer, who is already married?

She even had an abortion for Shen Lao Er.

Not long after, Mrs. Shen prepared the meal. Since the old lady needed to stay in bed to recuperate, her meals were brought to her room.

The eldest Shen and Shen Xiaoshan went up the mountain to chop firewood, the second Shen just left, and Shen Qingqing and Shen Baozhu were both at school.

Therefore, the only people eating at the dinner table were Xu Manyue, Mrs. Shen, and Lin Luoxia.

When Lin Luoxia came over, Mrs. Shen and Xu Manyue had just sat down and were about to start eating. When they saw her coming, Mrs. Shen paused in her eating and subconsciously curled her lips.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be my second brother's wife."

"By the way, my second brother's wife, why isn't the second brother at home? Normally, the two brothers should have gone up the mountain together to chop firewood today, but in the end they couldn't find him, so they had to ask my little Shan to go with them."

"You two are really the same. One deliberately sprained his ankle to kill his mother, while the other simply stayed away from home and made his nephew do the work for him."

"And then there's the matter of you causing Mom to be hospitalized. Because of you, our family spent over 150 yuan, draining out all the savings your eldest brother and I had accumulated over the past decade."

"The third brother and his wife paid out 65 yuan, but you guys, you clearly have more than 30 yuan, yet you only paid 30 yuan."

Mrs. Shen expressed all her dissatisfaction of the past few days in one breath, and her anger finally subsided a little.

These days, she was worried about the fact that she and her husband contributed less, fearing that the second and third sons and their spouses would ask for an equal share of the money.

Therefore, she was willing to stay in the hospital to take care of the old lady, just to spend as little as possible.

But in the end, all of this was caused by Lin Luoxia. If it weren't for her, the old lady wouldn't have had to go to the hospital and wouldn't have spent so much money.

Lin Luoxia sat at the dinner table, picked up some pickles with her chopsticks, and faced with Mrs. Shen's sarcasm, she said nothing and had no expression, just ate the cornmeal porridge in her bowl.

After finishing her meal, she looked up at Xu Manyue and said, "Third sister-in-law, I'll come to your room to find you later."

After saying this, Lin Luoxia stood up and limped back to the house.

Xu Manyue paused while eating. What did Lin Luoxia want her to do?

Mrs. Shen was also stunned. She leaned close to Xu Manyue's ear and asked in a low voice, "Third sister-in-law, what does this woman want from you?"

The relationship between these two people is not good at all. Yesterday, when Lin Luoxia went to the hospital, she even secretly provoked the relationship between her and her third brother's wife.

They said that the third son and his family paid so much money for the old lady's hospitalization, but the eldest son only paid eight or nine yuan.

The third brother and his wife are already figuring out how to make them share the money.

At first she was quite angry when she heard this.

After all, the third brother and his wife have jobs, but she and her husband don't. If they really split the cost equally, they probably won't be able to come up with the money in their lifetime.

But when she knew what Lin Luoxia had done, she suddenly understood that this was an attempt to sow discord between her and her third brother's wife.

Xu Manyue shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

However, she always felt that it was not a good thing.

Mrs. Shen thought about it and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Do you think she will come to sow discord between us?"

When the matter of provoking relations was mentioned, she immediately told her what Lin Luoxia had said to her privately in the hospital.

As she spoke, she was also paying attention to Xu Manyue's expression. Seeing that her expression did not change when the matter of money was mentioned, Mrs. Shen felt relieved.

"Third sister-in-law, do you think she won't use this matter to sow discord between us again?"

Xu Manyue pursed her lips. It turned out that Lin Luoxia had said those words to her that night in order to sow discord between her and Shen Jingming and his wife, as well as Shen Lao Da and his wife.

No wonder she was considering Mr. and Mrs. Shen and Shen Jianping. It turned out they were waiting for her here.

"Sister-in-law, besides telling you this, did she say anything else?"

Mrs. Shen thought for a moment and said, "I didn't say anything else."

She was now terrified to deal with someone like Lin Luoxia, fearing that she would trick her if she wasn't careful.

My third brother’s wife is still the best.

Xu Manyue had an idea in mind after hearing this. If what Lin Luoxia did to the old lady this time had not been exposed, she might have succeeded in provoking the relationship between their third and first wives.

Mrs. Shen, who was standing by, looked at Xu Manyue's face, which became more and more solemn. The worry that had just been put at ease gradually rose again.

"Third sister-in-law, you...what's wrong with you?"

Wouldn't this person want all of them to share the money?

No, absolutely not.

If the old lady was hospitalized due to illness, then the money could be shared equally, but the fact is not like that at all. Why should they clean up after what Lin Luoxia did?

Xu Manyue retracted her thoughts and shook her head, "Nothing, just thinking about something."

The sixty-five yuan for the old lady's medical treatment was paid by Shen Jingming.

If he wanted to split the cost equally, he would have definitely mentioned it to the Shen brothers before leaving. Since he didn't mention it, it means he doesn't have this idea for the time being.

Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Third sister-in-law, this time you and your wife paid a total of 65 yuan for mother's medical treatment. Don't you and Jingming have any thoughts in your mind?"

According to her, this matter should be handled by Lin Luoxia and the second brother.

Anyway, the second sister has a way, and maybe she can really get the money together to return the eight or nine yuan that she and her husband have saved over the years, so that Xiaoshan can leave it for him to get married in the future.

Xu Manyue shook her head. "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Jingming and I won't ask you, brother, or Jianping for the money."
