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

Chapter 292 Blade

Shen Minghua walked around the black market and tried to sneak in several times.

But when he saw the pitch-black surroundings and several people wrapping themselves tightly, looking around cautiously.

She suddenly didn't dare to go in, just when Shen Minghua was about to turn around and leave.

A man pulled her into a corner from behind, covered her mouth tightly, and pressed a cold knife against Shen Minghua's waist.

A cold light flashed.

Shen Minghua's body stiffened, his whole body became cold, and his hands and feet became weak and uncontrollable.

She wanted to shout for help, but her mouth was covered and she couldn't make any sound.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?" A low voice sounded coldly, without a trace of emotion.

Hearing this familiar yet cold voice, Shen Minghua was completely stunned.

She subconsciously wanted to turn around and see the man behind her clearly, but when she really saw him, her heart felt even colder, sour, swollen, and a little uncomfortable.

I couldn't help but feel my eyes red.

"I...I just wanted to buy some food for my two children. I didn't follow you here on purpose."

Lu Huaiyuan's gaze fell on Shen Minghua's face. Her face was sallow and her hair was dry and yellow. She obviously looked malnourished.

In a trance, he seemed to see the familiar person from the past.

Because she had been saving food rations for her family for a long time, Man Yue was also malnourished like this, becoming more and more ordinary, even ugly, especially when she had a younger sister who was prettier and fairer than her by her side.

It seemed that everyone couldn't help but compare the two of them, and finally came to the conclusion that Xu Mingyue was indeed beautiful and gentle, not at all like Man Yue who was sarcastic and selfish.

Gradually, even her fiancé began to favor the more beautiful Xu Mingyue.

Lu Huaiyuan recalled the past in silence. He didn't know why his eyes fell on Xu Mingyue when he and Man Yue were childhood sweethearts.

Could it be because Xu Mingyue looked more beautiful than her at that time?

It is clear that Man Yue was the most beautiful girl in the entire Qingshan Brigade in the past, but she was not so dazzling because of malnutrition.

Shen Minghua noticed that Lu Huaiyuan was distracted. She was slightly startled and blinked, not understanding why this man suddenly became like this.

Until, Lu Huaiyuan slowly touched her face, his expression dazed, and murmured softly, "Full moon..."

"Hmm?" Because the man's voice was too low, Shen Minghua couldn't hear what he said at all.

Lu Huaiyuan quickly came to his senses, looked down at the woman, his eyes dark and his whole body went cold.

He put away the knife in his hand, pulled Shen Minghua and quickly left the vicinity of the black market.

"You don't have to worry about the food at home. It's best not to tell anyone what you saw today, otherwise, you know the knife in my hand."

Shen Minghua's nose felt sore, but she suppressed her emotions and nodded, "Okay."

Although she knew that the man didn't like her, she never thought that he actually didn't believe her and wanted to attack her.

Lu Huaiyuan turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes even colder. "There's no need for you to act so aggrieved. You were the one who got close to me first, and you were the one who initiated this marriage. I've already given you what you wanted. You shouldn't be too greedy."

"From now on, as long as you behave yourself, I will give you all the respect you deserve."

Shen Minghua fell silent. Yes, she had forced this marriage. Before marrying him, she also knew that he didn't like her.

But why, she still felt uncomfortable.

"it is good."

Lu Huaiyuan looked at the man again and quickly looked away.

This person doesn't look like Man Yue at all. He must be crazy to think they are a little similar.

"After you go back, you just need to take care of the children and clean up the house."

"Don't worry about the rest, I'll take care of it."

Shen Minghua followed the man closely, secretly looked up at his angular profile, and nodded obediently.

……

Qingshan Brigade, Shen family.

Shen Xiaoshan went out to look for Lin Luoxia. Almost an hour or two had passed, but he still hadn't returned.

Shen Baozhu had finished her homework long ago. She sat obediently next to Xu Manyue and looked outside again and again, but still didn't see anyone.

"Aunt, why hasn't my mother come back yet, and my cousin hasn't come back either."

Normally at this time, she would have gone to bed long ago, waiting to go to school the next day.

But her mother never came back, and she couldn't sleep at all.

Xu Manyue lowered her head and touched her head. "Baozhu, you still have to go to school tomorrow. Go to sleep first. Your mother should be back soon."

Shen Baozhu looked up at Xu Manyue and blinked, "Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Okay then, I'll go back to sleep."

After comforting the man, Xu Manyue looked at the empty house and felt lonely for the first time.

Before, the Shen family was always noisy, sometimes even late at night.

Now she is the only one left, and it feels a bit lonely.

Xu Manyue sat for a long time and felt a little tired, so she simply got up and walked around in the yard.

As soon as I walked into the yard, suddenly, the door opened.

Shen Xiaoshan walked in with Lin Luoxia, who had disappeared for most of the day.

Xu Manyue looked at the injury on Lin Luoxia's foot and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine. I just fell twice and rolled down the slope. I can't move. No one was passing by there."

"Fortunately, Xiaoshan came to find me, so I was able to save him." Lin Luoxia turned to look at Shen Xiaoshan and smiled gently.

"By the way, how is mom now? Is she okay?"

Xu Manyue shook her head. "I'm not sure about this, but fortunately, Mom should be at the hospital, and my eldest and second brothers have also rushed over. If anything happens, they will definitely come back and tell us in time."

Lin Luoxia lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in them, "That's good. I was planning to take my mother to the hospital with my sister-in-law, but unfortunately I was not up to the task and sprained my ankle."

Xu Manyue lowered her head to observe Lin Luoxia's injuries. Not only did she sprain her ankle, but one of her legs was obviously broken. It was normal that she couldn't move.

"Second sister-in-law, your injury is not light. Why don't you go to the health center tomorrow?"

Recently, a new educated youth came to the team. It was said that he knew some medical skills, so he was arranged to work in the clinic by the team leader.

Lin Luoxia lowered her head and looked at it, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and take a look tomorrow. When I can move again, I want to go to the hospital to see how mom is doing."

"Mom has become like this all of a sudden. I am so worried."

Xu Manyue sighed, "I want to go see my mother, but unfortunately I'm pregnant and can't walk that far."

Suddenly, Shen Xiaoshan said, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to see Grandma."
