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

Chapter 282 Duan Hongmei

Duan Hongmei was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. She turned to look at Xu Xiangyang and asked him what was going on.

It was the first day that she, the new sister-in-law, met her sister-in-law. Even if she disliked her, there was no need to give her such a cold look.

Fortunately, she spent several dollars to buy a bag of peach cakes as a gift.

Xu Xiangyang smiled at her reassuringly, then looked at his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time, paused, and said, "Man Yue, are you still blaming us?"

Xu Manyue didn't look at him, and said lightly, "We have long since severed our relationship, and now we have no relationship at all. Please don't come to my house and disturb my life again."

Actually, if you think about it, there is nothing strange about it. After all, everything has passed, she has a new life, and everything is moving in the direction she hopes for.

Xu Xiangyang was silent for a moment. "You have reason to blame us. Back then...back then, my mother and I really didn't let you down."

"But, Man Yue, you are my biological sister, and blood ties cannot be severed by a piece of paper."

"I came back this time not only to see my mother and Xiangbei, but also to see you. If you have a bad time in the Shen family, you can always come to me and your sister-in-law. We will support you."

After all, in the entire Qingshan Brigade, there is no family with a worse reputation than the Shen family. How could they treat a daughter-in-law well if she has no support from her natal family and her husband is not at home?

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen became unhappy, put her hands on her hips and spat.

"Bah, Xu Xiangyang, you son without a butt, what are you talking about? What do you mean you're not having a good time in the Shen family?"

"Humph, you're just talking nonsense. When my third sister-in-law got married, she was as skinny as a bamboo pole, with a sallow complexion and dry hair. She didn't look like an eighteen-year-old girl at all."

"Look at her! Look how much she has changed from before. Not only has she gained weight, but she's also become prettier. There's no prettier girl in this whole town."

"How dare you say that she has suffered a bad life in our Shen family."

Xu Xiangyang looked at Xu Manyue and wanted to say something, but found that he had nothing to say.

At the beginning, they really didn't treat her well. To be honest, her life after marrying into the Shen family was indeed much more comfortable than her life in the Xu family.

Thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "Man Yue, are you still blaming us and refusing to forgive us?"

She was only a few months older than Xu Mingyue, but they always forced her to give everything that belonged to her to Xu Mingyue on the grounds that she was the older sister and should give in to her younger sister.

She must have felt very aggrieved at that time.

It was all Xu Mingyue's fault for disguising herself so well that she fooled all of them and made them hurt Man Yue.

Xu Manyue said calmly, "I did blame you, but we have no relationship now, and I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Please leave my house now and don't disturb my life anymore."

Everything in the past is gone, and everything in the present and the future is what she cares about.

Duan Hongmei, who was standing by, also understood that the relationship between the two siblings was not good. From the sound of it, it seemed that Xu Xiangyang was being unfair to his sister-in-law.

In this situation, as the eldest sister-in-law, she should naturally stand up.

So Duan Hongmei reached out to hold Xu Manyue's hand and affectionately put the peach cake into her hand.

"Sister, don't be so picky with your brother. After all, you are siblings. There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between siblings. Just talk it out if there's any misunderstanding. We're all family, there's no need to make such a fuss and let outsiders laugh at us."

"From now on, I will treat you as my own sister. If you want to go to the city for a few days, you can stay at my place and I will take you to the department store."

Xu Manyue still did not reach out to take the peach pastry. Instead, she avoided Duan Hongmei's pulling and took a few steps back.

"Some things can't be let go just by thinking about them. Xu Xiangyang is not my brother. Please leave and don't come here again."

"If you come here again next time, I will personally ask the captain to kick you out."

As they were pulling, the peach cake fell to the ground with a snap.

For a moment, the surroundings became quiet. Duan Hongmei and Xu Xiangyang looked at the peach cake that fell to the ground, stopped what they were doing and said nothing more.

Duan Hongmei's expression was particularly grim. "Xiangyang, let's go. You only recognize her as your sister. She doesn't take you, her brother, and me, her sister-in-law, seriously."

"This bag of peach cakes is just like a country bumpkin. I want to eat it but I can't. What a waste."

Xu Xiangyang looked at Xu Manyue, wanting to say something but stopping himself, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He turned to Duan Hongmei and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear, "I'm sorry you've been wronged today. My sister is ignorant, so don't bother with her."

"She has had this temper since she was a child."

Duan Hongmei snorted coldly, and her expression softened slightly. "Okay, then for your sake, I won't bother with her. But in the future, if you want me to be affectionate and affectionate to her like I was today, that's impossible."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Although Xu Manyue didn't hear what the two were saying, just by looking at their expressions, she knew that Xu Xiangyang was in a lower position in the relationship between husband and wife, and he needed to hold his new wife in high esteem everywhere.

It seems that the days of fleeing famine are not easy.

After Xu Xiangyang coaxed Duan Hongmei, he looked at Xu Manyue, then at her belly, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Man Yue, what I said is always valid. If you are unhappy in the Shen family, you can come to me and your sister-in-law. We will support you."

Originally, this time, he came to make up for forcing Man Yue to marry in a substitute marriage. He wanted to take her away from the Shen family and find her a man in the city so that she could live a good life in the city.

Unexpectedly, she was pregnant, so it was impossible to find a man for her.

After saying this, Xu Xiangyang took Duan Hongmei away.

The peach cake that just fell to the ground is still there, but it must have been broken into pieces.

"Sister-in-law, I want to rest. Please help me throw away the things on the ground." Xu Manyue glanced at the things on the ground.

Mrs. Shen looked down at the bag of peach cakes and opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw Xu Manyue's cold and distant eyes, she immediately swallowed the words that were about to reach her throat.

But the regret revealed in his eyes could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.

This is peach cake, which is rarely eaten by people in the city, and yet my third brother's wife threw it away so easily.

After Xu Manyue returned to the house, Mrs. Shen picked up the peach cake on the ground and opened it. A fragrant and sweet smell spread out, and the peach cake inside was not completely broken.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't help but take a piece and put it in her mouth and started eating.

Well, it’s delicious, really delicious, even better than eggs.

Since the third brother's wife doesn't want it, she can just eat it secretly. No one will find out anyway.
