Chapter 280 Open
Mrs. Shen looked at the basket eagerly and asked cautiously, "Third sister-in-law, please lift the cloth covering it and let me see."
"I promise not to tell anyone."
Xu Manyue glanced at her and lifted the cloth on the basket. "These are the eggs my second aunt saved for me. She said they would help me build up my body."
This matter cannot be concealed, so it is better to make it known openly.
"Oh my god, there are so many, almost dozens, your second aunt is really generous to you."
When Mrs. Shen saw the full basket, her eyes widened and she exclaimed in surprise.
Not to mention in years of famine, even before the famine, this basket of eggs would be a lot. If a family gave such a valuable gift, the relationship must be special.
When she was pregnant, she had never seen eggs, let alone egg shells, from her parents' home.
Xu Manyue nodded, her uncle and aunt were indeed willing to spend money on her.
"Third sister-in-law, tell me, what's wrong with me lately? I feel pain here and there, and I don't look good. Oh, look, my chest hurts again."
"It's a pity that I have such a bad life. I wanted to get some good things to replenish my body, but there is nothing. Woo woo woo, Third Sister-in-law, why do I have such a miserable life? I can't even eat an egg. I almost forgot what eggs taste like..."
Mrs. Shen stared at the eggs in the basket in Xu Manyue's hand, covering her chest and crying out in pain.
There was no sign of weakness in his tone, but rather a hint of excitement.
It has been more than a year and almost two years since Xu Manyue married into the Shen family. She knows what her sister-in-law is planning without even looking.
Anything else would be fine, but these eggs were saved by her uncle and aunt with great difficulty to nourish her body, so how could they just give them to others?
Xu Manyue pretended not to understand what she meant. She lowered her head and first covered the vegetable basket with a cloth, and then put the basket on the table in her room.
"Sister-in-law, you can't delay treating your chest pain. If it's a heart attack, it would be terrible. For your health, I'll go with you to find mother. She'll give you some money so you can go to the hospital."
"Don't delay it, it could get serious. A heart attack could even kill someone. Qingqing and Xiaoshan aren't married yet, so you can't do anything."
Mrs. Shen's face froze. How could this person not understand?
She didn't really have chest pain, she just wanted to eat something good to replenish her body.
There are so many eggs, what's wrong with giving her one? My third sister-in-law is really stingy.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen became angry. She simply stopped pretending and spoke directly to Xu Manyue.
"Third sister-in-law, you know that these days, almost all the eggs in the house have gone into your stomach. The rest of us haven't touched any of them at all."
"You look like you've almost recovered. Why don't you give me an egg to try? I haven't had eggs in ages. If you keep going like this, I'll probably forget what eggs taste like."
Seeing that Xu Manyue hadn't said anything, she thought something was going to happen, so she came closer and said with a smile, "Third sister-in-law, since you have so many eggs anyway, it won't hurt to give me one to try."
"Just have some pity on me. As the eldest sister-in-law, I've been busy running around for the family all year round and can't even get a good meal."
As she was talking, Mrs. Shen secretly reached out and wanted to take an egg from the basket.
Xu Manyue frowned slightly, picked up the basket, and avoided Sister Shen's hand. "Sister, are you really sick, or are you faking it?"
"If you're really sick, go to the hospital. If you just want to eat eggs, go find your mother."
"It's no use looking for me. These eggs are a gift from my uncle and aunt to my unborn child. They saved up all their money and effort to get them for me."
"Other things are fine, but I can't give you this."
Mrs. Shen curled her lips and retracted her hand. "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you saying so much?"
"I don't have to eat your eggs. Okay, okay, I've prepared the food. Come out and eat."
After saying this, she turned and left.
Xu Manyue put the basket of eggs away, locked the door, and then went to eat.
She entered the room and was about to sit down to eat when the old lady picked up a piece of pickled vegetables with chopsticks and put it into her bowl. She said to Xu Manyue, "Third wife, I heard from your eldest sister-in-law that your second aunt sent you a basket of eggs?"
Xu Manyue paused in her eating and looked up at Mrs. Shen.
"Well, that's what happened."
Mrs. Shen avoided her gaze with an unnatural look on her face. What was wrong with what she said? She didn't say anything nonsense.
Besides, since her parents sent her eggs, she should save the eggs at home for other people to eat.
The old lady's eyes softened a little and she looked at Xu Manyue. "Your uncle and aunt are really good to you. They are so thoughtful."
To be honest, this was the first time she saw in-laws take the initiative to come to their daughter-in-law's house to give her something.
The other relatives either came to ask for money, or lost everything in the family due to gambling addiction and eventually died.
Xu Manyue pursed her lips and smiled. Her second uncle and second aunt had indeed treated her no differently than their own daughter since she was a child.
In this world, she only has her second uncle and his family.
At this time, Lin Luoxia had almost finished eating. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
"Mom, I have some things to deal with in the brigade, so I'm leaving first."
The old lady was silent for a moment, then called her, "Wait, are you going to deal with the Lu family's affairs?"
Lin Luoxia was not surprised that the old lady knew about this. She nodded and said, "Well, Shen Minghua went directly to the Lu family yesterday and spent the night there. After Xu Mingyue found out about this, she went there to make a fuss early in the morning."
"As the director of women's affairs, I naturally have to deal with this matter promptly."
When Shen Lao Er heard these people gathered together, he frowned and said, "You should stop interfering in this matter as soon as possible and let them solve it themselves. Solve it however it needs to be solved."
"Even though you're the director of the women's department, don't take everything on yourself. Let them handle it on their own."
Mrs. Shen was in a bad mood today and wanted to say something to everyone she saw. She rolled her eyes.
"Second brother, what you said is wrong. Your wife is the director of the Women's Department. If these matters are not her responsibility, then who is?"
"Besides, Shen Minghua is at least somewhat related to our family. How can we let those outsiders bully her?"
"Mom, Third Sister-in-law, don't you agree?"
Lin Luoxia was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the old lady who had been silent and Xu Manyue who had hardly spoken.
She had a rough idea in her mind, and she smiled and nodded, "If it is really those people who bullied the beautiful girl, I will naturally deal with it fairly."
The old lady waved her hand to interrupt her, "Okay, why bring this person up for no reason? Since Shen Minghua has already gone to the Lu family, she is their Lu family member. What does it have to do with our Shen family?"
