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

Chapter 288 Crisis

When Xu Manyue went in, she saw Mrs. Shen supporting an old lady who was pale and unconscious.

She was so panicked that she looked up and saw two people coming in, and spoke hurriedly.

"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, mother has passed out and I can't wake her up no matter how hard I try."

She was almost scared to death just now and thought the old lady was dead. Fortunately, she was still breathing.

But even so, she was still very scared.

Xu Manyue supported her increasingly heavy waist and walked quickly over to take the old lady's pulse. After a careful examination, her complexion gradually became worse.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Shen was so frightened that her hands and feet were shaking. "Third... Third sister-in-law, don't scare me. Is mother okay?"

This family has always been supported by the old lady, otherwise it would have broken up long ago, or they would have gone out to escape famine and seek a way to survive like those people.

The famine was about to end and life was getting better day by day. The old lady hadn't even had time to enjoy her life yet, so why did she collapse?

Lin Luoxia also came over, "Third sister-in-law, mother...is everything okay?"

Xu Manyue carefully felt the pulse, her expression becoming more serious. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, hurry up and go find my eldest brother, second brother, and Xiaoshan. Mother's condition cannot be delayed any longer."

"It's not something I can control. If it's too late, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Now most of the men in the Shen family are working outside, preparing to pay their taxes.

Mrs. Shen was so frightened that her face turned pale, she stammered and her words were incomprehensible.

"Third... Third sister-in-law, don't scare me."

What does it mean to not delay? No...it can't be what she thinks...

Xu Manyue frowned and her tone turned cold. "Sister-in-law, go find someone quickly. Now is not the time to ask these questions."

"Go find someone and take Mom to the county hospital. I'll take care of her here."

Lin Luoxia glanced at the unconscious old lady on the ground, lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes, and said, "Okay, Third Sister-in-law, we'll go call for help right away. I'll leave this place to you."

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you must call her back quickly. Mother's condition is very critical and we can't delay any longer."

Although her medical skills are limited, she can still tell whether the patient's condition is serious or not.

This time, the old lady is really in danger. If she delays...

Thinking of this, Xu Manyue felt confused and depressed. She held the old lady's hand.

"Mom, aren't you looking forward to the baby in my belly? Please wake up soon, the baby will be born in a few months."

"You have to see the birth of the child with your own eyes..."

The old lady was still unconscious and had no reaction at all. Her face was pale, her lips were pale, and her breath was very weak, as if she would die in the next second.

He was fine at noon today, how come he became like this in the afternoon?

Xu Manyue took her pulse and found that she was so angry that all the hidden injuries left over from years of hard work came out at once, causing her to become like this.

Could it be that he was thinking about Shen Lanhua's death again...

Thinking of this, Xu Manyue became even more worried and kept watching over the old lady, fearing that something might happen to her again.

……

the other side.

After leaving home, Mrs. Shen and Lin Luoxia went directly to the threshing ground to look for someone.

But when we got there, we didn't find anyone. After some inquiries, we learned that they had gone with the team leader to pay their grain tax.

It will take some time for him to come back.

Mrs. Shen was so anxious that she was like an ant on a hot pot, almost crying. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said, "Second brother and sister-in-law, what should we do now?"

There are basically only a few strong laborers in their team, so naturally they have to go together to pay the public grain.

Therefore, there are almost no men in the brigade now, and all the men have to go and pay their public grain.

Lin Luoxia was silent for a moment and shook her head.

Seeing that she had no other options, Mrs. Shen panicked completely and cried uncontrollably with tears and snot.

"Mom, oh my god, why did this happen on this day? What should we do..."

Her husband will definitely kill her when he comes back.

"Second brother's wife, you usually pay more attention to it. Think of a solution quickly." Sister Shen held Lin Luoxia's hand and cried.

Lin Luoxia shook her head slightly, sighed, and said, "Sister-in-law, paying the public grain is a strenuous job. Now all the men in the brigade who can work are doing the public grain work together."

"We can't just run to the commune and call them back now. There's definitely not enough time."

"I can't think of any solution to this problem."

Mrs. Shen's body stiffened. "Then... then we can only let mother wait?"

My third brother's wife said that time cannot be wasted, which shows that it is indeed dangerous. They have already spent a lot of time looking for someone. If they delay any further, the old lady will not be able to hold on.

Lin Luoxia remained silent, as if she agreed with this.

"No, that's absolutely not possible. The Chairman said that we women can hold up half the sky. Second sister-in-law, come on, let's send our mother to the county town together. I really don't believe that the two of us can't send an old lady."

Mrs. Shen raised her hand to wipe away her tears and pulled Lin Luoxia home.

"Sister-in-law, are you sure?"

Lin Luoxia was completely stunned, and subconsciously looked up at the woman who was pulling her and running forward.

Should we say that Wang Zhaodi is stupid or dumb, or that she is too kind?

The old lady was not very nice to her eldest daughter-in-law. She thought Wang Zhaodi would give up by default, but she didn't expect that she actually wanted to take her with her to send the old lady to the county town.

There are no ox carts in the brigade now. If we really want to send someone to the county town, we can only rely on manpower to pull the cart.

The road from the brigade to the county town is so far and bumpy that even a grown man would find it difficult to pull someone to the county town.

Wang Zhaodi really surprised her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are all family. Although Mom has a bad temper and likes to scold people, to be honest, she has been pretty good to us. We should naturally treat her well."

Mrs. Shen pulled her home and told her what was in her heart.

A complicated look flashed in Lin Luoxia's eyes. She had been a sister-in-law to this man for so many years. Wang Zhaodi was originally just stupid and foolish, so why is she so kind now?

What a pity, she wanted to be kind and a good person, but she didn't want to.

"Ouch, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I twisted my ankle." Lin Luoxia took the opportunity to step on empty air and fell to the ground. She lowered her head and touched her swollen ankle, and her eyes became red.

"Sister-in-law, what should I do? I'm afraid... I can't go with you to send mother to the county town. It's all my fault. I'm the one who's dragging you down."

Mrs. Shen looked at Lin Luoxia's red and swollen ankle, her body completely stiffened, her heart sank, and tears fell down.

"Then...what should I do? Mom is still waiting..." The discomfort in her heart surged out, her nose felt sore, and she could no longer control her emotions.
