Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

On the tenth day of the ninth month, Aunt Sun gave birth to a daughter.

Mo Chenxi asked Mother Wang to instruct the servants who served Aunt Sun to do their best.

Before that, in May, the concubine of He Wenpu, the second wife, gave birth to a son. So all three brothers of the He family had new children this year.

Logically speaking, the He family has the following conditions: all three brothers have concubines, and the second wife has a concubine. This is thanks to Madam Jiang.

She let her own son take a concubine because she loved him and wanted to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law. She let He Wenpu take a concubine purely to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

He Wenyan felt a little embarrassed, seeing that his wife didn't look unhappy at all, and of course didn't look very happy either. No one would be overjoyed when a concubine gave birth to a child out of wedlock.

He saw that the lady carefully instructed the servants to take good care of Aunt Sun, and also instructed the kitchen to arrange for Aunt Sun to prepare food for the confinement nanny.

He became calm again, thinking that this was what a good wife should be like.

This time when he came back, he didn't go anywhere else and slept in the study.

Mo Chenxi treated Aunt Sun as an employee who was pregnant and giving birth. In modern times, no boss would treat pregnant women harshly. If there is, I will expose you in the short video.

Mo Chenxi feels like she has two jobs now, one open and one secret, one full-time and one part-time.

In public she is Mrs. He, but secretly she is a businessman, not a merchant's wife, because a merchant's wife is the merchant's daughter-in-law, but she is not, she herself is a businessman.

She only provides dim sum recipes at Wufangzhai, and the same will be true for future restaurants. It is not convenient for her to show up in person, so it is just a secret job, or a part-time job.

The restaurant will be like this in the future.

At present, the restaurant has not been built yet, so it is idle. She plans to let her two daughters learn martial arts from her eldest sister-in-law Zhou.

After He Wenyan left, she took her two daughters back to her parents' home.

Mo Yuanji had no objection to what his daughter proposed. Old Mrs. Mo said that since her eldest granddaughter was about to get married, she should hurry up and embroider her wedding dress, because some wedding dresses would take one or two years to embroider.

Mo Yuanji said, "Just follow your daughter's instructions."

Mo Chenxi explained to her mother, "She has been learning needlework before. After marrying into the Zhao family, they have servants, so she won't have to do complicated things. Madam Zhao isn't picky about her daughter-in-law. I just wanted her to learn some boxing and kicking, at least to keep her healthy."

She talked about how He Wenyan's concubine gave birth to a daughter on September 10th.

Old Mrs. Mo asked nervously, "Is it a difficult birth?"

"No, it was a natural birth."

Old Mrs. Mo no longer opposed her granddaughter learning kung fu, thinking that her daughter had thought that women would eventually have to go through the stage of childbirth, and a good body would reduce the risk.

When the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth, she gave birth smoothly before the midwife could even tell her to push. Every time the second son's wife gave birth, she was scared to death.

Old Madam Mo said readily, "Then you might as well let them both live here. Jingyi has been in charge of the household for such a long time, and the Wanzong clan is still in good health. Besides, after she gets married, her mother-in-law is in good health, so she won't be allowed to manage the household right away. She can learn from her mother-in-law for a few years."

Mo Chenxi said, "I think so too. I will let Bao do this for the He family from now on. The monthly income and expenditure of the public treasury is only this much. Even if she wants to be greedy, she can't take more than a few taels. Just consider it as her hard work fee."

Mrs. Mo agreed very much. "Yes, you can give her a small subsidy every month. It will save you a lot of trouble. Don't underestimate this housekeeper. They are all trivial matters. It is these trivial matters that are the most tiring. I can't understand why those mothers-in-law don't give up their power. I took care of the family for a year or two after your eldest sister-in-law came into the family. I saw that she was ready, so I handed it over to her immediately. When your younger brother gets married, let the eldest sister-in-law take care of the family. After all, when I am no longer around, they will have the affection of working together, and we can interact more often after the family splits up in the future."

Mo Chenxi smiled and heard her mother teaching her carefully.

The last time she came back, she heard her mother complaining about her uncle and aunt, but when it came to her own two sons and daughters-in-law, she hoped that they could live in harmony and support each other in the future.

My father is the best-off in the Mo family. He also has an uncle and two aunts, all living in the countryside. Fortunately, my father has high emotional intelligence and handles household chores in a way that makes everyone seem happy on the surface. Inside, everyone has some bumps and bruises, but it's never as chaotic as some other families.

As the father is doing well and is the eldest son, he must have paid more, which makes the mother complain.

In the future, as the eldest son, Mo Xinzhi will have to pay more, and Zhou will complain.

But the mother hopes that her daughter-in-law can do what she cannot do.

This is human nature.

Mo Chenxi thought that the four children in the He family were not her biological children, and she also hoped that He Shanluo and his wife could take better care of their younger siblings.

In this way, the two daughters were allowed to live in their parents' home. Zhou originally admired her elder sister-in-law and received benefits from her. She did not complain about her nieces living at home, but was very happy instead.

She was eager to get close to her elder sister-in-law, and she was eager for her children to get close to her elder sister-in-law and nieces. Her elder niece would marry into an official family in the future, which would benefit her both financially and financially, so she happily promised her elder sister-in-law that she would never let her two nieces suffer.

After returning, Mo Chenxi called Bao and said that the family would be handed over to her from now on, and that three taels of silver would be allocated to her personally from the public treasury every month.

Of course Bao was willing. In the past, she hid behind her eldest sister-in-law and third brother's wife, and was careful in doing things. The servants looked down on her. But now it was different. When the servants saw her, they all smiled at her in a coquettish way.

Mo Chenxi knew that those who had tasted power would not give up the power in their hands, so she was willing to work hard even if she was not given subsidies.

He Wenpu was very grateful to his sister-in-law for letting Bao be the housekeeper. He did not think that he was making his wife work hard. He instructed Bao to keep good accounts, ask his sister-in-law if she did not understand something, and never embezzle public funds without permission.

Fan was not at all resentful. She had been in charge for a while and knew what it felt like. She was also glad that she had gotten pregnant and had a child and had to avoid it, otherwise her sister-in-law would definitely have handed it over to her.

She no longer wanted to do that thankless task.

Not to mention a subsidy of three taels, she would not be willing to manage the household even if it was ten taels.

Mo Chenxi met Mrs. Fan and explained to her the reason why Mrs. Bao was the housekeeper. Seeing that Mrs. Fan did not look resentful, he thought that now she finally understood that whoever is the housekeeper has to work harder.

He Wenpu and He Wenliang were both grateful to their sister-in-law, and every month they paid more than their salary to the public treasury.

The mistress Mo Chenxi had it completely easy. The farm bought by her parents had already been built. It was simple. She just had to build a wall, rooms for people to live in, and several large factory-like houses for growing seedlings in winter.

She doesn't worry about this, her father is responsible.

After she finished her housework, she planned to go to Wang's house. Since that ghost-playing incident, she had not been there, and the Wang family had not sent anyone to look for her.

She didn't know why.

Wang Jingye met Queen Mother Wang at Shuangfeng Temple. He first told her that he had asked Mrs. Mo to act out a play. He lamented that Mrs. Mo had turned the fake play into reality, and he even suspected that his father-in-law had really come.

Later he talked about the snake whip that Mo's sister-in-law took out. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he was curious after hearing his wife talk about it.

After hearing her cousin talk about the snake whip, Queen Mother Wang asked, "Can you find out where the Zhou family got the snake whip?"

Seeing her cousin's confusion, she explained, "The Ji family's collection includes books on how to smelt iron, and more than that, it also contains Taoist alchemy techniques. The reason I asked you to search the Ji family's collection wasn't for those intricate books, but for some books on manufacturing."
