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

He Wenyan knew that the amount of silver his mother had given to the second wife was less than ten taels, so he had to borrow money from a loan shark.

He Wenliang also found a way to borrow some money. Everyone knows that various holiday gifts need to be prepared from the end of the year to the New Year, and the expenses at this time of year are several times higher than usual. The two brothers can't just play dumb and let the second house bear all the expenses.

In this way, He Wenyan could not pay back the money he borrowed the first time, so he borrowed a second time. Although the amount was not as high as the thousand or two thousand of others, it took him two years to pay back a few hundred taels with his own salary.

This made him very anxious, but he didn't dare tell anyone. He went to the Mo family twice, thinking of bringing his wife back when she was better. Taking care of the household chores was secondary, his main priority was to tell his wife the truth.

Since the shop is closed anyway, could he sell it first to pay off the debt and then buy a shop for his wife when he makes money?

Husband and wife are one. If a wife helps her husband overcome difficulties, the husband will respect his wife more in the future.

Although he had good intentions, every time he went to the Mo family, the wife was always staggering. Although she was fatter and had a rosier complexion than before, she said that she was suffering from dizziness this time and would feel dizzy as soon as she stood up.

His father-in-law was polite and enthusiastic towards him, and always filled the carriage with dried vegetables. He remembered that what his mother said were worthless things.

But he couldn't ask such a wife to follow him back to Beijing.

Mo Yuanji always sneered after his son-in-law left. He felt happy when he saw his son-in-law anxious and unable to speak.

He also thought that if his son-in-law asked him to borrow money, he would lend it to him, but he had to write a promissory note as a document, and there would be interest.

He wanted to let his son-in-law know that he should not think that the Mo family had the right to help him in the past. This time, he wanted to let him know that the Mo family is the Mo family, and your He family is the He family. If you have the ability, don't bow your head and ask to borrow money.

The son-in-law came to him several times but never said anything to him, and he still thought that his son-in-law had some backbone.

But when his granddaughter came back and told him something, he was so angry that he fell backwards. His son-in-law wanted to save face and have backbone in his wife's family. If he solved the problem himself, he would still admire him and think that his son-in-law was capable.

But the son-in-law pretended not to let Jingyi know that he had borrowed money at high interest. The naive Jingyi hurried back to find her mother for help.

Is this a way to take advantage of his daughter's unwavering devotion to him?

Mo Yuanji remained calm. He wanted to see if his daughter would still have eyes only for the He family like before.

When Mo Chenxi heard He Jingyi say that He Wenyan had actually borrowed money from a loan shark, she knew without a doubt that He Wenyan had deliberately let Jingyi know. Her thoughts were the same as Mo Yuanji's. Was he trying to take advantage of the fact that the original body was a love-brained person who would devote himself to the He family?

Just like some modern women who, after getting married, use their parents’ hard-earned money to please their in-laws, and then together with their in-laws, complain that their parents don’t give them enough.

He Jingyi was young and didn't understand her father's twists and turns. She said with a sad face, "Mom, what should I do? How about I borrow money from my grandfather?"

She felt a little regretful for having given all the money to her grandmother. She had never imagined that her father would lend money at high interest rates. How many families had been ruined by borrowing money at high interest rates?

She could harden her heart and ignore the mess her grandmother made at home, but she could not let the He family go down the same path of destruction.

Mo Chenxi said, "Mom is here, don't worry, just stay in Mom's room first while I go see my grandparents."

She went to the front yard and directly told them about the situation of the He family and how He Wenyan was being harassed for borrowing money at high interest rates.

Of course Mo Yuanji knew that his son-in-law was being forced to pay off his debts. It was he who had given instructions to the loan sharks. He didn't know what his daughter meant by that. Was she going to ask them to borrow money?

Old Mrs. Mo looked at her husband and didn't dare to speak.

Mo Chenxi directly stated her plan.

"If the child's father knows and Jingyi finds out, I can't just ignore it. It just so happens that I planned to sell the shop openly before. I wanted my eldest sister-in-law to ask the Zhou family to buy the shop. From now on, the shop will be my eldest sister-in-law's property. Now I just use this excuse to shut He Wenyan up. Don't count on my shop to subsidize the He family anymore."

There was surprise in Mo Yuanji's eyes.

Mo Chenxi said embarrassedly, "Dad, I don't have any money on hand. I sold the shop at the market price and paid back the money owed by Jingyi's father. I want to keep the rest. I will still be in charge of the He family in the future, but I won't do those thankless tasks like before.

"I'll sell the shop to my eldest brother's wife. I'll provide the recipe, and I'll take 40% of the profits, 64%. My parents will keep all the profits for me, and they won't give them out unless my life or the life of my four children is in danger."

She said this to reassure the Mo couple, so that they wouldn't think that her way of making money would just give it to the He family.

Mo Yuanji said: "You are the one who cares about the mess of the He family. You have no money, and you still want your body..."

Mo Chenxi smiled and said, "It's too difficult for one person to support a broken ship. How about relying on Jingyi's father? It's good enough that he doesn't hold us back. I think his official career will only stop at the fifth rank. Maybe one day he will offend someone and be squeezed out.

"The third son of the He family, He Wenliang, is quite good. He's smart and knows what's right. I'm going to test him a few times. If he succeeds, I'll find a way to have him support the He family. After all, it's impossible to divide the family while the old lady is still alive. We can't rely on the eldest daughter-in-law to scrape together the money to support the whole family. If He Wenliang can support the He family, I can relax and not have to work so hard."

It was the first time that Mo Yuanji saw his daughter speak so clearly and make all the arrangements properly. He nodded in appreciation.

"What are you going to ask him to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I have to take it one step at a time. I went back to live with my parents because I wanted to let the He family continue to be in chaos, so that they would know that their good life in the past was due to their daughter-in-law, not the man in charge. I just didn't expect Jingyi's father to add such a good firewood."

Mo Yuanji smiled. He was relieved to find that his daughter looked like him. After all, she had been to the underworld and understood things.

Seeing her father's smile, Mo Chenxi knew that her father supported her decision.

"I didn't tell my parents before because I didn't know what kind of dim sum I could make. Now I'm almost there. Dad asked me to find a shop in the county town, preferably one that's ready-made, so I can catch up with the wave of holiday gifts before the New Year."

Old Mrs. Mo looked at her daughter with even greater joy. Her daughter had not neglected her two younger brothers, unlike what her husband said, who did not care about her mother's home.

My daughter was previously tied up in the mess of the He family and had no time to spare, so she didn't have time to take care of her parents' home.

Mo Chenxi lowered her voice and said, "The dim sum shop is still small, and the profit is small. My daughter wants to open a restaurant and also make wine. Does Dad know anyone in the capital who can help with this?"

Mo Yuanji was shocked. He thought his daughter was already a big deal just by opening a dim sum shop, but he didn't expect that she also wanted to open a restaurant and make wine?

The profit from wine business is huge, but most people can't do it. It's not easy to get wine vouchers. I didn't expect my daughter to be so generous.

"Take your time and open the dim sum shop first. We can deal with the other things in a few years."

He didn't want to discourage his daughter.

Mo Chenxi said this in advance because he wanted to give the two elders of the Mo family a hope, to get promoted and make money. If they couldn't become officials, then they could just make money. Who doesn't want to leave a family business for their children and grandchildren?
