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

The first time Cao Yue'e saw her mother-in-law with a dark face, she knew that her great-grandmother was forced to go to the ancestral home, not voluntarily. It seemed that this great-grandmother was extremely difficult to deal with.

If it wasn't too much, my father-in-law wouldn't have sent my old mother back to the ancestral home so far away.

Her heart was pounding. She was a new daughter-in-law, and her mother-in-law wanted to make things difficult for her, so she could only bear it. Her grandmother wanted to help her, but she couldn't come to the He family to give her orders.

He Jingyi was also helpless. She had the same idea as her mother. How could her father secretly bring her grandmother back without her mother's knowledge?

Now that things are getting better at home and my eldest brother has just gotten married, my grandmother has to come back and cause a lot of trouble.

When I returned to the He family, the three brothers He Wenyan and He Shanqiao were all there.

In addition to Mrs. Jiang, there was another old lady.

Mo Chenxi first looked at He Wenyan and saw that he had an awkward look on his face, but he did not feel guilty.

This means that it was not him who arranged for Madam Jiang to be sent back.

Looking at Mrs. Jiang again, her face also looked awkward. The mother and son were really awkward.

Before Mo Chenxi could speak, the old lady smiled and said, "You are Wen Yan's wife, right? I am Shanqiao's grandmother. Shanluo's grandmother is anxious to return to Beijing. I am worried about my Shanqiao, so I followed her here. I am sorry to trouble you."

Mo Chenxi stepped forward and bowed, calling her aunt. She then introduced her eldest son and his wife and their two daughters, saying that her youngest son was still studying in the private school.

Old Madam Jiang's husband and this old Madam He's husband are half-sisters, but because their father-in-law is also the wife of two wives, they are cousins, and He Wenyan's branch has to call her aunt.

Old Mrs. He gave each of the younger generations a gift, and from what she said, it seemed that they wanted to live in the He family.

Mo Chenxi didn't know what happened in the ancestral home. Two great gods came back at once, and he didn't know whether Old Lady He was the plague god.

The younger generation left, and Mo Chenxi sat down. He Wenyan deliberately said in front of his wife, "Mom, you didn't even send me a message before you came back. It was so sudden that it scared me."

Mo Chenxi raised his eyes to look at He Wenyan, and looked at him when he said this.

Does it mean that he also doesn't know about his mother's return to Beijing?

Madam Jiang said angrily, "I'm back home, and I still have to ask you? I sent you a message, but are you going to pick me up or not let me come back? I dreamed that your father said it was too cold. Have you repaired the grave before the New Year? It snowed heavily in Xiangzhou this winter. Is there a snowstorm in Beijing? Do you sons miss your father?"

As soon as Mo Chenxi heard the old lady say this, she knew that it was indeed not He Wenyan who notified her to come back, because the old lady said this from the heart, and if she was lying, there would be obvious flaws in her words.

The three brothers and their three wives of the He family were all there. Bao lowered her head, Fan looked at this and that, and Mo Chenxi looked tired.

Old Mrs. He said, "Daughter-in-law Wen Yan, I see you are tired too. Go back and rest. I will live with your mother-in-law from now on. I am in good health and can keep her company. Don't worry, we will talk together often in Xiangzhou."

Old Madam Jiang wanted to say something, but when she saw her sister-in-law send the person away, she fell silent.

Mo Chenxi saw this and felt strange. Madam Jiang seemed to be quite concerned about Madam He. Logically, she was the elder and Madam He was her younger sister-in-law, so she should be the one with prestige, but why did she lose the upper hand?

She and Mrs. Bao and Mrs. Fan walked out. Mrs. Bao whispered, "Mother-in-law and the others had just entered the house when my sister-in-law came back. It was my aunt who sent someone back to inform her first. I think my aunt is very polite and speaks and acts efficiently. Mother-in-law seems a little afraid of her."

Mo Chenxi smiled and said, "Raising a grandson like Shanqiao is no small feat. You should arrange the kitchen and add two more dishes to each meal from the front yard. Even though they are relatives, they are also guests, so just treat them well."

Bao agreed, and Fan sympathized with her second sister-in-law. She knew that her life would be difficult in the future, and she didn't know what her mother-in-law would do next.

Mo Chenxi returned to her own yard and half-lay down, wondering what Old Lady He wanted to do. After a short rest, Mother Wang said that Old Lady He came to see her, and she hurriedly got up and went out to greet her.

Old Mrs. He came in with a mother who was holding a gift box in her hand.

"We came here in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. This is our local astragalus. You can keep it and soak it in water."

Mo Chenxi took it and thanked her, saying that this was a gift of medicinal herbs and he had something to say to her.

From what Old Mrs. He said, it seemed that her mother-in-law was anxious to come back, so she hurried along.

So she came here to explain the reason?

After Old Mrs. He sat down, she sent my mother out and said, "I've talked to your mother-in-law a few times and I know everything about your family situation."

Mo Chenxi just smiled without explaining.

"When nephew Wen Yan left, he said his mother had lived in the ancestral home for three years. She was so anxious to come back because she blamed my Shanqiao family."

Mo Chenxi was surprised, how could it be Shanqiao’s responsibility?

Old Mrs. He went on to explain, "Shanqiao wrote home a few years ago, explaining some of the situation and mentioning your family's Shanluo wedding in March. Your mother-in-law loves visiting and showing off, saying how well your family takes care of Shanqiao. It was true, and she told her to talk, but Shanqiao's mother was upset when she heard about Shanluo's wedding. She meant that since the eldest grandson was getting married and the grandmother was no longer around, there was nothing to show off about.

"So your mother-in-law is looking for excuses to come back. We were entrusted by Wen Yan to do this and we can't let her get sick. I'm of the same generation as her, so I came here with her. I'll let my talkative daughter-in-law copy scriptures for a year to teach her a lesson."

She briefly explained the circumstances of her visit with Old Madam Jiang. Mo Chenxi could hear that her mother-in-law had been causing a lot of trouble at the ancestral home, and the people there had always tolerated her because Shanqiao was in Beijing. It was because her mother-in-law spoke too harshly that Shanqiao's mother couldn't help but sneer at her. Now, her mother-in-law insisted on returning to Beijing. Shanqiao's grandmother knew that this would cause trouble for her niece-in-law, so at her age, she made the long journey to follow her and stay with her to put pressure on her mother-in-law.

It seems that it was not He Wenyan who notified his mother-in-law to return to Beijing, and this old man is not a plague god.

"Also, Shanqiao has a classmate named Xue who wants to introduce his second uncle's concubine to Shanqiao. I'm worried and would rather marry the legitimate daughter of a small family. After all, a concubine's daughter is born by a concubine. Our branch relies on Shanqiao. A man's marriage is a matter of life and death. He can't marry up just because his family is rich."

Mo Chenxi was shocked. The Xue family was a general's mansion. Even if a concubine's daughter was born, it was not certain that she would marry into the He family, a family from outside the province and with nothing. It was such an unequal match.

Another thing is that He Shanqiao was really patient and didn't say a word to our side.

It seems he is also guarding against this one.

Old Madam He explained, "Shanqiao said it, but I didn't tell you because I saw you weren't feeling well and didn't want you to worry. The Xue family was only mentioned by his classmates, and that family didn't know either. Young people don't understand the importance of being well-matched, and they think that being a good match is just like being a good husband and a bad brother."

Mo Chenxi said: "The Xue family is the residence of General Xue."

The fact that He Shanqiao wrote to his family to tell them about it shows that he is interested in taking action. Otherwise, there would be no need to tell his elders about something that is impossible.

Mrs. He was shocked when she heard this. "Could it be that the daughter of the Xue family is ill?"

After saying that, he quickly stopped talking and said awkwardly, "I mean, the difference in family background is too big."
