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

When Madam Jiang started howling, the He family heard it.

At that time, Old Lady He was giving the banknotes to Bao. Bao heard Old Lady He say that the banknotes came from her eldest sister-in-law, who said that she was currently the housekeeper.

She understood that her sister-in-law wanted her to accept the money.

At this moment, she heard Madam Jiang's wailing. Madam He placed the banknotes on the table and said, "What a shame! This is just because there are no rules in Beijing. If this happened in Xiangzhou, if she was old and wailing every day, she would have been locked up for three days without food or water to let her wail to her heart's content."

As he spoke, he walked out.

As soon as Bao heard the old lady speak, she knew she was a powerful person, so she hurried to catch up. It would be best to see the excitement with her own eyes.

Mo Chenxi also heard her mother-in-law's wailing, thinking that her mother-in-law felt that this was her home and she could do whatever she wanted.

I just don’t know what Mrs. He, my brother’s sister-in-law, will do.

Because in ancient times, brothers were friendly and respectful to each other, and sisters-in-law also respected their elder sisters-in-law. If there were conflicts, even if you harmed me and I harmed you, brothers would not dare to resist their elder brother in person, and younger sisters-in-law would respect their elder sisters-in-law.

Mo Chenxi was curious and hurried to the front yard. Cao Yue'e followed her mother-in-law quietly, she also wanted to see it.

Mrs. Fan also wanted to watch the fun, so she handed her youngest son to his mother and quickly walked to the front yard.

He Wenpu and He Wenliang were both at home today and also hurried over, so everyone heard what Old Lady He said at the door.

He Wenpu was a little gloating, He Wenliang was ashamed, Mo Chenxi wanted to applaud, and Bao and Fan were so excited. Finally, someone dared to teach their mother-in-law a lesson and made their eldest brother feel ashamed.

Old Madam Jiang felt that this was the He family in Beijing, her territory. In Xiangzhou, her sister-in-law was always giving in to Old Madam He, but when she returned to the capital, her younger sister-in-law from the next room still disregarded the hierarchy.

She said angrily: "This is the He family in the capital, not Xiangzhou. You are also educated. I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the He family, and you are my younger sister-in-law. How can you talk to your cousin's wife like this?"

Old Madam He said, "Well, since you admit that you are the eldest son of the He family, you say you are still a member of the He family clan?"

Old Madam Jiang didn't dare to say no. She looked at her son, hoping he would say something.

Old Mrs. He didn't care about anything else. Since she was going to fire the cannon, she had to fire it clearly.

"You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the He family, and I am the wife of the He family!"

He Wenyan was surprised because he hadn't heard about this when he returned to his ancestral home last year.

Mo Chenxi was surprised, but also knew that this was to suppress Old Madam Jiang, otherwise a sister-in-law scolding her cousin's wife would always cause people to talk.

"Before I came here, the He family head designated our branch as the main branch. Why can't I, the He family's wife, teach you a lesson? You are the eldest of the He family. What have you done for the He family? Over the years, have you bought sacrificial land or donated money to the clan to build a school? Have you ever visited or repaired the graves of your ancestors?"

Madam Jiang argued, "My Wen Yan went back and gave the money."

Old Madam He sneered at He Wenyan and said, "It's not that I have to ask you, it's your mother who asked. Nephew, do you think that those you gave are the meritorious officials of the He family?"

Madam Jiang continued to find reasons to prove that she was right, "Shanqiao from your family was brought here by Wen Yan, and he lives and eats at my house."

Old Mrs. He just smiled and looked at He Wenyan.

He Wenyan, who had been kneeling, suddenly stood up, his face flushed, and said to his mother, "That's enough! Aren't you ashamed? Studying in Shanqiao is his own ability, and he lives in the school. Isn't mother hungry and thirsty in the ancestral home? Mother, please don't make things more difficult for me."

Mrs. Jiang couldn't control others. When she saw her son scolding her in front of outsiders, she slipped off her chair and burst into tears.

"This is terrible! I can't live anymore! The son I raised with so much effort wants to drive me to death and let outsiders bully me. What's the point of having a son? You might as well take a rope and strangle me to death!"

Old Madam He pointed at Old Madam Jiang and said to He Wenyan, "You, an official appointed by the imperial court, were controlled by your own mother who was throwing a tantrum? I don't know about other families, but in Xiangzhou, if there was a woman like this in the He family, they would close the Buddhist temple and chant sutras!

"The He family cannot be implicated by a foolish woman! What is filial piety? First of all, you must be worthy of your ancestors and your surname He! You are ruining the He family and bringing trouble to the He family's mother. Are you going to sacrifice the future of your descendants for filial piety? Which high-ranking official would keep such a foolish mistress? Are their sons unfilial?

"Let me tell you you're incredibly unfilial! You've brought shame upon the He family. Are you worthy of your grandfather and your father? You kneel down whenever your mother makes a scene. Do you think that's filial piety? You make your wife, children, and brothers compromise just to earn your reputation as a filial son? Have you satisfied your mother with your filial piety? She still throws a tantrum and accuses you of being unfilial!"

He Wenyan said nothing, but he felt that his aunt had touched his heart. He worked so hard to maintain this family and was so willing to compromise, but his mother actually said that he was unfilial.

He closed his eyes and tears flowed out.

Old Mrs. He said, "It's not that I'm showing off on my first day at your house. I just can't bear to see my nephew being ruined by his foolish mother!"

At this time, Mrs. He slowed down her tone and shed tears.

Mo Chenxi exclaimed inwardly, "Brilliant!"

This is a way to win the heart. She embarrassed He Wenyan like this, but if she said something that showed sympathy and approval for He Wenyan, He Wenyan would only think that his aunt was better than his mother, and that she understood him.

Mrs. He continued, "Although we are in the remote countryside of Xiangzhou, we know that you have a hard time in Beijing. Before your uncle died, he told me to leave you half of the old house. When you bring your son back to record the family tree, I will tell you that Xiangzhou is the root of the He family. If anything happens to someone back in Xiangzhou, if there is food for our family, there will be food for your family. Did your aunt tell you this when you came back last year?"

Not to mention He Wenyan crying bitterly, He Wenpu and He Wenliang outside the door also cried.

Madam Jiang sat on the ground, not knowing whether to continue rolling around or stand up on her own.

He Wenyan knelt down in front of Old Lady He, crying, "Aunt, I..."

Old Madam He pulled him up and said, "Stand up! You are a man, the pillar of the He family! Kneel to heaven, kneel to the earth, kneel to the emperor! Your mother gave birth to you, raised you, and fed you, which is filial piety. Don't kneel down at every turn in the future. A good man works hard for the country and brings honor to the family. The elders teach the younger ones, the younger ones respect the elders, and the daughters-in-law take care of the household chores. This is a proper family. How can a child be filial if his parents are not kind? Didn't your parents teach you, and didn't the books teach you? The clan leader said that if there is a foolish woman in my He family who brings trouble to our descendants, the clan branch has the right to send her to become a nun!"

Madam Jiang rolled to her feet and said, "How dare you! We will split up!"

Madam He sneered at her and said, "You yourself admit that you are a foolish woman who has brought trouble to your descendants? Branching out the clan? Your Wen Yan will go back to Xiangzhou to set up a branch clan. From now on, I will never speak nonsense to you again!"

Madam Jiang yelled at He Wenyan, "Wenyan, let's split up! From now on, we won't have any dealings with the Xiangzhou He family!"
