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

When He Wenyan heard his mother talk about dividing the clan, he looked at her sadly.

"Mother, does obeying you in everything make you a filial son? Then go and sue me for being disobedient and unfilial. Sue me for not obeying you and giving all the He family's wealth to my uncle, for not listening to you and taking a second wife, for using my wife's dowry to pay the interest on the shop, for not asking my father-in-law to arrange a position for my brother-in-law, and for not having the ability to embezzle the court's money like others.

"Mother, why don't you blame yourself for giving birth to a son who is capable enough to marry the daughter of a third-rank official? Why don't you blame yourself for marrying my father instead of a third-rank official? Why don't you blame yourself for having a lot of money in your family and not having to rely on your daughter-in-law's family to have a lot of money?

"Mother, you gave birth to a useless son like me. What do you want me to do? Only if I give my life back to you will you stop calling me an unfilial son!"

He Wenyan shouted out the last two sentences with tears in his eyes.

When had Mrs. Jiang ever seen her son screaming so ferociously? She shuddered and took a step back.

"When has mother ever blamed you? Mother did this for this family, for you and your brother. How long can mother live? Isn't it for your own good? In the end, everyone blames me. What did I gain? Your father passed away early, and I raised you all with great difficulty. Who did I do this for? Why is my life so hard? My child's father, do you see? This is our good son..."

She didn't dare to cry as much as she did just now, crying so sadly.

Old Madam He patted He Wenyan's back gently. "My dear nephew, I know and understand that you have suffered so much over the years. I don't blame you. You don't have to tell your mother. She is confused and doesn't understand. Okay, go back and have a rest. Your mother has me to talk to her and someone to teach her. She won't be so confused. You should have a good rest. You still have to go to the government office tomorrow. This family depends on you. Don't collapse."

She helped He Wenyan walk out.

Everyone at the door moved away. Mo Chenxi looked at He Wenyan, who was walking unsteadily with empty eyes.

In fact, I feel a bit sorry for him. He has disobeyed his mother many times, so Mrs. Jiang has so many complaints about her son.

However, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. He Wenyan failed to discipline himself and his mother at the beginning.

Madam Xue scolded Wang Huilan for ten years. When General Xue came back, he married his sister-in-law to his brother-in-law. Madam Xue didn't say a word and gave Wang Huilan a dowry as her adopted daughter. She said she was not forced but willing to do so.

This shows that General Xue was able to convince his mother and make her accept it willingly. Mrs. Xue was much more powerful than Mrs. Jiang, but she was still completely controlled by her son.

How did He Wenyan do it?

He deserves what he has now.

Only then did the people who heard it outside know why Mo Chenxi's dowry shop was sold, because He Wenyan borrowed money at high interest.

It’s because of subsidizing the family expenses and subsidizing the Jiang family.

He Wenpu's heart trembled. Fortunately, his wife took over the housekeeping after his stepmother passed away, otherwise he would have to borrow money at high interest.

He was worried again. With his stepmother back, his second wife would not be able to afford it. He tried to find a way to get his wife to hand over the account book and stop taking on the responsibility.

He Wenliang smiled bitterly, brother, this... is what you deserve.

He Shanluo felt sorry for his father and hated his grandmother for the first time.

Cao Yue'e sympathized with her mother-in-law. No wonder her mother-in-law figured it out after a serious illness. The mother-in-law even exploited her own son, let alone her daughter-in-law?

No wonder her grandmother asked her to keep the dowry hidden, saying that it would be taken out to save the child you gave birth to, and it would not be your turn to take the dowry as everyone else had their own lives.

This will make it even clearer that the mother-in-law should give the gifts to them quickly, otherwise the grandmother-in-law will force the father-in-law to give the gifts to the Jiang family.

The farce ended when Old Lady He helped He Wenyan out.

When He Wenliang entered the room, Mrs. Jiang saw her youngest son and started crying again. He Wenliang was not the eldest brother, so he said, "Is what my eldest brother said wrong? You blame me and my eldest brother for being incompetent, but I envy Mr. Qiu Sanye. My parents left him countless fortunes, his sister married the Prince of Weixing, and my mother married my second sister to a seventh-rank official. As his brother-in-law, shouldn't I also benefit from it?"

Mrs. Jiang felt aggrieved by what her eldest son had said just now and wanted her youngest son to comfort her, but when she heard her youngest son talking back at her like that, she became furious again.

"Get lost! You two are trying to piss me off to death. Other sons are asking for imperial edicts for their mothers, so why don't you ask for a first-rank imperial edict for your mother?"

He Wenliang said, "Who can you blame for your son's incompetence? I've always complained about my eldest brother, and now people call me old lady, isn't it all thanks to my eldest brother? How can I not be satisfied? You gave your heart to my uncle, my cousin. Believe it or not, if my cousin had become capable, he would be filial to his parents, not to his aunt."

Mrs. Jiang rolled over and over again, and He Wenliang went out.

Mo Chenxi felt so happy.

Only the He family can do this. From now on, Madam Jiang will finally have someone to deal with her.

Even though Madam Jiang's face has been ripped off today, she will not be ashamed. She will still make trouble. She hasn't met He yet, and she will make a fuss when she meets her.

However, since Old Mrs. He wanted to use the He family, she had to help. Otherwise, she would not bother to take care of these trivial matters.

When Mrs. He sent He Wenyan back home, she saw that he lived in the study, which was not very big. The He family was not very prosperous, and there were concubines in every room, so how could he live there?

She shook her head. No need to ask, it was all because of her cousin's wife that she wanted to make her daughter-in-law upset.

What a stupid woman who ruined her children and grandchildren.

Old Mrs. He comforted her nephew, saying that the He family had a promising future, Shanluo had a good master, and her grandson Shanqiao was also the hope of the He family.

He Wenyan's eyes gradually lit up, and he said ashamedly: "I made my aunt laugh at me. I just couldn't help myself."

"What's the joke? We are all family. I am happy that your family is doing well. As our cousin, you are even happier that our Shanqiao can pass the imperial examination. So, you have to cheer up. Just refuse whatever your mother says. Don't ever think that refusing is unfilial. There is no such thing as filial piety. If you tell others about it, you will be laughed at by others. My aunt is a woman. She can't talk about big principles, but she knows that a good daughter-in-law brings prosperity to three generations. You have married a good daughter-in-law, so don't let your children's mother down."

He Wenyan said solemnly: "No, I have always respected the child's mother, and we have always loved each other. Last year, my wife fell ill and couldn't stand the shock, so I moved in."

Mrs. He said, "That's good. The biggest fear of a couple is separation. As a husband, you should be more considerate. That's what you should do."

She couldn't say too much, after all, she had just arrived and didn't understand the situation. But looking at Mrs. Mo, she didn't look worried about the man at all. Even when her nephew acted like that just now, Mrs. Mo didn't come in to persuade him.

If Mo Chenxi knew that Old Lady He thought of her this way, she would sneer at him.

Persuade? If you don’t add fuel to the fire, you’re just pitiful for He Wenyan.

She was eager to watch the fun and see He Wenyan being scolded as an unfilial son by his mother, to whom he had been filial for more than 20 years.

If Madam Jiang dared to sue her son for being disobedient and unfilial, that would be a real relief. Then she should ask He Wenyan, "Didn't you say your mother raised you with difficulty and that you should be filial to her? Not only are you filial yourself, you also expect your wife to be filial, and yet your mother accuses you of being unfilial!"

Isn’t that scene awesome?
