Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day
Chapter 20 Crazy He Wenliang
Madam Jiang felt sorry for her daughter and was even more concerned about her son's future. She hurriedly asked, "What did your second sister do?"
He Wenliang said bitterly, "Today, my boss and I went out to do some work and passed by a shop. My boss heard that this dim sum shop is very good and that reservations are required even if it's late, so let's go and reserve one. I followed my boss out of the carriage and found that it was my sister-in-law's dowry shop, and there were quite a few people gathered at the door.
"I hurried in and saw my second sister and the female owner arguing. My second sister kept saying, 'My brother is a clerk, and you, a businessman, don't take me seriously. Believe it or not, I will smash your shop.' I don't know what's going on. Why did my eldest sister-in-law's shop change hands?
"I heard people around me talking about how the shopkeeper had been apologizing at first, but it was my second sister who was getting more and more arrogant, forcing them to make her a fresh snack. A woman nearby said that your eldest brother from your mother's family was a fifth-rank official, while my master's family was a fifth-rank official, and they didn't dare let anyone destroy the shop.
"The second sister saw that everyone around her was speaking in favor of the boss. She became angry and said that the female boss didn't know which manor she had taken refuge with to open this shop. Sooner or later, someone with backing would snatch the shop away and leave her penniless. The female boss slapped the second sister in the face and sent her spinning around.
"At this time, a woman laughed at Second Sister, saying, 'Didn't you say this was your sister-in-law's dowry shop?' She paused and asked, 'Whose important mansion did you take refuge with?' Everyone in the shop burst into laughter."
He Wenyan's face turned livid, and he directed his anger at his brother, "You just let her talk nonsense?"
He Wenliang said: "I was just about to rush in to grab my second sister, but the driver stopped me. My boss had already boarded the carriage. My boss was saving my face. Should I stay here and make a fool of myself with my second sister?
"I just walked in after sending my boss off when I heard my second sister confuse right and wrong and talk nonsense. If I had heard it from someone else, my second sister would have said that they were wrongly accusing her and that they just disliked her. I'm her biological brother, so what good would it do me to wrongly accuse her?
"If I talk nonsense, say something wrong, and end up being destitute and begging for food at my doorstep, you, Second Sister, won't even give me a single bite to eat!"
He Wenliang was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead and his teeth were chattering.
When He saw that her third brother had seen her making a scene in the shop, she did not defend herself but directed the blame at her third brother.
"Are you still my brother? You saw someone bullying me and slapped me, why didn't you stand up for me? I said something wrong, but I'm your sister. I got beaten up, and you're proud of it?"
He Wenliang gritted his teeth and said, "You deserve to be beaten! If anyone says that about my wife, I won't just beat her, I'll beat her husband too!"
He stood up and walked in front of her third brother, thrusting her head forward. "Hit me! Hit me! Hit me in front of mother!"
He Wenliang clenched his fists tightly. He walked up to He Wenyan again with a proud look on her face, and stuck her head out as well. "Big brother, hit me! Let mother see that even if outsiders bully me, my own brothers and sisters can still bully me!"
He Wenyan did as she wished and slapped her hard. It was so hard that you could tell from the sound.
He covered her face, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She turned and rushed towards Madam Jiang, "Mom! My eldest brother hit me, I can't live anymore!"
Madam Jiang stood up, pushed her daughter aside, walked over to He Wenyan, and patted his arm. "She's your sister, why don't you just talk to her nicely? Why are you hitting her?"
He Wenliang sneered, "Why can't Big Brother hit her? What she said and did outside made others imply what Big Sister-in-law was like. If Big Brother didn't do anything, would he still be a man?"
Mo Chenxi gave He Wenliang a thumbs up in his heart. He was his younger brother. If he hit He, it would be against etiquette in ancient times. If the old lady made trouble with him, he could only kneel down and apologize.
He Wenyan is different. He is the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is like a father. He can teach his younger brothers and sisters a lesson.
If he didn't take action this time, Mo Chenxi would look down on him even more from the bottom of his heart.
He Wenliang was very angry this time and was no longer polite to his second sister.
"You are the troublemaker and troublemaker of the He family. How did your sister-in-law treat you? The He family couldn't afford much dowry for you when you got married. It was your sister-in-law who used her dowry money and the money she earned from the dowry shop to make up for your dowry. You think I was young and knew nothing at that time. You don't have to accuse your sister-in-law of saying anything behind my back. In our family's situation, my mother played dumb, and you followed suit? Our family was promoted to an official by our eldest brother, but who deserves the greatest credit? It was your sister-in-law!"
"Is my eldest brother's salary enough to cover my mother's snacks and pastries for a year? Where does the money come from for such a large family? It's my eldest sister-in-law who manages everything, and it's her family who helps out. If it weren't my eldest sister-in-law, would you be able to go to the shop every year to buy rouge and powder to please your in-laws?
"Is that how you say a good word about my sister-in-law in front of mother? You must have been slandering her in front of mother just now. You have no conscience, but does mother have no conscience too? Isn't it because of my sister-in-law that I can live the life I have today? Is it because of us three brothers? Is it because of my second sister?"
Seeing that he was getting more and more excited, He Wenyan scolded him harshly: "Speak less!"
He Wenliang burst into tears and beat his chest hard, "Brother, I'm so sad! You're working hard outside, and your sister-in-law almost died of illness for the sake of this family, and she had to go back to her parents' home to recuperate.
"Did the second sister come back to see the eldest sister-in-law? Did she even say hello? She said she was busy, that something was going on at her in-laws' house, and she couldn't go out. How could she go out to buy snacks at this time?
"Have you forgotten what our family was like before? You may have forgotten, but I can't! It was because my eldest sister-in-law married into the He family that I was able to continue my studies and pass the imperial examination. Why didn't I continue my studies? Should my eldest sister-in-law support all the idle people in my He family? I studied and passed the imperial examination, but a few grown men like us rely on a woman like my eldest sister-in-law?
"Mother didn't let my second brother study. Mother also knew that studying costs money. How much money did mother give to my eldest sister-in-law when she married into the He family? How much money did mother give to my second sister when she got married and my second brother and I got married? Others have no conscience, but I, He Wenliang, cannot be without a conscience!"
Mo Chenxi felt sad when she heard He Wenliang's voice that was almost shouting. Aren't all the members of the He family so heartless? There was even one person who knew the original body's hard work, sympathized with the original body's hard work, and even gave up his studies for fear of bringing trouble to the original body.
No wonder she thought He Wenliang was more qualified than He Wenyan, why did he stop at the rank of scholar?
A person who gives up his studies because he understands the difficulties faced by an outsider can be considered a person of high character.
He Wenyan lowered his head, not daring to look into his wife's tearful eyes.
He was still sobbing.
Madam Jiang was also frightened by her son's appearance and said, "Mother, you know I treat your sister-in-law like my own daughter..."
He Wenliang wiped his face, "Like a real daughter? When my second sister got married, my mother told her to keep an eye on her second brother-in-law's family, but she told my eldest sister-in-law to be virtuous and not to monopolize men and make people laugh at her. Why isn't my mother afraid that my second sister will monopolize her second brother-in-law and make people laugh at her?"
Mrs. Jiang blushed and wanted to give her son a cup of tea. Is there any son who would expose his own shortcomings like this?
She looked at her son's eyes as if he was going crazy and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Mo Chenxi couldn't play dumb at this moment. Since someone spoke for her original body, she couldn't pretend nothing happened.
She stood up, covered her face and ran out crying, so that the old lady wouldn't target her again and ask her to express her feelings about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law being one family and that she treated her daughter-in-law like her own daughter.
