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

Mo Chenxi also told his parents that he wanted Jingyi to get married early in the name of bringing good luck.

Mo Yuanji said, "That's fine. Leave it to your mother and don't worry about it."

Now he is also worried about what the He family will do to force his granddaughter to get married quickly.

Mo Chenxi took out a silver note, and Mo Yuanji was shocked when he saw it.

"Five thousand taels? Where did you get so much silver?"

"Xiangxiang's mother gave me 10,000 taels. I refused to take it, saying it would make her feel at ease. I gave Jingyi 5,000 taels, 3,000 taels as dowry, and 2,000 taels for dowry. I feel bad for letting her marry under the pretext of bringing good luck.

"There are still five thousand taels left. I will give it to Cao. I don't think that my daughter-in-law is an outsider to be guarded against. A woman who is willing to marry here is planning to live a good life. If I give it to Shanluo, I am worried that it will be spent on the He family sooner or later. I give it to Cao so that she can raise children in the future."

Mo Yuanji nodded, agreeing with his daughter's statement. He also knew what his daughter meant. He told others that the money was given by the Mo family to his granddaughter. Otherwise, the He family couldn't afford such a large sum of money. Secondly, the He family had two patients and needed money. After all, his daughter was still the daughter-in-law of the He family. If he didn't keep the money to treat her mother-in-law and husband, people would criticize him, and his granddaughter would not accept it.

Mo Chenxi continued, "It's still early for the two younger ones to get married. By then I'll be able to earn enough for them to get married."

Mrs. Mo said, "Don't worry about that. You have your parents and your two brothers..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by her husband.

"My daughter is right. It will take several more years. If you have any good ideas, I will help you make more money. You said you would provide for your parents in their old age. In the future, your parents will take care of you."

Old Mrs. Mo understood what her husband meant and wanted to give her daughter hope of survival.

"Yes, your father will help you, as will the two brothers Dazhi. When Cao gives birth, she will leave the baby to mother. I will take care of the child. Look how well I have raised Xiangxiang to be plump and white."

Mo Chenxi smiled, "I envy Madam Zhao. When Madam Cao is my age, we can be like Madam Zhao and her daughter-in-law. We can go out together, go to Suzhou and Hangzhou, climb Mount Tai, and bring our parents along."

Mrs. Mo smiled, but her heart was filled with sorrow. Her daughter was trying to comfort her.

When she got home, Mrs. Mo called her two daughters-in-law over, took out the silver notes, told them what happened in the He family, and said that the silver notes were given by her daughter, and it could only be said that the Mo family was buying a dowry for their granddaughter.

She has a daughter-in-law, but things need to be made clear so that the daughter-in-law doesn't think that the mother-in-law always subsidizes her elder sister-in-law.

Zhou had no idea at all. Although her parents-in-law were the housekeepers, she knew all the household accounts.

I used to have some ideas about my parents-in-law subsidizing my sister-in-law, but now I have no idea at all.

The Mo family now relies on their eldest sister-in-law, who was conferred the title of Madam Xiaojie by the court. Their daughter also benefits from this, as she is Madam Xiaojie's niece.

The two daughters-in-law of the Mo family were more willing to live with their eldest sister-in-law to take care of her when their mother-in-law told them to. However, they were shocked when their mother-in-law told them that their eldest sister-in-law really had chest pain.

Mrs. Mo said, "Your father and I just found out today. We're not telling you that we just love our daughter and want our daughter-in-law to take care of her. It's because your eldest sister can't be tired at this critical moment. The He family is in such a state, they will definitely bother your eldest sister. You just keep an eye on her and tell me if you have anything to say. Dazhi's wife has a loud voice, so please speak softly when you go there, and don't dance around and make too much noise."

Zhou said quickly, "Mother, I understand. I'll put some cotton wool under the soles of my shoes."

She walks with heavy feet and there is always movement.

As for Mo Chenxi, she went to see Cao and gave her the banknote.

"This is the ten thousand taels Xiangxiang's mother gave me. I gave five thousand to Shanluo's grandmother to prepare a dowry for Jingyi. These five thousand are for you and your future children."

Cao was panicked, and the first thing she thought of was whether her mother-in-law would not live long.

Mo Chenxi knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw her expression. She lowered her voice and said, "I won't give it to Shanluo and Jingyi, and I can't keep it. If I give it to you, I'll give it to Shanluo. Men only think about the whole family. You are going to be a mother, and a mother has to protect her children. How difficult is it to protect them with nothing but money? Shankun and Yinhua are getting married, and I can still make money. I'll give it to them in the future so that you, as the eldest sister-in-law, won't feel that your mother-in-law is partial."

Cao was relieved to see her mother-in-law "hiding her secrets" in front of her. She liked the way her mother-in-law "hid her secrets" because she was not on guard against her, but was "on guard" against her own son.

She said, "Mother, I will respect you from now on. I will treat you as my own mother."

These days, Cao's stepmother came every day, brought some food, said a few words and then left.

Mo Chenxi said to Cao: "You should respect your grandmother first. When you have a child and can go out, take the child back to your mother's home more often to see your grandmother. I don't have the idea that a married woman should go back to her mother's home. You see, I want to go back to my mother's home, so I just left.

"Your sister is old enough, and it's time for her to get engaged. As the older sister, you should also make some preparations. I don't have the attitude of saying, 'No matter how much she's your sister, no matter how much she's your stepmother, I don't want you to do anything. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. The past is the past, and the future will be the future.'" Mr. Nie once said to Shan Luo, "Follow your heart."

"You see, he has changed a lot, and I have changed a lot too. In the past, he would definitely let you go back to the He family. I was also very sick, but I had to think that I was the eldest daughter-in-law of the He family and I should go back. Now I want to do something for someone who is worth it."

As Cao listened, she understood that her mother-in-law wanted her to face up to and change her relationship with her stepmother. She was also thinking that her grandmother also said that she should not have been so stubborn before. Her grandmother said that now that she was gone, she couldn't not go back to her parents' home.

In fact, her stepmother didn't mistreat her, she just avoided her and ignored her. Last time, she fainted from anger, and her stepmother stood up for her. Now she comes to see her every day.

It is not ruled out that the stepmother also did this for her own daughter, otherwise others would criticize her as a stepmother who was not kind to the original wife's daughter.

Mo Chenxi said, "Time reveals a person's true character. Even mothers and daughters can be estranged until death. I'm treating you well now, but if I become confused in the future, you can be disappointed in me. I can't be on guard against my mother-in-law and refuse to accept her kindness just because I think she will become confused in the future. As a mother-in-law, can I continue to treat you as my own daughter? I'm sure I'll think my own daughter is the best. She never guards against me and doesn't pretend to be nice to me."

Cao smiled and said, "I won't. I know that mother-in-law is doing this for me, and I am wholeheartedly devoted to her."

Mo Chenxi joked, "Save this for Shan Luo. He's a bit of a hypocrite. You have to coax him, and he'll listen to you in the future."

Cao felt warm in her heart. Other mothers-in-law were afraid that their sons would listen to their daughters-in-law, but this mother-in-law always told Shanluo to listen to her.

As they were talking, Mrs. Cao came and brought the cakes made by Old Lady Cao herself.

Cao thanked her mother and waited for her to sit down, then expressed her concern for her in the same symbolic way as before.

I used to think my stepmother was hypocritical, but what my mother-in-law said just now meant that if you are insincere to others, don't expect others to be sincere to you.

She didn't even pretend to be affectionate towards her stepmother, she was cold and rejecting. How could she expect her stepmother to be so kind to her?
