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

Mo Yuanji also thought of the patriarch's little niece.

He lived in the ancestral home and knew all about the clan affairs. He felt sorry for the woman, who was considered a niece from the same clan. Her father had originally named her Mo Guihua, but her stepmother had always called her a bitch.

He asked his wife to help out a bit, by giving her some clothes and so on. His wife said: The more she helped, the more harshly her mother would treat her. Her eldest uncle was the head of the clan and there was nothing he could do. Helping her would only harm her.

Later, when Mo Guihua lived with her uncle, his wife dared to give her some clothes. Mo Yuanji also gave the clan leader some silver to avoid complaints from the clan leader's wife.

Mo Guihua grew up in such an environment. First of all, she was tough, patient, and hardworking. She knew that if the clan leader had not saved her, she might have been sold to some dirty place by her stepmother.

So everyone rushed to work at the patriarch's house.

When Mo Yuanji moved to the ancestral home, Mo Guihua came to help with the housework. When his daughter-in-law Li wrote, she looked at her with envy. Her daughter-in-law taught her to read, and now she can write a few words.

It is appropriate for such a person to be the second wife of the He family.

Mo Yuanji did not mention Mo Guihua directly to the patriarch, but waited to see whether the patriarch was willing. He believed that the patriarch would be willing. Not long ago, the patriarch told him that he was still worried about his niece's marriage. He could support her while he was alive, but he couldn't guarantee whether his sons could continue to support her if he was gone.

Mo Yuanji didn't respond to him. He knew that the clan leader wanted him to help find a suitable person to marry. He wanted to help and even asked his wife to see if there was anyone suitable. However, this little niece was not born to the main wife, and her stepmother had spread the news that her horoscope was not good, so everyone within a hundred miles knew that she had a bad fate.

Who doesn't ask about marriages? If you match someone with someone, you're not creating a marriage, you're creating an enemy.

Mo Yuanji even considered the young man who was saved by Xiao Xiangming. Xiao Xiangming said that the young man could be cured, so it would be okay to recruit a young son-in-law.

However, the clan leader’s sons would definitely not agree to give a house and land to a son-in-law, as she is not their biological sister. Guihua has a half-brother.

So Mo Yuanji wanted to help but there was no one suitable.

If they were to find someone from the Mo family, Mo Guihua would be a good fit. However, there was one drawback: although Guihua lived in the clan leader's household, she was still a niece, the daughter of the clan leader's younger brother. If Guihua's mother and brother came to cause trouble in the future, it would be trouble for her daughter.

This depends on whether the patriarch is smart or not.

Two days later, the clan leader went to Beijing to visit the Mo family and proposed that his niece Mo Guihua go to the He family as the second wife.

"I'm not praising my niece for being hardworking, capable, and sensible. My wife treats her like her own daughter."

Mo Yuanji thought, that's because he subsidizes her with a sum of money every year, otherwise, do you think your wife would be nice to Guihua?

"Guihua isn't ugly, she has inherited all the good qualities of her parents. She's a good worker. She's even better at harvesting wheat than men. You've lived in the house for a few years, so you know that my sister-in-law's talk about bad horoscopes is all nonsense. How can a bad horoscope not bring bad luck to my stepmother? My sister-in-law is so lively and energetic that she can even curse in public. She should be killed first."

It’s not that Mo Yuanji doesn’t care about the horoscope. If it’s for his own family, he will definitely consider it. If it’s for his son-in-law’s family, he even wants to kill his in-laws.

He pretended to be worried and said, "We are all surnamed Mo, so we should help if we can. Your niece is a good choice. She is indeed capable as you said, and she knows how to repay kindness. Even your sister-in-law, you can't do anything to her. If Guihua goes to the He family and your sister-in-law comes to make trouble again, you know that my mother-in-law is ill and my son-in-law is like that. My daughter is recuperating from a heart disease. If anything happens to my daughter, I will have the urge to kill her!"

Mo Yuanji gritted his teeth when he said this. The clan leader hurriedly said, "I came here to discuss this with you. I've decided to adopt Guihua to me. I'll ask the village head to testify and go to the government office to change the household registration."

Mo Yuanji asked, "Will my nephew be willing? Cousins ​​and step-sisters are different."

He didn't say it explicitly, but the dowry for a cousin or a stepsister is different. Although he didn't care about the dowry at all, for a countryman, a decent dowry would be a large sum.

The patriarch said, "I discussed it with them and came here because they all agreed."

He told his sons that Uncle Mo wouldn't ignore them and would provide some financial support. He wasn't insisting that Mo Yuanji provide the financial support, but rather that he was trying to silence his sons. He also told his sons that giving his daughter to the He family as a second wife was a way to help Madam Xiaojie. The future benefits were obvious, so they shouldn't be so short-sighted as to focus solely on the present gains and losses.

Fortunately, my son was not stupid. He understood the situation clearly and agreed without hesitation.

"My sons are all like me, kind-hearted, and they said they would give my sister a generous dowry so that she wouldn't be looked down upon by the He family. As for my sister-in-law, I can't tell her now. If I tell her, she will definitely not agree to the adoption. On the day of the adoption, I will make her family sign a document, promising that they will not cause trouble in the name of Guihua's legitimate mother and brother. If she dares to cause trouble, I will expel her family from the clan."

He said this with a serious expression, "I have something on their family. I used to turn a blind eye to it because I thought she was my brother, but if she tries to harm the entire Mo family, I won't let her off!"

Mo Yuanji said, "After all, we are brothers. When the time comes, your nephew will ask, 'Are you worthy of your grandfather? Are you worthy of my father?'"

The patriarch understood that if he didn't hand this handle to Mo Yuanji, Mo Yuanji would not agree.

"Guihua's mother didn't die of illness. My sister-in-law poisoned her. I only found out about this a year later when my brother drank too much at my place and burst into tears. Also, my sister-in-law's brother-in-law injured someone and hid at my brother's house for half a year. He only dared to go back after paying compensation. As for who injured them, I'm too lazy to ask. It was my brother who asked me to borrow money and told me about this. It's been about ten years now."

Mo Yuanji knew that there must be more besides these two things, but these two things were enough to control the clan leader's sister-in-law.

Guihua's mother was murdered. As long as the body is still there, the coroner will know the truth after examining the bones.

If the brothers of the clan leader's sister-in-law beat someone up, even after so many years, if someone secretly encourages the beaten person to report to the police, it will cause chaos in the clan leader's sister-in-law's family.

Seeing that Mo Yuanji still didn't agree, the clan leader said, "When Guihua gets married, I'll have my wife secretly tell her how her mother died. Guihua won't be controlled by her mother's murderer. Even if my sister-in-law secretly goes to see Guihua, Guihua won't help her because she was once her legal mother."

In the eyes of the public, your stepmother didn't kill you, she raised you, so you have to be filial to her. Even if you are adopted by your uncle, your stepmother is your aunt, so you still have to treat her well.

Many people have to do things against their will because of the rules, while others do them willingly.

However, no one is willing to treat the murderer of their mother kindly, or just for the sake of face.

This was exactly what Mo Yuanji was waiting for. He didn't want to find a second wife for his daughter who would cause endless troubles like his daughter's sister-in-law.

Mo Guihua's mother died and she had no grandparents. The patriarch of her father's family wanted to suppress his brother's wife and nephew for the sake of his own family.

The clan leader has received a lot of benefits from him over the years, and it was also with his help that his eldest son was able to become a minor official in the town.
