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

He Wenyan's expression was awkward all the way, and he kept making small talk.

Mo Chenxi knew that he felt short of breath at his father-in-law's house. His previous promotion was due to his own ability, and he had the confidence. His wife subsidized her in-laws' family, which was because his wife was virtuous.

But this time, he blatantly used the money from his wife's sale of the dowry shop to fill his deficit, and it was impossible for Yue's family not to know about it.

So I feel ashamed.

What he least wanted was to embarrass himself in front of his father-in-law. If it wasn't for the second day of the Chinese New Year, he would have found an excuse not to follow.

Mo Chenxi knew that He Wenyan was not the kind of bad and scumbag man, otherwise she would not be willing to stay and clean up this mess.

It might be better to stay in the He family than to leave, so she would just make do with her life. She would make small talk for He Wenyan and answer him from time to time, agreeing with him.

When I arrived at the door, my two younger brothers were waiting there.

After He Shanluo got off the carriage, he staggered. Mo Xinrong squatted down and rubbed his legs, while Mo Xinzhi and He Wenyan were polite to each other.

Hearing the noise, two people came out quickly. They were the Mo family's daughter-in-law. Zhou picked up the listless He Yinhua and walked into the house while talking, "Sister, come in quickly, my parents are waiting.

The two sisters-in-law's parents' homes were nearby, so they went back early in the morning and came back in the afternoon.

Every room in the Mo family has floor heating, making it warm when you enter.

Mrs. Mo took He Yinhua, touched her hands and cheeks, and said, "Good boy, you are tired." She held He Yinhua in her arms and wrapped her in a thin blanket.

Mo Chenxi's two sisters-in-law diligently poured tea and brought snacks. Since the dishes sold in the shop were not available, Zhou was busy preparing the meals.

The last time Mo Chenxi went back to her parents' home, her two sisters-in-law also welcomed her with smiles, but this time it was obviously different. The elder sister-in-law was attentive and fawning, while the younger sister-in-law sat next to her mother-in-law, warmed He Yinhua's hands, and fed her water personally. If you didn't know, you would think she was his own daughter.

She smiled at Mo Chenxi and said, "Big sister, the dishes cooked today are all your favorites. Mother-in-law made the lion's head herself."

Mo Chenxi thanked his mother, and Mrs. Mo said, "This is some lotus root your father saved. He usually doesn't want to eat it, so he saves it for the New Year. I gave birth to three of you, but you're the only one who takes after your father. You're very picky about food, and you love the kind with lotus root in your lion's head."

Mo Chenxi smiled and said, "They say a daughter is blessed to be like her father. My daughter is where she is today because her parents love her. I didn't have the energy before. Now that my parents move to the capital, I will be filial to them."

Old Mrs. Mo smiled from ear to ear. This time, her daughter was sick and recuperating at her parents' home, and the relationship between mother and daughter was closer than before. She was her own daughter, and she only hoped that her daughter would get well.

Mo Chenxi wanted to open a restaurant. Firstly, she had work experience in modern times. Secondly, Mo's father used to work in the Jiashu Bureau in Beijing, where he was responsible for growing vegetables. He had experience in how to grow and preserve fruits and vegetables.

Off-season vegetables are not allowed to be grown and can only be preserved.

Just like lotus root, she likes to eat lion's head meat with lotus root, soft meatballs with crispy lotus root inside, the taste is wonderful.

I didn’t expect that the original body also likes this dish.

If He Wenyan wasn't around, she would want to cook it herself.

Mo Xinrong's wife, Li, chatted for a while and then went down to the kitchen to busy herself. Mo Chenxi smiled. Money can move people's hearts. In the past, Mo would only use her natal family to subsidize her husband's family. It was impossible for her sister-in-law from her natal family to have no complaints.

Now she has sold the shop and the pastry recipes to her parents. When her two sisters-in-law see her, they find she is different from before.

Everyone in the world is happy when they see the silver in their hands.

When eating, they separated into two sides, the men in the living room and the women with Mrs. Mo.

He Wenyan was always worried. His father-in-law didn't mention the shop during the whole meal. He felt that his father-in-law was saving his face in front of his two brothers-in-law, so he waited.

In previous years, he would stay overnight at the Mo family's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year and leave on the third day. Every time he stayed there, he would live in the same room with his two sons, while his wife and daughter would stay with his mother-in-law.

He Wenyan was worried that his father-in-law would let him live with him, so he wanted to ask about the shop.

After dinner, they chatted for a while, and sure enough, his father-in-law kept him, saying that they hadn't had a long talk for a long time.

Before He Wenyan came, he had already thought of his excuses and how to apologize, and he promised to find a shop for his wife in the future.

Unexpectedly, his father-in-law didn't mention the shop at all. As usual, he asked about his affairs in the government office and finally said:

"Last year, Jingyi went with us to visit someone in another city. It was the birthday of Jingyi's second aunt's father. Our whole family went and saw that Jingyi's second uncle's mother-in-law had a distant relative who took a liking to Jingyi. She said that her nephew on her mother's side was a year older than Jingyi, had passed the Tongsheng exam, and was a good candidate for education. He came from an ordinary family, farmers, and didn't have to worry about food and drink."

When Mo Yuanji saw his son-in-law's surprise, he sneered in his heart. Does his son-in-law look down on farmers?

He didn't even think about the fact that their He family was not even as good as farmers in the past, and even now they were still worried about food and drink.

He Wenyan was surprised. He hoped that his daughter would marry into a scholar's family, at least of the sixth rank. How could his father-in-law suggest a marriage with a country boy?

He later realized that the people his father-in-law was talking about didn't have to worry about food and drink.

He Wenyan blushed. Just like his third brother had told him, if you wanted to marry your niece to a family of similar status, what would you give her as a dowry? After she got married, how would she hold herself up in front of her in-laws?

He Wenyan originally thought that his daughter was also the granddaughter of the Mo family, and if he found a good marriage for his daughter, the Mo family would not stand idly by.

"I wonder if Jingyi's mother would agree. She always hoped her daughter could marry into a good family."

Mo Yuanji continued gently, "What is a good person? A good family is better than a good life. You have been an official in Beijing for many years. You have seen and heard of the dirty things in the rich and powerful families. One year, a mother-in-law abused her daughter-in-law to death. Her family was in an uproar. Didn't she know about it before? It was because the other party was too high-class, and her family couldn't make the decision for their daughter. She had more than one daughter in the family, and she was too worried and cared too much about face, which led to her daughter's death."

He said this to his son-in-law. His son-in-law was the kind of person he had just described. He cared about face, took this and that into consideration, and thought that people could not be that evil. He forgot there is a word: human heart is evil.

Mo Yuanji said calmly, "But this kind of thing will never happen to my Mo family. Whether it's my daughter, granddaughter, or granddaughter-in-law, if I'm treated badly by my husband's family, it means that others don't take me seriously at all!

"To treat my Mo family bloodline badly is like slapping me in the face. What face do I care about? I will destroy his family!"

He said this gently, but He Wenyan felt the coldness of the black bones.

"Don't worry, son-in-law. Although Jingyi's last name isn't Mo, she has the blood of my Mo family. I can't just randomly arrange a marriage for her without checking everything out. You know I'm a person who loves and cherishes talents. That's how I valued my son-in-law back then."

He Wenyan was embarrassed. His father-in-law was hinting to him that he had never looked down on the He family back then.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your kindness."

Mo Yuanji praised him, "I wasn't wrong about him. My son-in-law is a righteous man with a straight character. He respects his wife and loves his son. A man who can do this is a real man."
