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

When Mo Chenxi saw Mrs. Liao looking at her eagerly, she suddenly thought of Wang Huilan's pregnancy.

Never mind, let her figure it out, then she's just talking nonsense.

"I heard from Mrs. Wang that her junior sister is pregnant."

Mrs. Liao looked at her with puzzled eyes, thinking, what does my sister-in-law's pregnancy have to do with my brother-in-law? After the mother-in-law knew about her sister-in-law, her face was not good for several days.

Suddenly, I thought of something, "You mean..."

I dare not say it out loud, let me hear what Madam Xiaojie has to say.

Mo Chenxi said, "I've heard that some children come to repay their parents, while others come to collect debts. Some children are disobedient and make trouble for their parents, so the elderly will say that their parents must have done something wrong to them in their past life, so they're here to collect the debt. If they did something wrong to their parents in their past life, and they're reborn as a child, they'll become a good son who's ambitious, filial, and brings honor to their parents. Isn't that a good birth?"

Mrs. Liao's eyes lit up. "Why didn't I think of this?"

She asked hesitantly, "Madam Xiaojie, could it be that my brother-in-law has really been reincarnated?"

Mo Chenxi said, "I don't know, and I can't read it. Didn't you ask me to give you some advice? I came up with this idea. This way, your mother-in-law will definitely treat your sister-in-law well, and your future nephew well too."

"What if I give birth to a daughter?"

"Having a daughter is a way to repay a parent's kindness. A daughter is like a warm and loving companion to her parents. A son forgets his mother after marrying her, but a daughter will always be close to her mother."

Madam Liao nodded and said, "Madam Xiaojie is right. Just tell her that my brother-in-law is going to be reborn into my sister-in-law's womb, and I'll handle the rest."

She thought that there would be absolutely no problem coaxing her mother-in-law, as long as she could make her mother-in-law believe her, and this depended on Madam Xiaojie.

"If my mother-in-law wants to do something, she can't help it. At most, she will come to you after the Mid-Autumn Festival. My mother-in-law is easy to please. If she gives you something, you just take it. If you don't take it, she will think you are really capable."

Mo Chenxi smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."

Mrs. Liao said a few more embarrassing words and left.

Mo Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief. Just as her father said, she couldn't refuse anyone who came to see her.

Fortunately, they were all there to give her the missed questions, and she was just helping to act out the show.

After entering the house, I changed my clothes first, and saw my daughter-in-law Cao coming in with a bulging belly.

Cao Yue'e sat down and said, "Mother is back. Someone came looking for her just now, but didn't say which mansion they were from. My great-aunt went to my maternal grandfather's house."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and every household is busy preparing for the festival. Mo Chenxi asked his two sisters-in-law to return to their parents' home. His daughter-in-law's pregnancy is stable, so his aunt lives here to help take care of her.

She used to worry about money, but now she doesn't have to worry about the necessities of life. Not to mention the profits from the shop, there is also the profit from making wine. Her father gave her all 10,000 taels of silver, so except for not giving it to the He family, she made clear arrangements for the rest of the money. The people who serve her daughter-in-law all receive double monthly wages.

Mo Chenxi said, "Let's go back for dinner on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'll come back on that day. Ask Grandma Shanqiao to help buy some gifts for the children of your second and third uncles."

She took out two silver bills, and Mother Wang took them and handed them to Cao.

"Keep one for yourself, and I'm giving the other to your great-aunt. If I give it to her in person, she always refuses. You should also buy some things for your parents' home and have them delivered. When I'm not home, your parents often come to take care of you. Spend what you should, don't feel embarrassed."

Cao Yue'e was very grateful to her mother-in-law and didn't know what to say. Other families were wary of their daughters-in-law, fearing that they would spend money on their parents' home.

But every time the mother-in-law came back, she would give her money and ask her to buy things for her parents' home.

Seeing that she was generous with her money for her younger sister and brother, her stepmother became even more kind to her. She came to visit her every two days, and her younger sister became closer to her.

Mo Chenxi thinks that if she spends money on her daughter-in-law, she will know how to be grateful. Mrs. Cao and Madam Cao are even more affectionate when they see her.

There are also the Zhao family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who always say: Oh, don’t do this, leave it for the children.

But people will be more satisfied if they receive her gifts, and they will return the gifts very sincerely.

Most people get along like this: you treat me well and I treat you well. How many people are like Mrs. Jiang? She just wants you to treat me well and I will take advantage of you.

Mo Chenxi felt that living in the manor was more comfortable. Living at home made her feel uncomfortable with her daughter-in-law's fearful and fawning smile all the time.

So after finishing my work, I hurried back to the village and came back on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, she returned to the He family with the pregnant Cao. The second and third wives also came back with their children. Fortunately, no one made trouble, and the meal was relatively peaceful.

A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mo Chenxi received Madam Xue at the farm. As expected, she came by herself.

Mrs. Xue said that she came by to see the vegetables grown in the farm. If Mrs. Liao had not told her in advance, she would have suspected that she came to see what kind of vegetables the boss had entrusted them to grow.

There were some people who came to the farm out of curiosity, including Mr. Qiu Sanye, but the fields were all green and lush, and there was nothing to see.

Mrs. Xue was just making an excuse. After sitting down, she didn't ask to check the dishes. She took two sips of tea and spoke.

"Madam Xiaojie, there's something I want to ask you. I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I know it would be difficult for you to bring it up rashly, so please have some pity on my mother's heart."

She patted her chest and tears welled up in her eyes.

This is not false. No matter how unpromising Fourth Master Xue may be in the eyes of outsiders, he is still Madam Xue's late-born son. She worries about the youngest of her four sons the most, so she is the one who cares about him the most.

Because Mrs. Liao missed a question, Mo Chenxi followed her words.

"I know. I'm a mother too. If my child coughs twice, I can't sleep and have to get up several times at night to check on him."

Mrs. Xue seemed to have found a common topic. "Yes, that's right. My little fourth son has caused me a lot of worry. I've also spoiled him. When his elder brother said he wanted to take him to Liaodong, I couldn't bear to let him go. I said I would leave one for me, but who knew it would turn out like this. The old man sent the young one away. I'm still alive, but my life is not stable."

Mrs. Xue said this while crying.

"I just want to know if my little Si is doing well in the afterlife, and whether he received the paper money I burned for him. If he has any unfulfilled wishes, as his mother, I will risk my life to fulfill them. But he just won't come to me in my dreams, and I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die!"

Mo Chenxi asked, "Does Madam Tai have anything that Fourth Master Xue has worn?"

Madam Xue said, "Yes, yes, I brought the longevity lock that he had when he was a child."

Mo Chenxi took it, rubbed it back and forth with his hands, and closed his eyes.

I thought to myself, I am a fake fortune teller. I am doing this to help the old man and put his mind at ease. Please don’t blame me, Bodhisattva.
