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

Mo Chenxi took the depressed eldest son and daughter, and the happy second son and daughter who were suppressing their smiles, to the He family farm.

The He family originally wanted to buy this farm, so they asked someone to pass it on to Mo Yuanji, and then the two families became relatives.

Mo Chenxi really wanted to ask the Mo family’s father, your vision is so poor, why did you marry your own daughter to such a family.

This was a joke. The He family certainly didn't have this attitude back then. How could the Mo family's father have imagined that a family ethics drama of a villain succeeding would be played out in front of him, and his own daughter's life would be at stake.

The He family's farm is not big, and the He family does not have the conditions to afford a large farm.

In the past, it was looked after by a few servants, who grew some vegetables and fed a dozen chickens and a few pigs, all of which were supplied to the masters.

This time the He family laid off employees, and dozens of people lived in the farm. A pigpen was also added, and the smell was unpleasant. The He family's children frowned and covered their noses as soon as they entered.

As soon as Mo Chenxi entered, she smelled the unique smell of the countryside. She took a deep breath. Although it was mixed with the smell of soil and chicken and pig manure, it was much more comfortable than the smell at He's house.

When you are in a good mood, everything looks good and nothing smells bad.

Madam Liao met them at the gate. Seeing the young master's expression, she said, "We've already asked them to clean it up in advance, otherwise the smell would be even worse."

She led Mo Chenxi inside and introduced everything as she walked.

"The house has been cleaned up, but I'm worried that the young master and young lady won't be used to it. The pigs are half grown and can be sold in winter."

Mo Chenxi walked and looked around, and said excitedly: "Let them stew a chicken later. The chicken is freshly killed and tastes delicious."

Mother Liao smiled and said, "It's all ready. We even have fish. There's a pond behind the mountain over there. Buy some fish and cook whatever you want to eat later."

Mo Chenxi heard from his father that the farm he introduced to the He family was not big and was not a place for rich people to escape the summer heat and go on outings, but it had a good location and was cheap.

The good location is that the village is not far from Shuangfeng Mountain, which is suitable for raising poultry and the price is low, but it is far from the capital.

The nearby villas are relatively large, and the real summer resorts were all purchased by the families of prominent status.

This farm was originally bought by a eunuch to live on in his old age. He died suddenly, and his godson secretly asked Mo Yuanji to sell it.

There was a courtyard in front of the manor, reserved for the owner to live in, and a row of houses at the back. Mo Chenxi asked Mother Liao to find someone to build another row, which was barely enough for the servants sent to the manor to live in.

Further back is the pigpen, where dozens of pigs are currently raised.

If the money from selling pigs is not enough to cover the monthly wages of these servants, and this is not the modern era with all kinds of feed additives and pigs being sold quickly, feeding pigs here can only be purely natural, without any technology or hard work.

Just as they had arranged a room to stay in, Mo's parents arrived, and it was Mo Xinzhi who brought them over.

Mo Chenxi asked her eldest brother to take the four children to Shuangfeng Mountain for a trip, and she told him about He Shanluo's problem.

Mo Yuanji and his wife exchanged a glance, and Mo Chenxi said, "Just tell me what you want to say. Don't worry about me. I just don't know what to do, so I want to ask my father."

Old Madam Mo spoke first, "Actually, your father has long wanted to tell you that Shanluo is no good for studying hard. He has a personality like his son-in-law, stubborn. But he doesn't have the qualities of a son-in-law. If studying hard can lead to passing the imperial examination and becoming a Jinshi, then every scholar has studied very hard, and how many of them can become a Jinshi? It took Mojiazhuang hundreds of years for your father to become a Jinshi."

Mo Chenxi looked at his father.

Mo Yuanji said, "The imperial examination also depends on luck. When my son-in-law took the exam, the chief examiner happened to be ill and was replaced at the last minute. He happened to like my son-in-law's essay. I also asked someone to mention that it was my son-in-law, otherwise he would have only been a Juren."

It was that time when Eunuch Liang persuaded him not to use connections to get a son-in-law.

Later he regretted what he had done for his son-in-law, but he couldn't tell him what he had done for him. What if his son-in-law told others about it, wouldn't it hurt others?

If it's a son, there's no need to hesitate and just say it directly.

My daughter didn't say anything at that time.

Mo Chenxi understood that even asking for help would require a coincidence. His father must have known a relative or friend of the temporarily replaced examiner.

"I've thought that even if I pass the exam to become a scholar, it will be difficult to pass the imperial examination. It would be better to take the Mingjing exam."

Mo Chenxi didn’t understand, so he nodded first and then asked.

Mo Yuanji then said, "I'm afraid my son-in-law won't agree."

Mo Chenxi smiled. "Him? He won't have the final say in the future. I'd like to ask my father to help me find a teacher. I think the subject of the exam is secondary. Just like his father, he passed the imperial examination and became an official of the fifth rank, but what's the point? He can't support the family, and he can't even handle his own mother. He has no ability and yet he blames others for not doing well."

Mo Yuanji was surprised to see his daughter speaking so rudely about her son-in-law, which was very different from before.

This is not a good idea. We have four children and we have to live our lives.

"My son-in-law has always respected me, but he just can't see the problem clearly. There are many men like him. Being the second son or the youngest son is fine. He has his father and brothers to teach him, so he just needs to follow them. It's a pity that he is the eldest son, his father died early, and his mother is confused. The He family clan members failed to take care of their family, which is why they have become like this."

Old Madam Mo continued, "My son-in-law is a bit dull, but he has never done anything like favoring a concubine over his wife. Some men, once they become officials, don't divorce their wives and despise their wives. They either favor a concubine or take a merchant's daughter as a second wife, getting both money and a woman."

Mo Yuanji said, "My son-in-law is not stupid. He has always respected me, so he must be worried. He knows what I, his father-in-law, can do to him."

Mrs. Mo joked, "His mother doesn't care. She always thinks the Mo family has fallen on hard times, and maybe she wants to give her son a second wife."

Mo Yuanji's eyes immediately became sharp. "How dare he, my son-in-law! If he takes a second wife, I can really let you divide the property and live separately with the children! If you don't want to, don't go back to your parents' home and complain when you are wronged in the future. Let your mother and I live a few more years. I can't just do things for you, I still have grandchildren."

Mo Chenxi asked, "Why can't we get a divorce?"

Old Madam Mo said quickly, "That won't do. It's not that I want you to live a life of humiliation. None of them in Shanluo are engaged. Who would choose a marriage without considering the parents? Even if they are married, if the parents divorce, the daughter will be ashamed in her husband's family, and the daughter-in-law will complain, which will affect the grandchildren."

Mo Chenxi knew that it was the environment that was causing the problem, not that his parents were unkind, but he still felt depressed after hearing it with his own ears.

Not to mention ancient times, how many people in modern times would disagree when they heard that their son or daughter was dating someone from a single-parent family?

You can also explain to people that my parents divorced because my dad was a scumbag and it had nothing to do with my mom.

Outsiders don't look at the reasons, they only look at the results.

Mom always says that she doesn't want you to have difficulty finding a partner, so she lives with your dad.

Seeing his daughter's dejected expression, Mo Yuanji comforted her, "It hasn't come to that yet. I don't think my son-in-law is that kind of person. He still knows the rules. And you still have your parents. They won't let you suffer any injustice."

Mo Chenxi nodded.

With the support of Mo's father, if the He family goes too far, she will live alone with her child.
