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

The Jiang family hasn't been able to see Old Mrs. Jiang in the past few years and can't even get in the door. At first, they said she was insane, and later it was said she had soul-leaving syndrome.

This time he died suddenly, and Uncle Jiang wanted to make trouble, asking his nephew if he had killed his mother because she was angry with him.

The nephew of the Jiang family was looking after his father. He thought his father only had a few more years to live, and he was making trouble just to get money from his cousin.

How would he interact with his cousin after his father died? Seeing that the He family was on the rise, he couldn't offend them.

The nephew of the Jiang family coaxed his father and made trouble at his aunt's funeral. No one blamed the Jiang family and wanted to play the long game to catch a big fish.

Uncle Jiang thought about it and realized that since his eldest sister was gone, he would be the elder to the nephew and could be considered half of the family.

When the family business was divided, Uncle Jiang asked to see the things left behind by the eldest sister, and her brothers wanted to take them away as a keepsake.

Everyone looked at He Wenyan. He looked like a decrepit old man with empty eyes.

He Wenliang ordered the maid who had been serving his mother to bring all of his mother's things.

Then he looked at his uncle and asked, "Uncle, do you want to come with us? Otherwise, they will accuse me of hiding my mother's things."

Uncle Jiang said awkwardly, "Why are you talking like that? I'm your mother's brother, so what if I leave a memory of you?"

He Wenliang turned his head and ignored him.

Wait until a few maids come in with things, including clothes for all seasons and a few jewelry boxes.

He Wenliang stood up, pointed at the clothes and said, "Do you want these, uncle?"

Uncle Jiang waved his hands quickly, his eyes fixed on the jewelry box on the table.

He Wenliang walked over, opened the jewelry box, and took out a hairpin. "This is what my eldest sister-in-law bought for my mother, this is what my second sister-in-law bought, and this is what my wife bought."

He placed the jewelry on the table and listed them one by one. Most of them were bought by his sister-in-law.

"Don't ask me why I know this. My mother told me herself. My eldest sister-in-law told my second sister-in-law and my wife."

Everyone understood that Mrs. Jiang's intention to show off was to get her other two daughters-in-law to buy something for her as well.

"Before I got married, my mother gave all the jewelry that my eldest sister-in-law bought for her to my second sister. My uncle wanted to go to the Gao family and asked me not to stop him. You can ask my eldest brother about this. He even asked my eldest sister-in-law to give half of her dowry jewelry to my second sister as a dowry. How do I know so much? Because after I got married, my mother asked my wife to give some jewelry to my second sister, saying that my eldest sister-in-law also gave it to her.

"My mother not only told my eldest brother and me, but also my eldest sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law, and my wife, that if the daughters-in-law showed her filial respect for her, she would return the jewelry to whoever she bought it for. She wore it to let others know that the He family's daughters-in-law were filial, and it was also for the good of the He family's descendants."

Old Mrs. He continued, "Your mother also told me this, saying that her daughter-in-law is filial. Everything she wears and wears on her head was bought by her, and she will leave it to her grandchildren in the future."

The sister-in-law never said this. Old Lady He looked down on Uncle Jiang's greed. Even after the man died, he was still thinking about money. What did your Jiang family give to your sister?

Old Madam He looked at He Wenliang and asked, "Nephew Wenliang, which ones were your mother's dowry? Or were they bought for your mother by your uncle's family? You and your eldest brother shouldn't divide your mother's dowry. Give it all to your uncle. Didn't your uncle say that he would keep it as a keepsake? The Jiang family's things are indeed kept as a keepsake for the Jiang family."

Uncle Jiang was embarrassed. The dowry he gave to his eldest sister was not much. The jewelry had been given to him as a betrothal gift when he got married.

At that time, my eldest sister's mother-in-law was still alive. When her mother-in-law found out, she locked up my eldest sister for several years and did not allow her to return to her parents' home.

He Wenliang didn't give his uncle any face at all and said, "I have never seen my mother's dowry since I was a child. I heard from my grandmother that my mother returned all the little dowry she had to my uncle's family. Over the years, my mother has given my uncle's family a lot of things, both openly and secretly. Especially after my eldest brother got married, my mother asked my eldest sister-in-law to be filial to my uncle's family. My mother also said that when she is gone in the future, my uncle will not ignore us, and the two of us brothers will rely on him."

He Wenliang burst into tears and shouted, "Uncle, my mother is gone, and my nephews have to rely on you. Uncle, please have pity on these two motherless nephews and give them a bite to eat!"

Uncle Jiang was startled by his nephew's shouting. He hurriedly said, "Your He family has a farm and a business, so how can you not have food to eat? Your uncle has to raise children and grandchildren, so how can he have extra money? Besides, aren't the He family visiting the ancestral home? You are a member of the He family, and they should take care of you."

Mrs. He finally understood why her sister-in-law was so shameless. It was because of the Jiang family's family tradition. In order to avoid the ancestral home's arrangement of a daughter-in-law, Wen Yan's grandmother married a girl from such a family.

She didn't say anything, but her son, Shanqiao's father, spoke.

"Uncle Jiang, you're right. This is my He family's business, and it's my He family's property that should be divided. Your eldest sister's jewelry was bought by my daughter-in-law, and your eldest sister also said that it should be given to whoever bought it. If you have any objections, you can go to the government office and ask them to testify that it's your Jiang family's and my He family doesn't want it. What do you think?"

How could Uncle Jiang dare to go to the yamen? He was greedy to begin with. Besides, the person who spoke to him was a relative of the general's mansion. Even if he went to the yamen, no one would speak for the Jiang family.

But he didn't give up and looked at He Wenyan.

The eldest sister said that she had a firm control over her eldest nephew and he would do whatever she told him to do, unlike the third nephew, that bastard who didn't even listen to his own mother.

"Nephew, tell me, what did your mother tell you?"

He Wenyan listened blankly, watching his third brother talk about his mother's jewelry in detail.

There were also several valuable items that disappeared after my mother returned to her parents' home.

Hearing his uncle's question, he came to his senses and slowly said, "My mother told me that every time I go back to her parents' home, I take off the jewelry I'm wearing and leave it to my uncle's family. When my cousin got married, my mother gave him several pieces of jewelry, including a pair of agate bracelets."

Why does he remember it so clearly?

Because it was his wife's dowry, his mother asked him to borrow it, saying it was for a grand occasion, but when his mother came back it was gone.

The mother asked what was wrong with the daughter-in-law giving her mother-in-law a pair of bracelets as a filial gift?

The lady was angry that time, saying that it was her aunt's dowry. He said that the lady was stingy and that she was so upset about a pair of bracelets. He said that he would buy her jade bracelets in the future.

He Wenyan looked at his wife again. His wife's wrist was bare. He had never bought her a jade bracelet, and his wife no longer wore many jewelries. She only had a gold hairpin on her head, which was made of gold covered copper.

"My mother said that she would cut off all ties with the Jiang family and pretend that she didn't have an uncle."

He Wenyan sneered in his heart. Didn’t he ask what his mother said?

Uncle Jiang stood up and said angrily, "You are talking nonsense! Your mother wouldn't say such things? Was it the Mo family who instigated it? Your mother said that you listen to her the most. If you don't listen, it means you listen to the Mo family. How can you be so confused? I am your uncle! Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are connected. What does the Mo family mean? How much did they give you for opening the restaurant? Do they treat you as their son-in-law? If the Mo family treated you as their son-in-law, they wouldn't have watched you work so hard to grow flowers. They should have given you half of the restaurant! I am doing this for your own good. If you trust me, I will go find the Mo family. Don't try to bully my nephew!"

Mo Chenxi was speechless. The Mo family could be shot even when they were lying down.

How can you say that?

Mrs. He couldn't help but said, "Have you given your father-in-law's family half of the money? Why don't you let your son share his in-laws' money? You can even say such a thing. Are you letting your nephew share his father-in-law's money so that you can share your nephew's money? You are buried in the earth, do you have any shame?"
