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

Old Mrs. Mo became angrier and angrier as she spoke. Before coming, her husband asked her to speak less.

How can she, as a mother, not speak?

She looked at her son-in-law kneeling in front of the couple and pulled him up.

"Your He family is not at fault. It's my Mo family that is wrong. It was the child's father who was blind to marry his daughter to you."

Mrs. Mo knelt down in front of He Wenyan and said, "I beg you, please let my sick daughter go and spare her life. As her own mother, I will treat her illness and take her home to raise her. I will not ask your He family for money."

Your mother kneels down to her daughter-in-law, so why won’t I kneel down to my son-in-law?

He Wenyan was stunned, then fell to his knees, "Mother-in-law, it's my fault, it's all my fault."

Where did he pass this?

His grandmother knelt down in front of his mother. He was still young at that time and looked at her with fear.

He didn't see his mother kneeling down to Mrs. Mo.

Now that his mother-in-law knelt down to him, he understood what Mrs. Mo said. Was he trying to force her to death?

Mo Chenxi came in at this time. She helped her mother up and said to He Wenyan, "Master, my mother was worried about me and was confused for a moment. Please don't take it to heart."

She didn't expect her mother to retaliate in kind, letting He Wenyan also taste the feeling of being made to kneel down by an elder.

Mo Yuanji went to pull He Wenyan, "We are men, let women do whatever they want, shouldn't we have a good talk?"

He Wenyan was stunned and followed his father-in-law to the study.

Mrs. Mo wiped the hair from her ears and said bitterly, "Don't think I won't throw a tantrum. If I do, the He family will be no match for me."

Mo Chenxi smiled with pursed lips.

"You're still laughing? Mother asks you, do you really want a divorce?"

Mo Chenxi nodded. "It's already like this, how can we still make do with it? I'm afraid my body can't hold on."

Old Madam Mo sighed, "At least my son-in-law has no intention of taking a second wife."

Seeing her daughter was about to speak, she quickly said, "If you really don't want to live together, then get a divorce. Dazhi's wife has relatives in the south. Your two sisters-in-law won't say anything if you go there. Your father and I are not dead yet. I will give you all the money I have. I just want you to live well."

Old Mrs. Mo started crying.

Mo Chenxi was moved by what her mother said.

In ancient times, it was rare for a girl's parents to accept her divorce.

But why didn’t you mention Jingyi and the other four?

"Mom, can you find a way to take care of the four Shanluo brothers and sisters?"

Old Madam Mo shook her head. "It's difficult, or rather impossible. Unless the husband's family agrees, or if the husband's family is guilty of a serious crime and the government awards the marriage to the woman."

Mo Chenxi still held out hope and asked, "Can my father think of a solution?"

Old Madam Mo continued to shake her head. "In the previous dynasty, a princess divorced and took her son with her. Her in-laws went to court and demanded their grandson back. The He family is just your mother-in-law wanting to take a second wife for her son, but your son-in-law didn't agree. We can't even stand to divorce because of this, let alone take the child away."

"Take our family for example. Even if your brother is a worthless person and your sister-in-law wants to divorce, the Mo family will not let her take the child away unless they are facing a disaster, in order to preserve the Mo family bloodline."

Mo Chenxi stopped talking.

She can live a miserable life just for herself, but what about her original child?

She occupied the body of the original owner, and the original owner's parents came to support her decision. She couldn't just take care of herself.

"You are my mother's child, and I love you dearly. Shanluo is old enough to protect his brothers and sisters. As long as you are alive, their mother is still here. I told your father that even if the He family remarries, they can't do anything to Shanluo and the others."

Mo Chenxi understood what her mother meant. It was only because she was so sick that she almost died that her mother agreed to her daughter's divorce.

"How about dividing the property and living separately?"

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

When Mo Chenxi heard his mother still calling He Wenyan son-in-law, he knew that what his mother had just said was just to show the attitude of the two elders.

And this divorce is difficult, unless she leaves on her own without taking the children with her.

It is also difficult to divide property and separate.

Because He Wenyan did not do anything that could give people a handle, even if it was to favor his concubine and kill his wife, he did not do that.

It was his mother's idea to take a second wife, but He Wenyan did not agree.

This time, the Mo family's parents came just to use this opportunity to support their daughter. He Wenyan must agree to the divorce, taking the children away, and dividing the property and living separately. Otherwise, if the case goes to the government, the Mo family will not be able to provide strong evidence, and others will accuse the Mo family of being unreasonable.

Because of a foolish mother-in-law, the bride's family is about to divorce, and the streets are full of divorced women.

Mo Chenxi frowned, and Old Lady Mo reached out and held her hand.

Neither mother nor daughter spoke.

As for He Wenyan, he knelt down before his father-in-law as soon as he entered the study, and Mo Yuanji pulled him up.

"I'm not that ignorant woman, so don't be like that. Let's just treat today as a chat between men. If we have anything to say, we should talk it out. Kneeling here and there doesn't mean nothing will happen just because you kneel down."

He Wenyan stood up and asked his father-in-law to sit down first. He sat down below, occupying only half of the chair.

Mo Yuanji sighed, "How did things become like this? Back then, you were full of energy and had a bright future, so I betrothed my daughter to you. Your mother repeatedly promised Jingyi's grandmother that she would treat her daughter-in-law as her own daughter. We lived in the countryside and she was always at ease.

"Alas! I didn't expect something like this to happen. I'm not speaking to you as your father-in-law, but even if I were your colleague, I'd still like to ask you, you're such a wonderful family, with a son and a daughter, and your son and daughter are supposed to be engaged, how could this happen?"

He Wenyan's embarrassed face.

"You're a father too. I'm an old father. They say that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. But my daughter can't survive. As a father, can I still force my daughter to endure for the sake of my own face?"

Mo Yuanji burst into tears, "Please have pity on me, an old man with white hair. I can't bear the blow of losing my loved one. Not to mention me, Jingyi's mother can't survive. This is our eldest daughter, and we have raised her with care since she was a child."

He wiped his tears with his sleeve as he spoke.

"Jingyi and Yinhua are your daughters. I believe you will do no worse than me and protect them from being mistreated by their stepmother. I still have the same view of my son-in-law as before: he is a man of affection and righteousness. But your mother...

"Alas! You are not wrong to be filial to your elders. The one who is wrong is that my daughter cannot compromise to satisfy the elders."

Mo Yuanji stood up and saluted his son-in-law. "Let me first apologize to your mother on behalf of my daughter. She was ill and her words were a bit careless. My husband and I...ah, we just want our daughter to be alive. Only when she's alive can Shanluo and his family have their mother."

He Wenyan quickly stood up and supported his father-in-law, "I'm so sorry, son-in-law. It's my mother who is confused and made Madam suffer."

Mo Yuanji sat down. "Jingyi's mother's body can't stand repeated confusion. As parents, we love our daughter, and as a son, filial piety comes first. Filial piety is right, I have no objection to this. If my son is unfilial, I will kick him out. He eats my food and drinks my drinks, I bought the family property, I married my daughter-in-law, and I raise my grandchildren with money. How can you still want to disobey and be unfilial?"

He Wenyan was too embarrassed to respond. His mother depended on his daughter-in-law for food and drink, so why did he say that his daughter-in-law was unfilial?
