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

He Wenyan felt annoyed when he heard his third brother's instructions.

In the past, he, as the older brother, always gave instructions to his younger brother, but the younger brother said this, which showed that he had known what his mother was like for a long time.

It was also because he was too filial in the past. When his third brother sometimes complained about their mother, he would scold him, saying that it was not easy for their mother to raise them, and how could a son despise his mother.

Mrs. Jiang suggested taking her eldest grandson back with her, but this time He Wenyan did not obey his mother.

"Shanluo is already seventeen, it's time for him to try to support a family."

Seeing his mother wanted to say something, he added, "He's not engaged yet. What if he returns to the ancestral home and someone asks him to get married?"

Old Madam Jiang felt that her son was very thoughtful and that the eldest grandson of the He family could not afford to marry in a remote countryside.

She also suggested taking care of the grandson, but He Wenyan refuted every suggestion she made.

He Wenyan now understood what his mother meant. It was simply that the Mo family would provide money for whichever of his children he took away.

He used to think that what the Mo family gave to their grandson was natural, but now his mother's behavior made him uncomfortable, as if his children were hostages of the Mo family.

Mother feels like your Mo family is held hostage in my hands, so it is only natural for me to spend the Mo family's money.

Now his children are all in the Mo family. If he goes to the Mo family and asks to take the children with him, he will not be able to bear the humiliation of the way the Mo family looks at him.

It takes time to prepare for a trip back home.

Seeing that her brother did not come, Mrs. Jiang became a little hesitant and wondered whether she should let her son go to her uncle's house to ask. In case her brother solved the problem of the Tao family, she and her son would not have to return to Xiangzhou.

Before I could tell the eldest son, the youngest son came in with a sullen face.

Mrs. Jiang's heart beat faster, and she was now afraid that something might happen at home.

"What happened again?"

Her voice trembled as she spoke.

"I just entered the city and met my cousin. He said my uncle was sick. I gave him two taels of silver and asked him to go home and take good care of my uncle."

Mrs. Jiang said nothing. She did not panic and prepare things for her son to visit her brother as she did in the past when she heard that her brother was sick.

It must be an excuse for her brother to ask her nephew to come to the He family. She thought her youngest son didn't know about this.

He Wenliang said angrily, "My uncle is sick, and my cousin is dressed up in fancy clothes. Instead of going to the county town to find a doctor, he came to our house to ask for help. Do we have a doctor at home?"

Madam Jiang defended her brother, "That's because your uncle was afraid that I would be anxious."

"Mom doesn't know that Uncle is sick, so why are you so anxious? Even if you catch a cold and cough a few times, you should still tell me. Aren't you afraid of spending money on the journey?"

He Wenliang could no longer bear it. He knew he was not sick this time, but he had been sick countless times in the past throughout the year.

He said, "I'm making this clear today. It's not that I'm disrespectful to my uncle, but if my mother asks me to go to his house and give him some medicine or money whenever he has a headache or a fever or sneezes, I'll definitely bring them back. If I give it to your neighbor next door, he'll appreciate my kindness. But if I give it to my uncle, he'll still accuse me of being unfilial."

Madam Jiang said, "He is your uncle, you should be filial to him. The neighbors are good people and they wish our family bad luck."

She endured it and didn't say it out loud. If it wasn't for the old lady next door, Mrs. Yang, who instigated her, how could she have caused such a big trouble for her son?

She glared at her son and said, "You've never given me peace of mind since you were little. If you were half as good as your brother, I'd be so lucky."

Mrs. Jiang did not hesitate this time and urged her son to leave quickly. Before leaving, she did not mention her in-laws and did not expect any travel expenses.

Before leaving, He Wenyan went to the Mo family and said he would take his mother back home.

Mo Yuanji said, "I have always praised my son-in-law for his filial piety. The day before yesterday, I had dinner with Doctor Wu and praised you to him. Doctor Wu also praised you for your diligence and meticulousness in your work. That year, there was a cheating incident in the imperial examination. The late emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. That time, I told Doctor Wu that I was confident in my son-in-law's work."

He Wenyan was surprised, because it was that time that he was promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, and a few years later he was promoted to the fifth rank.

He vaguely felt that Doctor Wu was taking care of him and thought it was because he worked hard.

It turned out that it was his father-in-law who helped him in the beginning.

He Wenyan stood up and thanked his father-in-law.

But my heart is very complicated.

It turns out that he didn't get promoted by his own ability.

He also understood that his father-in-law had never mentioned it before because he was giving him face.

To mention it now is to suppress him.

He Wenyan thought he would see his wife and children, but he didn't see any of them. His father-in-law gave him a letter and told him to read it when he got home.

When he opened it after returning home, he found a silver note worth one thousand taels.

He Wenyan was in mixed feelings. He really wanted to be righteous and return the banknotes, but he knew that he urgently needed the money.

There are various expenses for returning to the ancestral home, including entertaining guests and giving gifts. How can it not cost money?

Old Mrs. Mo was unhappy that her husband gave so much silver to her son-in-law, and her face was dark.

Mo Yuanji said to his eldest son, "I gave him this money not because he is my son-in-law. Even if it was a colleague returning home, I would give him five or ten taels. It's just that he is Shanluo's biological father and he is in urgent need. It is better to give charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake. Even if your sister really divorces He Wenyan, I will give him money if he takes his mother back home, but not this much.

"If your sister doesn't have children, I don't care what the He family's future holds. But for Shanluo and his friends, having a good father is better than a bastard father. He hasn't even proposed marriage yet, so who wouldn't care about the parents at home?"

Mo Xinzhi also has children. He understands what his father says and does not think that his father is a pushover for giving money to his brother-in-law.

"I've done so much before, and this is all I need? No matter who you are, don't make enemies for yourself and your family. Things that can be solved with money are not a big deal, but you can't let others treat you like a fool."

Mo Chenxi was listening next door, and he knew his father was talking to her.

Because the original body had used money to solve the problem before, but the He family treated her as a fool, otherwise they would not have asked for money blindly and blamed her for not doing well enough.

He Wenyan came over, but Mo Chenxi didn't let the child come out.

She waited until He Wenyan decided to take Mrs. Jiang back home before telling her children everything.

She didn't think hiding it from the children was good for them. The youngest, He Yinhua, was ten years old, and some wealthy families' ten-year-old daughters began to teach housekeeping.

The original body learned everything since childhood, got married and died of illness, so she traveled through time and space to replace him.

Mo Chenxi said it all. She said it with the mentality of Mrs. Mo at the beginning. When she married into the He family, she thought that the couple would love each other and work together to live a good life, and use the dowry shop to supplement the family income.

What follows is what happened after she traveled through time, why she went to Huai County to recuperate, and why she forced herself to come back to take care of the housework when the He family was in chaos.

The second aunt made a fuss because she couldn't get any snacks. Her mother-in-law despised her for being incompetent and wanted to find a rich merchant girl to be her second wife and bring her back.

All said.

Why is it so detailed? Because it lets the child know that she is not being unreasonable.

Especially the eldest son, He Shanluo. Although he was the oldest, he had lived in the academy since he was twelve years old and knew almost nothing about what Mo Chenxi said.

If she didn't tell him, He Shanluo would listen to Mrs. Jiang's nonsense in the future and think that his mother had done something unvirtuous and unfilial.
