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

Mo Chenxi asked Mother Liao to send a few snacks to the Zhao family every five days. They were all the ones that Mrs. Zhao said her mother-in-law liked to eat at the Peng family that day, and she said she had ordered them in advance.

This is to express her satisfaction with the marriage.

I also talked about marriage with my daughter, but when she nodded, I didn't feel very happy.

Yes, compared with the young man from the Jiang family in Fengyang Prefecture, Madam Zhao’s second son was not handsome enough.

Women love pretty girls. Wasn’t Mrs. Mo in love with He Wenyan because of his handsome appearance?

Mo Chenxi herself is also obsessed with looks and understands her daughter's loss.

At least the daughter knows that marriage is decided by parents and matchmaker.

The sensible one will figure it out, but the immature one won't understand even if you talk until you vomit blood. Which modern love-brained person doesn't get hurt before realizing that their parents stopped them for their own good?

Mo Chenxi wanted to open the restaurant as soon as possible while He Wenyan was away. Unlike a dim sum shop, he had to reserve a location and buy a shop space.

This can be left to her parents-in-law to handle. She has to convince her father first. She can't just listen to whatever she says because the dim sum shop is successful.

She needed to free up her hands, and she had to have help in the inner house so that she could do other things.

The last time I brought my second brother's wife, Bao, out, one reason was that Fan was pregnant and she was the only one free, and the other was that I saw that she really wanted to learn something, of course, without asking her to pay.

Mo Chenxi called Bao over and prepared two gift boxes of delicious snacks from Wufangzhai for her.

"Sister-in-law, I've been wanting to thank you for your help for a while now, but I never had the time. Take this snack. It's a small token of my gratitude as your sister-in-law."

Bao stood up and bowed, feeling flattered.

"Sister-in-law, you're polite. It's what I should do."

Mo Chenxi continued in a gentle tone, "Sister-in-law, please sit down. We're a family, so don't be polite. Being polite to each other is a waste of time. I'm really grateful to you. When I was sick, you not only helped me keep the house in order, but also made snacks for Yin Hua Shan Kun from time to time. I'm a person who knows how to repay kindness. We're a family, living under the same roof. To be honest, sisters-in-law spend more time together than my own sisters. I'm grateful to you."

Bao was touched, as her sister-in-law had never said these words to her.

She would make some food for her nephews and nieces at that time because she felt sorry for the two children. If her eldest sister-in-law passed away and a stepmother came into the family, she didn't know whether the children would be able to have enough to eat.

Before she got married, her aunt told her that being kind to others would accumulate virtue for her children.

She did all those things without expecting anything in return, but her sister-in-law remembered and thanked her in person, which touched her.

Mo Chenxi continued, “There’s something else I want to discuss with my sister-in-law.”

Bao said apprehensively, "If my sister-in-law has anything to tell me, I will do my best to do it."

"You know I've been ill for a while now, and my body is really not in good shape. I've been taking this medicine all the time. Fortunately, the old lady is not at home, so there will be less trouble. I'm going to recuperate at the farm for a few days, and I want my sister-in-law to continue to help."

Bao agreed cautiously.

The sister-in-law is not the mother-in-law, so I won’t expect her to pay for help.

She said embarrassedly, "I haven't studied much, so I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the accounts well."

What I mean is just don't let her manage the accounts, there's absolutely no problem with her doing the hard work.

Mo Chenxi smiled and said, "Jingyi is about to reach marriage. This time I'm letting her take care of the accounts and learn how to manage the inner house. If she has any questions, you should help her point them out. I know that my sister-in-law is serious about her work and is not the type to fool people, so I'm asking her for help."

Bao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. My niece Jingyi is more capable than me. I was hoping to learn how to keep accounts from her."

This matter was resolved. Mo Chenxi asked his daughter to learn accounting. One reason was to let her learn to manage a house independently, and the other was to live a more fulfilling life. The most important thing in getting married and living a life is not to marry a man of your choice, or for the couple to recite poems and paint, but these diesel, sauce, rice and vinegar.

Mo Chenxi brought his youngest son and daughter back to the farm. There was no other way; he couldn't leave the two little ones at home.

She was going to prepare some food herself at the farm and let the Mo family's parents taste it before discussing the possibility of cooperating with the restaurant.

She had asked Mother Liao to prepare the kitchen in the farm in advance, and before going, she went to Doctor Zhang to get some medicinal herbs for making soup.

After going there, she thought of Mrs. Wang whom she met last time. If Mrs. Wang lived nearby, she could send her the soup she cooked.

The day after the banquet, Old Lady Peng went to the palace to chat with Queen Mother Wang, especially talking about Madam He. She paid close attention to the Queen Mother's expression and saw that she was quite interested, so she said a few more words.

"Mrs. He is not only eloquent but also calm. When Mrs. Jiang mocked her sister-in-law, her expression remained unchanged. Mrs. Zhao, who was standing next to her, felt sorry for her. She said something that made Mrs. Zhao laugh."

The Queen Mother was curious and said that Mrs. Mo was a good talker. Could it be that Mrs. Mo was pretending in front of her that day and knew who she was in advance?

"Mrs. Zhao seems more forthright than Mrs. He. It's clear they have a good relationship. I'm really envious. It's rare for women to be so close and talk to each other.

"When a woman has grievances, she can't go back to her parents' home and tell them to her sisters-in-law. Having a close friend who understands her and with whom she can talk is more important than her husband's love for her."

The Queen Mother recalled that she was chosen as the Crown Princess at the age of twelve, but the Crown Prince did not like her at that time.

Her mother told her to swallow any grievances she had and never tell anyone, including her mother-in-law, because she would always side with her son.

You can’t even say anything about the little sisters you make friends with. Most of them flatter you to your face, envy you, and wish you didn’t live as well as they do so that they can feel comfortable.

The Queen Mother also wanted to have a friend like a sister, but her current status meant she could only be alone.

Fortunately, there was no Empress Dowager in the palace. She was the most important person and didn't need to tell anyone if she wanted to go out and relax.

Queen Mother Wang wanted to visit the newly purchased farm, so she went to Shuangfeng Temple to burn incense first. This time she did not meet Mrs. Mo.

To get to the farm, one had to pass by the He family's small farm. The Queen Mother lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, seeing servants coming in and out.

Eunuch Liang knew that the Empress Dowager was interested in Mo Dianshu's daughter, so he ordered someone to inquire about her.

After arriving at the farm, the smell was fine, nothing unpleasant. Eunuch Liang explained, "After Madam Mo's last visit, the servants at the farm picked out the pig and chicken manure every day and buried it somewhere vacant. Then word got out that Madam Mo wanted to buy some cheap vacant land far away, saying she would use it for growing vegetables, and that she would bury the pig and chicken manure to ferment and use it as fertilizer later."

The Queen Mother laughed, remembering that people called Mo's father Mo Gancai. Could it be that his daughter wanted to learn how to grow vegetables from her father and give dried vegetables to people everywhere?
