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

Mrs. Zhao came over.

This kind of gossip is rare in a century. Although the hostess who welcomed the guests was a merchant woman, as the original wife, everyone felt sorry for her.

"I've spoken to the boss's wife a few times. She's quite forthright. I heard the boss made her fortune thanks to her father-in-law's family. She originally opened a small restaurant, using recipes she brought from her parents' home. The boss is a capable man, and over the years he's slowly expanded his restaurant and later opened a restaurant to welcome guests.

"Speaking of which, the boss's wife's sister-in-law also has complaints, saying her parents-in-law gave the recipe to her eldest sister-in-law. The boss's wife has been through a lot with him. In the beginning, it was just the two of them running the small restaurant, working from dawn to dusk, and giving birth to two sons and three daughters. In the end, the boss kept it a secret from her for twenty years and took on a second wife."

Mo Chenxi asked, "After all these years, the Dong family's wife didn't know?"

“Don’t even mention the Dong family’s wife. People outside know very little about it. If it weren’t for this incident, others would have thought that the Dong family and their wife were in love.”

Mrs. Zhao sighed as she spoke, "At this age, what's there to worry about? I'll just take care of my children and grandchildren and live a good life. I'll grab the money, and he can find whoever he wants."

Mo Chenxi said, "She's unwilling to accept this. Perhaps she chose the person she loved and invested all her emotions in. If someone had comforted her when she heard about this, she might have gotten over it. Didn't she say her husband beat her? Husbands and wives often say extreme things during arguments, and then she got beaten by her husband. There's no point in letting things go wrong at this point. She just does whatever comes to mind. She just wants to make this man she hates be condemned by everyone."

Mrs. Zhao said, "What's the point? If my husband is gone, won't my son be implicated as well? Fortunately, my children are already married, otherwise marriages would be troublesome."

"When a person is in grief and collapse, who would think so much? In the end, men are nothing."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Mo Chenxi, and thought that she was also using her dowry to subsidize her in-laws, so she didn't want to say anything more.

She gently advised, "So, women, don't put all your thoughts on men. Think more about your children and your parents. You can't let your parents die young. The Dong family's wife lost her parents, but she still has brothers. This time, her two brothers almost beat the Dong family to death, but the Dong family's wife hanged herself, so there was no way to report it to the police."

"I think there's going to be some commotion. Yingkelai won't be able to continue operating this time. They can't even sell anything. Who wouldn't find that unlucky? The boss's wife wanted to ruin the boss and bring him down, so she chose to hang herself at the gate."

Mo Chenxi was thinking about Mrs. Mo. What would Mrs. Mo do if He Wenyan had a mistress outside?

Anyway, she would not hang herself, nor would she think of ruining He Wenyan's reputation and leaving the scumbag to start a new life.

She could do it because she was not Mrs. Mo and she had no feelings for He Wenyan.

Mo Chenxi also paid attention to the matter of Yingkelai. In the end, the boss compensated the Yue family and mortgaged the shop to the brother-in-law of the second wife. Because the daughter born by the second wife became a concubine of the brother-in-law of Prince Weixing, the brothers of the boss's wife did not dare to deal with it.

The most pitiful ones are the children born to the original wife. Not only did they lose their mother, but they also have a father like this and cannot hold their heads up.

More than a month later, no one expected that the two sons of Yingkelai's host sold their residence in the capital and left with their families suddenly.

The two sons kept vigil for their mother for 49 days, because the daughter-in-law of the eastern family died a violent death and her husband's family would not allow her to be buried in the ancestral tomb.

The two sons did not make a fuss. After forty-nine days, they cremated their mother and put the ashes in a jar, saying that they would keep them in the temple for a few days before burying them.

The boss, perhaps out of guilt or being forced, chanted sutras for his wife in the temple.

However, the two sons left their father behind and left without even telling their uncle's family. No one knew where they went.

When the boss came back from the temple, he couldn't get in the door. Someone had changed, so he hurried back to the temple and saw that the jar was empty.

Mrs. Zhao came again, her tone was gloating.

"Serves him right! Let the second wife's son take care of him in his old age. The Dong family's wife didn't give birth to these two sons in vain, she's got blood!"

Mo Chenxi felt that her mammary ducts were unobstructed. A woman was forced to death by a man, and her son took care of the man in his old age and till his death. Any woman would be so angry that she would want to jump out of the coffin.

The He family used to have Old Madam Jiang at home, and Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Zhao would go out for tea or go shopping and chat. Now that Old Madam Jiang is gone, Mrs. Zhao comes more often.

Why is it said that in ancient times, even if a woman became a mother-in-law, she could only live a relaxed life if she didn't have a mother-in-law over her head? A wife in her fifties still had to set rules for her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Zhao always praised her mother-in-law and never let her set rules, saying that she was just making trouble for no reason.

That's why Mo Chenxi was willing to let Jingyi marry into the Zhao family.

Mo Chenxi wanted to know what was being sold at Yingkelai’s shop, so she returned to her parents’ home.

Mo Yuanji shook his head and said, "The price is half of what it would be on the market, but no one's buying. A haunted house is the worst thing to do in business. No matter how good the food is, customers won't come in."

Mo Chenxi knew this. Modern people say they are not superstitious, but they still pay attention to this. There was a man who killed his wife, which caused the housing prices in the entire community to plummet.

She was just asking and wasn't interested.

Not only did Yingkelai fail to sell its products, but it also affected the businesses of the neighbors on both sides. All the shops on that street had to invite monks to perform rituals.

One night, someone passed by Yingkelai. I don’t know if he was dazzled or had something to hide, but he tripped and shouted "There's a ghost!" and ran away faster than a rabbit.

The next day, rumors spread that the host's wife was crying at the door of the reception hall.

Now, all the shops around Yingkelai are closed. There is no way to keep them closed, as no one comes in at all.

One is a calligraphy and painting studio, and the other is a silk shop, and both shops also want to sell at low prices.

At this time, the shopkeepers on the street no longer cared whether the daughter of the second wife was the concubine of Wei Xingjunwang's brother-in-law, and they all went to throw rotten eggs at the second wife because their employer lived there.

Prince Weixing scolded his brother-in-law, and the concubine was driven out of the house and returned to her parents' home with a bag.

The landlord looked at the second wife and her son and daughter and cried.

He left his home and became a monk. No temple wanted him, so he had to take his second wife and her family back to his ancestral home, which was said to be in the south.

Real family destruction.

At this time, Mo Chenxi was tempted. If he bought the Yingkelai shop and the shops next door at a low price, he could open a larger restaurant.

The location is good, the shop is bright, and it can also boost business for the entire street.

How to solve the rumors of bad luck and ghosts?

Mo Chenxi went back to her parents' home to discuss things with her father.

Mo Yuanji was also tempted by the price, but he didn't dare to make a bid. This was not a matter of other things, but a matter of life and death.

Why would someone threaten someone by saying, "I'll hang myself at your door?"

This is a curse that destroys families.

Mo Chenxi asked, "Can we ask a senior monk to perform a ritual?"

Mo Yuanji shook his head and said, "If it were so easy, why would it be our turn? Everyone knows it's a tricky matter."

Mo Chenxi would walk along that street when she went home, and she would not be afraid even in broad daylight.
