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

Mo Yuanji looked displeased. He really didn't know what his daughter was thinking. After being to the gates of hell, she was not afraid of anything anymore, and she could come up with such an idea.

Mo Chenxi said, "I'm not being disrespectful. I feel sorry for the daughter-in-law of the Yingkelai family, and I sympathize with her. They are both the original wives. What she did relieved her anger temporarily and brought disgrace to the man who betrayed her, but how can she rest assured about her children in the afterlife? Her two sons left their hometown, and her three daughters married in the capital. How can she hold her head high in her husband's family?

"Not only will I be able to buy the shop, but I'll also be able to help the owner's wife take care of her three daughters and grandchildren. Even if it weren't for the shop, I'd be willing to do this. Also, my father said that business on this street will be affected this year. If I can pull this off, wouldn't that be killing three birds with one stone?"

Mo Yuanji pondered, just as his daughter said, the three daughters of the host family came to welcome guests, and the eldest daughter was sent to the temple by her in-laws to chant scriptures.

He also felt sorry for the two sons of his employer. It was not easy to leave home. Their biological father had spent twenty years building a family outside. How much property could he leave for his two sons? This time, they were selling their house at a low price and leaving in a hurry.

All the shops on that street were cursing the owner at first, but now they are complaining about the owner's wife, saying that she was so angry with her husband that she jumped into the river or hanged herself in her own home, but now she is running to the door of the shop. Isn't this just implicating irrelevant people?

Despite their complaints, some shop owners would go out into the wild at night to burn paper, begging their wives not to hang around their shops.

Seeing that his father didn't say anything, Mo Chenxi continued to persuade him, "How about this, whether or not I can buy the shop depends on fate. I'm only doing this for the children of the Dong family's wife. I have children too. If anything happens in the future, I'll be as miserable as the Dong family's wife. I hope someone can pity me and my children and help them. Forget about selling the shop. If I don't die, I'm willing to give it to a kind person."

Mo Yuanji sighed. He thought his daughter was particularly sympathetic to the boss's wife because he almost died of illness.

How could my daughter have been so brave before? My daughter has seen Meng Po, so she is not afraid.

He said, "Let's try it as you say, but we can't force the shop to buy it."

Mo Chenxi agreed. She felt the same way. She would do her best. If she couldn't buy the shop, she could at least help the poor woman and her children.

Just as she told her father, she was doing good deeds for her children.

Mo Chenxi went home to wait for news. She wanted to know some of the speaking habits of her boss's wife.

A few days later, Mother Wang asked her to go back to the Mo family. She knew that her father had found out the information she wanted.

When they arrived at the Mo family, Mo Chenxi went to the study. Only they, father and daughter, knew about this matter.

Mo Yuanji said, "I bribed a maid who had served the boss's wife for many years. She said that her master had a fight with the boss that night and sprained her foot. The boss didn't let them guard her, and she didn't know when the master disappeared. That night, the boss went to the second house and was not at home."

Mo Chenxi's eyes lit up. This feature was easy to dress up.

"That old woman said that the last words she heard her master say were that she was blind and that she was going to stare at Chang Gousheng to see what he would do. I guess that was the master's nickname."

Mo Yuanji then mentioned the names of the Dong family's three daughters. "The Dong family's wife favors the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter the most, saying that she looks like the Dong family's wife. This year, she also said that she would take her granddaughter to live in Shuangfeng Temple for a few days."

Mo Chenxi memorized them one by one.

After returning home, she quickly wrote down what her father said. She couldn't let others know about this, so she had to go to East Street under the pretext of going to see Doctor Zhang for prescription medicine, or to buy some things. She had to find an opportunity, especially when there were many people around.

Two days later, before she left the house early in the morning, Mrs. Zhao came hurriedly.

"Sister Mo, I just came from East Street. The two brothers of the daughter-in-law of the host family of Yingkelai invited monks from Shuangfeng Temple to perform a ritual at the entrance of Yingkelai. Many people gathered to watch from afar."

Mo Chenxi's heart moved, and he said, "Then let's go and take a look."

"I just came to look for my sister. I dreamed about my boss's wife a few days ago. She cried to me in the dream. I was so scared that I went to the temple to burn incense the next day. I brought some paper money with me and will burn it for her at the door later."

She said again embarrassedly: "Sister Mo, I'm a little scared, so I came to find you to accompany me to give me courage."

Mo Chenxi said, "I'll buy some paper money to burn for her later. Even though I've never seen it, I feel sad when I think about it."

The two of them went to East Street and walked there because many people were walking that way and it would be impossible to get through if they drove a carriage.

When we got there, there were a lot of people, but no one came close. They were all in groups from a distance, looking towards the welcoming door.

When Mo Chenxi and the others arrived, there were more than a dozen monks sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures. There were many yellow talismans pasted on the welcoming gate, and two men in white clothes were kneeling.

Some people also came over to burn paper, bowed, and left. They were all the owners of this street.

Mrs. Zhao was a little scared when she saw that no woman went to burn paper.

Mo Chenxi said, "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. I'll go with you."

At this time, a pair of women who looked like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to burn paper, muttering something, but it was unclear what they were saying.

Only then did Mrs. Zhao pull Mo Chenxi over.

Mo Chenxi kept an eye on his surroundings. There were yamen runners in the distance, and he was afraid that something might go wrong.

She came so suddenly that she didn't even inform her father.

She squatted with Mrs. Zhao and burned paper, and heard the older woman in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law crying while burning paper.

"Madam, why did you leave like this? It was the money you gave me that saved my son's life. He's married now, and he's not home. I brought his wife here to burn some paper for you. I told my son that you saved his life, and I'll repay you in the future. Madam, why did you leave like this?"

When Mo Chenxi heard this, his body suddenly shook a few times as if he had the hiccups, and then he collapsed to the ground.

Mrs. Zhao was squatting and burning paper. When she saw Mo Chenxi like that, she was frightened and quickly stood up to support him.

"Sister Mo! Sister Mo!"

Mo Chenxi slowly sat up, exhaled, and looked around with a gloomy look in his eyes.

She stood up and said to the old woman, "Sister, I'm so grateful that you still remember me. Don't worry about me in the future. Live a good life. You are lucky to have married a good wife. You will have many children and grandchildren in the future."

The old woman was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. The young daughter-in-law who came with her knelt down and kowtowed continuously.

At this time, the people around held their breath and dared not move. Even the monks who were chanting stopped.

The two younger brothers of the Dong family's wife looked terrified.

Mo Chenxi turned around and limped towards the opposite side, and the people on the opposite side quickly moved aside.
