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

Then everyone in the family knew about it. Mo Chenxi felt that Bao looked at her with some fear. Her daughter Jingyi didn't ask anything, and there was melancholy in her eyes.

The two little ones were even more so. Yinhua stuck to her, hugged her tightly, then let go and buried her head.

Probably to prevent her from seeing the tears in her eyes.

The servants in the house were even more cautious. All the courtyards were quiet. Bao was in charge of the household chores. He Wenpu had almost no regard for the inner house in the past, but this time, he would help Bao and even entered the kitchen.

Mo Chenxi felt that the atmosphere was even more tense than when she had just come here. It was as if everyone knew that she would not live long, and everyone released the kindness and warmth in their hearts.

Of course there is also sympathy and compassion.

She had no choice but to bear the consequences of her own actions.

What Mo Chenxi didn't expect the most was that the eldest brother, He Shanluo, who was originally going to travel with his husband, decided not to go. He didn't explain anything, just came to visit his mother, sat for a while, and left.

Mo Chenxi felt strange and didn't know what he was going to do, so she asked her daughter.

He Jingyi said, "It was my third uncle who talked to my eldest brother. My grandfather wanted my eldest brother to take the Mingjing exam, but he didn't want to. I told my third uncle about it quietly. This time, mother... was sick again, so my third uncle called my eldest brother over. We talked for a long time, and he asked me a lot of questions."

She sighed and said, "Big brother is really something. He doesn't know a lot about our family. No one told him. Can't he see with his eyes? He thinks the family expenses were all left by our grandfather."

She couldn't say it because she thought it was given by her father.

"My third uncle didn't continue his studies. He said he was afraid of exhausting my mother to death."

She lowered her voice and continued, "I was secretly eavesdropping under the window. My third uncle told me what the He family was like before my mother married into the family. It was my mother's hard work that led to their current situation. My third uncle said that he would have been about the same age as my eldest brother then. If the He family was in the same situation as it is now, he would have taken the imperial examination for the Mingjing degree."

Mo Chenxi was grateful to He Wenliang. Perhaps her original self hoped that her son could graduate from high school, and she felt that her brother-in-law was meddling and delaying her son's studies.

But she was grateful that He Shanluo was raised to be so innocent, which was not only He Wenyan's responsibility, but also the Mo family's contribution.

What she taught her eldest son was that he had to go to high school, be like his father, and strive to be a good person to him, but she never mentioned anything about family matters.

How did He Shanluo know?

He Jingyi burst into tears. "People outside say that Mom is too weak, so that's why that merchant's wife...came to Mom. My third uncle said that the wife didn't want Mom to follow in her footsteps. My eldest brother said that Dad isn't the Chang family boss and wouldn't betray Mom. My third uncle couldn't say anything, so I told my eldest brother, what if Grandma forces Dad to divorce his wife? What if Dad wants to be filial to Grandma? But my eldest brother kept silent."

Mo Chenxi comforted her daughter, "No, even if your father wants to be filial to your grandmother, I won't be like Mrs. Chang. For you, I have to live. I still have your grandparents, and I still have a lot to do."

He Jingyi nodded vigorously, "Mom, I will remember what you said. I must live well."

Mrs. Zhao came to see her mother, and she served her on the side. She could see that her future mother-in-law was just as her mother said, with a righteous and kind heart.

Thinking of Mrs. Chang's misery, He Jingyi no longer felt dissatisfied with her marriage. Before, she was attracted by the handsome young man from the Jiang family, but now, what's the use of being good-looking?

My father is also quite handsome. Others say that Mr. Chang doesn't look like a businessman, but more like a teacher.

Mo Chenxi didn't expect that her desire to help Mrs. Chang this time would change the mood of the eldest son and daughter in the family.

She waited for news from her father. If she only bought Yingkelai, she would just need to redecorate the outside and repaint the inside, and then she could open for business.

Mo Yuanji also thought so. In this case, he could afford it, and he would not let his daughter spend any money.

When the Mei brothers came over, he offered to buy it at a 40% discount, but asked them to give the 30% discount to their niece.

The Mei brothers were overjoyed. No wonder the eldest sister said that Mr. Mo was a noble man. They sold the product at the price they proposed and used the 70% discount given by Mr. Mo to give to their niece. As uncles, they didn't have to spend money to help their niece, and they could also give an explanation to their eldest sister.

Mo Yuanji asked Mother Wang to tell his daughter that he had bought the shop and would renovate it later.

Who knew that a few days later, the owners of Yingkelai's two sides sent people to come to the door.

Mo Yuanji was puzzled. These two families had planned to sell their shops before. Were they going to sell them to him too?

After all, he used to be an official in the imperial court, so the two hosts were very respectful and only took up one-third of the chair.

Before Mo Yuanji could ask, one of the owners said, "We have the audacity to come here to discuss something with Master Mo."

Mo Yuanji thought of his daughter again. Could it be that their coming was related to his daughter? Did they want to ask his daughter to come when they wanted to reopen the business and hold a ceremony?

Thinking of this, he immediately became unhappy and his face darkened.

The owner was extremely apprehensive and said, "I know it's a bit abrupt for us to bring this up. Mr. Mo is planning to buy a shop. Although I don't know what kind of business he wants to start, Mr. Zhang and I have discussed it. If Mr. Mo is interested in our shop, the price is negotiable."

Mo Yuanji was stunned. What was going on? Why were they all offering to sell it to him?

The two bosses saw Mo Yuanji's expression and didn't think that he was setting a trap by deliberately using his daughter as some people said.

They went to check and found out that when Mr. Mo wanted to buy a shop and asked the broker for information, Yingkelai had not encountered any problems yet.

And his daughter did have a serious illness last year and she still hasn't recovered.

They asked the wife to go to Zhang's Clinic to see the doctor's daughter-in-law, and deliberately asked questions. The woman named Yu Po said that she had known Mrs. He for many years and talked about some family affairs of the He family. She said that Mrs. He was like Mrs. Chang, and Mr. He was the boss of the Chang family.

They also found out why Lord He sent his mother back to her hometown. It was because the old lady of the He family wanted to take a second wife for her son. They even found out that it was Old Lady Jiang's brother who made the connection.

They were in business, so this was convenient. They asked someone to find the Tao family, and the head of the Tao family admitted it himself. Old Madam Jiang also said that her daughter-in-law was weak and might not live long, so she took a second wife to take care of the inner house. In case she had a son and did not remarry, she would let the second wife be the head of the family.

Uncle Jiang told the Tao family in a roundabout way that they should just treat it as marrying off their daughter. Everyone could understand what he meant, that when marrying off a daughter, one must prepare a dowry.

No wonder Mrs. Chang possessed Mrs. He, as they shared the same suffering.

Merchants used to respect scholars, but now they look down on the He family.

My in-laws are still alive, and their master is also from an official family. He bullies his daughter-in-law so blatantly. Fortunately, my in-laws are still alive, otherwise Mr. He might agree to my mother's arrangement, and then Mrs. He might have the same ending as Mrs. Chang.

It’s no wonder that Mr. Mo wants to buy a shop at such an old age. This is to build up the family business to support his daughter.
