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

He Wenyan hurried back home and saw his wife teaching their daughter how to keep accounts.

He relaxed his expression and said to his daughter, "I have something to say to your mother."

He Jingyi put away the account book and went out.

Mo Chenxi didn't know what he was going to say, and his face was gloomy as soon as he entered the door, but he knew his daughter was there, so he didn't say that he got angry as soon as he came in.

He Wenyan sat down and asked directly, "Are you going to open a restaurant business?"

Mo Chenxi nodded and said, "Yes, it was also a coincidence."

"This is no small sum. Even if we buy the shop at 40% off, we still have to rebuild it? What about the subsequent operation?"

Mo Chenxi sneered. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to calculate financial accounts. Why hadn’t he ever calculated the household expenses before?

"The money to buy the shop was borrowed from my eldest brother's father-in-law's family, and the money to rebuild the shop was lent to my eldest brother by his friend. You don't have to worry about the future management of the shop, my father will take care of it."

He Wenyan felt upset. He was concerned. After all, he was the son-in-law of the Mo family and didn't want the Yue family to go bankrupt.

Mo Chenxi said, "By the way, I have something to tell you. Jingyi's marriage is set. Madam Zhao likes Jingyi and wants to marry her to her second son."

He Wenyan...

Just say it instead of discussing it with him.

"The second son of the Zhao family? It seems he didn't even pass the Tongsheng exam, how could he be engaged to his family?"

Mo Chenxi smiled slightly, "Actually, I think the previous candidate from Fengyang Mansion was pretty good, but it's a pity..."

It’s a pity that your mother got involved.

He Wenyan felt upset again after hearing this, and he was also angry with his mother. Not many people could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar at the age of fifteen. Who let his mother mess up this marriage in order to control her daughter-in-law?

No wonder Doctor Zhao was so enthusiastic towards him when he went to the yamen today. He treated him as a relative.

Mo Chenxi said, "I have agreed with the Zhao family that we will wait for you to come back to arrange the marriage. Master, you should also consider Shanluo's marriage. You can't wait until he passes the imperial examination before getting engaged."

She thought to herself, "You despise the Zhao family, so why don't you find an in-law for your son who doesn't despise your son? After all, Doctor Zhao is of a higher rank than you, and the Zhao family is richer than your He family."

Seeing He Wenyan's ugly face, Mo Chenxi felt secretly happy and stabbed him again.

"I'm attracted by the harmonious relationship between the Zhao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I've known Madam Zhao for so many years, and I've never heard her say a bad word about her mother-in-law. Every time I go to the Zhao family, Doctor Zhao's mother is such a kind and gentle old lady. She always gives money to Madam Zhao, takes us out to eat and play, and always asks me to come more often when I'm free. I can't let my daughter go through the hardships I've gone through again."

She said with a smile, looking very envious.

Looking at He Wenyan sideways, what about your family? What about your mother?

She continued, "No matter who Shanluo marries in the future, I don't need to make any promises to my in-laws. I can always do what the Zhao family's mother-in-law did and treat her daughter-in-law as my own daughter. I have a daughter myself, and I also hope that my daughter will be treated well by her in-laws."

Back then, Madam Jiang promised the Mo family that she would treat Mrs. Mo as her own daughter.

He Wenyan knew that his wife said this to him on purpose, meaning that she was not treated well by her mother-in-law in her husband's family.

My mother is a bit unreasonable, and my second sister is a worthless person. After all, she is a married woman and does not live in her parents' home. Why is Madam so petty?

If everyone is so petty, how can any family be safe and sound?

Mo Chenxi snorted in his heart. He Wenyan came in with an expression as if he was coming to accuse someone. This time he was going to poke him in the lungs, and he would poke him hard all at once.

"Mrs. Zhao said tactfully that the Zhao family doesn't care about dowry and is mainly interested in Jingyi from our family. That being said, we can't afford to give away nothing for our daughter's marriage. Master, how do you plan to prepare it? I'll listen to you. Even with the current account balance... I'm worried."

He Wenyan was blocked by his wife's words again.

"I used to think I could ask my parents for some help, but they're borrowing money everywhere now. How can I ask for it? Master, why don't you try to borrow some money?"

He Wenyan didn't say a word. No matter how difficult the family situation was in the past, his wife would never say a word to him. She would find a way out on her own. His wife was virtuous and capable. She managed the household well and was very tolerant towards her mother and second sister. How could she become like this after falling ill?

Why couldn't she be like before?

Don’t you consider the relationship between husband and wife?

Just let him be embarrassed like this?

What's good about her?

As a wife, you ultimately rely on your husband. Do you really not care about the relationship between husband and wife?

Is this her revenge for her mother's mistreatment of her?

He Wenyan watched his wife drinking tea calmly and indifferently, without feeling the pleasure of revenge.

He said aggrievedly, "I know that mother has wronged you in the past. Mother is old, and as her son, I can't do anything about her."

Mo Chenxi raised his eyes to look at him. Why didn't he say that his mother was old and he should be more patient and give in?

If you don't mention how hard it was for his mother to raise him and his brothers, would you just go along with her?

The daughter-in-law was unwilling to endure and give in, so she began to face the problem that was his mother.

But He Wenyan will never face himself.

"I have sent my mother back to the ancestral home. We will live a good life from now on."

Mo Chenxi put down the teacup and said seriously, "I have always been living a good life. Isn't what we just talked about about living a good life? My children are of marriageable age, and I have to think more about them. I have to prepare a dowry for Jingyi and a betrothal gift for Shanluo. The two younger ones are not so bad, so they can still wait for a few years."

Suddenly, Mo Chenxi seemed to remember something and said, "How about finding a merchant wife for Shanluo, just like how mother wanted to find you a second wife from a merchant family? The dowry will definitely be large, and she can also bring a few dowry shops. That way, you don't have to worry about Jingyi's dowry, and you don't have to worry about the marriages of the two younger ones."

She looked excited, but He Wenyan shuddered. Why did Madam look like she was possessed by a ghost?

Suddenly, I remembered that I had been possessed by the hostess of Yingkelai. Could it be that these were the words said by Mrs. Chang when she possessed the lady's body?

Thinking of this, He Wenyan got goosebumps all over his body and felt creepy.

Mo Chenxi didn't think about continuing to pretend to be possessed by Mrs. Chang, but just wanted to use Madam Jiang's words to confront He Wenyan.

I want to add: Is it your family's tradition to make money by marrying wives?

He Wenyan said, "Jingyi's marriage is settled first, and Shanluo's will be discussed later."

He fled in panic.

Mo Chenxi laughed silently, feeling so happy. If he continued to confront her like this, wouldn't he want to save face? Then he would poke his lungs.

She didn't know that she felt good and relieved after talking to He Wenyan like that. The next day, He Wenyan invited a shaman to perform the ritual.

Facing her house, people burned incense, jumped around, and pasted all kinds of talismans, making the room full of smoke. The neighbors thought there was a fire.

Mo Chenxi was angry and went back to her parents' home.

Old Mrs. Mo came running with her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou, and squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers. As soon as they entered the house, they drove away the shaman and scolded He Wenyan.
