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

Mo Chenxi did as Old Lady Mo said and didn't let anyone disturb her at her parents' home. Her two sisters-in-law only came to visit her after she had been bedridden for two days.

Mo Xinzhi's wife, Zhou, is tall and strong. Her family is a bodyguard. She was able to marry into the Mo family as the eldest daughter-in-law because her uncle and Mo Yuanji knew each other.

The Mo family has a shortcoming, which is that they are relatively short. Mo Chenxi estimated that his original body was only about 1.5 meters tall, but the people here are not as tall as the average height of modern people.

Mo Yuanji and Old Lady Mo were both short and a bit overweight. Mo Xinzhi was about 5 feet 4 inches tall, and Mo Xinrong was a bit taller than the eldest brother, but still under 5 feet 4 inches.

On the contrary, the He family members tend to be tall and thin. He Wenyan is 1.7 meters tall, and He Wenliang is a few centimeters taller.

Mo Chenxi suspected that his father was attracted to He Wenyan, first of all because of his height.

1.7 meters is considered tall, which is a bit ridiculous.

Mo Chenxi is 1.68 meters tall in modern times, which is considered tall among women.

Mo Xinrong's wife, Li, whose father was a juren, is not tall, but taller than Mo Chenxi.

Both of them were holding supplements and spoke carefully. Zhou probably had a loud voice, so she covered her mouth when she spoke quickly.

Mrs. Li is gentle, with curved eyes and polite speech. After all, she comes from a family of scholars.

Mrs. Mo was the eldest sister. After she got married, her younger brother got married and she didn't go back to her parents' home often. It was obvious at first glance that her two sisters-in-law were not familiar with her.

Their attitude was respectful, firstly because Mo was the elder sister-in-law, and secondly because Mo was, after all, a noble lady, and in their eyes, a noble elder sister-in-law.

Mo Chenxi was gentle and tried to be as cordial as possible when speaking. The two sisters-in-law were a little flattered, and their eyes lit up.

Mo Chenxi suspected that the original body might have inadvertently shown "Quadrigonism" in front of her sister-in-law, otherwise she would not have shown a little kindness, and her sister-in-law would not have reacted like this.

The original body was not only stupid, but also dull and dumb.

You rely on your natal family, use your dowry to subsidize your husband's family, and act like a spoiled brat in front of your natal brother-in-law. In the end, you are exhausted, and your husband's family still thinks you are not working hard enough.

Two words: you deserve it!

Mo Yuanji also told his wife that his daughter deserved it.

"How many times have I told her not to be so strong-willed? She works so hard, but what does she get in return? I told her not to take on everything, but she said she was the eldest daughter-in-law. Does the eldest daughter-in-law want her life? Now, is there anyone who appreciates her? Does anyone know how good she is? Humph! Maybe they're even complaining about me getting sick and why I didn't take care of the inner chambers while I was sick?"

He became more and more angry as he spoke, and slammed the table. "He Wenyan still blames her for abandoning the He family and caring about himself. I was so blind to marry my daughter to him! If it weren't for Shanluo Jingyi and the others, I really want them to divide their property and live separately, and let He Wenyan do it on his own!"

Old Mrs. Mo was also angry at the He family and her son-in-law, but she was even angrier at her own daughter.

"Is it any use saying all this? Jingyi's mother is stubborn and wholeheartedly supports her son-in-law. Oh! For the sake of our grandchildren, let's be more tolerant. I'll persuade my daughter later. Now that it's like this, don't be stubborn. Your health is more important.

"I think she seems to understand, otherwise she wouldn't have come back with me so readily this time. Also, Madam Liao said she won't allow the dowry shop to send her money anymore, and said we'll talk about it later. This is to make things difficult for the He family. Without that money, the He family will be even more nervous. Let them be embarrassed, otherwise they will think our daughter should subsidize their family."

Mo Yuanji said, "I've already asked Shopkeeper Yu to close the shop. He has been giving money to the He family for decades. Now that Jingyi's mother is gone, the He family might collect the money themselves and then say it was Jingyi's mother who said it."

Mrs. Mo spitted and said, "I wonder if my son-in-law has the nerve to ask for the silver. If he really wants to go, I'll have Dazhi deliver the silver to his government office and see if he has the nerve to do so."

Dazhi is Mo Xinzhi, Mo Chenxi's older brother.

The old couple of the Mo family guessed correctly. Old Madam Jiang asked her son to go to the Mo family's dowry shop to collect the profits of the past two months.

He Wenyan was shocked and looked at Madam Jiang as if she didn't recognize her mother.

He knew that his wife used her dowry shop to supplement the family income, but she was willing to do so. If it was someone else's family, he would have called them shameless.

But the mother is doing something shameless.

Seeing her son's expression, Madam Jiang said, "Why? Don't you know that the money from Jingyi's mother's shop has always been used by our family?"

He Wenyan said, "I know Jingyi's mother never mentioned it to me, so I'm grateful to her. But that's her dowry shop. Did she ask me to go and get the money?"

Madam Jiang argued, "Didn't her dowry still go to the children she gave birth to? She took it all before, so what if she took it now? It's not because she was sick and spent too much on seeing a doctor. Mother would not let you go even if she had a way."

He Wenyan was so angry that he almost laughed. "My children in the He family have to rely on the dowry of their daughter-in-law to support them? If I don't pay for my daughter-in-law's illness, should I expect the Mo family to pay for it? Mother is so good at accounting, why doesn't she ask my uncle for the money to support us brothers?"

Madam Jiang was furious and slammed the table, saying, "Who am I doing this for? I'm doing this for our family! Look at how much money is left on the books? What you've paid into the treasury isn't enough for what you've taken out. Do you expect me to produce money?"

He Wenyan was also angry. As a man, he never cared about the affairs of the inner house. In the past, his family was harmonious and his wife managed the housework in an orderly manner.

Why did my sister-in-law make such a mess, and when I came to my mother's house, there was not even any money for the household expenses?

His third brother was not at home, and he didn't even have anyone to talk to. He couldn't tell this kind of thing to outsiders, it was embarrassing.

You must not tell this to your second brother, as it would make him laugh at you.

Seeing that her son was not going, Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to send her mother to go, but her mother came back and said that the shop was closed.

Madam Jiang slammed the table again and said angrily, "Are you going to divorce? No wonder they took Madam Mo back. I wonder who the Mo family is going to marry their daughter who gave birth to four children for the He family! Does the Mo family think their daughter is a young and beautiful woman? Divorce her immediately!"

He Jingyi, who was standing outside the door, was shaking with anger. Her mother was so sick that her grandmother took her back to take care of her. Her mother's dowry shop had been used to supplement the family income for so many years, but in the end, her grandmother still said this about her mother.

She turned and ran.

He Wenliang just came back from outside and saw his niece running away crying. He didn't know what had happened.

He went to his mother first. When Mrs. Jiang saw her youngest son coming back, she asked him about his health and let him go back to his own yard to rest.

After He Wenliang returned, he heard from Mrs. Fan that his eldest sister-in-law had been taken away by the Mo family, and his eldest niece stayed to help her mother with housework.

He thought that his eldest niece had upset her mother and was scolded, so he wanted to comfort her and talk to her at the same time.

He Jingyi saw her third uncle advising her not to argue with the elders and to be more considerate.

She explained the reasons all at once, saying that she would not cry when she was wronged, but she was crying for her mother.

He Wenliang was stunned. He felt ashamed in front of his eldest niece and ashamed of his mother's actions and words.

He waited for his eldest brother to come back and told his eldest niece everything his mother said about sending someone to ask for money from his eldest sister-in-law's dowry shop but failing to get it.

He Wenyan...

The two brothers faced each other, ashamed.
