Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day
Chapter 80 The Old Maid Who Can't Get Married
He Wenyan walked quickly, fearing that his second sister would catch up with him.
After returning home, I remembered that I had a cousin. I felt so embarrassed to let a younger generation see these.
But there was one gratifying thing. The teacher of the academy tested my cousin and decided on the spot to let him enter the academy. It would be an honor for the He family if my cousin could pass the entrance exam in the future.
He Wenyan said to He Shanqiao, "I've told your aunt and uncle that they'll take care of you when I'm not home."
He Shanqiao said: "I can take good care of myself. I also lived in the academy when I was studying in Xiangzhou."
Their family was in charge of the ancestral home and lived a pretty good life. When he came, his family gave him some money and asked him to try not to spend their money.
I came to Beijing hoping to study in an academy there.
The He family's great-grandfather's succession to multiple generations is known to all their descendants in Xiangzhou.
Although the two families do not interact with each other, the business of the eldest wife is managed by their family.
When my cousin came back this time, my father gave him everything he needed and also gave him the rent he had collected over the years.
My cousin refused to take it and said he would give it to the clan. My father would continue to manage the land and the harvest would be given to their family.
The divided land and houses were taken to the government office to have their names changed.
My cousin's mother, Mrs. Jiang, said that my cousin was poor but generous and didn't want the money he had earned. She scolded her son so loudly that everyone could hear it.
My grandmother said that people in Beijing are just like that.
The one that Xiangzhou wanted to introduce to my uncle's father was my grandmother's cousin. There was a grudge between the previous generation, and the two daughters-in-law of the next generation were cousins, so it would be easier for them to get along.
Who knew that my cousin's grandmother was unwilling and married the daughter of a scholar in Beijing, namely Madam Jiang.
He Shanqiao felt that his uncle had only done one thing right, which was marrying his aunt, who was not only the daughter of a Jinshi, but also a person who was not mean in her words and deeds.
He learned that his cousin was going to Tongzhou the day after tomorrow, so he prepared to pack up and move to the academy tomorrow, and try to come back as little as possible in the future.
In the evening, He Wenpu and He Wenliang came to see their eldest brother. After He Wenliang imitated his second sister's words, he said bitterly, "How could I have such a vicious sister? She cursed the Mo Family Restaurant before it even opened."
He Wenpu explained, "It seems that the eldest sister-in-law said that the restaurant belonged to her mother's family, not her dowry shop, and that everyone who went there would have to pay the bill. The second sister was unhappy and said those words, and Bao and the eldest niece heard it at the door."
He Wenyan understood that this was to prevent his second sister from arguing in front of him that she did not say that and that others were wrongly accusing her.
He Wenliang said, "The eldest brother is like a father. Can you control her? Maybe she will tell you that she is doing this for the good of her family and it was her sister-in-law who didn't appreciate it and kicked her out."
He Wenpu quickly said, "My sister-in-law didn't kick her out. She left on her own. She didn't even say hello to Bao and my niece when she saw them."
He Wenyan had a headache. No wonder it was said that even a fair judge could not judge family affairs.
Fortunately, I am going to Tongzhou and don’t have to face these troubles.
He said, "I told my second sister not to come back to her parents' home and to mind her own business."
He Wenliang said, "Okay, I'll tell the servants not to let my second sister in when she comes back."
He Wenyan nodded. Maybe he would not be in the capital for the whole year, so they could do whatever they wanted.
But I have to tell my wife to treat my second sister as a lunatic and ignore her.
When Mo Chenxi saw He Wenyan coming to talk about the He family, she told him about the last time He family threatened her.
"Just because I didn't take her to the banquet, she said she'd divorce me when you came back. She said the same thing again today, saying that I'm from an outsider family and that her surname is He. If you don't agree to Shanluo marrying a relative of the Gao family, you'll divorce me. She also said that it's only natural for an aunt to make decisions for her nephew, and that I, whose surname is Mo, have no right to interfere. I think she's really crazy. She's saying that my surname is Mo and I'm from an outsider family, and then she said that when the Mo family restaurant is built, her Gao family will go to dine there and reserve a private room in advance, saying that it's to give face to the Mo family and help with publicity. Why does everyone have to make plans for her? I didn't agree, so she cursed me."
He Wenyan said with a dark face: "Don't pay attention to her in the future, just say what I said."
Mo Chenxi said, "I'm worried that she'll have a hard time explaining herself when she returns to her in-laws' house. Then, we'll tell her mother-in-law that we agree to the marriage. Then, we'll spread the word, and even if the He family doesn't agree, they'll have no choice but to accept it."
He Wenyan slammed the table, "Don't even think about it! I told my second sister that if Shanluo can't find a wife, he won't marry someone from the Gao family."
Mo Chenxi said: "What's the point of saying this? What are you going to do if Second Sister really does this?"
He Wenyan didn't answer directly, saying, "What good will it do her to cheat her nephew?"
Mo Chenxi continued to ask: "I don't care what benefits she gets, what if she really does this?"
He Wenyan then said, "Why don't you go to the Gao family and tell them that Shanluo's marriage is decided by your father-in-law."
Mo Chenxi was so angry that his teeth were itching. Just like his father in his previous life, he would avoid trouble whenever possible, or let his wife and children take the blame.
He Wenyan is so good that he still uses the Mo family as a shield.
She said, "What if I say that and she insists on going to my parents' house to find out? My father will find excuses to refuse, and my second sister will be even more resentful of my parents' family. Then she'll spread the word that someone has died in my family's restaurant and it's unlucky."
He Wenyan couldn't guarantee that his second sister wouldn't do this.
"I think it's better for you to go there tomorrow, lest you arrive too late and my second sister has arranged a marriage with relatives from Shanluo and Gao's family."
No matter how reluctant He Wenyan was, he had to think about his son. The next day, he bought a gift and went to Gao's house, saying that he would come over to let them know when he went to Tongzhou to handle a case.
The second sister's mother-in-law was extremely happy. "My nephew is so polite. We are relatives, and we will be even closer in the future. Don't worry, I will let my second sister go back to look after the He family often after you leave."
He Wenyan immediately looked at his second sister and saw that she was lowering her head guiltily.
"Aunt, I heard from Shanluo's mother that my second sister came back and proposed a marriage to my Shanluo. I'm so sorry. I've already arranged a marriage for Shanluo and was just about to let my second sister know when it was finalized. I'm very grateful that you think highly of my Shanluo, but it's just not meant to be."
Grandma Gao glanced at He and said, "Your second sister said you agree."
He Wenyan smiled apologetically and said, "Perhaps my second sister misheard and blames me for not explaining it clearly."
Grandma Gao's face immediately fell. "How could I have misunderstood what she said? How am I supposed to explain this to my brothers from my mother's family?"
He Wenyan thought to himself, how come he is just like his own mother, except that his mother only brings harm to her own children and grandchildren, and never mentions harming the children and grandchildren of her in-laws.
He didn't care who Grandma Gao gave instructions to or how they gave them instructions. He just said a few polite words and left.
He followed her eldest brother out, her eyes red as she said, "Brother, are you trying to ruin my plan like this? I've already told my mother-in-law that he and his wife agree."
He Wenyan said, "Are we willing? Why are you talking nonsense?"
He said, "Shanluo didn't even pass the imperial examination, so it's lucky he's found someone to marry. Why don't you want to? Didn't you also say that your nephew couldn't find a wife? I'm thinking about your nephew. If he's already eighteen and still hasn't gotten engaged, wouldn't that delay Jingyi?"
He Wenyan really wanted to slap her. Her own nephew was so dirty, and in order to curry favor with her in-laws, she used her own family to fill the hole?
It is hard to imagine what kind of talent the Gao family will choose. Maybe it will be an old maid who can't get married.
In the past, it was the second sister who instigated the mother and what the mother said in front of him.
This time I truly understood what kind of person my second sister is.
