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

Mo Chenxi found out that it was Mrs. Zhao, the mother-in-law, who proposed Shanluo to the Cao family.

Mrs. Zhao said, "My mother-in-law said she didn't understand others, but she has known you for many years. My mother-in-law praised you for not being the kind of person who would make things difficult for his wife. Not only is you well-educated and well-mannered, but you also have a good temper."

Mo Chenxi said modestly: "Your mother-in-law is too kind, but what she said is right. I will not be a mother-in-law who makes things difficult for my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law is also someone else's daughter. I can't treat her exactly the same as my own daughter after she marries in, but I should also be more considerate."

"Old Madam Cao is a little worried. She says the He family is a very independent family with no family background. She also says that your Mo family just made a mistake. She's also worried that some women become mothers-in-law after being daughters-in-law for many years. She says your mother-in-law is like that and that you've suffered a lot from her mother-in-law before."

Mo Chenxi smiled. It seemed that other people knew a lot about the He family.

Why did people in ancient times choose to marry into large families? First, it was so that they could see the family tradition, and second, they could ask the family for help when they had problems.

When the Mo family's father chose a marriage for his daughter, he thought that the He family was small and had few relatives, so his daughter would not have to work too hard.

Unexpectedly, the He family, who had no relatives, worked his daughter to death.

Madam Zhao said, "My mother-in-law is hosting a banquet at home the day after tomorrow and has invited some familiar female relatives to come. Madam Cao will bring her granddaughter, and you can bring Jingyi with you. We can just get to know each other and see each other."

Mo Chenxi thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to bring my second brother's wife, Bao, with me. I wonder if it's appropriate? For the past six months, my second brother's wife has been helping with housework."

She brought Bao along to let her see the world, and also as a reward for her hard work.

They are illegitimate sons and daughters-in-law. It is difficult for them to attend such a banquet if their mother-in-law does not take them out and their husbands are of low rank.

Mrs. Zhao said, "What's the point of it being appropriate? Bringing her along will make it seem like you two sisters-in-law are getting along well."

Mo Chenxi didn't explain much, just let her think so.

Madam Zhao added, "I've also invited Madam Jiang." She felt a little embarrassed. "You know Madam Jiang. If I hadn't invited her, she might have slandered me behind my back. Although my mother-in-law and I both dislike her, we don't want to offend her openly."

Mo Chenxi said: "It's okay, she's not targeting me alone, she's like that to everyone. At most, she'll make fun of me. My husband got demoted, and she's one level higher than me. I'll just ignore her."

Mrs. Zhao then told him about He Wenyan's demotion. "My master is also very puzzled. Why was he demoted so suddenly?"

She comforted Mo Chenxi again, "My master said that it is easiest to gain merit by going out to do things. My master admires Mr. He at work. He never does things perfunctorily and always does everything he is given."

Mo Chenxi knew that Mrs. Zhao was exaggerating a bit, but this was the only thing that He Wenyan could show off. After all, he was not the kind of man who was hopeless and could not get anything done. He was very serious and responsible about his work.

Unlike modern fathers, who don't work hard and complain all day long that they are not appreciated for their talents, that their superiors have no vision, or that they were promoted by someone with connections.

Anyway, he is perfect, it's all other people's fault.

After Madam Zhao left, Mo Chenxi told her daughter and Mrs. Bao that they needed to prepare clothes and jewelry in advance for the banquet.

He Jingyi was going to her future mother-in-law's house. Although she had been there with her mother before, this time was different and she was a little nervous.

Bao was even more nervous. Her stepmother in her natal family wouldn't let her go out. After she married into the He family, her mother-in-law ignored her. Her former sister-in-law didn't make things difficult for her, but she never took her out either.

Mo Chenxi said to her gently, "You should also prepare clothes and jewelry to wear when you go out. Just be generous and open-minded. Before, with the old lady around, it wasn't convenient for me to go out with you. In the future, you should go out more often when you have the chance. If you have someone to date, the old lady won't be able to say anything when she comes back."

Bao was very grateful and kept saying thank you.

She went back happily. Her husband happened to be at home. She told him about this matter and then became worried about not having good jewelry.

He Wenpu was also very happy and said that he would go to the jewelry store tomorrow to buy a few pieces for Bao so that she would not be laughed at when she went out.

The men in the He family had to hand over their salaries to the public, but they could secretly save some of their extra income, especially the concubines, who were disliked by their stepmother, and they had to save some money for their future family.

On the day, Mo Chenxi took her daughter and Bao to the Zhao family.

The Zhao family's house is bigger than the He family's. There is a small garden in the yard where Mrs. Zhao lives. The weather is neither too cold nor too hot at this time, so guests are entertained in the garden.

Mo Chenxi was the first to arrive. She wanted to talk to Old Madam Zhao. This was the first time He Jingyi came to the Zhao family after the two families verbally agreed on the marriage.

Madam Zhao was very enthusiastic. She held He Jingyi's hand and praised her endlessly, "I heard that you are in charge of the family now. I will tell you, Aunt Zhao, that I will never make a mistake in judging people."

He Jingyi blushed shyly and said, "It's all my second aunt who helps me, so I just do odd jobs."

Bao was sitting nearby, and since the host didn't mention her, she didn't know how to respond.

Madam Zhao let go of He Jingyi's hand and said to Bao with a smile, "Second Aunt, I've heard your eldest sister-in-law talk about you. You and your sisters-in-law get along well. Your eldest sister-in-law is a kind person who does more than she says. You are also a blessed person. Having a good sister-in-law is better than having a good sister."

Bao quickly stood up and said, "The old lady is right. My sister-in-law treats me like her own sister."

Mrs. Zhao saw that Bao's voice was trembling with nervousness and shook her head.

Although Mrs. Jiang is the daughter of a scholar, she is not even as good as an old country lady. The Jiang family really doesn't know how to educate their daughter.

Almost all mothers-in-law disliked illegitimate children and daughters-in-law, but going out with them was a disgrace to the He family. She would have ignored illegitimate children and daughters-in-law, but she had spoiled her own daughter so much that she brought disgrace upon herself.

Old Madam Zhao chose He Jingyi as her match for her grandson after considering various factors, one of which was that He Jingyi was not ugly.

The grandson looks like his father. He is not good-looking, but he likes beautiful women.

The daughter-in-law was not very good-looking, so when her son favored a beautiful concubine that year, she sided with her daughter-in-law and beat her son.

Although my son did not favor his concubine over his wife, what kind of example did he set for his grandson by doing this?

If her grandson follows suit, it will be a sign of family chaos. Others say that she is siding with her daughter-in-law, but in the final analysis, she is still siding with her own Zhao family.

Only with a good family tradition can you marry a good daughter-in-law, and only with a good daughter-in-law can you have good grandchildren.

Men only look at whether a woman is pretty or not.

Therefore, when Mrs. Zhao chooses a grandson's wife for her grandson, she has to consider this aspect.

Mrs. Zhao's youngest daughter was thirteen years old. She pulled He Jingyi to her room to talk. Bao was listening attentively to what her sister-in-law and Mrs. Zhao were saying. She wanted to learn something.

Guests arrived one after another, and were all a little surprised to see Mo Chenxi.

Mo Chenxi knew that the Zhao family invited her over because He Wenyan was demoted.

Second, this is her first appearance since the demonic possession.

Old Madam Cao came with her granddaughter Cao Yue'e.

Mo Chenxi first looked at Cao Yu'e. She was not the kind of weak and delicate girl. She was above average height and had above average looks.

Her first thought was that she would be able to defeat He Shanluo in the future.

He Wenyan has already been stereotyped and is difficult to change. If He Shanluo had a sensible, decent and capable wife, she could teach him to change.

Teaching includes beating your husband, because some men will not grow without being beaten.

My modern aunt has the opposite personality to my mother. She is both talkative and violent. My uncle was promoted from a clerk to a full-time section chief. He even laughed and said that it was beaten by his wife.

My aunt is very disappointed with my mother, saying that she considers this and that, but in the end no one considers her. It would be better if she was more capable from the beginning. My mother-in-law didn't teach her son well, so you were blindly chosen and you should teach him yourself.
