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

Chapter 316 You Don’t Need to Wear Mourning for Your Mother-in-Law

Ever since his mother hit her head and became really ill, He Wenyan never went to the village outside the city again.

He seldom goes out, or rather, hardly ever goes out. He has never been to his father-in-law's house, and his wife certainly won't come over.

Mo Chenxi always wants to know the situation of the He family because her youngest daughter He Yinhua lives in the He family. She is worried and asks Mother Wang to keep in touch with the servants of the Mo family.

The maidservants around her daughter would also find excuses to go out to buy needles and thread and come to her to talk about the young lady's situation.

After a while, He Yinhua would find excuses to visit her younger sisters, burn incense at the temple, etc., to come and see her mother.

Many years ago, the He family had only one relative, the Jiang family. After losing contact with the Jiang family, they couldn't make an excuse and say that they were going to their "uncle's" house.

Among all the people, He Yinhua was the only one who was about to collapse. Facing her grandmother, the granddaughter became a daughter, and listening to her grandmother's nonsense from time to time, she was confused.

But I couldn’t tell my mother, so I could only cry in front of my sister when I went to see her.

When Mrs. Mo gave birth to her baby and it was one month old, it was impossible to hold a grand full-month banquet under the circumstances.

Mo Chenxi invited people from the second and third wives, as well as everyone in her family, including her concubines and illegitimate children, to have a meal together.

Bao and Fan were in high spirits, and even Bao, who was usually very reserved, couldn't hide the smile on her face.

For them, when their mother-in-law gets this disease, not only do they not have to show up, but their husbands don't have to show up either. It's so worry-free, it's as if their mother-in-law is dead.

Usually, these two people would visit Mo Chenxi from time to time, and never mentioned Old Mrs. Jiang, as if she didn't exist.

He Wenyan came, but he didn't smile the whole time, as if he was going to attend a funeral instead of his own son's full moon party.

Bao and Fan didn't dare to laugh anymore, and the younger generations didn't say much. Only He Wenliang made small talk to prevent the situation from getting any more awkward.

After dinner, everyone left quickly. Mo Chenxi thought He Wenyan would ask his son to send his brother back to the He family, but He Wenliang offered to send his eldest brother back.

He Wenyan said, "No need. I'll ask Shankun to take me back later. I want to talk to your sister-in-law."

He Wenliang looked at his sister-in-law with pleading eyes.

Mo Chenxi understood what her brother-in-law meant. If his elder brother said something unpleasant, he hoped she could endure it.

She thought to herself that blood is blood, and He Wenliang was already a sensible man. As for the relationship between his elder brother and sister-in-law, he still felt more sorry for his elder brother than his sister-in-law.

No wonder parents want to have more children so that when they are gone, their brothers and sisters can take care of each other.

Except for sisters like He.

Doesn’t she also hope that Shanluo, Shankun, Jingyi and Yinghua can take care of each other in the future?

After everyone left, it was just the two of them, the couple. Mo Chenxi didn't bother to ask if you had anything to say. Since he brought it up, just wait for him to say it.

Seeing his wife calm and silent, He Wenyan couldn't help but get angry.

When outsiders saw him, they would ask about his condition and his mother's illness with concern. Not only did his wife not ask a single question at this moment, she had never mentioned going to see her mother before.

Can’t I go during the day and wait until my mother falls asleep?

Even if the mother has all kinds of faults, she is still the grandmother of her children and the biological mother of her husband.

He Wenyan said coldly: "Are you satisfied now?"

Mo Chenxi was stunned for a moment, then said directly: "Is this what I caused? Why should I be satisfied or dissatisfied?"

He Wenyan knew that his wife must be aware of what happened that day. He was furious and felt that his wife was mocking him and that it was he who pushed his mother down and caused the current situation.

"Isn't it because of Shankun's marriage? If you hadn't arranged a marriage for Shankun without my permission, why would I have quarreled with my mother?"

Mo Chenxi looked at him quietly. "You never look at yourself directly. You always put the blame on others, blame others for your mistakes, and avoid your own problems. You can't admit that it's because of you that this family has become like this, and your mother has become like this, so you want to find a culprit, and unfortunately, your daughter-in-law of the He family fits this role perfectly."

He Wenyan's heart was pounding as if it was hit by a hammer, and his temples felt throbbing.

Mo Chenxi was a little frightened when she saw the veins bulging on his forehead. She didn't want him to get hurt by being angry, and it would cause a shadow on his life in front of her.

Don’t say that it would be better to be angry to death. You didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of you. How would that feel?

It’s like He Wenyan was originally a little normal, but because he pushed his mother down and his mother became like that, he became abnormal again.

She was about to stand up and leave when He Wenyan said, "Our marriage is over."

Mo Chenxi bit her tongue and suppressed what she was about to say: It’s all over already, okay?

"I will take care of my mother until she is a hundred years old. When she passes away, you won't have to wear mourning for her!"

Mo Chenxi knew that this was the biggest punishment for being a daughter-in-law. In the mansion, the old lady said this to Yang Jiuhong, and Yang Jiuhong smashed everything in the house like crazy.

Not allowing a daughter-in-law to wear mourning is equivalent to not recognizing her, and she will not be able to be buried in the ancestral tomb in the future.

It’s a pity that Mo Chenxi is a modern person, so he has to wear mourning for Old Mrs. Jiang and be buried with He Wenyan.

She stood up and left.

There was deep resentment in He Wenyan's eyes. His veins bulged just now. If she had said a few words to him, and if he had a cerebral hemorrhage or passed out immediately, it would not be a relief but trouble. Would she feel good about it?

Of course, some people will say that she is a coward and ask why she doesn’t confront He Wenyan and make him angry to death.

He Wenyan just watched his wife leave calmly.

He thought his wife would cry and beg for forgiveness, but she just left quietly like that?

Doesn't she know the seriousness of this sentence?

I wonder how outsiders would view her, the Lady Xiaojie conferred by the court, when her husband's family didn't allow their daughter-in-law to wear mourning after her mother-in-law passed away?

Or maybe the lady was heartbroken and afraid to cry in front of him, so she left quickly.

Then he would go back and wait. His wife would ask their children to come and plead for mercy. As long as his wife was willing to admit her mistake in front of him, he would forgive her and never mention that matter again.

After returning home and waiting for a month, his children did not come to say anything. He Wenyan asked his two sons separately, "How is your mother recently?"

The eldest son said that his mother learned to cook at home and fed her granddaughter herself.

The younger son said that his mother was doing well and asked his father not to worry about her.

He asked his youngest daughter again, and she said that her mother was cleaning the yard in preparation for her second brother's wedding.

He Wenyan couldn't guess what his wife was thinking. Could it be that she was heartbroken and using these things to numb herself?

He will not give in on his own initiative and will give his wife some more time. If she still doesn't give in by then, he will no longer care about the love between husband and wife.

After waiting for three months, there was still no movement from his wife, and He Wenyan was a little angry.

Should he give his wife a way out?

At this time, Mo Chenxi was in a state of panic.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. In July, she took her family to Mojiazhuangzi, thinking of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival there and coming back after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In early August, my granddaughter He Huizhen got smallpox. Many experienced servants began to arrange for the worship of the Smallpox Goddess.

Cao Yue'e shed tears of heartache, and Mo Chenxi was nervous because she knew there was a disease similar to chickenpox, smallpox.
