Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Divorce (1)_1

Mo Wu’s understanding daughter brought tears to her eyes. Seeing the disapproval in her daughter’s gaze, she hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve and choked out, "I’m not in pain, Mother isn’t in pain! As long as you get better soon, Mother will be at ease."

Upon hearing her mother’s words, Mo Danier’s whole body began to tremble. She quickly turned her face away, afraid that Mo Wu might see her tears and feel more saddened and guilty.

Although Mo Danier knew that her bones had been set correctly, she had also heard what Doctor Du had said in the main hall and feared it was true: even after healing, she couldn’t do any work and could only lie on the bed like a useless person.

What girl of a flowery age would want to lie in bed for a lifetime? If she couldn’t recover, what would be the point of living, even if she lived to be a hundred?

Mo Wu could clearly see her daughter’s thoughts, and her heart felt both sour and pained, yet there was a hint of relief—relief that her daughter’s injury wasn’t as severe as it could have been and wouldn’t ruin the rest of her life due to a moment of carelessness.

Despite San Ni and Tie Tou’s persuasions, she insisted on getting out of bed and walked to the side of Mo Danier’s bed, touching her daughter’s tear-stained face and saying with certainty, "Danier, believe in Mother, your injury will be fine! Mother is waiting for you to recover soon so we can go out and do business together!"

Whether it was the three taels of silver taken by Mo Hong’s family or the miscarriage from being kicked, it was all part of the bitter scheme that Mo Yan came up with to ensure that Mo Wu could divorce smoothly and that Tie Tou’s siblings could leave Lao Mo’s House. Only in this way could Mo Wu’s reputation be preserved, enabling her to leave with her dignity intact while casting another shadow over Lao Mo’s House.

However, neither of them had anticipated Mo Danier entering into the equation; otherwise, even if they couldn’t think of another way to divorce at the moment, they wouldn’t have wanted anything to happen to Mo Danier!

Mo Danier frantically wiped away her tears, urging Mo Wu to go back to bed: "Mother, you can’t get out of bed now. Please go back to bed, your daughter is fine, really fine!"

Mo Wu smiled and shook her head, paying attention to the noises outside. Hearing the vague discussions in the main hall about how to rid themselves of her and her daughter, a cold smile appeared on her face.

Turning to meet her daughter’s worried gaze, the cold smile transformed into a mother’s tender warmth. She leaned in close to Mo Danier’s ear and whispered a few words.

Mo Danier’s eyes widened in disbelief. If she hadn’t seen the genuine smile on her mother’s face, she would have thought her ears were deceiving her.

Her mother, gentle and obedient, who even spoke softly at home to avoid being overheard, was now determined to divorce her father and take her siblings away from this cold home to live a life of freedom.

How much hardship and suffering must Mother have endured to make such a resolute decision to leave?

Thinking of how over the years, their family had done the most work, yet her grandparents had never shown them kindness, and how they never got their share of anything good in the house. Even when their father earned some silver, whatever he bought—food or fabric—was given entirely to his parents and younger sister, never sparing a thought for his own wife and children, who ate worse and wore tattered clothes.

Recalling how her father had threatened to divorce her mother for the sake of silver, and considering all that had happened today, not to mention that her father hadn’t said a word to stop it or even offered a word of comfort, Mo Danier’s heart suddenly chilled.

Seeing the unsettled expression on Mo Danier’s face, Mo Wu’s heart raced with anxiety.

Whether it was about the divorce or taking her children away from Lao Mo’s House, she had never mentioned a word to the four siblings. First, she feared the children wouldn’t be able to disguise their feelings and that the people of Lao Mo’s House would notice. Second, she was worried that if the plan to divorce failed and she couldn’t take them away, a third reason was her fear that the four siblings wouldn’t understand or want to follow her, and might even think she didn’t want them and end up hating her.
