Chapter 504: Methods of Divorce (2)_1
A mother knows her son best, and Mo Hong had long noticed that her eldest son was no longer as obedient as before. So this time, she cleverly chose not to directly ask Mo Yongfu to demand silver or land deeds from Mo Wu. Instead, she transformed into a caring mother, showing concern for him in a way that was rarely seen. She not only spoke to him in a kind and gentle voice but also cut up some worn-out clothes that could no longer be worn, staying up for several nights to stitch shoe soles, and made him two new pairs of shoes.
Although Mo Yongfu harbored dissatisfaction towards Mo Hong’s family, he still craved his mother’s attention and approval. Therefore, when she showed him just a few caring words, his attitude towards her reverted to what it had been before—becoming even more obedient and filial than before.
On a cloudy afternoon, while Mo Hong held the finished shoes in her hands and tearfully lamented the family’s difficulties to Mo Yongfu, he actively offered to take out silver to build a house to honor his parents and provide a decent dowry for his sister, so she could marry into a good family.
Just like that, a pair of shoes, a few tears, and a handful of caring words made him successfully forget the grievances and hardships his wife and child had suffered, and forget the fact that his mother had sold his little daughter!
"Yan girl, I’m filled with hatred, I truly am! For twenty years as husband and wife, I bore children for him and endured so much hardship, and yet, now he threatens me with a divorce letter, demanding I give up the silver coins I’ve earned through hard work, to build a large house and prepare a dowry for his parents and sister! Why? Why?!"
Mo Wu became more heartbroken and agitated as she spoke, her whole being near the brink of explosion, and her final questioning shout was almost a roar!
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan slammed his palm down on the table with such force that there was a loud bang, and several tea cups hopped about, barely missing a tumble!
