Chapter 514: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 514: Separation (1)
Seeing her daughter's understanding brought tears to Wu shi's eyes. Noticing her daughter's disapproving look, she quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve and choked out, "I'm not sad, I'm not sad! As long as you get better soon, I'll be at ease."
Hearing her mother's words, Mo Dani's body began to tremble. She quickly turned her face away, afraid her mother would see her tears and become more upset.
Mo Dani knew her bone was set, but she had also heard what Doctor Du said in the hall. She believed that even if she recovered, she wouldn't be able to work and would be bedridden for life.
At such a young age, what girl would want to spend her life in bed? If she couldn't recover, even living a long life would be meaningless.
Wu shi understood her daughter's thoughts and felt a mix of pain and relief. Relief that her daughter's injury wasn't as severe as they had made it out to be, and that she hadn't ruined her daughter's future due to a moment's negligence.
Ignoring the protests of her younger children, she insisted on getting out of bed and walked to Mo Dani's bedside. She touched her daughter's tear-stained face and said with certainty, "Dani, trust your mother, your injury will be fine! I'm waiting for you to recover soon so we can start our business together!"
The loss of three taels of silver and the miscarriage were all part of Mo Yan's plan to help Wu shi successfully divorce and take her children away from the Mo family. This plan was meant to preserve Wu shi's reputation, allow her to leave the family with dignity, and tarnish the Mo family's name.
However, they hadn't anticipated Mo Dani's injury. If they had, they wouldn't have risked her getting hurt, even if they couldn't think of a better plan at the time.
Mo Dani hurriedly wiped her tears and urged her mother to go back to bed. "Mother, you shouldn't be out of bed. Please go back, I'm fine, really."
Wu shi smiled and shook her head. She listened to the sounds outside, hearing the family discussing how to get rid of them. A cold smile appeared on her face.
Turning back to her daughter, her cold smile turned into a gentle motherly look. She whispered a few words into Mo Dani's ear.
Mo Dani's eyes widened in disbelief. If it weren't for the genuine smile on her mother's face, she would have thought she misheard.
Her gentle, submissive mother, who didn't even dare raise her voice at home, was now determined to divorce her father and take the children away from this cold home to live a free life.
How much suffering and pain had her mother endured to reach such a resolute decision!
Thinking back to the years of hard work, the lack of kindness from her grandparents, the absence of good things in their lives, and even the money her father earned from odd jobs all went to please her grandparents and aunt, not considering the poor conditions his own family lived in.
Recalling how her father had even threatened to divorce her mother to get her to hand over money, and how he hadn't comforted them at all despite all that had happened today, Mo Dani's heart grew cold.
Seeing Mo Dani's uncertain expression, Wu shi's heart was filled with worry.
Whether it was divorce or taking the children away, she had never mentioned it to her children. She feared they wouldn't be able to hide it from the Mo family, feared the plan would fail and they couldn't leave, and most of all, feared her children wouldn't understand or want to go with her, thinking she was abandoning them and growing to hate her.
