Mo Xiaohong, eyes red with anger, looked at Jiang Huirong and said, "Jiang Huirong, are you even human? Shanshan is your daughter too. How can you be so heartless to have her work when she's so young? You're actually treating even such a young child as expendable."
Recalling what her mother-in-law had said before, that Shanshan could start doing housework from the age of five, Mo Xiaohong instinctively knew that Yiyi was right. The Jiang family definitely wanted to make Shanshan work tirelessly, which is why they didn't want to send her over, didn't want to return her daughter to her.
Upon hearing Mo Xiaohong's words, Jiang Huirong responded irritably, "Who said Shanshan has to work? You're coming with me to the town to file for divorce, right now." As he spoke, he reached over to grab Mo Xiaohong.
Yiyi naturally wouldn't let Jiang Huirong succeed. She stepped forward and shielded Mo Xiaohong behind her, then pointed directly at Jiang Huirong and said, "What, want to taste the feeling of a bloody head again? I don't mind letting you experience it once more."
Hearing those words, Jiang Huirong instinctively touched his own forehead.
The forehead that Mo Yiyi had smashed yesterday was still throbbing with pain. If it happened again, he felt he might end up with a deep scar there. Mo Yiyi seemed to have become somewhat formidable, daring to be so bold.
"Since you're not following the agreement, then don't expect my sister to divorce you."
Jiang Huirong was momentarily frustrated, wondering when this divorce would finally be settled.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Mo directly pointed at Jiang Huirong and said, "Divorce? Hurry and take your own wife back to your Jiang family. Don't think just because your Jiang family wants a divorce, it'll happen. I'm telling you, this divorce is impossible. Our Mo family does not agree."
Seeing Old Mrs. Mo causing trouble on the side, Yiyi's expression grew colder.
However, now was not a good time for divorce. Only after Shanshan had truly come over could her sister proceed with the divorce.
Understanding this, Yiyi turned away with her mother and sister.
"Stop! Mo Xiaohong must go to file for divorce with me today!"
Mo Yiyi paid no attention, her pace did not falter in the slightest.
Old Mrs. Mo had never wanted her eldest granddaughter to divorce, so seeing the three leave, she said nothing further.
However, Jiang Huirong was determined to divorce, and disregarding anything else, he moved forward to drag Mo Xiaohong.
Seeing Jiang Huirong's persistence, Yiyi immediately positioned her mother and sister to one side. She then nimbly bent over, dodged behind Jiang Huirong, and kicked him to the ground.
Yiyi was petite, while Jiang Huirong was tall and robust. Witnessing this scene, everyone was a bit incredulous, not expecting Mo Yiyi to be able to kick down a man as tall and strong as Jiang Huirong.
Seeing Jiang Huirong fall flat on his face, Yiyi felt a bit relieved. Fortunately, having done farm work from a young age, she had considerable strength. With the right leverage, taking down three or four grown men was not a problem at all.
Jiang Huirong slowly got up, glaring at Mo Yiyi with a grim face.
"Let me say my terms once more. Only when you bring Shanshan over will my sister go through with the divorce, so stop playing games."
Saying these warning words, Yiyi had already made up her mind. This time, regardless of the Jiang family's attitude, they would definitely make them hand over Shanshan.
Jiang Huirong hadn't expected to be repeatedly humiliated by this little girl, Mo Yiyi, but he was powerless without Mo Xiaohong agreeing to the divorce proceedings.
Seeing Jiang Huirong's bloodshot eyes, Mo Xiaohong felt a tinge of fear.
"Sis, let's go." Seeing Mo Xiaohong's fear, Mo Yiyi quickly took her hand firmly to offer comfort.
Feeling Yiyi's warm hand, Mo Xiaohong calmed herself down, suppressing her internal unease, and her expression became resolute. For the sake of her daughter, she had to be strong.
Watching Mo Xiaohong and the others leave, Jiang Huirong departed begrudgingly, calculating how to get Mo Xiaohong out of the Mo family.
Elsewhere, back in their room, Yiyi made an excuse to go out. "Mom, Sis, I'm going out to gather some herbs later. That way, the wound on my forehead can heal more quickly. You see, since applying the herbs, it's gotten much better. I believe a few more applications will surely heal it completely."
"Yiyi, let me go with you to gather herbs. Just tell me what they look like, and I'll get lots of them."
Seeing the improvement on her sister's forehead, Mo Xiaohong admired Yiyi's knowledge of medicinal plants and her ability to treat her own injuries, indeed quite remarkable.
"Sis, I'll just go by myself. You stay home and keep Mom company."
Mo Xiaohong wanted to say more, but Yiyi had already vanished.
"She sure runs fast."
Seeing this, Mo Xiaohong shook her head in a helpless manner.
But Yiyi didn't go to gather herbs. Instead, she went directly to the edge of the village, contemplating a certain house with a mysterious expression. After her countenance returned to normal, she finally stepped forward.
"Who are you looking for?"
The door was opened by a twenty-something woman with long hair, a gentle and lovely face, quite pleasant to look at, and she was holding a small baby in her arms.
Yiyi glanced at Li Xue'er and couldn't help but admit that she was indeed beautiful, no wonder she had captured Jiang Huirong's heart.
"I'm looking for you."
Yiyi didn't waste time and spoke bluntly.
Hearing this, Li Xue'er was momentarily taken aback and then frowned, "What do you want from me?"
"Of course there's something. I'm Mo Xiaohong's sister."
Upon hearing this, Li Xue'er immediately guessed Yiyi's purpose for coming. She sneered, saying, "So, Jiang Huirong wants to divorce, but your sister, Mo Xiaohong, refuses, huh? I think you should go home and persuade your sister. Jiang Huirong and I even have a son now, so a divorce is definite."
"This divorce is bound to happen, but my sister has no other demands. Her sole condition is that Shanshan be awarded to her, so you better think of a way to have Jiang Huirong send Shanshan directly to our Mo family."
Li Xue'er's eyebrows knit tightly at these words.
"What... Jiang Huirong still wants his daughter."
However, her expression quickly changed, and finally, she cheerfully looked at Yiyi, saying, "Actually, having an extra daughter is quite nice for us, an instant son and daughter."
"You better think clearly before speaking, or I can't guarantee whether I'll tell others about your unspeakable secrets."
