When Mao Xiaoli heard her brother’s words, she immediately started crying again.

“At first, I really didn’t know! Later on, when I saw that Dazhi would take out some money from time to time, I asked him, but he told me not to interfere. Later on, the entire Qiao family got benefits. After I went out to ask around, I found out that Dazhi had obtained some benefits for himself thanks to my brother’s good relationship with Luo Cheng!”

“Even if you didn’t know in the beginning, why didn’t you come back and tell me when you found out later? At that time, you probably only thought about collecting the money and didn’t think about me at all, right? Have you ever thought about how Mr. Luo would look at me after the matter was exposed?

Have you ever thought about how Mr. Luo might take his anger out on me in the future and never use me again?” Mao Dao was furious at his sister.

Previously, he hadn’t thought about things so deeply. Now that he heard his sister complaining, he immediately thought of many things.

Li Xiaoran came over personally to explain this matter to him and said that she wouldn’t let Qiao Dazhi off on his account.

On the surface, Luo Cheng and the consort didn’t vent their anger on him because of this.

But on second thought, if it weren’t for the fact that he was going to marry the consort’s cousin, Zhao Sisi, would Li Xiaoran have vented her anger on him?

What if Zhao Sisi wasn’t in the picture?

Even if he wasn’t caught in the crossfire, Luo Cheng and the consort probably wouldn’t think of him anymore if there was any good opportunity in the future!

If it were him, he probably also wouldn’t use someone whose family would drag him down!

The possible consequences were terrifying. At this moment, Mao Dao was already filled with anger.

Mao Xiaoli was speechless. After all, she really hadn’t considered how her brother would be affected once this matter was exposed.

When Mrs. Mao heard her son’s words, her expression changed again.

To be honest, although Mrs. Mao had criticized her daughter and son-in-law so loudly previously, she actually hoped that her son could help.

However, after hearing her son’s words, Mrs. Mao realized how wrong she was.

Luo Cheng was already very merciful for not venting his anger on her son. Her son’s future shouldn’t be ruined for her daughter’s sake! Everyone knew that after having ties with Luo Cheng, they would be lucky. But now that such a thing had happened, could her son still be placed in an important position by Luo Cheng?

When Mr. Mao heard this, he took the last puff of his cigarette and knocked the ash out of his pipe.

“How did the Qiao family handle this matter? Where is Qiao Dazhi now?”

Since her father had asked, Mao Xiaoli wiped her tears and replied, “Dazhi has already been taken away by the officials, who said that they want him to return the money he collected. If he doesn’t return it, they’ll send him to work as a

laborer to pay off his debts. Now, many people in the village have taken out evidence, so we need to compensate 800 taels of silver. I have a total of 150 taels of silver. The rest of the money was taken by the Qiao family!”

“The Qiao family immediately called the village chief over to split up the family. Dazhi and I were separated, so the things we got were pitifully little. Moreover, the Qiao family also said that they won’t repay the money for us!”

When Mr. Mao heard this, he was neither angry nor angry. Instead, he asked calmly, “Then what are your plans?”

When Mao Xiaoli heard this, she immediately looked at her father in confusion.

“Do you want to divorce Qiao Dazhi or continue living with him?” Mr. Mao said.

Mao Xiaoli had thought of many possibilities, but she didn’t think of divorcing Qiao Dazhi.

“Divorce? If I divorce him, what will happen to my child?”

Xiao Guihua was Mao Li and Qiao Dazhi’s child. She was a three-year-old girl.

“What should we do? Do you want Xiao Guihua to follow you? As long as you want, we’ll help you get the child!” Mr. Mao said.

Mao Xiaoli panicked. She never expected things to turn out like this!

“Father, why get a divorce?! There’s no need! As long as Father, Mother, and Brother help me think of a way and return that money, it’ll be fine!”

When Mr. Mao heard his daughter’s words, his gaze immediately turned stern.

“We can’t fork out that much money! Don’t expect your brother to borrow money from others just because of Qiao Dazhi! Not to mention whether we can borrow money, even if we can, how will the two of you repay us?

When Mao Xiaoli heard her father’s words, she immediately panicked.

“No, you won’t! In the end, this debt will fall on your brother. If someone has to repay the money, it will be your brother! Because he’s the one who borrowed the money, not you! And if your brother borrows money and takes on such a huge debt, do you think the Zhao family’s daughter will still be willing to marry him? Even if she’s willing, will the elders in her family be willing? Don’t forget that Zhao Sisi’s cousin is the consort. They’re very close. Will she watch her cousin get screwed over?” Mr. Mao questioned sternly.

This time, Mao Xiaoli didn’t cry. Instead, she broke out in cold sweat.

Mr. Mao stared at his daughter as he said, “Since your family is ruined, you came back to ruin your brother’s life? You ‘ve already let your brother down, but now, you want to ruin his life. Do you think your mother and I can tolerate you doing this?”

Mao Xiaoli fell to the ground. Then, she covered her face and wailed.

“Now, the only thing you can do is divorce Qiao Dazhi and bring Xiao Guihua back. Have you ever thought about Xiao Guihua? If she continues to live in your current village, will the other children in the village bully her because of what Qiao Dazhi has done? If a ruthless person secretly schemes against you and your daughter, will you and your daughter be able to withstand it? Don’t blame me for being harsh. I want you to consider all aspects. Divorcing him is the best solution!” Mr. Mao explained the pros and cons.

Mao Dao calmed down after hearing his father’s words.

That’s right. Be it in the long run or in the current situation, divorce was the best option.

“Sister, have you ever thought about how Luo Cheng would feel even if the money is repaid? For a commoner to dare to use his name to scam people, punishing him with hard labor to pay off his debts is already the lightest punishment! Even if you force us to borrow money to pay off those debts now, Qiao Dazhi won’t be released!” Mao Dao said firmly due to his understanding of Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran..
