Seeing that Li Jianguo had no intention of leaving, and from his expression it was clear that he seemed to have a lot more to say to Mo Yuan.
Mo Youxian immediately understood and shouted, "Fellow villagers, everyone go home! There's nothing more to do here, and Mo Yuan's business is finished. Go home, it's almost lunchtime! Go cook!" Hearing Mo Youxian's words, the villagers who had been gathered there stopped and slowly dispersed, returning to their homes. After all, for these simple villagers, now that the matter was resolved, there was no need to linger and watch any longer.
After the villagers had gradually walked away, Mo Youxian went up to Li Jianguo, greeted him, and exchanged a few casual pleasantries. Then, he turned around and left the scene with light steps, leaving only Li Jianguo and Mo Yuan, the brother and sister, standing there.
At this moment, Mo Yuan knew that he had something important to discuss with Li Jianguo.
So he turned around, looked at his eldest sister Mo Hongying with concern, and asked softly, "Sister, are you alright? Everything's over, why don't you go back first and see how Daya and Erdan are doing?"
Mo Hongying nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with her brother's suggestion. In truth, she had always been concerned about the two children in the house.
Although she understood that Mo Yuan and Li Jianguo would likely continue to discuss the troublesome Li Laosan, she had long since lost all interest in it.
Now, in her world, her two beloved children are the closest people to her, while other family members come second. As for Li Laosan, she has made up her mind that no matter what, she must go through with the divorce this time, severing all ties and never having any further contact with him.
"Mo Yuan, there were too many people and too much noise just now, so I couldn't explain many things clearly. What exactly happened? Where did those people come from? They couldn't have just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, could they? Tell me the details so I can have a better understanding. How should we deal with these people? I really want to hear your thoughts!" After everyone had dispersed, Li Jianguo finally couldn't help but ask Mo Yuan.
Seeing this, Mo Yuan no longer concealed anything and immediately told the whole story in detail.
This involves the complicated relationship between Li Laosan and his elder sister, and why they couldn't live together in the past. The root of the problem lies in Li Laosan's idleness and lack of ambition. He not only doesn't do any farm work, but also indulges in drinking and gambling all day long.
As a result, the family grew increasingly poor, to the point where they couldn't even afford to eat, and eventually, they were reduced to the tragic situation of having to sell their children to survive. The eldest sister could no longer bear it and finally had no choice but to take her children back to Xiaomo Village. In order to survive, she had to painstakingly build a mushroom shed and earn a meager income by growing mushrooms.
However, the despicable Li Laosan, seeing that the eldest sister had made some money by growing mushrooms, became greedy and hatched a wicked plan. Initially, he tried to trick her into handing over her money with sweet words, but when she refused, this heartless man even tried to forcibly rob her. And so, one incident after another was recounted by Mo Yuan without reservation.
After hearing this, Li Jianguo turned pale with anger, his chest heaving, and he cursed indignantly, "What an absolute bastard! This kind of scum is simply outrageous!" After all, he was a soldier by birth, and he had an innate sense of justice and integrity. He couldn't stand this kind of behavior of bullying the good and doing evil.
"So what exactly do you plan to do with these people? Although they are indeed scoundrels, upon closer examination, they haven't committed any heinous crimes. After all, he and your eldest sister are still married, and with that relationship involved, it's really not easy for us to be too ruthless. I hope you can understand that..." Li Jianguo said slowly, his gaze falling on Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan was well aware of this, and he nodded in response, "Brother Li, I understand your concerns. Rest assured, I will absolutely not make things difficult for you. Since they haven't committed any serious crimes, the others can be detained for a few days to teach them a lesson before being released. However, as for that Li Laosan, as the ringleader of this incident..."
“I know what I’m doing. He’ll definitely need to be locked up for a while longer, and we need to give him a good talking to!” Li Jianguo interrupted before Mo Yuan could finish speaking.
Mo Yuan smiled slightly and then explained, "Brother Li, that's not what I meant. I was thinking that this time, could you help me out with a small favor and scare him a little? We can take this opportunity to force him to go through with the divorce proceedings with my sister as soon as possible, so as to avoid any more trouble in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, assuring him, "Of course, no problem! As long as it doesn't violate any principles or bottom lines, leave this little matter to me. I'll definitely do my best to persuade him and make sure we achieve our goal!"
The two sat facing each other, their expressions focused and serious, as they began to discuss every detail of the matter. Mo Yuan frowned slightly as he earnestly explained the current situation to Li Jianguo, revealing, "I may have to leave here temporarily in a while to go to Lin Xue's hometown in Shanghai to handle some matters. So, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate fully in the upcoming series of events."
After saying that, he looked at Li Jianguo with expectant and trusting eyes, and continued, "Brother Li, we really need your help and cooperation this time! We must try our best to get my sister's divorce settled as soon as possible so that she can get out of her suffering and live a free and happy life again."
After listening to Mo Yuan's words, Li Jianguo nodded without hesitation, indicating his agreement. In fact, when he first heard Mo Yuan recount Mo Hongying's plight, he was filled with deep sympathy for this older woman. Now, faced with Mo Yuan's request, which was merely a trivial matter that didn't violate his principles, he was naturally willing to do it. Besides, it was just helping out a little, like scaring that despicable Li Laosan and forcing him to obediently comply.
After in-depth discussions and negotiations, all the plans were basically finalized. Just then, a car that had come specifically to pick up Li Jianguo slowly drove up in front of them. Seeing this, Mo Yuan warmly invited Li Jianguo to stay and have a meal with them, but Li Jianguo smiled and waved his hand, politely declining.
Then, he turned around, strode confidently into the car, and gradually disappeared into the distance...
