Du Shanqiang felt ashamed about his actions.

Looking at her father’s expression, Du Hongguo knew that her father was going to agree to a divorce. She immediately asked her mother anxiously,

“Mother, what should 1 do?”

“You will follow me.” Xue Daxi said.

Du Hongguo immediately nodded happily. “Yes!” Her father was too filial. If her grandparents were kind, it would be fine. However, her grandparents were not kind and never treated her well. Her mother treated her the best, so she naturally wanted to be with her.

Hearing this, Du Shanqiang shouted, “Even if we have a divorce, Hongguo is still my daughter. Why should she follow you?”

That concubine was only recently bought. He didn’t even know if she could give birth. What if she couldn’t? He couldn’t possibly not have a child, could he?

Although his daughter could not inherit the family line, she could still marry into his family and take care of him in his old age.

Even if his parents would not agree… He still needed some form of securement…

“Mother…” Du Hongguo immediately cried. If she didn’t have her mother, she knew she wouldn’t have a good life…

Her mother had always treated her well.

Xue Daxi hugged her daughter. “Then I won’t get a divorce. 1 won’t work anymore. If your parents can take it, then so be it.”

Du Shanqiang was stunned. He didn’t expect Xue Daxi to suddenly change her mind. However, before he could celebrate his win, Xue Daxi looked at Xue Da and said, “Father, don’t bother meddling in my business. I will handle my own matters. If you really want what’s best for me, then you can just treat me as someone that died.’

She wanted nothing to do with this family anymore?

Then wouldn’t he lose his job too?

Du Shanqiang started to panic and fumble.

His parents were old and could not work anymore. Even if his concubine could work, she was not as strong as his wife and did not work as quickly as his wife. If his wife did not stand up for him, he would not have a job in the shop.His wife would probably not let his daughter continue to work in the shop to earn money as well. How will he support the family? By planting crops alone?

“Are you sure?” Xue Dafu was the first to speak up. He did not want it to come down to this.

Xue Sihu hurriedly cut off Xue Dafu’s words, “Father, we should let her go. utnerqnse, more trouble will come.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also pulled Xue Dafu’s clothes to hold him back.

They didn’t want Xue Dafu to ruin her plan.

Xue Daxi was a strong-willed person. It was best to let Xue Daxi solve this matter herself. They would let her try to solve it as much as she could.

Firstly, they would make her settle her things once and for all. Secondly, it was to prevent her from feeling that she owed their family even more in the future.

As long as they could make her feel competent, they would take a step back

If it weren’t for Xue Daxi’s feelings, they would have easily resolved this matter.

Xue Dafu’s thought process wasn’t as mature as the people around him. Thankfully, the three smartest people in the family all stopped him. He had a small reaction and naturally shut his mouth without saying anything.

In fact, he did not understand why Jiang Yue and the others were holding him back. He just knew that the three smartest ones in their family would not actually stand back.

Since the three smartest were doing this, what was there to worry about?

“Hongguo, let’s go back to that house.” Without waiting for Xue Da and the others to say anything, Xue Daxi pulled her daughter, Du Hongguo, and left.

She walked away with extreme resolve.

Du Shanqiang was anxious and started to panic, but there was nothing he could do..
