Moreover, married women, especially daughters from the older generation, carried the heavy burden of a male-centered family ideology. Parents educated their daughters from an early age to serve the boys in the family. At home, they had to wait on brothers, and after marriage, they were expected to support their siblings. So, in Mrs. Mo's eyes, helping her brother was only natural. Not helping him would be far from human decency.
Over the years abroad, her temperament seemed to have worsened a lot, but her essence didn't change. She was not a bad person, just somewhat naïve.
Moreover, she's easily deceived. Whatever her brother says, she believes it. Mo Xunxun's uncle didn't tell her the truth, only giving her partial, half-true information, making her think her sister-in-law and niece hadn't committed any significant crimes and could indeed be released. He urged her to return to find Mo Xunxun, and since she genuinely missed her daughter, it served as a perfect excuse.
