Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Fang Xiu scolded for a full half-hour, spewing every imaginable insult. If Luo Zhiming had been in front of her at that moment, she might have hexed him to death.

Seeing how intense Fang Pingying was making the scene, Hong Lan watched her impatiently and said, "If you really want a divorce, stop making a scene here. Go back home tomorrow, get the divorce, and be done with it."

"Yes, this matter is indeed Zhiming's fault, and if you truly can't stand being with him, then just divorce him. We, the Luo Family, will ensure you are not treated unfairly; things will be addressed properly," Luo Zhiyong said sincerly, believing Fang Xiu's dramatics were because she wanted a divorce, and he even made a promise.

This caused Pingying, on the side, to roll her eyes at him repeatedly. How could her own man be so clueless about a woman's thoughts? If Fang Xiu really wanted a divorce, would she cause such a ruckus? She would have directly confronted Luo Zhiming and demanded a divorce.

It was just that she felt aggrieved by how Luo Zhiming had treated her and needed to vent.

Indeed, if she were actually faced with a divorce, she'd surely not want it.

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Zhiyong finished speaking, Fang Xiu immediately stopped her tirade and looked at them incredulously, "Why are you all so keen on us getting a divorce? What good does it do for you if we divorce?"

Truly, no good deed goes unpunished!

Pingying glanced at Fang Xiu and asked, "So, what are you planning on doing? Since you don't want to divorce, Zhiming is your husband, and it's up to you what to do with him."

Fang Xiu thought for a moment with a flicker in her eyes. Then, lifting her head, she said with irritation, "What else can I do? Compensate with money. Am I really going to let others throw him in prison?"

"It's not about sending him to prison, at most he'll be detained at the Police Station for a few days. I don't think it's a big deal," Fang Pingying actually thought that for someone like Luo Zhiming, being sent to prison for a few months to learn his lesson would be beneficial.

But as soon as Fang Pingying finished talking, Fang Xiu started yelling at her, "Fang Pingying, how can you be so heartless? You talk about just a few days in prison, but what if the police believe that woman and say that Zhiming forced her? Then wouldn't he end up in prison for life?"

Fang Xiu made it sound so easy, as if paying US$ 500 was the same as paying five yuan, something anyone could just pull out.

Right then, Fang Pingying thought that Fang Xiu might be eyeing her and Luo Zhongyong to foot the bill. She looked at Fang Xiu indifferently, "Then you come up with the money yourself. They said they want Five hundred yuan for hospital expenses to terminate the pregnancy, otherwise they won't let Zhiming off."

"You..." Fang Xiu was saying when she suddenly stopped and then shouted, "Why should I pay for it? The child isn't mine."

"Is it mine, then?" Pingying sneered, seeing right through her, "You're not willing to pay, so why do you talk about compensation so casually?"

Fang Xiu knew that Fang Pingying meant she wouldn't help Luo Zhiming pay, so she turned her gaze to Luo Zhiyong, "Big brother, you are Zhiming's real brother after all. What do you say? We can't just let them send Zhiming to prison."

Luo Zhiyong frowned slightly, "That woman is just speaking off the cuff. If it really goes to the Police Station, they'll investigate everything thoroughly. It's not like they can do whatever they say."

What Luo Zhiyong was suggesting was to directly report it to the Police Station and let them deal with the issue. Besides, with Luo Zhiming in that woman's hands, he wasn't safe.

But Fang Xiu adamantly refused to let it go to the Police Station and, feeling entirely justified, she confronted Fang Pingying, "From the sound of it, are you saying that you two are unwilling to pay the money?"

"Yes," Fang Pingying looked at her as she lifted her chin, it shouldn't be their turn to pay anyway.

"Then forget it, don't bother yourselves with this matter, I'll figure out a way myself." Fang Xiu suddenly calmed down, "Big brother, just keep that woman steady for the next few days, tell her we're raising the money."

Fang Pingying felt something was off and looked at her to ask, "Fang Xiu, what do you plan to do? Don't tell me you can come up with such a big sum of money in just a few days."

Fang Xiu looked at Fang Pingying, raising an eyebrow with a threatening tone, "I'll go home tomorrow and have mom and dad help raise the money, however much we can gather. If worst comes to worst, we'll just sell our house and belongings, we can't just let Zhiming be sent off to jail like this."

"Fang Xiu, let me tell you, don't even think about threatening me for money. You go back if you want to go back, if mom and dad want to sell the house then let them sell it. However, you live your life afterwards, figure it out on your own. Anyway, I'll keep living the way I did before," Fang Pingying was so annoyed that she yelled at her,

"Don't forget the mess was caused by your family Zhiming, it has nothing to do with us. Nobody is obliged to clean up the mess he made messing around with women outside."

"You..." Fang Xiu's initial intention was also to threaten Fang Pingying for money, meaning that if she didn't pay now, she would go back and bring Zhou Yunmei over to force Fang Pingying. But with Fang Pingying's hard stance, Fang Xiu hesitated.

Fang Pingying's temper was such that she would respond to gentleness but not to force, Fang Xiu knew this well. If they had talked nicely, there might have been a glimmer of hope. After all, Fang Xiu had been hardworking while staying here, and Fang Pingying had been quite good to her, whether it was salary or buying things, as long as Luo Honglan had it, she wouldn't lack anything.

But if she angered Fang Pingying, even if Zhou Yunmei came, it might not necessarily result in getting the money. This chapter first appeared on M|V|L^EMPYR.

Seeing that Fang Xiu didn't speak, Fang Pingying impatiently urged, "Are you really planning to go back tomorrow? If you are, go pack your things. I'll buy you a train ticket."

"I..." Fang Xiu's attitude softened, looking at Fang Pingying with a pleading face, "I won't go back, big sister, please help think of a solution."

Fang Pingying glanced at her, saying, "If there isn't a better solution by tomorrow, we'll do as your big brother said, report it to the Police Station if we need to, whatever needs to be done."

Fang Xiu didn't dare to speak again, silently pondering in her heart. She wondered if she should sneak back home once, preferably to bring Zhou Yunmei over. Even if Fang Pingying didn't believe Zhou Yunmei, Luo Zhiyong would always have to consider his family's opinion.

Late at night, Luo Zhiyong arrived, and with the room too cramped, Fang Pingying took some stuff and went with Luo Zhiyong to a nearby cheap hostel to spend the night.

Actually, what Fang Pingying disliked the most was staying at hostels.

At this time, the bedding in such a cheap hostel surely wouldn't be washed and changed daily, lacking any sort of cleanliness, and the bed and bedding, not knowing who had used them or what those people did in that bed, just thinking about it made her feel disgusted.

She and Luo Zhiyong only took off their outer cotton coats and trousers, didn't even remove their socks, and lay down leaning against Luo Zhiyong.

Still feeling uneasy because of the smell on the pillow, she removed both pillows, folded their cotton coats neatly, and used them as pillows.

Even so, lying down, Fang Pingying couldn't sleep, just dozing off until the latter part of the night.

Next to her, Luo Zhiyong, a big man, was less picky, but because he was worried about Luo Zhiming's affairs, he also didn't sleep well, tossing and turning all night. (To be continued.
