Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Fang Pingying paused slightly, seeing that Fang Xiu was confused, as if she had never considered these things.

She sighed, then continued, "There's also the matter of the US$ 500 he promised to compensate someone. Have you thought about how to repay it? Even if you split it into ten months, you have to pay US$ 50 a month. According to your current salary, it means that apart from food and drink, all your money has to be given to someone else."

"Furthermore, Zhiming has already resigned from the lumber mill, the company definitely wanted him out, now you two need to think about where you can find work when you go back home."

When Fang Xiu heard Fang Pingying talk about money, she looked up at Fang Pingying, her lips moved slightly, but she felt that it was difficult to speak what was in her heart, so she closed her mouth and lowered her head without saying a word.

This happened several times until Fang Xiu finally voiced her thoughts.

With a tone of pleading, she said, "Big sister, can you manage the US$ 500 for now? Our business is doing well, even if you are just helping the owner, you can make good money each month, certainly more than we earn. Can you lend it to us first?"

Fang Pingying had lost her temper over this issue, and she had also made her stance clear; she didn't want to cause a scene again.

She just quietly looked at Fang Xiu, her brows slightly furrowed, "Fang Xiu, not to mention whether I have that much money, even if I do, do you think Zhiming's problems should be my responsibility? Just speak from your conscience."

Fang Xiu did indeed want Fang Pingying to help them repay this money, but seeing Fang Pingying ask her so bluntly, she dared not say it directly, she just murmured softly, "It's just borrowing for the time being, when Zhiming and I will slowly repay it later."

"Have you thought about how to repay it?" Fang Pingying looked at her, reminding her, "You were originally planning to go back home and ignore everything, expecting me and your elder brother to deal with this."

"We can't come up with that kind of money, what can I do." Fang Xiu lost her patience, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what can be done? She really didn't have it herself, what did Fang Pingying mean by pressing her like this?

"Since Zhiming has promised to pay the money to someone, you two should discuss how to repay it." Fang Pingying once again made her stance clear, "Don't think about relying on your elder brother and me to repay it. I'm leaving these words here, I definitely will not pay this money. If that woman really dares to cause trouble at the military, I'll report it to the Police Station, at worst I'll bring this issue to light."

To prevent Fang Xiu from thinking about escaping back home, Fang Pingying told her the potential consequences, "Don't think that just because you and Zhiming hide back in the countryside means all issues are gone, if the Police Station looks for you, even if you hide at the ends of the earth, they can find you."

"You're just trying to scare me..." Fang Xiu said, staring intently at Fang Pingying, hoping that Fang Pingying was just trying to scare her.

But Fang Pingying really wasn't just scaring her, if things got worse, this scenario could very likely occur.

She said, "Then just try it out, and see if I'm just scaring you."

"But that's so much money, even if we were to die we couldn't raise it, even if we went back home and asked for help, we wouldn't have that much." Now Fang Xiu was truly getting scared. Text acquired from M|V|LEMP&YR.

"You only think about relying on others, haven't you thought about earning it yourself?" Fang Pingying looked at her and said, "I have thought about it for you, if you are willing, you can peacefully work in this store. Once the store is renovated, I will add some to your and Hong Lan's salary each month, as for Zhiming, if you can keep him under control, you can also let him find some work there. Then you can save and slowly repay this money."

"It could also be a lesson for Luo Zhiming to see if messing around with women outside will lead to any good."

Fang Xiu naturally was not willing to help Luo Zhiming repay this money, she irritably waved her hand, "Forget it, I don't care about this anymore, let Luo Zhiming handle it by himself, at most I'll work here in the future and not spend his money."

"As for that woman's money, if he wants to repay it, he can. If he can't, let his parents help him. I don't have the responsibility to clean up this mess for him. It's already good enough that I haven't divorced him after he got another woman pregnant, should I also desperately spend money to support that other woman?"

Fang Xiu's words are not wrong here; any woman wouldn't really be open to helping a man pay off this kind of debt.

On the other hand, since Luo Zhiyong took a midday train, it was already dark by the time he arrived home.

Due to Luo Zhiming's sudden return to the provincial city after being away for a while, Zhou Yunmei was thrilled, expressing her desire to prepare some delicious food to nourish him, noticing that he had lost weight.

Zhou Yunmei even specially slaughtered an old hen and was plucking its feathers in the kitchen.

Hearing the front gate sound in the courtyard, Zhou Yunmei called out to Luo Dashan, who was sitting in front of the stove, "Go open the gate, see who's coming this late."

Luo Dashan nodded and walked into the courtyard.

Upon opening the gate, seeing a travel-worn Luo Zhiyong, Luo Dashan was stunned for a moment before asking, "Zhiyong, why have you come back?"

Luo Zhiyong greeted his father, then urgently inquired, "Has Luo Zhiming come back?"

On the train, he worried that Luo Zhiming had not returned but instead hidden somewhere else. He dreaded that discussing this upon his return would stir alarm among the family.

Fortunately, Luo Dashan quickly nodded upon hearing his question, "He's back, in the kitchen."

Luo Zhiyong responded and, entering the courtyard, threw down his luggage and rushed directly into the kitchen.

Upon seeing Luo Zhiming in the kitchen, Luo Zhiyong, without saying a word, rushed over and punched him several times.

As a soldier regularly undergoing training and being tall, Luo Zhiyong's few punches caused Luo Zhiming's mouth to bleed and his face to swell.

Seeing this, Luo Dashan, who followed behind Luo Zhiyong, hurriedly intervened, "Zhiyong, what's gotten into you?"

Knowing he had done wrong, Luo Zhiming didn't dare say much. He kept shrinking behind Zhou Yunmei, hoping she would speak up for him.

Since Luo Zhiming returned the previous day, he didn't dare tell Luo Dashan and Zhou Yunmei the truth, only mentioning taking a holiday to visit them and that he had earned half a month's salary at the timber factory, carrying some money, and even specifically gave Zhou Yunmei five yuan.

Zhou Yunmei was so delighted at the time, she almost hugged Luo Zhiming in affection.

Thus, she had no suspicions about his sudden return being related to other issues, and was stunned when Luo Zhiyong suddenly appeared and started beating him in the kitchen.

Finally regaining her composure and seeing Luo Zhiyong about to strike again, she reached out to stop him, "What's the matter with you? Either don't come back at all or return to beat up your brother so fiercely. Are you trying to kill him?

"If he could really be beaten to death, he would have long been dead," Luo Zhiyong said furiously, pointing at Luo Zhiming, "Luo Zhiming, tell mom and dad what trouble you've caused in the provincial city, why did you suddenly come back?"
