Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Originally, when at home the day before yesterday, Zhou Yunmei and Li Yuchun said they wanted to come to the provincial city. Luo Zhiyong sternly refused, so she didn't mention it anymore.

But in her heart, she was thinking of ways to secretly follow them to the provincial city. Conveniently, Li Yuchun also wanted to visit Fang Xiu, so the two of them planned together, decided not to arouse suspicion, and waited until Luo Zhiyong left before they followed him to the county.

Moreover, Zhou Yunmei privately spoke to Luo Zhiming about it, and Luo Zhiming was eager for Zhou Yunmei to come and help him solve problems. Therefore, how to buy tickets and how to take the train were all secretly arranged by Luo Zhiming.

Luo Zhiyong didn't think much about it and didn't notice anything during the journey.

When they arrived at the train station, seeing Zhou Yunmei and Li Yuchun in front of him also took him by surprise.

But since both old people had followed along, what could Luo Zhiyong do? Surely he couldn't send them back right then, as there were no trains available anymore.

Luo Zhiyong knew that their coming would definitely be a hassle, so he said to Fang Pingying, "Don't worry, I'll go to the train station early tomorrow morning to buy tickets, so they can go home by noon."

"What? Go back tomorrow? I came here, and I didn't plan to go back. We must resolve Zhiming's issue first," Zhou Yunmei finished speaking, then put the bundle in her hand on the shelf in the store.

Luo Honglan saw that as soon as Zhou Yunmei arrived, she wanted to start trouble, so she quickly went forward and grabbed her, "Mom."

Although Zhou Yunmei cared for Luo Honglan the least among all her children, she is still her own child, and since it was the first time she had been away from her for so long, she was inevitably worried. Seeing Luo Honglan made her look more pleasant, and she also quietly asked her some things about living in the provincial city.

Luo Honglan and Zhou Yunmei were talking, and Fang Xiu, who had been stunned until then, finally snapped out of it, excited she went forward and grabbed Li Yuchun's hand at the doorway, saying, "Mom, you really came, I thought I was dreaming just now."

Seeing Fang Xiu, Li Yuchun's eyes teared up, and she hugged Fang Xiu into her arms, dramatically exclaiming, "My child, you really suffered, marrying such a useless man."

Li Yuchun's words displeased Zhou Yunmei, her face hardened as she looked at Li Yuchun, "What are you saying? Don't start a fight for no reason, how is my Zhiming useless."

Li Yuchun, who could hold her own in a verbal exchange, disdainfully glanced at Luo Zhiming standing by the doorway, "Has no money, has no capabilities, but is great with women. Hasn't been here two months, and the child is already out, is this what you call capable?"

"You…" Zhou Yunmei, at a loss for words, paused for a moment, then unreasonably pointed at Fang Xiu saying, "Why not say it's your Fang Xiu who can't control her own man?"

This really angered Li Yuchun, "Great, when I get back I'll tell our sons-in-law to go out with other women, and then it'll be your fault for not keeping her in check."

"You…"

Before Zhou Yunmei could finish, Fang Pingying, with a cold face, shouted at them, "If you want to argue, take it outside."

Finished, she then turned to Luo Zhiming and said, "Zhiming, they both came here because of your matter, take them out and find a guesthouse to stay, let them argue however they want."

"Stay in what guesthouse? This is such a big store, just spread a few quilts and we women can make do sleeping on the floor," Zhou Yunmei finished speaking and walked directly into the store, looking around, "This store is really nice, must earn quite a bit every month, huh?"

Fang Pingying knew Zhou Yunmei was up to no good; she probably already started eyeing this fine store.

Fang Pingying glanced at her and said indifferently, "No matter how much it earns, it's someone else's business, it has nothing to do with us."

Zhou Yunmei looked displeasedly at Fang Pingying, "What is going on with you? What have we done to offend you? You're acting all weird, what are you trying to pull?"

"Yes, Sister Ping Ying, actually Aunt Yun Mei and the others don't come often. It's rare for them to visit, so even if it's a bit troublesome, it's not a big deal." Xu He added this.

Fang Pingying felt an inexplicable surge of anger looking at her and her pretense of being a good person. She coldly sneered and directly pushed Xu He out of her shop, "Xu He, why don't you show some enthusiasm and take your aunt to a nice hotel or something? I won't disturb you all."

Actually, at that moment, Fang Pingying wished she could just push Xu He to the ground and have her fall flat on her face, but she didn't have the strength for that.

Being pushed by Fang Pingying, Xu He's first reaction was to look towards Luo Zhiyong, but Luo Zhiyong was only worrying about Fang Pingying and didn't pay her any attention.

She wanted to make a scene by pretending to fall, but probably no one would care, so she just stopped.

Fang Pingying took in her reaction, sneered coldly, and then turned to Fang Xiu and Li Yuchun, "Fang Xiu, you should also take mom to a hostel tonight. There's no room here."

Fang Xiu didn't insist on staying in the shop and whispered, "I don't have much money on me."

Fang Pingying glanced at her. Just this morning, she saw her putting ten yuan on the table. She hadn't gone out all day, so where did the money go?

She snapped irritably, "No money? Find a way yourself. Pawn off your nice clothes or something, and that should cover a hostel."

Since moving to the provincial city, Fang Xiu, because she was working at Fang Pingying's place and drawing a salary, didn't dare to confront her and just gave her a fleeting look without saying a word.

But Li Yuchun couldn't hold back and shouted at Fang Pingying, "Pingying, aren't you being too harsh? After all, I've come from far to see you, and this is how you treat me?"

"I…"

Fang Pingying was cut off as Luo Zhiyong tugged at her arm, then he took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Fang Xiu, "I'll pay. Zhiming, take mom and everyone to a bigger room, get settled, and I'll come over tonight."

Fang Xiu took the money without fuss, called Zhiming, and along with Li Yuchun, made to leave.

As for Zhou Yunmei, Fang Pingying wasn't initially planning to intervene, but on a second thought, feeling Zhou Yunmei was here to help Zhiming solve problems, she quickly pulled Zhou Yunmei along, "Mom, let's go together. The hostel conditions are quite good, more spacious than here. We really can't fit everyone at the shop."

Hearing this, Zhiming quickly whispered persuasively, "Yes, mom, in this cold winter, you don't want to sleep on the floor, right? Later tonight, I can take you around the area—it gets lively here at night."

"Mom, I'll also go with you to the hostel. If there's space, I'll stay there tonight, and let big brother and sister-in-law have the shop." Luo Honglan also held onto her arm, feeling an instinctive urge not to leave her at the shop where more troubles could arise.

Moreover, there were acquaintances around, and it would be embarrassing for outsiders to know their family issues.

Finally persuaded by Luo Zhiming and Luo Honglan, Zhou Yunmei agreed to leave with them.

After a few people left, Fang Pingying, seeing Xu He still standing in the room, felt annoyed.

Remembering it was Luo Zhiyong who had brought her over, she felt even more irritated, glanced at them disdainfully, went into the inner room, and closed the door. (To be continued.
