Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

The two lay in bed in silence for a while, Luo Zhiyong suddenly sighed, pulling Fang Pingying into his arms as if he had made up his mind, and said to her, "My wife, I've thought it through. If this matter is handled well, let's not interfere in Zhiming and their affairs anymore. If Fang Xiu still wants to work here, just pay her like a regular worker. It's even better if she doesn't work here; it would save us that bit of trouble."

He paused, then continued, "As for my parents, don't send so much money every month from now on. Just send some for their living expenses, about seven or eight yuan a month, and give a bit more during the holidays."

"Mmm, I've also thought it through. Whether it's the Fang Family or the Luo Family, we just need to do our part and not bother about the rest." Through this incident, Fang Pingying had also come to a realization. When it came to both the Luo Family and the Fang Family, they couldn't be fully relied upon.

No matter how good they were to them, they always felt it was expected. In that case, why bother making themselves out to be so virtuous. Let them say what they want, as there was never any good in it for us.

Luo Zhiyong, working outside, had a better life than in the countryside, and it was all earned through his own efforts. Supporting the elderly was an obligation, but not supporting his siblings.

She said, "If Zhiming and Fang Xiu really do come back home, we won't look after their food and drink anymore. We have no obligation to do so, nor can we manage it for a lifetime, and who knows, it might even end up harming them."

Luo Zhiyong would rather have Luo Zhiming return home; sending them living expenses monthly as before was better than having him cause trouble here.

However, his wife made sense; they had no obligation to support their siblings, and ever since his wife came, he'd seen the household expenses increase. If his wife couldn't earn some money, their lives would be tough.

So, he nodded in agreement, "That's true. If Zhiming wasn't so spoiled by the family, he wouldn't have ended up like this, working without effort and always relying on family whenever something happens. My mother and your mother came to the provincial city because they heard from him that you could make money, convinced you had enough to spare, so they sought us out here."

Speaking of the Luo Family's coddling of Luo Zhiming, Fang Pingying was somewhat puzzled, "I really can't understand it. If you said I wasn't born to the Fang Family, and my parents treated me and Fang Xiu differently, I could comprehend. But what's going on with you? You're born to your mother, right? And you've been supporting the family for years, yet your mother always seems to think only of Zhiming."

Before, in Fang Pingying's presence, Luo Zhiyong always refrained from admitting that his parents favored Luo Zhiming, always saying that since Zhiming was younger, it was natural for the parents to care a bit more.

But after this incident, he had to admit it, and what he dared not say was what he told Zhou Yunmei, to not ask Fang Pingying for money.

Zhou Yunmei even did not consider whether they could get by, and she bluntly asked for money, clearly showing in her heart he could never compare to Luo Zhiming.

Luo Zhiyong thought to himself, sighing self-mockingly, "Where can one even begin to explain this? Perhaps, parents and children also have their own fate."

Fang Pingying shook her head, "No, I think there is some truth in the saying, 'The squeaky wheel gets the grease.' You never worry your parents, and so you get neglected, unlike Zhiming. Whenever your parents are slightly less attentive to him, he cries and fusses until they take him seriously."

"Let them be. We have our own family now. From now on, let's live our lives well." This time, Luo Zhiyong was truly disappointed in Zhou Yunmei, to the extent that he didn't even want to speak of her anymore.

This chapter was first seen on MV^LEM^PYR.

After a silence, Luo Zhiyong's eyes suddenly sparked, he leaned close to Fang Pingying and said, "Wife, let's have a child; then our little family will be complete."

Fang Pingying recently saw Juzi pregnant and felt a bit itchy about it as well, but recently there was a lot going on in the shop, so she planned to prepare for having a baby after the New Year.

So, she said with a smile, "I didn't say I wouldn't have a baby, if the timing is right, I will."

"Why isn't the timing right? Look at Juzi and Huang Lin, in a few months their child will be on the ground, our conditions are not much different." Luo Zhiyong didn't understand, what timing there was to talk about in having a child, isn't it over once the child is born?

"By the way, is Mrs. Huang Lin still in the army?" Fang Pingying didn't want to dwell on this topic with him because this man always had an agenda whenever they discussed it, and in the end, he would pressure her into trying for a baby, yet the baby wasn't even conceived, so she deliberately changed the subject.

"She is, but probably will be sent back in the next two days." Luo Zhiyong thought of Huang Lin and couldn't help but smile helplessly, "Huang Lin that kid lied to his mom saying that Juzi went for a check-up at the hospital, and the doctor said it's a son. The doctor also said that Juzi's pregnancy isn't very stable, and she shouldn't get angry, so he let his mom go back first and wait to come over when Juzi is giving birth."

Fang Pingying rolled her eyes, guessing it was only these simple-minded men who could think of such a temporary fix, "That kind of deception isn't a solution, what if Juzi gives birth to a girl."

"Once the baby is born, nothing can be done, it can't be shoved back into the womb. What can his mom do about it?" At least, Luo Zhiyong agreed with what Huang Lin said, at least it could let his wife peacefully nurture the fetus and have a smooth childbirth. As for what happens afterward, as long as he insisted, the old lady couldn't do much about it.

"Ah, Huang Lin really has it tough."

Luo Zhiyong sighed, "Who's saying no, us men would never even frown when facing an enemy, but facing a cantankerous mother-in-law, or a very fierce wife, can really give you a headache."

"Who are you calling a fierce wife? Are you saying I'm fierce?" Fang Pingying vaguely felt that Luo Zhiyong was hinting at her being overly aggressive when she threw things around at night.

Luo Zhiyong just made a casual remark, realizing Fang Pingying was overthinking, knowing she would definitely make a fuss later, he leaned down to kiss her, silencing her, smiling as he shifted the topic, "Wife, let's still talk about having a baby, I think having a daughter would be nice too."

As Luo Zhiyong spoke, his hands, which had been honest for just a short while, started to wander over Fang Pingying's body, who hadn't seen him for several days and felt somewhat moved.

But inside, because the bed usually belonged to Luo Honglan, Fang Pingying still suppressed her urge and grabbed his hands, whispering, "Let's talk about this when we get home tomorrow."

By now, Luo Zhiyong was nearly at his breaking point, he stood holding Fang Pingying's hand over his lower body, whispering in her ear. "Do you think we can wait till tomorrow?"

"No..."

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were once again sealed heavily by Luo Zhiyong, afterward, he whispered in her ear, "Then let's try another way."

Following that, Luo Zhiyong pulled Fang Pingying's hand down towards his lower body… (To be continued.
