Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

"But Fang Pingying felt that Fang Xiu was right, calling for help was necessary."

"At uncle's house, Cheng Fei and his sister went to their grandma's house. Yu Fen, heavily pregnant, will accompany uncle to the clinic later. It's definitely not feasible for aunt alone; in case something really happens to uncle, she might need others to take care of her as well."

"But with her own pregnancy, walking in the dark wasn't an option for her either, so she decided to go call Luo Cuilan."

"As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she saw Luo Honglan was up, but Luo Cuilan was nowhere to be seen."

"Fang Pingying peeked into her room and asked, 'Where is your sister?'"

"Luo Honglan, still groggy, said, 'She's sleeping in bed, told me to come out and see what's going on.'"

"'Call her up,' Fang Pingying said sternly, 'Uncle got sick from jumping into the pond to save her today, he has a high fever and must be rushed to the clinic immediately.'" The full series is hosted on My Virtual Library Empire, known as MV7LEMPYR.

"Luo Honglan was startled and instantly woke up, turning around and heading inside, 'Okay, I'll go call her now.'"

"Right then, Luo Zhiyong, who had just finished checking on Luo Dahu, hurriedly came in from outside, telling Zhou Yunmei, who was still at the entrance of the courtyard, 'Mom, it looks like uncle really needs to be taken to the town hospital. Dad's gone to the village to call for help. Hurry and give me some money, we might need it at the hospital.'"

"Upon hearing about needing money, Zhou Yunmei immediately refused, 'Why should I give money? Can't his family afford medical expenses? They live quite well.'"

"Luo Zhiyong frowned, 'Shouldn't our family contribute? If it wasn't for saving Cuilan today, uncle wouldn't be sick. Even if others should pay, it wouldn't look good on us.'"

"Zhou Yunmei choked on her words, and after a moment, she scoffed towards the room where Cuilan was sleeping, 'I don't care, you ask Cuilan for it, she caused this.'"

"While everyone outside was waiting to go to the hospital, Luo Zhiyong grew anxious, and waited for Zhou Yunmei to ask, 'Mom, are you really not giving?'"

"'I said no, and I mean it.' After saying that, Zhou Yunmei deliberately moved aside, clearly not intending to give any money today."

"'Not giving, is it? I'll just search your room myself then.' Luo Zhiyong said, rushing towards Zhou Yunmei's room, and while charging, he said, 'Mom, don't blame me for speaking out, but if you keep this up, you're just asking to be shunned by relatives in the future.'"

"Realizing that Luo Zhiyong was heading to get the money from her room, Zhou Yunmei immediately grabbed him and started yelling, 'Where are you going?'"

"Luo Zhiyong tried to break free and continue to her room, but Zhou Yunmei stubbornly held on to him. The two struggled for a while, and outside Luo Dashan's voice could be heard calling that he had gathered people and was telling Zhiyong to hurry."

"Seeing the delay, Fang Pingying decided it wasn't getting them anywhere; she directly pulled Luo Zhiyong back into the room, handing him 200 yuan, 'Zhiyong, take the money from me and rush him to the hospital, don't delay uncle's condition.'"

"Luo Zhiyong, though angry, understood the urgency of the situation and wasn't the time to bicker with Zhou Yunmei. He nodded, accepting the money, 'Yeah, I have some money on me too, but I'm afraid it might not be enough, uncle looks very ill, he seems to have passed out.'"

"'Then hurry up, don't delay.'"

"As Fang Pingying urged Luo Zhiyong, she also went next door to check on Luo Dahu."

"Luo Dahu was indeed very ill; by then, he had lost consciousness, his face burning red from the high fever. If delayed further, who knows what could happen."

Fortunately, the villagers also helped. On one side, Luo Zhiyong carried Luo Dahu off the bed, and on the other, the villagers had already brought in a bamboo chair strapped into a stretcher and quickly headed to the town.

At the Luo Family, Luo Dashan and his three sons all went, and only the second aunt from the women went.

Luo Cuilan kept dawdling in the house and didn't come out, so they couldn't wait for her.

After everyone left, they all returned to the courtyard. Zhou Yunmei suggested that Fang Pingying go inside to lie down, saying it was still early, and that those who were pregnant couldn't afford to miss sleep.

However, Fang Pingying didn't fall asleep after returning to her room. She just lay half-reclined, eyes open until dawn.

Seeing it was broad daylight, Fang Pingying quickly dressed and left her bed, going to the courtyard. She saw Luo Honglan standing at the doorway, continuously looking towards the village entrance. She hurriedly asked, "Has anyone come back from the town?"

Luo Honglan shook her head with a worried expression, "Not yet, I've been so anxious since before dawn waiting here."

Fang Pingying felt a sinking feeling in her heart, thinking that her second uncle might really be seriously ill, otherwise, they should have been back by now.

She thought for a moment and said to Luo Honglan, "Why don't we quickly make some food to eat, and after that, we can go to the town and bring them some food."

Luo Honglan immediately nodded, "Good, I think eating in town must be expensive for you all."

After speaking, the two went to the kitchen, planning to make some pancakes. Because they were anxious, they occasionally dropped things on the floor, making a series of noises.

"What are you doing so early in the morning, making all that racket? Can't people sleep?" Luo Cuilan complained, yawning and irritably entering the room from outside.

Luo Honglan, being a kind person, saw how her second uncle got sick due to saving Luo Cuilan and how indifferent Luo Cuilan was. Now as they were making breakfast, Luo Cuilan even displayed impatience.

Right then, Luo Honglan looked displeasedly at Luo Cuilan and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? You didn't miss any sleep yesterday."

Luo Cuilan, seeing Luo Honglan talking back, glared at her and said, "How did I not miss it, with you all making noise here, talking about money and hospitals all the time, how could I sleep?"

Fang Pingying originally didn't want to argue with Luo Cuilan but couldn't hold back after hearing her words. Angered, she blurted out, "Cuilan, you still want to sleep? If it were me, I would have committed suicide as an apology."

"You…"

Luo Cuilan was about to explode when just then, Fang Xiu walked in and continued Fang Pingying's words, "Exactly, you caused the trouble and let others clean up after you. You don't even show gratitude but still whine here, only a person like you could do such a thing."

Luo Cuilan, being reproached like this by everyone at home, became frantic and started talking recklessly, "It's just my second uncle being ill, how big can it be? This sort of thing happens often in the village, nothing happens when they go to town…"

"Luo Cuilan, do you even have any conscience when speaking? My dad got sick saving you, and you say it's not a big deal." Unfortunately, just at this moment, Yu Fen, the second uncle's daughter-in-law, happened to be there and heard Luo Cuilan's words. She stormed right up to Luo Cuilan, pointing at her nose and said,

"I'll tell you, when my dad comes back from the hospital, if he's missing limbs, you'll support him for the rest of his life, because I surely won't carry that misfortune."

"Do you even have common sense? Does a fever result in missing limbs that I have to support him for life?" Luo Cuilan retorted defiantly, "Don't try to pin everything on me. My second uncle is fine, and look at you, acting like a stingy chicken, never intending to care for the elderly. Such unfilial behavior, be careful that your future son might end up without an anus."

Yu Fen, not one to take it lying down, saw Luo Cuilan cursing her unborn son and charged at Luo Cuilan, "Luo Cuilan, I'm done putting up with you today." (To be continued.
