Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

```

As soon as Fang Pingying finished speaking, Fang Xiu immediately glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense."

Fang Ping'an knew something was definitely up and frowned at Fang Xiu, "What's going on?"

Fang Xiu lowered her head and said nothing.

Fang Pingying glanced at her, then spoke for her, "Fang Xiu is pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun both breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yuchun even scolded Fang Pingying with a smile, "I and your father already knew about this. Aren't you also pregnant? These past few days in the village, everyone's been saying how lucky I am and your mother-in-law as well, she's getting two grandsons at once, and I'm getting two grandchildren."

Fang Pingying looked at Li Yuchun and smiled faintly, "Mom, it's true you're getting two grandchildren, but whether my mother-in-law gets two grandsons or not isn't so certain."

"Fang Pingying, you shut your mouth."

Fang Pingying ignored her and continued to clarify, "Fang Xiu is pregnant, but the child might not be Zhiming's."

"What?" Li Yuchun's face fell with shock, but naturally, she believed in Fang Xiu. She looked at Fang Pingying unhappily, "Pingying, what are you talking about? Sisters may fight, but you can't just say whatever you want."

Fang Pingying sighed, then spoke to Fang Xiu, "Fang Xiu, just admit it in front of mom and dad. If something happens later, won't it have to come out anyway?"

In this village, if Fang Xiu's matter ever gets out, it will definitely drag the family into it.

Fang Ping'an realized the gravity of the situation, looked sternly at the two, and called them, "Both of you, inside."

After everyone entered the room, Fang Ping'an closed the door and looked at Fang Xiu, "Speak, what exactly happened."

Fang Xiu gave Fang Pingying a harsh glare, realizing that she couldn't keep hiding it and simply spilled everything.

After hearing the story, Fang Ping'an got so infuriated that he leaped up and slapped Fang Xiu while cursing fiercely, "Have you no shame? If this gets out, how am I, Fang Ping'an, supposed to face anyone in this place?"

"Rather than being shamed later, it would be better to just beat you to death now." Fang Ping'an was truly enraged. After speaking, he raised his fists to hit Fang Xiu again.

Fang Xiu had never been hit by Fang Ping'an before and burst into tears on the spot.

Li Yuchun saw Fang Ping'an going to hit her again, stepped forward to block him, while persuading, "Old man, it's no use beating her now. We can't just blame Fang Xiu alone for this. That Zhiming isn't any good either. If it wasn't for what happened with him, how would my Xiu'er have ended up meeting another man?"

Quick to find an excuse, Fang Xiu immediately claimed that it was Luo Zhiming who forced her.

After mentioning Luo Zhiming, and seeing Fang Pingying standing by, Fang Xiu pointed accusingly at her and scolded vehemently, "And her, if she hadn't kicked me out of her shop back then, I wouldn't have been deceived by that man. She's the real culprit."

Li Yuchun had already heard from Fang Xiu about how Fang Pingying had thrown her out, and had wanted to scold her, but previously Fang Pingying was with Luo Zhiyong, so she didn't say anything.

This time, she took the opportunity to angrily blame Fang Pingying, "Pingying, although we picked you up, haven't we treated you well all these years? There's no difference with Fang Xiu, how could you be so heartless toward your own sister?"

Fang Pingying didn't really mind that Li Yuchun and her husband didn't treat her and Fang Xiu equally. She wasn't greedy or expecting too much.

However, she extremely disliked that Li Yuchun kept insisting that she treated them the same.

She laughed coldly and retorted to Li Yuchun with a frown, "Mom, can you honestly say you have treated me as well as Fang Xiu over the years? If it were Fang Xiu, would you tell her to give you money and then cut ties with her completely?"

"And about Fang Xiu's situation, did you ask properly? When Fang Xiu first started working in my shop, I told her as long as she worked diligently, I wouldn't shortchange her a single month's wages. She was treated just the same as Hong Lan, never missing out on anything Hong Lan got. But she brought a man to my shop to steal money. Should I keep a rat in my rice jar?"

After a pause, Fang Pingying pointed at Fang Xiu again, "Also, Fang Xiu, the matter with that man is entirely your own issue. If every woman acted like you, being reckless the moment they met a man, the world would be in chaos." First published on M|V|L!EMPYR.

Fang Xiu's face turned red with anger at Fang Pingying's words. Gritting her teeth, she was about to get physical, "Fang Pingying, I'm done with you today, you've got the nerve to cool-talk in front of me."

"Stop it!" Fang Ping'an intervened, scolding as he stared her down, "Your sister is right. It's all your own doing, acting like this with men outside..."

Seeing Fang Xiu's current state, Fang Ping'an raised his hand to slap her again, "I'm furious, how could I, Fang Ping'an, have such a shameless daughter, I..."

Fang Xiu saw Fang Ping'an truly enraged, his face turning ashen, and didn't dare to talk back anymore, only retreating continuously.

But it was Li Yuchun who once again stepped in to hold Fang Ping'an back, suggesting, "Old man, are you really going to beat her to death? Come up with a plan, tell us what to do."

Fang Ping'an sighed heavily, angry and dropping into a chair, he yelled at Li Yuchun, "With things like this, what do you suggest we do?"

After some thought, Li Yuchun offered a suggestion, "I think let's just leave it be. After all, we're not sure whose child Xiu'er is carrying. What if it's Zhiming's? Then there's no problem. To put it crudely, even if it really is that man's child, no one knows anyway. If the child grows up always calling Zhiming 'dad', they won't know any different, isn't it just like their own?"

Fang Pingying was speechless. Li Yuchun and Fang Xiu were indeed mother and daughter; their ideas were identical—both intent on deceiving.

But Fang Ping'an, still a man, thought more long-term. After thinking for a while, he shook his head, "No, we cannot let this child be born, no matter what."

He explained to them, "Think about it, Xu He in the village knows about this. It can't be guaranteed that others won't find out. Sooner or later it will come out, and by then this child will be evidence. I heard that hospitals in the city can determine whether there is a blood relation between parents and the child."

"On the contrary, if there is no child, even if it does come out, and we don't admit to it, they can't do anything to Xiu'er. As long as Xiu'er follows Zhiming faithfully afterwards, even if Luo Family hears something and really suspects, as long as we deny it, no one can do a thing."

"Is that so…" Li Yuchun thought Fang Ping'an made some sense and looked at Fang Xiu, asking her what she wanted to do. (To be continued.
