Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 283: Warmth



Luo Dahu has always been a man of his word, especially when it comes to how he treats family and friends. Like Luo Dashan, he can tolerate Yu Fen making a scene at his own house, but he never allows her to be mean to relatives and friends.

Yu Fen knew his temper well, and deep down, she still didn't dare to divorce. After being yelled at by Luo Dahu, she didn't dare do anything but mutter softly and pout as she went into the house.

Seeing that Yu Fen had stopped causing trouble, Luo Dahu turned to Luo Zhiyong and the other person.

It was only then he noticed that both of them were carrying bags, and he probably understood what they were here for.

Luo Dahu walked over to them and asked, "It's late now, where are you planning to go?"

Qiu Xiu immediately joined the conversation, "Why not stay at our place for the night and leave tomorrow morning?"

"Second Aunt, we won't be staying at your place, I'm going to my mother's house," Fang Pingying explained with a smile, "If we stay at your place, my mom will definitely come over to make trouble later, which would be too much hassle."

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, so I couldn't ask you to stay," Qiu Xiu also expressed her concern, "Fortunately, your mother's house isn't far, so it's fine for you to go there."

Fang Pingying understood, patted Qiu Xiu's hand, and then called out to Yu'er in the yard, "Yeah, Yu'er, pack your things. We'll wait for you on the road early tomorrow morning. Later, when you go, remember to tell Sister Hong Lan."

After that, she continued, "Remember to bring more things with you. Once you go to the provincial city this time, you might not come back for a while, so bring more stuff to avoid having to buy everything there with money."

"Alright sis," Yu'er agreed and immediately skipped into the house to pack her belongings.

Just as Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong were about to leave, Luo Dahu called out to them, "Oh right, Zhiyong, Pingying, I'll find a way to repay the medical expenses."

Luo Zhiyong helplessly smiled at Luo Dahu, "Second Uncle, it's gotten to this point, why talk about repayment? From now on, don't mention money. Don't skimp at home, spend where needed. Pingying and I aren't short of that bit of money now."

"Yes, Second Uncle, you've just recovered, you should take care of yourself, don't overexert again," Fang Pingying also smiled and persuaded Luo Dahu.

Qiu Xiu and Luo Dahu were genuinely touched by what Luo Zhiyong and his wife said, knowing that perhaps even their own daughter-in-law wouldn't speak like this.

But people in the countryside couldn't really express themselves well with words.

Qiu Xiu just smiled and, seeing that it was getting late, patted Fang Pingying's hand and said, "Alright, alright, it's getting late. You both go to your parents' house. Tomorrow I'll send Yu'er to the roadside to catch the bus and we'll talk then."

After agreeing, Fang Pingying and the other left with their things for Li Yuchun's house.

Li Yuchun found it strange to see them coming at this hour with bags and chased after them to ask what was going on, but was stopped by Fang Ping'an.

Fang Ping'an thought about it for a moment and guessed that Zhou Yunmei was probably making trouble at home again.

They couldn't go back to the provincial city now, so they came to stay at their mother's house for the night.

Fang Ping'an was actually quite happy that Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong were willing to come, at least it proved that Fang Pingying still saw this place as her parental home.

He let the two of them into the house and ordered Li Yuchun to cook, making a point of telling Li Yuchun to prepare more dishes.

Then, in front of Luo Zhiyong, without asking too much about what had happened at home, he simply said to Fang Pingying, "Stay at home for a few days before returning to the provincial city."

Fang Pingying gave him a smile, "Dad, we're leaving tomorrow. There's a lot going on in the provincial city, we had planned to leave tomorrow anyway."

Fang Ping'an nodded, "If you have things to do, then I won't keep you. But this is your home too. You should be like Fang Xiu, feel free to come back whenever you want. Your parents are here. If nothing else, there's always a meal waiting for you."

His words were few, but they warmed Fang Pingying's heart.

Especially at a time when she had nowhere else to go, it reminded her of when she returned home after divorcing Luo Zhiyong in her previous life.

Fang Pingying's eyes heated up, and she smiled at Fang Ping'an, "Dad, I understand. Being pregnant this year, traveling by car and such is not very convenient. Let's wait until the New Year, and I'll bring the child home then."

Fang Ping'an nodded with a smile, and after a little while, he continued to inquire, "When are you going to have the baby? Let your mom take care of you for a while when the time comes."

"We'll see when the time comes. My due month is the same as Fang Xiu's. Mom might need to stay home to take care of Fang Xiu then."

"About Fang Xiu's child..." Fang Ping'an started, but then he stopped when he realized Luo Zhiyong was there, and he sighed deeply, "Never mind, we'll talk about it later."

"Mm."

Fang Pingying noticed Luo Zhiyong hadn't spoken, but his expression was hesitant, probably because he sensed something was off from what Fang Ping'an had said.

Because logically, Fang Xiu's pregnancy should be a joyous occasion, yet Fang Ping'an seemed troubled.

Fang Pingying decided that if Luo Zhiyong really noticed and asked about it, she would tell him the situation and let him decide what to do.

Perhaps because Fang Ping'an had thought things through, or maybe because Fang Pingying had given Li Yuchun quite a bit of money this year, Li Yuchun was now much nicer to Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong.

The dinner was lavish, and after eating, Fang Ping'an and Luo Zhiyong chatted, while Li Yuchun actually spoke a few heartfelt words to Fang Pingying.

Sitting on the kang bed, directly across from Fang Pingying, she gently touched Fang Pingying's belly and asked softly, "Is the child causing any trouble? Why didn't you call us to tell us about the pregnancy?"

"It's not convenient to take calls at home, and I was planning to return home soon anyway. I thought it's the same to tell you when I get back, so I didn't bother," Fang Pingying said with a smile, glancing at her now slightly protruding belly, "Besides, the baby has been good, not causing trouble, and I haven't had much of a reaction."

"Mm, take care of yourself when you're in the provincial city, don't be like before, only focusing on earning money and working," Li Yuchun advised her, "I heard from Xiu'er that the business at your shop is not bad, so as long as you can make enough money to cover your living expenses, don't work too hard."

"Mom, I also own a share of that shop, I can't just not look after it," Fang Pingying guessed that Fang Xiu might come over to tell Li Yuchun later, so she decided to say it herself.

Moreover, she wasn't worried about Li Yuchun's reaction, since Fang Ping'an was a reasonable man.

To her surprise, Li Yuchun also seemed to understand upon hearing Fang Pingying's words. She was slightly shocked, but did not pursue the matter of the shop and continued to advise Fang Pingying, "Still, be careful. You are carrying a child now, it's not the same as before."

Actually, Li Yuchun's thoughts were simple. No matter how wealthy Fang Pingying was, she was still a girl, and not biological at that. If she was willing to give some money to them as her parents each year and they had enough to spend, they would be content. (To be continued.
