Chapter 284: Still Not Done Making a Scene
Besides, Fang Pingying said yesterday herself that she would provide for them both in their old age, so she has nothing to argue about.
As for how much money Fang Pingying actually earns, whether she thinks it's a lot or a little, she doesn't need to know.
Fang Pingying, looking at Li Yuchun, also roughly guessed what was on her mind.
Although she knows that Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun's kindness is not selfless, she can accept this sort of thing.
Moreover, even if Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun were not kind to her now, she would still provide for them when they are old.
Therefore, she felt quite comfortable with Li Yuchun setting such moderate boundaries.
Unlike Zhou Yun Mei, who actually also knows they will inevitably rely on them when they're old, but she feels it's natural, even thinking it's okay to work them to death as their duty is to be filial regardless.
So, she nodded to Li Yuchun, "Got it."
Li Yuchun chatted casually with her, and somehow, they suddenly talked about past events.
Li Yuchun said somewhat awkwardly, "Pingying, actually, Mom came here today to apologize to you. About the last time when I said I'd ask you for money for Xiu'er, I said it in haste, you shouldn't take it to heart."
After pausing, she patted Fang Pingying's hand and said, "I know very well how much you've done for the family over the years. It's just that Xiu'er is not as obedient as you, and she's mischievous outside, so I keep a closer eye on her."
"Mom, I understand, let's leave the past in the past, let's not talk about it anymore." Regarding the past, Fang Pingying no longer wanted to dwell on it, "In the future, just live a good life at home with dad. If you're short of anything, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you."
After a brief pause, she added, "But I also need to make things clear, I'm happy to buy things for you, but if you turn around and give the money or things I gave to Fang Xiu, I won't be pleased."
"You see..." Li Yuchun couldn't help but speak up for Fang Xiu, "Actually, Xiu'er just has a bad temper, but deep down she knows you treat her well." This chapter is part of the collection on MV2LEMP2YR.
"Mom, she doesn't know." Fang Pingying said coldly with a laugh, "If she knew, she wouldn't have chosen to believe Xu He over me in this matter."
Recalling the messy situation with Fang Xiu, Li Yuchun shook her head and sighed, "I will talk to her about this; she won't be going to the provincial city this year, and I will speak to her well at home."
Fang Pingying nodded indifferently, "Let her be, just don't say I didn't warn her when she is harmed by Xu He."
Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong stayed at Li Yuchun's house for one night. The next morning, thinking of catching the train, they got up at dawn.
Li Yuchun also got up early and specifically made pancakes for them and packed the rest in a lunch box for them to take on the road.
Fang Ping'an initially wanted to escort them to the road to catch the transport, but Fang Pingying said Yu'er was going too, and possibly Luo Dahu and his wife were going too, making it inconvenient to talk.
Fang Ping'an thought about it and agreed, giving them some advice before seeing them out of the doorway.
When Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong reached the roadside, they saw Yu'er and a few others already waiting there.
And besides Luo Honglan and Yu'er, unexpectedly Luo Zhiming and Li Shunsheng, who went with Luo Honglan to meet relatives yesterday, were also carrying things.
Fang Pingying knew about Luo Zhiming, who was still working at the timber factory in the provincial city and had initially planned to leave with her.
But Li Shunsheng, why was he also coming along?
Fang Pingying glanced at Luo Zhiyong, who slightly furrowed his brow.
Yesterday, when they were discussing marriage, this matter was indeed brought up, but she didn't expect it to actually happen.
As Fang Pingying and the others approached, Yu'er and Luo Honglan walked over.
Fang Pingying asked Luo Honglan, "After we left yesterday, did your mom cause any more trouble?"
Luo Honglan whispered, "She made a fuss for a while, but my dad scared her off. He almost hit her again."
"Actually, the way Auntie makes a fuss is always the same trick: first crying and making a scene, then threatening to kill herself. It's just like Cui Lanji, just to scare people," Yu'er said with a curl of her lip,
"Look, every time she argues with someone, she threatens to die, but all these years, isn't she still alive and well?"
Hearing this, Qiu Xiu poked Yu'er on the forehead, "Don't talk nonsense. If your aunt hears this, you'll be in big trouble."
Afterwards, she quietly explained to Yu'er what to be aware of when going to the provincial city.
Fang Pingying glanced towards Li Shunsheng and then quietly asked Luo Honglan, "What's the deal with that man, is he here to see you off?"
"He's not; he also mentioned wanting to go to the city to find a job. He'll go with us," Luo Honglan looked at Fang Pingying, somewhat embarrassed, "I've already told him that we have no place to stay, no job to offer, and if he really goes, he must find his own job and lodging; I won't take care of him."
"You…" Fang Pingying frowned and said, "Haven't I already told you not to be so rushed? You are already taking him with you, can you really ignore him?"
She really didn't know what to say to Luo Honglan. She'd told her repeatedly not to get entangled with Li Shunsheng, yet she agreed to take him to the provincial city.
Once they really go to the provincial city, can the two of them really have no relationship?
Seeing Fang Pingying's displeasure, Luo Honglan hesitated and said, "Should I tell him to go back now?"
For Luo Honglan's sake, Fang Pingying nodded at her, "Let him go back then. Just say to wait at home for a while, and once you find him a job in the county, then notify him to come."
"Should I go and tell him now?" Luo Honglan felt somewhat reluctant, thinking that it seemed harsh to send someone back after they had packed up.
"Yes, talk about finding a good job later." For Luo Honglan's future, even if it meant being the bad person, Fang Pingying was ready to be one.
Just as Luo Honglan was about to speak, she saw Zhou Yunmei and Luo Dashan hurriedly coming down the small village road.
Fang Pingying now found the sight of Zhou Yunmei annoying. Seeing them approach, she stepped aside, planning to leave by car if Zhou Yunmei caused a scene here.
After Zhou Yunmei arrived, she just glanced at her and then pulled Luo Zhiyong aside, "Did you remember what I said yesterday?"
Luo Zhiyong, visibly impatient, frowned at Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, what are you talking about? Wasn't last night enough?"
Zhou Yunmei glared at him and repeated, "When your wife is four months pregnant, I must go to the provincial city to take her for a check-up myself. If it's a girl, I insist on having it aborted."
"Mom, do you really want me to get divorced?" Luo Zhiyong angrily growled in a low voice, careful not to speak too loudly, worrying that Fang Pingying might hear.
Zhou Yunmei didn't care about that, wishing Fang Pingying could hear, deliberately raised her voice and yelled towards Fang Pingying, "If it's really a girl and she won't keep it, then let's divorce. A chicken that doesn't lay eggs is useless to keep."
Hearing this, Fang Pingying's face darkened, but she didn't respond, instead wanting to hear how Luo Zhiyong would answer. (To be continued.
