Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Fang Pingying's words left everyone in the room stunned.

The first to react was Zhou Yunmei. She suddenly jumped up, pointed at Fang Pingying and said, "Pingying, what do you mean by that? Don't try to clear your name by slinging mud at my Zhiming. My Zhiming and Xu He are hardly acquainted. How could there be anything between them?"

"Mom, don't rush to argue with me about this. Later, you can ask Zhiyong privately about Zhiming and Xu He," Fang Pingying sneered, not bothering to argue with her, her tone was light, "In your eyes, I'm not trustworthy, but Zhiyong is your son, you should believe him."

"You…" Zhou Yunmei opened her mouth to speak but stopped before the words came out when she saw Fang Pingying's heavily pregnant belly.

Fang Pingying gave her a glance and continued to address Fang Xiu, "Fang Xiu, although I don't agree with you keeping this from Zhiming, since I promised not to tell, I won't. Besides, if I really wanted to harm you, would I need to tell Zhiming in private? When was there ever a day at home that I couldn't speak out? When you do things and speak, use your head, otherwise, you wouldn't have ended up like this today."

Fang Xiu fell silent because she couldn't refute what Fang Pingying had said.

Seeing Fang Xiu silent, Zhou Yunmei sprang up again intending to slap Fang Xiu, "Good, Fang Xiu! These words from your sister are practically proving that you indeed did something wrong to Zhiming. Today I will beat you to death..."

"Stop." Just as her hand was about to hit Fang Xiu's face, Fang Pingying sternly stopped her, speaking up for Fang Xiu, "Mom, don't be a hypocrite. Fang Xiu made a mistake, and you call for her beating and killing, but Zhiming has made so many mistakes, and you've never even lectured him."

Zhou Yunmei did stop her hand, recalling Luo Zhiming's issues, her expression became a bit guilty, yet she stubbornly retorted, "Aren't men and women different?"

"What's so different?" Fang Pingying turned and asked her, "Once married, both should be loyal."

"Fang Xiu did make a mistake this time, but there's also a reason involving Zhiming. If Zhiming hadn't messed with that divorced woman, Fang Xiu wouldn't have gotten involved with someone else. Few women could truly tolerate what Luo Zhiming did back then."

Fang Xiu felt that Fang Pingying really hit the nail on the head with these words, she immediately nodded and started crying somewhat aggrieved.

Zhou Yunmei, unable to refute Fang Pingying's words, yelled out of frustration and embarrassment, "Are you planning to take your sister's side and argue with our Luo Family now?"

"I'm not taking anyone's side, I'm just speaking a fair word." Fang Pingying looked at her with a calm expression, her tone firm, "Now that I've spoken my piece, you can do whatever you like, but don't bring the trouble into my house and disturb my peace."

"You…"

"If you really want a divorce, go home now. I'll pay for the bus tickets." Fang Pingying didn't wait for Zhou Yunmei to finish speaking, she glanced over everyone and coolly continued, "If you don't want them to divorce, then talk it out properly. If you really want to make a scene, go downstairs and far away. This is face you can afford to lose, I cannot."

"You…" Zhou Yunmei had never tolerated such disrespect, her face darkened, ready to kick up a fuss again.

This time, it was Luo Zhiyong who sharply called out, "Mom, stop causing a scene. Pingying is right, you and Zhiming think about how to solve this matter."

Luo Zhiyong had also given Zhou Yunmei and the others a warning while at the hospital to have a proper talk, or if they were really going to make trouble, they would have to leave.

Zhou Yunmei gave Luo Zhiyong a look and took a few heavy breaths. In the provincial city, she could only rely on Luo Zhiyong and his wife. If she really got kicked out, just staying at a guesthouse would be an expense they had to bear, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger and stay quiet.

She calmed down a bit before glaring at Fang Xiu through gritted teeth, "Let's get a divorce; what else is there to talk about? Once Zhiming's leg is healed, we'll go back and get this settled. Our Luo Family can't keep a shameless daughter-in-law like you."

"Mom, I know I was wrong this time, there won't be a next time. I will live a good life with Zhiming from now on." Fang Xiu didn't want to get divorced, crying as she pleaded with Zhou Yunmei, "Also, the child in my belly could very likely be Zhiming's."

Zhou Yunmei pushed her away without any mercy, cursing, "You're really shameless. You don't even know who the father of your child is, and you still have the face to talk. If I were you, I would've jumped into the river and died."

Fang Xiu still insisted on not getting a divorce, "Mom, I beg you, think about me being pregnant, don't let Zhiming divorce me. I will take good care of you in the future."

"I don't need a daughter-in-law like you." Zhou Yunmei looked at Fang Xiu and snorted firmly, "This marriage is definitely getting annulled; no matter how much you beg, it's no use. Zhiming said the same thing himself in the hospital today."

"Dad..." Seeing that pleading with Zhou Yunmei was futile, Fang Xiu turned to Luo Dashan.

"This matter is not something I can manage; let's see what Zhiming decides." Although Luo Dashan was honest, he was actually even more repulsed by things like this, but he still respected Luo Zhiming's wishes, "If he insists as well, we'll just go home and settle it after he's better."

Hearing this, Zhou Yunmei nodded, "Right, since your parents are also in the same village, it makes things easier to handle."

Fang Xiu saw that the two Luo family elders were determined to divorce, wiped away her tears, stopped pleading, and said with a cold laugh, "Fine, let's divorce, but don't think you can get away with it so easily."

"What else do you want?" Zhou Yunmei glared at her, looking at Fang Pingying, "You cheat on your husband, and you still think you can extort money from our family?"

Fang Xiu let out a cold laugh, "I might have messed around, but do you think your precious Zhiming is any better? He had a child with that divorced woman before, and now he's involved with Xu He. Do you think I would let him off easily?"

"You..." Zhou Yunmei, unable to contain her anger, made a move to hit her.

But before she could, Fang Xiu started screaming like she was being slaughtered.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu furrowed her brows tightly and flung open the door, "Are you going to make a scene?"

Her implication was clear— if they really wanted to make a scene, they could all go outside and do it.

"Forget it, Yun Mei, let them solve it themselves. We'll go to the hospital tomorrow to see what Zhiming says. If he insists on getting a divorce, once his leg is healed, we will all go back," Luo Dashan called out to stop Zhou Yunmei, frowning as he spoke, "This is someone else's house after all. There are people living upstairs and downstairs. It would be embarrassing if others heard us, and then even Zhiyong and Pingying would be laughed at."

"This house belongs to someone else, you're not lying to us again, are you?" Zhou Yunmei looked at Fang Pingying suspiciously, and upon seeing the uneasy expressions on Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong's faces, she immediately averted her eyes, touching the pristine white walls and looking around at the furniture she had never seen before, she exclaimed,

"Still, this house is really nice; there are so many things I've never seen before." (To be continued.
