Chapter 312: Fang Xiu Admits Her Fault
Pingying, seeing Zhou Yunmei mention it again, was somewhat impatient and frowned at her, "Mom, it doesn't matter whether I deceive you or not, I earned the money through hard work. If I really want to buy something, I don't need to report to everyone."
"You..." Zhou Yunmei half-spoke, glanced at Pingying's belly, then unexpectedly deflated and didn't continue with Pingying, but instead called out, "Forget it, it's getting late, let's have dinner first, and after eating, I'll take some food to the hospital and take care of Zhiming tonight."
Dashan waved his hand, "I'll go, you can go tomorrow."
"That works." Zhou Yunmei agreed.
After a while, the argument ceased.
After dinner, Zhiyong drove Dashan to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhiyong questioned Zhiming, "Zhiming, why did you lie to Fang Xiu, saying that it was your sister-in-law who told you about Fang Xiu's situation?"
"I..." Zhiming felt guilty when Zhiyong suddenly asked about this.
Zhiyong actually guessed the reason Zhiming lied, and asked directly, "Don't treat us like fools. What exactly did you do with Xu He that day that you are trying to cover up?"
"It's nothing, nothing." Zhiming's eyes flickered slightly, then he pretended it was nothing and looked away, avoiding Zhiyong's eyes, "Didn't I tell you? I just took her there."
Zhiyong smirked coldly and pressed him, "And then you stayed out all night without coming back?"
Seeing he couldn't cover it up anymore, Zhiming began to lose his temper, yelling at Zhiyong, "You're not my wife, what business is it of yours?"
"But you are now slandering your sister-in-law for her, so I have to get involved." Zhiyong had long given up on meddling in Zhiming's affairs, but he wouldn't have brought it up if Zhiming hadn't dragged Pingying into this.
"Brother, you really have changed." Zhiming, worried that Zhiyong might guess what he did with Xu He that day, became anxious and deliberately changed the topic, "There's a saying that once you get a wife, you forget your mother. Ever since you brought a wife home, you no longer see us as family."
"Zhiming, if I didn't see you as family, you wouldn't be here right now." Zhiyong saw through Zhiming's little scheme and shook his head without wanting to delve further, "Forget it, I won't ask about your matters anymore, I'm tired of asking. After you leave the hospital, whether you go back to the lumber mill or go home, don't come looking for me."
"Zhiyong..." Dashan saw two brothers like this and wanted to speak up to advise.
But Zhiming didn't let him speak, stood up, and gestured to Dashan, "Dad, you stay here; I'm leaving."
Meanwhile, at Pingying's home.
After Zhiyong and others left, Zhou Yunmei was originally still nagging at Fang Xiu, but was stopped by Pingying.
Zhou Yunmei, considering the "great merit" Pingying had done for the Luo Family, surprisingly did not retort.
Because her feelings had changed, originally because Fang Xiu was pregnant, and after Fang Xiu was four months along, she took Fang Xiu to the hospital for a check-up, secretly gave the doctor a red envelope, and the doctor confirmed it was a boy, so she wasn't as concerned about Pingying's side as before.
But she had still planned to come over and take Pingying for a check-up recently.
After arriving here, she learned that Pingying was expecting twins, which meant there was a 50% chance of having a boy, and since Fang Xiu's baby wasn't critical, she naturally started to care more about the child in Pingying's womb.
So, no matter what Fang Pingying said today, she had been holding back.
Considering her grandson as the priority, during these months Fang Pingying was pregnant, she planned to endure first, and deal with later matters later.
Seeing that they stopped causing trouble, Fang Pingying began arranging their accommodation.
With many people, the house couldn't accommodate everyone, so Fang Pingying had to arrange beds.
Originally, it would be best for Luo Honglan and Yu'er to go to the shop, while Fang Xiu and Zhou Yunmei stayed here.
But now that things had become like this, having Fang Xiu and Zhou Yunmei stay together might end up causing more trouble.
Fang Xiu then let Luo Honglan and Yu'er go back to the shop, and set up a bed in the living room couch for Fang Xiu to sleep, while Zhou Yunmei slept alone in the adjacent bedroom.
Zhou Yunmei had been sitting in a car all day, and had enough of the quarreling, so she went to sleep as soon as she entered the room.
After tidying up the room, Fang Pingying was also planning to sleep, but was stopped by Fang Xiu's choked voice, "Big sister."
Fang Pingying looked coldly at Fang Xiu, but did not forget that just a few hours earlier Fang Xiu had been pointing at her, ready to fight her to death, "What's the matter, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"
Fang Xiu looked at Fang Pingying with a pitiable bite of her lip, "My sister, what should I do now?"
Fang Pingying looked at her, her tone light, "Fang Xiu, I can't manage your affairs, nor do I want to, you figure it out yourself."
After saying this, Fang Pingying intended to return to her room.
However, Fang Xiu suddenly stood up from the sofa, grabbed Fang Pingying, and sobbed in a low voice, pleading, "Big sister, please tell me what to do now."
Seeing her like this, Fang Pingying also felt uneasy, but remembering what she had done from the new year to today, the anger in her heart was not easily quelled, and she pulled her hand away, intending to enter her room, "Go to sleep."
Seeing this, Fang Xiu suddenly walked in front of Fang Pingying, knelt down on her knees before her, crying and begging her again, "Sister, I beg you, I know I was wrong before, I was too gullible and believed Xu He's words, treated Xu He like a sister, sided with her, spoke ill of you, I admit I was wrong, terribly wrong."
She paused, then grabbing Fang Pingying's hand, continued crying, "I won't do it again, I know who is good and who is bad now, I won't blindly believe others anymore, I am really at my wits' end, there's no other way, please give me some advice."
Given what Fang Xiu had done, Fang Pingying really didn't want to bother with her.
But seeing her crying profusely, her cheeks slightly swollen from being slapped, especially crying in front of her with a big belly, Fang Pingying's heart softened; after all, although Fang Xiu was foolish, she had never done anything to hurt her.
There was no irreconcilable enmity between the two sisters.
Fang Pingying lifted her up, sighed, and said, "Fang Xiu, if you had realized this sooner, things wouldn't have come to this."
Fang Xiu knew this herself, but by this time, it was already too late.
She wiped her tears, and once again asked the question she was most uncertain about in her heart, "Sister, what should I do now?"
"Fang Xiu, tomorrow I'll buy you a ticket, and you go home," Fang Pingying thought for a moment, and spoke to advise her, "After you go back, discuss with mom and dad, see what their opinion is, you can't make a decision on this matter yourself, I don't have any advice."
