Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Due to excessive exercise, the two chatted until Xu He fell asleep in a drowsy state.

Leaving Luo Zhiming by himself, wide-awake. Although his body was extremely tired, he couldn't fall asleep, his mind was too stimulated.

Firstly, because Xu He agreed to marry him, he was truly excited.

In their Luojia Village, Xu He had always been regarded as a goddess, coveted by many men. After reaching adulthood, there were quite a few matchmakers knocking on her door to propose on behalf of others, but Xu He had never accepted any.

Now, Xu He was actually going to marry him, and all of her firsts belonged to him, which made him incredibly happy just thinking about it.

But at the same time, his heart was filled with deep worries.

He knew that Xu He's swift agreement to marry him was due to a mix of factors.

Such as being overpowered by him last time, his agreement to help her deal with Fang Pingying, but the most important and also the most difficult point, he knew it was his bragging about having money and being able to buy a house in the city that made Xu He decisively agree to marry him.

The first two issues, Luo Zhiming didn't care about; he could toughen his heart to deal with them. But when it came to buying a house, he had no idea how to resolve it.

Nowadays, even the simplest apartment in a bad location in the city cost at least twenty thousand yuan. He only had about one thousand yuan left in his hands, where was he supposed to get the money to buy a house?

But if he didn't buy it, he didn't dare imagine how Xu He would react upon finding out.

Right now, he was not afraid of anything except for Xu He leaving him.

After a long time of racking his brains without coming up with any good solutions, Luo Zhiming finally decided to take things one step at a time; get married to Xu He first, and then worry about the rest later. Perhaps after marriage, a woman would have to make some compromises.

Comforting himself this way, Luo Zhiming finally fell into a deep sleep.

When the two woke up, it was already late morning.

Seeing Xu He lying naked beside him, Luo Zhiming certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity. Moreover, he was about to return to Luojia Village, and the next time he came to the provincial city, it would probably be when Xu He unmasked all his deceptions, so he didn't know if he would have another chance to touch her.

Thus, despite Xu He's resistance, he insisted and they engaged in some more physical activity.

At first, Xu He was unwilling to comply, but during the process, she too enjoyed the pleasure and eventually immersed herself wholeheartedly, becoming particularly unrestrained. Her screams almost brought the neighbors over.

By noon when they got up and went to borrow a coal stove from the front desk, the people there looked at them uneasily.

Xu He asked Luo Zhiming to borrow the coal stove while she went out to buy something.

When she was at home, she had heard her mother, Duan Fenghua, say that pregnant women shouldn't eat crabs; eating too many could easily lead to miscarriage.

She planned to use this method to cause Fang Pingying to have a miscarriage.

She spent money to buy some crabs and shrimps from outside, removed their shells, and put all the crab and shrimp meat into the porridge to simmer until very mushy. She also deliberately masked the smell, making it nearly impossible to detect the crab aroma.

Worried the effect might not be strong enough, she also simmered the crab shells in the porridge. When the porridge was ready, she removed the crab shells, ensuring there were no visible traces of crab before she packed the porridge into a lunch box.

Then she went back to her room and instructed Luo Zhiming, "Remember, you take this porridge back home to your dad. Say that you had a very nutritious shrimp congee outside and specially brought it back for your parents to eat. But, you must make it seem accidental when you mention that this porridge is particularly good for pregnant women and the baby in the womb."

Xu He gave these specific instructions to Luo Zhiming and Luo Dashan because she knew, firstly, Luo Dashan was an honest man who wouldn't suspect anything else, and secondly, because Luo Dashan had always treated Fang Pingying well, she wouldn't suspect anything coming from him.

After explaining everything, Xu He made sure Luo Zhiming brought back some other dishes as well, saying it was just something he brought along for the family to enjoy together, so it wouldn't seem too conspicuous.

Xu He kept reminding Luo Zhiming, "You must make sure Fang Pingying drinks this porridge; otherwise, there won't be such a good opportunity again."

Once everything was set, Xu He returned to work at the factory, while Luo Zhiming carried the items to Fang Pingying's shop.

Since he needed to hide the fact that he brought the meals, he did not enter the shop but stood not far from Fang Pingying's shop, waiting for Luo Dashan and Zhou Yunmei to come out alone. As soon as they did, he immediately stepped forward, calling out to "Dad, Mom."

Luo Dashan and Zhou Yunmei had worried all night. They had planned to leave today but didn't allow Luo Zhiyong to purchase tickets since they were unsure of his whereabouts, intending to keep looking.

The moment they saw Luo Zhiming, Zhou Yunmei anxiously slapped him a few times, saying, "You dead child, what exactly are you up to? Disappearing all of the sudden, causing your dad and me to worry to death."

Luo Zhiming pretended to still be angry with them, "You're worried about me? You left me in the hospital without a care, thinking that if I died, I died. Why bother worrying about me now?"

After Luo Zhiyong spoke those words at the hospital yesterday, Luo Dashan left immediately. Zhou Yun was originally there, but eventually, she found an excuse to leave too. Naturally, Luo Zhiming knew his parents were frightened by Luo Zhiyong's threats to cut ties.

Yesterday, he was somewhat angry with them, but now that he had gotten the money, he didn't think much of it, just casually complaining to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun glanced at him and whispered, "When did we ever stop caring about you? Didn't I tell you yesterday? I came back first to appease your brother."

Although Luo Dashan was worried when he didn't see him, now that he saw he was alright, he scolded with a dark face, "You still have the nerve to speak? You shouldn't have engaged in that extortion in the first place."

"All right, it's all in the past now, no need to talk about that." Stopping Luo Dashan, Zhou Yun looked at Luo Zhiming and blinked, "Zhiming, I heard they compensated you with two thousand yuan?"

Luo Zhiming nodded, "Did big brother tell you all when he got back?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun immediately reached out her hand towards Luo Zhiming, "Where's the money? Give it to Mom, and I'll keep it safe for you. I can give it back whenever you need it."

"Mom, I need that money for myself." Luo Zhiming thought for a moment, then pulled out 50 yuan and handed it to her, "Here, take this fifty. You and Dad should have enough for several months at home."

Zhou Yun took the fifty yuan but still seemed unsatisfied, pressing on, "What are you doing carrying so much money on you? What if you lose it?"

Luo Zhiming grew impatient, "Mom, I won't lose it. I've already said I need it. I'm planning to go to the provincial city after divorcing Fang Xiu, to open a shop similar to big sister-in-law's."
