Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 338: How Did It Come to This



"I have thought about it for a long time, it might be Luo Zhiming and Xu He who are harming me." Fang Pingying shared her analysis with Luo Zhiyong,

"Yesterday's meal probably wasn't bought by mom and dad, it was delivered by Zhiming, and the congee I ate yesterday was specifically instructed by Xu He for Zhiming to make me eat. Luckily, there were guests buying things yesterday, so I only had a few bites. If I had finished the whole bowl of congee, the child might have been lost right then and there."

Luo Zhiyong thought about this possibility, breathing in shock fearfully, if it was true, their child might have been lost, and Fang Pingying could have nearly died.

He wrapped his arms around Fang Pingying, taking a deep breath.

After a pause, he thought about Luo Zhiming doing this, still somewhat unwilling to believe, "You're guessing this, aren't you?"

"Do you see any other possibilities?" Fang Pingying said, then continued to share the details she found suspicious with Luo Zhiyong.

Actually, when Fang Pingying first shared her analysis, Luo Zhiyong knew it made sense, but he desperately didn't want to believe that Luo Zhiming could disregard brotherly love, always making excuses for him. But with facts laid before him, he couldn't help but believe.

After processing it thoroughly, he immediately became enraged, stood up from the bed, and walked outside the sickroom, "I am going back and confronting him over the phone right now."

"Wait a moment." Fang Pingying quickly called him back, "We definitely need to clarify things but not right now, it's already late, how would you confront him?"

Luo Zhiyong was still holding onto a sliver of hope, hoping there had been some misunderstanding, "I'll call home first to check if the meals were really sent by Zhiming."

Fang Pingying shook her head and frowned, "If you call back home, you won't see Luo Zhiming's expression; how can you be sure about anything?"

Moreover, if Luo Zhiming denies it, wouldn't that give him time to think about how to get his story straight?

Luo Zhiyong, hearing Fang Pingying say this, frowned tightly, "Then what should we do? Our child was almost gone, and we just let this go without even asking?"

"Let's not panic. We'll talk when you are on leave. I definitely have a way to clear the truth." Fang Pingying thought of pretending nothing was wrong and waiting to catch Luo Zhiming off guard when she saw him again.

People often reveal their panic when completely unprepared. If he were prepared ahead of time, he would surely come up with numerous excuses.

In fact, for Fang Pingying, the reason to clarify the truth was to let Luo Zhiyong realize that a brother like Luo Zhiming should not be kept; otherwise, she wouldn't bother going through so much trouble and would just break ties with Luo Zhiming. Whether he lives or dies would then be none of her concern.

Luo Zhiyong also felt that Fang Pingying's words made sense and turned back, his face still stern, telling Pingying, "If it is really Luo Zhiming who did this, then anything concerning him will have nothing to do with me."

Pingying looked at Luo Zhiyong, speaking seriously, "I would say the same. If he really did this, and you still treat him like before, caring for him, then our days together are also over."

Luo Zhiyong furrowed his brows lightly, "What are you talking about."

"Zhiyong, I am serious," Fang Pingying looked at him, her face firm, "I can endure the constant bickering at home, I can even endure Luo Zhiming extorting others for money, but I cannot tolerate him targeting my unborn twins. The moment he decided to harm my children, he severed all ties with you."

"I understand." Luo Zhiyong was really determined now, nodding without any hesitation, "Once this is confirmed, I won't forgive him either."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now, and we can handle this over the weekend." Since Luo Zhiyong had agreed, Fang Pingying didn't persist further. She raised her hand to touch Luo Zhiyong's slightly haggard face due to running around these past days, speaking softly,

"You go back to the army first thing tomorrow morning, stop coming these few days. My mom will take care of me during the day, and at night, Yu'er and Hong Lan will stay at our house, don't neglect your work."

"Hmm." Luo Zhiyong casually nodded, but his mind was still preoccupied with this matter. He sighed, somewhat perplexedly, "I just don't understand how Luo Zhiming could become like this."

In Luo Zhiyong's mind, he had always thought of Luo Zhiming as just being spoiled by Zhou Yunmei since he was young, being lazy and a bit naughty, not very ambitious, but never malicious, at least not towards his family members.

But this extreme act that he committed now was unacceptable to Luo Zhiyong.

Fang Pingying felt similarly to Luo Zhiyong, that even in the past, despite Luo Zhiming causing lots of trouble later, he had never schemed against his family members.

But in this life, Luo Zhiming had indeed changed.

Holding Luo Zhiyong's hand, she looked at him and said, "Don't underestimate the influence a woman can have on a man, especially like Xu He. In front of her, Luo Zhiming only gets manipulated, you should be cautious, she still has designs on you."

"Such women are problematic." Thinking of Xu He, Luo Zhiyong was truly frustrated, "There are so many good men in this world, why do they cling to men who are already married? I swear I barely spoke with Xu He. If it hadn't been for her getting close to my mom later, I wouldn't even know there was such a person in the village."

Fang Pingying watched Luo Zhiyong say this, amused internally. Coming from his own mouth, these words were somewhat helpless but also funny.

She playfully glanced at him and chuckled, "Don't declare your loyalty to me here. You must have had some interaction with Xu He at some point, why else would she cling to you?"

Luo Zhiyong thought seriously and couldn't recall anything, just shaking his head, "Maybe we played together as kids, but I really don't remember."

"Really?" Fang Pingying glanced at him teasingly, "Xu He is considered one of the top beauties in the village, with many young men vying to marry her, and you weren't tempted at all?"

Luo Zhiyong looked at Fang Pingying, and after a moment, half-jokingly burst out, "When we got married, didn't you also say you were one of the prettiest girls in the village? I didn't know you before either."

"Luo Zhiyong, you're just hopelessly foolish," Fang Pingying was speechless. While he seemed smart, he was actually a fool. If it were another woman, she would certainly have been upset with him.

But Fang Pingying understood what he was trying to express and didn't bother with it, simply chuckling and retorting, "Only a fool like me would marry you. If it were someone else, they probably would have been driven mad by you long ago."
