Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Li Aihua saw Luo Cuilan being so rude, directly opening the door and shouting to send her away, "Then don't stay here. Go out on the street and find any place you can stay. It's not like someone will die. Why are you squatting here?"

"You..." Luo Cuilan, her face alternating between red and white with anger, glared at Li Aihua, "Did I ever say I wanted to squat here?"

Li Aihua raised an eyebrow and pointed outside, "Then leave, no one is saying they want to keep you here."

"I'll leave if I want to, what's so great about that." Luo Cuilan, feeling she had lost face, bit her lip and went into the room to pack her things. She purposely smashed things around in the room, making a huge racket, and cursed, "It's just a crappy house in the city, acting like you're something special."

Although the items in the room aren't anything particularly valuable, they were all arranged by Fang Pingying herself, handpicked by her. When she heard the noise, Fang Pingying also became angry. She marched into the room, dumping all of Luo Cuilan's belongings into a bag, then placed the bag by the door, pointing at the doorway, "Cuilan, if you're leaving then go quickly. No one wants to put up with your trouble every day."

"Let's stop this, stop this, no more fighting." Seeing Fang Pingying also starting to evict someone, Zhou Yunmei got scared. If they ended up staying at a hostel, it would be her who had to pay. She immediately grabbed Luo Cuilan, harshly scolded her, and then put on a smile to speak to Fang Pingying, "I'll clean this up later, and I'll also wipe off the black marks on the wall. They can be removed."

Seeing Zhou Yunmei's attitude wasn't bad, Fang Pingying glanced at Luo Cuilan, noticing she was keeping her head down and wasn't as arrogant as before, and she said no more.

She looked at Fang Xiu standing next to her and asked softly, "Have you seen a doctor? When did the doctor say you're due?"

"Sis, Auntie," Fang Xiu greeted Fang Pingying and Li Aihua with a smile, "It's still about ten days from the date the doctor mentioned."

Fang Pingying nodded, touched her belly, "How has your stomach been these days? Have you felt anything wrong?"

Fang Xiu supported her waist, "Nothing particularly wrong, just feeling a bit heavier."

Although Li Aihua had seen Fang Xiu before, she didn't have much of an impression. She had been silent, observing Fang Xiu.

She thought Fang Xiu looked okay, somewhat different from what Pingying had described before, and wanted to lend her a hand. So, she deliberately asked her, "Fang Xiu, have you prepared everything for childbirth, since you came over from home so suddenly?"

Fang Xiu glanced at Zhou Yunmei and shook her head, "Not...yet."

Zhou Yunmei was mopping the floor, pretending not to hear Fang Xiu's words.

Li Aihua followed up on Fang Xiu's response, "Then let's go out and take a look, I'll buy some things for your child. No matter what, the baby will need clothes when it's born."

"This..." Fang Xiu felt a bit embarrassed; after all, she wasn't very familiar with Li Aihua.

But at that moment, Zhou Yunmei suddenly stepped in, pushing Fang Xiu towards Li Aihua and laughing, "Go on, go on, it's right for her to buy things for your child."

Since Li Aihua wanted to talk to Fang Xiu about something, she didn't say much to Zhou Yunmei and called on Fang Xiu and Fang Pingying to head outside together.

After they went out, instead of rushing to buy things, Fang Pingying and Li Aihua took Fang Xiu to their own shop.

Luo Honglan and Yu'er hadn't seen Fang Pingying for a while, and both greeted her with beaming smiles, inquiring about how the two little ones were doing. Luo Honglan was very fond of the two youngsters and had taken the opportunity to knit them a bunch of little sweaters.

Fang Pingying smiled and asked Luo Honglan and Yu'er to watch the shop outside, then she called Fang Xiu into the room.

Fang Pingying gestured for Fang Xiu to sit on the bed and asked her, "Fang Xiu, with things as they are now, what are you planning to do?"

Fang Xiu bowed her head and replied softly, "Mom promised me that she won't let Zhiming divorce me. In the future, I'll still be a daughter-in-law of the Luo Family."

In fact, when Fang Xiu said this, she didn't even dare to speak up. Anyone could see that Zhou Yunmei didn't regard her as a daughter-in-law at all, and Luo Zhiming didn't consider her his wife either. He didn't care about her in the slightest. What else was there to say?

"Do you think it makes sense to force things like this?" Fang Pingying looked at her and sighed, "You're about to have a baby, but the Luo Family isn't planning to take care of you at all. They haven't prepared anything for the child, nor have they mentioned taking you to the hospital for a check-up. They only said they want to test if the child is really Luo Zhiming's."

Fang Pingying shared her concerns, "If the child is Luo Zhiming's, that's still okay, but what if it's not? How can you ensure that Zhi Ming's mother won't change her mind? What if they just leave you in the hospital and neglect you, what do you plan to do then?"

Fang Xiu's eyes darkened, and after a delay, she whispered to Fang Pingying, "Sister, I know. While at home, my parents also advised me, suggesting that I just break it off with Zhiming. No matter whose the child is, our family will take care of it. We don't have a boy in our family anyway. Zhi Ming's mother took me to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the doctor said for sure it's a boy."

"Actually, I also think that what mom and dad are considering is not wrong. When it comes to raising children, there's a humble way and a wealthy way. If we were in the countryside, having mom and dad raise the child wouldn't cost much either." Fang Pingying felt that at present, the decision Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun had come to was also correct, and she too tried to persuade Fang Xiu,

"Plus, you're still young, life is long ahead. If you live in the Luo Family oppressed your whole life, do you think you can lead a good life?"

"I..." Fang Xiu looked at Fang Pingying, hesitating.

Fang Pingying knew her worries and said, "Fang Xiu, don't just think about relying on a man. We women, as long as we work diligently, supporting ourselves and our children is not a problem."

Fang Xiu thought for a moment and then, biting her lip, asked Fang Pingying, "Sister, are you saying I should divorce Zhiming and we take care of the child ourselves?"

Fang Pingying nodded, "As your sister, that's what I'm suggesting. A man like Zhiming isn't worth keeping. Do you know who he is with now?"

Hearing this, Fang Xiu's expression showed a hint of resentment and asked, "Is it with Xu He?"

"Did he make it clear to you?" Fang Pingying was somewhat surprised that Fang Xiu knew.

"He didn't tell me, but he once let something slip when he said that after divorcing me, he would immediately go home to get married," Fang Xiu said, "I thought that if he knew a woman from the city, he definitely wouldn't go home to marry her, which meant that the woman was from our village. Isn't Xu He the only one from our village who works in the provincial city?"

Pausing, Fang Xiu continued, "Moreover, I saw him return home last time, bringing a lot of stuff for Xu He's parents and spending quite a bit of money. And he kept calling them 'uncle' and 'auntie' affectionately."(To be continued.
