Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

No matter what the relationship between Fang Xiu and Fang Pingying was like before, at this moment, Fang Pingying truly felt pity for Fang Xiu, remembering the times when the sisters were together in childhood, her heart softened.

She stepped forward, took Fang Xiu's hand, and comforted her, "It's okay, giving birth is always like this, it will get better soon, just endure it a bit more."

Fang Xiu nodded, knowing in her heart that there wasn't much else she could do.

Other people giving birth, regardless of their wealth, usually had a man by their side to pamper them, but she had no man, and naturally had to bear everything alone.

As they were talking, Li Aihua came in from outside and gestured to Fang Pingying.

When Fang Pingying approached her, she whispered, "Pingying, go ask Zhiyong's mother about who will cover the medical expenses for Fang Xiu giving birth in the hospital, and also, we all came empty-handed, when the child is born, it will need clothes and all."

Fang Pingying nodded, but she had a premonition that Zhou Yunmei was not planning to pay.

If that was the case, she might as well clear up the relationship between Luo Zhiming and Fang Xiu once and for all, end it here, and let Fang Xiu see clearly whether the Luo Family was a place she could depend on after all these incidents.

Fang Pingying called Zhou Yunmei over and quietly asked, "Mom, what are you planning to do about Fang Xiu? Have you prepared for the medical expenses?"

"I…" Zhou Yunmei hesitated, not speaking, still indecisive.

Seeing Zhou Yunmei dithering, but the doctors outside urging for the hospitalization fee in order not to proceed with Fang Xiu's labor, Li Aihua urged Zhou Yunmei, "Mother-in-law, just say the word, if your family acknowledges the child in Fang Xiu's belly, then pay the medical expenses, and also bring along your son. Otherwise, just say the word, so it can be settled."

"I…" Zhou Yunmei still remained silent.

Knowing Zhou Yunmei's character, Fang Pingying mentioned what she cared about most, "The doctor said that if Fang Xiu has a natural birth, staying one night here would cost over 100 yuan."

"Forget it, let's just end it," As expected, once Zhou Yunmei heard it was going to cost so much money, she immediately made her decision, she looked at Fang Xiu and said, "I can't find Zhiming right now, Fang Xiu is his wife, if he doesn't show up himself, I can't be bothered to deal with this."

Fang Pingying forced a smile, knowing Zhou Yunmei would react this way.

She turned to look at Fang Xiu, "Fang Xiu, what do you think?"

Fang Xiu, in excruciating pain, having heard Zhou Yunmei speak like this at this moment, completely lost hope and shouted loudly, "Zhou Yunmei, I want to divorce Zhiming, no matter whose child this is, my Fang Family will take care of it, and from now on, I and your Luo Family will have nothing to do with each other."

Speaking of the child, Zhou Yunmei was slightly moved, she quietly asked Fang Pingying and Li Aihua, "Can this hospital verify whether the child is really Zhiming's?"

Li Aihua glanced at her and said, "The cost of verifying such a matter is not low, my mother-in-law, if you really want to verify, you need to prepare the money first."

"How much?"

Li Aihua stated a fairly conservative number, "At least several hundred yuan, roughly a thousand."

"Then forget it." Zhou Yunmei initially thought it would take just tens of dollars to verify, and she was also planning to squeeze some money out of Luo Zhiyong and his wife for it, but upon hearing it would be so much, she immediately gave up.

After she finished speaking, she completely ignored the hysterical Fang Xiu, called Luo Honglan, and was ready to leave.

Luo Honglan had a soft heart and couldn't bear to leave. She whispered to Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, we don't have anything to do when we go back anyway, let's stay and help until the second sister-in-law gives birth."

Upon hearing Zhou Yunmei saying she wanted to cut ties with Fang Xiu, her expression immediately changed, "What second sister-in-law? A shameless person like that, our Luo Family does not have such a daughter-in-law."

Luo Honglan looked distressed, whispering in persuasion, "Even if that's true, she's still family after all."

Zhou Yunmei was too indifferent to care about family ties, she glanced at Luo Honglan, "Not going back, are you? Then I am going back by myself."

Luo Honglan looked at Fang Xiu lying on the bed and nodded at her, "Alright, you go back by yourself."

Zhou Yunmei gave Luo Honglan a look and then stormed off angrily.

Luo Honglan walked to the bedside, looking somewhat helpless and embarrassed, she said, "Eldest sister-in-law, I'm sorry, my mom is like that…"

"I know." Fang Pingying had always known what type of person Zhou Yunmei was.

"How will we handle this second sister-in-law situation, giving birth here, and where should she go for the postpartum care?" Even an honest person like Luo Honglan knew that Fang Xiu, Zhou Yunmei, and Luo Cuilan could not be together.

If Zhou Yunmei and others were at home, Fang Xiu definitely couldn't go there to stay.

Fang Pingying and Li Aihua exchanged looks, and Li Aihua said, "How about letting Fang Xiu come to my place for her postpartum stay? I'll take care of her for a month."

"No, auntie, that's too much trouble." Fang Xiu held Fang Pingying's hand and said, "Sister, make a call to the village, ask mom and dad to come over tomorrow, and we'll head back the day after tomorrow."

Fang Pingying thought for a moment, realizing that with such a major affair, Fang Xiu might struggle to handle it on her own, and since she herself had to take care of two children, her energy was limited. It would be good to have Li Yuchun and others come over, "Let's decide when to go back later, but it's good to have parents come over. You really do need someone to take care of you."

Fang Xiu nodded in agreement, "Okay, ask mom and dad to come first."

The Luo family had already stopped caring for Fang Xiu, none of Fang Ping'an and the others had come, and Fang Xiu was accompanied by Fang Pingying, Li Aihua, and Luo Honglan during the childbirth.

In between, Fang Pingying was worried about feeding her children at home, so she went back once, fed the two children, and instructed Sister-in-law Zhou to take good care of them.

She then hastily made a call to home, the Village Branch Secretary especially asked Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun to come to take the call. Upon hearing that Fang Xiu was about to give birth here, they were extremely anxious, saying they would come over by car tomorrow immediately, asking Fang Pingying to take care of Fang Xiu first.

After that, Fang Pingying rushed to pack some clothes for the two little ones and brought them to the hospital for Fang Xiu's child.

Fortunately, Fang Xiu was robust, and the baby wasn't too troublesome, and by noon, Fang Xiu had given birth to a boy.

The child was very beautiful, with big eyes and long lashes, very lovable.

Especially Fang Pingying, who had only just become a mother, was even more fond of children.

She and Li Aihua cleaned the baby and brought him to Fang Xiu to see.

Fang Xiu, who had been somewhat hesitant about divorcing Zhiming, went through the ordeal of childbirth, which was like surviving a life-and-death experience. She saw through everything; the Luo family was not a good family, especially after this incident, relying on them was out of the question for her.

She took the child and held him in her arms, kissing him repeatedly. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
