Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 360: A Second Chance at Life



Thinking about everything that happened today, Fang Xiu felt sorrow for herself. If it weren't for her sister, Fang Pingying, taking care of her, she wouldn't even know where her child would have been born today. All of this was thanks to Luo Zhiming.

Such a man, even if offered to her, she wouldn't want anymore.

For the sake of her child, she decided to start her life anew.

She looked at Fang Pingying, her face determined in a way it had never been before, "Big sister, I need to ask you for a favor."

"You say."

Fang Xiu made up her mind and said to Fang Pingying, "I am asking you to find me a job in the city. I promise to transform myself, work hard, make money, and never make the same mistakes as before."

Thinking about the past, Fang Xiu knew she had wronged Fang Pingying and felt somewhat embarrassed to even ask.

Fang Pingying, hearing the determination in her voice, was willing to help her. She nodded and said, "First, take care of your health. After the postpartum period, when the baby is less dependent, come over, and I'll find you a job then."

Fang Xiu wanted to find a job as soon as possible so she could at least support herself and her son, "Please find me one now. After I and our parents go back and the postpartum period is over, I'll come over immediately."

Fang Pingying frowned and looked at the child beside Fang Xiu, whispering softly, "The baby needs to be breastfed for a few months, otherwise it's hard to take care of them."

Fang Xiu thought for a moment and suggested, "How about this: you find me a job first, and I will see if I can rent a place near where I work. Let mom live there for a few months. I can work and breastfeed at the same time, and after the baby is weaned, mom can take the child back."

Fang Pingying thought that this would work too, but Fang Xiu needed to rest for a while longer. She tucked her in and said, "Rest for a bit now. I just called our parents, they will come tomorrow, and we can discuss this matter then."

Fang Xiu nodded, handed the child over to Fang Pingying, and then fell into a deep sleep.

That evening, Li Aihua asked Sister-in-law Zhou to come to the hospital to accompany Fang Xiu and also to take care of the baby.

The next day, while Li Aihua was at home looking after the two children, Fang Pingying went to the hospital early.

At noon, just as Fang Pingying was saying she would go back and bring food for Fang Xiu, coincidentally, as she arrived at the hospital entrance, she ran into Luo Honglan with Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun.

Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun were very happy to know that Fang Xiu had safely delivered the baby. However, upon hearing about the Luo Family's heartlessness, Li Yuchun couldn't help but curse a few times.

Seeing Luo Honglan's embarrassed face, Fang Pingying called Li Yuchun to stop, letting Luo Honglan go ahead into the shop and then taking the two to Fang Xiu's hospital room.

The moment Fang Xiu saw her parents, her eyes reddened with grievance. Li Yuchun quickly hugged her, consoling, "Let it go, the past is the past, don't think too much about it."

After spending some time with the baby, Fang Ping'an took Fang Pingying aside and said with a smile, "Pingying, I heard some things from Honglan on the way here. This time Fang Xiu really owes it to you and your birth mother, your mom and I want to come over to express our thanks. Arrange a time for us."

Fang Pingying smiled and explained to Fang Ping'an about the process of reconnecting with Li Aihua.

Fang Ping'an has always been a reasonable person, and without saying much, he just smiled and said, "Finding your birth mother is your blessing, we couldn't be happier."

Fang Pingying nodded and smiled at him, "Dad, mom knew you guys would come today, everything's ready. We'll just grab something to eat outside for lunch, and Fang Xiu will be discharged in the afternoon. Tonight, we're going to stay at my mom's place. She wants to meet you too."

"This…" Fang Ping'an had planned to visit, but still politely said, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

"Not at all."

Fang Ping'an didn't refuse. He glanced at Fang Xiu and asked about her situation with the Luo Family, "So, about Xiu'er's situation, does the Luo Family really plan to get a divorce?"

Fang Pingying said, "Yes, Fang Xiu agreed herself, and I think it's better to divorce than to cling to something that isn't working."

"Yes, let's get divorced, it's better that way." Fang Ping'an sighed and agreed, "The Luo Family never really treated Xiu'er as a person. It's better she's not humiliated there anymore."

Fang Pingying nodded, "Yeah, Xiu'er has thought it through and has made her plans. You guys can discuss it with her later."

Fang Pingying and Fang Ping'an talked for a while, then both returned to the ward.

Li Yuchun was speaking with Fang Xiu, and she knew that Fang Pingying had been managing everything about Fang Xiu's childbirth, including the medical expenses, and even Fang Pingying's biological mother had been busily involved, mentioning taking care of Fang Xiu during her confinement.

She remembered how she had treated Pingying before, and felt some guilt, so when she saw Fang Pingying this time, her attitude was much better.

Holding her child, she smiled at Fang Pingying, "Pingying, what about your two kids? I wanted to see them since I planned to come over and help with your child, but seeing your mother-in-law already here, I couldn't do much."

"Mom, it's okay. I can handle it." Whether sincere or not, Pingying was very happy with these words.

Li Yuchun stood up, smiled, and shook hands with Fang Pingying, "When I was at home, your mother-in-law mentioned that you found your biological mother, and said that her family was also good. I am very happy to hear this. After all, we are only your foster parents, a step removed from your biological parents."

"Yes, Pingying, come to think of it, we have wronged you over the years." Fang Ping'an mentioned this, his tone full of remorse towards Fang Pingying.

"Mom and Dad, don't say that. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have grown up." Fang Pingying heard their tone as if they felt she wouldn't acknowledge them after finding her biological mother, and reassured them, "Whatever has passed is past. In my heart, there's no difference between you and my biological parents. Things will be the same as before."

"Good, good." Fang Ping'an was truly delighted to hear Fang Pingying say that.

Fang Ping'an, a man with long-term plans, no matter what, Pingying was raised by them. Whether because of his emotional attachment to Fang Pingying or thinking of relying on her for elder care, he was unwilling to sever this relationship.

He chuckled and turned to Fang Pingying, "Are the twin kids easy to handle? People say twins resemble each other closely, do they?"

Fang Pingying smiled and nodded, "They are good. Tonight, when you stay at mom's place, you'll see."

"Ah?" Li Yuchun and her husband exchanged glances, a bit stunned. They had considered staying in a hostel, worried that city folks might dislike country people.

Finally, Fang Ping'an made up his mind and told Li Yuchun, "Let's go. We should also visit and pay our respects; Xiu'er and Pingying have people taking care of them."
