Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 367: Caught in a Dilemma



"Luo Zhiyong, you..." This time, it was Luo Cuilan who started yelling at Luo Zhiyong.

"Luo Cuilan, you better roll back home tomorrow and sort out your own mess," Luo Zhiyong knew that Luo Cuilan was just here to add fuel to the fire. Before she could finish speaking, he angrily roared at her, "If you're going to get treated, take the money from the Zhang family. If you're not getting treated, then you have even less reason to stick around. Go back sooner rather than later."

"I'm not going back." Luo Cuilan, with her head held high, loudly retorted to Luo Zhiyong.

Luo Zhiyong couldn't be bothered to argue with her, merely giving her a cold glance, "Suit yourself. Starting tomorrow, I'm cutting mom's living expenses in half. If you don't go back, then use your own money for living expenses. Don't freeload off my family for food and lodging."

"Mom, let's go home." After saying that, Luo Zhiyong started to head towards the yard, "I'm going to check on Ruirui and Yaoyao."

Zhou Yunmei had suffered so much today, and not only did Luo Zhiyong fail to stand up for her, but he even scolded her. She couldn't let it go just like that. She grabbed Luo Zhiyong and resorted to her most effective tactic, threatening him with death, "Zhiyong, by siding with your wife like this, are you trying to drive your mom to her death?"

"Mom, by doing this, are you trying to drive me to my death?" Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong abruptly stopped, stared at Zhou Yunmei for a long time, then said with a somewhat faint expression,

"When you weren't here, our family was living in harmony. My mother-in-law is a very kind person; she helps me take care of Pingying and the kids. When I come over on weekends, she treats me well too. We don't even have a bit of quarrelling usually. But as soon as you arrive, you make everyone's home restless. How am I supposed to face my mother-in-law after this?"

"And as for Pingying, if you keep treating her like this, our marriage will sooner or later be ruined by you." Luo Zhiyong raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat sad as he asked, "Now that we have Zhiming who got divorced in the family, isn't that embarrassing enough for you? Or do you want me and Pingying to divorce too, and when the family falls apart, will you be happy then?"

"I..." Although Luo Zhiyong hadn't been shouting at Zhou Yunmei, his words were very harsh, and his faint expression made her heart panic, so Zhou Yunmei hardly dared to speak.

"Mom, let's go back, stop making a scene." Seeing the situation, Luo Honglan was afraid that if the argument continued, Luo Zhiyong and Zhou Yunmei would completely fall out. She immediately pulled Zhou Yunmei along and said, "Everyone wants to live a peaceful life."

Zhou Yunmei finally stopped making trouble and followed Luo Honglan's lead and stepped down.

Luo Honglan pulled Zhou Yunmei along and greeted Luo Zhiyong, "Big brother, we're heading back."

Luo Zhiyong nodded and watched as Luo Honglan took Luo Cuilan and Zhou Yunmei away.

Only then he entered the house and saw Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun, greeting them with a smile.

Then, he said to Li Aihua and the others, "Dad, Mom, I apologize. My mom is just like that, I've spoken to her, she won't come over again."

Li Aihua sighed, and not really wanting to blame Luo Zhiyong, still had to say a few words, "Zhiyong, it's not a big deal for us. If she really wants to make trouble, I won't show her a kind face. It's just that I feel sorry for my daughter, having such a mother-in-law and living such a hard life."

Hearing this, Li Yuchun quickly responded, "That's right. I married off two daughters to the Luo family; one has already been ruined by your family. Don't ruin this one too. If you do, I'll really fight your Luo family to the end."

"Don't worry, Dad and Mom, that won't happen," Luo Zhiyong explained to Li Yuchun and the others, "My mom and the rest are here because Cuilan has some health issues. Once the check-up is clear, they'll go back, and we won't be living together in the future."

"It's best that way." But recalling what Zhou Yunmei did today, as a father, Fang Ping'an reprimanded Luo Zhiyong a few words, "Today your mom actually hit Pingying. That's not a good habit. If you don't talk to her about it, next time if we're not around, I definitely won't let my daughter be at a disadvantage. I'd have her fight back, and then don't you dare say the Fang Family lacks manners."

As a son-in-law, Luo Zhiyong could only nod in agreement, "Dad, I understand, it won't happen again."

Seeing that Luo Zhiyong's attitude wasn't bad, the Fangs didn't say much more. "Alright then, as long as things are clear, we won't hold onto them. Let's go and see the kids; it's rare for them to see you from the military."

Luo Zhiyong nodded, then he and Fang Pingying went inside holding the children.

Although Luo Zhiyong only comes once a week, it seems as if the little ones recognize their father, giggling when they see Luo Zhiyong, not being strangers, babbling away in his arms.

Luo Zhiyong was completely melted by the little ones, playing with them for quite a while in his arms.

Only when the little ones had fallen asleep did Luo Zhiyong go to Fang Pingying's side, gently embracing her, and whispered softly, "Wife, I'm sorry, I've made it difficult for you again today, haven't I?"

Fang Pingying gave him a glare, really wanting to take the chance to vent her frustrations,

As the son, it's only right he has to take some of the flack for the mother's wrongdoings. She glared back at Luo Zhiyong, irritatedly saying, "Hey, is your mom brain-damaged or something? Every time she comes, it's all about 'my eldest grandson, my eldest grandson.' Today she even made a scene here for no reason."

Luo Zhiyong let Fang Pingying vent, but remembering the things Zhou Yunmei did, he twisted his brow with irritation, "I don't know what she was thinking either."

Fang Pingying remembered Zhou Yunmei slapping her that day, and she couldn't get over it, she angrily exclaimed, "She was fine and then she hit me. I'm telling you, I was holding Ruirui at the time, and later my mom held me back, otherwise I really would have hit her back."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyong anxiously lifted Fang Pingying's clothes to check, "Where did she hit you, let me see."

"Where would you like her to have hit?" Fang Pingying glared at him, "If she hadn't hit, would you think it's all fine?"

"No, no, I'm just upset that she hit you," Luo Zhiyong said with a bitter smile, truly caught between a rock and a hard place. He couldn't just hit his own mother because of his wife, so he pacified Fang Pingying, "Where did she hit you, let me see."

"It's not about where she hit me; it's the fact that she did that upsets me," Fang Pingying pouted, knowing that it's not Luo Zhiyong's fault, and sighed.

But because of the injury on Zhou Yunmei's face, she explained to Luo Zhiyong, "Besides, if she hadn't started it today, our moms wouldn't have hit her, although the injury on her face does look quite bad, she hit my mom too."

"I know, I don't blame our moms," Luo Zhiyong was not concerned about these things, he knew his own mother wasn't badly hurt; otherwise, how could she have the energy to shout outside. But helplessly, he said,

"My mom, I know her well, she's been spoiled by my dad all her life, she can't take any losses. Today she didn't win, so she definitely feels uncomfortable, that's why she exaggerated the matter. Don't worry, I've already scolded her about it. If she does this next time, I'll personally send her back and won't let her come to the provincial city again." (To be continued.
