Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 369: Addicted to Gambling



Zhou Yunmei, seeing this, was a bit scared and hurriedly grabbed Luo Zhiyong's hand, "Zhiyong, what are you trying to do?"

"Mom, I'm a soldier, I have a job in the army, I can't come back from the army every day just to deal with these messes for you." Luo Zhiyong was really furious at this point and yelled loudly, "Because of your visit this time, I don't even know how much work I've missed, and if it happens a few more times, I will lose my job."

"..."

"Hurry up, pack your things, you are leaving now." Seeing that she didn't respond, Luo Zhiyong grabbed the bag from her hands and headed to the door, "After you leave, we will no longer live in this house, and we won't open Pingying's store here anymore, we'll avoid you, okay?"

"You..." Zhou Yunmei stepped forward and grabbed him again, her face somewhat at a loss, but she just wouldn't speak.

"Also, I'm not staying in the army anymore, I'll just go out and find some random job to do, just like Zhiming and the others used to do, whether in a lumber mill or on a construction site, I'll find a job." Luo Zhiyong was forcing Zhou Yunmei to give him a promise, with a desperate attitude, "So you won't think just because our family is slightly better, you can all swarm to us with problems, I'm so fed up."

Zhou Yunmei's biggest fear was Luo Zhiyong losing his job in the army, she immediately promised, "Zhiyong, I understand, I won't make a fuss anymore, I won't make any fuss in the future, don't resign, keep up the good work in the army."

What Luo Zhiyong was waiting for were these words, but he still deliberately said, "Can I still work there? If you keep making a fuss like this a few more times, even if I want to work, they won't let me."

"I promise I won't make a fuss anymore." Zhou Yunmei dared not really compete with Luo Zhiyong and immediately responded, "Tomorrow I'll take your sister to the hospital and then find Zhiming to settle this matter, and then I'll go home, will that do?"

Luo Zhiyong was finally satisfied, frowning at her, "Are you sure you can stick to your word?"

Zhou Yunmei nodded, but in her heart, she still prioritized her eldest grandson, "However, when I'm here, if you come back from the army, bring my eldest grandson from your mother-in-law's house over for me to see, the main reason I came was to see my eldest grandson."

Luo Zhiyong could agree to this matter, so he slightly nodded at her.

But recalling what Fang Pingying had said, Luo Zhiyong reminded her, "Mom, don't always go on about your grandson, you have a granddaughter too."

Zhou Yunmei pouted, she didn't dare to say more now, immediately changing her tone, "Then bring them both over, I never said I didn't like my granddaughter, I just got used to saying it this way."

Luo Zhiyong, fearing that she would quickly revert to old habits, warned her again, "Alright, Mom, remember what you said, there must not be a next time, otherwise I will immediately resign from the army, divorce Pingying, and leave children, wife, everything behind, and then I'll just go back home with you all to farm."

Zhou Yunmei, as unwilling as she was in her heart, still had to say, "I understand, I understand."

Seeing Zhou Yunmei made a firm promise, Luo Zhiyong then agreed with them.

After sitting in the house for a while, Luo Zhiyong thought about returning to the army, Zhou Yunmei then pulled him saying, "It's late, you surely won't have dinner in the army now, eat at home before you leave, I'll make you a few buns."

"That works." Luo Zhiyong stayed at home for a while, and at dinner time, Zhou Yunmei brought up Luo Zhiming's matter, Luo Zhiyong seized the opportunity to ask, "Mom, Fang Xiu has also given birth, what are you planning to do?"

Zhou Yunmei leaned in close to Luo Zhiyong upon hearing this, "Did you check on Fang Xiu's child today, does he look like Zhiming?"

Luo Zhiyong glanced at her, "He was just born yesterday, how can you tell anything today."

"Oh," Zhou Yunmei thought for a moment, sighed, and let it be. "Fine, let's divorce. Last time Zhiming was making a fuss about divorcing, I didn't agree, neither did Fang Xiu. This time, Fang Xiu agrees as well, so let's just do it."

Luo Zhiyong also felt it was better to end it sooner rather than dragging it out. "Alright, let's divorce. While you're taking Cui Lan for treatments these days, take a look around at the same time. It'd be best to find Luo Zhiming and get him to finalize the divorce, so it doesn't drag on anymore."

Zhou Yunmei immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll look into it."

While Luo Zhiyong and the others were discussing Luo Zhiming, Zhiming himself was immersed in a gambling house.

Last time, the divorce with Fang Xiu at home wasn't successful, and he had no choice but to return to the provincial city.

But a few days ago, he was hesitant to meet Xu He because he didn't know how to explain the situation to her.

Firstly, the divorce wasn't finalized. In case Xu He pushed for marriage, he didn't know how to handle it.

Moreover, he had also said he was going out of town for business for a few days. To keep up with his lie, he had stayed in a hostel for several days.

He would sleep until noon and then go out to find something to eat. After eating, he'd wander around. At night, if he still had some money left, he wasn't in a hurry to find any work.

He wandered around the neighborhood of the hostel for a few days and got incredibly bored. As if possessed, he noticed a nearby card room and, out of curiosity, went in to stay for a while.

Luo Zhiming knew how to play cards back home, and the methods in the provincial city were pretty much the same. After watching for a bit, he got the hang of it.

While observing from the side, he saw a person near him win quite a bit of money. Sometimes, if they were lucky, they could win about ten yuan in one game.

This sight made Zhiming itch to try his luck.

Thus, when someone at the table left due to debt, he immediately took a seat.

Fortunately, his luck was quite good initially. He won several hundred yuan in less than a week, which thrilled him immensely.

He felt there was no easier way to make money than playing cards, sitting idle and earning in a day what would equal a month's wages through labor.

Having won some money and being extremely confident in his card-playing skills, with money in his pocket, he thought it was time to meet Xu He.

He dressed smartly and went to see Xu He. Seeing him all dapper, Xu He was also very pleased.

However, Xu He wasn't one to be trifled with. As soon as they met, they went to a guest house, booked a room, and after some intimacy, Xu He lay on Luo Zhiming, speaking coyly, "Zhiming, when are we buying our house? I heard that now is the best time to buy, or the prices might go up soon."

Hearing about buying a house, Luo Zhiming felt incredibly guilty, but since he had already started the lie, he had to continue it. He pretended to ask casually, "Which place are you interested in?"

Xu He gave him a bright smile, lying in his arms, gently stroking his chest, and said, "Not far from my factory, the houses aren't too expensive, maybe twenty thousand yuan or so for one."
