Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Several people rushed out of the house, only to realize they didn't know where to go.

Zhou Yunmei immediately grabbed Luo Honglan and asked, "Where is the Police Station?"

"I don't know either." Luo Honglan shook her head, as she had been behaving herself since arriving in the provincial city and would not know where the Police Station was.

Hearing this, Zhou Yunmei glared at her annoyedly, "You're really of no use. You've been in the provincial city for so long and you don't even know where the Police Station is."

Luo Honglan felt somewhat embarrassed and stammered, "There are many Police Stations in the city, I don't know which one it is."

Zhou Yunmei glared at her again, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then who informed you about this incident?"

It was then that Luo Honglan remembered and she immediately ran towards Juzi's clothing store while shouting, "You all wait here for a moment. I'll go ask Sister Juzi. It was Sister Juzi who informed me earlier."

After hearing this, Zhou Yunmei and Luo Cuilan immediately followed her, "Let's go together, don't waste time."

The group went to Juzi's shop, and while Zhou Yunmei and Luo Cuilan did not enter, it was Luo Honglan who went in to ask Juzi.

Juzi, knowing about the Luo Family's issues, did not show a good expression to Zhou Yunmei and did not come out to greet them, simply telling Luo Honglan which Police Station it was and how to get there.

After Luo Honglan came out, she called Zhou Yunmei and the others to leave.

Zhou Yunmei and Luo Cuilan, not understanding the situation, seemed to dislike Juzi as well, murmuring along the way, constantly discussing how bad people are.

Hearing this, the earnest Luo Honglan felt annoyed, thinking that the people in her family were indeed too hard to please, always ready to gossip about others' faults.

Finally, they reached the Police Station where Luo Zhiming was.

After asking around, a police officer handling Luo Zhiming's case finally came out.

As soon as Zhou Yunmei saw the officer, without asking further, she directly asked, "Officer, how much money do we need to compensate for my family Zhiming's matter? We are from the countryside and don't have much money. Can we compensate less?"

After the officer understood that they were Luo Zhiming's family, he explained to them, "Ma'am, your son attempted suicide but was saved by us. We informed you to come and pick him up. There is no need for any compensation."

"Attempted suicide?" Zhou Yunmei did not understand what this meant and paused before asking further, "What does that mean?"

Seeing that Zhou Yunmei was not young, the officer patiently smiled and explained, "Ma'am, it means he tried to seek death but we managed to save him. We have already counseled your son, and you can take him home now."

Upon understanding the officer's words, Zhou Yunmei couldn't control herself and forcefully grabbed the officer, crying out loud, "Seek death, why would he seek death if he's well?"

Luo Honglan felt that Zhou Yunmei's reaction was too excessive and immediately went up to hold her, "Mom, don't cling onto the officer. Second Brother is inside, let's go ask Second Brother."

"Right." Zhou Yunmei immediately nodded and asked the officer to take them to Luo Zhiming.

The police officer led them towards the Police Station, reaching a room, the officer pointed at one of the closed doors, "Your family member is inside. Take him back and advise him properly not to do anything foolish again."

As Zhou Yunmei opened the door, everyone saw Luo Zhiming sitting on a stool, his head buried between his legs.

Though his face was not visible, Luo Zhiming's filthy and unkempt appearance was evident, his hair dry and brittle. Had it not been for his recognizable silhouette, Zhou Yunmei and the others could hardly believe such a scruffy person was Luo Zhiming.

Upon hearing the door open, Luo Zhiming immediately lifted his head.

Zhou Yunmei, observing Luo Zhiming who had clearly lost a lot of weight, started crying out of heartache, "Zhiming, what on earth has happened to you, why seek death like this?"

Luo Zhiming looked at Zhou Yunmei and also started crying miserably, "Mom, I don't want to live anymore."

Zhou Yunmei hurried forward, embraced Luo Zhiming in her arms and burst into tears, "Son, what exactly happened? Tell me."

Luo Honglan, seeing them speaking so loudly in the Police Station, felt it was disturbing others, and quietly reminded Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, let's go back first, we can talk it over at home."

Zhou Yunmei dried her tears and quickly nodded, "Yes, let's go back first."

The group left the Police Station, got into a car and returned to the building where Luo Zhiyong lived. Zhou Yunmei was pulling Luo Zhiming to go upstairs.

But Luo Honglan, recalling Luo Zhiyong's words, immediately stopped them and made up an excuse, "I think Second Brother shouldn't stay here. The apartment is too small, there won't be enough space if Second Brother stays. Let's go to the guest house nearby, it's just ahead."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei glared at Luo Honglan, "Do you think money grows on trees? Our home is spacious enough, it's only the three of us there, with your Second Brother it makes four, how could it be too small?"

Luo Honglan hesitated, "Second Brother staying at the guest house is quite convenient, it's just in front, and you don't even need to climb the stairs, plus they serve meals there."

"Are we short of food at home?" Zhou Yunmei gave Luo Honglan a stern look and continued pulling Luo Zhiming upstairs.

"It's not that," Luo Honglan, seeing she couldn't stop them, had no choice but to speak Luo Zhiyong's exact words, "Mom, Big Brother said that Second Brother is not allowed to stay at his house. Otherwise, when he returns, he's going to kick you and Big Sister out."

After Luo Honglan finished speaking, Luo Zhiming began crying again, speaking through his tears with a look of grievance, "Mom, look, this is why I wanted to die. I'm in such a state, yet even my own elder brother doesn't care about me, what's the point of living."

Knowing what Luo Zhiyong had said, Zhou Yunmei became even more infuriated and pulled Luo Zhiyong upstairs vigorously, "Let's go, we will settle in properly. I don't believe your elder brother would dare do anything when he comes back."

Though Luo Zhiming said so, he still felt somewhat guilty and hesitated to go up, "I... I might as well stay at the guest house, otherwise when Big Brother returns he'll lose his temper again, I might get beaten up again. I'd rather be dead."

Luo Honglan, already suspecting Luo Zhiming of wrongdoing, now seeing him backed by Zhou Yunmei yet still afraid to go up, voiced her suspicions, "Second Brother, did you do something wrong to Big Brother and Sister-in-law? Otherwise, why would Big Brother be so heartless."

"I..." If it was just harming Fang Pingying, Luo Zhiming might have admitted it, but last time he harmed the grandson Zhou Yunmei cherished most. He knew if he confessed, Zhou Yunmei might beat him to death even before Luo Zhiyong needed to say anything.

He immediately shook his head, "No, I didn't do anything."

Zhou Yunmei, not suspecting anything else, grabbed Luo Zhiming, and said determinedly, "That settles it then. Since you haven't done anything, just go upstairs and stay, when your elder brother returns, I'll reason with him."

"I won't go, Big Brother told me not to. I'll stay at the guest house, otherwise when Big Brother returns he will deal with me." After saying this, Luo Zhiming turned around and asked Luo Honglan for money, "Honglan, give me some money. I'll stay at the guest house." (To be continued.
