Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Luo Zhiming immediately felt unhappy upon hearing this and stared at Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, what are you saying? Didn't you just agree with me yesterday, promising that if Xu He is willing, it would be settled?"

"You naive boy, if she really wanted to marry you, I naturally wouldn't oppose it." Zhou Yunmei explained to Luo Zhiming about what had just happened, and then continued,

"The problem is, she simply looks down on you, has no feelings for you at all. Even if you get married in the future, she will still look down on you. Plus, with your current health, I think even if Xu He enters the Luo Family, you might not be able to keep her. Sooner or later, she will do the same as Fang Xiu, and cheat on you..."

"Mom, stop it, Xu He is not the same as Fang Xiu." Zhou Yunmei hadn't finished speaking when Luo Zhiming interrupted her, "Besides, I really like Xu He, I want to marry her."

"You foolish child..." Zhou Yunmei became furious, about to scold him, but remembering what had happened to Luo Zhiming before, she suddenly stopped herself, not daring to provoke him.

"Mom, help me figure out a way, I want to marry Xu He." Luo Zhiming was quite cunning when dealing with his family. Seeing that Zhou Yunmei was fearful he might attempt suicide again, he deliberately added, "Otherwise, there's no point in me living."

"You..." Zhou Yunmei was so angry she gritted her teeth, wishing she could smack this foolish child; she even raised her hand.

Luo Zhiming did not stop Zhou Yunmei's hand, just kept looking at her, adopting a somewhat sulky demeanor, "Mom, you know about my health. If it blows up later, no one else will be willing to marry me. I at least have feelings for Xu He, with someone else, it might be even worse than her."

"If you really think so, then just wait." As the mother of her child, Zhou Yunmei felt helpless and eventually said, "Today, I spoke with Xu He, told her to pay one thousand yuan. I'm guessing she won't be able to afford it, so marrying you might be her only option."

"This..." Luo Zhiming felt it was wrong, afraid that even if Xu He agreed under duress, it wouldn't be meaningful.

Zhou Yunmei calmly said, "She doesn't want to marry you at all. Other than using money to force her, I don't know what else to do."

"Alright then, let's leave it at that." Luo Zhiming felt he had no other choice.

"Let's go back, we'll come over in a few days to hear what she says."

Due to Luo Zhiming's attempt at suicide, Zhou Yunmei didn't dare to provoke him too much, but deep inside she still disagreed with him being together with Xu He.

Though she had liked Xu He before, she wasn't particularly opposed to Luo Zhiming and Xu He being together, always feeling that given Luo Zhiming's current situation, Xu He actually suited him quite well.

But just now, after hearing her conversation with Xu He, seeing how Xu He extremely scorned Luo Zhiming, she thought Xu He was not a good person. If Luo Zhiming got involved with Xu He, he would be the one suffering later.

So after she and Luo Zhiming returned to the guesthouse, she took the opportunity to say she was going to cook in Luo Zhiyong's room, but in reality, she wanted to discuss these matters with Luo Zhiyong.

She knew today was a weekend, and Luo Zhiyong would definitely come over, as since she had arrived here, Luo Zhiyong had been visiting her every week, providing her with living expenses and sometimes bringing some gifts.

Moreover, Zhou Yunmei had a suspicion why Luo Zhiyong was so harsh towards Luo Zhiming this time; she had a bad feeling about it. Every time she asked Luo Zhiming, he always evaded and refused to discuss it.

It happened to be a coincidence, when she got back home, Luo Zhiyong was already there.

Apparently, he found out about Luo Zhiming's situation from Luo Cuilan, and when Luo Zhiyong saw Zhou Yunmei, his face looked rather unpleasant. "Mom, where have you been?"

"At the hostel." Mentioning this, Zhou Yunmei looked annoyed, "You wouldn't let Zhiming stay here, and I was worried about him, so I stayed with him at the hostel."

Luo Zhiyong, hearing the anger in Zhou Yunmei's tone, also felt very displeased, "He's such a grown man and you still can't stop worrying. You'll never be at ease in this lifetime."

Zhou Yunmei, realizing that Luo Zhiyong really had the bias against Luo Zhiming as Luo Honglan mentioned, frowned and asked, "Zhiyong, I want to know why you don't care about your brother's matters. He's almost driven to death, and you know it but still do nothing. What's the meaning of this?"

Luo Zhiming frowned at her. "Didn't you ask Luo Zhiming?"

Zhou Yunmei was taken aback and after hesitating for a moment, spoke up, "I asked, he said he hasn't done anything wrong to you, it's just that your heart is too harsh."

"Mom, since Luo Zhiming is so shameless, then I'll tell you the truth." Luo Zhiyong's eyes turned icy cold, "Last time when you and dad came back from the provincial city, didn't you bring some food to Pingying's store, claiming it was for us?"

Zhou Yunmei remembered the incident well and nodded, "Yes, we brought quite a bit, I particularly remember bringing some porridge for Pingying."

Luo Zhiyong gave a mocking smile, then asked Zhou Yunmei, "Just tell me the truth, was the food you brought last time bought with your own money?"

"No, it was bought by Zhiming." Zhou Yunmei pursed her lips and told the truth, "I wouldn't want to spend so much money on food from outside."

"That's right then." Luo Zhiyong laughed coldly, "The food Luo Zhiming brought last time had a problem, especially the porridge. It had crabs, which are harmful to pregnant women, Pingying almost had a miscarriage after eating it. If we hadn't rushed her to the hospital in time, your so-called grandson would now be just a pool of blood."

Zhou Yunmei was stunned for quite a while before asking, "What do you mean?"

"It means that Luo Zhiming intended to harm Pingying last time, though he didn't succeed." Luo Zhiyong made his meaning clear, "And he specifically made use of you to make sure he could harm Pingying."

Zhou Yunmei recalled Luo Zhiming instructing them to deliver the food last time, now thinking back, it indeed seemed inappropriate.

But she couldn't figure out the underlying motives, "Why would he want to harm you?"

"I don't know." Luo Zhiyong frowned, "Maybe he was influenced by Xu He."

Now Zhou Yunmei was even more confused, "Why would Xu He want to harm you?"

"That woman has some abnormalities, who knows why she does it." Luo Zhiyong didn't elaborate on the reasons, only saying, "But what's certain is, the person who acted was Luo Zhiming. Whether he was instructed by someone behind the scenes, I'm not too sure. Maybe Luo Zhiming's thoughts have suddenly become so malicious."

"It must be Xu He's instigation, Zhiming wouldn't be so malicious." Hearing this, Zhou Yunmei immediately pushed all accusations towards Xu He, "Moreover, that vile woman is not only malicious to you but to Zhiming too. Initially, when she saw Zhiming had some money, she was happy to be together with him, sharing everything, but now that Zhiming has spent all his money, she just kicked him away." (To be continued.
