Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Fang Pingying felt that Luo Cuilan might have her eye on her shop, so she probed Luo Zhiyong, "Luo Cuilan hasn't mentioned wanting to work in my shop, has she?"

Luo Zhiyong frowned, "Just ignore her."

Fang Pingying sneered with a smile, looking at Luo Zhiyong, "It seems like she really has mentioned it then."

Luo Zhiyong glanced at Fang Pingying and nodded in admission, "She did mention it, but I scolded her and sent her packing. If she comes to you, just refuse her."

"Alright." Fang Pingying had no intention of considering letting Luo Cuilan come to work at her shop and couldn't be bothered to discuss further. She stood up and started to tidy up, "I'll prepare to pack up these next few days and head back home soon."

As Fang Pingying was packing, Luo Zhiyong leaned half on the bed, feigning sleep, both casually chatting.

In the sweltering heat, Fang Pingying was walking around the room wearing only a thin, short-sleeved shirt, frequently bending over to pack things or reaching up, which revealed half of her waist or a glimpse of her snowy white chest - a real challenge to Luo Zhiyong's self-control.

Watching her bustle about made his whole body start to heat up, and in a hoarse voice he called out, "Wife, come here."

Fang Pingying, catching a glimpse of his expression, roughly knew what he wanted and glared at him with her face flushing, "What for."

Luo Zhiyong winked at her, "Come here."

Fang Pingying's face reddened as she walked towards Luo Zhiyong, but before she could reach him, he pulled her over.

Luo Zhiyong flipped over, pinning her beneath him, his dark eyes intently staring at her.

Seeing the flames in his eyes, and with their bodies intimately pressed together, Fang Pingying naturally felt the changes in Luo Zhiyong's body.

Her cheeks immediately blushed as she playfully pushed him, "Stop messing around, mom and the others will be back with the kids soon."

Luo Zhiyong was confident today, "They won't be back, didn't you see mom deliberately took them out just now."

Just now, Li Aihua had intentionally taken everyone, including Luo Honglan, clearly giving the couple some space, so they surely wouldn't return.

"You…"

Fang Pingying was cut off before she could finish when Luo Zhiyong kissed her lips, then whispered in her ear, "Wife, I've missed you so much, it's been a whole year..."

"You..."

Fang Pingying tried to speak, but Luo Zhiyong's lips fiercely captured hers; his hands roamed from top to bottom over every part of Fang Pingying's body.

Ever since Fang Pingying had given birth, she had devoted all her energy to the two children, and it had been a considerable time since she and her husband had been together.

Add to that Luo Zhiyong's limited vacation time, his visits were usually weekends, often arriving Saturday morning and leaving in the afternoon. When he did come, the couple mostly talked about the children, and with both Li Aihua and Sister-in-law Zhou at home, it was always inconvenient for the couple.

The two indeed hadn't been together for quite some time, and Fang Pingying, feeling Luo Zhiyong's warmth, couldn't help but be moved and completely forgot whether this moment was appropriate or not.

After their passion faded, Luo Zhiyong held Fang Pingying in his arms and with a teasing smile whispered in her ear, "Once I get transferred to the downtown area, we won't have to go hungry anymore."

Fang Pingying didn't initially understand what he meant by 'hungry,' but after she got the implication, she blushed and gave him a look.

Having not been together for a long time, the couple inevitably got affectionate and clingy with each other for a while.

It wasn't until nearly half-past noon that Fang Pingying heard voices that seemed like Li Aihua's from outside the courtyard. She then pushed Luo Zhiyong up, and after they straightened out their clothes, they walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Luo Zhiyong stayed for a while, then seeing that it was getting late, he went back to his own home with Luo Honglan.

Originally, Luo Zhiyong did not plan to come over, but because Fang Pingying mentioned she might return to her own home in a couple of days. Although Fang Pingying did not say that she would immediately evict Luo Cuilan and Zhou Yunmei upon her return, she only asked Luo Zhiyong to handle it.

But Luo Zhiyong knew that neither Luo Cuilan nor Zhou Yunmei were easy to deal with, and if they were here, Fang Pingying definitely wouldn't feel at ease returning with the two children.

Dealing with Luo Cuilan was easy; he could simply find her a job that provided food and accommodation, and she would move out immediately.

Zhou Yunmei was a different case; after all, she was his biological mother and Luo Zhiyong definitely couldn't ask her to leave. However, he knew that Zhou Yunmei wasn't spending much time at home these days, always running to Luo Zhiming's hostel and sometimes even staying the night there.

Thinking about the hostel, Luo Zhiyong couldn't help but think of the money it required.

Although Luo Zhiyong didn't get involved with Luo Zhiming's recent matters, it was foreseeable that without his involvement, the rest of the family would not have contributed financially. Luo Zhiming surely had no money on him, there was no need to mention Luo Cuilan, and Zhou Yunmei was unlikely to be willing to spend over a yuan or so daily for Luo Zhiqing to stay in a hostel. That left only Luo Honglan with money.

Additionally, recalling the matter about borrowing money that Fang Pingying mentioned earlier, on the way Luo Zhiyong asked Luo Honglan, "Hong Lan, has your second brother asked you for money recently?"

"He asked for tens of dollars," Luo Honglan honestly replied, "He doesn't spend on anything else, but staying at a hostel always costs money."

Luo Zhiyong was left speechless by this naive girl, "How can you be so foolish? If he asks, you give it to him; if he stays in hostels forever, do you plan to support him for a lifetime?"

"I..." Luo Honglan also knew that it wasn't a solution, but if she didn't give money for the hostel, she feared that Luo Zhiming would move into Luo Zhiyong's house. She was worried that Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying wouldn't be happy, leading to family conflicts.

She was also aware that Luo Zhiming should return home after a while, so she thought it better to spend some money to avoid family quarrels.

"When I get a chance, I'll talk to Mom and ask her to take Zhiming back with her," Luo Zhiyong said helplessly after glancing at Luo Honglan, "If they refuse, just leave it be, and you must never again give money for your elder brother's hostel stays."

Luo Honglan had the same intention and nodded, "I know, I've already said that last time, and I don't have any money left now."

Hearing that she had been paying for Luo Zhiming's hostel, Luo Zhiyong felt even more certain about Fang Pingying's suspicions. Today Luo Honglan had asked for money not for her own use; he straight out asked her, "The money you asked Sister-in-law for today, was it actually for buying things for Xiao Chen?"

Luo Honglan bit her lip but still lied, "Yes, it was."

Luo Zhiyong glanced at her and retorted sharply, "Whether it's true or not, I can find out from Xiao Chen."

At that, Luo Honglan immediately admitted, "Big brother, actually, I was planning to lend the money to my elder sister. She needs money for medical treatment; the Zhang family isn't caring for her now. If she can't get well, how is she going to live in the future?"
