Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Luo Cuilan is actually not a lazy person when she really gets down to work. This is the first time she has the chance to earn her own money, and she is quite satisfied with that.

Luo Zhiyong took her to see the place, and she immediately agreed to stay there to work. She even offered to live in the dormitory, saying that it would save some time and allow her to earn more money.

That was exactly what Luo Zhiyong had in mind, so he agreed.

After settling her in the factory, it happened that Luo Zhiming and Zhou Yunmei had returned, so Luo Zhiyong called Fang Pingying and told her to bring her three children back.

Fang Pingying had already prepared her things and was ready to come back at any time.

Luo Honglan was thrilled to know that her niece and nephew were coming back, so she handed the shop over to Yu'er and went back home to clean the house thoroughly.

Zhou Yunmei and Luo Cuilan, living here, were just like in the countryside and did not like to tidy up the house. Things were scattered around; items that should have been in the kitchen were brought to the living room, and things from the living room were brought to the bedroom. Clothes and other things were thrown everywhere, making the house a complete mess.

When they were here, Luo Honglan would bring it up, and the two would point fingers, saying that Luo Honglan had picked up Fang Pingying's ways, accusing her of forgetting her roots and becoming fussy and pretentious after moving to the city.

Furthermore, they deliberately made the house messy when they saw Luo Honglan tidying up, as if to spite her on purpose.

Luo Honglan was an honest and timid person who did not want to be badmouthed by them, so she let them be and didn't bother tidying up specifically.

But knowing Fang Pingying would be unhappy to see the house like this upon her return, she hurried to get it cleaned up.

Since it was the weekend, Luo Zhiyong specially called for Chen Jie's car to pick up Fang Pingying and her three children.

Fang Pingying was overjoyed when she received Luo Zhiyong's call at home and immediately asked Li Aihua to help pack her belongings.

Li Aihua, not wanting to part with her daughter and grandchildren, instructed Sister-in-law Zhou to pack up and go back with Fang Pingying, while she hugged Yaoyao, kissing and nuzzling her and said to Fang Pingying with a look of false annoyance, "Why do you want to go back? Isn't it nice to live with us? My house is spacious and everything."

"Mom, I have my own home, I can't just live here forever." Fang Pingying wrapped an arm around Li Aihua's and chuckled, "It's not far anyway. You can come visit them at my place every day."

Li Aihua gave her a look and pouted, "Forget it, forget it, I can't be bothered to argue. In the end, a husband is dearer than a mother, aren't you just itching to get back? Thinking we're in your way."

"Mom." Fang Pingying drew out the word 'mom' in a prolonged call, her speech brimming with the coquettish tone of a daughter towards her mother.

Fang Pingying now, although the in-laws' side is full of messy affairs, and sometimes she feels stifled, at her maternal home, everything is just perfect.

At Li Aihua's home, Li Aihua already felt guilty for not treating Fang Pingying well, compounded with having such adorable grandchildren, she was eager to give them all the good things she could.

Between people, as long as there is a sincere relationship, even if they are strangers, they can quickly become close. And it's even easier for them as mother and daughter.

Now, Fang Pingying and Li Aihua are living together like a pair of mother and daughter who have never been apart, getting along very well.

Furthermore, with Li Aihua's help, Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun have settled down in the city and are treating Fang Pingying much better than they did back in the countryside.

They never treated Fang Pingying as an adopted daughter; they treated her just like Fang Xiu. There, Fang Pingying could feel the warmth of her family home.

Therefore, the current Fang Pingying was very content. She had a man who cherished her, adorable children, and relatives who were very kind to her.

Li Aihua smiled as she glanced at Fang Pingying, straightened her clothes, and softly admonished, "After you return, don't take on everything by yourself like before, both housekeeping and outside work. If you can't manage, let Zhiyong help a bit. Otherwise, what's the point of getting married..."

"I know." Fang Pingying subconsciously defended Luo Zhiyong, "Zhiyong's job reassignment is almost settled and should be done soon. Once that happens, he'll be home every day, and I definitely won't have it so hard."

"Ah, I won't say more; being a military wife is like that." Li Aihua sighed helplessly, "Men don't make much money and put all their energy into the military, neglecting household matters. Your Uncle Zhao is the same; I'm used to it."

As they were talking, there came a knock from outside. Li Aihua stood up to open the door.

Seeing Luo Zhiyong and Xiao Chen standing outside, Li Aihua smiled and invited them in.

This was Li Aihua's first time meeting Chen Jie. She looked at him and asked Luo Zhiyong, "This young man must be from your unit; he looks very smart."

Fang Pingying followed Li Aihua out and, upon seeing Chen Jie, smiled and introduced him to Li Aihua, "Mom, this is Hong Lan's boyfriend."

Chen Jie, a bit shy, gave a timid smile and greeted Fang Pingying and Li Aihua, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello, auntie."

"The young man is quite sweet-talker." Hearing he was Luo Honglan's boyfriend, Li Aihua took a good look at Chen Jie and feeling that he was a fine young man, smiled and said to him, "You have to be good to my Hong Lan. She's a very honest girl, and you're lucky to have her as your wife."

Chen Jie quickly replied, "Auntie is right."

After a bit more conversation, Luo Zhiyong and Chen Jie helped Fang Pingying move her things to the car.

Having lived here for several months, adding to that the children's items, they indeed had quite a lot of stuff, crowding the car to the brim.

Since they stayed at Li Aihua's place for a while, when they reached home, it was almost nightfall, and the sky was nearly dark. Luo Zhiyong carried the two children, while Fang Pingying and Sister-in-law Zhou carried some clothes and things, with heavy items assisted by Chen Jie.

Luo Honglan had just finished cleaning when she heard the sound of someone unlocking the door and guessed it was Fang Pingying and others returning; she happily skipped over to greet them.

Seeing Luo Zhiyong standing at the door holding Ruirui and Yaoyao, she exclaimed with a smile and reached out to take Ruirui and Yaoyao, "My dear nephew and niece are finally back, auntie has missed you so much."

As soon as she saw Chen Jie at the back, her face flushed, and she fell silent.

Chen Jie hadn't seen Luo Honglan for a long time. He stared straight at her with a smile on his lips, making Luo Honglan's heart flutter. She immediately looked down and clamored to hold Ruirui and Yaoyao, as if to cover up her fluster.

Fang Pingying watched the young couple's glances, chuckled softly, and said nothing.

She looked around the house and seeing the home clean and tidy, starkly different from what she had seen on her last visit, realized that Luo Honglan was probably worried about her coming home and being unhappy, hence the tidying up.
