Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 508 - 503: Regret Not Getting Divorced

Zhou Yunmei was slightly taken aback, then shot Fang Pingying a glare, "It’s none of your business."

Pausing for a moment, she asked Fang Pingying accusatorily, "I want to ask you, was it you who said that if Zhiming doesn’t pay back that two thousand yuan, you would let the loan sharks come after us, and that you wouldn’t care how they treat us?"

Fang Pingying had indeed said that and admitted it directly, "That’s right, I did say that."

Zhou Yunmei hadn’t expected her to admit so readily. She choked on her words, then cursed angrily, "Do you even have a conscience? After all, we are family."

Fang Pingying didn’t want to argue with her in such a setting and asked impatiently, "Just tell me what you’re here for."

It was clear from Fang Pingying’s attitude that she wasn’t going to give any money. Zhou Yunmei couldn’t ask directly, so she beat around the bush, "After all, Zhiming is your brother. You can’t just watch him get into trouble."

Fang Pingying tugged at her lip with a smirk, "Sorry, I only have one sister. I have no brother."

Zhou Yunmei was utterly furious and speechless. She pointed at Fang Pingying, poking her finger toward Fang Pingying several times, but couldn’t find the words to continue, "You..."

Fang Pingying didn’t want to waste more time on her and stated bluntly, "If you’re here to ask for money for Luo Zhiming’s debts, you might as well give up that hope. I won’t contribute a single cent, otherwise, I wouldn’t have said those things before."

Hearing Fang Pingying speak with such determination, Zhou Yunmei decided to use the scheme she had thought of in advance.

She suddenly sat down on the ground and began to shout, "Help! Neighbors, everyone come and judge for yourselves, see how cruel and heartless my daughter-in-law is, my youngest son..."

Fang Pingying wasn’t surprised by Zhou Yunmei’s actions; crying and making a scene were her specialties. She glanced at her and said indifferently, "Keep shouting here. If you disturb the neighbors and end up being sent to a psychiatric hospital, Luo Zhiyong is going to have another headache."

After speaking, Fang Pingying called Fang Xiu to go upstairs, not bothering to deal with the situation, waiting instead for Luo Zhiyong to handle it.

But after hearing Fang Pingying’s words, Zhou Yunmei felt that something was off, quickly got up from the ground, grabbed Fang Pingying, and asked anxiously, "What about our family’s Zhiyong? Isn’t Zhiyong your man?"

Zhou Yunmei was slightly nervous because Luo Zhiyong had said something similar over the phone earlier, and she was very worried that something serious might have happened between the couple.

She might not like Fang Pingying, but she knew deep down that compared to Xu He, this daughter-in-law was far better. More importantly, this daughter-in-law could make money and provide a good life for them. If they were to divorce, she worried about what would happen to their future.

Fang Pingying didn’t hide the truth from her and said coldly, "Because I can’t tolerate having in-laws like you, Zhiyong and I are planning to get a divorce. Hasn’t he told you?"

"What, divorce?" Zhou Yunmei was startled and after a moment of shock, she stared at Fang Pingying in disbelief, "You dare to get a divorce?"

Fang Pingying sneered. What did this old lady mean by that? Did she truly believe Fang Pingying didn’t dare to divorce Luo Zhiyong, which was why she could be so arrogant?

Well, she was going to be disappointed because Fang Pingying really did intend to divorce.

Hearing Zhou Yunmei’s words, Fang Xiu also looked at her with an ironic smile, "What, have you never heard of people getting a divorce? Hasn’t Luo Zhiming been through one?"

"Mind your own business." Zhou Yunmei glared viciously at Fang Xiu, while also sizing her up.

The Fang Xiu now is truly a different person compared to before.

Previously, although Fang Xiu liked to dress up and was often praised for her beauty in the countryside, she was always just a country girl.

But now, Fang Xiu, dressed simply in a white shirt and lantern pants with her hair tied into a high ponytail, looks so pure that no one would think she’s a mother.

It seems that after the divorce, she’s been doing quite well.

On the contrary, Luo Zhiming, after the divorce, has aged what seems like ten years due to the pressure, appearing unmistakably like a country person at first glance.

Looking at Fang Xiu, she couldn’t help but say with a hint of spite, "Don’t think you’re something special just because you’re clinging to your sister now."

Fang Xiu lightly curls her lips and replies, "Nothing special, but my older sister has divorced Luo Zhiyong, which means she’ll have no more dealings with the Luo Family. Please don’t bring every little problem to my sister in the future."

Zhou Yunmei frowns and, with a sudden gesture, extends her hand to Fang Pingying, "You think I’ll believe you just because you say so? If you’re divorced, show me the divorce certificate."

Without any proceedings, naturally, there’s no divorce certificate, so Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu stand still without moving.

Seeing this, Zhou Yunmei knows they are not divorced and smugly says, "You think I don’t understand your game? You’re just pretending to be divorced because you don’t want to pay back Zhiming."

After a pause, she seems to recall something, suddenly pointing at Fang Pingying and clicking her tongue a few times, exclaiming, "Fang Pingying, I truly didn’t see it coming. You could come up with such an idea just for some money; you are really crossing the line."

At this moment, Fang Pingying truly regrets not having processed the divorce with Luo Zhiyong earlier; otherwise, she would’ve slammed the divorce certificate in Zhou Yunmei’s face to see if she could still make a scene.

But since there was no divorce certificate previously, she was too lazy to argue about the divorce with her and said to Zhou Yunmei, "Wait for Luo Zhiyong to come, and then you ask him."

After that, she calls out to Fang Xiu, "Xiu’er, let’s go upstairs."

They had taken only a few steps toward the staircase when they saw Zhou Yunmei following behind them. Fang Xiu frowns and asks, "Why are you following us?"

Zhou Yunmei replies annoyedly, "No matter what, I am still Zhiyong’s mother, and it’s surely fine for me to visit my grandchildren at your place."

Fang Xiu blocks her way, not allowing her in.

However, Fang Ping lets her go, tacitly allowing her to visit Yaoyao and Ruirui.

She had promised Luo Zhiyong that no matter whether they divorced or not, she would not stop his family members from seeing the children,

But Fang Pingying also knows that Zhou Yunmei’s claim of visiting the children is just an excuse; she must be planning to create some trouble once inside. Therefore, at the doorway, Fang Pingying holds her back and gives her a preemptive warning, "Once you enter, I hope you really come to see Ruirui and Yaoyao. Even if you don’t, I expect you to not make a scene, just wait for Zhiyong to arrive and clarify everything. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being unkind."

"Hmph," Zhou Yunmei utters without a word, signaling she agrees.

Fang Pingying then lets her in, but it seems as if she’s deliberately opposing Fang Pingying. Ignoring that Luo Honglan is in the living room playing with Ruirui and Yaoyao, as soon as she enters, she sits down on the ground and suddenly shouts out loud.
