Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 516 - 511: Shameless Demands

Hearing about the divorce, Luo Dashan was startled, his face turned uglier, and he incredulously asked Luo Zhiyong, "Divorce? Zhiyong, is it really that serious, to the point of divorce?"

After speaking, he let go of Zhou Yunmei, whom he was holding, and hurriedly asked Luo Zhiyong, "Where is Pingying? Did she come back with you? Let me talk to her. Pingying is a reasonable and understanding girl; I’ll plead with her. Let’s talk it over nicely and not rush into divorce."

As soon as Zhou Yunmei was free, she ran away, keeping a distance from Luo Dashan, afraid of being hit again.

Luo Zhiyong glanced at Zhou Yunmei, a bit helplessly, and said to Luo Dashan, "Dad, even the most understanding person would probably go crazy coming to our family. Think about it, since Pingying married me, what has she done wrong? How has she treated you? On the other hand, has she ever had a peaceful day in our family?"

Luo Dashan nodded, he had always been extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

However, he still disagreed with the divorce, "I know, but we can’t talk about divorce so casually. You tell me where Pingying is, I’m going to plead with her to come back."

Luo Zhiyong patted Luo Dashan’s back, shaking his head, "Forget it, Dad, the reason I came back wasn’t to have you convince Pingying about the divorce. I just came to tell you that after the divorce, I’ll be single, my salary isn’t high, and I still have to support two kids. I’ll definitely also have to give Pingying some money; I might not be able to take care of everything at home like before. If there are places where I’m not fulfilling my filial duties in the future, you’ll have to make do."

Luo Dashan didn’t respond, and upon hearing these words from the side, Zhou Yunmei couldn’t withhold anymore and scolded Luo Zhiyong, "Why would you give Pingying money? Why give money to the kids? In my opinion, give nothing at all. The two kids should be brought back for me to raise. It’s Fang Pingying who wants the divorce, let her do whatever she wants. If the kids come back, she should be giving us money."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyong frowned in irritation.

Luo Dashan glared at Zhou Yunmei and barked, "You shut up, do you still have the face to talk? Today I really have to beat you to death."

Luo Dashan really intended to beat Zhou Yunmei as if to kill her, and raised his hand again to hit.

Fortunately, this time Zhou Yunmei dodged quickly. She ran into Luo Zhiming’s room, and then the three of them shut the door of that room.

Once Luo Dashan saw that there was no one else in the yard, he tried to dissuade Luo Zhiyong from divorce again.

Luo Zhiyong waved his hand at him, "Dad, don’t talk about it, we have already decided, persuading us further is useless."

Seeing his firm stance, Luo Dashan found it inappropriate to say more.

After a moment of silence, he asked worriedly, "Then what about the kids after the divorce?"

Luo Zhiyong, seeing that Luo Dashan was also concerned about the kids, thought Luo Dashan wanted to fight for custody too, and said with a frown, "The kids should definitely stay with Pingying. Do you really think like mom, wanting to fight with Pingying over the kids?"

"It’s not about fighting." Luo Dashan indeed hoped Luo Zhiyong would bring the kids back, but remembering Fang Pingying’s side, he hesitated and muttered, "But the kids are after all from our Luo family, I haven’t even seen them yet..."

"Dad, even if the kids stay with Pingying, they are still part of our Luo family. They are still my sons, and your grandsons. You shouldn’t think like mom, planning to snatch the kids." Luo Zhiyong spoke and sighed softly, murmuring, "Having these two kids is Pingying’s life. She has been married to me for so long, I’ve already not been able to do much for her. If we divorce and I still fight with her over the kids, am I still human?"

"This..." Luo Dashan said, "I also know, I just thought, what if Fang Pingying finds someone else in the future, can they treat the two kids well? If we bring them back, we will definitely not mistreat them."

Luo Zhiyong immediately shook his head when he heard this, "No, she won’t find someone else."

"What?" Luo Dashan found Luo Zhiyong’s response odd and pressed for an answer.

Luo Zhiyong wouldn’t disclose these matters to Luo Dashan, and simply said, "We’ll talk about it if that time comes. Right now, the kids are well taken care of by her, and even when we were not separated, the kids were always looked after by her and Hong Lan. Hong Lan is still at home, nothing has changed, and I will visit the kids during my days off. You don’t need to worry."

Hearing this, Luo Dashan didn’t protest further, "Alright then, I trust Pingying’s character, I’m not worried."

Luo Zhiyong and Luo Dashan talked for a while, and late into the night, Luo Zhiyong also went back to his room to sleep.

Luo Dashan sat alone in the yard for a long time, thinking of the recent events in the house, he really had no face to speak.

Although it wasn’t directly his fault, as the head of the family, allowing the family to come to such a state, the biggest responsibility was his.

If he had been like today earlier on, seeing Zhou Yunmei’s wrongdoings, he should have suppressed Zhou Yunmei’s arrogance in time, it wouldn’t have escalated to this extent.

It seems that in the future, he can no longer allow Zhou Yunmei to mess around in the house.

The next morning, Luo Zhiyong got up early. After washing up, he didn’t eat breakfast at home and was about to leave directly.

Just then, Zhou Yun came out from Luo Honglan’s room. Zhou Yunmei had been afraid of being beaten by Luo Dashan the previous night and didn’t dare to go back to her own room to sleep. After Luo Dashan went back to his room, she sneaked to Luo Honglan’s room to sleep.

She heard some noise in the yard just now and peeked outside, seeing only Luo Zhiyong in the courtyard, so she hurried out and grabbed Luo Zhiyong saying, "Zhiyong, are you off to get a divorce?"

Luo Zhiyong nodded expressionlessly, "Yes."

Knowing at this point that she couldn’t stop the divorce, Zhou Yunmei thought for a long time last night and came up with two very shameless demands, "If you really must divorce, make Fang Pingying agree to our two conditions."

"First, compensate us with five thousand yuan for our losses. Second, split the kids; one stays with each family. We’ll take Ruirui, give Yaoyao to them."

Luo Zhiyong was amused by her utterly unreasonable words, "Why should she compensate us five thousand yuan for our losses? What have we lost?"

"You got married to her, now you’re getting divorced, you’re a second-marriage candidate, it definitely won’t be easy to find someone else in the future, of course, there’s a loss." Zhou Yunmei spoke righteously with her reasoning, which had no logic, "If she doesn’t compensate, then we won’t divorce. We’ll take her to court."

Luo Zhiyong couldn’t bear it any longer and shouted at her, "Then go sue, if the court imposes compensation on our family, then you pay out of your pocket, I’m not dealing with it."

He paused, then Luo Zhiyong added, "You should know, outside when they divorce, there are no women compensating men, it’s always men compensating women."

Hearing this, Zhou Yunmei got scared, and hurriedly changed her tune, "If there isn’t that much money, we can make do with less. Just give Ruirui to our family, he’s our grandson."
