Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 592 - 587: Zhou Yunmei Returns

Zhiyong and Zhiming went out to buy some things, as Dashan needed to stay in the hospital for a while and there were still necessities to be purchased.

Pingying and Luo Honglan were chatting when suddenly, noises came from outside the ward. The sounds were familiar to Pingying.

As the noises drew closer, Pingying recognized that it seemed to be Zhou Yunmei shouting outside.

It was obvious that Luo Honglan and Dashan in the same ward also heard it. Luo Honglan panicked slightly, looking at Pingying, then at Dashan. She worried that if the commotion escalated, Dashan’s health might not withstand it.

Since Dashan had woken up, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning anything about the home situation, unanimously saying Xu He and Zhou Yunmei had gone back to fetch some items and needed to sort things out at home, and would soon arrive.

Dashan did not ask further questions, but it didn’t mean he knew nothing.

When he heard the noises, his smile paused noticeably, then he waved to Luo Honglan calmly and said, "It’s your mom returning, go call her in. She probably can’t find us, there are many wards in this county hospital."

"Dad, you..." Luo Honglan was truly unwilling. Although she temporarily didn’t want Dashan to know about the messy affairs, pretending as if nothing had happened was something she couldn’t do.

Dashan had fallen so ill this time, and these past few days, everyone had been constantly worried; none had eaten a proper meal or had a good night’s sleep, including the little ones, Ruirui and Yaoyao. Why should Zhou Yunmei and Xu He, the main culprits, have a comfortable life in the city, and now upon their return, Dashan still treated them so well?

Dashan looked at Luo Honglan, managed a weak smile, and said, "Listen to me, your dad knows what he’s doing, we’ll talk about it when we get home."

Luo Honglan hesitated and glanced at Pingying.

Pingying looked at the other people in the ward and nodded to Luo Honglan, signaling her to go.

Pingying also roughly knew what Dashan was concerned about. Dashan was now in a general ward with four beds altogether, all occupied. Even if there were to be a commotion, it couldn’t occur in the hospital.

Indeed, Pingying had noticed that even if Dashan did not know about Zhou Yunmei’s trip to the city for borrowing seeds, he was certainly aware of the laxative incident, especially since he had asked why Zhou Yunmei didn’t return with them on that day.

Although they had fooled him at that time, Dashan had been awake and hadn’t seen Zhou Yunmei since then, and he had his suspicions.

He had been silent probably because he had his own plans and clearly, he didn’t intend to cause a scene in the hospital.

After a while, Luo Honglan brought Zhou Yunmei and Xu He into the ward.

The first thing Zhou Yunmei did upon entering was not to look at Dashan on the bed, but her eyes immediately fixed on Pingying standing at the foot of Dashan’s bed.

Her face immediately twisted into a grimace, and then she charged furiously at Fang Pingying, gritting her teeth as she cursed, "You damn venomous woman, you actually got me thrown in jail for three days..."

Before she could finish, Zhou Yunmei suddenly paused. She glanced at Luo Dashan lying on the bed, saw that Luo Dashan had no significant reaction, and then lowered her voice to say to Fang Pingying, "You made me suffer like that, I will not let you off."

Fang Pingying had long anticipated that Zhou Yunmei would blame her for being detained, so she was prepared when she heard Zhou Yunmei’s voice.

As Zhou Yunmei charged at her, Fang Pingying blocked her body with her hand and whispered, "If you are not afraid of the villagers and Yaoyao’s grandfather knowing about you being in jail, continue making a scene, better make it a big one."

"You..." Zhou Yunmei was indeed afraid of that, so she had already discussed with Xu He on the way back to keep quiet about everything, but seeing Fang Pingying in the hospital room, she lost control over her emotions.

Seeing that Zhou Yunmei was still gritting her teeth and unwilling to let go, Fang Pingying frowned, her expression extremely serious, "If you dare start a fight in the hospital, I will go back to Luojia Village and publicize the fact that you spent three days in jail, and also..."

Fang Pingying glanced at Xu He, raising her eyebrows with a smile.

Zhou Yunmei was impulsive, but Xu He was not; she knew Fang Pingying’s implication, having plenty of her own dark secrets.

So, she immediately stepped forward, pulling Zhou Yunmei aside and whispered, "Mom, stop making a scene. We didn’t even eat breakfast this morning and rushed here, not to argue but to see Dad, let’s go check on him first."

After speaking, Xu He whispered into Zhou Yunmei’s ear, "Besides, it seems dad still doesn’t know about our situation in the provincial city, don’t expose us."

It seemed that only then did Zhou Yunmei recall such an incident; she immediately turned to look at Luo Dashan.

It must be said, if Zhou Yunmei were in the entertainment industry, she would certainly be a top actress. She had just been gritting her teeth quarreling with Fang Pingying, but the next moment, as she turned to look at Luo Dashan, she suddenly became utterly heartbroken.

Tears incessantly dropped from her eyes while her actions were very much in sync; from afar, she rushed straight to the bedside, wailing grievously, "Old man, what on earth happened to you, how is it that you were suddenly issued a critical condition notice? I just came back yesterday, and after hearing from the second brother’s family, I couldn’t sleep all night, rushing here first thing in the morning."

However, before Luo Dashan could speak, Luo Zhiyong returned from buying stuff outside, followed by Luo Zhiming.

The first thing Luo Zhiming noticed was Xu He standing behind Zhou Yunmei. Xu He was dressed in a brand-new woolen coat, looking very stylish, causing Luo Zhiming’s gaze to flicker, but he didn’t speak or immediately walk over, still standing behind Luo Zhiyong,

But at the doorway, when Luo Zhiyong saw Zhou Yunmei, his anger surged immediately, but as everyone in the hospital room was glaring at Zhou Yunmei’s commotion, Luo Zhiyong didn’t want to further embarrass himself.

He clenched his teeth and suppressed his anger, walking over just to coldly say to Zhou Yunmei, "If you were really that heartbroken, you wouldn’t have done what you did back then."

Seeing Luo Zhiyong reminded Zhou Yunmei of her long stay at the Police Station, and with Luo Zhiyong ignoring her, her anger surged. She jumped in front of Luo Zhiyong, pointing at him and cursed, "Luo Zhiyong, you unfilial thing, for such a woman like Fang Pingying, now you don’t even recognize your own parents, we shouldn’t have raised such an ingrate like you."

Luo Zhiyong looked at her with a cold laugh, stepped back, and spoke in a distant tone, "That’s for the best, just consider that you raised an ingrate then, I won’t recognize you in the future, take care of yourself."
