Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 596 - 591: Almost a Fatal Incident

Zhou Yunmei and Xu He were so infuriated by Fang Pingying’s words that they gritted their teeth and were tempted to rush up and tear Fang Pingying’s mouth apart, but before they could make a move, Luo Zhiming completely lost his temper.

He stepped forward and slapped both Zhou Yunmei and Xu He, cursing fiercely, "You two despicable beasts who deserve to die."

Zhou Yunmei was stunned by Luo Zhiming’s slap, and it took her a long moment to recover. She never expected her son to strike her.

But at this moment, Luo Zhiming was already frenzied, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Zhou Yunmei and Xu He, muttering under his breath, though no one could clearly hear what he was saying.

In the end, Luo Zhiming, in a fit of rage, smashed several chairs in the courtyard and shouted at Zhou Yunmei and Xu He, "It’s over, I can’t live like this anymore, I’ll get a divorce tomorrow."

Xu He, having been slapped, was also in a bad mood. Relying on the fact that she was pregnant, she wasn’t afraid Luo Zhiming would really divorce her. She also started yelling back at Luo Zhiming, "Why are you shouting, do you think I want to be humiliated? It’s me who is suffering here, if you weren’t impotent, if you didn’t owe others money, would they have come after me? I’m paying your debts, and you still have the face to accuse me?"

Luo Zhiming’s emotions spiraled further out of control when he heard Xu He’s words. He rushed over and grabbed Xu He by the neck and shouted fiercely, "You whore..."

At this moment, Luo Zhiming had lost all reason, his grip around Xu He’s neck tightening, and it was clear she was struggling to breathe, her face turning red. If this went on for a few more minutes, she might have suffocated.

Whether Xu He lived or died didn’t concern many, but Luo Zhiming, being Luo Dashan’s son and Luo Zhiyong’s brother, they couldn’t just watch him kill someone in front of them. Luo Dashan immediately shouted, "Zhiyong, stop Zhiming, don’t let him commit murder."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyong stepped forward, stopped Luo Zhiming, and shouted, "Luo Zhiming, stop! We can talk about your issues later, if it’s passable, you pass; if not, then get a divorce."

Once Xu He was let go, she immediately ran into the house and locked the door, never having imagined Luo Zhiming would get so angry.

With Xu He gone, Luo Zhiming calmed down somewhat and retreated to a corner of the courtyard.

With Luo Zhiming temporarily left aside, Luo Dashan turned his attention to Zhou Yunmei and said, "Let’s talk about your and your mother’s matter first."

This snapped Zhou Yunmei to her senses, but her heart jumped at Luo Dashan’s words, and she stammered, "What... could be the matter between us."

Luo Dashan looked at her with a faint expression, "You know very well what you’ve done, and I know everything too, there’s no need for me to list them out."

"I... old man..." At this point, Zhou Yunmei could only admit her wrongdoing. She walked up to Luo Dashan, knelt beside his legs, grabbed his hands, and for the first time, sincerely admitted her fault, "I’m sorry, I know I was wrong, but I had my reasons, listen to me..."

Luo Dashan didn’t let her finish and pushed her hand away sharply, frowning at her, "You had your reasons, so you wanted to kill me?"

Zhou Yunmei quickly explained, "No, old man, it wasn’t on purpose. I didn’t know the laxative would harm you like this. I originally thought about not doing it, but Xu He grabbed it and poured it in."

Luo Dashan shook his head, not believing a word, "Don’t say it was Xu He’s doing. If you didn’t have the intention, no matter how much she influenced you, you wouldn’t have done it, and there have been many things before that she didn’t influence, yet you did them anyway."

"I..." Zhou Yunmei was lost for words and also frightened. In the past, whenever she made mistakes, Luo Dashan might beat her in extreme anger, and after beating her, he would feel guilty and soon forgive her after she spoke some nice words.

But this time, Luo Dashan didn’t seem just angry, but the words he spoke and the icy look in his eyes made her even more afraid.

With resolution, she suddenly knelt in front of Luo Dashan with a thud and started crying, "Old man, don’t be like this. If you’re not appeased, just beat me like before."

Luo Dashan shook his head, his expression still mild, "Zhou Yunmei, I won’t hit you this time. Tell me, how many times have I hit you over the years, have you changed at all?"

Zhou Yunmei truly didn’t know what to say, so she just cried silently for a while, then knelt and pleaded with Luo Dashan, "Old man, regardless, as long as you forgive me, I will absolutely never make a mistake again, I swear to you."

"If swearing were useful, you wouldn’t know how many times you’d have died by now." In the past, whenever Zhou Yunmei cried and made a scene, Luo Dashan always felt uncomfortable, sometimes even pitying, thinking he wasn’t capable enough to provide a good life for his wife.

But this time, no matter how sorrowful Zhou Yunmei’s crying was, whenever Luo Dashan thought about her poisoning him, his heart turned cold, and he couldn’t possibly continue living with her.

He stood up, sighed, and said to Zhou Yunmei, "That’s it, let’s do what you said before you left home, you said what you’d do if you caused trouble with Zhiyong and Pingying again."

"Old man, you..." Zhou Yunmei of course remembered her own words. Before leaving home, she had said that if she caused trouble again, she would allow Luo Dashan to kick her out.

Seeing that Zhou Yunmei was at a loss for words, Luo Dashan pointed inside the house and sharply commanded, "Go pack up your things. From today, get out of the Luo family, whether you live in wealth or poverty, it’s none of our family’s business."

"I..."

Zhou Yunmei cried, reaching out to grasp Luo Dashan, but he angrily kicked her away, "Go pack up."

Although Luo Dashan had just recovered from a severe illness and appeared okay on the surface, the anger in his heart, combined with his physical weakness, made it difficult for him to catch his breath just from kicking.

Luo Honglan saw this and immediately stepped forward to support Luo Dashan, "Dad, don’t get angry, take care of your health."

Seeing Luo Honglan nearby, Zhou Yunmei grabbed her hand, pleading, "Honglan, help me beg your dad, don’t drive me away, I’m already at this age, if I leave the Luo family, where can I go?"

Luo Honglan, looking at Zhou Yunmei kneeling on the ground, crying tears streaming down her face, felt somewhat soft-hearted but remembering the excessive things Zhou Yunmei had done over the years, she finally shook off her hand and did not address her plea.
