Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 623 - 618: Sleepless Night

Fang Pingying, seeing the situation, didn’t dwell on the matter any further, but continued to talk about the house, "Well, about the house, don’t bother thinking about buying it. Buying a house costs quite a bit of money. You’ve only made a little from the shop. Save it for when you might need it later. Tomorrow, I’ll have my mother transfer the house into my parents’ names."

When it came to transferring the ownership of the house to Fang Ping’an and Li Yuchun, Fang Pingying quietly explained to her, "I should make it clear to you, the reason the house isn’t being transferred to you but to my parents is because I have thought it through. When they get old, I plan to give the house directly to Haohao."

After a slight pause, Fang Pingying continued, "Zhou Guangsheng is a decent guy, but after all, he’s just an ordinary man and the salary of a soldier isn’t high. When you have children, you’ll have to consider their future, so the house will go to Haohao."

Indeed, right now Zhou Guangsheng, including Granny Zhou and the girls of the Zhou Family here, are all nice to Haohao and don’t treat him as if he were a child from another family. But if Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu have their own children in the future, there will certainly be a difference.

By that time, whatever belongs to their family will undoubtedly prioritize their own child, so Fang Pingying has to think about Haohao.

No matter how you put it, having a house in the future will lighten Haohao’s burden when he grows up, and there won’t be too much dispute within the Zhou Family.

In the past, when Fang Xiu hadn’t started earning money, Fang Pingying even thought that if the Zhou Family had complaints about raising the child, she could raise Haohao herself. After all, Haohao and Yaoyao often played together. Raising one more child wouldn’t be a burden for her.

Seeing Fang Pingying’s thoughtfulness for her Haohao moved Fang Xiu to the point where her eyes were red, "Big sister..."

The thing Fang Pingying dreaded most was facing such situations, which would throw her off balance. She smiled and patted Fang Xiu, saying with a smile, "Don’t be so touched. As the saying goes, sisters in this life, not necessarily in the next. I’ll help whatever I can. You and Guangsheng should live a good life together after this. Your mother-in-law might be formidable, but she is sensible and has a conscience. As long as you treat her well, she won’t treat you badly."

Fang Xiu thought about what Granny Zhou had been doing here lately and indeed, as Fang Pingying had said, Granny Zhou was a tough mother-in-law who could be quite unreasonable and ferocious at times, but she knew how to be grateful and accommodating.

Unintentionally, Fang Xiu compared her to Zhou Yunmei, "That’s true. Actually, when it comes down to it, there are very few mother-in-laws like Zhou Yunmei in the world, heartless and cold-blooded."

Speaking of the Luo Family, Fang Pingying felt an inexplicable irritation and frowned, "Let it be, from now on we truly have no relation to them. Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with us."

As far as the Luo Family was concerned, Luo Zhiyong’s affair might only be an episode for others, but for Fang Pingying, she had genuinely thought it over for an entire night.

Her mind was constantly guessing as to why Luo Zhiyong would let go so easily.

Was it because he was tired, vexed, and didn’t want to continue anymore?

Or had he met another woman during his time in the training camp, and fallen in love at first sight?

In short, there were many possibilities.

In any case, the fact was that the man really let go, and from then on, they would have no further intersections.

Although she felt an immense bitterness, as Fang Pingying said herself, she wouldn’t rely on anyone in matters of love. Let go and let it be, that’s how it will be from now on.

Originally, she was also planning to break it off and raise the child by herself. Now that he also has this intention, it’s just perfect.

She didn’t sleep well all night, and had to wake up early on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so Fang Pingying barely closed her eyes all night. When she saw daylight outside, she got up, washed her face, and went to wake up Fang Xiu.

Then, she went to wake up a few of the kids.

The little ones didn’t really understand what celebrating the New Year meant; they just knew that there were fun and tasty things, and that their mother wouldn’t scold them for being naughty during the festival. Last night, they were so happy that they went to sleep very late.

When Fang Pingying went to wake up the kids, they pouted and lazed in bed, refusing to get up. It was finally Zhao Longsheng and Li Aihua who came in to tease them, saying they would take them downstairs to light firecrackers, that got them to agree to get up.

After washing and dressing the kids in new clothes, which were handmade by Fang Pingying in the style of little Tang suits, made with a fabric resembling ancient silk, each of them dressed up looked round and chubby, like little tycoons from ancient times, extremely cute.

The little ones looked at each other, laughing heartily on the bed, eager to go out and show off their clothes to their friends who were playing downstairs.

Zhao Longsheng took the kids down to play, while Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu prepared sugar water and boiled eggs in the kitchen, a tradition of theirs referred to as the morning tea on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which must be consumed.

While boiling the eggs, Fang Xiu counted a few and cautiously asked Fang Pingying, "Should we prepare some for Uncle Dashan and Hong Lan?"

Fang Xiu noticed that Fang Pingying seemed to be holding a grudge from the incident with Luo Zhiyong’s phone call last night and now she wished to completely sever ties with the entire Luo Family, which was why she asked.

Fang Pingying had this thought in her heart, that she would have to make new arrangements for Luo Honglan and Luo Dashan in the future. Since she broke off with Luo Zhiyong, why should she keep entangled with his family?

However, after some consideration, she thought that making a few extra eggs wasn’t a big deal and said, "Do it, even if we have extra, the eggs will keep for a few days without going bad."

Fang Xiu nodded and went to count the eggs.

Hearing the sisters’ conversation, Li Aihua understood part of it and came over to clarify, "Pingying, if you and Zhiyong really have no future, don’t get close with Dashan and Hong Lan. If it gets too busy at home, just find someone to help out. Now that the kids have grown a bit, they are easier to manage."

"I know, after the New Year, I’ll talk to Hong Lan, let her continue working in the shop, after all, the shop is short-staffed," Fang Pingying had already decided last night, since Luo Honglan was going to be paid for working in the shop as well, and she would find another way for the kids.

"The fact that you can think this way yourself is the best," Li Aihua saw that Fang Pingying had rarely made up her mind to break up with Luo Zhiyong, so she took the opportunity to advise, "So don’t reject Liu anymore on account of Zhiyong, I think he’s a good person and quite compatible with you."

Fang Pingying, seeing Li Aihua so eager, reproached, "Mom, even without Luo Zhiyong, you don’t have to rush to marry me off. I haven’t said for sure that I’ll never get married in my whole life, but I won’t consider it for the near future, at least not for the next two years, I won’t think about marriage."
