Xiao Juzi noticed that Huang Lin agreed and didn’t dwell on it any further. Besides, they really had delayed everyone’s evening, and tomorrow Luo Zhiyong and the others still had to go to work. Xiao Juzi greeted Fang Pingying and left with Huang Lin.
Qiu Lian, seeing there was nothing else, also went ho.
Fang Pingying noticed it was getting late, quickly heated so water, and the two of them prepared to go to bed after a wash.
However, Xiao Juzi’s situation struck Fang Pingying like an alarm bell, reminding her of many things from her past life.
In her past life, because she had given birth to two daughters, Zhou Yuni eventually pressured Luo Zhiyong to divorce her, although Luo Zhiyong didn’t heed Zhou Yuni’s words, and in the end, they didn’t divorce over this issue.
But, ask anyone, if a mother-in-law harped on about getting a divorce in front of her son and daughter-in-law every day because of this, it would make anyone’s ho life uneasy.
Luo Zhiyong, lying next to Fang Pingying, noticed that she was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, so he reached out, pulled her into his arms, and asked softly, "What’s wrong?"
Fang Pingying turned over, her eyes eting Luo Zhiyong’s. "Zhiyong, what if I can’t give you a son in the future?"
Luo Zhiyong thought she was just touched by Xiao Juzi’s situation earlier today, gave a light laugh, and said, "Silly girl, if we can’t have a son, we’ll have daughters. I don’t have the mindset of preferring boys over girls. Look, many in our military unit have daughters, and they live happily, don’t they?"
Fang Pingying didn’t know if Luo Zhiyong really felt that way, but since he said so, she decided to believe him for now.
However, she couldn’t help but worry about Zhou Yuni back ho. "Do you think your mom will make a fuss like Mrs. Huang Lin? What if she forces us to divorce?"
Luo Zhiyong chuckled to himself, thinking that a woman really shouldn’t hang out in groups too often, or else bad moods can spread easily. Look, today’s incident at Juzi’s ho got her thinking so much.
He glanced at Fang Pingying in his arms and smiled, "You’re really getting carried away, even bringing up divorce. I won’t agree to a divorce, and nobody can make ."
Fang Pingying felt that there was sothing off about Luo Zhiyong’s words and batted her eyelashes at him, "So, what you’re saying is that you might one day bring up divorce?"
"Learned how to nitpick, have you?" After saying this, Luo Zhiyong pinched Fang Pingying’s ample chest under the quilt.
Fang Pingying’s face turned red, she swatted his hand away, "Stop it, I’m serious. Look at Juzi’s situation today. It’s all because her mother-in-law is superstitious, saying they calculated it’s going to be a girl, and she imdiately wanted Juzi to get an abortion. If it really turns out to be a girl, who knows what else her mother-in-law might co up with."
Speaking of Huang Lin’s house, Luo Zhiyong was also sowhat worried that their family’s issues weren’t over.
Today, they persuaded Mrs. Huang Lin downstairs, and although she agreed not to force Xiao Juzi to get an abortion for now, she said she knew a hospital in the city that could determine whether the unborn child was male or female. She wanted to take Xiao Juzi for the check, and if it was a girl, she would still insist Xiao Juzi have an abortion.
Huang Lin really had no way to deal with his mother and could only temporarily agree, which is why Mrs. Huang Lin stopped making a fuss.
But of course, he wouldn’t tell Fang Pingying these things, for fear that she would tell Xiao Juzi in private.
He sighed, "Mrs. Huang Lin is indeed a special case, but not all parents are like that."
Rembering Zhou Yuni from her past life, Fang Pingying couldn’t hold back and blurted out, "Do you think your mom can improve much?"
Luo Zhiyong gave Fang Pingying a look and explained, "My family is different. It’s not just . There’s also Zhiming. Besides, we’ll live here in the future while they’ll stay in the countryside, not living our daily lives together. What are you worried about? It’s not like Huang Lin’s house, where they have no siblings, and his dad is no longer around. His mom places all her hopes on him alone."
Speaking of Luo Zhiming, Fang Pingying rembered sothing Xiao Juzi told her when they went to the city together today, so she quickly told Luo Zhiyong, "Oh, speaking of Zhiming, Juzi told sothing today."
"What is it?" Seeing Fang Pingying looking anxious, Luo Zhiyong had a bad feeling.
Fang Pingying said, "Juzi heard from others that Zhiming is involved with a divorced woman from their factory, it seems they have so kind of relationship."
Luo Zhiyong initially thought it was Zhiming being lazy or gluttonous again at the factory, but hearing it was about this, he wasn’t worried.
He said, "Impossible. I know what kind of person Zhiming is. His temper may not be the best, and he likes to joke around with girls, but to say he’d do sothing behind Fang Xiu’s back, I don’t think so. You’ve seen for yourself how good he is to Fang Xiu at ho."
"Being good to Fang Xiu at ho doesn’t necessarily an he won’t ss around outside. Besides, Fang Xiu isn’t with him right now. A man alone outside..." Fang Pingying struggled to continue, considering he was her brother-in-law.
But Luo Zhiyong understood her implication and felt Fang Pingying was being a bit excessive, so he retorted, "What about being alone? When you’re not here, I’m alone too, but you don’t see doing anything to betray you."
After saying that and pausing for a mont, he added, "Besides, I went to his place today. Didn’t notice anything amiss, did I?"
"Do you think Zhiming is comparable to you? You don’t know what he’s like at ho." Then Fang Pingying asked again, "What did you do at his place today? It’s not Sunday. When did you go?"
Luo Zhiyong was silent for a mont before saying, "This afternoon, I went out with Huang Lin for so errands. We passed by his place, so I thought I’d check in on him and brought so money for him as well."
"Bringing him money? Did you get paid today?" Fang Pingying asked with a frown.
Luo Zhiyong nodded and pointed towards the desk, "Yeah, I did. I was planning to give it to you when you got back, but got distracted with the situation at Huang Lin’s house and forgot. It’s on the desk. You can pick it up tomorrow morning."
Fang Pingying nodded and then asked, "How much money did you give Zhiming today?"
Luo Zhiyong replied with an uneasy expression, "I gave him ten yuan. When I was there, he said he was missing a lot of things, and his blankets were getting thin, so I gave him the money to buy so clothes and a blanket."
Actually, Fang Pingying wanted to say that those things were brought from ho. It’s because Luo Zhiming is so careless and extravagant that those things got lost.
Last ti, she actually saw him with a pack at the military camp entrance. Fang Pingying wanted to ask about the blankets, basins, and other life essentials that were brought from ho. Even if he was leaving, he should still take those things with him. It doesn’t make sense to buy a new set every ti he moves; that would cost so much money.
And after that, after hearing that he was working at the lumber mill, Fang Pingying had Luo Zhiyong bring him blankets and such from here. She also said to wait a bit longer, and she would arrange for a thicker blanket when the weather changed, and for now, not to waste money buying one.
Fang Pingying had prepared other portable life essentials for him, and even the few items that were missed wouldn’t cost ten yuan. (To be continued.
