Luo Honglan thought about it and whispered, "She occasionally goes out at night, says she’s eting friends to watch a movie or sothing."
After that, Luo Honglan suddenly understood why Fang Pingying was asking these questions. She had a sudden realization, covering her mouth in surprise and whispering, "It’s not good for Second Sister-in-law and Liu Junting to do this; after all, she’s married to my second brother. How can she frequently be with another man?"
"Exactly, that’s why I reminded her just now," Fang Pingying sighed. "I hope she takes it to heart."
"I know my second brother was wrong the last ti, but Second Sister-in-law didn’t talk about divorce or anything. Since she’s willing to live with my second brother, as a married woman, she should behave herself, right?" Being part of the Luo family, Luo Honglan instinctively sided with her own family.
Like many others, she felt that if soone from her own family did sothing wrong, it could always be forgiven, but if it was soone else, it wasn’t acceptable.
Fang Pingying just looked at her and advised, "Just let them be. We can’t manage your second brother and daughter-in-law’s affairs now anyway, there’s nothing we can do."
"Exactly," Luo Honglan said just for the sake of saying it. Even if it were her to handle it, she couldn’t possibly manage.
For lunch, Luo Zhiyong cooked dishes, accommodating Fang Pingying’s recent preference for spicy food.
Both Luo Zhiyong and Luo Honglan couldn’t handle spicy food; the two of them ate quietly while Fang Pingying had no trouble at all and didn’t react one bit.
Seeing this, Luo Honglan blurted out with a quick laugh, "Sister-in-law must be carrying a girl this ti. People say, ’Sour craves a boy, spicy craves a girl.’"
Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong imdiately laughed and served Fang Pingying another helping of food, "Good, let’s have more for our girl. Co, eat more at, let our girl grow fatter."
Seeing Luo Zhiyong not only didn’t bla her but was also joyfully laughing, Luo Honglan couldn’t help but sigh, "My big brother is really nice, doesn’t favor sons over daughters at all. If our mom was here, she would have definitely scolded instead."
Luo Zhiyong looked at Fang Pingying’s belly and smiled at Luo Honglan, saying, "Your sister-in-law and I can only have one child, boy or girl, it doesn’t matter, they’re all the sa."
Fang Pingying looked at Luo Zhiyong with a smile, thinking to herself how great her man was in these matters. In an era with strict family planning and their military community only allowing one child per couple, many were praying fervently for a son to carry on the family na.
But Luo Zhiyong didn’t think this way at all; he said sons and daughters were the sa – they were all his children, all equally loved.
After lunch, Luo Zhiyong helped them tidy up the shop, making sure to bring down everything they might need soon. Things that couldn’t fit were moved to the back, and stuff that wouldn’t be used for a while was put in the overhead cabinets. He was worried that Fang Pingying might overexert herself in fetching things and get hurt.
Before heading back to his unit, he kept reminding Luo Honglan to take good care of Fang Pingying, saying to just let her sit and collect money, with Luo Honglan handling the rest.
After Luo Honglan agreed, he turned to caution Fang Pingying, "Don’t overdo it. Leave what you can’t do. If it’s urgent, call , and I’ll co over in the evening to help. You need to take care of yourself; earning money isn’t as important as your health..."
As Luo Zhiyong went on and on, Fang Pingying, touched yet finding him naggy, laughed. He was decisive at work, and she hadn’t seen him talk so much before; now with her pregnant, he’d beco like an old mother hen.
She hurried him along with a smile, "Alright, alright, you’ve said enough. At most, you’ll be back next week, there’s no need for so many instructions."
Even so, after Luo Zhiyong returned to his troop, he still could not quite put his mind at ease, his thoughts occupied with worries, and he would occasionally call a small store next to Fang Pingying’s shop.
This store had a telephone, and people from the nearby area could use it to receive calls, costing 50 cents each ti, and the owner was willing to call them over.
After Fang Xiu left, only Fang Pingying and Luo Honglan were left in the shop, and as the Chinese New Year was approaching, many people ca to buy new year goods, making the business much busier; the two were often so busy they couldn’t even have lunch on ti.
Fang Pingying thought about hiring soone, but as it was close to the New Year, most people from other places were thinking about going ho, and moreover, Fang Pingying didn’t dare to just hire anyone randomly, fearing trouble.
But it was indeed too busy, Fang Pingying’s body could not take it anymore.
That morning, Fang Pingying felt sothing was wrong with her body, her stomach faintly aching.
She knew that the recent excessive busyness was too much for her body, so she thought of resting for a few days and said to Luo Honglan, "Honglan, go outside the shop and put up a notice, saying our shop is closed for a few days due to so matters, custors who want to order can co and place orders, you can take notes outside."
Luo Honglan knew that the shop had been doing very well in recent days, and there was no reason to suddenly pause.
At that mont, she thought of it and imdiately sat next to Fang Pingying’s bed, touched her stomach, and asked nervously, "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell? Should I call my brother?"
Fang Pingying hurriedly stopped her, "I’m a bit uncomfortable, but it’s not serious, don’t call your brother, it will worry him to death."
Hearing this, Luo Honglan beca very anxious, imdiately jumped up from the bedside, determined to take Fang Pingying to the hospital, "Sister-in-law, where are you feeling uncomfortable? Should we go to the hospital? If sothing happens to your stomach, my brother won’t let off."
"It’s just so pain, the doctor said it’s a normal phenonon, don’t worry..."
Fang Pingying hadn’t finished her sentence when she suddenly felt a warm flow beneath her, she tensed up, and without caring about Luo Honglan being there, she imdiately lifted the blanket and took off her outer trousers to check, and saw blood.
Luo Honglan saw this and beca so frightened she couldn’t speak clearly and started crying, "Sister-in-law, what... what’s happening?"
"Honglan, don’t panic," Fang Pingying forced herself to stay calm and instructed Luo Honglan, "Get so sanitary paper and bring a thick garnt, we are going to the hospital."
"Yes, yes, to the hospital." Luo Honglan was so flustered she didn’t know what to do, "Also, we need to call my brother first."
Luo Honglan rushed out imdiately, Fang Pingying didn’t even have ti to stop her.
At this mont, Fang Pingying was also scared. Although she had experience giving birth, she had no experience with miscarriages, and now seeing blood, she didn’t know if the baby could be saved.
She truly regretted deeply now, she shouldn’t have placed such importance on earning money, if sothing happened to the child, nothing could make up for it.
After Luo Honglan made the phone call, she imdiately supported Fang Pingying to the hospital, they also closed the shop, and inford the neighboring shop owner, asking to tell any custors to co tomorrow if they needed anything.(To be continued.
