Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuni glared, ready to start an argunt.
But seeing Li Aihua, her lips curled as she uttered a particularly harsh remark, "When you were young, you abandoned Pingying, how would you know what she looked like as a child?"
"Zhiyong’s mom, don’t look for a fight," Li Aihua, who hated it when people taunted her about this matter, didn’t give Zhou Yuni a pleasant look. She pulled a long face and said sternly, "I’m not as agreeable as our daughter, don’t take for granted. Mind your words when you speak."
"You..." Zhou Yuni, infuriated, suddenly stood up, holding Ruirui, ready to argue with Li Aihua.
Ruirui got startled by the sudden movent and murmured a few cries.
Frightened, Zhou Yuni imdiately sat back down and gently soothed him.
Luo Zhiyong knew that Zhou Yuni disliked Li Aihua and Li Aihua couldn’t stand Zhou Yuni either, and Li Aihua wasn’t like Fang Pingying, who still considered her relationship with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If things really escalated, Li Aihua might just grab a broom and chase Zhou Yuni out.
Luo Zhiyong didn’t want to witness such a scenario, so he imdiately pulled Zhou Yuni aside, trying to lead her away, "Mom, didn’t you say you wanted to play with Ruirui? Go ahead, take him to the yard. Ruirui likes it there."
Zhou Yuni, annoyed, glared at Li Aihua, holding Ruirui and walked outside, "My dear grandson, grandma will take you out to play."
Fang Pingying called out to Sister-in-law Zhou, asking her to follow them out.
Seeing her react so dramatically, Li Aihua was sowhat uneasy and also hurried out with Yaoyao.
Now, only Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong remained inside the room. Fang Pingying gave him a helpless look, sensing that their few days of peace were about to plunge back into turmoil.
Luo Zhiyong blinked awkwardly. This ti it wasn’t just Zhou Yuni, but also Fang Xiu and Luo Cuilan.
He didn’t want Fang Pingying to worry during her confinent, but she would have to know about this sooner or later, and he couldn’t keep it from her.
Luo Zhiyong coughed and pulled Fang Pingying over to sit on the sofa, straightforwardly briefing her, "This ti, it’s not just my mom who ca. Cuilan and Fang Xiu are here too?"
"What?" Fang Pingying was genuinely shocked, staring wide-eyed, "Fang Xiu is here too? Her belly must be quite large now, she must be close to giving birth, right?"
Luo Zhiyong nodded, and explained the purpose of bringing Fang Xiu and Luo Cuilan to the provincial city as told by Zhou Yuni.
After finishing, Luo Zhiyong added, "Fang Xiu originally wanted to visit you, but mom told her not to co. After all, it’s not very convenient here."
Fang Pingying nodded.
In fact, speaking of Fang Xiu, Fang Pingying knew the situation quite well.
She could tell, ever since the last ti Luo Zhiming found out about her outside matters, Fang Xiu was beaten and scolded by the Luo Family, and in the end, it was Fang Pingying who took care of her, and she had seen through so things.
She must also know in her heart that when she truly needs help, no one but her sister would care about her. So if Fang Xiu cos, she definitely won’t disturb her.
Moreover, Fang Xiu is still not divorced from Luo Zhiming, which ans she is still part of the Luo Family, and the Luo Family will surely take responsibility for her childbirth.
However, Luo Cuilan is a trouble.
With her healthy body becoming problematic, not to ntion whether it can be cured, even if it can be, treating the disease in the provincial city would cost no small amount of money.
If Luo Cuilan was a kind person, who could properly explain the financial issues, like asking for a loan or sothing, maybe Fang Pingying would consider it.
But Luo Cuilan is not grateful at all. Even if Fang Pingying has money, she would never just keep pouring it into treating her.
Besides, she is married now. These responsibilities should ideally be borne by her husband’s family. Moreover, her current situation is due to the pressure from her husband’s family from the beginning.
Fang Pingying shares the sa thought as Luo Zhiyong had before; if they really seek treatnt in the provincial city, Fang Pingying would temporarily stay at her parental ho, letting them stay there for a while, at most covering their food and lodging—nothing more.
They might not be lacking money now, but that money was hard-earned. It’s impossible for anyone in the family who gets sick to just rely on them for money. They don’t have that capability.
Thus, Fang Pingying told Luo Zhiyong, "In that case, you currently earn about a hundred yuan a month, including subsidies. Give fifty yuan to support our three person family, and give the rest to your mother. We can’t handle more than that."
"I know, I wasn’t going to intervene anyway," Luo Zhiyong agreed upon hearing this from Fang Pingying.
But he also considered that Luo Cuilan’s situation might not be resolved quickly and it was uncertain how much money would be needed for her treatnt. They would have to find a solution eventually.
Then he discussed with Fang Pingying, "However, about Luo Cuilan’s situation, when I return, I’ll ask her properly. Since she has co to the provincial city for treatnt, the Zhang family must be aware of it—Cuilan is also now part of the Zhang family, they can’t simply ignore everything."
"That’s true, this money should be provided by the Zhang family," Fang Pingying agreed, frowning, "If the Zhang family doesn’t have the money, they shouldn’t ask for the children. When she got pregnant twice before, it was them who refused; what’s the use of worrying now?"
While talking about the past, Luo Zhiyong also grew angry, "Yeah, I’ll go back and talk personally with my mom and Cuilan. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll take Cuilan back myself. I really want to see what kind of attitude the Zhang family has."
"Exactly, if they can make it work, good, otherwise, forget it," said Fang Pingying, "If Luo Cuilan still behaves like before, aligning with the Zhang family in everything, then we will completely stay out of it. She can do whatever she likes."
Luo Cuilan’s issue could only be handled this way. Luo Zhiyong then asked, "What about Fang Xiu?"
"Let’s see how the Luo Family handles it. Since she’s not divorced yet, Fang Xiu is still the daughter-in-law of Luo Zhiming, and he has to take care of the childbirth matter." Fang Pingying recalled seeing Luo Zhiming and Xu He carrying big bags in the mall months ago, and sarcastically said, "He had just gotten a big sum of money a few months ago, he had money to buy things for another woman, how could he not have money for Fang Xiu’s childbirth?"
Luo Zhiyong didn’t tell Fang Pingying about Luo Zhiming asking Luo Honglan for money recently, just sighed, "My mom said that after Luo Zhiming left last ti, he stopped contacting the family, he was causing trouble wanting to divorce Fang Xiu, but my mom refused."
"Fang Xiu was brought by your mom, let’s see what your mom plans to do." If it cos to it, the childbirth won’t cost that much. Fang Pingying planned to take so ti in the coming days to gauge Fang Xiu’s attitude, and if she truly understands the situation, she decided to have Fang Xiu divorce Luo Zhiming, and Fang Ping’an will take care of the child. Fang Xiu can go out to work, find a truthful person to marry, and the future might not necessarily be miserable.
Luo Zhiyong nodded, planning to go back and clear up these matters with Zhou Yuni. (To be continued. If you like this work, we welco you to recomnd and vote on qidian. Your support is our greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
