So, when Luo Zhiyong ca back that night, Fang Pingying didn’t ntion to him about Zhou Yuni’s embezzlent. As usual, she cooked dinner, and after the family had their al and watched TV for a while, everyone went to their rooms to rest.
When they went to bed, she asked Luo Zhiyong, "Have you sorted out the job transfer issue?"
Luo Zhiyong wrapped his arms around Fang Pingying, very pleased, "It’s all sorted, finished today. Perfect timing to rest at ho for a few days."
Hearing this, Fang Pingying felt like fortune was on her side.
She looked at Luo Zhiyong and said, "Zhiyong, since you can take a break, why not we go back for a visit?"
"Go back?" Luo Zhiyong was also concerned about Luo Dashan’s illness and sowhat wished to return, his heart wavering.
Fang Pingying nodded, "Yes, dad is sick, isn’t he? The family hasn’t called in the past few days; we don’t know how dad’s illness is progressing. I’m quite worried."
Luo Zhiyong nodded but looked at Fang Pingying with worry, "I also thought of going back to check, just worried that you can’t leave, what about Ruirui and Yaoyao? Perhaps you should stay, and I’ll go back alone."
Fang Pingying was adamant about going back this ti; she knew if Luo Zhiyong went back alone, it would be no different from not going at all.
She had to firmly teach those who conspired to deceive her of her money a lesson.
She shook her head at Luo Zhiyong, "It’s fine, mom and Sister-in-law Zhou will look after Ruirui and Yaoyao. They can also be on formula milk normally."
Luo Zhiyong thought it was feasible and imdiately agreed, "Alright, let’s go back and have a look."
"Okay, I’ll prepare tomorrow, and we’ll go back the day after," Fang Pingying said. "If dad’s health isn’t good, we’ll stay a few more days at ho; if he’s better, we will co back imdiately."
Luo Zhiyong had no objections, "Alright, then we’ll go back the day after tomorrow."
Fang Pingying, seeing that he agreed, didn’t say more and confird their departure in two days.
The next day, Fang Pingying went to buy train tickets; when Luo Honglan heard that they were going back to visit Luo Dashan, she clamored to go back too.
Fang Pingying didn’t want Luo Honglan to go back, but Luo Honglan insisted on returning to see Luo Dashan. Fang Pingying couldn’t reject openly, so she let her. She asked Li Aihua to co over and manage the shop when she was free, and agreed to take Luo Honglan with her.
She went with Luo Honglan to the train station to buy tickets. Luo Honglan, taking the opportunity of being out, wanted to visit Luo Cuilan and inform her about Luo Dashan’s illness.
When they arrived at the factory gate, they asked the old gatekeeper to call Luo Cuilan out.
Seeing them, Luo Cuilan was sowhat unhappy, "Why did you call out? It’s going to waste a bit of my ti again."
Fang Pingying and Luo Cuilan’s relationship wasn’t good, so she didn’t say much.
But she did feel that Luo Cuilan was better than Luo Zhi; at least Luo Cuilan was dependable in her work and diligent in earning money. Although she may not be grateful or give back, at least she doesn’t burden others.
Since starting to work here, she hadn’t visited her family once; it was always Luo Honglan who brought so things to visit her.
Luo Cuilan always said that if she took a day off, she’d lose a day’s pay, which wasn’t worth it.
Fang Pingying had no complaints about such a self-sufficient Luo Cuilan; even if she lacked affection for their relatives, it was acceptable to Fang Pingying.
```
Luo Honglan saw Luo Cuilan coming out and hurriedly said to her, "Sister, dad is sick and says he needs to be hospitalized. Are you going to co back with and visit him?"
"Hospitalized?" Luo Cuilan frowned and grilled Luo Honglan, "Who told you that? Did mom say it?"
Luo Honglan nodded, "Yes, mom called big brother to send money back, saying dad is sick and needs to be hospitalized."
"Mom might be lying." Luo Cuilan said, twitching her lips, "I called back ho a few days ago to talk to Jianguo about family matters. Jianguo didn’t tell that dad’s illness was serious enough to require hospitalization. He said everything was pretty good, only ntioned that Luo Zhiming is getting married, and said..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Luo Cuilan glanced at Fang Pingying who was not far away and suddenly stopped talking.
She knew about Xu He and the wedding, as well as the amount of the money gifts, and she had already guessed that Zhou Yuni was lying to get money, but she couldn’t stand Fang Pingying and didn’t want her to know, so she left it unsaid.
Luo Honglan persisted, "Said what?"
Luo Cuilan shook her head, "Nothing much, I didn’t ask in detail."
"Then are you going back or not?" Luo Cuilan asked.
"I’m not going back. I just started this job here, and it’s not a good ti to ask for leave." Not to ntion Luo Dashan not being sick, even if it were life-threatening, Luo Cuilan wouldn’t go back.
Luo Honglan didn’t push further and just said, "Alright then."
"Right, Hong Lan, when you go back talk to your brother-in-law about what I’m doing here," Luo Cuilan held onto Luo Honglan, giving her a special reminder, "Don’t let him think I’m just fooling around in the provincial city, say that I’m earning money."
Fang Pingying sighed helplessly upon hearing Luo Cuilan’s words, thinking to herself that Luo Cuilan was actually not dumb and was never a weakling with her own family, yet she always managed to undermine her self-respect when it ca to the Zhang family, which was why no one took her seriously.
If she were as shrewd with the Zhang family as she was with her own family, her life would be much easier.
"Okay."
The next day, Fang Pingying and the others took the train back ho. Since they had tickets for the afternoon, by the ti they arrived in the county, it was already evening, and there were no vehicles to take them ho. They decided to stay in a guesthouse for the night.
Fang Pingying and Luo Honglan shared one bed, while Luo Zhiyong slept on another.
Actually, Fang Pingying getting tickets for the afternoon train was deliberate.
She wanted to return on the very day Luo Zhiming and Xu He were getting married, so Luo Zhiyong could see everything clearly for himself, and she could catch them red-handed.
If they had returned the day before, who knows if Zhou Yuni and her group would have made excuses. This way, they could also catch them off guard.
The group didn’t sleep well at the guesthouse. As soon as it was dawn, they woke up, had so breakfast, and went to the bus station to catch a bus.
The station’s first bus departed at 7 o’clock, and it took a little over an hour to reach their destination. They arrived ho around nine, just as Luo Zhiming and Xu He’s wedding had started. The timing was perfect.
According to Fang Pingying’s calculations, they arrived ho just after nine.
As soon as the group entered the village, the villagers thought they had co back to attend Luo Zhiming and Xu He’s wedding, so so imdiately ca over and said, "Zhiyong, you’re back, eh? Why so late? You should have co back yesterday. Otherwise, you’d miss your brother’s wedding."
Luo Zhiyong was stunned and asked back, "My brother is getting married?"
"You didn’t know your Zhiming is getting married today?" The villager seed to grasp so of the Luo Family’s internal issues, looking a bit awkward, before hastily moving on, "I gotta go, see you at your house for the wedding feast." (To be continued.
