Fang Pingying looked at him, "Do you think what my mom said was wrong?"
"It’s precisely because my mother-in-law is right that I feel even worse," Luo Zhiyong’s face showed a flash of embarrassnt. For the first ti, he admitted to Fang Pingying his helplessness as a man, "As a man, I can’t provide a carefree life for my wife, and that already makes feel terrible. But the fact that my family keeps troubling you only increases my sha."
Fang Pingying didn’t speak; she could figure this out herself without him saying it. If they were all living happily, he wouldn’t mind so much; after all, for just their family of four, how much money each person made wasn’t a problem.
Luo Zhiyong paused for a while and then continued, his expression full of conflict, "In fact, every ti my family cos to bother you, it hurts more than anyone else. I always try to stand by your side, to protect you, and I have even said so very unpleasant things to them, but they don’t care at all. Every ti I can only protect you montarily, and the next ti, they remain unchanged. I feel utterly helpless toward such relatives."
"Since this year, I have been trying to ignore them, and indeed, we have lived more comfortably for the past six months without all that ss. But every ti my parents call, saying that they haven’t seen for a long ti and hope I can visit, I still can’t bear it."
Fang Pingying nodded at him, signaling him to continue. Whether good or bad, she was willing to listen to Luo Zhiyong speak his deepest thoughts.
Luo Zhiyong lowered his head and thought for a mont, knowing that Fang Pingying would not like what he was about to say. But if he didn’t, he was unwilling for there to be issues between them as a couple.
After weighing his options, he still gritted his teeth and said it, "Pingying, after all, they are my biological parents. In the past, with minor things, things that weren’t life-threatening, I could really ignore them. But this ti, it is really hard for to give the debt collectors our ho address. I can’t bear it. If the debt collectors go there, Luo Zhiming will definitely push my parents out to deal with them, and it may really lead to trouble."
Fang Pingying looked at him and gave a light smile. She couldn’t imagine the struggle Luo Zhiyong went through internally when she resolutely told Luo Zhiming over the phone that she would give out the address to the debt collectors, but in front of her, he didn’t dare speak out.
She frowned and asked Luo Zhiyong, "So, Zhiyong, are you blaming in your heart, thinking I’m too harsh? I have so much money in my hand, but I’m not willing to spare two thousand yuan to ensure your parents’ safety?"
"No, Pingying, I didn’t an that at all." Luo Zhiyong shook his head quickly, asserting firmly, "I never intended for you to pay off this debt. All along, I didn’t want to use your money to resolve my family’s problems. That would make feel even more ashad."
Luo Zhiyong saying this made Fang Pingying feel a bit better. At least he didn’t think she was being heartless.
She then asked, "So what you an is, you can manage to co up with two thousand yuan to help him pay off the debt?"
Luo Zhiyong thought for a while, then cautiously said, "I was planning if there was really no way, I would borrow so from a comrade-in-arms, raise as much as I could, and send it back to them. That’s better than being unable to repay anything at all."
Hearing this, Fang Pingying understood it all. Everything was as she had thought; he couldn’t let go of his family.
She had originally hoped Luo Zhiyong would provide a different reason, but now she saw the full picture.
She gave Luo Zhiyong a mocking smile, "Zhiyong, after all is said and done, you still can’t let go of the entire Luo Family. You were upset to so extent when you said before that you wouldn’t interfere with the Luo Family matters, or maybe you felt that I pressured you to abandon your parents and brother?"
"I didn’t think like that." After saying this, Luo Zhiyong sighed and continued, "I know very well what kind of people my parents and brother are. If it were anyone else’s wife, they couldn’t have done as much as you have."
He paused briefly, an expression of extre helplessness appearing on his face as he said, "It’s just that, Pingying, sotis feelings aren’t sothing one can control. In fact, I truly have never resented you; I’m just blaming myself for having indulged my family for being away for so many years, leading to the situation we have today."
"Zhiyong, I understand what’s on your mind," Fang Pingying nodded and said to him, "You still wish for us to continue as before, arguing and fussing with your family, but still offering help when they need it."
Seeing Luo Zhiyong remain silent, Fang Pingying looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "For instance, these two thousand yuan, we should repay for Luo Zhiming, so you won’t worry about your family getting into trouble."
Luo Zhiyong shook his head at Fang Pingying, "Pingying, I won’t take the money from our household; I’ll figure it out myself."
"Zhiyong, you might figure sothing out this ti, but what about next ti? Do you still plan to borrow from your comrade-in-arms?" Fang Pingying asked with a faint smile, "Do you think there’s any essential difference between borrowing from a comrade-in-arms and taking money from ho?"
Luo Zhiyong was silent for a while and did not speak.
Fang Pingying spoke again, "You have to repay the money you borrow. What do you plan to repay it with? You might have to deduct from your monthly salary, and your salary is handed over to every month. In the end, won’t I still find out about it? Can I just ignore it?"
"I..." Luo Zhiyong found himself at a loss for words. He hadn’t thought about how to repay the money, focusing only on resolving the current situation.
Fang Pingying looked at him honestly; she was sowhat disappointed with this Luo Zhiyong.
However, everyone has their own choices, and she would not stop him from being loyal to his family.
She felt that their conversation had gone far enough, so she said, "So, Zhiyong, I think we’ve talked enough for today, let’s just be clear about things."
Luo Zhiyong looked up at her nervously, afraid of what Fang Pingying was about to say.
But, as he expected, Fang Pingying still said what he feared most, "Let’s get a divorce. I’ll take the two kids with from now on, and you can go and properly handle your family’s affairs. You can co and see the kids on weekends; I won’t stop you."
Luo Zhiyong was slightly stunned to hear this.
After he recovered, he beca very agitated, grabbing Fang Pingying’s hand, "Pingying, I don’t want a divorce. Since the mont we fell in love, I’ve never thought of divorcing you."
