(Third night arrives)
But this ti, before Zhou Yuni could finish speaking, Luo Dashan continued, "Also, my health is definitely not as good as it used to be. After going back, I probably won’t be able to do any farm work, and then the living expenses each month will have to be borne by a few of the children together. Each person gives several dollars, which won’t allow us to live too well, but we won’t starve either."
Each person gives several dollars, Zhou Yuni calculated, even if all four children contribute, it would only add up to about twenty yuan, and really, besides food, nothing else could be done.
Zhou Yuni pouted slightly, not considering this twenty yuan worth much.
"In any case, I absolutely will not allow anyone to bother the children over trivial matters like before," Luo Dashan looked at Zhou Yuni and said, "Yuni, if you really want to reconcile with , we will go back to the countryside, live a simple life, and stop scheming or trying to take advantage of anyone."
"I..." Luo Dashan’s words basically blocked all of Zhou Yuni’s thoughts, and she naturally wasn’t willing.
Luo Dashan noticed her hesitant response and raised his eyebrows, asking her, "You don’t want to?"
"No... I didn’t say I don’t want to." Despite her unwillingness, Zhou Yuni dared not refuse, because she clearly understood what such a refusal would an.
"If you are willing, then it’s settled," Luo Dashan said bluntly, "You can go back later and discuss with Zhiming, Cuilan, and the others. In a couple of days, we’ll return to the countryside. We’ll take Zhuzhu from Cuilan’s family with us, so Cuilan can work well in the city and earn more money."
"Alright." Zhou Yuni could only agree reluctantly for the ti being.
On her way back from Luo Dashan’s, Zhou Yuni was constantly conflicted about what to do next.
To be honest, she didn’t want to return to the countryside now. She had a sum of money from Xu He, so she wasn’t lacking money for city life at the mont.
But Zhou Yuni had her own plans.
She originally thought of living with Luo Dashan in the future.
If nothing else, just living with Luo Dashan in his current residence wasn’t considered great by city folk, but in the eyes of people from the countryside, it was already good. A three-story, solid red brick and concrete house, ample for her and Luo Dashan to live in.
As for Luo Honglan, although she was now living with Luo Dashan, after all, Luo Honglan was almost twenty, and she should soon marry Chen Jie, so there wasn’t much to worry about.
Moreover, living there, living expenses would be covered by Luo Zhiyong, and pocket money would be given by Luo Honglan. She knew that Luo Zhiyong was currently giving quite a bit of money to Luo Dashan every month, which was more than enough for the two of them.
Plus, with Fang Pingying being so wealthy now, who knows, she might give a hundred or eighty yuan out of happiness, or occasionally let them stay in that big house for a while, making life quite pleasant.
Although Fang Pingying hasn’t forgiven her yet, she believes that as long as she sincerely stays with Luo Dashan for a while, she will eventually be accepted by everyone.
And the money she has, she planned to save it, and after so ti, find a woman for Luo Zhiming and buy a house in the city. Sohow, she couldn’t let Luo Zhiming be single for life.
Ultimately, her plan was still to benefit Luo Zhiming, being supported by Luo Zhiyong, and following Luo Dashan, Luo Zhiyong would still have to support them well.
But now, with Luo Dashan wanting to go back, if she follows him back to the countryside, and as Luo Dashan said, lives so frugally, what’s the point of going back?
Still, she wasn’t foolish, knowing the reason Luo Dashan was upfront today. If she disagreed, she might have to completely sever ties with Luo Dashan and Luo Zhiyong in the future.
She was not willing to break off relations just like that.
Therefore, Zhou Yuni was very conflicted about what to do, even when Luo Zhiming returned from work in the evening, she still seed sowhat absent-minded.
Seeing this, Luo Zhiming asked, "Mom, what’s wrong? Didn’t you say you went to see Dad today? What did he say?"
Zhou Yuni glanced at Luo Zhiming and said lightly, "Your dad said he’s forgiven ."
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiming quickly said, "Isn’t that great? From now on, live well with Dad, take good care of him, and stop looking for trouble.
Zhou Yuni frowned slightly, "But your dad wants to go back to the countryside with him."
Luo Zhiming thought this decision was quite good, so he imdiately said, "Then go back. Our roots are in the countryside, and we’ll have to return sooner or later. You coming to the city was a temporary asure; previously it was because Xu He was pregnant, and now there are no children for you to take care of, staying here is pointless."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuni imdiately retorted, "How is it pointless? Life in the city is much better, and if I really wanted to go back to the countryside, would I need to cozy up to your dad? Your dad isn’t like before, needing soone to take care of him specially; if I go back, I’d end up as his nanny."
Hearing Zhou Yuni say this, Luo Zhiming was slightly stunned, then suddenly frowned and looked at Zhou Yuni, saying, "Mom, don’t say I see through you. You’re not actually concerned about living with Dad; your goal is just to please him and take the opportunity to build good relations with my brother and sister-in-law. You went to Sister-in-law’s house last ti and saw how wealthy she is, and now you’re setting your sights on her, aren’t you?"
"I..." Zhou Yuni didn’t deny it, "I just have plans, all for your sake."
"Mom, honestly, after everything that’s happened, I’ve co to terms with things." Luo Zhiming sighed and sat beside Zhou Yuni, sharing his recent insights, "Good deeds are rewarded, bad deeds receive retribution. Even if you do a little bad deed, and no one knows, heaven knows, and you’ll get your just deserts."
"Take , for instance. Probably because I believed Xu He and hard my brother and sister-in-law’s child, it resulted in my healthy body suddenly being unable to have children. I was even toyed with by a woman for the sake of a child; this is karma given by heaven."
"So," Luo Zhiming sighed again, almost sincerely advising Zhou Yuni, "Mom, from now on, whether it’s or you, let’s live obediently, be kind, and not do thing driven by selfish motives that harm others. Otherwise, we’ll face retribution."
"And honestly, over the years, Brother and Sister-in-law haven’t been bad to us. We have money now, and Dad is willing to forgive us. It’s rare for the family to be at peace, so don’t make us look like enemies again."
