Of course, giving up on Luo Dashan or Luo Zhiyong is Fang Pingying’s last resort. For now, Fang Pingying still plans to find a suitable opportunity to reveal Zhou Yuni’s true colors, which she has been concealing.
She knows that after this incident, Zhou Yuni’s status in Luo Dashan’s heart will likely be restored to its forr glory, and because of her "considerate understanding," Luo Dashan will be deeply moved.
Well then, Fang Pingying will let him see just how "considerate and understanding" Zhou Yuni really is.
Of course, Fang Pingying doesn’t plan to hide this from Luo Zhiyong either.
That evening, back ho, Fang Pingying tentatively asked Luo Zhiyong, "Zhiyong, have you noticed that your mom seems to be especially diligent in this matter of acknowledging your biological mom?"
Luo Zhiyong paused, then understood which mom Fang Pingying was referring to. He gave a light hum and articulated his suspicion, "If I’m not mistaken, she’s probably up to sothing fishy again."
Actually, when he went alone to Luo Dashan’s place and saw Zhou Yuni acting so considerate, he knew sothing was off, though he couldn’t tell exactly her intention. Knowing Fang Pingying has always disliked Zhou Yuni, he was too lazy to stir up any more trouble.
After hearing Luo Zhiyong’s words, Fang Pingying felt sowhat comforted—at least this man is smart and not easily fooled like Luo Dashan. But she still teased him intentionally, "You act as if she might have really changed for your good, genuinely hoping for a reunion between mother and son."
At these words, Luo Zhiyong’s lips slightly twitched; he glanced at Fang Pingying and laughed, "Co on, do you need to beat around the bush with ? I’ve been with her for over twenty years; how could I not know her temperant?"
After a pause, he sighed and continued, "Her temperant has always been domineering and greedy. If my biological mother’s family was well-off, it would make a bit of sense that she urged to acknowledge her, hoping for so benefits herself. But now, seeing how my biological mother lives, she is still so eager to push this issue. She’s definitely up to sothing."
Luo Zhiyong thought about it, speculated so things in his mind, and then asked Fang Pingying, "Did you say anything else to my... biological mother after Dad and I left today?"
Regarding Xiutao, Luo Zhiyong couldn’t bring himself to call her mom.
"Yes." Fang Pingying didn’t hide it, telling him about Xiutao’s claim of Zhou Yuni extorting her for money and the possible collusion between Zhou Yuni and Mrs. Liu.
Upon hearing this, a hint of anger flickered across Luo Zhiyong’s face, yet he felt like Zhou Yuni was just being herself, not worth much further comnt, so he rely said in mild anger, "She truly is beyond redemption."
After a mont of silence, Luo Zhiyong added, "Anyway, I didn’t plan on having any more interactions with her. Let her go back after a few days."
Fang Pingying understood what Luo Zhiyong ant by his words—to follow the plan and let her and Luo Dashan go back to live in the countryside, giving them money as appropriate.
Anyway, now it’s about a month of US$ 5, ten yuan here and there, it’s not like the household lacks this money. Luo Zhiyong thought buying peace with this money is worth it.
But Fang Pingying disagreed, "No way, if she goes back ho and still lives with Dad, what difference will it make from before?"
"Then what do you propose?
"Have her and Dad get divorced, and afterward, keep her entirely unrelated to us." Fang Pingying planned to completely sever ties with Zhou Yuni this ti, not even giving her money. She said, "In fact, if you count back, throughout nurous argunts before, we actually gave her retirent money. Just later, due to various reasons, the money given was never ntioned again. Now rembering, though she raised you all these years, we haven’t wronged her. We gave what’s due. I don’t want any more entanglent with her."
"As for Dad, originally I thought it wouldn’t matter if he continued living with Zhou Yuni, as long as they didn’t stay with us. But this incident woke up. If Dad keeps living with her, there’ll be endless trouble."
Hearing Fang Pingying’s words, Luo Zhiyong recalled the things Zhou Yuni did under Luo Dashan’s na before, and felt that Fang Pingying’s concerns made sense, nodding in agreent, "Alright then, so should we just tell Dad directly?"
"Hold on, let handle this." Fang Pingying knew people like Zhou Yuni wouldn’t shed tears until faced with their own demise. If things were based rely on words, she wouldn’t admit anything, possibly causing an even bigger scene, and potentially convincing Luo Dashan in the end.
Fang Pingying had her ways. Since she planned to break ties with Zhou Yuni over this matter, she would surely seize the evidence against her.
So matters, naturally, require strategic maneuvering.
A few days later, Fang Pingying went over to Luo Dashan’s place, under the pretext of checking on him, while actually granting Zhou Yuni so information.
Realizing she hadn’t bought anything for Luo Dashan recently, and that she was going to put on a show today, Fang Pingying decided to go all the way. Thinking it over, she bought so supplents on the way, to bring them along.
Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Fang Pingying saw Zhou Yuni sitting on a small stool by the entrance, always watching the stairway, as if waiting for soone.
As soon as she saw Fang Pingying, a hint of delight appeared involuntarily on Zhou Yuni’s face. She imdiately jumped up from the stool, heading towards Fang Pingying, and shouted, "Pingying, you’re here."
From her tone, it sounded as if she had been waiting for her.
Fang Pingying calmly smiled, not treating Zhou Yuni with indifference as she used to, but simply replied with a faint smile, "Yes, here I am."
After that, she handed over the things she was carrying to Zhou Yuni, "These things are for your dad, to eat whenever you’re free. These will be good for the health of older people."
"For , huh?" Zhou Yuni was first taken aback, probably not expecting the good reception from Fang Pingying, but suddenly recalled sothing and sported a slight smirk, imdiately taking the items from Fang Pingying’s hand and replied, "Alright, alright, I’ll have so with your dad when we’re free."
Fang Pingying nodded, passed the items to her, and then walked straight into the house.
As the weather turned cold gradually, Luo Dashan’s health wasn’t as good as before, so he was inside warming by the fire. On seeing Fang Pingying co in, he stood up smiling, "Pingying, you’re here."
Fang Pingying nodded, sat close to Luo Dashan, and casually asked, "Yes, Dad, how’s your health recently? Been busy and haven’t been over to check on you guys."
