Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 24 Those Days in the Back Hill

Fang Xiu pouted, "So what do we do now? With my elder sister's temperament, what she says she'll definitely do. Is she really not going to give us food?"

Speaking, she sighed with worry, "Ah, I don't know what's with my elder sister. She was so honest back at home, but since coming here, she's like a completely different person."

"What else can we do? Wait until she cools off, then you go and apologize to her. At that time, we'll help say some good words on your side. After all, you're her sister. Even if she doesn't consider you, she must consider our parents who have raised her for so many years. Would she really separate you from the family meals?" Zhou Yun Mei's real worry wasn't about the food issues for Zhiming and his wife, but rather about Zhiyong's salary.

"I'm worried that Zhiyong's salary really will be taken by her. Then, life at home will become difficult."

Mentioning this, Luo Zhiming glared at Fang Xiu, irritated. If his elder brother really stopped giving money to the family, everyone would have to live through tough times.

Thinking about it, he started to pester Zhou Yun Mei, "Mom, you've got to think of a solution. If my sister-in-law really takes all of my brother's salary, our lives will become really tough."

Zhou Yun Mei pushed him away, pointing at Fang Xiu, "Still have the face to talk about it? It's all because this nosy creature from your family caused trouble. Otherwise, even if your sister-in-law had the intent, she wouldn't have had the nerve to speak up."

Luo Zhiming too felt that it was all Fang Xiu's fault for messing everything up, and in anger pointed at her and scolded, "You really are a nosy creature. I've said it before, to please your sister-in-law a bit more. After all, you're her brother-in-law and a close sister. If you got along well, you wouldn't miss out on any benefits. Yet you have to confront her."

It was one thing to be scolded by her mother-in-law, but now this newlywed man was also pointing at her and blaming. Fang Xiu couldn't stand it.

She had agreed to marry Luo Zhiming in the first place because he would coax her and treat her like a treasure.

So, she wouldn't put up with it any longer, and immediately started yelling back at Luo Zhiming and his mother, "Mom, why didn't you tell me the truth before? When I married Zhiming, didn't you say that over the years you hadn't saved much money? Apart from those four main gifts for the wedding, you weren't willing to buy any decent clothes, and they were all brought over from my parents' home."

The issue of money had already robbed Zhou Yun Mei of her soul. She had no intention to argue with Fang Xiu any longer. She glanced at her and then stood up, muttering to herself, "Forget it, I'll go and give Zhiyong a heads-up first, tell him to hand over his wages to me as soon as he gets them this month."

Hearing this, Luo Zhiming immediately agreed, "That's right, Mom, go talk to elder brother quickly."

Once Zhou Yun Mei left the house, Fang Xiu angry twisted Luo Zhiming's arm and scolded, "You damn man, to think you and your mother joined together to deceive me as well, saying that your brother hasn't been sending much money each month. But it turns out he's been sending almost all of his salary back every month."

"Now that things have gone wrong, you're still teaming up with your old mother to scold me. Do you have any conscience at all?" The more Fang Xiu spoke about it, the angrier she got, and the harder she hit.

Luo Zhiming, momentarily blinded by anger, had joined Zhou Yun Mei in scolding Fang Xiu. Now that he had calmed down, enduring the pain in his arm, he hugged Fang Xiu and coaxed her, "My wife, don't be angry. I didn't mean to keep it from you; I really didn't know before. I only overheard my elder brother talking about it later."

Fang Xiu didn't let him off, still pinching and biting him, "Since you knew, why didn't you get more money from mom? You should know, we have to live our lives, and soon in these next few years, we'll have children. That's going to be quite the expense."

"Yes, having children." With that mention, Luo Zhiming's eyebrows raised, and he hugged Fang Xiu, touching her upper body with a hint of lasciviousness in his voice, "Wife, let's make a baby first."

Unable to help it, Fang Xiu moaned softly, half pushing him away, "You dead ghost, what are you doing in broad daylight?"

"What's there to be shy about? We've done it plenty of times in broad daylight. Before we were married, we didn't even know how many times we did it in the hills behind your house." Remembering the things they did in the hills, a fire surged within Luo Zhiming towards a certain part of his body, his voice inadvertently growing hoarse as he spoke.

"Wife, don't you think it's more exciting for us to be outside than at home? How about we go to the hill behind your house this morning?"

Fang Xiu, reminded of the past, was also moved. She coquettishly retorted, "Tch, it's all you ever think about."

"Don't you want to?" Luo Zhiming's hand explored beneath Fang Xiu's body as he whispered in her ear, "Be good, let's go to the hill after we've eaten."

Fang Xiu recalled the things they had done at the back hill before they were married. Because they weren't married and afraid of getting caught, doing it outdoors, shielded by thick leaves, was unprecedentedly thrilling.

It was nothing like after they got married, when the whole family lived together, and they wanted to be a bit louder at night but felt too embarrassed. Only when they couldn't help it could they let out a sound or two.

The next day, the mother-in-law living next door would look at her with a very strange gaze, which completely put her off.

Fang Xiu felt her body warm up and tenderly leaned into Luo Zhiming's embrace, red-face, she nodded in agreement.

Luo Zhiming was thrilled to bits, and with a roll, he pinned Fang Xiu beneath him...

Over at Fang Pingying's place, as soon as Luo Zhiyong saw Zhou Yunmei pulling Fang Xiu into the room, his eyes sharpened, and he also entered his own room.

Fang Pingying saw him come in, found him clean clothes to change into, and then asked, "What do you think of my arrangement just now? If I'm at home, I'll pay the living expenses each month and give an extra five yuan for our parents' pension. If I'm not home, I'll send back twelve yuan every month, and we'll add another five yuan for holidays and festivals."

"Twelve yuan?" Luo Zhiyong felt it was a bit too little. They had previously mentioned giving twenty, but if, as Fang Pingying said, they were deducting the expenses for Fang Xiu's couple, it didn't seem that far off. He asked Fang Pingying, "Do you really plan not to feed Zhiming's couple in the future and make them pay their own food expenses?"

Fang Pingying thought for a while and said, "My earlier words were just to scare Fang Xiu. I didn't say we would definitely exclude those two, but as I said, Fang Xiu must come to me and admit her mistakes, take back what she said earlier, or else I can do what I say."

Seeing that Fang Pingying's tone wasn't joking, Luo Zhiyong looked at her raising an eyebrow, "She's your own sister."

Fang Pingying straightened her expression and said, "Because she's my own sister, that's why I don't allow her to speak against her conscience. You've given so much for the family over the years, they don't appreciate it, but I do. In the end, there's no good outcome, and they speak ill of you. That's nonsense. I can even put up with Fang Xiu talking about me, but it's intolerable if she talks about you."

Ever since Fang Xiu and Fang Pingying joined the Luo Family, Fang Pingying rarely quarreled with Fang Xiu in front of the family. Either she directly intimidated Fang Xiu or talked to her behind Zhou Yun's back. Today, she argued with Fang Xiu in front of so many people, and Luo Zhiyong initially didn't understand why.

But now, he realized it was for him.

Although he, as a man, didn't care about the gossip women said about her, having his wife defend him warmed Luo Zhiyong's heart.

He cracked a smile and pulled Fang Pingying into his arms, his voice unusually gentle, "Silly girl, let her say what she wants. It's not like we'll lose a piece of flesh over it. Why bother getting angry about it?"
