Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 100 - 95: Mother and Child’s Whisperings

Actually, Luo Zhiming’s change of heart also occurred after he went to the provincial city and started earning his own money.

Although Fang Pingying was most concerned about Luo Zhiming causing trouble for the whole family after going to the provincial city, she did consider Fang Xiu’s situation as well.

Fang Xiu did not take Fang Pingying’s words to heart, and confidently said, "You don’t have to worry about that. If he dares to fool around outside, I’ll twist his head off."

After a pause, she shared her plans with Fang Pingying, "Besides, I’ve already thought it through. At most, I’ll just let him be alone outside for these few months this year. Next year, I’ll follow him there and keep an eye on him to see where he dares to fool around." novelbuddy.cσ๓

"Ah, you’re also going next year?" Fang Pingying was startled, one Luo Zhiming was nearly disastrous for the entire family, adding Fang Xiu might seal their fate.

Fang Xiu thought Fang Pingying also wanted her to go, and she said with a smile while holding Fang Pingying’s hand, "Yes, elder sister, you’re going to join the military next year too, right? Let’s go together then. It’ll be good to have each other’s back in the provincial city."

Fang Pingying awkwardly chuckled a few times and tactfully declined, "I’m afraid I can’t be much help. Zhiyong mentioned that their military base is quite far from the city center, it takes more than an hour just by bus."

"I see, then there’s nothing we can do about that. But we’ll be in the same city anyway, it can’t be that far. When you and elder brother are free, we’ll come to visit you," Fang Xiu said casually, her relationship with Fang Pingying wasn’t that great to begin with. If Luo Zhiming started making money, she wouldn’t really need Fang Pingying.

Whether she was serious or joking, Fang Pingying didn’t commit to anything, just casually saying, "We will talk about it when the time comes."

Fang Xiu nodded, chatted briefly with Fang Pingying at the cooking area, and then said she was going to her room to sleep.

Fang Pingying also had chores unfinished in her room, so after tidying up the cooking area, she too returned to her room.

Meanwhile, Luo Zhiming was being interrogated by Zhou Yunmei inside the room.

Today, when Luo Cuilan and Luo Zhiming were arguing, Zhou Yunmei remembered something that she had been thinking about but hadn’t asked.

Today, Luo Cuilan mentioned that the matter between Luo Zhiming and Fang Xiu as a couple wasn’t wrong. Since she and Luo Dashan slept next to Luo Zhiming’s room, she often could hear the couple being intimate at night, almost every night.

Moreover, Luo Cuilan mentioned it happened during the daytime too.

Although she didn’t hear it at home due to less idle time during the day, she knew about the incidents behind the hill.

Because she went out to chat, some older folks in the village even joked about it with her, leaving her not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She didn’t know whether to laugh at her son for having such good stamina or to cry because people were laughing at her.

Normally, with a couple being so frequent, it should be quite easy to conceive a child.

But there had been no news about Fang Xiu’s pregnancy, which was a bit strange.

Originally, she also wanted to ask Pingying, but honestly speaking, she had never heard any noise from Pingying and Luo Zhiming’s side at night, not even on the day she knocked on the wall; she had just casually guessed.

She knew that Zhiyong’s leg wasn’t convenient, probably causing obstacles, and now that Zhiyong had left, there was even less need to mention it this year.

But something still felt off about Zhiming’s side.

She called Zhiming into her room and asked in a soft voice, "Zhiming, any news about Fang Xiu’s belly yet?"

Zhiming didn’t catch on immediately, and looked at Yun Mei impatiently, asking, "What news?"

"It’s been several months since you got married, and you’re newlyweds, you should be able to conceive easily." Yun Mei said, pointing towards Qiu’s house next door, "Didn’t you see Yu Fen in your uncle’s house has been pregnant for a few months?"

"Mom, do we really have to compare these things when it comes to having children?" Zhiming couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying impatiently, "If we really start comparing, my elder brother and sister-in-law have also been married for a few months. Why don’t you ask them if they have conceived?"

"How can your elder brother be compared with you two? His leg is injured, he can’t be like you and your wife all day..." Yun Mei suddenly paused, considering it wasn’t appropriate to reveal too much since it was her own son.

After a pause, she whispered again, "I am more experienced, trust me, Fang Xiu should have conceived by now. Otherwise, I would suspect there might be some issues with her health."

Having Yun Mei bring up this matter, Zhiming remembered that Yun Mei had been eavesdropping at their corner earlier, and he shouted at Yun Mei unhappily,

"Mom, what’s going on with you? Earlier you were secretly listening at our corner, and now you’re talking about us not having a child, don’t you have other things to do all day? If genuinely you have nothing else to do, go help dad in the fields."

"You silly boy, who are you shouting at?" Yun Mei gave him a slap and said with a flushed face, "I am your mother, after all, I gave birth to several children, what don’t I know? I don’t need to eavesdrop."

Zhiming touched the head where Yun Mei had hit him, muttering in a low voice, "Then what were you doing standing at my door earlier?"

"I was calling you to come eat." Then, Yun Mei added quietly, "Besides, how would I know the whole family was inside, and you two just couldn’t help yourselves."

"Mom, when the family often has people around, you mean couples can’t be intimate?" Embarrassed by Yun Mei’s comments, Zhiming angrily retorted, "In that case, how did you and dad end up with the four of us when you were still living with grandma?"

"You mischievous child, don’t spout nonsense." Yun Mei glanced at him and brought the conversation back to the previous topic, "I’m asking if there’s something wrong with Fang Xiu’s health, why hasn’t she conceived yet?"

"Mom, what are you thinking, how could there be something wrong with Fang Xiu’s health." Zhiming said impatiently, "Besides, we’ve only been married for just over three months, it isn’t considered long. Some people take over a year to conceive."

Pausing, Zhiming whispered again, "Besides, why rush to have a child so early? I don’t want to be dragged down by kids all day, and neither does Xiu’er; we’re still young."

Glaring at him, Yun Mei whispered scoldingly, "Young? Fang Xiu is also twenty this year, I was already pregnant with your elder brother when I was eighteen."

Seeing Zhiming seemingly reluctant to have children because they are difficult to manage, Yun Mei pulled on Zhiming, promising him, "In that case, I promise you, if you two have kids, I’ll take care of them for you. You won’t need to worry about their food or drink, just do what you need to do, alright?"

"Is that so..." Zhiming rolled his eyes, suddenly seemed to remember something, and quickly agreed, "That actually works, Xiu and I will try harder to give you a grandson soon." (To be continued.
