Chapter 126: The 121st Couple’s Quarrel (Until the Third Watch) novelbuddy.cσ๓

Fang Pingying saw Fang Ping’an chatting with Luo Zhiming and Fang Xiu, so she got up and went to the room she used to live in.

The room hadn’t changed much from before she was married—just some dust had settled. It seemed that after she and Fang Xiu had married and moved out, Li Yuchun seldom came to this room and couldn’t be bothered to clean it.

Li Yuchun was naturally not very fond of cleanliness. She would rather go out and gab about utterly boring things with others every day than keep the house tidy.

Looking at the items in the room, which felt both strange and somewhat familiar, Fang Pingying felt quite sentimental. She always thought the last time she was here seemed like a thing of the past life.

In her past life, she had stayed at home for a while because she had nowhere to go after divorcing Luo Zhiyong.

Li Yuchun and Fang Ping’an were both snobbish, and seeing that she was the one who initiated the divorce and was without any money, they were naturally not very warm towards her.

During that time, she had to do all the household chores by herself. Back then, she had so much resentment towards Li Yuchun and Fang Ping’an that she secretly vowed never to return to this home if she ever made something of herself.

But looking back now, it was thanks to Li Yuchun and Fang Ping’an. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even have a home.

After her divorce from Luo Zhiyong, she didn’t even have a period to adjust before she had to wander alone in misery.

So, now Fang Pingying felt that although Li Yuchun and the others didn’t treat her the same as Fang Xiu, they weren’t too bad to her after all.

They raised her from a young age and were there for her when she needed someone the most.

Therefore, as long as Li Yuchun and the others weren’t too unreasonable in this life, Fang Pingying was determined to be filial to them as her own parents.

After sitting in the room for a while and seeing it was getting late, Fang Pingying went out to call Fang Xiu and Luo Zhiming to head back.

Luo Zhiming had been lectured by Fang Ping’an for so long now; he had wanted to leave for a while.

Hearing Fang Pingying calling out, he immediately got up to take his leave, "Mom and Dad, it’s getting late, so we’ll be heading home. Please take good care of yourselves at home."

On the way back home, Luo Zhiming complained to Fang Xiu in irritation, "What’s with your dad making a fuss about everything? I’m just going to work, and he has to instruct on everything. He acts as if I’m some country boy who’s never seen the world, while he’s seen it all."

Fang Xiu didn’t appreciate Luo Zhiming talking badly about her dad, and she retorted angrily, "My dad traveled to many places when he was young. When he tells you something, you just have to listen. He didn’t say you had to do exactly as he said."

"Don’t you know it’s annoying as hell to have someone nagging in your ear? My dad never lectured me like this," Luo Zhiming yelled out of annoyance, eager to vent the anger he felt at the Fang Family on Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu’s words were harsh too. Hearing Luo Zhiming’s comment, she became sarcastic, "That’s why your dad is useless. He’s a man, yet he is completely under your mom’s thumb, not daring to say a word."

"How can you talk like that? How is my dad useless?" Luo Zhiming might not have been the most filial son, but he wouldn’t stand for Fang Xiu speaking about his dad that way. His words became sharp,

"Even if my dad is useless, at least he managed to get my older brother enlisted in the army. Now my brother has achieved something in the military and even supports us. And your dad? He still expects you kids to give him money."

Fang Xiu got even angrier when she heard this. Since they got married, although Luo Zhiming had brought a few things to her family’s home a few times, Li Yuchun would end up consuming most of it, with Luo Zhiming taking the largest share.

She snorted coldly and looked at Luo Zhiming, "Look at you, as if you’ve really given my parents so much money throughout the year."

Zhiming sneered, "Don’t think I don’t know. Just now, you followed your mom into the room, and when you came out, her face was blooming with joy as if she got money. How could she be that happy if she hadn’t taken money from you?"

This time Fang Xiu was truly wronged. Actually, she had just been watching Fang Pingying give Li Yuchun some money and even took two yuan from there.

But in front of Fang Pingying, it wasn’t right to say anything, so she fiercely shoved Zhiming, "Are you blind or what? It was my sister’s money that my mom took, don’t accuse me wrongly, or if your mom finds out, who knows how she’ll accuse me of taking money to support my natal family."

Seeing the couple quarreling all the way home, and with them nearly at the door where Zhou Yunmei might overhear and make a fuss, Fang Pingying shouted to stop them, "Stop arguing, both of you. We’re leaving tomorrow, why keep fighting?"

Fang Xiu glared at Zhiming and snorted, "I can’t be bothered to argue with him, just listen to the rubbish he’s been spouting."

"Alright, we’re home now, let’s not talk about it. What if mom hears us," Fang Pingying pointed at the entrance not far ahead.

The two of them finally stopped talking and said no more.

Early the next morning, when it was barely light, Fang Pingying got up.

With the worries of catching the early ride on her mind, Fang Pingying had barely slept the entire night.

She got up, tidied up some small items, and then ripped the seams of the quilt cover to take it off, thinking to ask Luo Honglan to help her wash it so that it would be available when she returned for the New Year.

After organizing everything in the room, the day had brightened. Fang Pingying thought to wake up Fang Xiu and her partner.

She heard Luo Honglan’s voice calling from outside, "Sister-in-law, are you awake yet?"

"Coming."

Fang Pingying opened the door and saw Luo Honglan holding two metal lunchboxes, smiling as she handed them over to Fang Pingying, "Here are some buns and boiled eggs, I rushed to prepare them. You and Second Brother can eat them on the train."

Fang Pingying felt a warmth in her heart—how early she must have woken up to make these buns.

She took the lunchboxes, patting Luo Honglan’s head affectionately, "Silly girl, you made so much food so early. You must have woken up very early."

Luo Honglan shook her head, "It’s nothing, just got up a little earlier than usual. I’m used to it, and couldn’t sleep anyway."

Fang Pingying pulled Luo Honglan into the room, placed the lunchboxes in their luggage, and while doing so, she said to Honglan, "Well, when I’m not at home, don’t always rush to do the household tasks. Go out and play with your friends when you should."

"Sister-in-law." Luo Honglan called out, eyes reddening as if about to cry.

Fang Pingying’s nose also tingled with emotion, these past days at home, Luo Honglan had been following her like a shadow in and out, and she couldn’t bear to part with her either.

She pulled Luo Honglan into an embrace and whispered, "Don’t worry, sister-in-law hasn’t forgotten. If I really plan to do business there, I’ll definitely come back to get you. It might just be a matter of a few months."

"Okay, I’ll be waiting," Luo Honglan wiped her tears and said with a cry in her voice, "Sister-in-law, once you get to Big Brother’s place, send a telegram back to let us know you arrived safely."

"Your Second Brother and I will be together, there won’t be any issues," Fang Pingying wiped her tears secretly, whispering, "Once I’m there, I’ll have your Big Brother send a telegram back."
