After Luo Zhiyong spoke, he gazed at her with burning eyes.

The implication of his words just now was to remind Fang Pingying that she had used this excuse to avoid him several times before.

Fang Pingying was nestled in his embrace, seemingly without any reason left to refuse.

But she still had a bit of reason left, and it was clear that the timing was not appropriate.

Because it was almost time for dinner, and the whole family was around. It wouldn’t be long before someone would come to call her to the kitchen to cook.

Just as she raised her head, about to speak,

Luo Zhiyong came down on her almost without hesitation.

Talk about bad timing, right as Luo Zhiyong let Fang Pingying go and was about to move to the kang bed himself, Zhou Yunmei’s voice came from outside, "Pingying, what are you doing inside for so long? Why aren’t you coming out to cook dinner?"

Fang Pingying heard Zhou Yunmei’s voice, she remembered her earlier excuse that Luo Zhiyong was taking a bath inside, and suddenly felt as if Zhou Yunmei knew exactly what they were doing in the room, which made her sober up completely.

She scrambled up from the kang bed and while getting down she said, "I need to go cook dinner."

Luo Zhiyong’s moment was interrupted yet again, leaving him in a really bad mood. He pulled Fang Pingying back into his arms, his face full of annoyance, "Let Fang Xiu do it. Must you be the one with all these people in the house?"

Seeing the frustrated expression on the man’s face after being interrupted, Fang Pingying couldn’t help but snicker, "Even if Fang Xiu cooks, I still have to go out."

Saying this, Fang Pingying flipped off the kang bed, preparing to leave.

Luo Zhiyong snorted and lay down on the kang bed directly, not speaking anymore.

Fang Pingying felt that she wasn’t to blame for this, it wasn’t her constant refusals, but her mother forbidding her. If he had to blame someone, blame his own mom.

She gave him a smile, casually threw a thin blanket over him, and opened the door to leave.

In fact, Fang Pingying’s earlier guess was quite right, Zhou Yunmei did suspect what they were doing in the room, and deliberately timed her shouting.

Now, as soon as Fang Pingying walked out the door, Zhou Yunmei was waiting in the courtyard.

As soon as she saw Fang Pingying, she darkened her expression and whispered to her, "Didn’t you hear what Aunt Xi said today? The good days for young people are yet to come. Zhiyong’s leg hasn’t fully healed yet, you have to be restrained. If his return to the army is delayed, it would hold up a lot of important matters."

After hearing this, Fang Pingying felt a burst of anger inside her. If she guessed right, Zhou Yunmei had likely been attentive to the noise coming from their room.

To put it unpleasantly, Fang Pingying wasn’t even sure to what extent Zhou Yunmei went, listening in at the corner of the wall or perhaps doing something else.

But this wasn’t the kind of thing Fang Pingying could bring up directly. She just gave Zhou Yunmei a cold look without responding to her words, and went straight to the kitchen to cook.

For dinner, Fang Pingying saw that it was getting late, and there was still some leftover food from lunch at home, so she figured it was enough for the family and didn’t go through the trouble of making noodles or anything else. Moreover, she was in a gloomy mood and didn’t want to bother.

In the end, she simply steamed a pot of rice and reheated the leftover dishes from noon.

Zhou Yunmei also realized that Fang Pingying was not too happy when she had spoken about her earlier.

Zhou Yunmei truly had been spoiled by Luo Dashan and the others. In her lifetime, she couldn’t stand the slightest grievance, and she even had no limits when it came to mistreating others, but no one else was allowed to even show a hint of displeasure.

She had noticed Fang Pingying’s expression earlier. Although she hadn’t said anything at the time, a seed of anger was smoldering inside her.

So, during mealtime, she let out her anger, "What kind of meal is this? How is this little bit enough to eat? Knowing full well that Cui Lan is pregnant, couldn’t you have made something better?"

Fang Pingying had also forgotten that Luo Cuilan was pregnant during cooking and when Zhou Yunmei mentioned it, she immediately stood up and said, "Cui Lan, I’ll make you some egg soup."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei exaggeratedly shouted at Fang Pingying, "Don’t bother, don’t bother. With your stingy ways, you’ll later say you didn’t want to make the egg soup and who knows how long you’ll hold it against me. Tomorrow I’ll spend my own money to buy some nourishing things for Cui Lan to eat. No need for you to spend your money."

Since Zhou Yunmei said that, Fang Pingying sat back down, and with a smile that was not quite a smile, she looked at her and said, "Well, that would be nice. You buy the things and I’ll cook them, so that Cui Lan can eat better and the baby in her belly can grow faster."

"You..." Zhou Yunmei was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to respond.

The others were also puzzled. They had seen Fang Pingying and Zhou Yunmei getting along quite well over the past few days, wondering why there was suddenly a sign of a resurgence of their quarrel.

Luo Dashan had always been the peacemaker between the two, and he immediately shouted to Zhou Yunmei, "What’s the big deal? It’s just a meal or two. No need to make a fuss."

Luo Honglan never read the room well and thought Zhou Yunmei was really angry about the meal, feeling she was making a big deal out of a minor issue.

She also quietly complained, "Exactly, Mom, you used to do the same when you were in charge of the house, and sometimes it was just like it is now. At least the food is warm now. You used to be too lazy even to warm it up."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei was so angry that she smacked Luo Honglan on the head and scolded, "You little wretch, thinking you’re someone special just because someone made you a piece of clothing today, are you forgetting who your own mother is?"

Luo Honglan winced in pain and started to sob softly while rubbing her head.

Upon seeing this, Luo Zhiyong pulled Luo Honglan toward himself and frowned at Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, Hong Lan is already so grown up, you shouldn’t hit her like that."

"What, is it you two ganging up on me now, or has it become sisters teaming up against me? Is that it?" Zhou Yunmei took the opportunity to start throwing a tantrum, and she even maliciously thought about bringing up the afternoon’s incident to embarrass Fang Pingying, "I didn’t say anything wrong today, it was just before dinner I told her..."

Anyway, that’s how Zhou Yunmei’s temperament was. When she was in good spirits, she could be nicer than anyone else, but once angered, she could ruthlessly take you down in an instant.

Fang Pingying understood her and knew that Zhou Yunmei wanted to embarrass her, so she cut her off and said, "You all eat, I’m going back to my room."

After saying that, Fang Pingying’s face darkened, she dropped her chopsticks and went back to her room.

About fifteen minutes later, Luo Zhiyong came in from outside.

Zhou Yunmei had told him what happened outside, and he had also scolded Zhou Yunmei. He was aware that his wife was upset.

He sat down beside Fang Pingying and reached out to pull her into his arms, "This time, it’s truly my mom’s fault."

Fang Pingying had nowhere to vent her anger, and now she finally found someone to unleash it on. She pushed Luo Zhiyong off the kang, "You tell me, when has your mom ever been in the right, and when was I ever in the wrong?"
