When Luo Zhiyong arrived, he saw the guoba meat on the table and thought it was made by Fang Pingying, and he praised it effusively. This made Fang Pingying laugh out loud, "This time the flattery has hit the wrong target, today’s meal is made by Hong Lan." Luo Zhiyong was a bit surprised, then he smiled and patted Luo Honglan on the head, saying to Fang Pingying, "Don’t you think this girl has become smarter? She can do anything now, works well in the store, can manage the accounts, and also handles household chores well." Fang Pingying was quite satisfied with Luo Honglan’s work, "Yes, mainly because she is diligent and focused without distractions in her work." Luo Zhiyong smiled at Luo Honglan, "Keep up the good work here with your sister-in-law, after a few years if you’ve saved some money and want to settle down in the city, we can find you a young man to marry. Then you will be closer to us, and you can take care of each other." Luo Honglan felt a bit shy and glanced at Luo Zhiyong reproachfully, without saying a word. This conversation gave Fang Pingying an idea; she thought it would be good if Luo Zhiyong could find a young man in the army for Luo Honglan to date. Luo Honglan is hardworking, diligent, and now she’s able to earn some money working in the store every year. If she finds a trustworthy young man in the army, she could still continue working in the store even after getting married. In the future, the husband’s family and the wife’s family could each contribute - the couple’s life would certainly not be bad. Regardless, Fang Pingying would not let Luo Honglan repeat her past life’s mistakes. With this thought in mind, Fang Pingying planned to go back to the compound next year after the holiday to look around and see if there was a suitable match. After the three of them finished lunch, they went out to shop. Luo Honglan planned to buy some things for her family, while Fang Pingying intended to buy a thicker coat for Luo Zhiyong at the department store. Since the start of winter, Fang Pingying had been very busy. She had only managed to knit two thick sweaters for Luo Zhiyong and didn’t have the time to make or buy him a coat. Luo Zhiyong usually wore the greatcoat issued by the army. Although it was warm, it wasn’t quite suitable to wear all the time. The group took a bus to the department store in the city center. As they were about to enter, Fang Pingying suddenly heard a familiar shout, "You shameless man, if you don’t give me my money today, I’m going to die right here." That voice seemed to be Fang Xiu’s. At the same time, not only Fang Pingying, but Luo Zhiyong also heard Fang Xiu’s voice. They looked at each other and then glanced around, suddenly Luo Zhiyong raised his hand, pointing not far away, "Fang Xiu is over there, do you see the man arguing with her? Isn’t he the one who visited our store before?" Fang Pingying followed the direction of Luo Zhiyong’s hand and immediately recognized the man tussling with Fang Xiu was indeed Liu Junting, and she nodded, "It’s that Liu Junting, no mistake." Luo Honglan also recognized him and exclaimed in astonishment, "What’s going on, why hasn’t my sister-in-law gone back yet?" It was also strange for Luo Zhiyong and the others because when Luo Zhiyong had asked Luo Zhiming earlier, Luo Zhiming had said that Fang Xiu had already returned to their hometown, so they hadn’t been paying much attention to Fang Xiu’s affairs. Why Fang Xiu was still here arguing with a man. After all, she is family, and they really couldn’t just stand by and ignore the situation. Luo Zhiyong said to Fang Pingying, "Stay here, I’m going to check it out." Seeing that Fang Xiu and Liu Junting seemed to be having a fierce argument, Fang Pingying also followed him over. As Fang Pingying and the others approached, Fang Xiu also saw them and looked somewhat embarrassed. Wanting to turn around and leave, but not willing to let Liu Junting off just like that, she still stood there, gripping Liu Junting with one hand, and called out to Fang Pingying, "Sis." Fang Pingying frowned at her, "What’s going on? Tugging and pulling on the street, what does it look like?" Having met Fang Pingying once before, Liu Junting recognized her and immediately said, "Exactly, you are her sister, right? Please take this crazy woman away from me. Following me around all day long, I am really fed up with her." "Fang Xiu, what happened?" Fang Pingying didn’t pay attention to Liu Junting and just asked Fang Xiu. Fang Xiu glanced at Luo Honglan and Luo Zhiyong next to her, her expression uneasy, not really wanting to talk. Fang Pingying probably understood why she was avoiding Luo Zhiyong and didn’t pressure her to explain in detail, just asking, "Why are you grabbing him?" Fang Xiu looked at Liu Junting bitterly, then told Fang Pingying, "Big sister, this man has swindled quite a bit of money from me, I need to get it back." No sooner had Fang Xiu finished speaking than Liu Junting began to shout, "Who swindled your money? The money was given by you willingly at the time. I didn’t force you to give it." Hearing this, Fang Xiu, infuriated, slapped Liu Junting and yelled loudly at him, "You said it was a loan, and I lent it to you because I pitied you; now you don’t want to admit it?" "Lending money usually comes with a promissory note or IOU. Bring it out, and I’ll give you the money. Otherwise, stop going crazy here." Liu Junting finished speaking, pushed Fang Xiu away, and was about to run. But he was grabbed by Luo Zhiyong, who frowned at him, "Explain the situation clearly before you leave." Luo Zhiyong did not know exactly what had happened, but since Fang Xiu said this person had swindled her money, they naturally couldn’t let him get away just like that. Fang Pingying also frowned and glanced at Liu Junting, this scumbag deceived her in a previous life, and now he’s deceiving Fang Xiu; what did the Fang Family ever do to him in a past life, kill his family or burn down his house? She also coldly said, "Right, don’t rush to leave; speak clearly. If you really have nothing to do with this, we are not unreasonable people." After that, Fang Pingying turned to Fang Xiu and pulled her aside, "Tell me clearly, what exactly happened, and what is your relationship with him?" Originally, after Fang Xiu had left the store a while ago, she did indeed go to see Luo Zhiming. Because of the tangle with Liu Junting, Fang Xiu didn’t dare to say too much to Luo Zhiming, just said that it was too tiring working at Fang Pingying’s place and she didn’t want to do it anymore. She wanted to find another job but with the New Year coming, she felt it was not necessarily easy to find work everywhere, so she suggested it might be better to just go back and stay for a while, and come back here to look for work after the New Year. Due to recent events regarding that woman, Fang Xiu had no good feelings towards Luo Zhiming. Luo Zhiming felt aggrieved that Fang Xiu was clearly taking so much money a month but refused to help him with his debts. He always felt that Fang Xiu knew only to spend his money and once he was in trouble, she couldn’t wait to dissociate from him. Anyway, because of these issues, the two of them had been unhappy recently. Hearing that Fang Xiu was quitting, he didn’t react much, just said it was up to her, whether she did it or not, the money would not be given to him. But men are creatures of the lower half of the body, with Fang Xiu having nowhere to go that evening, she stayed overnight at his place. Having not been intimate in a while, once together, they couldn’t hold back, and that night they continued with various activities until late. When they woke up in the morning, both Luo Zhiming and Fang Xiu had cooled off. (To be continued. If you work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets.
