"Mom, why do you worry so much, I’ve already said I’m busy, don’t you know about my military unit, I couldn’t even come home for the New Year for several years." Luo Zhiyong, feeling annoyed after months of neglecting home and not caring, said to Zhou Yunmei, who seemed unaltered from before, "Besides, didn’t I entrust Hong Lan to bring you the New Year’s money? Just have a good New Year." Zhou Yunmei heard Luo Zhiyong’s impatient tone and started to scold, "You now are..." "Is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up." Luo Zhiyong, greatly irritated, interrupted her, "You and Dad just take good care of your health at home. Don’t fuss about unnecessary things, having good days is what’s important." After hanging up the phone, Luo Zhiyong saw Fang Pingying and Li Aihua looking at him, and with a somewhat awkward expression, he explained, "It’s nothing, just asking me to come home." Li Aihua gave a faint smile and said with a sardonic twist of her lips, "Besides you, your mother also misses her grandson, doesn’t she?" In front of Li Aihua, Luo Zhiyong was too embarrassed to admit it, so he just put it nicely, "No, she said she wants our whole family to go back together." Li Aihua certainly didn’t believe Luo Zhiyong’s words. She sighed and spoke to him, "Zhiyong, don’t disdain your mom’s nagging. I have no complaints about you; you’re a good kid, don’t smoke or drink, usually treat Pingying well, and love the child. But your attitude towards home is too weak. If you keep this up, it would be hard for your wife and child to follow you." Luo Zhiyong forced a smile. He wasn’t weak, just being a son, he couldn’t be as carefree as they said. But facing Li Aihua, he still made a promise, "Mom, I know. Now that my parents are in the countryside and we’re here, at most we’ll just make phone calls, it won’t be like before." Understanding Luo Zhiyong’s temperament, Li Aihua, although anxious, being a mother-in-law, couldn’t say too much. She could only remind him at the appropriate times, "If it’s really , it would be best. My daughter has suffered a lot with you. In the future, you can’t let her suffer anymore. Otherwise, don’t blame me, the mother-in-law, for speaking harshly and acting ruthlessly." Luo Zhiyong knew what his own mother was like. Facing his mother-in-law, he indeed felt somewhat ashamed, and could only nod in agreement. Li Aihua merely touched upon the matter, spoke for a bit, and then called Zhao Longsheng to come and pick her up to go home. The next morning, Li Yuchun, concerned about Fang Xiu’s prospective match, came over early in the morning with her family. Perhaps because of going to meet the prospective match, Li Yuchun forced Fang Xiu to dress up a bit. In fact, Fang Xiu was naturally good-looking, and not old, plus she had been busy since having her child and her figure hadn’t changed much. After dressing up well, people could believe she was an eighteen, twenty-year-old girl. Li Yuchun looked at Fang Xiu with a satisfied face and then asked Fang Pingying, "What do you think about Fang Xiu’s look?" "Good, what’s not to like?" Fang Pingying glanced at Fang Xiu and joked, "According to me, she’s dressed up too pretty. People won’t even believe she’s a child’s mother, they’ll think she’s a maiden instead." Hearing this, Fang Xiu got anxious and immediately tugged at her clothes, "What should I do then? I’m willing to go on blind dates, thinking that the guy is a college professor who could properly educate my Haohao." Thinking it over, Fang Xiu quickly walked towards the house, "Otherwise, I’ll go make myself look older." The source of this content ɪs N0veI.Fiɾe.net Seeing her anxious appearance, Fang Pingying couldn’t help but laugh, "No need, my mom has already told everything to the man, he definitely knows." After a pause, Fang Pingying still knocked a warning to Fang Xiu, "However, Fang Xiu, finding someone is a lifetime matter, you need to be sure by yourself, don’t just accommodate to everything. You’re not young anymore, don’t do like before, eagerly wanting to marry someone just because you like one thing about them, like with Luo Zhiming." Fang Xiu was now considering everything for her son. She understood the importance of this matter and promptly agreed with Fang Pingying before saying, "Okay, elder sister, I’m just going to check him out today. Whether it works out or not, I’ll come back and discuss with you all. I’m going down now. I’ll wait for Aunt Aihua downstairs." After watching Fang Xiu go downstairs, Fang Pingying and Li Yuchun decided to ponder over going to the street to buy some groceries, letting Fang Ping’an watch the kids at home. Tomorrow would be New Year’s Eve, and there were special many people buying vegetables on the streets, plus the weather wasn’t good, making it virtually impossible for one person to buy all the New Year gastronomic goods in the market. After feeding several kids and changing their diapers, Fang Pingying asked Fang Ping’an to watch the children at home. She and Li Yuchun changed clothes and went down to buy groceries. Despite the cold, there were still many people at the market, many sellers, and many buyers. Because of the New Year, the prices of vegetables had increased several times. But it’s the big New Year, there was no helping it, they still needed to buy what they needed to eat. Fang Pingying bought some meat and vegetables, not too much to carry, but it cost them over a hundred yuan. Li Yuchun grumbled non-stop, "Living in the city is really unbearable. Many things that are free in the countryside cost a lot here. Just like those green onions, we have lots in our vegetable garden at home." "Home and here aren’t the same, what we have at home can’t be brought here." Fang Pingying consoled her with a smile, "New Year only comes once a year, be generous. We’ll buy whatever we want to eat, no need to save on these." Li Yuchun, carrying stuff and walking home with Fang Pingying, looked at her daughter with pity, "Ah, I know, I just find it hard for you to earn money. The whole family relies on you to earn money. The money from Zhiyong’s side is probably not even enough for the Luo family. The other day, Hong Lan went back, didn’t she take tens of dollars with her?" What Li Yuchun was more distressed about was that her daughter asked someone to take money back, but her in-laws didn’t show her a good face. People say empathy is important; even the most difficult mother-in-law, if she gains from her daughter-in-law, usually knows to hold back a little. But she didn’t understand what Zhou Yunmei was thinking. It seemed she felt her daughter was supposed to give them money. After taking the money, instead of a word of thanks on the phone, she was bossy and pretentious. After hearing from Li Aihua yesterday, she knew Zhou Yunmei had mentioned Fang Pingying again on the phone. "These last few months have been better at least. Since there’s been no meeting, there’ve been fewer conflicts. If it’s in the future, I can live with it." Fang Pingying, reminded by Li Yuchun’s earlier words about earning money, sighed and advised Li Yuchun, "Mom, don’t mention this in front of Zhiyong. It doesn’t matter who earns more in a couple, as long as we’re happy at home." Li Yuchun nodded her head, "I know, I won’t say it in front of him."
