This also made Fang Pingying see clearly that it’s not always true that more people will inevitably lead to conflicts, and conflicts will turn into big fights. Rather, it depends on the people involved. Encountering people like Zhou Yunmei and Xu He from the Luo Family, trouble is inevitable for anyone. Therefore, Fang Pingying secretly vowed that from then on, regarding matters of the Luo Family, aside from giving money within an acceptable range to her heart, she would not get involved in anything else. If Luo Zhiyong insists on interfering and causes their family to become chaotic, she would divorce Luo Zhiyong. However, even if Fang Pingying stayed out of it, there would always be some matters that found their way to her. After a few days, since Zhao Longsheng needed to resume work regularly, it was inconvenient for him to stay at Fang Pingying’s home, so Li Aihua and Zhao Longsheng went back. In Fang Pingying’s home, since it had also been a few days after the first lunar month, and she occasionally needed to check on the supermarket, Luo Honglan who was supposed to look after the children hadn’t yet arrived, so Li Yuchun and Fang Xiu had to take care of the two children. Fang Pingying allowed Li Yuchun’s family to stay at her home, till after the Lantern Festival. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Fang Pingying originally planned to take Fang Xiu to tidy up the shop since they were reopening on the ninth. Luo Honglan and Yu’er had agreed to come over on the eighth. But right after they finished breakfast and were about to head downstairs, they heard the phone ring at home. She walked over and picked up the phone. From the other end came a somewhat unfamiliar voice, "Sister-in-law Ping Ying, it’s me." Fang Pingying didn’t immediately recognize the voice on the phone and asked, "Who is this?" "It’s Xiao Fang." Afraid that Fang Pingying might not remember her, Xiao Fang even explained, "I used to play at your house with Honglan when you were home." Upon hearing her name, Fang Pingying remembered. Back when she and Luo Zhiyong were newly married and living at her home, she and Luo Honglan were doing business, and Xiao Fang often played with Luo Honglan, always calling her ’sister-in-law’. She responded, but also knew that since she had moved to the provincial city, Xiao Fang had not contacted her. This sudden call must mean something was up. She said, "I remember you, Xiao Fang. What made you suddenly call me?" Xiao Fang, becoming anxious, spoke up, "Sister-in-law, I wanted to tell you, Honglan is being confined at home by her mother, she was forced into marrying someone." Fang Pingying was startled, "Marry? Marry who?" "It’s Li Shunbai, the one who came for a blind date last year," Xiao Fang explained in detail. "Aunt Zhou is forcing Honglan to marry him, but Honglan refuses. She actually planned to sneak over to you these few days, but Aunt Zhou discovered it, and for the past two days, she has locked up Honglan, saying she won’t allow her to go to the provincial city unless she marries Li Shunbai." Fang Pingying sighed. Why can’t Zhou Yunmei ever give anyone a break? She frowned and asked Xiao Fang, "So her mother has locked her up now?" "Yes, I went to see Honglan yesterday, Aunt Zhou wouldn’t let me see her, I found it strange, so I went around to your house’s afternoon window. Honglan gave me your phone number, asked me to come to town today to make this call," Xiao Fang said, and then suddenly crying out, "Sister-in-law, can you please come back and save Honglan? She said she already has someone she likes, and if Aunt Zhou forces her to get engaged, she will die in front of Aunt Zhou." "Don’t worry, Xiao Fang, I know," Fang Pingying assured Xiao Fang she would come back, "Tell Honglan not to do anything foolish, her brother and I will be coming back soon. I promise I’ll come back and save Honglan."

Stay home and help Mom take care of the kids." After finishing, Fang Pingying also said to Li Yuchun, "Mom, I won’t be home these few days, please keep an eye on the house for me." Li Yuchun and Fang Xiu saw Fang Pingying become so anxious after a phone call, they immediately grabbed her. Fang Xiu asked, "Big sister, what’s wrong? Who called just now, what happened to Hong Lan?" Fang Pingying, while planning to call Luo Zhiyong’s office, answered Fang Xiu’s question, "To force her into marriage, her mom locked Hong Lan up." Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu scoffed, she was already speechless about Zhou Yunmei; in her view, it was not surprising that Zhou Yunmei would do such a thing. Fang Ping’an and Li Yuchun both sighed deeply. Li Yuchun complained, "This Zhou Yunmei, isn’t this a bit too cruel? Her daughter already has someone, why is she forcing her to marry Li Shunbai?" Fang Pingying had no time to deal with them anymore, picking up the phone to call Luo Zhiyong. Hearing Luo Zhiyong’s voice on the other end, she hurriedly said, "Hello, Zhiyong, can you get some time off from the army these days? There’s trouble at home." "I was just about to head back; the troops have to go somewhere else soon, there’s a military drill, I need to go back immediately to pack up," Luo Zhiyong’s voice sounded even more anxious than hers over the phone, "Don’t worry about the family matters, just pack my things first, I’m coming back now." "You..." Fang Pingying hadn’t finished speaking when Luo Zhiyong had already hung up the phone. Now, Fang Pingying was truly turning anxious circles, she had never heard of any military drills, but now that something came up, it was time for a military drill. But no matter what, she couldn’t delay his work, Fang Pingying immediately busied herself with packing Luo Zhiyong’s things. Not long after, Luo Zhiyong returned wearing a combat uniform, and he wasn’t alone; Chen Jie followed behind him, carrying some fruit. Chen Jie had leave for the New Year, yet still was pressurized by the army to go back, he had come a few days earlier, this was to wish Fang Pingying and others a happy new year. When Fang Pingying saw Luo Zhiyong return, she wanted to talk about Luo Honglan’s situation, but seeing Chen Jie, she held back her words, thinking it might not be good for Chen Jie to know about it. She had Li Yuchun and Fang Ping’an greet Chen Jie first, and while Luo Zhiyong went inside to fetch his things, she told Luo Zhiyong about Luo Honglan. Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong stormed with rage, "Pingying, find a moment to go back once, bring Hong Lan here, don’t worry about anything else, just bring Hong Lan out, if my mom causes a fuss, let her come to me." "Ah..." Fang Pingying blinked. Luo Zhiyong was rarely so decisive about family matters. But clearly, this time Luo Zhiyong was too firm, after speaking with Fang Pingying, he walked straight to the living room and said to Chen Jie, "Chen Jie, since you’re still on holiday these days, follow sister-in-law back to my hometown, there’s some trouble with Hong Lan at home." Upon hearing this, Chen Jie panicked, "What happened to Hong Lan?"
