Luo Zhiming snorted disdainfully, paying no attention to Luo Dashan’s words, as he was still intent on creating trouble for Luo Zhiyong. Seeing this, Luo Dashan, in a rage, took off a shoe and started to beat Luo Zhiyong without aim, while viciously cursing, "I gathered from the phone call earlier that Zhiyong seemed to have a disagreement with Pingying over this matter. Don’t add to their troubles. If the two of them really break up over this, we might as well forget about living a peaceful life." Although Luo Zhiming was quick to dodge, he still got hit a few times and felt wronged. He shouted at Luo Dashan, "Dad, am I the only one who’s not your flesh and blood? Was I picked up from the streets?" Luo Dashan ignored what he said and just pointed at him and roared, "I don’t care what you think, from now on, both of you must stop making trouble for Zhiyong. Let’s not even talk about their marriage; his job cannot withstand these antics. He’s an official; such a mess must not affect him." "Dad..." Luo Zhiming tried to say more but was stopped by Zhou Yunmei, who pulled him aside, "Stop talking. If we’re not going then we’re not. We’ll just follow what your dad said and slowly find another way." While speaking, Zhou Yunmei also winked at Luo Zhiming, "If all else fails, I’ll go stay at your grandmother’s for a few days tomorrow and try to borrow some money there." Luo Zhiming wanted to speak again but was pulled aside by Xu He. Xu He had seen through Zhou Yunmei’s signal and knew that Zhou Yunmei was deliberately deceiving Luo Dashan. After all, once they left home tomorrow, whether it would be to the grandmother’s house or to the provincial city, who would know? Luo Dashan was a simple man, not one for cunning schemes, so seeing Zhou Yunmei agree not to bother Luo Zhiyong and supposedly to go borrow money from her family, he didn’t say another word. But as soon as Zhou Yunmei and the others got back home, she made up an excuse to send Luo Dashan out, and then the three of them began to discuss the matter of getting money from Fang Pingying in the county. Naturally, in their view, the method Zhou Yunmei had mentioned earlier was viable. In their minds, they were certain that even if Fang Pingying ignored them, Luo Zhiyong wouldn’t leave them hanging. In the end, as always, he would help them repay the money. Anyway, taking two thousand yuan from Fang Pingying’s house was now a minor matter. What they hadn’t anticipated was that the relationship between Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong had changed. So, the next morning, the three of them made excuses about going to borrow money and left early. The three of them were well prepared to avoid arousal of Luo Dashan’s suspicions. When they left, they only took money with them. Xu He carried a small bag, but they didn’t bring anything else that would suggest they were traveling far. When Zhou Yunmei left, she specially instructed Luo Dashan, "Old man, I’m going out with them to borrow money and it’ll take a couple of days before I return. You take care and mind the house." Seeing them so earnestly going out to borrow money, Luo Dashan was supportive and waved them off, saying, "Go on, I’ll take care of things here. Try your best to gather the money." Latest content published on novel~fire~net Zhou Yunmei smiled and replied, "Okay." Thus, without any hindrance, they took a vehicle to the provincial city. They had been to Fang Pingying’s place several times before, so it was easy for them to find the address. When they arrived at the shop, it was during the afternoon. Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu were talking about Bai Jing, also discussing the matter of postponing Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu’s wedding. To postpone the wedding for a month was not an issue for Fang Xiu. Actually, Fang Xiu preferred to wait until Bai Jing’s child was born to see who the father definitely was before getting married. If the child was indeed Zhou Guangsheng’s, Fang Xiu would need to seriously reconsider her relationship with Zhou Guangsheng. With a person as crazy as Bai Jing, if she had a child with Zhou Guangsheng, even if they divorced, because of the child, there would be many entanglements. In a marriage, such complications would certainly make life very troublesome. So, when Zhou Guangsheng came back yesterday saying the wedding might need to be postponed for a month, Fang Xiu did not agree nor oppose, she just said they would discuss it when the time came. She was talking to Fang Ping about possibly postponing the wedding for half a year. As the two were discussing, Yu’er, who had been out buying things, suddenly rushed back in a panic, gasping for air, "Sister-in-law, Aunt Luo and Brother Zhi Ming are in town, it looked like they were heading your way. I saw them just now and secretly ran over here so they wouldn’t see me." Fang Xiu was taken aback and frowned, asking Fang Ping, "What are they here for?" The issue of the debt had been quiet for a while, and Fang Xiu suddenly couldn’t recall it. But Fang Ping instantly knew it was about the high-interest loan as soon as she heard it, "I guess they haven’t sorted out the previous loan issue yet." Yu’er nodded immediately upon hearing this, "That’s right, Brother Zhiyong can’t come up with that much money all at once to help them pay, and the three of them didn’t seem too happy, so I guess they’re up to no good." Knowing it was about the debt, they could guess the reason for their visit. Fang Xiu became anxious at once, "Big Sister, what should we do? Those people are no good, and they will definitely make a scene here." Fang Ping frowned and gestured with her head. After a moment, she instructed Fang Xiu, "I’ll go out and take a look. You call Luo Zhiyong and tell him his family is here, and he better come over quickly." Fang Ping was quite irritable when she spoke, as Luo Zhiyong had previously promised to keep his family from coming over for this issue, but they still showed up. Since they came, perhaps it was a good opportunity to settle the matter in front of everyone, as it was not a solution to keep dragging it out. Seeing Fang Ping going alone, Fang Xiu, fearing she might be at a disadvantage, immediately put down whatever she was doing, instructed Xiao Yu, "Yu’er, you make the call. I’ll go take a look at Big Sister." Yu’er nodded and immediately called Luo Zhiyong’s office, but by a twist of fate, someone answered the call and said that Luo Zhiyong was out on business that afternoon, not in the army, and they would have to wait for his return to notify him. Yu’er had no choice but to hang up angrily and caught Fang Ping who had already left the door. After hearing the news, Fang Ping nodded without saying much, and together with Fang Xiu, they headed towards their home. The timing was just right; as Fang Ping and Fang Xiu reached downstairs, they ran into Zhou Yunmei heading their way. From a distance, Zhou Yunmei spotted Fang Ping and called out, "Fang Pingying, stop right there." Seeing that it was only her, Fang Ping was somewhat puzzled and looked past her, but did not see Luo Zhiming and his wife. What kind of game were these three playing now? Clearly, they had come together, but why were the other two not present? Fang Ping’s brows furrowed, she asked Zhou Yunmei, "Did you come here alone?"
