Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 650 - 645: Knowing He Came Back

Fang Pingying saw juzi talking about divorce so casually, shook her head, and advised her, "Silly girl, do you really think getting a divorce is such a simple matter?"

Pausing for a moment, she continued, "The children are still young and don’t understand anything. If you tell them daddy is going out for work, on a business trip, or on a task, they’ll believe it. But when they get a bit older, you can’t hide it anymore. Then, seeing everyone else’s parents together while only their mom and dad are apart, I still have a headache and don’t know what to do."

Hearing this, juzi became silent for a long time, she sighed, "Ah, it’s just that I’m worried about the children’s future..."

"So, if life really becomes unbearable, I do support you leaving, but you and Huang Lin don’t really have any major issues, just try to live well." Fang Pingying patted her, and said out loud, "Find a time when both you and Huang Lin are free and in good moods, then discuss seriously your mother-in-law’s thoughts with Huang Lin and let him try to persuade her. It’s better than arguing with your mother-in-law every day."

juzi nodded her head, if not for divorce, this was the only way.

As the two were chatting, the doorbell rang. Soon, they heard a familiar voice talking in the living room. Just as Fang Pingying was about to go see, she saw Sister-in-law Qiulin talking with Li Yuchun and Li Aihua, carrying a small basket walking towards the kitchen.

Fang Pingying was quite surprised, thinking that Li Aihua and Qiulin weren’t that familiar with each other, so she hadn’t notified her. After all, inviting someone over for a meal, it’s awkward for the guest to come empty-handed, and asking them to make a purchase might be burdensome.

However, Qiulin coming on her own made Fang Pingying very happy; she immediately wiped her hands, took the basket from Qiulin’s hands with a smile, and said, "Sister-in-law Qiulin, you are quite the rare visitor. How did you find this place?"

"It’s because you treat me like an outsider and didn’t even tell me about your brother’s baby’s full-month celebration today." Qiulin playfully scolded Fang Pingying, then pointed to the small basket she brought, "I heard it from Hong Lan. I thought since there is a young girl watching the shop for me today, I’d come over to see the aunty and the baby, and also brought some red eggs. I did the same for juzi’s child’s full-month celebration before."

Fang Pingying opened the basket, saw a basket full of red eggs, and slapped her own head laughing, "It’s good you remembered, otherwise I would have forgotten to prepare them."

When the three sisters gathered, they inevitably talked about some gossipy matters or their family situations.

juzi looked at Qiulin, with a hint of envy, and said, "Ah, actually being like Sister-in-law Qiulin is quite nice, not living with parents, just sending some money and that’s it. If my mother-in-law were willing to go back to her own life, I definitely won’t skimp on her monthly allowance."

Hearing juzi’s tone, Qiulin guessed what was happening, and smilingly asked, "What happened? You had another argument with your mother-in-law?"

juzi frustratedly nodded her head, "It’s always that old woman’s idea of favoring boys over girls, it’s driving me to think about following Sister Ping Ying’s footsteps and getting a divorce."

"Don’t do anything rash, it’s not trivial to just get a divorce," Qiulin advised juzi not to think about divorce, then she looked at Fang Pingying and remembered something, suddenly asking, "Pingying, how have you been doing with Zhiyong recently? Did you two really get divorced?"

Fang Pingying found Qiulin’s question amusing, pursed her lips and said, "We’ve been divorced for nearly a year now, do you still not believe it?"

Qiulin chuckled, probing further, "So what are your plans now?"

Before Fang Pingying could speak, juzi jumped in with a mischievous tone, "What plans can she have, she still has Battalion Commander Luo in her heart. I think their divorce was just for fun, the two of them will end up back together sooner or later."

Fang Pingying, blushing from juzi’s words, slapped her lightly, "Stop talking nonsense. Does anyone joke around with divorce?"

Although it was said like this, Fang Pingying didn’t seem serious at all, which Qiulin saw as a clue.

Qiulin fell silent for a while, then suddenly said earnestly to Fang Pingying, "Pingying, listen to your sister-in-law’s advice, men are the most heartless animals in the world. Once you’re separated, he doesn’t think about you anymore, so why do you still think about him?"

These words!

Fang Pingying knew that Qiu Lian wouldn’t normally say such things, as she was always the type to advise preserving relations rather than promoting separation.

Fang Pingying tentatively asked, "Sister-in-law Qiulin, what you said sounds a bit..."

Juzi also felt that something was amiss and followed up by asking, "Sister-in-law, do you know something? Is it possible you know something about Camp Chief Luo?"

After Juzi finished speaking, she exchanged glances with Fang Pingying. Both were guessing whether Luo Zhiyong had found someone else or something.

Qiulin hesitated for a while but eventually said, "Ah, I had originally promised Camp Chief Luo not to tell, but now I must break my word."

She told Fang Pingying, "Pingying, do you remember when you were sick and hospitalized? Camp Chief Luo actually came back that day; I ran into him not far from the hospital. He said he was in town buying supplies for the troops, knew you were in the hospital, and despite being so close, he didn’t come to see you. Weren’t you two..."

Qiulin didn’t finish her sentence. Fang Pingying’s expression paused, and she interrupted Sister-in-law Qiulin, asking, "Sister-in-law, you’re talking about when I was sick and hospitalized, which day did you run into him?"

"The day I visited you, the second day of your hospitalization." Sister-in-law Qiulin had a good memory, and she remembered the exact date and roughly the time she encountered Luo Zhiyong, and what Luo Zhiyong had told her—all of which she shared with Fang Pingying.

Fang Pingying carefully recalled the event, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat, as the time Qiulin mentioned matched the time she felt someone was watching her at the doorway.

No wonder, she had felt someone outside watching her, and had thought it was Luo Zhiyong, but then felt Luo Zhiyong wouldn’t possibly come back from the training camp, and after Li Yuchun and others went out to look but didn’t see anyone, she began doubting her own intuition.

But now, with this explanation, Luo Zhiyong had definitely come back that day and went to the hospital to see her.

As for the reason he didn’t come in, Fang Pingying thought about the scene at the time and could guess a thing or two.

That man, he might have misunderstood something about her and Liu Fengsheng, thinking she was now together with Liu Fengsheng. Besides, Liu Fengsheng being there in the ward that day might have easily led to misunderstandings.

This would also explain why his attitude towards her had been different ever since.

But while his attitude was different to her face, behind her back, he spoke very sweetly.

Although, Fang Pingying knew that even if Luo Zhiyong really came back that day, she wouldn’t react too strongly to it, but she was very eager to know whether Luo Zhiyong had actually come back or not.
