Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 739 - 734: Acting on Impulse

After hearing Luo Zhiyong’s words, Fang Pingying frowned at him, "You’re asked to persuade him to marry someone else?"

Luo Zhiyong slightly furrowed his brow, expressing his opinion on the matter, "The way I see it, it all depends on Guangsheng’s attitude. If Guangsheng really gives in to his parents, then it’s best that things with Fang Xiu are completely cut off."

In reality, he and Fang Pingying shared the same thought. Because of family matters, ever since Fang Pingying married him, she hardly had any good days. Now it was Fang Xiu’s turn. If possible, he would rather persuade Fang Xiu to choose an easier path.

Fang Pingying felt that there was some truth to Luo Zhiyong’s words, so she voiced her agreement. However, since Zhou Guangsheng was not here at the moment, any further discussion was in vain. Fang Pingying then instructed Luo Zhiyong, "Alright, once we finish moving, you go and take care of this matter immediately."

But man’s plans are no match for heaven’s plans. Who would have known that just as the family finished packing and was about to move, as soon as they opened the door, they saw a haggard, unshaven Zhou Guangsheng standing outside, carrying a large cloth bag, and dust-covered as he was about to knock.

Everyone was startled by Zhou Guangsheng appearing at the door, even the usually quick-to-react Fang Pingying took a moment before hesitatingly asking Luo Zhiyong, who was standing at the doorway, "This is..."

Zhou Guangsheng first called out to Fang Pingying, then his gaze locked onto Fang Xiu standing behind her, and with utmost tenderness in his voice, he called out, "Xiu’er."

When Fang Xiu saw Zhou Guangsheng, her nose twitched and her eyes were already brimming with tears, her mind went blank. She didn’t know what Zhou Guangsheng’s appearance meant, could it be as she hoped?

Having faced too many disappointments, Fang Xiu dared not hold too much hope. Staring at Zhou Guangsheng in a daze, she uncertainly asked, "You..."

"Xiu’er, let’s go get our marriage certificate," Zhou Guangsheng said as he stepped into the house and took Fang Xiu’s hand in his, his tone unwaveringly firm.

Fang Xiu, never expecting such a sudden turn of events, looked incredulously at Zhou Guangsheng, hardly able to believe it, "I..."

In fact, Zhou Guangsheng’s decision astonished everyone. Once they snapped out of it, Li Yuchun couldn’t wait to ask, "Guangsheng, what’s going on? Weren’t you supposed to be at your hometown? When did you come here?"

"Let’s not talk about that for now." Zhou Guangsheng’s gaze still rested on Fang Xiu’s face, looking at her intently, "Xiu’er, just tell me if you’re willing to marry me?"

As Fang Xiu was about to speak, Zhou Guangsheng suddenly laughed at himself and glanced at his disheveled appearance, "In my current state, with nothing to my name, because of my leg injury, I might have to retire from the army soon. If they can’t arrange a job for me, I’ll be penniless. And not just that, if you marry me, my parents might..."

Before Zhou Guangsheng could finish, Fang Xiu, eyes filled with tears, swiftly covered his mouth with her hand, her voice trembling as she whispered to him, "Stop talking. In this lifetime, I, Fang Xiu, will only marry a man named Zhou Guangsheng. No matter whether you’re wealthy or have nothing, as long as it’s you."

"Xiu’er..." Zhou Guangsheng, moved by Fang Xiu, also had a misty gaze as he looked at her.

Not just the two of them, even Fang Pingying, who was watching from the side, was moved by these few sentences. She even pushed the two towards each other and exclaimed, "Then what are you waiting for? Go get the marriage certificate now, right now, especially since today is a good day."

"Big sister, you support us too?" Fang Xiu, in her joy, was somewhat puzzled; she thought Fang Pingying would be against their impulsive decision.

But Fang Pingying smiled back at her, "How could I not support you? Look at what kind of life you’ve been living these days."

"Alright, I’ll go." Fang Xiu smiled slightly, then turned to look resolutely at Zhou Guangsheng, "Guangsheng, let’s go get our marriage certificate."

After the two left, the family watched their departing figures, some joyful and some sorrowful.

Elders like Li Yuchun and Fang Ping’an did not approve of them rushing back to get married so impulsively. After all, marriage is a significant affair, and they hoped for a proper ceremony with both families’ consent, followed by a reception to receive everyone’s blessings.

But due to everything that had transpired, they feared that more complications would arise if they objected again, and Fang Xiu wouldn’t be able to handle it. So amidst their hesitation, they chose not to stop them.

Especially since Fang Pingying, the most thorough planner in the family, had approved.

Moreover, even Luo Zhiyong was somewhat puzzled by Fang Pingying’s actions at that moment, looking at her and asking, "What you did today doesn’t seem like you. Aren’t you always the one who likes to think things through thoroughly?"

"Indeed, many things require careful consideration, but Fang Xiu’s matter can’t stand any more deliberation," Fang Pingying said with a smile,

"Besides, didn’t you just say it too? It mainly depends on Guangsheng’s attitude. Now that Guangsheng is so determined to be with Xiu’er, what is there for us to oppose?"

Her words reassured everyone, and Luo Zhiyong nodded; in truth, he had hoped for this outcome the moment he saw Zhou Guangsheng at their doorstep.

Even Fang Ping’an had come to an understanding, persuading Li Yuchun, "Yes, my dear, let them be. Xiu’er has suffered enough. It’s rare that Guangsheng is so determined to be with her. Let them face any difficulties themselves."

Naturally, such impulsive actions would certainly entail difficulties, and not just a few.

Not long after Zhou Guangsheng went with Fang Xiu to get their marriage certificate, the other three members of the Zhou Family followed. Zhou’s parents and Zhou Guangsheng’s sister Zhou Xiaoyan all came over.

They knew that Zhou Guangsheng’s first stop upon arrival must have been to find Fang Xiu. Not finding her at the shop, they went straight to Fang Pingying’s house.

But in the end, they arrived a few hours too late. By the time they reached Fang Pingying’s new home, the Fang Family had already moved out.

After they inquired along the way and got the address of Fang Pingying’s new home, it was already late afternoon. By that time, Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu had already smoothly obtained their marriage certificate.

Upon learning this, Granny Zhou immediately started wailing and making a scene in the courtyard of Fang Pingying’s new home, even threatening to drink pesticide, as she had used this tactic before to successfully separate Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu, and she instinctively believed it would be effective again.

Moreover, while crying and shouting, the old woman actually took out a bottle resembling pesticide from the bag she carried with her, startling everyone present. Apparently, Granny Zhou carried her pesticide everywhere.
