Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 776 - 771: Only One Choice

After the embrace, Luo Zhiyong held Fang Pingying in his arms, resting his head near her ear, exhaled lightly, and said with deep emotion, "Pingying, what did I do to deserve marrying you in this lifetime."

Fang Pingying chuckled softly, reaching out to hug Luo Zhiyong back. Although she didn’t speak, her heart felt as sweet as honey. She was very grateful that after experiencing so many things, they could still be together.

They seem to have found their lifelong companion.

After the warmth, some harsh realities still needed to be faced and dealt with.

Fang Pingying thought of Luo Zhiyong’s biological mother, who might or might not still be alive, and asked him, "How do you plan to handle this? Have you thought about finding your biological mother to see what kind of person she really is?"

Actually, Fang Pingying was very curious to see what kind of woman she was, who dared to do such astonishing things in those days.

One could say that during their entire time together, most women still valued their chastity greatly, especially in those days.

But Luo Zhiyong’s biological mother, to protect herself, casually gave herself to Luo Dashan, got pregnant, and yet she never considered spending her life with Luo Dashan. How bold could this person be, or how selfish?

After all, she carried the child for ten months and gave birth, yet she left for so many years as if she forgot this child’s existence. How cruel could her heart be?

However, in Luo Zhiyong’s heart, that so-called biological mother was just a vague concept. He didn’t want to know anything about her, let alone search for her.

He shook his head at Fang Pingying, "No need. Since she could abandon me without any hesitation back then and hasn’t looked for me all these years, it shows that in her heart, she long forgot about having me. Why should I be entangled by such things? Let’s leave it like this."

"Then Zhou..." Bringing up his mother, Fang Pingying had to mention Zhou Yunmei again, "What do you plan to do about your foster mother?"

After all, the situation is a bit different now than it was before.

Indeed, when it came to this issue, Luo Zhiyong frowned slightly. After being silent for a long time, he looked at Fang Pingying somewhat irritably, expressing his inner thoughts, "Pingying, to be honest, I don’t know if you can understand, but back then, when I thought she was my birth mother, I felt I could never forgive her for the things she did. But now, thinking about all these years, I don’t hate her as much as I used to."

After a pause, Luo Zhiyong added, "I’m not saying that what she did was right, as if finding an excuse for how she treated me. As for how to deal with her, I haven’t thought about it yet. I think I’ll just let things stay as they are for now."

Fang Pingying nodded, understanding Luo Zhiyong’s meaning.

Maybe it’s because of blood ties, or an inexplicable bond between a mother and child. In this world, everyone believes their biological parents are supposed to be good to them. Even if parents give so much, children feel moved, feel guilty, but they don’t believe they owe their parents for a lifetime, as if it can never be repaid.

Therefore, before, when Luo Zhiyong thought Zhou Yunmei was his biological mother, he was very angry at the things Zhou Yunmei did to him, but now he can let it go.

After all, for someone not significantly related to him, even doing one or two things for you is a kindness, not to mention Zhou Yunmei did raise him.

Nonetheless, while Fang Pingying could understand Luo Zhiyong’s mindset, it didn’t mean she could forgive Zhou Yunmei’s past actions.

Some things are not so simple as to just let them pass; some people are not easily forgiven.

Anyway, call her Fang Pingying narrow-minded or ungrateful, she couldn’t forgive Zhou Yunmei. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Therefore, she directly told Luo Zhiyong, "Zhiyong, I don’t care how you decide to handle your relationship with Zhou Yunmei in the future, but I don’t want any intersection with her. But if it’s just to give some money and not involve any trouble, I won’t stop you."

"I understand." Luo Zhiyong also had no objections; he nodded. "So, my idea is, just let it be like it is now. She continues to live her life with Zhiming. I’ll give her some money every month; I can ask Cuilan or Hong Lan to give it to her, as a kind of repayment."

As for giving money, Fang Pingying had no objection. In her view, if some money could really settle Zhou Yunmei, it’d indeed be the end of it.

However, recalling today’s scene, Fang Pingying had another layer of concern, "I wonder if it’s as simple as you imagine. Didn’t you notice she came along with Dad today? It seems she confessed her mistakes not only in front of us but also apologized to Dad—they probably already forgave her."

Because he was focused on other things today, Luo Zhiyong hadn’t noticed this point, but hearing Fang Pingying say it, he recalled that Zhou Yunmei indeed came along with the car, so what Fang Pingying said must be correct.

As for Luo Dashan, Luo Zhiyong still planned to ask him personally, "I’ll ask my dad about this, to see what he thinks."

Fang Pingying also nodded, agreeing that it was necessary to understand, but she added a disclaimer beforehand, "Yes, it’d be better if you clarify things, but let me be clear—I won’t interfere with Dad’s choices. I only have one condition: if Dad and Zhou Yunmei reconcile this time, or if they’re willing to spend time together in the future, then given Zhou Yunmei’s involvement, things won’t be the same as before."

Worried Luo Zhiyong might not understand, Fang Pingying spoke more clearly, "To make it clear, if he chooses to live with Zhou Yunmei, then inevitably, there’ll be a distance between us. I, for one, won’t be taking the kids to visit him every week or inviting him over to stay like before."

Ultimately, it boils down to the fact that both sides cannot coexist, and Luo Dashan has only one choice.

They had tried before, in the countryside, to separate Zhou Yunmei and Luo Dashan and treat them as individuals. But in the end, whenever they spent time together, they were inseparable, which eventually led to the same situation as before.

"I understand; I will handle these things." Having gone through so much previously, Luo Zhiyong was cautious. This time, he agreed with Fang Pingying that if Luo Dashan wanted to reconcile with Zhou Yunmei, they’d follow Fang Pingying’s plan.
