Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 779 - 774: Zhou Yunmei’s Perfunctory Attitude

In fact, Luo Zhiming’s words make perfect sense. Anyone who’s good at thinking things through would be touched by what his son has said, even if they had some stubborn ideas. But Zhou Yunmei isn’t the average person.

She always thinks about her own personal interests, and immediately refutes Luo Zhiming, "Zhiming, how can you say that? What do we have now? We have nothing! But look at your brother and his wife, living in such a nice house, driving a car, and even hiring a driver at home. Their life is... "

To be honest, after experiencing so much, Luo Zhiming was already tired of Zhou Yunmei’s greedy face. He even felt that he had reached this point not just because of Xu He’s influence but also because Zhou Yunmei had been making erroneous suggestions all along, causing him to lose his way.

Therefore, before Zhou Yunmei finished speaking, he impatiently stopped her from continuing, "Mom, no matter how rich big brother and sister-in-law are, it’s their hard-earned money, it has nothing to do with us. Stop trying to scheme; otherwise, beware of having a miserable old age."

"You..." Zhou Yunmei thought she was planning benefits for him wholeheartedly, but Luo Zhiming cursed her like this. She almost cried out in grievance, pointing at Luo Zhiming and scolding, "You unfilial son! Don’t you realize I’m doing all this for you?"

"Mom, I’ve made myself clear; I think I’m doing well now and don’t need you doing anything more for me." Saying this, Luo Zhiming also felt somewhat apologetic towards Zhou Yunmei, so he simply said, "Mom, if you feel insecure without money, you can have all the money from Xu He. Just keep it to yourself for old age, don’t save it for me. I can still earn a living in the city, even if it’s hauling bricks, and make enough to support myself."

Seeing that Luo Zhiming seemed adamantly against her idea, Zhou Yunmei’s face turned livid with anger, yet she was at a loss for words, "You..."

As the two were arguing fiercely, Luo Cuilan walked in, holding Zhuzhu in one hand and carrying the child that Xu He brought back from outside, frowning and asking them, "Mom, what’s going on here? Why are you two arguing like this?"

Knowing that Luo Cuilan’s heart had already completely leaned towards Fang Pingying, Zhou Yunmei knew that if Cuilan found out her scheme, she would certainly scold her even more fiercely. She merely snorted and said nothing.

Luo Zhiming directly exposed her intentions, "Dad wants her to go home, but she refuses and still wants to go take advantage of big brother’s place."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Luo Cuilan was even more enraged than Luo Zhiming, and directly said cynically, "Go ahead, go take advantage, then when you completely break off ties with big brother’s side, we won’t be so troubled; we’ll all just stand over by big brother’s side too and break off with you so we don’t have to clean up your mess every day."

"You..." Zhou Yunmei gritted her teeth, glaring at Luo Cuilan.

"Mom, if you don’t believe us, just go mess around yourself," Luo Cuilan paused, sighed, softened her tone and continued to persuade Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, just forget it, stop messing around. Aren’t you tired after going through so much?"

Though Zhou Yunmei didn’t speak, her face visibly showed her displeasure.

Feeling helpless, Luo Cuilan said, "Alright, mom, I’ve already made arrangements with sister-in-law, I’ll be going to work at that supermarket she recommended in a few days. The monthly salary isn’t bad, I’ll give you 20 yuan a month if you just continue taking care of Zhuzhu. No matter what, even if dad doesn’t give you money, 20 yuan a month is enough for both you and Zhuzhu to live on, isn’t it?"

yuan? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Zhou Yunmei quickly calculated that if she and Zhuzhu really went back to the countryside, they could plant some vegetables and fruits, live on less than ten yuan a month, and still save over ten yuan. It seemed pretty good.

Moreover, being pressured by Luo Zhiming and Luo Cuilan, Zhou Yunmei had no choice but to agree, "Alright, alright."

Although Zhou Yunmei verbally agreed, she was still thinking about how to find a way to stay over at Luo Dashan’s side. She’d prefer to remain in the city.

Believing Zhou Yunmei agreed, Luo Cuilan felt relieved and changed the topic. She handed the child in her arms to Zhou Yun, "By the way, what should we do with this kid?"

When the Police Station people came to investigate yesterday, they noticed this child but couldn’t determine where the child came from. Also, the police there were all men, unable to care for a child, so they said to temporarily leave the child here and return the child to the family if found.

But in these days, the Police Station hasn’t taken any action, seemingly not planning to handle this issue. Given their lack of completion at the time, they’ll evade such responsibilities if possible.

Glancing at the child, Zhou Yunmei’s eyes flashed with disgust; she didn’t go to take the child, merely saying, "If it doesn’t work out, just send them to the Police Station and let them deal with it."

"But the people there said we can’t explain where the child comes from, so the child has to stay with us as they don’t know where to send them either." Luo Cuilan thought for a bit and tentatively proposed, "Otherwise, should we just adopt this child? After all, Zhiming..."

Before Luo Cuilan could finish, Zhou Yunmei immediately refused, "No way! Even if Zhiming wants to adopt a child, we would never adopt one related to Xu He."

Pausing for a moment, Zhou Yunmei continued, "If the Police Station really doesn’t handle it, we could drop them by the roadside. Someone will surely take them in."

"Well..." Left with no choice, Luo Cuilan said, "Alright, I’ll call big brother later and ask sister-in-law if they can give some advice."

Being a mother herself, Luo Cuilan couldn’t easily abandon the child, hoping to find a better place for them.

Previously Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying had suspected this child was brought from elsewhere by Xu He, and since Luo Zhiyong had interacted with the clinic’s doctor, guessed the child’s connection with the doctor.

Therefore, upon hearing Luo Cuilan asking like this, Fang Pingying suggested Luo Cuilan try checking with the clinic and ask what the doctor might say.

Luo Cuilan brought the child to the clinic doctor, and because they had initially tricked the child’s biological parents, this doctor had been feeling uneasy for quite some time. Now hearing about Xu He’s situation and the child being brought back to her, she was deeply thankful to Luo Cuilan.

Meanwhile, she continually cursed Xu He, wishing her an ill fate.

Frankly, such an end is the best outcome for this incident.

Although Xu He escaped, she has been listed as a wanted criminal by the Police Station and will certainly be caught eventually, and once caught, she’ll be sentenced heavily.

All in all, Xu He absolutely won’t have any chance to see the daylight again.
