Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 830 - 825: Meeting the Grandson
Seeing Liu Fengsheng agree, Xu He and Liu Fengsheng started carefully discussing what they should do when Fang Pingying arrives.
Anyway, no matter what, as long as Fang Pingying is willing to come, she has a way to make sure she doesn't leave.
Originally, Zhou Yunmei felt confident that since she had requested for Fang Pingying to come over, and said that as long as she saw Fang Pingying, she would return to the countryside and never come to the city to disturb them again, she thought Fang Pingying would definitely come, believing everything was ready except for the final push.
She even packed all her belongings and brought them here, just waiting for Fang Pingying and Haohao to arrive, so she could find an opportunity to ask Xu He for money, then see Haohao, and head straight to the train station. Afterward, even if someone begged her to come to this hellish city, she might not return.
Naturally, as Zhou Yunmei was waiting, Xu He was also prepared.
Although Xu He was cooperating with Liu Fengsheng, she was actually wary of him. She knew that while Liu Fengsheng sought revenge on Fang Pingying, his indecisive nature meant he might not act too extremely.
Even if, at a critical moment, Liu Fengsheng loses his sanity when provoked by her, Xu He suspects one or two words from Fang Pingying might make him switch sides.
So, to be cautious, Xu He privately paid a few men who lived in the same courtyard with her to help out. She told them Fang Pingying owed her money, and she was there to collect the debt. At her command, these men would help tie Fang Pingying up and deliver her to the designated place.
So, everything was ready on Xu He's side, just waiting for someone to show up.
However, they were naturally hiding in the shadows, not letting anyone find them, waiting for Fang Pingying to appear.
But Zhou Yunmei never expected that after waiting for a while at the agreed place with Luo Zhiming, she only saw Luo Zhiming appear with Haohao.
Moreover, Haohao seemed to remember she wasn't a good person. As soon as he saw her, he furrowed his little brow tightly, clinging to Luo Zhiming's side, refusing to come over and kept a wary eye on Zhou Yunmei.
Seeing this, Luo Zhiming crouched down and picked Haohao up, walked over to Zhou Yunmei, soothingly saying, "Haohao, this is grandma, say grandma."
Haohao carefully looked at Zhou Yunmei for a while, seemingly more convinced she wasn't good, his expression becoming more agitated. He slapped Luo Zhiming's shoulder with one hand and shouted, "Dad, she's not grandma, she's a bad person, take me away, she'll pinch me and hit me."
Luo Zhiming sighed bitterly at these words, surprised at the little guy's memory, remembering events from so long ago so clearly.
Still, he tried explaining to Haohao, "No, Haohao, listen to Dad, Grandma didn't know you were her grandson before, so she made a mistake, she won't act like before today."
Zhou Yunmei saw chubby little Haohao, feeling fondness, tried to hug him and smiled apologetically, "Yes, grandson, Grandma didn't know before."
Haohao firmly pushed Zhou Yunmei's hands away, clung to Luo Zhiming's neck, and began to cry loudly, "Dad, I want to go back, I don't want to be here."
Feeling helpless, Luo Zhiming couldn't bear to blame the child, so he somewhat reluctantly negotiated with Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, how about I take him back? When he's older and understands, I'll take him back to the countryside to visit you. At least you've seen him today, he doesn't like you, nothing more to say."
Zhou Yunmei didn't care much, ignoring Haohao's cries, and directly pulled Haohao down, placing him in front of her, holding him between her legs, then snapped at Luo Zhiming, "Why spoil the child so much, he's so young, what can he know."
Luo Zhiming couldn't handle Zhou Yunmei, so he had to sit down, letting Haohao stand beside him and Zhou Yunmei, softly comforting him and taking out the toy he bought earlier to distract the little guy. Children don't understand much; seeing the toy, he focused on playing with it, lying on Luo Zhiming's lap playing.
Seeing Haohao calm down a bit, Luo Zhiming finally relaxed, but still whispered to Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, you better hurry, if he starts crying again, I'll take him away."
Zhou Yunmei looked at Haohao, asked some questions about him, then remembered Fang Pingying hadn't come, and asked Luo Zhiming, "By the way, where's Fang Pingying? I said I wanted to see her."
Fang Pingying was called by Luo Honglan, Luo Zhiming wasn't sure, casually replied, "Maybe she hasn't arrived yet, Hong Lan made the call, maybe something came up."
Speculating it might be the case, Zhou Yunmei said, "Alright, let's wait here then, I'll watch Haohao, when Fang Pingying comes, you take Haohao away."
Luo Zhiming felt Zhou Yunmei had no good intentions towards Fang Pingying, he couldn't stop her, still urged her, "Mom, when sister-in-law comes, speak nicely, don't cause trouble..."
Before Luo Zhiming finished, Zhou Yunmei rolled her eyes and snapped, "I know, I won't do anything to her, besides, what can I do in my current state."
Luo Zhiming nodded, said nothing more, just stayed playing with Haohao by Zhou Yunmei's side, occasionally chatting with her.
Honestly, although Zhou Yunmei didn't like Fang Xiu taking care of Haohao, she thought Fang Xiu raised the child very well, the little guy seemed stronger than other kids and smart. Now, since he was willing to follow Luo Zhiming, it relieved her somewhat.
Looking at her son and grandson beside her, Zhou Yunmei felt very gratified. No matter what, Luo Zhiming was doing well, and seeing Haohao not rejecting him, she felt there would be someone to care for her in old age.
Thinking about having some money now, once home, she'd renovate the house, help Luo Zhiming find a wife, regardless of whether they have children or not.
Ultimately, among all her children, Zhou Yunmei favored Luo Zhiming the most.
Luo Zhiming played with Haohao by Zhou Yunmei's side for a while, since Haohao didn't like Zhou Yunmei, found nothing fun here, and got bored playing with toys, he stirred wanting to leave. But Zhou Yunmei, anxious about Fang Pingying's absence, grew impatient.
Not only Zhou Yunmei was anxious, but Xu He, hiding nearby, was also impatient. She secretly signaled Zhou Yunmei to come over.
