Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 10: Fang Xiu Gets Scolded

```

Recommendation, collection; recommendation, collection; recommendation, collection, important things must be said three times.------------

This phrase between the couple is teasing and bantering, but since it was Zhou Yunmei who fetched the water, it turned into Fang Xiu scolding her for being a fool who can't get things done.

Moreover, Zhou Yunmei's intention was to take care of her own son, but it turned out to be the mother-in-law serving her daughter-in-law, which naturally made her furious beyond measure.

But she had just had a conflict with her eldest daughter-in-law last night, and to start another quarrel with her younger daughter-in-law this early would surely invite criticism.

So, she kept it all in her heart without making a fuss right away.

After a while, everyone in the family got up and came to the kitchen to find Fang Pingying's fried rice smelled so fragrant that they couldn't stop praising it.

Even the normally unsociable Luo Cuilan joked with Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, I think Yingzi's culinary skills are not inferior to yours; our family will have someone to take over your duties in the future."

Zhou Yunmei glanced at Fang Pingying and then glared fiercely at Luo Cuilan, scolding her, "You have the nerve to talk about others; you should also learn how to cook properly, considering you are getting married to Jianguo by the end of the year."

Luo Cuilan, who feared Zhou Yunmei nagging her about these things, rolled her eyes, "Fine, fine, I'll learn when I have time, just stop harping on about it." After everyone finished washing up and gathered around the table ready to eat, Luo Zhiming and Fang Xiu were nowhere to be seen.

Just as Luo Honglan was about to call them, Zhou Yunmei slammed her utensils down on the table with a bang, "Don't bother calling them. If they don't want to eat, we'll eat. Whatever's left, give it to them; if nothing's left, then so be it."

"..." Luo Honglan retracted in fright.

The others were also startled, not understanding what was going on.

It is known that Zhou Yunmei seldom loses her temper with Luo Zhiming.

But Fang Pingying vaguely understood why Zhou Yunmei was upset, having overheard some of the conversation between Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiming in the courtyard.

Truth be told, Fang Pingying thought Zhou Yunmei's reaction wasn't unreasonable; any mother-in-law would get upset over this.

While they were still talking, Fang Xiu and Luo Zhiming emerged from the house.

They were clueless like fools, not noticing anything wrong with the atmosphere around the table. The moment Fang Xiu saw that the breakfast on the table wasn't the porridge she specified, her face soured, pointing at the bowl of fried rice, "This, for breakfast?"

"If you don't like it, don't eat it. No one is forcing you. Sleeping in and still being picky when you finally get up, as if this whole household is your servant or something," Zhou Yunmei finally let out the anger she had been suppressing all morning. There were no kind words as she spoke.

Fang Xiu was taken aback, anger flashed across her face, then she looked aggrievedly at Luo Zhiming.

Fang Pingying secretly sneered. In her previous life, Fang Xiu initially acted like a well-mannered daughter-in-law in the Luo Family, but when Luo Zhiming did not earn much money, she quickly showed her true colors, becoming a detestable daughter-in-law who clashed with Zhou Yunmei every day.

Seeing Fang Xiu with tears circling her eyes, Luo Zhiming felt distressed. He frowned deeply and glared at Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, what are you saying? Xiu'er just said a word, why go off on her like this? Xiu'er has always been pampered at my mother-in-law's house, what's wrong with her saying a bit?"

"You're the same; if you like it, eat it, if not, get lost. All I ever hear from you is your mother-in-law this, your mother-in-law that, go eat breakfast at your mother-in-law's house then!" Zhou Yunmei was thoroughly enraged, even lashing out at her most beloved Luo Zhiming today.

Luo Zhiming was actually useless, he had thought Zhou Yunmei would pamper him as she always did, so he dared to retort. But seeing that Zhou Yunmei scolded him too, he immediately dared not say more, pulling Fang Xiu obediently to the table to eat breakfast.

```

Fang Xiu didn't speak her mind, but inside she absolutely despised Zhou Yunmei. However, since Zhou Yunmei still called the shots at the moment, she dared not offend her.

But speaking of Fang Xiu and Luo Zhiming, Fang Pingying still remembered, it was because of the relationship between these two that she ended up marrying Luo Zhiyong.

Luo Zhiming was two years younger than Luo Zhiyong. Due to Luo Zhiyong having a position in the military, Luo Zhiming stayed in the countryside, working the fields with his parents, and so Zhou Yunmei felt sorry for this son at home and doted on him to her very bones.

Luo Zhiming was treated like a prince at home. He rarely worked in the fields despite living in the countryside.

When Zhou Yunmei and Luo Dashan went to work in the fields, he would either sleep soundly at home or hang out with the idle ruffians from town.

Somehow, Fang Xiu and Luo Zhiming got together and told their parents they wanted to get married.

The Luo Family, having a son like Luo Zhiyong, had grown arrogant and naturally looked down upon the destitute Fang Family.

As for Luo Zhiyong, he indeed did his family proud. Without any background, he entered the military and, relying on his abilities, rose to the rank of Battalion Commander at only twenty-six years of age, with a promising future ahead.

The Fang Family, with Fang Pingying's foster mother Li Yuchun, was short-sighted. With her two daughters of marriageable age, what she'd pondered most was whom to match them with.

Regarding Fang Pingying, being a foster daughter, Li Yuchun planned to make the most profit when marrying her off and wouldn't agree to her marriage until then. And so, Fang Pingying was still unmarried at twenty years old.

As for Fang Xiu, Li Yuchun had long schemed for her and initially intended to match her with Luo Zhiyong. However, when Li Yuchun went fishing for information at Zhou Yunmei's house, Zhou Yunmei flatly refused.

Li Yuchun remembered the day she took two yuan worth of brown sugar to Zhou Yunmei's house to test the waters. In the end, Zhou Yunmei accepted the brown sugar but tactfully rejected Fang Xiu's marriage to Luo Zhiyong.

At that time, Zhou Yunmei held her head high, arrogantly telling Li Yuchun, "My Zhiyong is now a big officer in the military. He'll marry an officer from the military, not some country person like you."

Fang Xiu's marriage proposal was a failure, and they even lost a pound of brown sugar. Li Yuchun was so angry she almost cursed Zhou Yunmei to her face but didn't dare. She returned home and cursed all the Luo Family members thoroughly.

Li Yuchun had lost all hope regarding the Luo Family, but hearing about Fang Xiu and Luo Zhiming, her mind started scheming again.

Even though Luo Zhiming was just an ordinary country boy, his family had an officer, and a brother would look out for his younger sibling. Perhaps Luo Zhiming could find a good job outside, and anyway, he was better than any ordinary country boy.

She didn't hesitate to agree.

And Zhou Yunmei was so quick to agree to the marriage between Luo Zhiming and Fang Xiu partly because of Luo Zhiming's pestering, and also because she was making plans for Luo Zhiyong.

Luo Zhiyong had injured his leg, and after secretly asking the town hospital's doctors, although they did not say it was incurable, their hesitant manner led Yunmei to believe there was a great chance that Luo Zhiyong's leg wouldn't heal properly.

So, she needed to make arrangements to marry him off; who else would take care of her later on?

Thus, Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong came to intersect.

In her past life, Fang Pingying had more than once sighed at the unfairness of fate towards her. But now, she felt that such a fate was better than anything else.
