Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 787 - 782: Who Allowed You to Insult My Wife?

However, at this moment, Taotao couldn’t appreciate this warmth. She gritted her teeth and spoke insincerely, "I-I am also part of the Liu family, and I don’t want anything to happen to the Liu family."

Fang Pingying saw her like this and had to speak the truth, "But we have no connection between us. Why do you think I should comply with your plea?"

"I..." Taotao paused. Yes, why should anyone agree to her request? At this moment, she felt like retreating. She turned to glance at Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu only glanced at her knee, hinting that she hadn’t tried hard enough.

Then, Mrs. Liu made a gesture of taking money, meaning that if she wanted to save her son with money, she should try to work for her.

Regarding her son, Taotao had no choice but to grit her teeth, follow Mrs. Liu’s words, suddenly kneel in front of Fang Pingying, tears of humiliation in her eyes, and plead again, "Miss Fang, I beg you, seeing me at such an age kneeling on the ground to beg you, help our Liu family. When I have the ability in the future, I will definitely find a way to repay your great favor..."

She said a lot to Grandma, all of which were promises of how she would repay Fang Pingying in the future when she had the capability.

But Fang Pingying did not take in a word. She looked at the woman kneeling in front of her, frowned slightly, and could see that the woman was not voluntarily doing or saying these things, yet she did them without hesitation. What was going on?

Could it be that she had some leverage being held by Mrs. Liu, forcing her to do this?

Previously, Fang Pingying might not have believed the Liu family would be so despicable, but now she felt the Liu family was exactly the type capable of such actions.

When in need, even if they previously gave you a tiny favor, they quickly demand repayment, exaggerating that favor immensely, making you feel as if without it you’d surely be doomed.

In truth, they gained quite a lot from that so-called favor.

Perhaps this aunt really had something urgent to request from Mrs. Liu, which is why she was treated like this.

However, Fang Pingying and this aunt were complete strangers. No matter how pitiful she seemed, she wouldn’t give up her original plan for her.

But, she didn’t say anything more to the aunt, merely looked at Mrs. Liu impatiently and said, "Mrs. Liu, I’m saying for the last time, the conditions I’ve set are final. If your Liu family doesn’t agree, we have nothing more to discuss. I believe at this point, nothing else can provide much help."

"You..." At this point, Mrs. Liu knew that Fang Pingying only had one path, thinking that if they really sold the supermarket, they could easily find any seller, so why beg Fang Pingying?

Since there’s no need to beg, she quickly became aggressive again, tugging the kneeling aunt aside and shouting at Fang Pingying, "Don’t think you’re special just because you have some dirty money; fortunes shift, and one day it’ll shift to us, then watch how I deal with you."

In Mrs. Liu’s ears, these words might not be cruel enough, or she thought they weren’t insulting enough to Fang Pingying, so she paused and, gritting her teeth, spoke a few harsh words, "Furthermore, a woman like you, I really can’t believe you have much skill to earn money, and God knows how dirty that money is. Only someone as lowly as you would do such things for money."

Upon hearing this, Fang Pingying felt a surge of anger, but she wasn’t in the mood to argue with Mrs. Liu. She simply looked at her and replied lightly, "Mrs. Liu knows so many things; it seems you’ve been doing such dirty deeds your entire life."

"You..."

Unwilling to listen any further, Fang Pingying stopped Mrs. Liu from continuing, looked at her coldly, and said, "Mrs. Liu, considering you’re Grandma Tingting, I allow you to rant on my turf once; if you continue, I won’t be polite."

Mrs. Liu also knew she was on Fang Pingying’s turf now. If anything went wrong, she’d gain no advantage, and if things couldn’t be salvaged, she wouldn’t know how to explain to her husband once she got home. She simply glanced at Fang Pingying hatefully and did not speak further.

Instead, she turned and vented her anger on Taotao, heavily pushing her behind, shouting, "Let’s go, why are you still standing here for nothing? Don’t expect me to agree to your matter."

Then she loudly called upstairs, "Tingting, come downstairs; it’s time to go home."

Tingting heard this upstairs, not wanting to go home, popped her head out from the stairway and shouted downstairs with a smile, "Grandma, I want to play here for a while, may I go back myself later?"

Mrs. Liu, upon hearing this, irritably shouted back, "Play what? Be careful you don’t get eaten here, come down quickly, and go home with me."

Tingting could see her grandmother was angry, so she pouted and came downstairs.

Upon reaching downstairs, she didn’t have time to greet Fang Pingying before being dragged away by Mrs. Liu.

Coincidentally, as they were about to leave, they encountered Luo Zhiyong, who had just returned from the army. Luo Zhiyong knew Tingting but not Mrs. Liu or Taotao.

Standing at the door, seeing them full of anger, he asked, "What’s going on here?"

Fang Pingying looked at Luo Zhiyong at the door, momentarily unsure how to explain, so she shrugged and said nothing.

However, Mrs. Liu saw Luo Zhiyong entering and, knowing Fang Pingying somewhat, guessed his identity. She sneered and, in a voice seemingly lowered yet audible to everyone, said, "Humph, how can you, a soldier, tolerate such things? Do you truly not know what your wife does for money?"

Luo Zhiyong’s face turned dark upon hearing this, blocking the doorway, looked down sternly at Mrs. Liu, and asked sharply, "Stop, who allows you to insult my wife?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Zhiyong continued, "And, who exactly are you?"

"What do you care who I am?" Mrs. Liu’s attitude was extremely arrogant, looking at Luo Zhiyong with disdain and saying, "And your ’permission,’ who do you think you are to talk about permission? Just because you are military personnel doesn’t make you superior. For someone like you, I could call up an entire company anytime."

After hearing this, Luo Zhiyong’s face grew darker, his gaze more chilling. He looked at Mrs. Liu and spoke coldly, "Military personnel are nothing special, no higher status, just ordinary people. But military personnel have a responsibility to protect their wives. This elder, I hope you clarify the matter. If it’s true, I welcome you to report it anywhere; we will absolutely cooperate. But if you are spouting nonsense, that’s slander, and you won’t be able to leave my home today."
