Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 812 - 807: Call Her Cousin-in-law

Mrs. Liu found Liu Fengsheng’s words a bit amusing, because if you looked closely, Luo Zhiyong did bear some resemblance to Xiutao.

Besides, with what happened back then, both Luo Dashan and Xiutao knew the truth perfectly well, there could be no mistake.

She dismissed it lightly, saying, "What’s there to test? There can’t be a mistake about this, as if your aunt didn’t know what she did back then?"

After she finished speaking, seeing Liu Fengsheng still frowning tightly, she eagerly shared some good news with him, "And Fengsheng, let me tell you some good news as well; I’ve solved your supermarket issue."

"Today I went to ask Fang Pingying for help. She agreed to invest in your supermarket. She said she would come to take a look in a few days, and then immediately sign the contract. Once she invests, all our troubles will be solved, and you’ll still be the owner of the supermarket. She’s just a shareholder and won’t interfere with you."

Mrs. Liu originally thought that with such great news, Liu Fengsheng would be overjoyed because the whole family had been on edge because of this issue. Especially Liu Fengsheng, who would go out full of hope early every morning, but always return dejected at night. She knew he couldn’t solve it on his own.

Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Liu Fengsheng became extraordinarily agitated. He stood up from the sofa and yelled at Mrs. Liu, "Mom, I told you I would solve my problems myself. Who asked you to beg her? Do you know why I’m doing all this? It’s to show her my ability, to make her regret marrying someone as worthless as Luo Zhiyong. Now you go groveling to her for help, am I supposed to bow my head before her in the future?"

Mrs. Liu was momentarily stunned by his yelling, but after understanding his words clearly, she also realized her son’s mindset. It was nothing more than the fact that he felt humiliated as he had lost to Fang Pingying before and now had to ask for help, which was hard for a man’s pride to swallow.

In Mrs. Liu’s view, no matter how important a man’s pride is, it could never be more important than the future of her son and the family’s fate.

She smiled and gently comforted Liu Fengsheng, saying, "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? You have to call her cousin now when you see her; we’re all family. What does it matter if you bow your head?"

Hearing the word "cousin," Liu Fengsheng felt even more stifled. His anger brewed intensely, but he couldn’t express this stifling feeling to his parents. Enraged, he kicked the sofa and continued to shout at Mrs. Liu, "How does it not matter? How am I supposed to face Fang Pingying in the future if you flatter her like this?"

Seeing that Liu Fengsheng, who was normally calm, reacted so severely, Mrs. Liu thought it over and realized the crux of the matter. No one knows a son better than his mother, and she could see very well that Liu Fengsheng had feelings for Fang Pingying.

But at a time like this, do feelings really count for anything?

She sighed, took his hand, and gently advised him, "Fengsheng, I know you liked Fang Pingying before, even thinking of taking her away when their marriage was rocky. But love has its order; they already have two kids, why get involved now? If you truly want to get married, once this is over, I’ll find someone nice for you."

These words made Liu Fengsheng even more ashamed and angry. He gritted his teeth and pushed Mrs. Liu aside, "Mom, what marriage are you talking about? Stop changing the subject. I’m talking about you asking Fang Pingying for help."

"Anyway, let me make it clear: I, Liu Fengsheng, would rather go to jail than accept Fang Pingying’s help. I didn’t ask you to humiliate yourself by going to her. Why did you take matters into your own hands? Do you think so little of me, that I can’t handle this?"

"Besides, even if it truly can’t be handled, I’d rather let it all fall apart and the supermarket close. They can lock me up if they want; I’m not worried, so why are you worrying so much today?"

After failing in this matter, Liu Fengsheng had considered many solutions but had never thought of asking Fang Pingying. In fact, he was willing to go to jail first.

Because he couldn’t bear to hang his head before Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong, to him that was worse than going to jail, which is why he reacted so strongly.

When Liu Fengsheng pushed Mrs. Liu, he didn’t notice the strength he used, pushing her against the corner of the coffee table, causing her forehead to bleed immediately.

Mr. Liu saw it, squinted his eyes, helped Mrs. Liu up, and angrily slapped Liu Fengsheng.

After that, he pointed at him and scolded fiercely, "What’s with this attitude? Do you know how your mother hasn’t been sleeping well because of your problem? How many methods she’s thought of, how many people she’s relied on, and finally found someone willing to help. Not only are you not moved, but you also blame her like this. Is that how you are as a son?"

"And do you really think this is just your problem? Don’t you know if this isn’t resolved soon, the whole family will suffer? Is that how you want everyone to live because of your little pride?"

He paused and scolded further, "Besides, how did I raise you? You liked Fang Pingying, spent time and effort pursuing her, and still lost to Luo Zhiyong. That just means you’re not as good as him. That’s on you, so what are you getting wild at home for now?"

"I’m telling you, I was the one who sent your mom to ask Fang Pingying. With great effort, she agreed, so you must accept the investment. If you feel you can’t face Fang Pingying, then just stay far away from her; don’t even cross paths. But this matter is settled, no more debating."

"You..." Liu Fengsheng, sobered a bit by the slap, looked at his mother with some guilt and wanted to check on her injury.

But Mr. Liu blocked him, glaring at him and gritting his teeth, "Go, go reflect on yourself."

Watching Liu Fengsheng’s discouraged back, Mrs. Liu was still incredibly worried, "Mr. Liu, will there be any problems with our son like this?"

After all, as a mother, no matter how her son treated her, she always worried about his safety.

This child, from young to now, whether it was studying or getting married, everything had been smooth. Even the divorce from his ex-wife was because she wronged him. But now, facing this significant setback, he seemed unable to handle it all, and his character had changed a lot. Mrs. Liu felt like he wasn’t her gentle son anymore.

Mr. Liu was also worried, but a father’s approach to his son is different. He snorted, scolding, "A man needs the strength to both bend and stand. If anything happens, it’s just because he isn’t capable enough."
