Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 828 - 823: Change of Heart

(These days the main text is really coming to an end, aoo aoo aoo.)

After Zhou Yunmei left Xu He's side, she found a place to calm down and think about whether to act as Xu He suggested.

She knew in her heart that if she really led Fang Pingying there, things probably wouldn't be as simple as Xu He said, which was just to settle accounts with Fang Pingying.

To truly settle accounts, there wouldn't be any need for such an elaborate setup; Xu He probably had other plans.

To be honest, given Zhou Yunmei's current resentment towards Fang Pingying, she wasn't worried about what Xu He would do to Fang Pingying. She was just afraid that if things got out of hand, it would fall back on her, bringing a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But if she went back on her word with Xu He, she couldn't bear losing that money. Xu He had promised it wouldn't be less than two thousand yuan, so adding that up it would be at least 4,000 yuan. 4,000 yuan, just the thought of it made her heartache.

There was also Xu He's threat; she was truly afraid that Xu He would keep pestering her or Luo Zhiming, making their lives restless.

In the current situation, it's true that Xu He, unafraid and seemingly reckless, had nothing to lose, not even her life, while Zhou Yunmei had no other way to balance against her.

Zhou Yunmei was still conflicted at this moment, as if she was standing at a crossroads, not knowing what to do.

But maybe some things are destined by heaven. She clearly thought she had purposely walked a path far away from where Xu He stayed yesterday, but coincidentally, it was close to the guesthouse where they stayed the previous night.

Just as she was sitting by the edge of a flower bed thinking, she unexpectedly ran into Luo Zhiming carrying several large bags of things.

When Luo Zhiming woke up last night and saw Zhou Yunmei was gone, he was as anxious as anything, searching downstairs but couldn't find her. He was sure Zhou Yunmei had run away and was planning to go to Luo Dashan's place to figure something out.

Unexpectedly, as he stepped outside, he ran into Zhou Yunmei. He immediately walked over, grabbed Zhou Yunmei's arm as if afraid she would run away again, holding her tightly as he anxiously asked, "Mom, what are you doing here? Where did you go last night? I was worried sick looking for you."

"I…" Zhou Yunmei was startled as well when she saw Luo Zhiming; she hadn't realized where she was, unaware that it was near the guesthouse.

When it sunk in, she stammered, "I just wanted to take a walk last night, didn't expect to get lost. I just found a place to sit for the night."

"You…" Luo Zhiming didn't believe Zhou Yunmei's excuse, but anyhow, since she hadn't left, he felt there wasn't a big problem. He sighed and said, "Forget it, whatever the case, as long as you didn't leave, we should head to the train station."

"To the train station?" Zhou Yunmei seemed suddenly awakened, looking at Luo Zhiming, "Does your father still insist on divorcing me?"

Luo Zhiming saw Zhou Yunmei like this and was a bit puzzled, "Didn't Dad say it very clearly last night?"

If yesterday Zhou Yunmei was left with no choice and forced to divorce Luo Dashan, now she had a choice. Regarding that matter with Xu He, she was still somewhat indecisive and thought about leaving the decision up to Luo Dashan and them.

If Luo Dashan was willing to forgive her, she would tell them Xu He's current whereabouts and Xu He's plan to harm Fang Pingying. On the contrary, she would agree with Xu He; after all, these people had driven her into a corner.

Thus, she shoved Luo Zhiming's hand away, refusing to go to the train station, instead adamantly saying, "No way, I want to meet with your dad, I want to ask him if he's really going to be so heartless."

"Hey…" Luo Zhiming felt somewhat helpless. He knew his mom wouldn't be this obedient, but didn't expect her to change her mind at this moment.

Zhou Yunmei, seeing Luo Zhiming's reluctance to agree, simply played the rogue, "If you don't let me see him today, I won't go to the train station no matter what. I don't believe you can forcibly drag me there."

Luo Zhiming, seeing her say this, had no choice but to agree, "Fine, fine, I'll call Dad and have him wait at home."

So, Luo Zhiming, holding Zhou Yunmei's hand and another carrying things, found a place nearby to make a call to Luo Dashan. Upon hearing that Zhou Yunmei refused to go to the train station, he agreed for them to come home to discuss again.

When Luo Zhiming and Zhou Yunmei arrived at Luo Dashan's place, besides Dashan, Luo Honglan was also there. Luo Honglan saw the two coming, said nothing, just sat on the bed in silence.

Luo Dashan was sitting in the room too, watching Zhou Yunmei and them come in, also saying nothing, but seeming slightly impatient, considering they had agreed yesterday, and now she's backtracking.

But Zhou Yunmei, once inside, said nothing, directly knelt in front of Luo Dashan, crying and pleading, "Dashan, I beg you, don't divorce me. I know this time I went too far, I'll change. In the future, I'll follow you closely, never stepping out the front door, if you let me go east, I won't go west. Whatever you say at home goes, I won't contradict you in the slightest."

"Zhou Yunmei, do you think saying this now has any meaning?" Luo Dashan was very clear this time and decided firmly to divorce. He pushed Zhou Yunmei away, frowned at her, and asked, "Don't ask if I believe you, ask if these two kids believe you."

Luo Honglan, hearing Luo Dashan mention her, pursed her lips, looking slightly impatient at Zhou Yunmei, said, "We agreed on this yesterday, why change today, what's the point."

"Besides, Dad didn't say he would do anything to you, just divorce and you living quietly in the countryside, nothing wrong with that."

Luo Zhiming also quickly advised Zhou Yunmei, "Yes, Mom, you agreed to it yesterday, why resist now…"

Before Luo Zhiming could finish, Zhou Yunmei's expression suddenly changed. She glared at her two children and yelled at them, "Both of you shut up! I shouldn't have given birth to you. How could children encourage their parents to divorce? You really think with the little benefits from Luo Zhiyong you've forgotten who your real mother is."

After speaking, her gaze turned to Luo Dashan, her face no longer pleading, but with a certain resolve, staring at Luo Dashan, demanding, "Luo Dashan, I'm just asking, is this marriage definitely over? This time, no matter how I plead, how I beg, will you not change your mind?"
