Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 93 - 88: Two Mothers-in-Law’s Magical Duel (360+)

Fang Pingying nodded, Luo Honglan was not wrong in what she said. Focusing on spending alone, Fang Xiu and his wife indeed spent too much, and they themselves hardly made any money.

If it were just Luo Zhiming going to get the money, that would be one thing, because in Zhou Yunmei’s eyes, even though her son was married, he was still her own son, and she was willing to spend less herself to save money and give it to Luo Zhiming.

But giving money to Fang Xiu, she definitely wouldn’t be happy about it.

Moreover, because Luo Zhiming always did this and that for Fang Xiu in front of the whole family, Zhou Yunmei would feel upset watching it, feeling like she always treated her son like a treasure, willing to help him with anything, but after getting married, he was treating someone else like a servant, which she couldn’t stand.

Probably the irritation Zhou Yunmei felt had been accumulating inside for a long time and today was merely an opportunity to vent it all out. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

After Fang Pingying and Luo Honglan chatted in the room for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, the two went to cook lunch.

Yesterday at the market, Zhou Yunmei didn’t buy much, so Fang Pingying could only make do with what was in the house.

She had Luo Honglan stew a pot of rice while she herself chopped two bitter gourds and had them soaked in saltwater, planning to fetch a couple of eggs from home later to make stir-fried bitter gourd with eggs.

In addition, she prepared a dish of braised eggplant and seeing a bundle of glass noodles in the top of the cupboard, decided to soak them in warm water to cook with cabbage in a stew, which should be enough for the family for noon.

By noontime, Fang Pingying had finished preparing the meal, but other than the three of them, no one else had come back yet, so she and Luo Honglan were picking dates they had bought from Chen Rong’s village at the front of the courtyard while waiting for others to come for the meal.

After waiting for a while, they heard voices from outside, Luo Honglan thought it was Zhou Yunmei and the others returning, so she jumped up saying, "Finally back, we can eat now, after waiting so long, all the dishes must have gone cold."

But Fang Pingying heard that the voices seemed a bit off, not just Zhou Yunmei’s voice, it seemed like Li Yuchun was also there.

She stopped Luo Honglan, put down what she was doing, and walked out toward the courtyard.

Sure enough, not far from the courtyard door, it wasn’t just Zhou Yunmei and Luo Dashan who had come back, but also Fang Xiu and Fang Ping’an, together with Li Yuchun and his wife.

At that moment, Li Yuchun and Zhou Yunmei seemed to be arguing, Zhou Yunmei kept pointing at her own face for others to see, while Li Yuchun held a clump of black material in his hand, showing it to everyone.

Fang Pingying looked closely and realized it was hair, probably the hair that Zhou Yunmei had pulled out from Fang Xiu earlier.

Luo Dashan and Fang Ping’an were on the side trying to intervene, and many villagers were nearby watching the excitement.

Fang Pingying frowned, went outside the courtyard, and without saying anything, just thought about calling them all into the house first.

Their family was indeed a bit different from other people’s, having relations at both ends, causing a big scene would also become a laughing stock.

But both Zhou Yunmei and Li Yuchun were tough nuts to crack, both arguing vigorously and refusing to come inside no matter what.

No choice, Fang Pingying had to nod at Luo Dashan and the others, and several people forcibly pulled the two inside the house.

Zhou Yunmei was okay, she was dragged into the yard by Luo Dashan alone, but Li Yuchun just refused to enter the house. She felt her daughter was wronged. Just now, Zhou Yunmei was spreading bad things about her daughter all over the village. Someone had specially come to inform her about it.

So she ran to argue with Zhou Yunmei. Now, while the villagers were around, she needed to clarify that the bad things Zhou Yunmei said about her daughter were false, otherwise the villagers might think their daughter really beat up her mother-in-law.

But as the saying goes, even fair officials find it hard to settle domestic disputes. Who would come out and speak fairly about the quarrels between these two in-laws? Everyone just treats it as a spectacle.

Fang Pingying, together with Fang Ping’an, ignored Li Yuchun’s objections and practically carried her into the Luo Family’s yard.

After entering the yard, Fang Pingying advised, "Mom, you all stop arguing, talk calmly, arguing won’t solve anything."

But who would have known, upon hearing this, Li Yuchun suddenly stopped making noise and glared fiercely at Fang Pingying.

Then, she shook off Fang Pingying’s arm that was holding hers and scolded her, "You useless thing, your own sister got beaten up like that, and you don’t even dare to say a word. What kind of sister are you?"

Fang Pingying was startled, not expecting Li Yuchun to suddenly start scolding her.

But before she could respond, Zhou Yunmei started to taunt in a mocking tone, "Look at this, this kind of mother breeds such a fierce daughter as Fang Xiu, and she even needs two daughters to gang up and fight against me, her mother-in-law. The Fang Family really lacks upbringing."

"The Luo Family really is unlucky, to have married two daughters from the Fang Family. From now on, our life as in-laws is going to be miserable."

Luo Dashan, hearing Zhou Yunmei’s words becoming more biased, shouted at her, "Speak properly, don’t drag Zhiyong’s wife into this, she hasn’t provoked you today."

Zhou Yunmei was furious. Seeing Li Yuchun coming, she wished she could trample Li Yuchun underfoot. Since Fang Pingying was also Li Yuchun’s daughter, she felt speaking together would be more persuasive.

Regardless of whether it would offend Fang Pingying, she provocatively said to Li Yuchun, "What’s wrong with what I said? She didn’t provoke me today, but she’s still no good. Ever since she married into the family, look how stingy she’s been at home, almost starving our entire family to death. Isn’t this a problem with your Fang Family’s upbringing?"

Today’s issue between Fang Xiu and Zhou Yunmei, after being scolded by them, Fang Pingying didn’t say much anymore, she didn’t even try to intercede. Why should Zhou Yunmei be pointing at her nose and cursing her now?

She wasn’t going to stick up for the Fang Family, but she had to stand up for herself.

Her expression darkened, she stared coldly at Zhou Yunmei and said, "Mom, if you want to solve the problem, talk about the specific issue, don’t drag the conversation through the mud, and stop constantly criticizing other people’s upbringing. If it comes to arguing, whether it’s between in-laws or husband and wife, it takes two to clap."

Li Yuchun thought Fang Pingying spoke very well, she instantly laughed out loud and then sarcastically said,

"That’s true, even if our Fang Family’s upbringing is poor, at least we don’t have a daughter who got pregnant before marriage more than once. And what’s worse is, her baby’s father refused to marry her, not even holding a wedding feast — truly a disgrace."

"Aunt Yuchun, what are you talking about? You argue with my mom, I didn’t offend you, why speak so harshly?" Luo Cuilan, who had heard the noise outside and came out from inside the house, saw Li Yuchun discussing her matters, naturally she would not just let it go.

She walked over, mouth pouting and said sarcastically, "Me getting pregnant was my bad luck, but don’t think your daughter could be any better; she is still being laughed at behind her back."
