Chapter 16 The Luo Family’s Extravagance
Take sending living expenses home, for example, Fang Pingying felt that he was overly indulgent towards the entire Luo Family.
He practiced frugality in the army, sending most of his earnings home every month, while people like Zhou Yunmei lived it up back at home, overindulging in food and drink.
In Fang Pingying's mind, regardless of what he did in the past, now that they were married, the two of them had their own life to live.
She had to plan their life together well. They couldn't just deprive themselves, begrudgingly splitting every penny in two, while letting the family back home spend money lavishly.
Indeed, Fang Pingying's strategy was correct. When Zhou Yunmei heard that the money was in Luo Zhiyong's hands, she recalled the look on his face when he asked her for money that morning, and with a sneer, she didn't pursue the matter further.
Fang Pingying, seeing her reaction, knew what she was thinking, smiled secretly to herself, and said nothing as she continued to cook noodles.
Zhou Yunmei lingered in the kitchen for a while and even inquired about Luo Zhiyong's leg injury.
Fang Pingying didn't directly say that Luo Zhiyong's injury was of little concern to prevent Zhou Yunmei from thinking it was nothing serious and not paying attention. She simply mentioned they had to visit the county next month to know when it would heal.
After hearing this, Zhou Yunmei didn't ask any more questions and left with a slightly grim face.
During the few days Fang Pingying stayed with the Luo Family, various small conflicts naturally arose from living together – mothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and daughters-in-law all mixing together. Just Zhou Yunmei alone was a sight how many times her expression darkened in a single day.
But luckily, these were just minor quarrels and nothing significant, so life went on regardless.
