Chapter 179 - 174: Bringing Him Back
Fang Pingying only then realized that what she thought was about the last incident.
However, speaking of that incident, since Qiu Lian asked, Fang Pingying did not hide it and spoke softly, "Not hiding it from you, there is such a matter. My younger brother and sister-in-law are young and naive, the couple haven’t seen each other for a long time, so..."
She paused awkwardly before continuing, "After the incident happened that day, Zhiyong scolded them thoroughly and has since forbidden them from visiting the military base again."
Qiu Lian, who has children herself and understands these matters, smiled and waved her hand, indicating that Fang Pingying shouldn’t worry too much, "It’s nothing serious. They’re a couple and it’s nothing shameful. Young people, everyone has been a youth, I understand."
Fang Pingying nodded, then remembered something else, "But I’m curious, normally, those young soldiers in the military wouldn’t gossip, who exactly spread this news?"
Qiu Lian was silent for a while, then looked out the window and leaned close to Fang Pingying to say, "Pingying, I heard this through the grapevine, someone said that it was Luo Chun who spread the news. She heard it when the young soldiers were reporting to Camp Chief Luo, she was listening inside the room. I don’t know who she spoke to, but it ended up being spread by others."
Fang Pingying was startled, "I never thought it would be Luo Chun who said it."
That night when the young soldiers came over, it was already quite late, and they spoke softly. Even Fang Pingying inside the door didn’t hear it clearly, but Luo Chun heard it. It seems that Luo Chun purposely paid attention to this idle matter and listened without missing a word.
Thinking of this possibility, Fang Pingying felt that from now on, she need not even maintain basic courtesy with Luo Chun, as she was utterly disrespectful and excessively meddlesome, with no regard for their previously good relationship, as if eager for her to be the laughingstock of the compound, spreading such matters everywhere.
"Forget it, Pingying, it’s already been spread, and it’s not a serious matter. Everyone has troublesome relatives at home," said Qiu Lian, seeing that Fang Pingying’s expression was not good and advised her, "Think about it, in my village, such things were quite common. I think the people in the compound will understand too, it’s just some gossipmongers who love to talk."
