Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Zhou Yunmei thought about her purpose for coming and stopped fussing with Luo Zhongyong about how much living expenses to give each month, and simply said, "Whether you give us more or less money doesn’t really matter, dad and I only need so much at home. But regarding your brother Zhiming, could you help pay off some of his debts..."

Originally, Zhou Yunmei planned to directly ask Luo Zhongyong to help pay them off, but upon seeing his displeased expression, she hesitated and tried to broach the subject.

Luo Zhiyong smiled wryly, having guessed Zhou Yunmei’s main purpose for coming, and raised an eyebrow at her, "Mom, did you come here just to ask me to pay off that US$ 500 for Zhiming?"

Seeing Luo Zhiyong look at her quietly, Zhou Yunmei suddenly felt embarrassed to say it directly, swallowing her words before speaking some comforting ones, "Zhiyong, mom knows you’ve done a lot for our family these years. Without you, we wouldn’t have had such good days. Now, asking you to suddenly cough up US$ 500, you probably can’t afford it, but your wife might have it, right? I heard Zhiming say her shop is doing well."

After hearing Zhou Yunmei’s words, Luo Zhiyong looked at her intently for a while, making Zhou Yunmei very uncomfortable. He then asked self-deprecatingly, "Mom, years of toiling for the family still aren’t enough, and now you want my wife to slave away for the family too?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei was displeased, "What are you saying? Who’s slaving away? The family hasn’t mistreated you."

"Hasn’t it? Over these years, do you really value Zhiming and me equally in your heart?" Luo Zhiyong sighed with a complex expression and looked around his newlywed house of a few months, "Not to mention anything else, just look at my room, and then look at Zhiming’s. I don’t need to say more, do I?"

At this point, Zhou Yunmei indeed felt guilty. She waved her hand, "Let’s not bring up the past. Once things get better at home, we’ll definitely redo your house."

Now, his wife has joined the army and Luo Zhiyong had no plans of returning soon. Moreover, his real intention wasn’t about wanting a better house, but rather feeling his wife was being mistreated.

He rubbed his forehead and frankly shared his thoughts, "Mom, let me tell you the truth. Yes, my wife and her partner opened a shop, and they’ve made some money these days, but that money she earned is hers. I know how hard it is for her to earn that money, and I won’t let anyone just take away the fruits of her labor so easily. Not just you, even I have no right to demand it."
