Chapter 244 - 239: Winning Favor
Luo Zhiyong felt helpless; he hadn’t anticipated that Huang Lin’s tragedy would replay itself on him.
He wanted to have a serious talk with Zhou Yunmei but feared that Fang Pingying might hear, so he whispered to her, "Mom, don’t make rash decisions, it’s only been over two months, what can you check for."
"True, should wait at least four months before checking, remember to take your wife to the hospital then for a look," Zhou Yunmei said, her mind already tallying up Fang Pingying’s days, planning to find a way to take her to the hospital when it’s been four months.
Luo Zhiyong didn’t respond to her; stopped talking, thinking it was better to speak to her in private later.
"Mom, what were you saying to my big brother?" Luo Zhiming arrived in the clothes Fang Xiu had bought for him and started to show off in front of Zhou Yunmei, "Look, Xiu’er bought me this, nice, eh?"
"Nice," Zhou Yunmei felt the fabric of Luo Zhiming’s clothes and smiled lightly, casually asking, "This must’ve been expensive, right?"
"Not too bad, 20 yuan," Luo Zhiming said, touching his clothes with a smile, feeling that his daughter-in-law was really too kind for spending so much on him.
When Zhou Yunmei heard it was 20 yuan, she was shocked and started yelling, "What, 20 yuan? That woman really knows how to waste money, 20 yuan could cover the new year for our whole family, and she spent it all on your clothes?"
"Mom, don’t worry, Xiu’er isn’t treating you unreasonable," Luo Zhiming hurriedly said, fearing that Zhou Yunmei’s words might be overheard by Fang Xiu outside, he took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yunmei, "Here, this is five yuan for you to spend during New Year’s."
Zhou Yunmei truly didn’t expect Fang Xiu to give her money for New Year’s and was surprised once more.
But having money given to her made her naturally happy. She quickly wiped her hands on her apron, took the money, and asked with a smile, "For me?"
Fang Xiu just came in from outside and upon hearing Zhou Yunmei’s question, lightly explained with a smile, "It’s not exactly for you, it’s for the household expenses. We need some money for New Year’s, I don’t have much, but I give what I can."
