Chapter 205 They Came to the Door

Zhou Fangfang felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to return the betrothal money to Li Hongxing. However, after thinking for a moment, Li Hongxing opened the cabinet and took out some cash and bills from it.

The tickets were all issued by the military camp. Li Hongxing lived and ate in the military camp and had never married, so he naturally didn't need these things. As a result, he accumulated more and more tickets, eventually forming such a large stack.

As for the money, it was all small change, some in small amounts and some in larger amounts.

Li Hongxing gave all these things to Zhou Fangfang, saying, "Take these for now. If you need more, just ask me again."

Zhou Fangfang: "?"

She originally intended to return the betrothal money to Li Hongxing, but Li Hongxing seemed to have misunderstood her meaning. He seemed to think that he didn't have enough money, so he gave her so much more.

Zhou Fangfang quickly replied, "No need, I have money."

Li Hongxing said, "Money will eventually run out. Keep this money for now. You'll need to buy things every day. I see the child is a bit thin, so buy him more nutritious food."

When her son was mentioned, Zhou Fangfang fell silent. Her son was indeed very thin, after all, he was always hungry before. Every time she finished her work, she could only eat some leftovers. Her son naturally suffered along with her. Only in the last few days had she experienced a normal life.

Zhou Fangfang eventually accepted the money.

However, she didn't dare to spend the money recklessly.

She had too many cloth coupons, so she bought some cloth and made clothes from it. She made several clothes for her son, and of course, she also made several sets of clothes for Li Hongxing and Li Hongxing's mother.

Originally, it was thought that Li Hongxing's mother would dislike it, but to her surprise, she put on the clothes that very day and praised her to everyone she met for being virtuous.

This was something Zhou Fangfang had never expected.

Even if she did her job very well before, the Wang family would only look down on her and would criticize her in front of outsiders.

This was the first time she had received recognition, and the feeling was somewhat peculiar. She couldn't quite describe how she felt, but she did feel happy.

After seeing the clothes, Li Hongxing quickly put them on. However, he didn't wear them when he went to work at the military camp, but he wore them at home.

Zhou Fangfang and Li Hongxing's mother took turns cooking. Sometimes Zhou Fangfang would cook lunch and Li Hongxing's mother would cook dinner. After Li Hongxing finished eating, he would wash the dishes. Their family atmosphere was very harmonious, something Zhou Fangfang had never experienced before.

She suddenly realized that living like this wasn't so bad.

Actually, she only married into the family for the sake of the child. She didn't want anything else, she just wanted to take good care of the child. But now, she feels that something is different. At least she feels that her life is much better than she imagined, so good that it's almost unreal.

Gradually, Zhou Fangfang's complexion improved, and her skin became less dark. She used to be skin and bones, but now her face has gained some flesh, making it look round and plump, with a touch of delicate beauty and cuteness.

Even Li Hongxing's mother noticed, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You're actually quite good-looking, and you look young too."

"Really?" Zhou Fangfang was taken aback.

Actually, when she was young, some people said she was good-looking. It was because of her good looks that the Wang family took a liking to her and traded her for a pound of corn to be their daughter-in-law. But later, she worked tirelessly every day and became very haggard. She never paid attention to her appearance again.

Of course, besides her, even her son has become chubby and fair-skinned. His features resemble hers, and he looks very delicate and beautiful.

He would call her "Mom" in a soft, gentle voice.

Now everyone around knows him. Because his son is good-looking, everyone is happy to play with him. Life goes on like this. Since that day, she and Li Hongxing have been sleeping in the same bed. Although nothing has happened between them, they have become much closer.

Sometimes, Zhou Fangfang felt that they were a real couple.

So, it's fine to live like this for the rest of my life.

Anyway, as long as Li Hongxing treats her and her son well, she will treat him well in return.

Zhou Fangfang got to know Li Hongxing better and better. She knew that Li Hongxing liked spicy food, so that day she picked a lot of millet peppers and took them home, planning to stir-fry some peppers with meat, then smash some cucumber, and then make an egg drop soup. That would be all she needed.

Li Hongxing's family eats meat almost every few days, and their quality of life is very good. Because she eats well, her spirits have also improved.

Just as she was carrying a plate of chili peppers back home, someone suddenly stopped her.

The sun was quite strong today, and the sunlight was dazzling. She couldn't see the other person's face clearly. Sweat dripped from her forehead. She simply moved aside, but the person actually moved aside and blocked her way as well.

"You go first," Zhou Fangfang said.

She wasn't one to cause trouble and could have let the other person go first, but that person suddenly grabbed her hand.

Zhou Fangfang looked up and realized that the other person was actually Wang Dazhi.

Running into Wang Dazhi here is really bad luck.

She shook off Wang Dazhi's hand and tried to leave, but Wang Dazhi blocked her way.

He glared at her and said angrily, "Zhou Fangfang, are you crazy? What exactly do you want to do?"

Zhou Fangfang: "?"

Are you out of your mind? What I do is none of your business!

She had no intention of having anything to do with Wang Dazhi, and she didn't want to see him again, but unexpectedly, Wang Dazhi actually took the initiative to come to her door, which was outrageous.

Wang Dazhi's face was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what you've done these past few days? You've made me lose all face. What are people saying about me? It's all your fault!"

Zhou Fangfang said speechlessly, "I haven't done anything these past few days, don't wrong me."

"You didn't do it? You've been staying by Li Hongxing's side all this time, and that's the biggest insult to me. Now everyone knows my wife ran off with someone else, and they say I'm being cuckolded!"

“They said I couldn’t even keep my own wife and son in check, that I was a failure.”

Zhou Fangfang said, "What do you mean you can't keep an eye on him? Isn't this something you wanted to do yourself? You insisted on giving your son to Hongxing; it was all your decision."

"Red Star? You're calling it that so affectionately now."

He said angrily, "You come back with me right now. Let me tell you, you are my wife. You have been married to me for a long time. You can't go anywhere. My family has raised you for so long. You want to abandon me now? Absolutely not."

After saying that, he grabbed Zhou Fangfang's hand and tried to forcibly take her back.
