Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Xu He was elated upon hearing this and couldn't wait to pull Luo Zhiming along, "That would be great, let's go see the houses now."

"No rush, house matters can be taken slowly, such a big matter definitely can't be settled in a day or two." Luo Zhiming's eyes flashed with a hint of guilt, he had only got two thousand yuan, nowhere near enough to afford a house, he was just placating Xu He.

But he pretended to be full of style on the surface, "Go ask for leave, I'll take you out to eat, let's have a good meal today."

Xu He felt that made sense; buying a house shouldn't be rushed and immediately smiled in agreement, "Okay, then wait for me, I'll go ask for leave."

Xu He went back to the factory with the gold necklace to pack up her things.

While packing, she deliberately rolled up her sleeves to expose the gold necklace, letting a few women who usually liked to mock her see it.

These city girls liked to make things difficult for Xu He because she was prettier than them, sweet-talked the bosses, and liked to tattle, so they couldn't tolerate her.

They had nothing else to make things difficult about, so they naturally picked on her for being a rural person.

Now seeing the gold necklace on her wrist, envy clearly surfaced in their hearts, but they refused to show it on their faces.

One of them, a slightly plump girl named Chunyun, approached Xu He and pointing to her wrist, asked, "That chain on your hand couldn't possibly be real gold, could it?"

"Do you think I'm like you, wearing those several dollars fake things?" Xu He cast a disdainful glance at Chunyun, her tone full of arrogance, "If Xu He wears something, it has to be the best or nothing at all."

Chunyun scoffed and rolled her eyes, asking with a pout, "Who gave it to you then?"

"My boyfriend." After that, Xu He gave Chunyun and the other girls nearby another look, adding on purpose, "My boyfriend is a businessman, he earns quite a lot each month."

"That man outside?" Chunyun and the others had heard someone was looking for Xu He and had sneakily gone to see, spotting Luo Zhiming.

Honestly speaking, Luo Zhiming was quite a good-looking fellow, tall and fair-skinned, and having dressed up especially well today, Xu He felt proud to show him off, confidently nodding her head, "Yes, he's from the city, we're getting married soon."

Having said that, seeing the envy in the eyes of the other girls, Xu He felt deeply gratified, packed up her things, and with a swish of her hips, greeted the women, "I'm leaving first, going to have a meal with my boyfriend."

Having gained face in front of those women, Xu He felt much better, and her demeanor toward Luo Zhiming improved significantly.

After coming out of the factory entrance, she even actively took Luo Zhiming's arm and cooed, "Brother Zhi Ming, where are we going to eat?"

"You decide where to go, but…" Luo Zhiming, charmed by Xu He's coquettish tone, felt all buttered up, but subconsciously knew it was his style today that Xu He liked, thus he even more so put on airs, "We're not going to places like last time, everywhere was dirty and the food wasn't good, we at least need to find a decent restaurant."

"Go to a big restaurant, that sounds good." Xu He smiled and agreed, then glanced at her clothes, somewhat dissatisfied, and suggested, "Can I go back to change my clothes first?"

Luo Zhiming smirked and waved his hand, pointing to a small department store not far away, "No need to exchange, we'll just go to the nearby mall and buy a new outfit."

Xu He was quite happy to hear that, but she pretended to be a bit embarrassed, "The clothes there are pretty expensive; I usually don't shop there."

"I'll pay for it, don't worry about the cost." After saying that, Luo Zhiming pulled Xu He along and walked forward, "Let's go."

Compared to a gold chain, clothes weren't that expensive; Xu He bought a dress and a pair of high heels, which together cost only US$ 100.

In Xu He's eyes, these clothes were not cheap, but Luo Zhiming didn't blink an eye when paying, and even urged Xu He to pick another dress for replacement.

Xu He was a smart woman, and though she wanted to buy more, she knew not to focus only on immediate benefits. She smiled and tactfully responded to Luo Zhiming, "Brother Zhi Ming, let's not buy anymore. Let's save the money. Didn't you say we should buy a house? Let's talk about it after buying the house, we have a life to live afterward."

After saying that, she firmly pulled Luo Zhiming out of the department store, indicating her determination not to buy more clothes.

Seeing Xu He act this way, Luo Zhiming felt delighted and held her hand, saying, "You really know how to plan for a life, not like Fang Xiu…"

As soon as he mentioned Fang Xiu, Luo Zhiming suddenly stopped.

But Xu He had already heard it, she didn't mind much and casually continued the topic, "By the way, what's happening with you and Fang Xiu?"

Luo Zhiming assured her, as if making a promise, "I've told my parents already, and they agree that I can divorce her. Once everything here is settled, I'll go back and finalize the divorce."

Upon hearing this, Xu He's expression turned unhappy, and she let go of the hand she was holding onto Luo Zhiming, "Ah, you haven't divorced yet?"

Feeling her reaction, Luo Zhiming quickly held Xu He's hand again and earnestly said, "Hehua, don't worry, I will definitely divorce Fang Xiu. She's pregnant with someone else's child; how could I tolerate her?"

"Will she agree?" In the past, Xu He wouldn't care about such matters, but now it was different. If Luo Zhiming truly was going to buy a house in the provincial city, she planned to marry him. Once they had a house in the city, she could become a city resident.

Actually, because of what Luo Zhiyong had forced upon her, Xu He's feelings for Luo Zhiyong had faded a bit; perhaps subconsciously, she felt like her body was tainted, and a man like Luo Zhiyong would disdain her, making her chances of being with him even more slim.

If Luo Zhiming could earn money and make her a city person, she was willing to follow Luo Zhiming and live a peaceful life with him.

Seeing Xu He doubt the divorce with Fang Xiu, he spat out angrily, "With such a disgraceful act, does she even have a say?"

Xu He nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

However, she was still worried about other members of the Luo family, and could not help but involuntarily think of Luo Zhiyong, so she cautiously asked, "What about your elder brother and sister-in-law? Fang Xiu is their sister after all."

Mentioning Luo Zhiyong, Luo Zhiming recalled how Luo Zhiyong had taken someone else's side at the hospital, and his anger surged uncontrollably, blurting out, "Don't talk about them. They'd probably prefer if I were dead, from now on I have nothing to do with them."

"Your matter?" Seeing him so agitated, Xu He sensitively observed Luo Zhiming, "What matter of yours?"
