Chapter 134 Chapter 136 Why Retire
"Company commander, I have asked Wu Qi and the others to pay more attention to the yard where Doctor Rong and his team live during their night patrols." Wang Yiheng said to Liu Qingchen.
"Fortunately they didn't choose the central district, otherwise..."
"Yiheng, don't mention things that didn't happen! Also, we are not in the army anymore, why can't you change your mind?" Liu Qingchen frowned, looking a little unhappy.
"Haha, isn't this just a habit? I will change it, I will definitely change it." Wang Yiheng scratched his head and laughed.
"Brother Chen, you were promoted to full colonel and your shoulder straps were issued, so why did you submit your retirement report? Didn't you know that the world was going to change and you wanted to go home to protect your family?" Liu Qingchen wanted to retire at that time, and even the division commander personally came out to retain him, but he was determined and insisted on going home to take care of his mother. Then, in less than three months, everything changed.
Wang Yiheng had been holding these words in his heart for a long time. Seeing that Liu Qingchen was in a good mood today, he took the opportunity to ask the questions that had been on his mind for a long time.
When Liu Qingchen heard Wang Yiheng's question, he frowned slightly and his originally good mood turned bad.
"Grandma, why didn't you let my mother come over for dinner today? You were not in good health before, and my uncle has been in the army all year round, so it was my mother who took care of you. You often said that my mother was closer to you than your own daughter. Have you forgotten all this?" Liu Yihong was seventeen or eighteen years old, and was already 1.8 meters tall. He was probably in the period of growth. He was very thin, and his face was somewhat similar to Lu Huazhi. He spoke to Aunt Hu with some complaints.
Aunt Hu was rummaging through her old things. When she heard her grandson's words, she stopped what she was doing.
"Yihong! You have grown up and become a man of standing on your own feet. You have to know the truth of some things. You are asking this yourself, right? Why don't you ask your mother? Why doesn't your grandmother let her come to dinner?" Aunt Hu said with a gloomy expression!
"Go ask your mother why your uncle resigned from the army? And why did I fall ill in the afternoon?" As Aunt Hu spoke, a frost appeared on her usually amiable face.
When Liu Yihong saw Aunt Hu's expression, he remembered the strange expression on his mother's face when Yaoyao called him to eat but not his mother. He thought it was an expression of surprise and sadness at the time, but now thinking about it, it seemed like an expression of relief.
"Sister, that old woman is too much. They are eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, so it's fine if they didn't invite me, but why did they leave you behind? My brother-in-law has been gone for several years, and you have been taking care of Yihong by yourself, and serving that old woman wholeheartedly. She still treats you like this, you deserve to die." Lu Jinzhi's originally pretty face was filled with disgust and disdain when she mentioned Aunt Hu.
"You silly girl, keep your voice down. Have you forgotten how the old lady got sick this afternoon? You're speaking so loudly, as if you're afraid that others can't hear you." Lu Huazhi looked around and gave Lu Jinzhi a light slap on the back of her hand.
"Let me ask you, was what you said this afternoon true? Was Qingchen really forced to retire because of you?" Lu Huazhi asked in a low voice.
"What does it have to do with me? I was just trying to scare him, but who knew he would retire without saying a word. How can you blame me for his poor mental quality? Why should he look down on me when he has a father in prison?" Lu Jinzhi said with a spoiled and unconvinced expression.
"You silly girl, you told him about Qingchen's biological father. Didn't I tell you not to tell anyone?" Lu Huazhi patted her shoulder with a vicious look.
"Oh, sister, he was just a captain at the time. My group of girlfriends all said that I was a toad wanting to eat swan meat and that I was out of reach. If he really became a major, wouldn't he look down on me even more? I just wanted to get a marriage certificate with him before he was promoted to a higher rank. Who would have thought that he would find out the truth without saying a word, and submit a report of discharge without saying a word, and insisted on going home to serve his wife. He would rather ruin his own future than marry me. Humph! He deserves it!" Lu Jinzhi said angrily.
"Jinzhi, what can I say about you? Qingchen looks down on you, so you threaten him with his future. Why are you like this... Oh, it's my fault. I accidentally let it slip and let you know about it." Lu Huazhi said with a look of regret.
Lu Jinzhi secretly curled her lips, and seeing her sister sighing with a sad face, she went over and hugged Lu Huazhi's shoulders to coax her.
"Okay, sister, it's all over, it's all over. Besides, it's a good thing that Brother Qingchen has retired. If he were still in the army, who in your family, young and old, would be alive?" Lu Jinzhi said with great relief.
Lu Huazhi thought about it and realized that it made sense. The military district where Liu Qingchen served was in the northwest, which was far away from here. Before the troops came to rescue, several families in the town had lost all their loved ones. Otherwise, how could so many people leave their homes and follow the army into the safe zone?
"According to you, you've done a good thing?" Lu Huazhi couldn't help but give Lu Jinzhi a blank look.
"Of course, sister. Just think about it, how many people have died in the army rescuing civilians and killing monsters. Now that Brother Qingchen has retired from the army, not only has he taken care of the family, he has also been less in danger." Lu Jinzhi said with some pride.
"Stop your sweet talk here. The old lady suddenly fell ill in the afternoon, and it was you who made her angry. Now that the old lady has woken up, I don't even have the face to go near her." Lu Huazhi angrily shook off Lu Jinzhi's arm and said unhappily!
"Hmph, it's all that woman's fault for meddling in other people's business. It was clear in the afternoon that the old woman was going to die. As long as she died, who would know why she got sick?" Lu Jinzhi said angrily.
"Aunt, what do you mean by this?" Liu Yihong had just walked in when he heard Lu Jinzhi's words. His face couldn't help but darken.
"Yihong, your aunt didn't say anything. Isn't it because your grandma didn't call me for dinner and she's feeling sorry for me? She was just saying that in anger. Don't think too much about it!" Lu Huazhi quickly responded, and from a perspective that Liu Yihong couldn't see, she winked at Lu Jinzhi, telling her to leave quickly.
"Mom, you are treating me like a child. I just came from grandma's place. Grandma asked me to ask you why she fell ill in the afternoon? Do you know about this?" Liu Yihong asked with a frown.
"She can't get angry because of her illness. She just loves to get angry, and when she gets angry, she gets sick. Who can she blame?" Lu Jinzhi's expression was all made up by herself.
"Then why did your uncle resign from the army?" Liu Yihong asked. When his uncle retired and returned home, he said that he had offended his superiors. However, if he had really offended his superiors, how could he have been promoted? Your uncle is just in his early thirties and has a bright future. Why did he retire?
