Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 777 - 772: Make Up or Break Up Completely

(I’ll check today and update with another Chapter this afternoon.)

The next day, taking advantage of the lunch break, Luo Zhiyong didn’t delay and went straight to Luo Dashan’s place.

Because of yesterday’s incident, Luo Dashan still didn’t know how to face Luo Zhiyong. When he saw him coming, he felt a bit awkward and wanted to bring up the past on his own, "Zhiyong, actually about those things from the past, I..."

Luo Zhiyong didn’t want to know what happened back then at all. He directly interrupted Luo Dashan’s words, "Forget it. The past is between you all. I don’t want to ask, nor do I care. I have no interest in who my biological mother is, nor do I want to know who that so-called real mom of mine is."

These words from Luo Zhiyong made Luo Dashan even more uncomfortable, because the more Luo Zhiyong was like this, the more Luo Dashan felt that he indeed made a mistake back then. If he could have resisted temptation, would the current situation have happened, and would Luo Zhiyong’s identity be so awkward?

Luo Zhiyong noticed Luo Dashan’s thoughts, and his expression relaxed a bit. He explained to Luo Dashan, "Dad, I don’t regret coming into this world. What I mean is that I now have a wife, children, and I’m living well. Whether I have a real mom or not doesn’t matter, and I’m too old to need a mother who cares and looks after me, right?"

This explanation from Luo Zhiyong made Luo Dashan feel a bit better, and he awkwardly nodded, "Then let’s not talk about it."

Luo Zhiyong also nodded, meaning that this subject won’t be discussed in the future, and then he brought up the purpose of his visit, "Have you forgiven her?"

Afraid that Luo Dashan didn’t know who he was referring to, Luo Zhiyong added, "I mean Zhiming’s side."

Speaking of Zhou Yunmei, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Luo Dashan’s face. Actually, he felt quite awkward about wanting to live with Zhou Yunmei again, but considering his plans, Luo Dashan said, "Zhiyong, I actually want to discuss this with you."

"Tell me what’s on your mind. Speak honestly."

After thinking for a while, Luo Dashan said, "I think your mom knows she was wrong this time and has a mind to change. I thought we might as well just go back to the countryside. After all, that’s my real home. I still want to live in the countryside. No matter how good the city is, it doesn’t offer the freedom I have in the countryside."

"Dad, if that’s really what you think, I won’t stop you. If you really want to go back to the countryside, then go. I won’t short your living expenses every month, ensuring you won’t worry about food and clothing." Luo Zhiyong had anticipated Luo Dashan’s reaction, so he wasn’t too surprised, but for the first time, he spoke firmly in front of Luo Dashan,

"But I’ll make it clear; if you go back, we can’t be like before. Don’t expect that whenever something happens, we’ll rush back to show filial piety, because we can’t tell if these so-called frequent emergencies are real or not. Here, we have jobs, families, and our own people, and we can’t afford to always delay work because of family messes or people."

After a slight pause, Luo Zhiyong added, "If you can’t accept this, then just consider me unfilial."

Luo Zhiyong didn’t spell it out, but Luo Dashan understood what he meant. In the past, while with Zhou Yunmei, she often used Luo Dashan’s health as an excuse to trick money out of them or get them to go back and do some pointless things more times than they could count.

However, Luo Dashan also considered this. He had his concerns, "Zhiyong, I understand. Your mom has made many mistakes before, and it’s only right that you don’t forgive her."

"Actually, I’ve also thought about it. After we go back this time, if your mom and I can still be together, then we’ll stay together. If not, we’ll sever ties completely. I’ll go to the local government to finalize the divorce papers, and then we’ll live our own lives. After all, I’ve been in the city for so long, and my health has improved. If anything happens back home, I’ll let your second uncle’s family look after things. Nothing serious will happen."

In the end, Luo Dashan specifically added, "Don’t worry. After experiencing so much, I have a good sense of judgment."

Initially, Luo Zhiyong thought Luo Dashan was soft-hearted and thus willing to live with Zhou Yunmei again, but he hadn’t expected Luo Dashan to have such plans.

But if that’s really the case, Luo Zhiyong agreed. He nodded, "Dad, if you’ve really thought it through, I have no objections."

Seeing that Luo Zhiyong agreed, Luo Dashan was quite excited and immediately said, "Well, I’ll prepare these next few days, and in a few days, I’ll go back to the countryside."

"I’ll see you off then."

Luo Dashan smiled and shook his head, "No need. Just send me to the train station, and I’ll call your second uncle to pick me up in the county."

"Alright."

This time, Luo Dashan had really made up his mind. Either they reconciled, or they completely parted ways, ending everything, with nothing left to be concerned about.

But if Zhou Yunmei was willing to reconcile, she would have to play by his rules.

From then on, everything at home had to be decided by him. He would never repeat the past, where everything was up to Zhou Yunmei.

If they completely parted ways, it would also end the relationship between Zhiyong and Zhou Yunmei.

After all, Zhiyong now knew that Zhou Yunmei wasn’t his biological mother. If they weren’t together, there was legitimate reason not to care about Zhou Yunmei, and even public opinion wouldn’t hold sway.

With their parents divorced, and each son taking care of one, naturally Zhou Yunmei would be taken care of by her biological son. It wouldn’t fall to Zhiyong.

In this lifetime, Luo Dashan felt the most guilty towards his eldest son, and he couldn’t hold him back any longer.

Therefore, when Zhou Yunmei came to see Luo Dashan again the next day, asking for his forgiveness, Luo Dashan didn’t mince words and told her straightforwardly, "Yunmei, after being a couple for so many years, no matter what, there’s always some family affection. Since you sincerely admitted your mistakes this time, I forgive you. I’m willing to live with you from now on."

"Really..."

Upon hearing that Luo Dashan was willing to forgive her, Zhou Yunmei was overjoyed and was already contemplating how to propose moving to Fang Pingying’s villa to stay for a bit.

However, before she could finish celebrating, Luo Dashan’s next words dampened her spirits, "Let me finish. I plan to go back home to retire in a couple of days and won’t return to the city. The children will only visit me in the countryside if they have time."

"Go back to the countryside..." Zhou Yunmei stammered. If she was willing to go back to the countryside, why would she try so hard to admit her mistakes and plead?

If she wanted to go back to the countryside, couldn’t she have done so herself? She thought there was no hope on Zhiming’s side, and since Zhiyong’s side wasn’t as accommodating as before, she figured she might as well try holding on to Luo Dashan’s side this time.
