Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 594 - 589: Insisting on Being Discharged

But before Zhou Yunmei could reach Fang Pingying, Luo Dashan suddenly sat upright on the bed and shouted sternly, "Yunmei, stop right there if you still want to lead a normal life."

When Luo Dashan was angry, he usually resorted to physical means to stop Zhou Yunmei, but this was the first time he used such an authoritative tone, and it truly did hold her back.

Zhou Yunmei dared not continue forward and only stomped her feet in annoyance, "Old man."

Luo Dashan gave her a cold glance, then leaned back against the headboard, exhausted, and suddenly said, "You take Zhiming and his wife back home, Honglan and Zhiyong are here to take care of me."

"I..." Zhou Yunmei instinctively wanted to retort, fearing that Luo Zhiyong and the others might divulge everything that happened in the city.

But before she could finish, Luo Dashan interrupted her, "If you prefer to stay and look after me, I will send Zhiyong and Honglan back to the city, and all the hospital matters will be your responsibility."

Taking responsibility for all the matters meant she might have to bear the medical expenses, something she would definitely not agree to do.

She thought it over, since Luo Zhiyong and the others had been careful with the information because of Luo Dashan’s health, they probably wouldn’t speak in the next few days as well.

Thus, Zhou Yunmei quickly agreed, "Fine, since you prefer their care, let them take care of you. We’ll head back first and wait for you to be discharged from the hospital."

Luo Dashan, detecting her eagerness in her tone, knew her reasons. He looked up at her, said nothing more, only instructed towards Zhou Yunmei, "You all go back now."

Zhou Yunmei agreed and turned to call Xu He and Luo Zhiming to leave, passing by Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying, she even scoffed coldly.

As for Xu He, she was indifferent towards whether Luo Dashan lived or died; naturally, when Zhou Yunmei said to leave, she immediately picked up her bag and followed.

It was Luo Zhiming who had been standing silently in one spot, after a moment of silence, he approached Luo Dashan and said, "Dad, I’ll visit you again in a few days."

Luo Dashan looked at Luo Zhiming, his eyes filled with sorrow. Soon, he lowered his gaze, shook his head, and said, "Don’t come, you go back, I’ll be returning soon as well."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiming nodded and then turned to leave.

After Zhou Yunmei and the others left, Luo Dashan sighed deeply, called Yaoyao over, gently touched her head, and soothed her with a pained heart, "Yaoyao, I’m sorry, grandpa is useless."

Yaoyao, sensing Luo Dashan’s self-blame in his tone, immediately comforted him by shaking her head, "It’s not grandpa, it’s the wicked witch."

Luo Dashan was amused by the child’s innocent words, heartily agreeing, "Hehe, right, right, it’s the wicked witch’s fault."

While Luo Dashan and Yaoyao laughed, Luo Honglan, seeing that Luo Dashan did not mention Zhou Yunmei’s actions, looked at him somewhat puzzled and said, "Dad, have you ever wondered how you suddenly fell ill, and just let them go so easily?"

"Silly girl, dad knows what’s going on. We’ll talk about it when we get back home," Luo Dashan replied, then turned to Luo Zhiyong and asked, "Zhiyong, I heard from your sister that you were supposed to go on a mission these days, is that right?"

Luo Zhiyong nodded at Luo Dashan, signaling not to worry, "I’ve called the army and explained the family situation, took a few days off. Once you’re better, I’ll ask for instructions from the army."

"Ah, Dad getting sick has really troubled you all," Luo Dashan sighed looking at them and said to Luo Zhiyong, "Zhiyong, go and tell the doctor, I don’t feel anything awry now, I’ll be discharged in a couple of days, staying at home to recover is just as good."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyong immediately shook his head, "No way, the doctor said you need at least half a month’s hospitalization."

"The doctors always exaggerate," Luo Dashan said, "I’m fine, I want to go back home sooner."

"Dad..."

"If you don’t agree, I’ll discharge myself today," Luo Dashan, appearing quite agitated, attempted to get out of bed.

Seeing this, Luo Honglan quickly moved to support Luo Dashan, while she said to Luo Zhiyong, "Maybe, big brother, you could talk to the doctor. If possible, let Dad go back home to rest. You and your wife have things to take care of in the city, you go first, I’ll stay at home to look after Dad, and when he’s better, I’ll come to the city."

Seeing the situation, Luo Zhiyong, unable to withstand Luo Dashan but also uneasy about letting him go back just like that, tried to negotiate, "Dad, how about you come to the city with us?"

"Go to the city?"

Luo Zhiyong nodded, "Yes, we could find a place near where my unit is. You could live there on your own, and when it’s the weekend, Honglan and I could bring Yaoyao and Ruirui to see you, and you’d often see the two little ones."

"I would indeed love to see them every day." Mentioning the two children brought a loving smile to Luo Dashan’s face. He would surely love to have the two little ones constantly by his side, but he couldn’t impose more troubles on Luo Zhiyong by moving to the city, he chuckled and shook his head, "Zhiyong, I won’t go to the city, I’ve lived in the countryside my whole life, I’m not used to the city life, I prefer staying at my own home."

"But..."

"No more of this. I’ll take good care of myself from now on," Luo Dashan finished speaking, then directly urged Luo Zhiyong, "Go talk to the doctor, I’ll stay a few more days, then discharge. If need be, we can take some medicine home, and the barefoot doctor in the village can give me injections just the same."

Luo Dashan was adamant, and without much choice, they had to ask the doctor.

The doctor came to examine Luo Dashan, seeing that he was recovering fairly well, agreed that going home to recuperate could also work, prescribed quite a bit of medicine, and reminded him of things to pay attention to. After Luo Dashan agreed to each point, he was discharged two days later.

Originally, with Luo Dashan discharged, Fang Pingying planned to buy train tickets, to take the two children back to the provincial city, but Luo Dashan insisted on not letting Fang Pingying leave, asking her to come back home with him – he had some things he needed to tell her, and he also wanted to take Yaoyao and Ruirui back home to pay respects to their ancestors – Ruirui and Yaoyao hadn’t been back to Luojia Village since their birth.

Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong also spoke softly to Fang Pingying, "Let’s go back together, I’m not comfortable with you taking both children on such a long train ride by yourself."

Fang Pingying hesitated for a moment, feeling her status was quite awkward if she returned like this; not to mention other things, even finding a place to stay was troublesome.

However, Luo Dashan seemed to have seen through Fang Pingying’s concerns, saying, "Pingying, once you’re back, just stay at my brother’s house."
