Lu Xingzhi's mother's words came out of her mouth so suddenly that he was caught off guard.
However, compared to Lu Xingzhi's astonishment, Lu Xingzhi's mother's expression was as indifferent as water. It was as if she wasn't the one who had thrown the stone into the water. It was as if she hadn't said anything just now.
It was as if she wasn't the one who had spoken.
Lu Xingzhi's mother's cold expression almost made Lu Xingzhi think that he had heard wrongly and was hallucinating.
"Mom, did I hear wrongly?" Lu Xingzhi asked in disbelief.
"You didn't hear wrongly. I told you to either change your profession or retire from the army after you recover." Lu Xingzhi's mother's tone was very firm. "I'm not discussing with you, nor am I asking for your opinion. You have a choice. Choose between changing your profession or retiring from the army. Our family doesn't lack money. Even if you don't work, our family doesn't lack money to support you, Yaoyao, and the children."
"Mom, you've always been a very open-minded person." Lu Xingzhi frowned. "Why are you suddenly asking me to make this choice?"
"Yes, I used to be a very open-minded person, but Xingzhi, I'm also a person of flesh and blood. No matter how open-minded I am, I won't be so open-minded as to watch you die." Lu Xingzhi's mother's eyes slowly turned red. "You hid everything from me. Even when you went missing, Yaoyao was forced to take risks and went to Lan Ning with her belly full to save you. This time, more than 20 people died on the mission. No one in the entire team escaped unscathed, and countless were seriously injured. How can I be open-minded?"
Lu Xingzhi's mother's entire body trembled as she spoke. "You and Yaoyao hid everything from your father and me. While you and Yaoyao were suffering, your father and I were having fun outside. Do you know that when I think of this, my heart hurts and it hurts? I blame myself so much that I want to slap myself twice."
"Mom, I told Yaoyao not to tell you. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you and Dad to worry," Lu Xingzhi explained anxiously. "Mom, you don't have to blame yourself for this."
"I know. From your standpoint, I understand that you're hiding it from your father and me. Just like you said, you're afraid that we'll be worried and scared. This is your filial piety as children. I don't blame you and Yaoyao." Mrs. Lu shook her head gently. "I just feel terrible when I think about it. My son and daughter-in-law's lives are up to the heavens, while I'm having fun outside."
Mama Lu wasn't bothered by this. She wasn't an unreasonable person. When the accident happened, she and her husband were in the capital, far away from Jiang Yao and Luo City. She and her husband were both old. In order not to worry her and her husband, Jiang Yao chose to hide this for the time being. Mama Lu could understand Jiang Yao's decision. Moreover, if she were in Jiang Yao's shoes, she would have done the same thing.
As a daughter, she didn't want her father and daughter to worry about her.
"Do you want to ask me why I still want you to leave the army since I understand you?" Mama Lu saw Lu Xingzhi's frown and knew what he was troubled about. As a mother, she knew very well how much her son loved this job and the military uniform.
