Chapter 1339: Donation

As time passed, Liu Chuxue's heart grew increasingly uneasy.

In the end, the disaster struck exactly along its predetermined path.

When the disaster struck, Liu Chuxue had just returned to the city; with matters already weighing on her mind and worry for Fu Yan Cheng on a mission, she had not a shred of sleepiness.

Upon leaving the family compound, Liu Chuxue had already stored Zhui Feng in her space; feeling the house shake, she rushed out of her room and immediately entered the space, after all, she was pregnant and naturally could not risk her body.

If she lost her balance and fell, that would be terrible.

After a long while, she finally emerged from the space; by then, every courtyard was in chaos, with adults frantically dragging and pulling sleeping children out into the yards.

Liu Chuxue had just brought out a bamboo mat to lay in the yard when she heard her mother-in-law's voice from outside the door: "Chuxue, Chuxue, are you alright?"

Liu Chuxue quickly put down the mat in her hands and opened the door: "Mom, why have you come over?"

Upon seeing her, Fu's mother immediately scanned her up and down: "As long as you're fine, as long as you're fine."

Hearing these words, Liu Chuxue felt a warmth in her heart: "Mom, I'm fine; I was just preparing to go see you in a while, and you've already arrived."

Fu's mother said to Fu's father behind her: "Go into the room and bring out a chair for Chuxue to sit on; we don't know if there will be aftershocks later, so under no circumstances should we enter the house."

Fu's father thought the same; seeing the unopened bamboo mat in the yard, he said: "If there are aftershocks, sitting on a chair isn't safe either; better to spread this out, it can be sat or laid on. The yard is spacious; even if something happens, no one will get hurt."

Fu's mother, remembering that Liu Chuxue was still pregnant, agreed that this made sense.

The mat was brought out to be used anyway; in this situation, nothing was more important than safety: "Alright, I'll listen to Mom and Dad."

Liu Chuxue pointed to the side room: "Dad, there's another bamboo mat in that room; please fetch it so you and Mom have somewhere to rest later."

Fu's father and mother stayed by Liu Chuxue's side, refusing to close their eyes; this kindness Liu Chuxue would remember in her heart for a lifetime, though that is a story for later.

The next day, the Xinhua News Agency broadcast to the outside world the news of a strong earthquake occurring in the Fengnan area of Tang City; at once, shock and sorrow, concern and sympathy, unity and support coexisted.

Because of this sudden disaster, the younger sister-in-law's wedding had to be postponed.

Fu's mother had originally wanted Liu Chuxue to return to the Fu family home to stay, but Liu Chuxue did not agree.

Since every factory had been supporting the disaster area these past few days, whether it was Fu's father as the deputy factory director or Fu's mother as the trade union director, both were so busy their feet barely touched the ground.

Liu Chuxue did not want to add trouble for them; only after she repeatedly assured them did Fu's father and mother finally feel at ease.

That night, Liu Chuxue quietly left her home, went to the place she had scouted during the day, confirmed the surroundings were safe, and then brought out everything she had sorted for use in the disaster area.

Additionally, she brought out all the grain, Chinese medicine, and seasonal fruits from the storage room in her space, preparing to donate them all to the disaster area.

Once preparations were complete, she took the letter she had written in advance and went to the city Gongan Bureau; she happened to see Kong Yizhang on duty, so she directly handed the credit over to him.

She had originally intended to give this credit to Fu Yan Cheng, but he had led a team out on a mission; now time was life, and waiting for him to return would mean the opportunity would be long gone.

Watching from the shadows as Kong Yizhang received the letter and opened it, then personally led a team to confirm it was not a prank, a grown man actually shed tears, saluted directly at that pile of items, and only then quickly returned to report to his superiors.
