Chapter 1480: Aren't you afraid the second sister-in-law will find out and make a scene with you?

Although it was her own eldest uncle, Liu Chuxue did not feel that helping her sister-in-law was a given: "Mom, just arrange it; I have no objections."

After finishing this matter, Fu's mother started nagging again: "Engineer Jiao's work here is about to wrap up, and their family will leave next month. Mom wants to ask, do you want to go back to the countryside to sit the month?"

Liu Chuxue did not expect her mother-in-law to ask this. She also knew her mother-in-law meant well, but since they had already split the household, if she went back to sit the month, she didn't know how those families would think: "Mom, the military hospital isn't far from here. I was thinking we could just sit the month here."

"After all, you still have to work now. If I really go back, it would just add trouble for you."

Fu's mother could probably guess Liu Chuxue's thoughts: "Your second sister-in-law gave birth to Jinze in the countryside back then. I took a week off to go over and serve her during her confinement. Your eldest sister and third sister-in-law, needless to say, although their natal families sent people to care for them for a few days, I participated the whole time. Although we have split the household now, a woman sitting the month is a big matter. You don't need to consider so much. With your father and me here, no one dares to object."

Liu Chuxue patted her mother-in-law's hand: "Mom, I know what you mean, but I don't want you to be so tired. By then, it would be like fighting a war every day. Regarding sitting the month, I have thought about it. Instead of everyone being busy like spinning tops, it would be better to find someone to take care of us then."

Fu's mother said with a worried face: "But with the current situation, what if someone with ulterior motives reports..."

The following words were not yet finished before Liu Chuxue interrupted her: "Mom, I know what you are worried about, but I have already thought of a solution."

Hearing this, Fu's mother waited for Liu Chuxue's next words.

She heard Liu Chuxue say: "Before, when I went to the village to exchange things, I accidentally met an old lady. Later, hearing people discuss it, I learned that the old lady was a martyr's family member."

"Except for a small grandson, no one else is left in her family. She originally came with her son to follow the army, but unexpectedly, just a few years after arriving, her son died on a mission, and it was a situation where even the body could not be brought back."

"According to regulations, the grandmother and grandson should return to their original hometown, but their situation is special. The old lady wanted to stay here, keeping a thought in her heart."

"After the leaders studied it, they obtained the old lady's consent, communicated with the local government, and then let the grandmother and grandson live in Bai Fu Village ahead. This way, protected by the army, they can live peacefully."

Fu's mother understood now: "You want her to come and help?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "I heard from people in the village that the old lady lives very frugally and just wants to save her pension for her grandson. I have observed that the courtyard where the old lady lives now is kept very clean. Although her clothes have many patches, every time I see her, she is neat and tidy. Moreover, that small grandson is educated by her to be very polite."

"I was thinking of going over these few days to get in touch with the old lady. If possible, this can be considered mutual help. If the old lady is willing, I will have Fu Yan greet the superiors."

Hearing this, Fu's mother's eyes became a bit moist, not because of her daughter-in-law's consideration, but because of the same mother's love for her child: "Then do as you say. However, if that sister agrees, your father and I will pay the wages."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Aren't you afraid that the second sister-in-law will find out and make a scene with you?"

Fu's mother, however, said seriously: "I didn't put in the effort, so naturally I must put in the money. Back when your second sister-in-law sat the month in the countryside, although I only cared for her for a week, when I left, I left her quite a lot of money and coupons. Although I don't like her, I never treated her unfairly. Even if she knows, she has no reason to make a scene."

Dear readers, I slightly adjusted Fu Yanwan's wedding date in the previous chapter. I checked the perpetual calendar and changed it to an auspicious day.
