Chapter 1505: Whether Good for a Moment or Good for a Lifetime, One Must Wait and See

~4 min read 711 words

Fu Yan Cheng spoke: "In a few days he will leave the unit and set off for his hometown in northern Shaanxi. I want him to take the bonus from the last mission back with him."

Liu Chuxue listened, thought for a moment, then said: "I have no objection to your decision, but have you considered whether letting him take the money now will truly help him?"

Hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng was momentarily stunned: "You mean..."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "You said it yourself, he has nine siblings, making ten children in total, and he was not favored at home. After he takes the money back, given his situation, I fear it may not necessarily end up in his own hands.

He has demobilization funds, and in his case he should also receive a monthly disability allowance. As long as his family does not lack conscience, his basic living needs should be no problem.

What I mean is, it would be better to wait a bit longer. If his family treats him well, then secretly save this money for him and let him hide it privately, just in case of future emergencies.

If his family treats him poorly, then we can think of other ways to ensure this money benefits him personally."

Fu Yan Cheng listened to his wife's words, nodded lightly, and said: "You are indeed thoughtful, but if his family treats him well, why still hide the money for him secretly?"

Liu Chuxue said seriously: "Whether it is good for a moment or good for a lifetime, we must wait and see. Having an extra plan is never wrong."

Suddenly thinking of something, Liu Chuxue asked in return: "Why are you so good to him?"

After all, at first Liu Chuxue thought he would subsidize the comrades who were killed or injured in this mission, but she did not expect it to be for the comrade injured in the previous mission.

Fu Yan Cheng replied: "He has been my soldier since basic training. I watched him progress step by step, but I never expected such an outcome. He is a very honest person. I am doing this so that he can live a better life after returning home."

Liu Chuxue understood: "Since you do not trust his family, you should listen to me even more. You can have someone keep an eye on his situation secretly. Just keep that money set aside for him separately."

She did not lack money, and Fu Yan Cheng had this intention, so she would not stop him. After all, Fu Yan Cheng was not the kind of saintly person; from the time they met until now, this was the only time.

With this matter resolved, Fu Yan Cheng's mood improved considerably.

As for the comrades killed or injured in this mission, following custom, they also pooled money for the families. It was a small token of their comrades' goodwill.

Time passed quickly, and soon it entered the twelfth lunar month.

It snowed yesterday. Fearing Liu Chuxue might slip, Fu Yan Cheng said: "Wife, today you should only move around in our courtyard. Absolutely do not go outside.

Once I finish what I am doing with my hands, I will go to Auntie Wei's place to see if she can come accompany you tomorrow. Otherwise, I really cannot feel at ease."

Fu Yan Cheng had mentioned this to her many times. She knew her own condition clearly, and each time she had refused.

Triplets are prone to premature birth, and this morning she felt the babies had already dropped; delivery was likely within these few days: "Alright, if she has arranged things on her end, it would be better for her to come today."

As soon as she said this, Fu Yan Cheng dared not delay any further: "Alright, I will go pick her up right away."

After Fu Yan Cheng left, Liu Chuxue checked the prepared hospital bag she had packed earlier again, afraid of any oversight.

Just as she finished packing, she heard someone knocking outside: "Liu Chuxue, it is Auntie Wei. Are you home? I am coming in."

Zhui Feng heard the commotion, stood up directly, and was about to bark, but Liu Chuxue called a stop: "Zhui Feng, lie down."
