Chapter 1557: Ultimately Couldn't Stand By, Yet Didn't Want to Invite Trouble

Liu Chuxue naturally had no objection: "This is a good thing; I will certainly support it. However, you know my current situation, so apart from responding to the donation drive, I'm afraid I can't help in other ways."

Sister Kong had been waiting for this very statement.

The reason she came was twofold: first, she truly wanted to help the Captain Xu family, and second, she had her own ideas.

Her husband Old Kong had held the regiment commander's position for so long; if he didn't move up further, the only option would be to transfer out of the army.

Others might not be clear, but she, as his pillow-side companion, knew well that his body could no longer handle high-intensity missions; moving up one step would secure his future.

If not, the only path left would likely be transferring out.

Actually, this matter was no secret.

She understood her man; he was reluctant to take off his military uniform, so this time she wanted to take the lead on this matter and help him a push.

The situation in the regiment, Liu Chuxue had heard people talk about it many times before; she wasn't stupid and had guessed Sister Kong's intentions to some extent.

She probably thought before coming that Liu Chuxue wouldn't get involved in this, but someone had to lead the donation drive, and she was the person Sister Kong had chosen.

Although she felt somewhat displeased at being calculated, she didn't oppose the donation itself; after all, it could genuinely help the Captain Xu family, and at such a time, hope was most needed.

Furthermore, if Regiment Commander Kong got promoted, that position would open up, and it might fall to her own man, so she must support this matter.

She coughed lightly and said directly: "Sister Kong, how much do you think I should donate?"

She hadn't forgotten that during the previous donation drive for the disaster area, she had been criticized behind her back many times.

Sister Kong hadn't expected her to be so direct.

Others might not know, but she knew well that this person was not short of money; she had heard that Liu Chuxue took on translation work, earning over a hundred yuan per book.

Once, when she went to the First Machinery Department to find her cousin, she saw her, and only learned afterward through inquiries that she actually possessed such ability.

However, as long as she could play a leading role, that was good; if she gave too much, it would be difficult for her later: "Just do what you can; while helping others, you must also consider your own family and the situation of other families in the dependents' compound."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue almost wanted to laugh; it was really hard on her.

She took ten yuan from her pocket, actually taking it from the space: "I donate ten yuan on behalf of my Fu Yan Cheng."

Sister Kong exchanged a glance with Sister Tao who came with her: "Younger sister-in-law, thank you so much; we appreciate your support."

This amount suited her perfectly; her purpose was achieved, and the first donation had been received, so naturally she didn't stay any longer.

After Fu Yan Cheng returned that night, Liu Chuxue naturally mentioned this to him: "Captain Xu is your subordinate; even if Sister Kong hadn't come, I would have brought it up, so this way is actually quite good.

However, donating money is one thing, and visiting personally is another; I have prepared some items, and you should go there personally tomorrow morning."

She simply couldn't stand by and do nothing, yet she also didn't want to bring trouble upon herself.

After much thought, she thought of the honey in the space; to ensure it would have an effect, she also added some space spring water, hoping to subtly help that child repair his damaged nerves.

The only thing she could do was this, after all; the secret of the space was something she would take to her grave.

Thinking of the Captain Xu family's misfortune, she couldn't help but think in her heart: The whole family relied on Captain Xu alone to bear the burden; their family's risk resistance was far too weak. This wasn't an isolated case; it was a common problem affecting seventy percent of the families in the dependents' compound.

To change the current situation, the most practical approach would be to provide more job positions.
