Chapter 1558: Seeing Her Like That Made Me Feel a Bit Heartbroken
The next day, Tao Saozi came over: "Liu Chuxue, I didn't know that Kong Saozi came that day for the donation matter..."
Liu Chuxue saw Tao Saozi's conflicted expression and knew what she was thinking: "Being able to help Battalion Commander Xu is a good thing; Sister, you need not overthink it."
Seeing that Liu Chuxue truly didn't mind, Tao Saozi said: "I also know this is a good thing; I just didn't expect Kong Saozi to have come with ulterior motives that day."
Liu Chuxue smiled: "Regardless of what she had in mind, as long as the result is good, it is a good thing."
Seeing Liu Chuxue didn't care, Tao Saozi also breathed a sigh of relief: "After all, she is the Regiment Commander's Lady; everyone has to give her some face. A total of one hundred and twenty-eight yuan in donations was received. Wang Danggui, the daughter-in-law of Battalion Commander Xu's family, almost knelt before Kong Saozi; seeing her like that made me feel a bit heartbroken."
After speaking, she perhaps felt she was being too pessimistic: "Sigh, no matter what, this time counts as the most united effort of our regiment's families; that scene moved me."
Seeing Liu Chuxue packing things: "Are you going back to the city?"
Liu Chuxue didn't hide it: "Originally, because the weather was cold, we didn't hold the full-moon banquet; I thought about inviting a few families we get along with to a meal when the baby reached one hundred days, but since such a thing happened in Battalion Commander Xu's family, it would be inappropriate for me to host a banquet again."
Hearing this, Tao Saozi nodded: "You are right to consider that."
Liu Chuxue continued: "The family over there said early on that the child is too small and the weather too cold to hold a full-moon banquet; we'll just wait until the hundred-day mark for the family to gather and make a bit of a fuss."
Tao Saozi nodded: "That makes sense; we must set up a few tables to make a fuss, I'm afraid everyone would want to come and soak up some good fortune."
Liu Chuxue smiled: "The weather is getting warmer day by day; it's just right to move them to a new place."
They were going to move, and they had already agreed with Auntie Wei to have her come along with them.
Fu Yan Cheng had also agreed with Wei Wenbin; for this period, he would stay in the family compound and go directly to the unit canteen for meals.
Wei Wenbin was delighted and naturally would not refuse.
On the day Liu Chuxue returned to the city, the results regarding the few people from the Art Troupe and the Communication Company were also out; Xu Genhong's medical expenses, nutrition fees, subsequent rehabilitation costs, and compensation had been negotiated by both parties, with the leaders from the unit serving as witnesses.
Given that the few people showed a positive attitude in admitting their mistakes and actively accepted the consequences, and with the forgiveness of the parties involved, besides compensation, all were given a demerit.
One could tell at a glance this was the result of someone maneuvering; others also benefited from it.
However, to speak plainly, even if the Xu family had insisted on pursuing the matter, in the end both sides would have suffered losses; such a result can be considered a guarantee for Xu Genhong.
Fu Yan Cheng went to the hospital early in the morning carrying the things Liu Chuxue had prepared.
Seeing Fu Yan Cheng, Battalion Commander Xu's wife Wang Danggui said: "The Deputy Regiment Commander has arrived."
Fu Yan Cheng handed over the items in his hands: "My wife found some wild honey for us; she asked me to bring it over. This stuff nourishes the body; mix a cup for Genhong to drink every day."
Sister Xu's eyes instantly turned red: "Deputy Regiment Commander, regarding the donation matter, I heard from Tao Saozi; I truly thank Sister so much. Now you have even sent such precious items; we owe you more and more."
Fu Yan Cheng quickly stopped her: "Battalion Commander Xu and I are comrades-in-arms, the kind who can entrust our backs to each other; our relationship goes without saying. Now that you are temporarily facing difficulties, as a comrade and as his leader, lending a hand is what should be done. The most important thing now is to spare no expense to get the child well."
After encouraging the young boy Xu Genhong a bit more, he left the hospital.
