Chapter 1505: Is it better for a moment or for a lifetime? We'll have to see to know.
Chapter 1505: Whether it's good for a short time or good for a lifetime, we'll only know after we see.
Fu Yancheng said, "He will be leaving the army in a few days and heading back to his hometown in northern Shaanxi. I want him to take the bonus from the last mission back with him."
After listening for a moment, Chu Xue said, "I have absolutely no objection to your decision, but have you considered whether letting him take this money now will truly help him?"
Fu Yancheng was taken aback upon hearing this: "You mean..."
Chu Xue nodded: "You said it yourself, he has ten siblings in total, and he is not favored at home. After taking this money back, I guess given his situation, he may not be able to spend it on himself."
He receives demobilization pay after being discharged from the military, and given his situation, he should also receive monthly disability benefits. As long as his family doesn't act against their conscience, his basic living should be fine.
What I mean is, why not wait a bit longer? If his family treats him well, you can secretly deposit the money for him and let him keep it safe in case he needs it later.
If his family treats him badly, then we should find other ways to use this money to benefit him personally.
Fu Yancheng nodded slightly after hearing his wife's words and said, "You're very thoughtful. But his family treats him well, so why do you still secretly hide it for him?"
Chu Xue said seriously, "Whether it's good for a short time or good for a lifetime, we'll only know after we see. It's always good to be prepared."
Thinking of something, Chu Xue asked in return, "Why are you so good to him?"
At first, Chu Xue thought he would compensate the comrades who were injured or killed in this mission, but she didn't expect it to be the comrades who were injured in the last mission.
Then Fu Yancheng said, "He has been my soldier since the recruit training camp. I watched him improve step by step, but I never expected it to end like this. He is a very honest person. I did this so that he could have a better life when he goes back."
Chu Xue understood: "Since you don't trust him, you should listen to me. You can have someone secretly keep an eye on him. Just keep that money for him separately."
She wasn't short of money, and she wouldn't stop Fu Yancheng from having this intention. After all, Fu Yancheng wasn't the kind of saintly figure; this was the only time they'd ever known each other. With this matter resolved, Fu Yancheng felt much better.
As for the comrades who were injured or killed in this mission, as is customary, they also pooled money for their families, which was a token of their comrades' goodwill.
Time flies, and soon it was December.
Yesterday it snowed, and Fu Yancheng was worried that the first snow might not go well: "Wife, today you should stay in our yard and don't go outside."
"I'll go see Aunt Wei as soon as I finish what I'm doing and see if she can come and keep you company tomorrow. I'm really worried about leaving you alone."
Fu Yancheng had brought this up with her many times, but she knew her own situation well and refused each time.
Triplets are prone to premature birth, and she felt the babies had already engaged in her pelvis this morning, so she was afraid the delivery would be in the next few days: "Okay, if she has everything arranged, why don't we have her come over today?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yancheng dared not delay any longer: "Alright, I'll go pick them up in a bit."
After Fu Yancheng left, Chu Xue checked the maternity bag she had packed earlier one last time, just in case there was anything she had overlooked.
She had just finished tidying up when she heard someone knocking on the door: "Chuxue, it's Aunt Wei. Are you home? I'm coming in."
Hearing the noise, Zhuifeng immediately stood up and was about to turn on his microphone when Chuxue stopped him: "Zhuifeng, lie down."
