1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1557: He couldn't stand idly by, but he also didn't want to get himself into trouble.
Chu Xue naturally had no objections: "This is a good thing, I will definitely support it, but as you know my current situation, I'm afraid that apart from responding to the donation, I can't help in any other way."

That's exactly what Sister Kong was waiting for.

She came here for two reasons: first, she genuinely wanted to help Company Commander Xu's family; second, she also had her own reasons.

Her husband, Lao Kong, has been in the position of regimental commander for so long; if he doesn't get promoted soon, he'll have no choice but to leave the military.

Others might not know, but she, his wife, knew that his body could no longer handle high-intensity tasks. Taking another step forward would be a sure thing for him in the future.

If not, I'm afraid the only option left is to change careers.

Actually, this isn't a secret.

She understands her man; he's reluctant to take off his military uniform. That's why she came up with the idea to take the lead in this matter, hoping to give him a helping hand.

Chu Xue had heard a lot about the situation in the group before, and she wasn't stupid, so she guessed Kong's sister-in-law's intentions to some extent.

Perhaps before she came, she had already thought that she wouldn't get involved in this matter, but when it comes to donating money, someone has to take the lead, and she was the person chosen by Sister Kong.

Although she was somewhat upset about being schemed against, she wasn't against donating money, since it could genuinely help Captain Xu's family, and hope was most needed at times like these.

Furthermore, if Commander Kong is promoted, that position will become vacant, and it might fall into the hands of my husband, so this matter must be supported.

She coughed lightly and asked directly, "Sister-in-law Kong, how much do you think is appropriate for me to donate?"

She hadn't forgotten how many people gossiped about her when she donated to disaster relief efforts.

Sister-in-law Kong didn't expect her to be so direct.

Others might not know, but she certainly did. This woman was certainly not short of money; she'd heard that she could earn over a hundred yuan per translated document. Once, when she went to the Ministry of Machine Building to visit her cousin, she saw her and later learned that she actually had this skill.

However, it's good if she can set an example. If she sets too high, it will be difficult for her to do things in the future: "Just do what you can. While helping others, you also have to consider the situation of your own family and other families in the compound."

Chu Xue almost laughed when she heard this; she felt sorry for Chu Xue.

He pulled out ten yuan from his pocket, but actually took it out of his spatial storage: "I'm donating ten yuan on behalf of my Fu Yancheng."

Sister-in-law Kong and Sister-in-law Tao, who came with them, exchanged a glance: "Sister-in-law, thank you so much, thank you for your support."

This amount was exactly what she wanted. With her goal achieved and her first donation secured, she naturally didn't linger any longer.

When Fu Yancheng returned that evening, Chu Xue naturally brought up the matter with him: "Company Commander Xu is your subordinate. Even if Sister Kong hadn't come, I would have brought it up anyway. So it's not bad."

"Donating money is one thing, visiting in person is another. I've prepared some things; you should go there yourself tomorrow morning."

I couldn't just stand by and do nothing, but I also didn't want to get myself into trouble.

After much thought, she remembered the honey from her spatial storage. To make it more effective, she added some water from the spatial pool, hoping it would subtly help the child repair his damaged nerves.

That's all she could do, since she was going to take the secret of the space to her coffin.

Thinking about the plight of Company Commander Xu's family, I couldn't help but think: the whole family is relying on Company Commander Xu alone, and their ability to withstand risks is too poor. This is not an isolated case; it is a common problem for 70% of the families in the residential compound.

The most practical way to change the current situation is to provide more job opportunities.
