FSC [QT] Chapter 184.1

“What are the rules in the army regarding your case?”

Miao Dashan couldn’t help but stare at Xie Changzheng’s injured leg.

According to him, his leg was most likely disabled. If he couldn’t stay in the army, could he still work in the fields in his current condition?

“Yes, the army has to give an explanation for this matter. If the Third Brother is really disabled, it is also a sacrifice for the country. Not to mention arranging a job, at least a generous pension should be given.”

The dispute that just happened in the Xie family was also because of this incident.

The two brothers, Xie Changgeng and Xie Changli, still had some shame. They were squatting in the back with sad faces.

Zhang Xiaojuan, the eldest sister-in-law, jumped the highest, and the second daughter-in-law, Liu Landi, was also adding fuel to the fire.

“Captain, we are not petty. The Third Brother is in such a condition that he can’t get out of bed for a few months. If his legs become disabled, he probably won’t be able to earn full work points in the future. We, his brothers and sisters-in-law, can take care of him for a while, but we can’t take care of him forever, right? He is also a man and has to have dignity. I’m afraid he doesn’t want to drag us brothers and sisters-in-law down.”

Liu Landi spoke softly, but what she said was really unpleasant to hear.

She and Zhang Xiaojuan’s attitudes were very clear. If Xie Changzheng could bring home a pension, they would still be a family for the sake of money. But if Xie Changzheng could not get anything back, they, his brothers and sisters-in-law, would not want to take care of him, a freeloader.

The two women felt that what they said made sense, but they forgot that the money Xie Changzheng sent home over the years was enough for an ordinary family of five in the countryside to eat and drink for a lifetime. The reason why they could live a more affluent life than other people around them was because of this now-disabled brother.

Now that their brother is in trouble, they can’t wait to show their disgusted faces. Aren’t they just really ungrateful people?

“I was injured on the battlefield this time, and the army gave me a bonus.”

Xie Changzheng seemed to have not understood what his two sisters-in-law said. He stupidly pointed out that he was indeed praised by his superiors and received a bonus.

The villagers who were smacking their lips at the coldness of the Xie family couldn’t help but whisper to the people around them after hearing this.

Isn’t the third son of the Xie family a fool?

He hadn’t realized that people didn’t treat him as a family member at all. They didn’t know how he got to the position of deputy regiment commander in the army with such an IQ.

The Xie family members were delighted, but before Miao Fengmei could ask for money, Xie Changzheng immediately said, “I don’t want this money. I will give it to the relatives of the fallen comrades.”

“During the more than ten years I have been in the army, I have remitted more than 5,000 yuan to my mother. In recent years, our family has built a new house, and after deducting the expenses of paying for the education of several nephews and younger sister, as well as the daily expenses of Chunxiu and her daughter, there should be 2,000 to 3,000 yuan left. Even if I become a cripple, I can survive with this money.”

The purchasing power of one yuan now is not comparable to that of later generations.

Xie Changzheng is an extremely frugal man. In addition, he had no place to spend money when stationed on the border, so he sent almost all of his allowances back to his hometown.

After serving in the army for more than ten years, his allowance continued to increase with the advancement of his military rank.

He remitted more than 5,000 yuan, and that did not include various coupons.

Xu Chunxiu and Xie Wu were not freeloaders in the Xie family. On the contrary, because of Miao Fengmei’s harshness, the mother and daughter not only did not spend a penny of the money their husband and father sent home, but also part of the work points they earned and the food rations they received went into the mouths of other people in the Xie family.

At this moment, Xie Changzheng’s words fell into the ears of the bystanders, making the behavior of Miao Fengmei and others even more outrageous.

“But the families of my comrades are different. The pensions given by the army are limited. They have elderly people, wives, and children at home. How will they live after losing their pillars? I divided the money among them as my last token of appreciation.”

Xie Changzheng’s expression was very heavy. He regretted that he had not been reborn earlier. Perhaps if he had been one step earlier, he could have prevented the sacrifice of those comrades.

“Third son, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?”

Miao Fengmei never thought that her own son would be so stupid.

What did the well-being of those comrades’ families have to do with him?

Could those people’s children provide for him in his old age?
