Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

"Wei Zi is a kind-hearted child. I am not saying this nonsense."

When talking about Zhou Wei, Grandma Zhou's face is filled with a smile of pride and kindness.

"But he had a hard life. When he was five years old, his father died in the battlefield, and his mother remarried immediately."

In fact, she is not the kind of old-fashioned, harsh and bad mother-in-law.

But her son's body was still warm when her daughter-in-law ran away with someone else. How could this not make people feel heartbroken?

Later, Grandma Zhou raised Zhou Wei alone. This name was also given by the child's father.

He hopes that his children will be able to defend their country in the future, and he is setting an example himself.

Zhou Wei admired his father very much, and his wish was to sacrifice his life for the country like his father, even if it meant dying on the battlefield.

So when Zhou Wei saw Fu Kang'an's kung fu, his eyes immediately lit up.

Grandma Zhou also knew Zhou Wei’s thoughts. Unlike other people, Grandma Zhou always supported Zhou Wei’s ideas and respected his wishes.

He often told Zhou Wei that he should live well and go to the battlefield in the future to carry on his father's legacy.

Grandma Zhou’s tone was very calm, but those few words represented half a lifetime.

She was a widow who had become a widow at a young age. She raised Zhou Wei's father alone and tried her best to help him get married and have children, but misfortune did not spare him.

After her life was finally back on track, her son was gone, her daughter-in-law remarried, and she was left with only her crying grandson.

Grandma Zhou swallowed all her tears, the hardship she went through is self-evident.

But she never complains about being tired easily, because she knows that she still has grandchildren to raise. If she collapses, what will happen to her grandchildren?

Later, she fell ill and almost died several times, but she was really worried about Zhou Wei. He was still so young and the people in the village were not very friendly, so she managed to get through it.

Although Grandma Zhou tried to tell the story as calmly as possible, one could still feel how difficult it was for the grandparents and grandchildren just from a few words.

It is difficult for one vulnerable person to survive, let alone two people.

"I'm getting old, and I don't know how long I can stay with this child." Grandma Zhou was indifferent to life and death. She wished she could go to see her husband who died young as soon as possible, but Zhou Wei was a concern she could never let go of.

"Grandma Zhou, I think Zhou Wei has great potential. If you are willing, I can recommend him to join the army, but..."

Fu Kang'an is a person who values ​​talent, otherwise he wouldn't have wasted his time on this.

But as soon as he said it, he knew it was wrong. Grandma Zhou's own son died on the battlefield. How could she be willing to let her only grandson take the risk of going to the battlefield?

I didn’t expect Grandma Zhou’s vision to be so extreme.

"Really? This child's wish is to be able to charge into battle, even if he is just an insignificant little soldier."

Grandma Zhou didn't mind going to the battlefield at all. War requires sacrifice, and she wanted her grandson to live a happy life for the rest of his life rather than continuing the family line.

Fu Kang'an was surprised to see Grandma Zhou being so open-minded.

It's not that she didn't want to let her own child go to the battlefield, but even though the child's father had already sacrificed his life, Grandma Zhou still had no grudges, simply because this was Zhou Wei's wish. How could she not be moved?

Even Fukangan couldn't help but give the old man a thumbs up.

"Grandma, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Wei was worried that his grandmother would let slip some of his embarrassing childhood experiences, so he was in a hurry.

"It's okay, you have a good grandma." There are really not many people who still put their children's wishes first after experiencing so much suffering.

Not to mention the modern times when people’s minds are more open, it’s like the feeling that you suddenly decide to drop out of school and risk your life to take the college entrance exam.

In today's world, having this kind of thought is beyond 99.9‰.

Zhou Wei was completely confused, but he still carefully poured water for Grandma Zhou, Fu Kang'an and others.

"My benefactor, please forgive me for not having anything to offer you." Zhou Wei said this frankly, with nothing to hide.

In fact, he felt that he was already super awesome for being able to support himself and save his grandmother.

"Your grandmother said you wanted to join the army?"

"...Well, not now." Zhou Wei said after hesitating for a while.

He also has to take care of his grandmother, so there is no way he can join the army. Just think of it as an extravagant dream.

Grandma Zhou looked at Zhou Wei with pity. Besides being his spiritual support, wasn't she also a burden to him?

"Wei Zi, grandma is already half buried in the ground. Now that you have met a noble person, you must seize the opportunity."

"Grandma, I can't abandon you." Zhou Wei said firmly without any hesitation.

Grandma Zhou sighed heavily, and that sigh seemed to carry all her life's exhaustion and helplessness. Her eyes, which were originally dull and lifeless, became even duller, just like the sun covered by dark clouds, losing its luster in that instant. However, this hint of dullness was only a brief flash, and she quickly hid it, replacing it with a kind of depth that was hard to fathom.

Seeing this, Fukang'an secretly became alert.

"Actually... you don't have to do that. You two can go together."

Grandma Zhou and Zhou Wei's eyes lit up at the same time.

Fu Kang'an nodded affirmatively. In fact, there were some family members in some military bases who could help with odd jobs, but not much.

Since Fukang'an has spoken, then of course there is no problem.

Now that the worries have been resolved, all that’s left is full of anticipation.

Suddenly Fukang'an seemed to have thought of something.

Logically speaking, since Zhou Wei's father was a martyr, his family would receive a pension so that they would not have to live such a miserable life.

A few years ago, He Xi proposed to improve the treatment of soldiers, and pension was one of the items.

Some ministers in the court also opposed it, thinking that the expenditure was too high.

But He Xi felt that this was necessary. Those good-for-nothings looked like decent human beings, but in fact they all had big bellies.

What's more, this matter received a great response.

What’s even more amazing is that those military officers struck hard at those ministers.

It was difficult for him to show off in front of Qianlong, so he was caught in the alley after leaving... It was a common thing.

According to common sense, if we were to be frugal with the money, we wouldn't be living in such a tight spot.

"Zhou Wei, after your father passed away, did he receive any pension?"

Zhou Wei immediately shook his head. What on earth is a pension?

Grandma Zhou also nodded. She also guessed that there must be a connection.

She knew that her little grandson always reported good news but not bad news.

Fu Kang'an nodded in understanding. As the saying goes, it is easy to see the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with little ghosts.

He wanted to see who was so bold as to swallow up the pension for the martyrs' families and who was so evil-hearted.

And this is by no means an isolated case.

He Hexi looked at each other and decided to investigate.
