Yan Zhi's injuries were indeed quite serious; he was in critical condition for over twenty hours, but thankfully, several days have passed, and the military doctor has declared him out of danger. However, he is currently unable to move freely and cannot inform you.
The injury was quite serious...
Guan Wenru pursed her lips, forcing back tears, and said, "I understand, thank you, sir."
"Go home. Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. Right now, you just need to take care of yourself and the children."
"good."
Guan Wenru simply couldn't feel at ease.
When she got home, she would often drift off into a daze.
That evening, Zeng Chunlan came over to comfort her, and Guan Wanxin then learned that her granddaughter already knew about He Yanzhi's injury.
In fact, He Yanzhi had been seriously injured a few months ago, and the injury had not yet healed. He was in a hurry to lead his troops to charge, mainly to find Wan Tao, which made this injury even more serious.
Guan Wenru forced a smile in front of Zeng Chunlan and other military families.
...
A few days later, Zhang Zhongwu received the items and personally took them to Courtyard No. 2.
Knock on Wan Tao's door.
After calming down for a few days, Gu Siyu has already figured out her backup plan and is just waiting for Zhang Zhongwu and the others to arrive.
Zhang Zhongwu handed the satchel and pocket watch to Wan Tao's mother, Aunt Wan, saying, "These were found while clearing the battlefield at the front lines... they belong to Comrade Wan Tao."
His unit... was ambushed by enemy heavy firepower during an infiltration mission a few months ago and has been out of contact ever since.
After extensive searching and analysis, the organization has preliminarily determined that Comrade Wan Tao has...sacrificed his life.
"Sacrifice?!" Aunt Wan let out a piercing wail and collapsed to the ground. "My son! It can't be! My son was so capable, how could he have sacrificed himself!"
Upon hearing the news again, Gu Siyu swayed.
Zhang Zhongwu's expression was grave. "Auntie, please accept my condolences!"
Aunt Wan didn't immediately take the handbag. Once she was sure it was real, she covered her face, squatted down, her shoulders shaking violently as she let out a heart-wrenching cry, "My son, my son... how could you leave like this... what are we going to do..."
Hearing the crying, the two children started crying too!
Zhang Zhongwu stood silently, waiting for her to vent her grief.
After a while, Gu Siyu looked at Zhang Zhongwu with slightly red eyes, "Commander, what arrangements has the organization made for us, the families of martyrs?"
"..." Zhang Zhongwu's expression was not good. At this time, shouldn't Gu Siyu comfort her two stepsons first?
Aunt Wan was still crying when she heard Gu Siyu's words. She glared at her fiercely and said, "You heartless, vicious woman! Is it because you curse my son every day that he can't come back?!"
Gu Siyu wanted to retort, but with the leader present, she could only hold back.
She still needed the leader's help with something and couldn't let him dislike her even more.
Gu Siyu lowered her head and did not respond.
Anyway, she's leaving this place soon.
Wan Tao's accident had nothing to do with Gu Siyu, and Zhang Zhongwu would not let Aunt Wan take her anger out on Gu Siyu.
So when Aunt Wan stood up, ready to attack Gu Siyu, Zhang Zhongwu stopped her in time, saying, "Auntie, please don't do this. Bullets don't have eyes on the battlefield. This... we can't be superstitious, and we can't arbitrarily accuse people."
"Ah!" Aunt Wan broke down in tears again, "My son! Why is your life so miserable!"
After Aunt Wan finished crying, Zhang Zhongwu helped her to a chair, then placed Wan Tao's personal belongings on the table. Next, he took out an envelope and gave it to her.
"The organization will not forget Comrade Wan Tao's contributions, nor will it allow his family to be destitute."
According to regulations, a pension will be issued, and once it is approved by the organization, I will immediately bring it to my aunt.
The money and coupons in this envelope were collected by my comrades. Please use them first, Auntie. Also, considering that Wan Tao's child is still young, the organization will provide him with a certain living allowance.
Aunt Wan didn't care about money at this moment. She looked blank and leaned weakly against the back of the chair, sobbing.
Gu Siyu glanced at the envelope on the table, pursed her lips, and finally made up her mind, saying:
"Sir, I don't want the pension or the living allowance. With just this little bit of allowance, it's not enough for all of us. We can't just sit around and do nothing. I'm still young and capable of working, so... could the organization... arrange a job for me? I need a proper way to make a living!"
Zhang Zhongwu had considered this point before coming here.
After all, the organization can't help forever, and someone in the family still needs to have a stable income.
Now that Gu Siyu has offered to go to work, Zhang Zhongwu still thinks she's a decent person, at least she's thinking about how to make a living.
Zhang Zhongwu's expression softened considerably, and he nodded. "The organization will consider your job, but positions are currently quite tight, so it may take some time to coordinate. You can share your thoughts."
"Sir, I need to go to the factory in Beijing. There must be a job there."
"!!"
Beijing city…
Everyone in the room was stunned.
A moment later, Aunt Wan was the first to come to her senses. She rushed towards Gu Siyu and slapped her hard across the face. "You bitch! You bitch! My son just left, and you're already trying to run away!"
After Gu Siyu finished speaking, she began to observe the leader's expression. Caught off guard, she allowed Aunt Wan to succeed.
She has a short temper, and she is also a widow. Even if she doesn't like Wan Tao, he is still her husband in name only.
She's a widow now!
She married Wan Tao for two reasons: first, she wanted to stay in the family compound; second, Wan Tao was, after all, the regimental political commissar, and his future was limitless.
