Chapter 612: Chapter 0612 Sacrifice oneself for others6_1

Upon hearing Zhu Rong’s words, Wang Baozhu’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

So, once at the outpost, will she become like the Empress in the operas she watched as a child? Superior to all but one?

The thought of such a scenario made Wang Baozhu ecstatic. She was already accustomed to being on top, enjoying the feeling of being indulged by everyone. In this place, she wasn’t short of food, but personal freedoms were scarce. It was quite a discomforting change for her.

Zhu Fugui suddenly stood up, "If Dad is a senior leader, then as his son, can’t I command the troops?"

What kind of logic is that? Zhu Rong felt a surge of frustration. Who had been feeding these ideas to his son? Does being the son of a senior leader equate to being qualified to command the subordinates in battle? Was this some kind of twisted joke about human lives?

But at this moment, he couldn’t show his disapproval.

"Of course it’s true. Why else would I transfer to the outpost?" Given Zhu Rong’s status, it was a given that he would be a leader at the outpost. He had not deceived Wang Baozhu. He answered her but ignored his son, and then he laid down a fragrant bait. "Furthermore, you will receive a military allowance. In addition to wages and subsidies, the troop would give me an additional subsidy. We will save a good amount of money each month, then you can do whatever you wish!"

Wang Baozhu rolled her eyes and said, "Whether it’s true or not, I don’t know. We need endorsements from your leader colleagues. I would only believe you if they say so. Besides, they must not only give us money but also food supplies. Food is more important than money."

"Yes, yes, yes! We need to be fed well, and there must be meat!" Zhu Fugui interrupted with a greedy expression on his face.

Zhu Rong had no choice but to find Commander Chen and Ye Zhengjun.

All was ready except for one crucial element. This missing part needed to be provided by the leaders, deemed satisfactory in words to his wife and son.

Upon hearing his request, Commander Chen said, "Your arrival is timely, Comrade Zhu Rong. After some private discussions among us - between myself, General Ye, Political Commissar Zheng, Chief Su, Chief Zhao and Chief Lu - each of us will deduct ten yuan from our own salaries every month as a living subsidy for your entire family. As for the food supply issue, you don’t need to worry. There are plenty of soldiers in the entire military region- skimping a bit here and there from their shares will be enough for Wang Baozhu and your two sons. From here on, it will be delivered to the outpost along with the rest of the supplies."

Zhu Rong chose this path for the safety of his unit and his family. Who in the regiment would stand by and see his family left without food and clothes? It’s just a matter of a few people’s rations. Besides the family allowances, the provisions required by the troops are actually very little.

"As for your son’s request," Commander Chen smiled, "Rest assured there will be meat in the supplies."

"Comrade Commander..." Zhu Rong was so moved that he didn’t know how to express his deep gratitude.

Power, money, and food, these are what will appeal to Wang Baozhu and her two sons.

Ye Zhengjun patted Zhu Rong’s shoulder, "Comrade Zhu Rong, we hope you will soon complete the reformation of your wife and children, creating more good people in this world. We look forward to your early return to the team. We always welcome your return!"

Zhu Rong saluted, "Please rest assured, Commander, and Commanding Officer, while holding my position firmly, I will diligently reform them, to make sure they won’t burden or trouble the country, the people, or our fellow villagers! Now, can the Commander and Commanding Officer come with me to testify to Comrade Wang Baozhu that what I said earlier was not a lie."
