Chapter 434 It’s Really Them
This back view really looks like Zhao Xiuwan. Although she has a hood on her head that obscures her appearance, her walking posture and figure are exactly the same as Zhao Xiuwan's.
"I'm afraid the man next to her is also very familiar." Wei Ling snorted coldly and said slowly.
As soon as he raised his hand, Wei Feng, who was following behind him, hurried over. Wei Ling winked at the backs of the two people in front, and Wei Feng understood and followed.
Wei Ling pulled Su Jixiang into the showroom.
Su Jixiang was still stretching his head to look.
"You said the man's back looked familiar. Who is he?" Su Jixiang asked. She was so focused on looking at the woman's back that she didn't notice that there was another man following the woman.
Wei Ling's expression was not very good, and there was even a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"That figure should be Nangong Rui." Wei Ling said slowly.
Su Jixiang was stunned, then looked at Wei Ling in surprise.
She was not as familiar with Nangong Rui as Wei Ling was with him. Although Nangong Rui had been at home for a while, he was very silent during that time, and he tried not to go in front of Su Jixiang unless he could.
So Su Jixiang couldn't recognize Nangong Rui's back among so many people...
"What are they doing in the capital?" Su Jixiang looked at Wei Ling in surprise. "Does Qian Feng know about this?"
Qian Feng's life has not been good in the past few years.
Su Jixiang knew this.
He borrowed a lot of money from outside and even borrowed money from a loan shark. Fortunately, the owner of the loan shark was Qiao Er, who ran the Jingui Casino. He had waived a lot of Qian Feng's interest and only lent him money at ordinary interest. However, Qian Feng still borrowed new debts to pay off his old debts.
Qiao Er was willing to do this for the sake of Wei Ling and Su Jixiang. If it were someone else, the interest would probably cost Qian Feng his life.
It cannot be said that the store opened by Zhao Xiuwan is not profitable, but with only this store and Qian Feng's military salary, it is still very difficult to support Zhao Xiuwan's expenses. Moreover, Zhao Xiuwan never bargains for anything she likes. She just asks people to send it to the store and ask Qian Feng to pay. Even if Qian Feng is not at home, he will receive a large stack of IOUs and bills as soon as he gets home.
It’s not that he didn’t talk to Zhao Xiuwan, but he couldn’t stand Zhao Xiuwan crying.
Zhao Xiuwan had been pregnant once before and insisted on buying a large house she had her eye on. The owner of the house was Su Jixiang, but Qian Feng didn't know that. He had originally wanted to find someone to buy it. After Su Jixiang found out, he wanted to reduce Qian Feng's other silver and sell him the house at cost. But Wei Ling wouldn't let him.
Zhao Xiuwan's desire is a bottomless pit, and Qian Feng only knows how to obey her in everything. This will only encourage Zhao Xiuwan's temper, which will not benefit Qian Feng and his friends at all.
Moreover, the house Qian Feng lives in now is not small. It is twice as big as the small courtyard that Wei Ling bought. It is just located in the old city area.
The house that Zhao Xiuwan liked was in the new city area.
So it is not necessary to change the house. If Zhao Xiuwan really knew that she felt sorry for Qian Feng, she would definitely not make this request.
Wei Ling asked Su Jixiang to raise the price of the house to an outrageous level, forcing Qian Feng and Zhao Xiuwan to give up.
Zhao Xiuwan and Qian Feng couldn't afford to buy the house, but Zhao Xiuwan took advantage of her pregnancy and asked Qian Feng to buy another property. Unfortunately, the house didn't belong to Su Jixiang. Wei Ling went to find the boss behind the scenes but he refused to sell the house to Qian Feng. So Zhao Xiuwan looked at several houses in a row, but no one wanted to sell it.
Only then did she give up the idea of buying a house, but she asked Qian Feng to give her more than one hundred taels of silver every month, saying that she would need it after the child was born.
However, as long as the child is a Black Tiger Army soldier, he or she does not need to spend money on studying or martial arts from the moment they are born. The Black Tiger Army has a school that will adapt to local conditions and customize learning courses according to the specialties of each child, and it is free until the child is fourteen years old.
Therefore, as long as the children of Black Tiger soldiers were born, they basically didn't have to worry about anything from the moment they were born. The family only had to take care of their clothes and food. The Black Tiger Army would also allocate free rations based on the number of children in each family.
This is also one of the reasons why the Black Tiger Army now is completely different from the Black Tiger Army of the past.
Qian Feng lived on military pay, so where could he get so much money? Later, he was forced into a corner by Zhao Xiuwan, so he started to think of taking military pay and rations.
He actually withheld part of the military rations and sold them privately, and also withheld the military pay of his soldiers for various reasons. In the past, Qian Feng gave people a very good impression, and his subordinates were willing to obey him.
But after he acted like this a few times, his subordinates became restless. They were not fools and they knew there was something wrong just by asking a few questions.
So this matter was reported to Wei Ling.
Wei Ling ordered a thorough investigation of Qian Feng's account books and discovered that this guy used military pay to fill the deficit at home.
Wei Ling was furious and had Qian Feng beaten with fifty military sticks and asked him to balance the accounts. However, Qian Feng had no money to settle the accounts, so he had to borrow money from Qiao Er again.
Qiao Er did not lend the money to Qian Feng this time, because Qiao Er knew that Qian Feng was beyond help.
Unless he separates from Zhao Xiuwan and is no longer influenced by her.
But Qian Feng refused to separate from Zhao Xiuwan no matter what.
Qian Feng was punished and demoted to a seventh-rank military officer. He could no longer be responsible for local security and government affairs. Wei Ling actually wanted to transfer Qian Feng back to Mangcheng and let him look after Zhao Xiuwan nearby.
But Qian Feng was embarrassed. He was fined for embezzling military funds, so how could he return to Mangcheng with such dignity? He only asked to be a team leader in the border patrol.
Wei Ling agreed to his request and decided to send Qian Feng on border patrol after he recovered from his injury.
When Qian Feng was recuperating at home, Zhao Xiuwan fell and lost the child.
Qian Feng cried for several days, feeling that he was sorry for Zhao Xiuwan. If he hadn't been injured, Zhao Xiuwan wouldn't have fallen, let alone had a miscarriage.
When Su Jixiang and Wei Ling left Mangcheng, Qian Feng was still recuperating at home.
Therefore, Wei Ling and Su Jixiang found it very strange that they met someone in the capital who looked so similar to Zhao Xiuwan and Nangong Rui from behind.
Su Jixiang went in to try on clothes. Wei Feng, who had followed the couple to investigate, quickly returned and whispered to Wei Ling, "My Lord, those are really Madam Qian and Nangong Rui. They're staying in an inn not far ahead, using the name of husband and wife."
When Wei Ling heard this, he almost crushed the teacup in his hand!
