Chapter 127 Qian Feng was frightened and sweating
"I just showed you a hundred thousand taels of silver note!" Zhao Xiuwan took out the silver note she had put away. "Look, five thousand taels each, twenty in total!"
"Who knows if it's true or not!" Li Yuzhu laughed, "Besides, if all these are yours, why would you give me another 5,000 taels of silver for the shares? If you don't want my 5,000 taels of silver, forget it! I'm happy to save money too!"
After saying this, Li Yuzhu was about to put the five thousand taels of silver away.
Zhao Xiuwan got a little anxious when she saw this. She quickly grabbed Li Yuzhu's arm and said, "I'm asking you to borrow it!" She looked gloomy when she said this. She didn't look as bright and cheerful as before.
"Look, I told you you had no money!" Li Yuzhu smiled, "Your 100,000 taels of silver note was really just a bluff!"
"What do you know!" Zhao Xiuwan said unconvinced, "I just can't use it, not that I don't have it."
"If it can't be used, it means it doesn't exist!" Li Yuzhu said to her.
Zhao Xiuwan was so angry that she said, "I won't talk to you anymore. Go write the IOU first! Don't be jealous when I make money in the future!"
Li Yuzhu said, "I'm not jealous. I naturally hope you can make money. After all, you still have to pay me the interest!"
Zhao Xiuwan was speechless for a moment and couldn't find any words to refute.
The two of them, one angrily and the other smiling, went to a teahouse nearby and asked the shopkeeper for paper and pen. Zhao Xiuwan wrote a promissory note to Li Yuzhu on the spot. There were two copies of the promissory note. After they put their fingerprints on each copy, she and Li Yuzhu each got one. After Li Yuzhu put away the promissory note, Zhao Xiuwan got Li Yuzhu's five thousand taels of silver note.
After she put the banknote away, she just snorted at Li Yuzhu and went home with a proud look on her face.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Qian Feng rummaging through the drawers at home. All the clothes in the drawers were turned out and piled on the floor. Qian Feng's face was pale and sweat was dripping down his forehead.
"Madam, you're back just in time. Have you seen the small box I hid in my clothes?" Qian Feng asked hurriedly when he saw Zhao Xiuwan coming in.
"What box? I didn't see it!" Zhao Xiuwan was already holding her breath, and when she saw Qian Feng this time, she felt that he was so cowardly. He obviously brought so much money back but didn't tell her and kept it hidden. However, Zhao Xiuwan also knew what the money was used for. Qian Feng had said before that he was going to exchange a lot of silver to pay the military pay for the New Year.
So even though Zhao Xiuwan got the silver note worth 100,000 taels of silver, she didn't dare to use any of it.
She must have been very bold to use other people's military funds.
"Ah?" Qian Feng's calves were cramping! This was a hundred thousand taels of silver, how could it disappear without a trace? Even if he said it was lost, I'm afraid no one would believe him!
"Madam, this is no joke." Qian Feng was sweating even more. It was the coldest time of the year, but he felt like he was in the hottest days of summer.
"I'm kidding? Did you tell me when you brought the money back?" Zhao Xiuwan snorted coldly. "Oh, now that the money is gone you come to me to ask for it!"
Qian Feng was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a dazed look in his eyes. He had searched everywhere inside and outside the house...but he didn't even find a piece of silver bill.
"You look like a coward!" Zhao Xiuwan snorted. She knew that a hundred thousand taels of silver was no joke, so she took out all the banknotes she had collected and threw them on the table. "Look! I collected them for you!"
Qian Feng turned his head to look at the table, and when his eyes fell on the silver bill, he felt as if he had been pardoned.
"Madam, you..." He quickly stood up and rushed to the table, picked up the banknotes and counted them, then looked at them carefully to make sure they had not been swapped. He then sighed, "Don't do this again in the future!" He was not willing to blame Zhao Xiuwan, even though he was so frustrated looking for the banknotes that he almost killed himself...
"My future?" Zhao Xiuwan didn't seem to be interested in Qian Feng at all. She couldn't help but sneered, "Of course I won't touch the money in your army. You don't have that much money yourself. Why do you care about my future?"
After saying that, she walked to the dressing table and took off her hairpins.
Qian Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh. His wife was very willful and he couldn't get angry. Forget it, as long as the money was not lost, everything would be fine.
Qian Feng didn't dare to keep the money at home anymore, so he decided to store it in the warehouse.
Seeing Qian Feng taking the money and walking away in a hurry, Zhao Xiuwan curled her lips in disdain, what a useless thing!
She took out the five thousand taels of silver note that Li Yuzhu had lent her, looked at it from left to right, and felt depressed. None of it was useful, and she still had to rely on herself for everything!
Su Jixiang, Qu Wanning and Hua Rui were having a great time strolling on the street.
Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning bought a lot of delicious food and finally gave them to Hua Rui to take back.
Hua Rui refused to accept them at first, but finally Su Jixiang pretended to be angry and said that if they didn't take them, they would not be allowed to play with them in the future. Hua Rui then accepted them all reluctantly.
Her house was not in the city, but in the nearest town to Mangcheng, so she had to leave early, otherwise she would not be able to return before dark.
"Is your husband stationed nearby?" Su Jixiang asked.
"No. He is also in Mangcheng." Hua Rui said.
"Then why do you live so far away?" Qu Wanning asked curiously. The town was ten miles away from Mangcheng. It would take half an hour to get there even if you walked fast. Besides, it was not safe after dark, so neither of them dared to stay with Hua Rui.
"It was Chunlin who said that the houses there are cheaper, only a quarter of the price of Mangcheng." Huarui smiled and said, "It's not that far actually, we can get there in half an hour."
"He's a grown man, and you're a woman! What if he gets into trouble on the road?" Qu Wanning said a little unhappily, "Why don't you persuade him to move to the city and buy a smaller house instead of going back and forth to Mangcheng."
"I don't usually go out." Hua Rui said with a smile, "Aren't you going to Sister Jixiang's house these days? That's why I come to Mangcheng more often."
"Hey, you should find a way to move to Mangcheng as soon as possible!" Qu Wanning muttered, "It's troublesome for us to see you! If you move here, we can be closer and we can all be closer!"
"I'll give it a try." Hua Rui smiled awkwardly, then said goodbye and left.
Qu Wanning and Su Jixiang sent her to the city gate, and couldn't help but sigh as they watched her leave with her bags.
"I thought she lived in Mangcheng!" Qu Wanning said, "I didn't expect she lived in the countryside."
"Not everyone has such good conditions as you." Su Jixiang patted Qu Wanning's shoulder. "Let's go, it's getting late, we have to go back."
