The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 55 Favor

Chapter 55 Favor
Li Wu and several other sentry officers saw Sima and Yuanwai off.

after come back.

Li Wu's face looked unhappy. Another sentry officer called his men and left directly. The soldiers who were working honestly in the camp could also feel that the atmosphere was wrong.

"head."

Someone called out softly, their tone worried.

Qi Shannian nodded, found an opportunity, put down the work in his hands, and came to Li Wu's side. The brothers behind him watched silently. Although Li Wu was a sentry officer, he was still working and throwing out the rotten wooden boards in the house.

"General Li Shao."

Qi Shannian winked.

Li Wu was amused and had a good impression of Qi Shannian. This guy had good character and was a reliable person. Li Wu looked up to him and was willing to promote him, so he gave him face.

Qi Shannian whispered, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Wu did not hide anything, but he did not tell everything either. He only revealed what happened just now involving Wang Xin.

After listening.

Qi Shannian was silent for a while and helped Li Wu carry a wooden board out.

Li Wu is the sentry officer.

Qi Shannian admires the fact that he can work here.

"I don't understand this new commander either." The two men moved the wooden boards out of the barracks. Qi Shannian took the lead in doing the difficult work and walked out backwards. After he went out and there was no one around, Qi Shannian spoke.

"Who isn't?"

Li Wu also sighed so.

"Dusi wants to be a good person, but he's too young. Military training is a big deal, but he's thinking about finding a livelihood for us soldiers. If the training is delayed, he'll be the one to regret it."

"People outside look down on soldiers, how can you say that about yourself?"

Li Wu was unhappy.

Qi Shannian didn't care.

"That's the truth. Who among the common people doesn't despise us soldiers? Two years ago, Old Zhou from our team borrowed from everyone he could and finally got a matchmaker to help him arrange a marriage. He finally managed to find a match, but the matchmaker kept it a secret. When the other party found out that Old Zhou's family was in the army, they called off the engagement that night. Old Zhou's son was so angry that he ran away and never came back. It's unknown whether he's dead or alive."

Qi Shannian became more and more sad as he spoke, "Poor old Zhou, he died years ago, and there wasn't even anyone to mourn him."

Li Wu regained his composure and stopped trying to stop Qi Shannian.

Let him vent.

After he finished complaining, Li Wu smiled and said, "I've heard of that old Zhou too. I also know that he borrowed the most money from you when he was alive. But now that he's dead, you can't get your money back."

"If he doesn't want to come back, then he won't come back. Do I have to go look for him underground?"

Qi Shannian seemed to care about nothing.

Li Wu secretly admired him and couldn't help asking, "It's okay if you don't get the money back, but I heard you even wore mourning for him. Many people laughed at you at the time. What were you thinking?"

"I have been an orphan since I was young. I have lived in the east and west, and I have to accept the kindness of my parents for keeping me alive."

Qi Shannian doesn't care about the Tao.

Li Wu nodded.

"Our new commander looks a bit like you, or maybe you look like him." Li Wu and Qi Shannian threw the wooden board onto the garbage dump, clapped their hands, and then patted Qi Shannian on the shoulder.

Qi Shannian was stunned.

"Arrange for someone to take the sign and go to collect the rice."

Li Wu gave an order.

Qi Shannian came back to his senses and couldn't help shaking his head.

He is a Dusi.

Who do you think you are?

How can we compare?

The sun had already passed its zenith, and it was time to take a break. No one was an iron man, and dinner would be served in an hour or so. Qi Shannian called two people and asked them to go and collect the rice, holding two wooden signs with ten grams of rice.

The Dusi has a special chef to cook.

The sentry officer was entitled to four ounces of meat and half a liter of wine every day.

The soldiers were given two kilograms of rice every day.

That's the rule.

After a long time.

Qi Shannian and others came back.

The three of them looked even darker than Li Wu and the others just now.

The other two cursed all the way. "Not only is the rations distributed today less, but they're damp too. How damn cruel!"

"They are all so greedy that they will surely go to hell after they die. The judge will pull out their tongues with iron pliers and pour boiling copper liquid down their throats. No matter how horrible the death, it will be a miserable death."

"Damn it."

After they came back, they found that Dusi was also there.

Didn’t he say he would come back tomorrow? Why did he come back a day early? I don’t know why, but everyone’s mood became better after seeing Dusi.

Wang Xin was speechless.

The curses were so dirty. I don’t know what the guests would think when they heard it. Fortunately, I kept assuring Zhang Dehui on the way that the person I chose was absolutely reliable.

Zhang Dehui, the shopkeeper of the Xue family, looked at Li Wu deliberately.

Although Wang Xin was a commander, Zhang Dehui was not afraid of him as long as he was not wrong.

Doing business with officials.

Zhang Dehui has always avoided it.

However, since his wife had spoken and he knew that the person was from the Jia family, Zhang Dehui knew the seriousness of the matter, so he accepted the business with a pinch of his nose. It was just that he would make less money, so he would just consider it as paying an extra fee for the service along the way.

Since he had seized the opportunity, he did not dare to offend Wang Dusi, but facing Wang Dusi's subordinates, Zhang Dehui was still willing to show resistance.

To avoid trouble with the little devil in the future.

Who was that just now?

To ensure that the goods will never be stolen in the camp, the people on your side must be reliable, right?

Li Wu blushed for a moment, but his dark skin didn't show it. He was quite open-minded and instead laughed and scolded, "You're full of shit. Take my food and cook it with my brothers."

Qi Shannian wanted to say something but stopped himself.

He wanted to tell the truth, but when he thought about the stranger next to the commander, he must be an important person and it was related to the livelihood mentioned by the commander, so he shut his mouth and did not tell Li Wu that the sentry's salary was also withheld today.

along the way.

Wang Xin naturally felt Zhang Dehui's inner resistance, so Wang Xin pulled Zhang Dehui to take a look behind the barracks.

A forced deal is not a deal at all.

It's human nature.

It's clearly a win-win situation, there's no need to create bitterness and hatred.

Zhang Dehui couldn't refuse, so he followed Wang Xin to the back of the barracks. Zhang Dehui had been doing business for decades, and although it was the first time Wang Xin met Zhang Dehui, he thought that as long as he was a businessman, there was no reason for him not to see the benefits.

"This place is close to the dock, and the Xue family has a big business. We can rent a few rooms in the camp to use as warehouses. Not only is it convenient to get in and out, but it's also safe. You can rest assured."

Wang Xin introduced the benefits.

Zhang Dehui saw Wang Xin's intentions and disagreed, retorting, "The Xue family trusts Wang Dusi, but Wang Dusi won't stay here forever. He might stay for a year or two, or three to five years, but he'll eventually be promoted. The Xue family doesn't care who comes next, and this business is over."

Have a look.

This is the benefit of having an elderly person at home.

We must implement the favors.

I have to owe the Xue family a favor.

The Xue family’s greatest wealth is that they have an old manager like Zhang Dehui.

Wang Xin didn't explain any more.

Just accept it. Too many lice won’t itch, and too many debts won’t worry.

Anyway, the number of favors I owe to others is increasing.

It doesn’t matter who you owe it to.

The more you owe, the more powerful you are.

It would be wonderful if you could be the boss and everyone would come to please you.

"No money required, just give me the goods directly, and give me the best price."
