First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 307 Don’t Be My Master Again

Qian Feng was a simple-minded man. He got anxious when he heard what Zhao Xiuwan said, "Did someone go to your store to cause trouble?" He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don't be afraid. We still have some skills in Mangcheng. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in your store must be very brave!"

"Husband!" Zhao Xiuwan couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. Why is this guy so stubborn?

"Who would go to my place to cause trouble? I am just trying to find a place for your good brother to stay." Zhao Xiuwan said, "Are you planning to make him a laborer? Or to guard someone else's house and obey other people's wishes?"

Qian Feng finally felt relieved and scratched his head, "Madam is indeed a beautiful and kind person. Okay, okay, wait a minute, I will go and talk to her tomorrow."

"Oh, why wait until tomorrow? Go now!" Zhao Xiuwan saw that this guy was still pushing it to tomorrow, raised her hand and pinched him, "Go quickly!"

"Okay!" Qian Feng didn't think about anything else. He felt that what his wife said made sense. He couldn't help Nangong Rui before, but now the restaurant business is very good. Seeing that it is making money, he has some capital to help Nangong Rui. So he hurriedly left the house at Zhao Xiuwan's urging.

After asking around for a while, Qian Feng finally found the small courtyard of Nangong's house. As soon as he entered, he was knocked backwards by the smoke.

It is already spring, the ice and snow have melted, and things that were frozen in the winter are now exposed. The yard is dirty and smelly, and the feces in the dry toilet have overflowed.

Nangong Rui is now trying hard to clean the feces in the dry toilet with a shovel. The whole yard is so smelly that it is disgusting.

Wang had already taken a few daughters-in-law and daughters and her grandchildren to hide in a corner, just watching, not offering any help. It was a bit chilly, but Nangong Rui was already sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Brother Qian!" Seeing Qian Feng coming, Nangong Rui was very embarrassed and hurried to greet him, but he was dirty and smelly, so he stopped after only a few steps and looked at Qian Feng a little awkwardly, "It's really too dirty here, Brother Qian, what can I do for you?"

"Yeah." Qian Feng was too embarrassed to cover his nose, so he could only hold his breath and breathe through his mouth, saying, "Well, I heard that you came out of the general's mansion."

Nangong Rui's expression faded and he nodded, "The general doesn't want me anymore."

"Hey, don't say that." Seeing Nangong Rui like this, Qian Feng was moved with sympathy, "Your sister-in-law said that you can come to work in my restaurant in the future. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I can guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing."

Nangong Rui was startled, and just as he was about to refuse, Wang Shi jumped out, "Oh, General Qian, you are such a nice person, and your wife is also a good person. In this case, I will thank General Qian on behalf of our Nangong Rui!"

Although Qian Feng also looked down on Wang, she was Nangong Rui's mother after all, so he had to give her some face in front of Nangong Rui, so he nodded.

"Then it's settled!" He said to Nangong Rui, "Come tomorrow, and we can discuss the wages. I'll talk to your sister-in-law and give you a satisfactory figure! Let's not argue about it anymore. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back now. I'll wait for you at the restaurant tomorrow!"

The stench in this yard is so nauseating that even if you close your nose and don't breathe through it, it still stings your eyes.

Qian Feng did not dare to stay any longer, he just waved goodbye and slipped out of the yard. After running a long way in one breath, he let out a big sigh of relief, almost suffocated to death. What kind of life is this Nangong family living!

After Qian Feng left, Nangong Rui looked at Wang, "Although I agreed to come, my lord, you should do less in the future! I only came because you were beaten. Don't agree to anything for me in the future."

Wang smiled awkwardly, "Son, I am your mother after all. No matter how angry you are, you can't erase the fact that I gave birth to you. Don't be angry. Now that you are back, let's live a good life as a family. I have visited the Qian family's restaurant before. It has good business. It is all patronized by your former comrades in the army. You can get a good salary there. Look at how broken our family is. Look at your nephews and nieces who are all crying out for hunger. Can you really bear to see them suffer with the adults?"

Wang knew Nangong Rui's weak spot. Seeing that Nangong Rui's eyes were still a little cold, she started crying again. "My child, your brothers are confused. Now they are locked up and doing hard labor, and we are not allowed to go to see them. Now they are gone, and we, orphans and widows, can only regard them as dead! Your damn father has fallen in love with a stinky widow and abandoned our whole family. Look, if you don't care about us anymore, we will have no choice but to die! Do you really want to force your mother, your sister-in-law, and your nephew and niece to die?"

Nangong Rui frowned, but his eyes finally softened.

He stopped talking and just continued cleaning the toilet.

He felt that he was also responsible for the current state of the family. If he had not indulged his brothers and father, things would not have ended up like this. It was because he did not discipline them strictly enough.

This is all we can do, let’s take it one step at a time!

Nangong Rui really went to the restaurant the next day, but just as he arrived at Hongyun Restaurant, Wang came along with her youngest grandson.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Nangong Rui felt like his head was twice as big as his own!

"I'm just following you to see for myself because I'm afraid you'll be honest," Wang said with a smile.

"What do you want to do?" Nangong Rui asked anxiously.

"Hey, General Qian is your good friend, so he won't say anything to you, but it's hard to say about his wife." Wang lowered her voice and said, "I came here to see you and help you. I want to make sure your wages are not deducted too much!"

That woman Zhao Xiuwan still has the leverage in her hand. With her around, that woman will not harm her son.

This is what Wang thought in her heart.

Nangong Rui asked Wang to go back, and Wang immediately started crying and making a scene again. Nangong Rui almost wanted to die, so he hurriedly pulled Wang up and said, "You are crazy! You went to the general's mansion to make trouble, and now you come here to make trouble. What do you want?"

"If you take me with you, I won't make trouble!" said Wang.

"Go ahead. But don't speak again for a while!" Nangong Rui said with a headache, "Also, don't be my boss anymore!"

“Okay, okay, whatever you say goes!” Wang agreed first, but she was disdainful in her heart. If she wasn’t watching, the fool Nangong Rui would definitely suffer!
