Chapter 133: Chapter 0133 Ouyang Zijin1_1

With the hope that the bulletproof vest could reach Lu Jiang’s hands, Feng Qingxue took the remittance slip that Lu Jiang had sent and went to the county town to withdraw the money.

The amount was too large, and the staff didn’t dare to make the decision on their own. They summoned their superior, continually examining Feng Qingxue as if they couldn’t believe it.

"My man is a soldier; he’s off to fight. He sent all his savings before going to battle," Feng Qingxue stated calmly, not blaming the staff for their suspicion. After all, in this era of poverty, five thousand was a considerable sum.

Only in the eighties and nineties did the phrase "ten thousand households" come into existence.

Five thousand is half of ten thousand.

Hearing Feng Qingxue’s words, the manager and staff members were solemnly respectful.

They had the utmost respect for each soldier going to the battlefield and treated soldiers’ families with particular preference.

In their eyes, going to the battlefield signified a life-or-death scenario.

Those who survived were heroes, and the wounded or dead were still heroes. Heroes’ families deserved preferential treatment because every soldier gave themselves for the motherland, using their flesh and blood to safeguard the nation’s peace!

Even if Feng Qingxue was simply Lu Jiang’s romantic interest, they treated her as they would a soldier’s family member.

At this moment, the staff remembered that Feng Qingxue came to withdraw money every month, always one hundred and twenty yuan. It seemed to be from Lu Jiang too. They remembered clearly because no one else in the county sent this much money to their lover every month.

Upon informing the manager about this matter, he immediately arranged for Feng Qingxue’s withdrawal.

Five thousand, not a cent less, one bundle of big unity notes contained one hundred bills, a total of five bundles, five thick bundles.

Feng Qingxue turned around and deposited it into the bank immediately, along with the one hundred and twenty yuan Lu Jiang sent each month.

She relied on the supplies stored in her space for daily consumption, so she hadn’t touched a single cent of this money.

She hoped for Lu Jiang’s safe return, but feared the unpredictability of gunfire. If Lu Jiang returned safely, they would rejoice greatly. But if something went wrong, she couldn’t keep this money for herself; it should be given to Lu Jiang’s father.

After depositing the money and putting the deposit book into her space, Feng Qingxue trudged towards home with a heavy heart.

Her mind was filled with anxiety, so she had no inclination to go to the black market to sell some grain to people in desperate need.

She hadn’t walked far when she heard someone calling her. Feng Qingxue looked up and was taken aback, "Sister-in-law?"

"It’s me calling you! I thought I saw wrong, had a closer look, and I was right, it is you!" Xiaohong was beaming as she held Feng Qingxue’s hand, unable to believe that the ordinary-looking girl before her eyes was the gorgeous lady that had visited her house. Young, beautiful girls who wished to hide their beauty should learn from her.

She didn’t recognize Feng Qingxue, but she recognized her outfit.

In this town, few people possessed such a fine military coat and Lei Feng cap because the military uniform had different ranks, and the coat Feng Qingxue was wearing was typical of senior officers.

The military coat, Lei Feng cap, the distinctive big scarf, and shoes were what she wore when she visited their house.

Temporarily concealing her concern for Lu Jiang, Feng Qingxue laughed, "Such a coincidence, meeting sister-in-law the first time I entered town after New Year! Although it’s a bit late, I still want to wish you a Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year! Come on, it’s not easy to come into town, come around to my house."

Xiaohong, without asking, took Feng Qingxue home only to discover that there were guests.

Upon seeing Feng Qingxue, Chen Ming introduced her after a brief moment of surprise, "You came right on time, sister. Let me introduce you, this is my war comrade and also Lu Jiang’s, named Ouyang Zijin."
