Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Liu Aiguo was even more satisfied with Yu Li.

She's pretty, capable, and has a fiery personality; she won't suffer if she doesn't get along with her neighbors.

Such a daughter-in-law is almost perfect.

While Yu Li was doing laundry, Liu Aiguo started preparing lunch.

Yu Li has arrived, so we must treat her well; she's our wife, after all.

There are two dishes ready to serve.

One is braised pork belly, and the other is boiled fish.

These were all leftovers that Liu Aiguo cooked yesterday and put in the system.

These dishes, once taken from the system, are fresh, steaming hot, and practically indistinguishable from dishes that have just come out of the pot.

What should we do next?

Tomato and egg, please.

The tomatoes were grown within Liu Aiguo's own system; they were large and delicious, even better than most fruits.

Liu Aiguo took out about ten tomatoes from the system space and placed them on the table.

I made two scrambled eggs.

Finally, I took out a small rooster from the system, cut it into pieces, and made a dry-fried spicy chicken.

Just as Li finished washing and hanging the clothes to dry, Liu Aiguo had already prepared the meal.

As Yu Li entered the house, Liu Aiguo had just brought out the dishes and placed them on the table.

"what……"

Seeing the four dishes and a pot of secret recipe on the table, Yu Li froze, saying, "Brother Aiguo, you've already... cooked the meal..."

What kind of food is this?

chicken?

Braised pork!

Fish!

There's also scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

OMG…

This is such a lavish spread!

Even ordinary people can't eat this well during the Chinese New Year.

This……

Yu Li secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Hehehe..." Liu Aiguo chuckled and said, "You've been working hard all morning, sit down and eat!"

Mmm...

Yu Li sat down, feeling a surge of emotion.

The two had just picked up their chopsticks to eat.

Suddenly, Xu Damao exclaimed, "Who...who the hell stole my chicken...!"

Chapter 025 Jia Zhangshi: I saw with my own eyes that Liu Aiguo stole the chicken.

"Who stole my chicken...!"

"That bastard stole my chicken..."

Xu Damao ran out of the house and started cursing loudly in the yard.

Yesterday, he went to show a movie to the villagers in Hongqi Commune. As a thank you, the brigade gave Xu Damao two old hens.

Both of these hens are laying hens.

Xu Damao put it in his bamboo basket.

But when Xu Damao went to feed the chickens at noon, he suddenly discovered that one of his chickens was missing.

There were two old hens, but only one was left.

The chicken couldn't have run away on its own, because Xu Damao, for double insurance, not only put the chicken in a bamboo basket and covered it with a board, but also tied it with a rope.

The chicken couldn't possibly escape.

Whether it's a board or a rope, the chicken can't possibly escape on its own.

Wow…

Xu Damao was cursing loudly in the yard, and the neighbors came out one by one.

why?

Although there are many beasts and disgusting people in the compound, in the past ten years or so, no one's house has ever been robbed.

There are now thieves in the compound.

Everyone is very concerned.

Uncle Yi, Uncle Er, and Uncle San also came to the backyard.

Liu Haizhong asked Xu Damao, "Damao... there are no thieves in our yard... are you sure you're not mistaken? Could it be that the chickens ran away on their own?"

"Yes!"

One neighbor said, "If it was theft, there's no reason why they would steal one of your chickens and then leave you the other one!"

The neighbors in the compound didn't believe that the chicken had been stolen.

Xu Damao didn't try to make any distinctions.

He walked to the eaves of his house and carried out the large bamboo basket.

"Neighbors...look, these are the two chickens that the villagers gave me yesterday after I worked so hard to show them the movie. Not only did I tie them up, but I also put a wooden plank from the future on top of them!"

"Just ask everyone... do you think this chicken can escape by itself?"

Upon hearing this, the neighbors' eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh my god...it really was stolen!"

"Our compound has been burgled!"

"Who would steal a chicken!"

"There are no thieves in our compound!"

Everyone is talking about it!

Uncle Yi said, "Then let's have a meeting...to discuss who stole the chicken..."

The crowd rushed into the central courtyard.

The three old men sat down around the small table.

As soon as she sat down, Jia Zhangshi raised her hand and said, "Three uncles... I know, I know who stole the chicken!"

shuh...

All eyes turned to Jia Zhangshi.

Grandpa Yi asked, "Grandma Jia, did you see someone stealing chickens?"

“I saw it!” Jia Zhangshi raised her hand and said, “Liu Aiguo stole the chicken… I saw it with my own eyes… They not only stole the chicken, but they also cooked it and are eating it in the house right now!”

Jia Zhangshi's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Liu Aiguo's house.

Uncle Yan Bugui, however, said, "This... can Liu Aiguo take Xu Damao's chicken?"

"Exactly!" Xu Damao himself didn't believe it, saying, "I don't believe it... Brother Liu isn't that kind of person, and besides, Brother Liu isn't short of food. Getting a chicken is a piece of cake for him, isn't it?"

Jia Zhangshi said, "You can't say that... Although it's easy for Liu Aiguo to get a chicken, it still costs money, doesn't it?"

"I saw it with my own eyes..."

"If you don't believe me, go search Liu Aiguo's house!"

Now, the three old men in the courtyard were truly at a loss.

It was witnessed by Jia Zhangshi herself.

We have no choice but to investigate.

"Let's go..."

Uncle Yi said, "Let's go ask Liu Aiguo in his room!"

Wow…

Everyone headed towards Liu Aiguo's house.

A sly smile of triumph crept across Jia Zhangshi's lips: "Trying to fight us? Liu Aiguo... you can forget about this wife. I see you can't explain yourself today!"
