Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

This chicken only costs ten yuan?

Almost everyone in the courtyard said Liu Aiguo had gone mad.

"Well... at the pigeon market, a big rooster costs at most two yuan..."

"That's right, hens are worth a bit more than roosters, but definitely no more than three yuan... isn't giving ten yuan too much?"

"He doesn't want the ransom, so ten yuan is reasonable!"

……

Xu Damao chuckled and said, "Alright, alright... then I'll save my chicken for you!"

"okay!"

Liu Aiguo smiled slightly at Qin Huairu, then pulled Yu Li back into the house.

Back inside, Yu Li said, "Brother Aiguo... that chicken can't be worth ten yuan, can it?"

"No way!" Liu Aiguo said, "The market price is at most three yuan and fifty cents. I buy these, of course I know the price!"

Yu Li said, "Then you still..."

"Hehe..." Liu Aiguo laughed, "Can't I say I'll buy Xu Damao's chickens for ten yuan now, and then go back on my word later?"

Yu Li asked, "Why do we have to do this?"

Liu Aiguo pointed at Qin Huairu: "You'll see when she has to pay compensation!"

……

Inside the courtyard outside.

The three old men are ready.

The crowd, some sitting and some standing, watched Qin Huairu and Xu Damao, gossiping amongst themselves.

Qin Huairu was in great distress.

but……

There's no way around it; if you get caught stealing, you have to find a way to cover it up.

"Alright... everyone, please be quiet!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at everyone and said, "You all know what happened, right... Xu Damao's family lost a chicken, which was stolen by Qin Huairu's son, Banggeng!"

"Now let me ask you, Qin Huairu, where did the chicken go?"

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and said, "The children secretly burned and ate it..."

wow...

The people in the compound were in an uproar again.

Without your help, can the child eat?

Can he do it?

"Xu Damao!" Uncle Yi said, "The chickens are all gone now... You're the one who suffered the most, what do you think we should do?"

At the same time, Uncle Yi also looked at Uncle Er and Uncle San.

Before Xu Damao could speak, Yan Bugui said, "Our compound has been peaceful for over ten years, without a single petty thief. Now, someone is actually stealing things!"

"I suggest we just send the stick-like creature to the police station and let the officers punish it!"

"Those who deserve to go to jail should go to jail; those who don't change their ways should go to juvenile detention centers!"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu became frightened.

Her son is only six years old; he can't go to a juvenile detention center.

But in this era of material scarcity, theft was a serious crime.

Let alone theft, I heard that someone was sentenced to thirteen years in prison for indecent assault for whistling at a girl on the street a while ago.

Children must not go in.

"Thump..." Qin Huairu knelt down immediately: "Bang Geng is still a child... Please, don't send him to the police station. I will teach him a lesson and make sure he never steals again!"

"Please give Bang Geng a chance!"

Everyone was silent for a while.

Yi Zhonghai said, "This theft sounds bad if word gets out, and it will damage the reputation of our compound. I think we shouldn't send it to the station... let's handle it ourselves!"

"Xu Damao... what do you think?"

Xu Damao didn't want to send the sticks to the police station either.

After all, it's just a chicken. If we really send the stalk in, we'll have made an irreconcilable enemy of the Jia family.

Not worth it!

"I want compensation!"

Xu Damao said, "Qin Huairu just needs to apologize to everyone in our compound in person, and then compensate me for the money I owed for my hen... I won't ask for more..."

"You all heard it... Liu Aiguo just offered to buy my chickens for ten yuan each, so just give me ten yuan!"

As he spoke, Xu Damao extended his hand to Qin Huairu.

"puff……"

Qin Huairu almost vomited blood.

Now she finally understood what Liu Aiguo had been up to.

Damn it... this guy dug a huge hole for me, he dug a hole for me!

This is outrageous!

Jia Zhangshi glared angrily and said, "Xu Damao...you're extorting me! You're robbing me! A chicken is worth ten yuan?"

Of course not.

A chicken, an old hen, costs at most three yuan.

{Linglong}703216220

At that time, even the best pork belly was only 60 cents a pound. Even without coupons, it would cost at most 10 cents a pound.

Ten yuan can buy ten jin of top-quality pork belly.

So they ate a shriveled old hen?

puff……

Jia Zhangshi also vomited blood.

But there is no way!

Even if you vomit blood, you still have to pay.

Either give me money, or send the juvenile delinquent to a juvenile detention center.

"I'll give it to you..." Qin Huairu gritted her teeth, went home to get a ten-yuan note, and handed it to Xu Damao.

Chapter 028 Qin Huairu Cuts Another Piece of Flesh

Qin Huairu's heart was bleeding.

Her monthly salary was only 27.5 yuan, making her the lowest-paid employee in the steel rolling mill.

but……

That being said, although Qin Huairu's salary was low, it was still enough to feed her family of several people.

At that time, the government distributed food per capita every month.

In other words, the Jia family's grain was no less than that of other families.

Each person receives 30 jin of mixed flour per month.

Qin Huairu's family consists of three adults and two children, which is enough for four people, about 120 jin of flour.

These noodles were issued by the state with grain coupons.

She would take her food ration book to the grain station every month, and could buy grain simply by spending money.

The price of the mixed noodles is 11 cents per pound.

In other words, Qin Huairu only needed 13.2 yuan to buy 120 jin of mixed flour.

Now, she's going to take out ten yuan in one go.

One hundred and ten jin (approximately 50 kg).

They just replaced it with a different chicken.

Huge loss...

It’s a loss to grandma’s house!

But I've never done it before; the water got me caught stealing chickens.
