Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

6:20 a.m.

Just as dawn was breaking, Wang Feng and Qin Jingru were sound asleep when they heard a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock".

"Who is it!"

Wang Feng shouted impatiently.

"Knock knock knock".

There was no answer from outside the door; instead, the knocking became even louder.

Qin Jingru nudged Wang Feng's arm and urged, "Brother Wang Feng, let's go take a look quickly."

As she spoke, Qin Jingru got up and started getting dressed. Seeing this, Wang Feng had no choice but to get dressed and get up as well.

After the two got dressed, the person outside was still knocking on the door, which annoyed Wang Feng. Why was someone disturbing his sleep so early in the morning? He was sound asleep and knew without a doubt that it was someone from the Yan family.

Upon opening the door and seeing that it was indeed Auntie San and Yan Fugui, Wang Feng's face darkened.

"Knock, knock, knock! It's so early in the morning. It's very unethical to disturb people's sleep like this, do you know that?"

"Waaaaah, Wang Feng, Jingru, Auntie is begging you! I know it was wrong of Jiecheng to steal your chickens. Jiecheng misunderstood that Jingru was cooking for him, and that's why he wanted to get revenge on Jingru. Please forgive my Jiecheng. Auntie is kneeling down for you."

As the three women cried, they suddenly knelt down in front of Wang Feng and Qin Jingru with a thud.

"Auntie, what are you doing? Get up, get up!"

Qin Jingru helped the third aunt up, but the third aunt still wanted to kneel down. However, Qin Jingru was so strong that it was impossible for the third aunt to kneel down.

Wang Feng looked at the haggard-looking third aunt and Yan Fugui with bloodshot eyes, and said with a gloomy face:

"Old Yan, what exactly are you guys up to so early in the morning?"

Yan Fugui pulled out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, took out a crumpled Daqianmen cigarette and handed it to Wang Feng, his tone pleading.

"Wang Feng, I'm begging you, could you please forgive my Jie Cheng? Don't worry, we'll definitely compensate you for those two chickens."

Qin Jingru scoffed, "Teacher Yan, caught stealing chickens and expected to pay compensation? You're dreaming! And what about the two hens we had that got strangled in the middle of the night? That was done by your Yan Jiecheng, how do you account for that?"

Yan Fugui hurriedly explained, "Jingru, what happened last time is all in the past. Jiecheng swore a solemn oath, why don't you still believe me?"

"Yes, Jingru, you can trust Auntie San. I can guarantee that what happened last time was definitely not done by Jie Chengqian from our family," Auntie San hurriedly defended.

Wang Feng refused Yan Fugui's cigarette and sneered, "Heh, Lao Yan, Yan Jiecheng knows perfectly well whether it's true or not. Since he swore a solemn oath last time, and we can't produce any evidence, we can leave that matter at that. But this time we've caught him red-handed, so you can't deny it, can you?"

Yan Fugui nodded: "We admit it. As your third aunt just said, Jie Cheng misunderstood that Jingru was cooking for him, so he wanted to steal your chickens to get revenge. Wang Feng, we've been neighbors for so many years, please be kind and forgive Jie Cheng this once. I promise, if Jie Cheng dares to retaliate against you again, I will break his legs. Of course, we will definitely compensate you for what we owe."

The third aunt was crying her heart out; if Qin Jingru hadn't been supporting her, she would have knelt down again.

"Waaaaah, Wang Feng, Jingru, I'm begging you, Jie Cheng really knows he was wrong. If you don't forgive him, his life will be ruined."

Yan Fugui said with a pained expression, "Wang Feng, we'll compensate your family double for their losses. Please forgive Jie Cheng this time. Look at your third aunt, I can't persuade her no matter what I do. If she continues to be so heartbroken, she'll definitely fall seriously ill. Please forgive Jie Cheng this time, just this once, for the sake of our many years as neighbors. Is that alright?"

"Double? Old Yan, you're dreaming. Since you don't want to talk, we'll report it to the police after breakfast and let them handle it," Wang Feng sneered.

Before Yan Fugui could speak, Wang Feng interrupted, "Old Yan, think about it carefully. If Yan Jiecheng is taken away by the police, even if he keeps his job, he won't be able to get promoted for at least three years. Calculate how much money that will cost. How about this, for the sake of our neighbors, you should compensate me tenfold, give me fifty yuan."

Actually, Wang Feng could have asked for more money this time, or even reported Yan Jiecheng to the police for arrest. But the Yan family had already been emptied out by him. This time, the money would probably have to come from Liu Yuhua's pocket. If it was too much, Liu Yuhua would definitely divorce him. He didn't want Liu Yuhua to divorce Yan Jiecheng right now; he wanted to see the Yan family's downfall.

"Ten times, fifty yuan! Wang Feng, how could you...?"

Just as the three women were about to bargain, Yan Fugui covered their mouths.

"No problem, I agree. I'll give you the money by tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay," Wang Feng nodded in agreement.

"Wang Feng, there's one more thing. Can you and Jingru not tell anyone about this? You know, Yuhua has only been married a few days, and she's very sensitive. If this gets out, she'll divorce Jiecheng..."

Wang Feng raised his hand to interrupt Yan Fugui, and sneered, "Old Yan, so many people in the yard saw it. Even if I don't say anything, do you think this can be kept secret?"

Yan Fugui nodded: "I've already thought it through. We're planning to hold a wedding banquet for Jiecheng this Sunday, right? This time, I'll make the banquet more lavish and won't accept any monetary gifts from everyone. Consider it Jiecheng's way of apologizing to everyone."

"Okay, Jingru and I don't like to talk too much. As long as others don't say anything, we don't care. But if someone else finds out about this later, don't blame Jingru and me."

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes. Such an exciting story, and she can't even talk about it? Isn't this trying to suffocate her?

Yan Fugui and the three aunties also looked at Qin Jingru. They all believed that Wang Feng was not a talkative person, but Qin Jingru was the kind of person who could chat with many aunties in the courtyard.

"Cough cough."

Wang Fengqian chuckled, "Old Yan, don't worry, Jingru just likes to chat with others; she won't go around spreading this kind of thing."

Wang Feng had no choice. If Liu Yuhua divorced Yan Jiecheng, all his previous plans would have been for nothing.

Qin Jingru nodded in agreement: "Teacher Yan, Auntie, don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone about this."

"Cheng, Wang Feng, Jingru, our Yan family thanks you. Don't worry, I will definitely discipline Jie Cheng properly when I get back. I will notify everyone to hold a college-wide meeting later to discuss this matter."

"become."

After Yan Fugui and the three women left, Wang Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

When he caught Yan Jiecheng stealing chickens before, he didn't consider Liu Yuhua's position. Now, Liu Yuhua is planning to divorce Yan Jiecheng. I wonder if the Yan family can keep Liu Yuhua this time.

It was already 6:30, and Wang Feng and Qin Jingru weren't planning to go to sleep. They had just finished washing up when they heard Yan Jiefang shouting.

"A hospital-wide meeting is starting! A hospital-wide meeting is starting! Everyone, come out and join the hospital-wide meeting!"
