Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The old village chief leaned close to Wang Feng's ear, a lewd smile on his face, and whispered:

"Wang Feng, the girl Uncle Lu introduced to you is as beautiful as a fairy. Her name is Lu Banxia. Do you want to take a look? Don't worry, you don't need to get a marriage certificate with her. Just give her some food so she doesn't starve. If my three rascals weren't already married, your Uncle Lu wouldn't have given you such a good deal."

Just as Wang Feng was about to refuse, the old village chief said again, "Wang Feng, are you worried about problems? Don't worry, we in Lujia Village are basically all from the same ancestor. Now I'm the one in charge in Lujia Village, and no one dares to go out and talk nonsense."

"This girl came to our village a while ago as a refugee. She was taken in by a kind widow, Auntie San. Unfortunately, a few months ago, Auntie San fell seriously ill, spent all her savings, and passed away."

"Third Aunt is all alone. She came to our village with her husband decades ago. She doesn't have any relatives or anything. She left the house to Lu Banxia. As long as you support her, you can make her your wife and have children for your Wang family. The people in our village definitely won't gossip about it."

"Uncle Lu, stop, stop. I'm already married, let's just forget about it."

Wang Feng didn't want to cause trouble right now. As for the old village chief saying that she looked like a fairy, he didn't believe it. She couldn't possibly be as pretty as Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e, could she?

The old village chief sighed inwardly when he saw Wang Feng. This girl was really beautiful. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Feng was a section chief and could support Lu Banxia, ​​this poor young lady in distress, he would never have introduced her to Wang Feng.

This girl usually keeps her face dirty. Apart from her deceased third aunt, he is the only one in the whole village who has seen Lu Banxia's true face. She really looks like a fairy.

Wang Feng was unwilling, and he didn't know what to do. Lu Banxia didn't know how to do farm work, and the work points she earned each day were less than those of a child. If it weren't for his frequent help over the past few months, Lu Banxia would have starved to death long ago.

But his family has more than ten people to feed, and he can't keep helping them like this forever. In this kind of year, even if he wanted to help, he couldn't. If all else fails, he can only advise her to find someone to marry, which is better than starving to death.

When Wang Feng saw the old village chief sighing, he didn't say much. There were too many pitiful people in this era, and he couldn't care less about them.

"Uncle Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

The old village chief sighed, "Let's go, let's go. You wouldn't even take such a beautiful girl if she were given to you for free, so she'll just end up benefiting someone else."

Wang Feng didn't argue with the old village chief. He tied up the mountain goods, rode his bicycle, and left Lujia Village.

Upon arriving outside Lujia Village, Wang Feng found no one around, so he stored all the mountain goods in his spatial storage and headed towards Wangjia Village, which was next to Lujia Village.

......

One o'clock in the afternoon.

After collecting mountain goods from five villages, Wang Feng took out food from his spatial storage, ate lunch, and then prepared to go deep into the mountains.

He had a lot of corpses in his space during this period, and it wasn't good to keep them there all the time. Although they wouldn't decompose or smell in the space warehouse, it was still a bit disgusting.

The mountain produce Wang Feng collected in these five villages was less than half of what he received in Lujia Village. Most of it consisted of eggs, dried pheasants and rabbits, and he only spent about a hundred yuan in total.

These six villages are all connected and are collectively called Liuhe Village. Wang Feng put his bicycle and all the mountain goods into his spatial storage, found a mountain road, and headed up the mountain.

Having entered the mountains less than three miles in, Wang Feng was preparing to take off his Zhongshan suit and change into coarse linen clothes, otherwise his clothes would definitely be torn by tree branches when he ran wildly.

Just as he took the clothes out of his spatial storage, he caught a glimpse of someone lying in the grass. Judging from their figure, it should be a woman.

Wang Feng did not rush forward. He stepped within sixty meters and used his spiritual sense to probe the woman.

It turned out to be a woman, a dirty woman, and she still had a heartbeat; she must have fainted from hunger.

Wang Feng suddenly remembered that a few months ago, he had also saved a woman who had fainted from hunger on this mountain. Could it be such a coincidence?

His spiritual sense passed through the woman's clothes, and when Wang Feng saw her snow-white, jade-like skin, he immediately knew that this woman was the one he had saved last time.

He was very impressed with this woman at the time. Her face was dirty, and the key point is that in the countryside, it is very rare, if not impossible, for a woman to have such good skin.

Even Qin Jingru's skin wasn't as good as this woman's before she married him. Qin Jingru's skin only got better and better after she drank the Water of Life.

Wang Feng snapped out of his daze, took out a pot of cooled boiled water, walked to the woman, helped her up, pried open her mouth, and slowly poured a small sip of water down her throat.

The woman collapsed in the bushes; if she hadn't met him, she would most likely be dead.

Beside the woman was a basket with some wild vegetables inside; it was clear she had gone up the mountain to dig for them.

"Cough cough cough!"

The woman choked and coughed several times before slowly opening her eyes.

When she opened her eyes and saw the person who had saved her before, she was so excited that she wanted to stand up. However, she was extremely weak and had twisted her ankle, making it very difficult for her to stand up.

"Alright, you're starving. You should eat something first."

Wang Feng shook his head speechlessly, took out two ordinary white flour steamed buns from his bag, and handed them over.

The steamed buns had gone completely cold and had been sitting in his spatial storage for months. He hadn't eaten them, and it seemed a waste to throw them away, so he had kept them until now.

"Thank you, my benefactor, you have saved me once again."

Upon seeing the white steamed buns, the woman simply thanked Wang Feng, took the buns, and began to eat them in large mouthfuls.

The two steamed buns were eaten in no time.

After finishing the steamed bun, the woman regained some strength and, with tears in her eyes, said to Wang Feng with deep emotion:

"My benefactor, I remember you. Your name is Wang Feng, and you are a purchasing agent at the steel rolling mill."

Wang Feng had saved her twice, so she was naturally very grateful. These days, white flour buns were so expensive, and she hadn't eaten them in a long time, but Wang Feng still gave them to her.

Wang Feng smiled and nodded: "Your memory is not bad. Didn't I tell you last time that a girl like you shouldn't go up the mountain? If you encounter wild boars or something, you'll lose your life. If you hadn't met me this time, you would probably have lost your life on the mountain."

The woman pursed her lips and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I...I don't want to go up the mountain either, but..."

Wang Feng sighed. Judging from the situation, he knew that this girl was also a pitiful person; if she didn't go up the mountain, she would starve to death.

"Alright, now that you're awake, hurry up and go down the mountain."

After saying that, Wang Feng prepared to go deep into the mountains.

Seeing that Wang Feng was about to leave, the woman said embarrassedly, "Wang Feng, my benefactor! Could you... could you please help me again? I... I twisted my ankle."
