Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Back at the Intermediate People's Court, Wang Feng saw that Qin Jingru's door was open, so he knew she had returned. He parked his bicycle and went inside.

"Brother Wang Feng, you're back."

Qin Jingru put down the rag in her hand, her smile sweet.

Wang Feng smiled and nodded: "You're back, Jingru. Why are you leaving get off work so early today?"

"Hehe, there's no hospitality at the factory right now, so I can go back as soon as I want. Nobody cares. Oh, by the way, Brother Wang Feng, Director Li gave me your driver's license this afternoon. He asked me to give it to you. I put it in the cabinet." Qin Jingru replied with a smile.

"Um."

Wang Feng nodded, then asked, "Jingru, has Factory Director Li mentioned the house to you?"

Qin Jingru waved her hand dismissively: "I already said, we can't sell those two rooms in the backyard. We don't need them now, and we still have to pay rent every month. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have allocated any houses. It's better to take them back now."

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, let me tell you something. A beautiful girl has moved into the backyard. She's really beautiful. I saw her just now. I heard from Factory Director Li that she's the niece of some major general. Factory Director Li even asked me to help take care of this girl."

"Jingru, this girl has quite a powerful background. Try to chat with her more often when you have time, and help her as much as you can. Maybe you two can become good friends in the future," Wang Feng advised.

Qin Jingru nodded her head: "Brother Wang Feng, I know. This girl is moving now. I saw her from afar when I came back just now, but she didn't see me. I saw her moving things and I wanted to help her, but I saw three soldiers helping her, so I didn't go."

"Jingru, make more steamed buns with regular white flour tonight. There's a pheasant in the kitchen; ask Aunt Wu to kill it for you. This girl is moving in today, and it's past four o'clock now, so she probably won't be cooking. After you've finished cooking, take the food to her. I'll go to the backyard to say hello to her."

"OK."

Wang Feng returned to his room, took out his driver's license from the cabinet and put it into his spatial storage, then went outside and headed towards the backyard.

Arriving at the pond in the middle courtyard, he saw Li Sumei killing a chicken again. He walked up to her and asked, "Sumei, how's Brother Damao? Is his appetite better now?"

Li Sumei turned around and saw that it was Wang Feng. She managed a weak smile.

"Much better."

"That's fine then. You go ahead with your work. I heard a new resident moved into the backyard. I'll go check it out."

"become."

On his way to the backyard, Wang Feng shook his head speechlessly. Li Sumei was clearly not telling the truth. Last time, the driver, Brother Zhao, told him that Xu Damao had been stabbed in the kidney and needed surgery. Needless to say, it must have been a kidney removal surgery. If the kidney is cut off, how can it heal?

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu are both ruthless. Are they both aiming to kill people now? Last time Sha Zhu was attacked and became a eunuch. Now Xu Damao has lost a kidney. Ruthless, too ruthless.

When we arrived at the backyard, it was already crowded with people, including Jia Zhangshi, Lao Hu, Erda Ma, Sanda Ma, and even Aunt Wu. Basically, everyone who wasn't at work had gathered in the backyard.

Jia Zhangshi's face was very ugly. She had been eyeing the house for the deaf old lady for a long time, but she never expected that the factory would allocate the house to this little girl.

If it weren't for the fact that this little brat was not someone to be trifled with, and that there were several soldiers helping her move, making it clear that she wasn't an ordinary person, she would have definitely taught this brat a lesson.

Wang Feng walked up to Aunt Wu and said with a smile, "Aunt Wu, Jingru is looking for you."

"Okay, I'll go find Jingru right now."

Aunt Wu agreed and stopped watching the commotion, heading towards the central courtyard.

The three soldiers were still moving furniture, such as tables, chairs, benches, beds, and other daily necessities, one cart after another.

There was nothing they could do. After the deaf old woman went missing, all her furniture and other belongings were bought up cheaply by people in the neighborhood. Now, apart from a few bricks, there's basically nothing left in the house.

"Make way, make way."

Wang Feng looked behind him and saw three more soldiers approaching, each pulling a cart of coal.

The people in the courtyard quickly made way for him, and Wang Feng also stepped aside.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, walking towards him from the central courtyard. He thought he was seeing things and quickly rubbed his eyes.

He soon realized that he wasn't seeing things; it was real. After all, his eyesight was many times better than that of an ordinary person, so there was no way he could be seeing things incorrectly.

Wang Feng exclaimed in shock, "Lu Banxia, ​​what are you doing here?"

The current Lu Banxia is no longer the Lu Banxia of yesterday. Now, Lu Banxia has changed into new clothes, new pants, and even a pair of women's leather shoes. Her hair is simply tied into two ponytails. She looks very youthful and beautiful, just like a young lady from a wealthy family.

She's completely different from the village girl who fainted from hunger in the grass yesterday.

Yesterday, Lu Banxia wore patched clothes and her hair was rather messy. By Wang Feng's standards, she would have scored 90 points. Now, if Lu Banxia changed into a new outfit and combed her hair, she would score over 92 points.

Lu Banxia was carrying a bamboo basket containing potatoes, cabbage, a pound of pork, and several pounds of cured meat. Aunt Li had asked her to bring these over.

Seeing Wang Feng's surprised expression, she smiled slightly and said playfully, "Wang Feng, what a coincidence! I just moved here today, and I didn't expect to run into you. Do you live in this courtyard too?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng stared at Lu Banxia in disbelief, asking in shock, "You...you...you are...?"

Before Wang Feng could finish speaking, Lu Banxia nodded at him.

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Wang Feng quickly shut his mouth, not uttering the last sentence.

He never imagined that Lu Banxia was actually the major general's niece? So, those three jeeps that went to Lujia Village yesterday were there to find Lu Banxia?

But how could Lu Banxia, ​​who had a major general as her uncle, have ended up in Lujia Village and even starved to death? This was something Wang Feng couldn't understand.

When the people in the courtyard saw that Wang Feng knew this girl, they didn't say much. After all, Beijing is only so big, and it's normal to run into acquaintances.

Jia Zhangshi looked at Wang Feng and Lu Banxia with eyes full of resentment and venom. Why should this little brat get such a good house? Her old Jia and Dongxu both died in the steel rolling mill. Why shouldn't they get a house?

Their family only has one room. If Banggeng grows up, how will he get married without a house?

This little brat must have pulled some strings to get the deaf old lady's house allocated to her by the factory.

She wanted to curse, but she didn't dare to. That little beast Wang Feng would beat the old people all the time, and he was especially ruthless.

This little brat clearly has a powerful background, so she didn't dare to provoke her and could only curse her in her heart.
