Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

Today is Sunday, a day off, and Wang Feng and Qin Jingru didn't get up until after eight o'clock.

Last night before bed, I had sex with Qin Jingru. This morning, as soon as I woke up, Qin Jingru dragged Wang Feng out for another morning workout.

In fact, Wang Feng likes to exercise in the morning the most, since he is more irritable in the morning. However, usually when he wakes up, Qin Jingru is already up making breakfast.

After washing up, Qin Jingru made shredded pork noodles. After breakfast, Wang Feng saw that it was almost ten o'clock and said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, let's go to courtyard number 28 for lunch."

"OK."

After locking the door, the two went out. This time, Qin Jingru did not ride a bicycle; Wang Feng rode a bicycle with Qin Jingru on the back.

Upon arriving at courtyard number 28, Qin Jingru found the gate locked and asked in confusion, "Brother Wang Feng, our son isn't home. He's probably gone to buy groceries."

Wang Feng nodded: "Jingru, open the door first, let's go inside and talk."

"Um."

Wang Feng took out the key, opened the door, pushed the bicycle into the yard and parked it, while Qin Jingru went to boil water to make tea.

As soon as the tea was brewed, Lou Xiao'e walked into the courtyard.

"Brother Feng, Sister Jingru, you're here."

When Qin Jingru saw that Lou Xiao'e's hands were empty, she asked in confusion, "Little one, where did you go? I thought you went to buy groceries."

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly and explained, "I went to my parents' house. Brother Feng is collecting old items, so I was discussing it with my dad."

"Hmm? What old item?"

Qin Jingru looked at Lou Xiao'e with a puzzled expression, then turned her gaze to Wang Feng.

"Hehe, Jingru, it's just that her son's dad is planning to sell some old items. I think these old items will definitely be valuable in the future, so I plan to buy them all," Wang Feng explained with a smile.

"oh."

Qin Jingru nodded. She didn't understand these things and didn't want to ask any more questions. She would just listen to Brother Wang Feng in everything.

Wang Feng poured Lou Xiao'e a cup of tea and asked with a smile, "Son, how's the old thing going?"

Lou Xiao'e took a sip of tea and said angrily, "My dad is willing to sell you his old items, but he wants 130 catties of gold. I asked him to give less, since we're all family, and fifty catties would be enough as a token. But he absolutely refused, saying that he had already given the biggest concession. Can you believe it? I almost had a fight with my dad."

Wang Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Son, there's no need to argue with your dad over such a small matter. It's just a few dozen kilograms of gold. It's not like our family can't afford it. Besides, we'll earn much more than this in the future if we buy back these old items."

"Also, son, aren't your parents planning to leave Beijing and go to Hong Kong? We won't be going there for the next few years either. If you have time recently, go home and spend more time with your parents."

"Okay, Brother Feng, I understand," Lou Xiao'e nodded in response.

Upon hearing that it was another large deal involving hundreds of kilograms of gold, Qin Jingru asked with some concern, "Brother Wang Feng, can these old items really make money? Won't we lose money?"

"Don't worry, I never do business at a loss."

Hearing Wang Feng's affirmative answer, Qin Jingru finally felt relieved. They couldn't spend all that gold in ten lifetimes; it would be troublesome if they lost it.

Wang Feng took a sip of tea, looked at Lou Xiao'e, and asked, "Son, has your dad confirmed when he's going to Hong Kong?"

Lou Xiao'e sighed: "It's not confirmed yet. My dad has been really worried lately, so he's thinking of getting rid of the valuables and leaving Beijing as soon as possible."

"Son, what's wrong?"

Wang Feng was somewhat puzzled. It was still early before the wind picked up, and theoretically, the next few years should have been safe, with no major problems.

"It's all because of those higher-ups. They're telling my dad to increase investment in the steel mill and buy some advanced machinery. They call it investment, but to put it bluntly, they just want to squeeze every last penny out of my dad," Lou Xiao'e said bitterly.

"My dad is in a dilemma right now. If he agrees, it's over a million yuan. If he doesn't agree, he's worried that the higher-ups will be unhappy with him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng finally understood that Lou Bancheng didn't want to invest, but was also worried about being punished by his superiors, so he wanted to leave Beijing as soon as possible.

The authorities are trying to use a soft knife to slowly squeeze these capitalists. I don't know what Lou Bancheng was thinking. Even in this situation, he still wants to hold on to Beijing. If it weren't for his two reminders to Lou Bancheng to run away, Lou Bancheng would probably have had to suffer in silence this time.

Qin Jingru's heart pounded as she listened to Wang Feng and Lou Xiao'e's conversation. They were talking about over a hundred catties of gold all the time, and now it was over a million. Luckily, she had broadened her horizons since following Wang Feng, otherwise she would have been shocked to the point of her jaw dropping.

"Son, besides the old things, what else does your dad want to get rid of?" Wang Feng asked.

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "Besides old things, there's not much left. My dad has been selling off his assets over the years, and now all that's left are some houses and shops, but not many. Most of them have been donated over the years, and there are also shares in several factories. Even if my dad gave these to you for free, you can't accept them."

"Too."

Wang Feng really didn't dare to take any of these things. He didn't even dare to take the house or the shop. The house hadn't been expensive in recent decades, and he could buy it anytime he wanted in the future. He didn't want to take the risk of being investigated for such a small amount of money.

"Son, after lunch, we'll go to your parents' house. I need to talk to your dad."

"become."

At noon, Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e were busy in the kitchen. As usual, Lou Xiao'e assisted while Qin Jingru was in charge of cooking.

While cooking, Qin Jingru told Lou Xiao'e about Lu Banxia, ​​which almost made Lou Xiao'e's jaw drop.

"Son, you won't be angry if Brother Wang Feng takes Lu Banxia as his girlfriend, will you?"

Lou Xiao'e didn't answer but asked instead, "Sister Jingru, are you angry?"

Qin Jingru shook her head: "Why would I be angry? Wang Feng is the only son left in our Wang family. I'd be happy to have more people to help our family grow. Anyway, Wang Feng is as strong as an ox and so rich. We can afford to raise as many children as we want. There's no need for us to be jealous."

"I've met Lu Banxia. She seems alright. I heard she's a capitalist's daughter from Tianjin. Son, if Lu Banxia becomes our sister, you'll have company. You're both capitalist's daughters, so you'll have common topics to discuss."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded: "Hehe, Sister Jingru, you're right. I'm not jealous or angry. Brother Feng is so strong, and our periods come at the same time every month. If we get pregnant in the future, we can't let Brother Feng go out to find wild game, can we? I can't stand that."

"Sister Jingru, observe Lu Banxia closely in your courtyard, especially regarding her character. After all, our family has so many secrets. If she leaks them after she marries into the family, we're finished."

"Don't worry, I will."
