Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

When Li Sumei saw Liu Guangfu asking her for money again, her face immediately darkened.

"Guangfu, these are all our neighbors' property, why are you asking me for money?"

Liu Guangfu chuckled: "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. This person is also from our compound. If I tell you, won't he cause me trouble? I can't just offend someone for no reason, can I?"

Upon hearing that the person was from their compound, Li Sumei's first thought was Yan Jiecheng, after all, Yan Jiecheng had a history of stealing chickens.

"Guangfu, is this person Yan Jiecheng?" Li Sumei asked in a deep voice.

Liu Guangfu waved his hands repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. I won't tell you unless you give me the money."

Seeing that Liu Guangfu was determined to keep quiet until she received money, Li Sumei thought for a moment, then reluctantly took out two yuan from her pocket and handed it over.

"Guangfu, we've got an agreement, right? Here's the money, but you have to be my witness later."

Liu Guangfu took the money, stuffed it into his pocket, and grinned, saying, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll definitely be your witness later. But you can't tell my parents about the money you gave me, not even my brother."

Li Sumei nodded: "Tell me, who stole my chickens?"

"It's Jia Zhangshi."

Liu Guangfu didn't hesitate to mention Jia Zhangshi. He wasn't afraid of Jia Zhangshi. His father was the second eldest uncle in the courtyard. Did Jia Zhangshi dare to hit him?

With two dollars, he could buy a lot of things; those two dollars were a lot of money for him.

"So it was this old hag?" Li Sumei gritted her teeth.

These three old hens were given to Da Mao by her mother-in-law to help him recover. Now they've been stolen by Jia Zhangshi, and she's furious. She doesn't know how to explain it to her mother-in-law.

"Guangfu, come with me to the Jia family."

Li Sumei was furious and grabbed Liu Guangfu's sleeve, ready to go to the Jia family.

But Liu Guangfu shook off Li Sumei's hand and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, wait here, I'll go call my dad."

With that, Liu Guangfu ran back to the Liu family home.

Liu Guangfu wasn't stupid. If it were just the two of them going to the Jia family now, what if Jia Zhangshi beat him? With his father there, he wouldn't be afraid of Jia Zhangshi.

When Li Sumei saw that Liu Guangfu had actually gone to find Liu Haizhong, she stood there and waited.

She had considered reporting it to the police, but several previous hospital-wide meetings had stated that hospital-wide issues should be resolved within the hospital itself. If she reported it to the police and the hospital missed the award for being an advanced hospital, it would be tantamount to offending everyone in the hospital. Unless Jia Zhangshi was unwilling to pay compensation, she really didn't want to report it to the police. After all, she had only recently married into the hospital, and she didn't want to offend the entire hospital.

Soon, Liu Haizhong and his second aunt arrived, followed by the brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian.

Liu Haizhong walked up to Li Sumei and said in a deep voice, "Sumei, did my Guangfu tell you that Jia Zhangshi stole your chickens?"

Li Sumei's face was gloomy as she coldly said, "Second Uncle, you have to be my judge! These three old hens were brought over by my mother-in-law to nourish Da Mao. Now they've been stolen by Jia Zhangshi. Your Guangfu saw it with his own eyes. If you can't stand up for me, I'll call the police."

"Don't report it to the police. This is a matter for the courtyard to handle. Su Mei, don't worry, your second uncle will definitely stand up for you."

Liu Haizhong waved his hand and instructed Liu Guangfu, "Guangfu, go and inform everyone in the institute to hold a general meeting."

Liu Guangfu nodded and started shouting from the backyard: "A general meeting is being held! A general meeting is being held! Come out here quickly for a general meeting!"

Liu Guangfu shouted a few times in the backyard and then ran to the middle courtyard.

Lu Banxia was chopping vegetables inside when she heard that there was going to be some kind of big meeting. She put down the knife, opened the door, and came out.

Upon exiting the building and seeing Li Sumei and her aunt, Li Sumei's expression was clearly not good. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Sumei, what kind of meeting were you talking about? Are any leaders coming to our compound?"

Li Sumei's face was gloomy, and she was about to speak when her second aunt spoke first:

"It's not that a leader has come; it's that Jia Zhangshi stole three old hens from Su Mei's family."

Lu Banxia looked at Li Sumei in shock and said, "Sumei, is this true? I saw your chickens this afternoon. That Jia Zhangshi is too despicable! How could she do something like this? Why didn't you call the police?"

Jia Zhangshi? That's Qin Huairu's mother-in-law. Qin Jingru told her this yesterday, and even gave this Jia Zhangshi a nickname, something like "Jia Zhangshi, the Soul-Summoning Ambassador".

"You can't report it to the police."

Liu Haizhong and the second aunt spoke at the same time. The second aunt explained, "Banxia, ​​you've just come to our compound, so you don't know the situation here. In our compound, matters are always handled by the compound itself. If we report such a small matter to the police, we won't be able to get the advanced compound award this year."

Lu Banxia was very puzzled, but since even Li Sumei hadn't mentioned reporting it to the police, she didn't say anything more. After all, she had only moved into the compound two days ago, and there were probably still many things she didn't know.

"Sumei, let's go to the Intermediate People's Court together. Don't worry, my husband Lao Liu will definitely get justice for you."

"become."

Soon, the group headed to the Intermediate People's Court.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

Qin Jingru had just finished chopping the vegetables and was about to start cooking when she heard Liu Guangfu's shout.

"A college-wide meeting is about to begin. Come out and start the college-wide meeting."

Upon hearing that another hospital-wide meeting was about to be held, Qin Jingru threw down her spatula and ran out of the kitchen.

"Brother Wang Feng, the whole college is having a meeting, let's go quickly."

As she spoke, Qin Jingru carried a stool, grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds from the cabinet and put them in her pocket, then pulled Wang Feng and ran outside.

Wang Feng shook his head speechlessly: "Jingru, what's the rush? We just notified everyone to have a college-wide meeting. It'll take at least several minutes for everyone to get here."

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, I just wanted to get a good spot in the front, what if I can't see clearly from the back?" Qin Jingru said with a smile.

"Okay."

Wang Feng didn't want to argue with Qin Jingru. She just liked watching the excitement, which was understandable. Not to mention Qin Jingru, in this era of scarce entertainment, he also liked watching the excitement, just not as enthusiastically as Qin Jingru.

Upon arriving at the Intermediate People's Court, Qin Jingru saw that Li Sumei and Lu Banxia had both arrived and quickly waved to them.

"Sumei, Banxia, ​​come sit next to me."

Li Sumei arrived in a hurry and didn't even bring a chair, but since she was the main character today, there was no need for her to sit down.

"Come on, Banxia, ​​sit next to me. Let's squeeze in together."

Lu Banxia wasn't embarrassed and sat down next to Qin Jingru. Wang Feng was next to Qin Jingru. The three of them sat on one stool, which was a little crowded, but they could still manage to sit down.

"Sumei, why didn't you bring a stool?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

Li Sumei said with a gloomy face, "Jia Zhangshi stole three of my old hens."

"What?"
