Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Courtyard 95.

After finishing get off work at the movie theater, Xu Fugui rushed to No. 95 Courtyard without even having lunch.

Upon arriving at the backyard, he saw Li Sumei feeding the chickens at the door. He quickly said, "Sumei, I have something to say to Damao. Please wait outside for a while."

After saying that, he went into the house and closed the door.

Upon seeing this, Li Sumei frowned.

They're being so mysterious and in such a hurry. I wonder what they're up to.

As soon as Xu Fugui entered the room, Xu Damao, who was lying on the bed, saw him and asked in confusion, "Dad, what brings you here? Don't you have to go to work today?"

Xu Fugui's face was gloomy, and he hurriedly said, "Da Mao, something's happened. I went to find Ninth Master last night, but he's already run away, and the courtyard has been sealed off."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's face darkened.

"Dad, what happened?"

Xu Fugui said in a deep voice: "Yesterday the police asked you if you knew Hu Sanwa. Now it can be confirmed that this Hu Sanwa is the one who did it. After he was arrested, he confessed to everything. It is estimated that Ninth Master knew that Hu Sanwa had been arrested and ran away in advance."

"Dad, are you sure Ninth Master just ran away and wasn't caught?" Xu Damao asked.

Xu Fugui nodded: "I went to inquire near Ninth Master's courtyard this morning, and everyone said they didn't see the police arresting anyone, so they must have run away beforehand."

"Dad, does that mean our money has gone down the drain again? Ninth Master has run away, will he still target Sha Zhu?" Xu Damao asked unwillingly.

Xu Fugui sighed: "That's very likely. But Ninth Master has a good reputation in the underworld. Now it depends on whether Ninth Master keeps his word. If Ninth Master doesn't make a move on Sha Zhu after he's discharged from the hospital, we'll have to spend more money to hire someone else to do it."

Xu Damao's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Dad, if all else fails, we'll spend more money. This time, we must kill Sha Zhu."

"Cheng, Da Mao, don't worry. Even if it costs a few hundred more this time, Dad will definitely avenge you."

"Da Mao, have you eaten yet? Is there any leftover food at home? I haven't eaten yet, so I rushed over. I have to go back to work at the movie theater later, and it's too late to go back and eat now."

Xu Damao shook his head: "Go ask Su Mei."

"become."

Xu Fugui opened the door and spoke to Li Sumei. Li Sumei then took two cold steamed buns from the kitchen.

Xu Fugui grabbed the steamed bun and hurried away, eating as he walked towards the movie theater.

......

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Feng rode his bicycle slowly back to courtyard number 95. He had just returned to his house when He Yushui came looking for him.

"Rain, is there something you need?" Wang Feng asked.

He Yushui gave a bitter smile: "Brother Wang Feng, I want to ask you for some money. He Yuzhu spent all his money on surgery this time, and I bought a lot of things before the New Year. I don't have any money left now."

Wang Feng didn't want to ask any more questions, and nodded: "Rainwater, how much do you need this time?"

"Two hundred, I guess."

"Okay, Yushui, wait for me a moment, I'll get you the money right away."

With that, Wang Feng returned to his room and took out two hundred yuan from his spatial storage.

His family has no money at all, and Qin Jingru's money is all hidden in courtyard number 28. The reason he went back to his room was just for show.

Handing two hundred yuan to He Yushui, Wang Feng smiled and said, "Yushui, count it and see if two hundred yuan is right. You have a total of 3300 yuan here with me. Including this time, you've taken 1200 yuan from me, leaving you with 2100 yuan. Is that correct?"

He Yushui didn't count the money; she simply put it in her pocket, smiled, and nodded, "That's right, Brother Wang Feng, I feel at ease leaving the money with you."

"Hehe, that's good then. By the way, Yushui, is Shazhu's surgery finished? When can he be discharged?" Wang Feng asked with a smile.

He Yushui smiled bitterly: "I had the surgery yesterday. The doctor said I'll need to stay in the hospital for at least a week. He also said that my health will get worse and worse, and I guess I won't even be able to go out and cook for others anymore."

"It's alright, Yushui. You've already severed your sibling relationship with Shazhu. The fact that you took leave to come back and take care of him is already more than enough. You're a student yourself and don't have any income. You can't expect to support him in the future. If anyone should support him, it should be your dad," Wang Feng comforted her.

He Yushui nodded: "Brother Wang Feng, you're right. By the way, Brother Wang Feng, He Yuzhu said he wants to sell me the other main room, and I also want to buy it. How much do you think is appropriate?"

Wang Feng thought for a moment. Sha Zhu's family originally had three main rooms and one side room. He Yushui had always lived in the side room. When Sha Zhu was fired, He Yushui took out a thousand yuan to save Sha Zhu from jail. However, Sha Zhu also wrote an IOU to He Yushui, mortgaging one of the main rooms to her.

"Rainwater, this house, Sha Zhu probably doesn't have a property deed, right?"

He Yushui nodded: "The property deed has always been with my father, but these three main rooms were left by my father to He Yuzhu. He gave me one room as collateral before, so there are still two left."

After careful consideration, Wang Feng said, "Yushui, a house like Shazhu's without a deed, and which has always been in your father's name, can't be sold by him except through you. Here's what you do: give Shazhu two hundred yuan and have him write you an IOU, just like last time, using one of the rooms as collateral."

"what?"

He Yushui exclaimed in shock, "Brother Wang Feng, this is the main house! Isn't two hundred yuan a bit too little?"

Wang Feng smiled and waved his hand: "That's quite a lot. Yu Shui, think about it. This house is still under your dad's name. And last time you helped him pay a thousand yuan, and Sha Zhu gave you a room in return. You lost a lot last time. It's reasonable to make up for the loss this time. His main room is only worth about six hundred yuan now. I'm just suggesting it. Think about it yourself."

He Yushui hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Wang Feng, I'd better give He Yuzhu 250 yuan, so that he won't say I cheated him when he sees my dad later."

"Hehe, okay, you wait here, I'll go get the money for you right away."

250 is a good number. Sha Zhu, that idiot, is just 250.

When Wang Feng returned from his room, he had a stack of large black 10s in his hand.

"Rain, here's 250 yuan. Make sure Sha Zhu writes an IOU, understand? If he thinks this isn't enough, then don't buy it. You already have a main room and a side room, which is enough for you."

He Yushui took the money without counting it, and nodded emphatically: "I understand, Brother Wang Feng, thank you."

After He Yushui left, Wang Feng sighed.

Although He Yushui has severed her sibling relationship with Shazhu, she might still be implicated by Shazhu in the future.
