Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

Qin Jingru placed the shredded pork noodles on the table and said with a smile, "Brother Wang Feng, Banxia, ​​come and eat your noodles."

"Thank you, Sister Jingru."

Lu Banxia smiled sweetly, and without any hesitation, took the noodles and began to eat them in large mouthfuls.

Qin Jingru's cooking is so delicious that she feels the happiest thing every day is eating Qin Jingru's cooking.

Seeing that Wang Feng and Lu Banxia were enjoying their meal so much, Qin Jingru was also very happy and started eating as well.

"Brother Wang Feng, Banxia, ​​I ran into Aunt Wu while I was cleaning the area in front of the door. She said that Yan Jiecheng was beaten really badly by Liu Yuhua last night. I heard that his face was swollen from the beating, and she even made him kneel on a washboard when he got home."

"Oh, what a pity, I missed such a wonderful show last night."

Lu Banxia was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Sister Jingru, is Liu Yuhua really that fierce? She even dared to hit her husband?"

"Hey, what's this? Banxia, ​​let me tell you, all sorts of messy things happen in our courtyard. I used to see group fights all the time, but not so often now. This Liu Yuhua is something else. On her first day after she married into the family, she beat up Jia Zhangshi, then beat up Yi Zhonghai, and it ended up as a group fight."

Lu Banxia slurped up a mouthful of noodles and said in astonishment, "Amazing."

She dared to hit people right after marrying into the family, and even dared to hit an old man in the courtyard. That was really something else. She had never seen such a formidable woman before.

Qin Jingru proudly raised her snow-white neck and waved her hand arrogantly: "Banxia, ​​what's this? Let me tell you, right here in our courtyard, I've even beaten up Jia Zhangshi. Don't let her fatness fool you, I beat her so badly she couldn't even fight back. To tell you the truth, let alone Jia Zhangshi, I could even beat up Sha Zhu with one hand."

"what?"

Lu Banxia's eyes widened as she scanned Qin Jingru's body. She couldn't believe that Qin Jingru, with her frail body, could single-handedly defeat such a burly man as Sha Zhu.

"Cough cough."

Wang Feng coughed lightly and shook his head at Qin Jingru without making a sound.

Qin Jingru quickly covered her mouth, realizing she had almost let it slip. It was her fault for developing a habit of boasting and showing off.

Lu Banxia was completely unaware of their actions and looked utterly incredulous.

"Sister Jingru, really? You can really beat Shazhu with one hand? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Qin Jingru laughed awkwardly and waved her hand, saying, "Hehe, I was exaggerating a bit. I probably couldn't beat Sha Zhu with one hand, but Sha Zhu probably can't beat me."

Lu Banxia was still somewhat skeptical and asked, "Sister Jingru, you're so skinny, and Sha Zhu is so burly, can you really beat him?"

Qin Jingru nodded awkwardly: "Banxia, ​​don't underestimate me. I've been strong since I was a child. Usually, two or three people can't beat me in farm work. I even trained with Grandpa Liu in the village. I heard that Grandpa Liu was a king of soldiers in the army. He only returned to Qin Family Village after he was injured."

Now that Qin Jingru has told one lie, she has to use countless lies to cover it up. However, her village's sixth grandfather was indeed a top soldier in the army, but she just never trained with him.

Hearing Qin Jingru's detailed and convincing explanation, Lu Banxia believed her and immediately gave Qin Jingru a thumbs up, her face showing an expression of admiration.

After all, Sha Zhu is such a burly man that two or three people probably couldn't beat him. The fact that Qin Jingru could beat Sha Zhu means that she can at least beat two or three ordinary men, which is already very impressive for her.

"Sister Jingru, you're amazing!"

Qin Jingru smiled and waved her hand: "It's nothing special. Nobody in the compound dares to bully us. Even if we could fight, it wouldn't make a difference. If anyone bullies you in the compound or the factory in the future, just tell me, and I'll fight them for you."

"Yes, thank you, Sister Jingru." Lu Banxia smiled and nodded in agreement.

Wang Feng finished the noodles in a few bites, even drinking every last drop of soup, before smiling and saying, "Jingru, Banxia is one of us, why are you bragging to her? I think your old habit of bragging has resurfaced. Tonight, behind closed doors, I'll let you brag to your heart's content."

"Brother Wang Feng, you're so mean, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Qin Jingru punched Wang Feng's chest with her little fists, and her face turned red instantly.

Seeing Qin Jingru's face as red as an apple, Lu Banxia asked in confusion, "Sister Jingru, Brother Feng told you to brag to your heart's content, why are you blushing?"

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes: "It's nothing. You'll understand when you help Brother Wang Feng with that."

As she spoke, Qin Jingru finished her noodles in a few bites, then took the bowl and went to wash the dishes.

Lu Banxia felt somewhat confused. It was just bragging, right? Qin Jingru and Wang Feng were an old married couple, yet they were suddenly blushing?

After having breakfast and a pot of tea, Lu Banxia realized it was almost time for work, so she rode her bicycle to the steel rolling mill.

Wang Feng didn't stay in the courtyard either. Not long after Lu Banxia went to work, he came to courtyard number 28.

Lou Bancheng and his wife were recently arrested, and Lou Xiao'e is in a very low mood. He still needs to spend more time with Lou Xiao'e, after all, they are both his women, and he can't favor one over the other.

"Brother Feng, you're here."

"Um."

Lou Xiao'e poured Wang Feng a cup of tea and managed a weak smile.

"Son, did Uncle Lou send any news yesterday?" Wang Feng asked.

Lou Xiao'e nodded: "Yes, there is, but I don't know if it's good news or bad news. Uncle Lou came by yesterday and said that my parents have been convicted of speculation and profiteering and disrupting financial order, and the amount involved is huge. I estimate that in a few days, they will be sent down to a farm."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng patted Lou Xiao'e on the shoulder and comforted her, "Son, this is good news for us. Since Mom and Dad are about to be sent to a farm, it doesn't matter how severe their sentence is. I will be able to rescue them soon, so don't worry."

"Um."

Lou Xiao'e nodded gently, but a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

She's now afraid that Wang Feng will not only fail to save her parents, but will also get himself into trouble.

Seeing Wang Feng's confident demeanor, she didn't want to discourage him.

"By the way, son, has Uncle Lou heard anything from Chairman Chen yet?" Wang Feng asked.

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "Uncle Lou didn't mention Chairman Chen's matter, so I guess we haven't found him yet."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng took a sip of tea, his eyes filled with icy killing intent. Even if this Chairman Chen fled to the ends of the earth, he would definitely kill his entire family.
