Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

In the evening, Qin Jingru made a dish of stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with pork and a dish of stir-fried tomatoes with eggs.

As soon as the dishes were served, Lu Banxia came over to eat.

Lu Banxia now eats with Wang Feng's family, and everyone in the courtyard knows that. However, when Qin Jingru is not at home, she still doesn't dare to be alone with Wang Feng in a room. After all, gossip can be dangerous, and with so many envious people in the courtyard, who knows when they might get jealous and report them?

Qin Jingru served Wang Feng a large bowl of rice and said with a smile, "Brother Wang Feng, you said you'd kill pheasants and rabbits tomorrow, but we don't have any in our kitchen?"

Wang Feng took a bite of rice and laughed, "It's alright, I'll just bring back a couple of pheasants and rabbits tomorrow. My hunter friends are all skilled hunters, so even if I don't go hunting, the game they catch will be enough for us to eat."

Upon hearing that they were going to kill pheasants and rabbits tomorrow, Lu Banxia quickly asked, "Sister Jingru, are we eating pheasants and rabbits tomorrow?"

Qin Jingru nodded: "Yes, what's wrong? Brother Wang Feng is such a good hunter, our family often eats pheasants and rabbits. If I hadn't been busy preparing meals for guests lately, our family would usually eat them every two or three days."

Hearing this, Lu Banxia said with some regret, "That's a real pity. I made plans with my Uncle Li and Sister Hongyan tomorrow to visit my Uncle Li's former commander, so I can't have lunch at home."

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes: "Banxia, ​​are you implying something? Fine, Wang Feng and I can't finish it all in one meal, so we'll save it for you to eat when you get back tonight, is that alright?"

"Hehe, thank you, Sister Jingru," Lu Banxia said happily.

"etc."

Wang Feng seemed to have heard the words "former commander," and looked at Lu Banxia seriously, asking, "Banxia, ​​I remember your Uncle Li is a major general, right? What rank was his former commander?"

Lu Banxia smiled slightly: "I heard from Sister Hongyan that her grandfather was a retired general."

Before Wang Feng could ask, Qin Jingru interrupted, "Banxia, ​​Brother Wang Feng asked about Uncle Li's old superior, why are you bringing up Sister Hongyan again?"

"Sister Jingru, that's right! Sister Hongyan's grandfather was my Uncle Li's former superior, and he was a general." Lu Banxia explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng and Qin Jingru both widened their eyes, revealing expressions of shock.

Qin Jingru, in particular, never expected that the sexy announcer sister had such a big background. She had never noticed it before.

General! What a high military rank that is! In ancient times, that was the rank of a Grand General, a great figure who commanded a million-strong army. Ordinary people like them would never see such a person in their entire lives.

Since marrying Wang Feng, Qin Jingru has seen a bit of the world. When she was learning to cook at Fengzeyuan, she met some section-level cadres and a couple of department-level cadres. After joining the steel rolling mill, she saw section-level cadres almost every day. Li Huaide was a department-level cadre, and she would occasionally see him as well.

But compared to a general, a department-level cadre is nothing.

Qin Jingru made a decision: she must cultivate a good relationship with Mu Hongyan at the factory. Her grandfather was a general, and although he had retired, the power of a general was immense, reaching even the highest levels of government. Perhaps if Brother Wang Feng needed anything in the future, he could be of great help to them.

Seeing Wang Feng and Jingru staring blankly, Lu Banxia said speechlessly, "Brother Feng, Sister Jingru, what are you two spacing out for?"

"Cough cough."

Wang Feng coughed lightly: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just thinking too much."

"Banxia, ​​are you and Mu Hongyan on good terms?"

Lu Banxia smiled and nodded: "It's great. Sister Hongyan is a very nice person. She took good care of me on my first day of work. Later, I found out that her grandfather was my Uncle Li's former superior, so my relationship with her became even better."

Wang Feng nodded, his expression serious: "Banxia, ​​you must cultivate a good relationship with Mu Hongyan in the future. Her grandfather is a general, and he might be of great help to us in the future."

Seeing Wang Feng's serious expression, Lu Banxia quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, Brother Feng, I know, don't worry."

After Wang Feng's questioning, Lu Banxia revealed that Mu Hongyan's father was the Minister of Metallurgy, who was Li Huaide's direct superior. His rank was even higher than that of Li Huaide's father-in-law, who was only the Deputy Minister of Metallurgy.

Even more outrageous is that Mu Hongyan's uncle is the Vice Minister of Public Security, which left Wang Feng speechless.

One family has a general and two ministers, each in charge of different regions—military, political, and police—each with a high-ranking figure in charge.

Wang Feng knew that there was a person named Mu Hongyan in the steel rolling mill before, after all, she was beautiful and was a broadcaster. But he never expected that Mu Hongyan's backing was as strong as steel.

This made Wang Feng value Mu Hongyan even more.

Qin Jingru was stunned when she heard that Mu Hongyan had such a powerful background.

After finishing their meal, the three of them chatted over tea, and the topic of conversation was always Mu Hongyan.

Lu Banxia is now Wang Feng's woman, and Wang Feng treats her so well, so she wants to be able to help him when he needs it.

He then recounted the whole story of Mu Hongyan in great detail.

Wang Feng knew that Mu Hongyan had powerful backing, but he had no intention of groveling or currying favor with her. He would just let things take their course. Besides, with his abilities, he wouldn't usually need the help of these powerful officials.

After finishing a pot of tea, Lu Banxia went to fetch water for Wang Feng to wash his feet.

After washing their feet, the three of them went to bed.

Today, Qin Jingru's relatives left, and Wang Feng could finally have some fun.

Lu Banxia had never drunk the Water of Life, and her body was too weak. Wang Feng didn't dare to exert any force, for fear of hurting Lu Banxia, ​​which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Qin Jingru drank four catties of the Water of Life, making her physical condition almost four times that of an ordinary person, so she could do whatever she wanted without fear.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

The Intermediate People's Court, the Jia family.

Today is Sunday, a day off, and Qin Huairu got up early to make breakfast.

It was not even eight o'clock when Qin Huairu finished breakfast. She took a bag and walked out of the compound, heading towards Xiehe Hospital.

Today she is going to take the first step of her plan, which is to get an IUD inserted.

Thinking that Wang Feng's future salary and the game he hunted would all belong to her, Qin Huairu smiled.

Wang Feng's monthly salary is 87 yuan. Adding Qin Jingru's salary, that's 166 yuan. She doesn't need more; she just wants to get 5 yuan from Wang Feng every month!
