Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Lou Xiao'e was very happy to arrive at No. 28 courtyard and warmly welcomed Wang Feng into the house.

Since Wang Feng came yesterday and told her that her parents had been safely sent to Hong Kong Island and that her parents and brother were all doing well there, she felt much more relaxed, as if a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

Lou Xiao'e poured Wang Feng a cup of tea and asked, "Brother Feng, what are your plans regarding Banxia? When do you intend to have her come here to meet me? Keeping it from her isn't a solution, is it?"

Wang Feng took a sip of tea, sighed, and said, "This matter is really difficult to handle right now. The main problem is Banxia's uncle, who is a major general. Banxia hasn't told her uncle about this yet."

Lou Xiao'e sighed and said, "Brother Feng, Banxia still hasn't dared to tell her uncle about this. She's probably worried he'll be angry. This shows that her uncle must be very averse to this kind of thing. Let's think of a way to see if we can get her uncle to accept your presence?"

"Oh?"

"Son, have you come up with a good idea?" Wang Feng asked.

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "What good way is there? Her uncle is a soldier, and soldiers are usually stubborn and inflexible. I heard from you that Banxia and her uncle are like father and daughter. Banxia must care a lot about her uncle's feelings, which is why she has kept it a secret from him for so long."

"Brother Feng, do you think it would be okay if Banxia got pregnant and then you went to tell Banxia's uncle? If Banxia is carrying your child and she insists, even if her uncle doesn't accept it, he'll have to, right?"

Wang Feng's lips twitched violently. Lou Xiao'e's move was too underhanded! He could already picture Uncle Lu Banxia's furious reaction.

However, despite the talk, there is really no solution to this trick. Even in later generations, most parents would be helpless against it unless they are heartless. After all, the woman is already pregnant and insists on staying with you no matter what. You can't just abandon your own daughter, can you?

The key point is that getting pregnant with his child isn't so easy. Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e have been together for so long, and she still hasn't gotten pregnant.

"Son, isn't that a bit too mean? Will Banxia's uncle be so angry he'll die?"

"Hehe, what are you afraid of? This is Banxia's uncle, not her biological parents. Even if they were her biological parents, they should support their daughter being with the person she likes, right?" Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

"Brother Feng, you'd better work hard to resolve this matter as soon as possible, so that Banxia can move in with me sooner and we can keep each other company."

"Hehe, alright then. Banxia is just like you, born into a capitalist family. I'm sure you two will get along very well," Wang Feng said with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

......

Steel rolling mill.

Fitter's Workshop 1.

Qin Huairu absentmindedly polished the workpiece in her hands, her mind preoccupied with how to get closer to Wang Feng.

She had originally wanted to ask Wang Feng to come out and talk yesterday, but Qin Jingru and Lu Banxia were at home the whole time, so she didn't have a chance to be alone with Wang Feng at all.

According to Jia Zhangshi's account, Wang Feng usually doesn't eat lunch at home, which means that even if she returned to the courtyard during lunchtime, she wouldn't see Wang Feng.

If she can't be alone with Wang Feng, how can she attract him?

Qin Jingru finished get off work at four o'clock in the afternoon and went back to the hospital. She didn't get off work until five o'clock, so no matter what, she couldn't find an opportunity to spend time alone with Wang Feng.

Thinking of this, her brows furrowed deeply.

It seems I'll have to take half a day off.

Without hesitation, she put down the workpiece, took off her gloves, and headed towards the director's office.

She had to win over Wang Feng as soon as possible; once she did, her family's life would be much better.

She has something on Guo Da Piezi, and as long as she doesn't go too far, Guo Da Piezi won't dare to turn against her.

After several rounds of negotiations, Guo Da Piezi finally compromised, agreeing to give her ten yuan a month and provide her with some conveniences within the scope of his authority.

Upon arriving at the director's office, Qin Huairu knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Come in."

Qin Huairu walked into the office, closed the door, looked at Guo Dapizi with a smile, and said, "Director Guo, I need to talk to you about something."

"Qin Huairu, what's the matter? It's not even the end of the month yet, so don't even think about asking me for money. Qin Huairu, let me tell you, don't go too far, or I'll fight you to the death." Guo Da Piezi said with a gloomy face.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Hehe, Director Guo, don't be in such a hurry. I didn't come to ask you for money; I just wanted to ask you for two hours off."

"Are you asking for two hours off?" Guo Da Piezi asked, frowning.

Qin Huairu nodded: "I have something to do after 3 p.m., so I want to go home early."

"No problem, I've approved the leave."

Guo Da Piezi agreed without hesitation, as long as she didn't ask him for money. He had been ripped off by Qin Huairu lately, who had borrowed 160 yuan from him using his confession. The worst part was that he didn't dare refuse to lend her the money.

He realized that Qin Huairu, being a vampire, would never repay what she borrowed.

Left with no other choice, he pretended to be tough and ready to fight Qin Huairu to the death. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement that he would give Qin Huairu ten yuan every month.

"Hehe, thank you very much, Director Guo."

Qin Huairu smiled slightly and walked out of the director's office.

Watching Qin Huairu's retreating figure, Guo Da Piezi's face turned terribly gloomy.

He usually had to hand over his salary to his wife, the "tiger mom," but Qin Huairu lent him 160 yuan right away—his savings that he had worked for over a year to accumulate.

He would have to give Qin Huairu ten yuan every month from now on, which would be equivalent to giving all his future savings to Qin Huairu. Just thinking about it made his heart ache.

He's a decent person, and he's quite responsible at work. He just has a natural weakness for beautiful women, and he never expected to fall for Qin Huairu.

No, no, he absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die, otherwise Qin Huairu will definitely use this as leverage to control him for the rest of his life.

The thought of being controlled by a woman for the rest of his life filled Guo Da Piezi with rage, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"Qin Huairu, since you dared to set a trap for me and force me like this, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Guo Da Piezi muttered to himself, already having a plan to deal with Qin Huairu in his mind.

Isn't Qin Huairu's biggest concern her son? Then let's start with her son. He wants to see if he's ruthless enough, or if Qin Huairu is heartless enough.
