Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Wang Feng sighed inwardly. Now that He Daqing had returned to the courtyard, he didn't know whether it was good or bad for He Yushui.

Just as Wang Feng was sighing, He Yushui walked into the house, and Qin Jingru asked with a smile:

"Rain, I heard your dad's back?"

He Yushui nodded: "Yes, Sister-in-law Jingru, my dad is back."

She looked at Wang Feng somewhat embarrassedly and stammered, "Brother Wang Feng, I... I want to get back the money I deposited with you before."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng was slightly taken aback, but he quickly realized the key point: He Daqing was back, and he certainly wouldn't want to keep He Yushui's money with him any longer. It was only natural that he wanted it back.

"Hehe, Rainwater, this money was originally yours. I've said it before, you can take it back whenever you want. Just wait, I'll get the money for you right now."

As he spoke, Wang Feng walked into the room, and soon returned with a large stack of black bills, which he placed in He Yushui's hands.

"Rainwater, you have a total of 2300 yuan left with me. Can you count it and see if it's correct?" Wang Feng asked.

He Yushui put it in her pocket without even counting it, and nodded, saying, "Yes, Brother Wang Feng, thank you."

Wang Feng waved his hand dismissively and laughed, "Yushui, this money should be the one your dad told you to take back, right? I suggest you don't give all the money to your dad. You should keep at least three hundred yuan on you, just in case you need money for something in the future, so you don't always have to ask your dad for money."

"Yes, Yushui, you're all grown up now. You need to keep some money on you. You'll need to pay for tuition and living expenses at school. You don't have a job or income right now, so every penny you spend is a penny less. Besides, your dad has a skill, so he can earn money on his own. He's not short of money at all," Qin Jingru added.

He Yushui nodded: "Thank you, Brother Wang Feng, thank you, Sister-in-law Jingru. I'll tell my dad later."

"That's good. By the way, how's Shazhu's injury?" Wang Feng asked.

He Yushui sighed: "He is still very weak. He almost died this time. The doctor said he won't be able to do any heavy work in the future."

"Brother Wang Feng, Sister-in-law Jingru, I still need to cook some food to take to my parents, so I'll head back now."

"Okay, go quickly."

Looking at He Yushui's thin figure, Qin Jingru sighed and said:

"Brother Wang Feng, this rain is really pitiful. Not only does it have an unreliable brother, but it also has an untrustworthy father. Brother Wang Feng, do you know what? When I came back just now, I heard Auntie say that when He Daqing came back to the yard, he looked like a beggar. His whole body was tattered, and even his leg was lame."

Wang Feng sighed softly: "Yes, I thought that after Yu Shui severed her sibling relationship with Sha Zhu, she wouldn't be implicated by Sha Zhu anymore. But now, Sha Zhu is in trouble, and Yu Shui is dragged into it. This time, Yu Shui took a month-long leave. I don't know if she can still pass the vocational school entrance exam."

"That's right, this silly Zhu is too unreliable. He was infatuated with Qin Huairu before, and gave all the good food to the Jia family, leaving Yushui hungry every few days. After Yushui broke off her relationship with him, he kept having accidents. There was no one else at home, and Yushui couldn't not go to the hospital to take care of him. She couldn't just watch him die, after all, his father He Daqing was still alive."

"Alright, let's not talk about the rain anymore. There are four or five pounds of beef in the kitchen. Go and process it. Cook half of it tonight, and we can eat the other half tomorrow."

"Okay, Brother Wang Feng, I'll go right away."

Qin Jingru agreed and went to the kitchen.

......

The backyard, the Xu family's residence.

Xu Fugui rushed over from the movie theater and asked Xu Damao:

"Da Mao, why did you send Su Mei to see me in such a hurry?"

Xu Damao lay on the bed, smoking a Daqianmen cigarette, and said in a deep voice, "Dad, He Daqing is back today."

Xu Fugui asked in surprise, "You saw He Daqing with your own eyes?"

Xu Damao shook his head: "I didn't see it, but Auntie San saw it, and it's been the talk of the town for a while now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fugui's face darkened: "Da Mao, He Daqing is not as foolish as Sha Zhu. If we want to take action against Sha Zhu in the future, we must be more careful. Also, He Daqing is a ruthless character. If he suspects us, he may very well send someone to attack us."

At this point, a fierce glint flashed in Xu Fugui's eyes, and he made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Da Mao, I think we should go all the way and spend more money to take out He Daqing and Sha Zhu together, to eliminate them completely. Otherwise, given He Daqing's shrewdness, if something happens to Sha Zhu, combined with the accident that happened to Sha Zhu before, he is very likely to suspect us. With his personality, he will definitely seek revenge on us."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao frowned, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and asked with some concern:

"Dad, it was already so hard to kill Sha Zhu, and now there's He Daqing too. Won't something go wrong? We couldn't kill Sha Zhu the last few times, and now we have to deal with two at once. I'm worried that we'll end up wasting money like before."

They had already spent over a thousand yuan to find someone to deal with Sha Zhu, and now that they were going to kill two of them, it would cost them at least another thousand yuan. Xu Damao was starting to feel the pinch.

Xu Fugui sighed: "Da Mao, this money has to be spent. He Daqing was in Baoding before, and even if Sha Zhu died, he might not have known. But now that He Daqing is back, do you think he will let it go once Sha Zhu is dead? To eliminate future troubles, He Daqing must die."

"Da Mao, don't worry, this time Dad will definitely find a more reliable person to target. It will definitely not be like last time, where that so-called Ninth Master was nothing but a fart. We heard that they were very law-abiding in the underworld, but we didn't expect to waste our money. Now Ninth Master and his gang have long since disappeared."

Xu Damao nodded and said in a deep voice, "Dad, I'm leaving this matter to you. Once Shazhu is discharged from the hospital, immediately arrange for someone to take action against them. Also, when you go to find them, remember to wear a hood and change your voice so that we don't get implicated if they make a mistake."

"Cheng, Da Mao, don't worry. I know your dad has been working in Beijing for decades."

"By the way, Damao, I bought a chicken on the black market last night. I just had Sumei bring it over. Sumei will make you some soup tonight to help you recover."

"Yes, thank you, Dad."

Xu Fugui sighed: "Da Mao, take good care of yourself. Dad will head back now."

"become."

Xu Fugui stepped out of the room, his eyes gradually turning cold.

During this time, he and Da Mao's mother have been working very hard to have a baby, at least twice a day. He is almost completely drained and has lost a lot of weight.

For more than a month, he bought chickens and tonics to nourish his body, spending more than two hundred yuan, but Da Mao's mother's stomach showed no reaction at all. The Xu family line has been completely cut off. How could he not hate it?
