Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The backyard, the Liu family's house.

When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu smelled the aroma of meat and saw Liu Haizhong eating scrambled eggs with gusto, they found it hard to swallow the cornbread in their hands.

Liu Haizhong ate a sip of wine and a bite of scrambled eggs with great enjoyment, completely disregarding the feelings of Liu Guangtian and his brother.

After finishing the last sip of wine, Liu Haizhong felt he hadn't had enough, so he went under the bed to get more wine.

Just then, Liu Guangfu seized the opportunity to quickly pick up a piece of scrambled egg from Liu Haizhong's bowl and stuff it into his mouth.

Liu Guangtian also wanted to sneak a bite of the scrambled eggs, but he was afraid that if he took too much, his father would find out and the two brothers would get a beating again.

Liu Guangfu took a bite of the scrambled eggs, his face full of enjoyment. Seeing his father still taking out wine from under the bed, he couldn't resist picking up another piece of scrambled eggs with his chopsticks.

Before I could even put the scrambled eggs in my mouth, my second aunt, who had just come out of the kitchen, saw me. This was no small matter.

The second auntie yelled at the top of her lungs, "Old Liu, Old Liu, Guangfu stole your scrambled eggs!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong quickly turned around and saw that Liu Guangfu had picked up a piece of scrambled egg with his chopsticks.

"Click".

Liu Guangfu was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, and the scrambled eggs on his chopsticks fell to the ground. He looked at Liu Haizhong and explained with an embarrassed smile:

"Dad, Dad, I didn't mean to steal your scrambled eggs. A mosquito fell into your bowl, and I just wanted to get it out for you. Really, you can believe me!"

The second aunt sneered, "Guangfu, do you think we're fools? Even if a mosquito fell into the bowl, would you need to pick up such a big piece of scrambled egg?"

Liu Haizhong walked to the octagonal table without saying a word, placed the wine on it, looked at Liu Guangfu, and said:

"I trust you."

As he spoke, he drew the Seven Wolves sword from his waist and lashed it out at Liu Guangfu.

"what!"

Liu Guangfu was whipped so hard he jumped up and down on the spot, letting out a piercing scream.

Liu Guangtian was also trembling with fear, but he hadn't stolen his dad's scrambled eggs this time, so he probably wouldn't get a beating, right?

Seeing this, the second aunt gave a cold smile and quickly closed the door to prevent the two brothers from running out.

Liu Haizhong gradually cornered Liu Guangfu, and even Liu Guangtian was frightened by his father's fierce gaze and subconsciously retreated to the corner.

"Dad, Dad, this has nothing to do with me! I didn't eat a single egg!"

Liu Guangtian hurriedly explained, fearing he would be implicated.

Liu Haizhong sneered, "I know you didn't steal any food, but I'm in a bad mood today. Whether you stole any or not, you two are going to get a beating."

As soon as he finished speaking...

As if it had eyes, Liu Haizhong swung the Seven Wolves sword at Liu Guangtian with perfect accuracy.

"Smack."

"what!"

Liu Guangtian screamed in pain as he was whipped, and hurriedly cried out, "Dad, Dad, you can't be so unreasonable! I didn't steal your scrambled eggs, and I didn't do anything wrong. You can't hit me for no reason!"

Liu Guangfu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He didn't expect his mother to come out of the kitchen just in time to see him sneaking a bite of scrambled eggs.

"Clap clap clap".

"Aaaaaah!"

Liu Haizhong didn't like listening to their explanations. He wielded the Seven Wolves sword with impenetrable force, and every time it landed, the two brothers screamed in agony.

"Dad, Dad, please stop hitting me! Please stop hitting me! I know I was wrong, I'll never steal your eggs again!" Liu Guangfu cried out in terror.

Unfortunately, Liu Haizhong was in the middle of a fierce fight, so how could he just stop?

He was extremely frustrated during this period. Not only did he fail to become a team leader in the factory, but he also wasted five hundred yuan.

Wang Feng, however, was promoted to a level 17 cadre, and his life was getting better and better. In this year, he could even eat meat every now and then.

This old worker, who had worked diligently in the steel rolling mill for thirty years, was getting worse and worse off, and even owed several apprentices a huge debt.

Thinking about this, he became even angrier and swung the belt in his hand even harder.

"Aaaaaah!"

Liu Guangtian glared at Liu Haizhong with hatred in his eyes. Even when the belt struck him, he gritted his teeth and endured it without making a sound. However, his gaze toward Liu Haizhong grew colder and colder.

This time, he didn't steal any eggs or do anything wrong, but because his father was in a bad mood, he wanted to beat him to vent his anger, which made him increasingly resentful of his father.

If he weren't currently unemployed and unable to support himself, he would have left this family long ago.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Liu Haizhong, enduring the excruciating pain of the belt whipping his body. He secretly vowed that once he was able to support himself, he would never return to this home, not even if his parents died.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

At noon, Wang Feng, Qin Jingru, and the other two had a big appetite and finished off the pheasant and rabbit in one meal. If the people in the yard saw this, they would be absolutely astonished.

Wang Feng and Qin Jingru are both big eaters, especially Wang Feng. If he only eats meat and not the fine rice grown with the water of life, he can easily eat five pounds of beef in one meal.

After having this premium rice, his, Qin Jingru's, and Lou Xiao'e's appetites returned to normal. Wang Feng ate only two large bowls of rice per meal, similar to an average person, while Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e could only eat less than one and a half bowls per meal.

Lu Banxia rubbed her lower abdomen. She was already used to Wang Feng and Qin Jingru's appetites. They ate the same things, but Wang Feng and Qin Jingru's appetites were clearly several times that of hers.

Since eating this premium rice, Lu Banxia has felt more and more energetic, and even her strength has increased.

She knew that this rice was definitely not normal. No matter how much she ate, she would feel full after eating only half a bowl of rice at most, but she could eat more vegetables.

However, she was a smart woman. The rice, the flour they ate in the morning, and the tea they usually drank must be Wang Feng's secret. Now that she had become Wang Feng's woman, she would definitely not reveal this secret.

After Lu Banxia finished washing the dishes, she brewed a pot of tea. Just as Wang Feng was about to drink his tea, he heard the mournful screams of Liu Guangtian and his brother coming from the backyard.
