Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

After the meal.

Lu Banxia cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, brewed a pot of tea, and then went to wash the dishes.

She washed the dishes quickly. After washing them clean, she couldn't wait to come to Wang Feng. Without saying a word, she just stared straight at him.

She hadn't forgotten that Wang Feng had said he was going to give her a big surprise today, and that he was going to tell her the biggest secret in his family.

Today at the factory, she was so excited about the biggest secret Wang Feng was going to tell her, and the surprise he was going to mention, that she wished it would be evening soon.

Stared at so intently by Lu Banxia, ​​Wang Feng took a sip of tea and smiled:

"Banxia, ​​wait for me a moment, I'm going to get something."

With that, Wang Feng headed towards the room.

Seeing this, Qin Jingru knew perfectly well that Wang Feng was preparing to give Lu Banxia a nourishing soup.

She held Lu Banxia's small hand, patted the back of her hand, and felt happy for Lu Banxia.

After spending so much time together, she still liked Lu Banxia very much. Moreover, Lu Banxia's character was unassuming and she was willing to entrust Wang Feng with a huge sum of money, which was enough for her to completely trust her.

What does a million dollars mean in this era? It's money that countless people couldn't earn in ten or even a hundred lifetimes.

Wang Feng returned to his room and took out a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) from his spatial storage. However, this bottle of Erguotou was emerald green, because Wang Feng had diluted it with the third-generation Water of Life, which could be considered the first-generation Water of Life.

Approaching Lu Banxia, ​​Wang Feng handed her the Water of Life and smiled, saying:

"Banxia, ​​don't ask anything. Just drink this bottle of water first, and I'll explain later."

Qin Jingru patted Lu Banxia's hand and explained with a smile, "Banxia, ​​drink up. This isn't alcohol. Don't worry, Brother Wang Feng won't hurt you."

Lu Banxia nodded, opened the bottle, tilted her head back, and poured it into her mouth. She was really afraid that this was alcohol, and that if she drank this whole bottle, she would definitely get so drunk that she would pass out.

But when she drank it, it tasted sweet, a bit like sugar water, with no alcohol taste at all. She was overjoyed and drank the whole bottle in a few gulps.

After drinking it, she immediately felt warm and comfortable all over, and even her drowsiness disappeared. She felt particularly energetic and full of strength.

Seeing that Lu Banxia had finished drinking, Wang Feng said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, you should explain this to Banxia."

Qin Jingru nodded, then looked at Lu Banxia, ​​her expression becoming very serious:

"Banxia, ​​before I tell you the secret of our Wang family, you must swear a solemn oath that you will not reveal our family secret to anyone, including your Uncle Li, Aunt Li, and even after you have children, you will not tell them this secret without Brother Wang Feng's permission. Can you do that?"

"Jing... Sister Jingru, is it that serious?" Lu Banxia stammered.

Qin Jingru nodded solemnly: "It's extremely serious. If this secret is leaked, we will all face annihilation."

Seeing how serious Qin Jingru was, Lu Banxia didn't hesitate and immediately swore an oath to the heavens:

"I, Lu Banxia, ​​swear to the heavens that I will never reveal the Wang family's secrets to anyone. If I break this oath, may I die a horrible death."

Hearing Lu Banxia resolutely swear a solemn oath, Wang Feng and Qin Jingru were very satisfied.

"Banxia, ​​the water you just drank is a secret recipe passed down in our Wang family, called the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup. It's very precious. Don't you feel full of energy now?"

Before Lu Banxia could answer, Qin Jingru continued, "Banxia, ​​this Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup has amazing effects. After drinking it, you will feel a great increase in strength. I've already drunk four jin of it. Don't let my weak appearance fool you, I can easily lift four hundred jin now. If I were to fight, I could take on ten people like Shazhu."

"Banxia, ​​now you should know why the old Chinese medicine doctor looked at me so strangely when we went to Zhengyangmen to see him last time, right? It's because my body is too good now, abnormally good, or rather, my physical condition surpasses that of ordinary people."

As she spoke, Qin Jingru raised her snow-white neck, looking very proud.

Upon hearing this, Lu Banxia's eyes widened, her expression one of disbelief.

"Brother Feng, Sister Jingru, is this...is this real?"

Wang Feng and Qin Jingru nodded at the same time, which greatly alarmed Lu Banxia.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Wang Feng and Qin Jingru; they were her closest people now, but it was just so hard to believe.

But the facts are the facts. She is now basically certain that it is true, because she feels completely different from before. She feels much more relaxed and energetic, and even has a lot more strength.

Next, Qin Jingru told Lu Banxia about some of the Wang family's secrets, such as how the Wang family was a reclusive family and how extremely wealthy they were. She also mentioned that Wang Feng was the only son of the old Wang family, and that in addition to the two of them, there was also Lou Xiao'e in courtyard number 28.

Wang Feng was completely bewildered by Qin Jingru's remarks. When did she ever say that their Wang family was some kind of reclusive family?

Qin Jingru's mouth is too good at making things up! When he went to Qin Family Village to propose marriage before, he told Qin Jingru that he would soon be the deputy head of the purchasing department. But from Qin Jingru's mouth, he was already the deputy head. It's true that a story really does change after it's been told a few times.

Lu Banxia was completely confused, her small mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

She never imagined that Wang Feng, an ordinary deputy head of the purchasing department, would have such a big secret and background.

She had never even heard of this miraculous tonic soup. If it were truly that miraculous, and this information were to leak out, it could really lead to their annihilation.

Born into a wealthy capitalist family, she understood the greed and darkness of people's hearts better than Qin Jingru. Even her father, a patriotic businessman, had always helped our army, donating money and supplies, both before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Yet, in the end, his family was still ransacked by a greedy Duan Tiande.

Although her Uncle Li later exonerated her, her parents were gone, and of the family's assets that were originally worth more than ten million, only one million was returned.

No wonder Wang Feng and Qin Jingru kept it a secret from her for so long. This all-in-one tonic soup was just too tempting. It could not only strengthen the body, but also heal injuries and cure all diseases. If this got out, she was sure that people all over the world would come to arrest Wang Feng.
