Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

When Aunt Er heard Liu Guangtian so clearly distance himself from the situation, she shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Guangtian, you beast, you animal! Your father and I have raised you for nothing!"

Liu Guangfu continued eating, while Liu Guangtian said coldly, "Mom, don't make yourselves sound so noble. Yes, you did give birth to me and raised me to adulthood, so I should be filial to you. I don't deny that."

"But you raised me to adulthood, and you beat me from childhood to adulthood. Dad even used my brother and me as punching bags. He would beat us when he was drunk or when he was in a bad mood. I asked the union at the factory recently, and I'm telling you, this is called abuse."

"Don't think I don't know. From beginning to end, you've only ever treated my eldest brother as your son. Guangfu and I were just born by accident, or maybe you picked us up. Now look what's happened, my eldest brother has run away too. If you want to find a dutiful son, go find my eldest brother."

"You...you!"

Aunt Erda was speechless after Liu Guangtian spoke to her. Her face turned pale and then purple. A huge wave of emotions surged in her heart. She did not expect that Guangtian had become so eloquent after only working in the factory for a short time. Was this still her son?

Liu Haizhong was sitting outside when he heard Liu Guangtian's words. He couldn't hold back any longer, so he dropped the cornbread in his hand and stormed into Liu Guangtian's room in a huff.

"You unfilial son, you unfilial son, I'm going to beat you to death today!"

Liu Haizhong roared and drew the Seven Wolves sword from his waist, about to strike Liu Guangtian.

When Liu Guangtian saw his father about to whip him with the belt again, he was fearless and roared:

"Go ahead and hit me, if you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, I'll report you to the factory union later, and I'm also going to the neighborhood office to find Director Wang. The union told me that if you dare to hit me and Guangfu again without reason, they'll tell us to go to the union. If this gets out, how will you have the face to work in the factory after that?"

Liu Haizhong was trembling with anger, but he dared not strike again with the whip in his hand.

"You...you beast, fine, you want to cut ties with me, huh? I'll cut all ties with you today. When you have no food to eat in the future, I'll feed the dog the grain rather than give it to you, you ungrateful wretch."

"Who cares?" Liu Guangtian said with a disdainful look.

"you……"

Liu Haizhong pointed at Liu Guangtian, unable to utter a single word. Finally, he turned his gaze to Liu Guangfu, who was wolfing down a steamed bun.

"Guangfu, put down your steamed bun and come eat some cornbread. If you ever dare to eat here again, I'm not going to take care of you anymore."

"what?"

Liu Guangfu put down the steamed bun in a daze and said, "Dad, can't you be reasonable? I didn't say a word just now. You can argue all you want, but don't drag me into it!"

"Get here right now, or you can live with him."

Liu Haizhong roared, which startled Liu Guangfu.

Seeing this, Liu Guangtian nodded slightly to Liu Guangfu, who then obediently went back to eat his cornbread.

There was no other way; Liu Guangtian's current salary could only support himself. If Guangfu lived with him, they would both go hungry.

Moreover, Guangfu is not even 15 years old yet. Liu Haizhong should raise Guangfu until he comes of age. When Guangfu turns 18, he might be a level 3 fitter or even higher. At that time, even if he has to support Guangfu, he can afford to do so.

Seeing that the relationship in their family was getting more and more strained, the second aunt kept wiping away tears. How could such a good family have turned out like this?

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

Lu Banxia made shredded pork noodles in the morning. After the three of them finished breakfast, Lu Banxia pushed her bicycle and prepared to go to the steel rolling mill.

Wang Feng quickly stopped her: "Banxia, ​​don't go back to No. 95 after get off work this afternoon. We'll have dinner and sleep in No. 28 tonight."

"OK."

Lu Banxia agreed without asking why, and pushed her bicycle out the door.

After Lu Banxia walked away, Qin Jingru said, "Brother Wang Feng, now that Banxia knows our family's secret, I think we should stay at Goose's place every day or two. It's a private house with its own yard, so we don't have to brew Chinese medicine for cooking. If you brew Chinese medicine all day, people will think you're not healthy."

Wang Feng nodded: "Yes, that's what I was thinking too. But we should try to come back on Sunday. The last two times, Uncle Banxia's bodyguard, I think his name was something like Wang Dachui, came to see Banxia on Sunday. We haven't let Uncle Banxia know about this yet, so we still have to keep it a secret for now."

"Hehe, let's hurry up and go to Courtyard No. 28. I don't want to stay in Courtyard No. 95 anymore. I used to see fights all the time, but I haven't seen any exciting shows lately."

Actually, Qin Jingru didn't want to live in Courtyard No. 95 because of this incident. The main reason was that the house in Courtyard No. 95 was too small, with only one bed.

Now that she is pregnant, she has to watch Wang Feng and Lu Banxia being affectionate every night, which makes her very uncomfortable. She wants to sleep but can't, and can only stare blankly every night.

"Okay, let's go."

Wang Feng didn't think too much about it. He locked the door, pushed his bicycle, and left No. 95 with Qin Jingru, heading towards No. 28.

The two arrived at courtyard number 28. Lou Xiao'e poured them a cup of tea and said:

"Brother Feng, we're almost out of vegetables and rice."

Wang Feng nodded: "You guys rest at home, I'll go out and get some rice and vegetables."

"OK."

Wang Feng pushed his bicycle away from No. 28 Courtyard. He wandered around for about twenty minutes before arriving at a secluded alley, where he retrieved something from his spatial storage.

He first took out 100 jin of top-quality rice, then thought for a moment and took out three chickens, three rabbits, two fish, and two geese from his spatial storage.

Lou Xiao'e keeps these animals around so she can kill them whenever she wants to eat them.

Then he took out two jin of pork, two jin of mutton, and two jin of beef from the space warehouse. These meats were for today's meal.

Wang Feng, Qin Jingru, and the other two women are all big eaters; they can eat six pounds of meat in two meals a day without having to.

He tied the rice and meat to the back seat and rode his bicycle back to courtyard number 28.

"Son, there's a hundred catties of rice here, along with some meat and wild rabbit. Go and put them away quickly, or they'll die if you leave them too long."

"OK."

Lou Xiao'e quickly put the chickens, rabbits, and geese into cages, then put the fish into a large water tank, and then carried 100 jin of rice to the kitchen.

Lou Xiao'e carried a hundred-pound bag of rice in one hand, looking completely relaxed. If her mother saw this, she would be terrified.
