Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

time flies.

Sunday has arrived again before we know it.

That noon, after Qin Huairu finished lunch at home, she made an excuse to ask Jia Zhangshi to watch the children, and then she went out.

It took less than ten minutes to walk to No. 38 Mao'er Hutong, a detached house. Qin Huairu knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

The door opened quickly, and Li Huaide was the one who opened it.

Li Huaide was very excited when he saw Qin Huairu. He pulled her into the house and quickly closed the door.

"Huai Ru, you're finally here! I've missed you so much!"

During this time, Qin Huairu often came to the factory director's office to see him, but Qin Huairu could only let him kiss and hug her at most, and absolutely refused to do *that* in the office. He had just found this detached courtyard house a couple of days ago, and today he could finally eat meat.

Qin Huairu followed Li Huaide into the house, playfully saying, "Brother De, don't be in such a hurry. We're already here, we're not going to run away, are we?"

"Hehe, no rush, it would be strange if we weren't in a hurry!"

Li Huaide roared, picked up Qin Huairu, threw her onto the bed, and then pounced on her.

"what……"

......

Two minutes later.

Li Huaide smiled with satisfaction. Today he finally got to eat Qin Huairu's excellent pork belly, which was a hundred times better than the shrewish wife at home.

In fact, Li Huaide had long had his eye on Qin Huairu. Before Qin Huairu even joined the factory, she and her mother-in-law came to the factory to cause trouble, and he was immediately attracted to her when he saw her.

But later he found out that Qin Huairu was actually Wang Feng's sister-in-law. In order not to ruin his relationship with Wang Feng, he refrained from making a move.

But things are different now. This time, Qin Huairu came to him on her own initiative, and he even had his secretary find out that neither Wang Feng nor Qin Jingru got along with Qin Huairu. If he didn't make a move, he wouldn't be Li Huaide.

Qin Huairu only met Li Huaide for two minutes and found him to be only slightly better than Jia Dongxu. She secretly despised him, but fortunately, that wasn't what she wanted; she wanted Li Huaide's money.

Her face flushed, and she drew circles on Li Huaide's chest, feigning adoration, and said:

"Brother De, you're amazing."

"Hahaha."

Li Huaide was in high spirits, and pulled out two large black ten bills from his pocket, laughing:

"Huai Ru, here's twenty yuan. Take it and buy some good food to nourish yourself. Oh, and I bought a roast duck at Quanjude this morning. Take it back for the kids later."

Seeing Li Huaide being so generous, giving her money and roast duck, Qin Huairu was overjoyed. She quickly took the money and gave Li Huaide a big kiss on the cheek.

"Mmm."

"Brother De, you're so good to me."

Li Huaide revealed a wicked smile: "Huai Ru, come with me. As long as you serve me well, I guarantee you'll live a good life."

"Um."

Qin Huairu rested her head on Li Huaide's chest, feeling that everything she had done before was worth it.

Since her father severed ties with her, she has come to realize in the past week that she can't rely on her parents or men. The only reliable things are money and her only son, Banggeng.

All she wants now is to save more money to raise Banggeng to adulthood, and then use Li Huaide's connections to give Banggeng a future.

Li Huaide is only forty years old and is already a department-level cadre. After he retires, he might even become a vice-ministerial level cadre. As long as she firmly grasps Li Huaide's heart, when Banggeng grows up, it will be easy for Li Huaide to find a good future for Banggeng.

The two rested on the bed for half an hour, and then Qin Huairu took the initiative to seduce Li Huaide, quickly arousing his temper.

Li Huaide and Qin Huairu then engaged in a two-minute-long physical battle. Afterwards, Li Huaide was panting heavily, and Qin Huairu was panting heavily in response, praising Li Huaide for his prowess. This made Li Huaide extremely happy, and in the end, the two of them fell into a deep sleep while holding each other.

......

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Qin Huairu walked out of the courtyard at No. 38 Mao'er Hutong with the oil paper package in her hand, feeling very happy.

Although Li Huaide was relatively old and not good-looking, he was generous, wealthy, and the director of a steel rolling mill.

Anyway, it's all the same. Men are all pretty much the same, and Li Huaide is no good either. It only lasts for two minutes. At worst, she can just treat it as a mosquito bite.

Back at the Jia family home, Qin Huairu took out the oil paper package from her bag and waved to Banggeng with a smile.

"Bang Geng, Mom bought a roast duck today. Let you have a few pieces first, and we'll eat the rest with dinner tonight."

"Really? Mom, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Banggeng looked incredulous. His mother always said she would buy him meat when she got paid, but she hadn't bought him meat even once in all the years she had been paid.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Bang Geng, and without saying anything more, directly opened the oil paper package.

When Banggeng saw that it really was roast duck, and there was so much of it, he immediately shouted excitedly.

"It really is roast duck! It really is roast duck! Mom, I want to eat it, I want to eat roast duck!"

As he spoke, Banggeng grabbed a few pieces of duck meat with his dirty hand and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Mmm, delicious, roast duck is so good."

Jia Zhangshi, who was sitting at the door sewing shoe soles, heard Bang Geng's loud shout. She quickly put down the shoe soles and went into the house.

When she saw so many roast ducks, she didn't care how Qin Huairu got them. She stretched out her dark hands, grabbed a few pieces of duck meat, and stuffed them into her mouth.

The roast duck was long gone and had lost its meaty aroma, but the grandmother and grandson, Jia and Zhang, still ate with relish. They hadn't eaten meat in so long, their stomachs were empty, and they were starving.

Seeing that the two of them had already eaten several pieces, Qin Huairu quickly put the roast duck away and said:

"Alright, just eat a few pieces to taste it. I'll heat up the roast duck for dinner; it'll taste even better."

"Mom, I want to eat! I want more! Give me a few more pieces!" Bang Geng shouted.

"Bang Geng, be good, we'll eat it at dinner, otherwise Mom won't bring you roast duck anymore."
