Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Qin Jingru was very happy today, and her belly was also very cooperative, giving birth to a son with her first child.

Although she got along well with Lou Xiao'e and Lu Banxia, ​​she also had her own selfish motives. Her first child was the eldest son of the Wang family, which would give her and her child more say in the family.

This isn't about fighting for power or profit. The Wang family is very wealthy and can easily spend hundreds of kilograms of gold. They even have a company in Hong Kong. They can afford to raise as many children as they want, and the children will all be able to live well in the future. There's no need for them to fight over it.

Another problem she was most worried about was that if she gave birth to a daughter instead of a son, and then Lou Xiao'e and Lu Banxia had the eldest son of the Wang family, it would cause some trouble.

After all, she is the eldest son of the first wife. If the children don't fight over it, it's fine. But if they do fight, it's likely to cause conflict. This is the best outcome. She is the eldest son of the first wife, and her children are the eldest sons. The possibility of her children fighting for power and profit in the future will be much smaller, unless her eldest son is really the kind of person who can't be helped. Then there's nothing that can be done.

Wang Feng was unaware that Qin Jingru and the others were already thinking about the future. He went to the living room, pretended to open the cabinet, took out a bottle of water of life from his spatial storage, and then returned to his room.

"Jingru, if you drink this bottle of Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup, the pain should lessen."

"Yeah, Brother Wang Feng, you're so good to me."

Qin Jingru was deeply moved. She took the bottle, opened the cap, and gulped down a whole pound of the "water of life" in just a few mouthfuls.

As soon as the water of life went down her throat, Qin Jingru felt a warm current flow through her body. Her pain quickly lessened, and she felt incredibly energetic and even stronger.

"Jingru, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?" Wang Feng asked.

Qin Jingru nodded her head: "Yeah, much better, it doesn't hurt as much as before. Thank you, Brother Wang Feng."

Wang Feng waved his hand with a smile: "No need to thank me. You've helped my Wang family to have more descendants. You're a great contributor to our family. I'm more than grateful to you."

"Alright, Jingru, you get some rest. I'll go out and greet Aunt Zhang and the others. I'll have Banxia stew an old hen for you at noon to help you recover."

"Um."

Qin Jingru felt both happy and sweet. She was happy because she had given birth to the Wang family's eldest son today, and sweet because Brother Wang Feng was still so good to her.

Wang Feng went outside and saw Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wu chatting. He walked up to Aunt Zhang and said happily:

"Aunt Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

Aunt Zhang smiled and waved her hand, "No need to thank me, it's what I should do. By the way, where's the child?"

"The child is already asleep," Wang Feng said with a smile.

As he spoke, he took out two yuan from his pocket and then took out a red envelope and handed it over.

"Aunt Zhang, this is a token of your appreciation for your hard work, and this red envelope is a little something extra for you."

This time, Wang Feng had Aunt Zhang deliver Qin Jingru's baby, and including the labor fee and red envelope, it cost him a full twelve yuan. It wasn't that he was being greedy, but rather that he didn't want any accidents to happen, since he wasn't short of money.

He had previously agreed with Aunt Zhang that he would only give her a ten-yuan red envelope if both mother and child were safe and sound, so that Aunt Zhang would definitely pay more attention when delivering the baby.

"Hehehe, congratulations, Aunt Zhang, please accept this. I wish the child a healthy and happy growth, and I also wish you and Jingru many children and much happiness."

Aunt Zhang accepted the money and red envelope, beaming from ear to ear, and showered everyone with compliments.

Wang Feng gave her far too much. Usually, when she delivered babies, she would only receive two yuan as a service fee, plus a few cents in a red envelope, and at most, she would receive a red envelope containing two yuan. But Wang Feng gave her a red envelope containing a full ten yuan, which was equivalent to several of the babies she had delivered.

"Wang Feng, the baby has just been born. You need to take good care of Jingru while she is in postpartum confinement. There is no one to look after Aunt Zhang's grandson right now, so I'll head back first. If you need anything or don't understand anything in the future, feel free to come to your Aunt Zhang."

"Okay, Aunt Zhang, take care."

Wang Feng knew about Aunt Zhang's family situation; there were indeed no adults at home right now, and he was a little worried about her being away for so long.

Aunt Zhang waved happily to Wang Feng and the others before leaving courtyard number 95.

After Aunt Zhang left, Wang Feng smiled and said to Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, could you please kill an old hen for me later? I'll have Banxia stew it for lunch to nourish Jingru."

Aunt Wu scolded, "What's the trouble? Your family's business is Aunt Wu's business. Besides, you don't want the chicken head or the chicken butt, so Aunt Wu is actually getting a good deal."

"Oh right, I made two outfits and two pairs of shoes for the child a few months ago, I'll bring them over later."

Hearing this, Wang Feng nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Wu, you've gone to so much trouble."

Wang Feng never expected that Aunt Wu had started making clothes and shoes for the child several months ago. Although his family didn't lack these things, it was still a token of her good intentions.

"Don't mention it, you're being too polite. I made all the clothes and shoes myself, and they didn't cost much. Please don't mind. Jingru isn't feeling well right now, so I'll just go to your chicken coop and get a chicken to kill myself. I'll bring it over to you once it's done," Aunt Wu said with a grin.

As she spoke, Aunt Wu went to Wang Feng's chicken coop, grabbed a big, fat hen, and happily led Ya Ya to the front yard.

Wang Feng had already prepared four or five hens, just waiting for Qin Jingru to give birth, so that he could use them to nourish Qin Jingru's body.

After Aunt Wu disappeared from sight, Lu Banxia said, "Brother Feng, I heard from Aunt Zhang that Sister Jingru should try not to get out of bed during this period and should rest more. How about I take half a month off from the factory? I'll feel more at ease if I take care of Sister Jingru at home."

Wang Feng thought for a moment. Qin Jingru's physique was different from ordinary people, so it shouldn't be that exaggerated. He had just given Qin Jingru a bottle of the Water of Life, and maybe she would be able to go to work in the fields tomorrow without any problems.

However, it's better to be cautious, since childbirth is a life-threatening experience for most women, especially in this day and age.

"Alright, our family doesn't rely on your salary anyway. Go ask for leave tomorrow."

"Um."

Lu Banxia smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Brother Feng, I'm going in to check on Sister Jingru."

Wang Feng also returned to his room and took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy from the cabinet, which weighed about two pounds.

I'm happy today, so I'm handing out wedding candies to everyone in the courtyard to celebrate. Let's skip the banquet; these days, many people don't even have wild vegetable dumplings to eat, so it's better to keep a low profile.
