Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

He immediately concluded that Chen Wenqi must have deliberately tricked him, treating him like a fool, and he held a grudge against Chen Wenqi from that moment on.

Of course, even if Chen Wenqi knew about Yan Bugui's thoughts, he wouldn't take them to heart at all.

His perspective is now vastly different from before; his eyes are fixed on a much wider world, and the petty thoughts and schemes of those little people are utterly insignificant to him.

After leaving Shichahai, Chen Wenqi first went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative to inquire about the relevant information on grain seeds.

To his delight, the supply and marketing cooperative had a wide variety of grain seeds, including rice, corn, sorghum, wheat, peanuts, and soybeans, as well as various vegetable seeds such as radishes, cabbage, and cauliflower.

Chen Wenqi bought some of each kind of seed, spending a total of three yuan; then he spent two yuan and fifty cents to buy a pound of White Rabbit milk candy. This kind of milk candy did not require industrial coupons, but each person was limited to buying one pound, which was just enough to satisfy his craving.

You don't need to buy too many seeds, just some samples will do. When the crops in the secret realm mature, you can save the seeds yourself and gradually replant the empty land.

He stored all the seeds and candies he bought into the secret realm, and had the system specially plan a grain planting area, allocating 100 acres of land for each type of grain.

Although the current quantity of seeds is insufficient to cover all the land, the planting area can be gradually expanded in the future through continuous seed saving.

After buying the seeds, Chen Wenqi took a bus to Dongdan Market, where he planned to purchase some poultry, fruits, and vegetables.

To Chen Wenqi's delight, the market was exceptionally well-stocked, with fresh chickens, ducks, and geese all available for sale, clearly visible at a glance.

Although these poultry were not cheap, Chen Wenqi did not hesitate at all and decisively bought a pair of each kind, intending to take them back to the secret realm to raise.

Then, he carefully selected several plump and round sweet potatoes, potatoes with clean skin and no mud, and several bright red, fresh and tempting tomatoes.

In addition, he also picked a perfectly shaped, brightly colored apple and a small, exquisite watermelon with clear stripes.

In addition, he asked the stall owner to weigh some fresh grapes that were crystal clear and had a faint, sweet aroma.

It's the height of summer right now, and watermelons are in season and very affordable. Buying one and chilling it is the perfect way to cool down and quench your thirst.

After a round of shopping, Chen Wenqi had only six yuan left of the twenty-one yuan he originally carried with him.

When he passed a stall selling pigeons, he did not hesitate to spend four yuan to buy a pair of healthy pigeons.

Walking into a secluded corner of the market where no one would notice, Chen Wenqi quickly stored all the items he had purchased into his personal Xuanwu Secret Realm.

Inside the secret realm, the system had already followed his instructions and specially designated separate planting areas for vegetables and fruits. Chickens, ducks, geese, and the newly purchased pigeons also had their own dedicated poultry breeding areas. The layout of the entire secret realm was becoming more and more complete.

They've been out shopping for almost three hours now, and their daughter Chen Wensi and younger brother Chen Wenzi must be getting impatient.

Without wasting any more time, Chen Wenqi quickly walked to the bus stop and took a bus towards Nanluoguxiang.

As he approached the alleyway next to No. 95, Chen Wenqi looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, quietly took out two large fish that he had previously collected from the secret realm.

One of them weighed about three or four pounds, while the other was much larger, weighing a full five or six pounds. They looked plump and very tempting.

He firmly grasped the gills of the two fish and strode into the courtyard.

As soon as I pushed open the gate to the courtyard, I ran into Aunt Dong, who was enjoying the cool shade under the big tree by the gate.

Aunt Dong immediately spotted the two plump fish that Chen Wenqi was carrying. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she stared at the fish, unable to look away.

Aunt Dong immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, saying warmly, "Oh my, isn't this Chen Wenqi? Those two big fish you're holding are really nice, they look so fresh! Where did you get them?"

"Your Aunt Dong may not have many other skills, but cooking fish is a family heirloom. How about I help you prepare it, and you can have lunch at my house so I can let you taste my cooking?"

Chen Wenqi knew perfectly well that this Aunt Dong and her husband Yan Bugui were the same kind of people, with the same calculating nature in their bones, and even their tricks for taking advantage and building relationships were exactly the same.

As they were talking, Aunt Dong reached out to take the fish from Chen Wenqi's hand, but Chen Wenqi reacted quickly, dodging her hand with a sideways movement. He declined with a polite smile, saying, "No need to trouble Aunt Dong, I caught this fish while sea fishing in Shicha."

"Uncle Yan is such a good fisherman, I reckon his catch today won't be bad either, so you don't need to worry about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Wenqi quickened his pace and hurried towards the backyard, not giving Aunt Dong any more chances to pester him.

Seeing that Chen Wenqi was so disrespectful and turned to run away, Aunt Dong spat at his retreating figure, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.

But then she thought, if Chen Wenqi can catch such a big fish, then her husband Yan's fishing skills are much better than Chen Wenqi's. Maybe he can catch even more fish today, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

As they passed the Intermediate Court, Jia Zhangshi, that old shrew, was wandering aimlessly at the entrance. The moment her distinctive triangular eyes saw the two large fish in Chen Wenqi's hands, an undisguised look of greed flashed in them.

Jia Zhangshi immediately shouted in a shrill voice, "You little beast, you stop right there! You dare to insult me ​​in public today, so you'd better pay me back for these two fish, or I'll never forgive you!"

While shouting, Jia Zhangshi lunged at Chen Wenqi with her claws outstretched, clearly intending to snatch the fish.

Chen Wenqi reacted quickly, scrambling to the side and angrily rebuking Jia Zhangshi, "Old hag, I caught this fish myself! If you want to eat fish, let your son go catch some himself!"

"With your unreasonable and absurd behavior, you think you deserve to eat fish? I don't even think you deserve to eat shit!"

Enraged by Chen Wenqi's insults, Jia Zhangshi pointed her finger at his nose, hopping mad and shouting, "You ill-mannered little beast, how dare you curse me like that? You stop right there, don't run away!"

She was used to being domineering in this courtyard house, and she was the one who bullied others. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
