Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

"Brother Wang Feng, it's them. The tallest one is the one I beat to the point of vomiting blood yesterday," Qin Jingru whispered to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng nodded, parked his bicycle, looked at the five youths, and smiled, asking, "What explanation do you want?"

"She hit my brother Qiang, so of course she has to pay with her body. If she agrees to be my brother Qiang's woman, we'll let her go. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't move an inch in Beijing."

"That's right, why don't you hurry up and agree? There's a line of girls from Dongzhimen to Xizhimen who want to be my brother's woman. If it weren't for the fact that this girl is pretty, you'd be dreaming if you wanted to be my brother's woman."

"Hey kid, who are you? Are you this girl's brother? Do you know who I, Brother Qiang, am? The son of the Vice Minister of Public Security. You'd better send your sister over here right now, or you'll get plenty of benefits later."

Hearing the flattery from his underlings, Zhang Daqiang arrogantly raised his chin, glancing sideways at Qin Jingru with a lewd look.

He rarely saw such a beautiful girl. Some girls were pretty, but they were not easy to mess with. However, he had inquired about the girl in front of him and found that she was just an apprentice at Fengzeyuan. Now that he had met her, he certainly did not want to let her go.

Wang Feng coldly stared at the five youths, pointed at Qin Jingru, and said in a deep voice, "She is my wife. How dare you act like hooligans towards my wife? I think you're courting death. Today, I'd like to see if your fathers dare to stand up for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Feng rushed towards the five people, kicking the person who had just spoken away and then punching another person to the ground.

"Bang bang bang".

"Ahhh."

Wang Feng knocked the five men to the ground with just a few punches and kicks. He really went all out this time, breaking a rib for each of them.

"Kid, you're dead meat! How dare you hit us? Let me tell you, you're dead meat! I'll make sure you and your family can't survive in Beijing!" Zhang Daqiang shouted, spitting out his bloody teeth.

Wang Feng walked up to Zhang Daqiang, stepped on his arm, and exerted a little force.

"Click."

"what!"

Zhang Daqiang let out a hysterical scream, and the other four youths, seeing how ruthless this man was, dared not shout anymore.

Wang Feng looked at Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, ride your bicycle to the police station and report that someone has been harassing you."

"Okay, Brother Wang Feng, I'll go right away."

Qin Jingru nodded and rode her bicycle toward the police station.

When the group saw that this man had not only broken their ribs, he dared to report it to the police station. Didn't he know that Brother Qiang's father was the Vice Minister of Public Security?

Soon, Qin Jingru brought six police officers. The older officer approached the young men and said:

"Comrade Qin Jingru said you made indecent advances towards her. Come with us to the police station for investigation."

Zhang Daqiang staggered to his feet and shouted at the policeman:

"What's your name? Do you know who my father is? Let me tell you, my father is Zhang Jianlian. Just because she said we were being a hooligan, does that mean we were being a hooligan? Let me tell you, I'm calling the police now. Those two beat us up and seriously injured us without any reason. Arrest them right now!"

Upon hearing that he was the son of Vice Minister Zhang, the six police officers were shocked. However, they were all former soldiers and usually disliked such unruly children of officials.

The older police officer hesitated for only a second before waving to the five officers: "Take them all back to the station for questioning."

"Yes."

"You actually arrested me? Believe me or not, I'll send you all back to the countryside to farm tomorrow! Do you even know who we are?"

Unfortunately, the six police officers wouldn't listen to their lecture. They put handcuffs on each of them and took them away.

The older police officer said, "Comrade Qin Jingru, you should come with us to the police station as well."

Wang Feng smiled and nodded: "No problem."

Soon, the two arrived at Xicheng Police Station.

After taking her statement, the older police officer said to Qin Jingru, "Comrade Qin Jingru, thank you for your cooperation. Once we have investigated the matter thoroughly, we will definitely give you justice."

"Thank you, officers."

After Wang Feng and Qin Jingru left the police station, Wang Feng took Qin Jingru to Fengzeyuan and then left, saying he would come back to pick her up at 1 p.m.

When Wang Feng returned to courtyard number 28, it was already 11 o'clock. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Lou Xiao'e steaming buns.

"Brother Feng, take a break. I'm steaming buns, and I've already chopped the vegetables. We'll have lunch soon," Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

"Um."

"Brother Feng, did you run into those people who were harassing Sister Jingru today?"

Wang Feng nodded: "We ran into them, beat them up, called the police, and they were arrested."

"Hehe, Brother Feng, you're amazing."

Wang Feng smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

Now we'll see if those people can still come out. That guy named Zhang Daqiang tried to hold Qin Jingru's hand yesterday, but Qin Jingru avoided him. I don't know if that counts as being a hooligan.

If those people can still come out and dare to cause trouble again, Wang Feng wouldn't mind killing their whole family. He would either not kill them or eliminate them completely, so that a large group of enemies wouldn't even be noticed one day.

If these people were raised like this, their parents probably weren't exactly saints either.

Wang Feng sat in the courtyard drinking tea and smoking a few cigarettes when he smelled the aroma of food.

"Brother Feng, the food is ready. Come and try my stir-fried green peppers with pork."

Wang Feng arrived at the dining table, picked up a piece of wild boar meat, put it in his mouth, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Son, your cooking is pretty good! I didn't expect you to improve so quickly!"

Wang Feng felt genuinely good; although she was far from being comparable to Qin Jingru, she was at least much better than him.

Lou Xiao'e smiled brightly upon hearing Wang Feng's praise.

"Hehe, Brother Feng, I don't know what happened, but Sister Jingru taught me to cook, and I feel that it's much better than my mom's teaching. After Sister Jingru taught me once, I could cook the dishes in a decent way, but they just don't taste as good as Sister Jingru's."

Wang Feng smiled slightly. He guessed that this was thanks to the Water of Life. After drinking three catties of the Water of Life, Qin Jingru became a culinary genius. After drinking four catties, even Master Wu said that Qin Jingru would soon surpass him.

Now that Lou Xiao'e has drunk a pound of the "water of life," her brain has probably been developed, so it's normal that she learns things faster than before.

After lunch, Lou Xiao'e brewed a pot of tea for Wang Feng. Wang Feng drank a few cups of tea, smoked a cigarette, and seeing that it was almost one o'clock, he rode his bicycle to pick up Qin Jingru.

Upon arriving at Fengzeyuan, Qin Jingru waved to him from the entrance.

"Brother Wang Feng, have you eaten yet?"

"We've already eaten, so why haven't I seen Wu Yun?" Wang Feng asked.

"Wu Yun and Master have already gone back. I told them that Brother Wang Feng would be picking me up today, so I didn't go with them," Qin Jingru said with a smile.

"Let's go back then."

"Um."
