Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The backyard, the Liu family's house.

Liu Haizhong kept waving the belt in his hand, beating the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu until their skin was torn and bleeding.

"Dad, we didn't do anything wrong today, why are you hitting us again? Even if you're angry, you can't take it out on us! Ah! Dad, I know I was wrong! Ah! Please stop hitting us, Guangfu is going to die if you keep hitting him!"

"Waaaaah, Dad, I can't take it anymore! Ah! Stop hitting me!"

The two brothers were cornered, and with each lash of the belt, a welt appeared on their bodies. Before long, they were covered in wounds.

"You two brats, I'm your father, so what if I hit you?"

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong became even more ruthless.

"Ah...ah!"

The two brothers screamed in pain as they were beaten, begging Liu Haizhong to stop, but Liu Haizhong not only ignored them but also hit them harder.

Seeing this, Liu Guangqi and his second aunt simply watched coldly, without making any attempt to plead for them.

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

Qin Jingru, holding Wang Feng's foot, suddenly heard a shrill cry and asked in confusion, "Brother Wang Feng, whose family is arguing?"

Wang Feng chuckled: "Didn't I tell you before? It's Second Uncle Liu Haizhong beating his son. Liu Haizhong has only three hobbies in his life: being an official, eating eggs, and beating his son."

At this point, Wang Feng continued, "Hehe, I got promoted today. Liu Hai was furious, but he didn't dare to hit anyone else, so he could only take it out on his son."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru smiled and said, "Brother Wang Feng, everyone in your courtyard is so talented!"

"Hehe, Jingru, let me tell you, you'll never be bored living in this compound," Wang Feng laughed.

"Hmm, Wang Feng mentioned before that your department seems to have nine outstanding talents. Let me think... Hmm, I've got it. Let's start with the front department."

Yan Fugui is known for his diligence and thrift.

"Yi Zhonghai, the Moral Celestial Venerable".

"He Yuzhu, the God of Simps"

"Ambassador for Summoning Souls, Jia Zhangshi".

"The Flourishing White Lotus of Qinhuai".

"The thief's staff meme."

"Promotion and wealth in bangs"

"Xu Damao is a virtuous and upright man."

"The old woman who pretends to be deaf and mute."

"Hehe, Jingru, your memory is pretty good, isn't it?" Wang Feng laughed.

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, I love watching the excitement. I remembered everything you told me before."

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Jia family.

Madam Jia Zhang glared fiercely at Qin Huairu with her triangular eyes and shouted, "Qin Huairu, are you dead? I told you to go borrow money from Qin Jingru, but you wouldn't go. I told you to go ask her for meat, but you wouldn't go. Now you're not even cooking. Are you trying to turn the world upside down?"

Qin Huairu was like a walking corpse at this moment, letting Jia Zhangshi beat and scold her without saying a word. As soon as she got home, she lay on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and cried softly alone in the quilt.

Without comparison, there is no harm. She and Jingru are cousins ​​from the same grandfather. Why is Jingru's man so good to her and so capable, becoming a deputy section chief at such a young age?

As for her, she had endless housework every day, couldn't even get enough cornmeal to eat, and had to endure beatings and scoldings from her wicked mother-in-law every day. If it weren't for Sha Zhu's frequent help, she really wouldn't have been able to survive.

Seeing Qin Huairu crying her eyes out on the bed, Jia Dongxu pulled Jia Zhangshi aside and said, "Mom, please don't scold Huairu. She's probably just upset. I'll go cook now."

"Ugh! Qin Huairu, you jinx! How could my Dongxu have married such a useless piece of trash like you?"

After saying that, Jia Zhangshi was too hungry to continue and lay down on the bed in a huff.

The backyard, the home of the deaf old lady.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old woman and asked, "Grandma, I've come to ask you something."

The deaf old woman waved her hand: "You want to ask why we haven't attacked that little beast Wang Feng yet, right?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

The deaf old woman pondered for a moment and said, "Zhonghai is not what it used to be. We haven't received any news these past few days that Wang Feng is going to the countryside. It's too risky to make a move in the city. Besides, Wang Feng is such a good fighter. If he causes any trouble in the city and it gets back to us, we'll be in trouble."

"Zhonghai, I know you're anxious, but don't worry. I've arranged for two people to wait for that kid Wang Feng outside the city. Once he leaves the city, he won't be able to escape. We also have people in the purchasing department. Even if Wang Feng is very patient, he can't stay out of the city forever."

"Yes, ma'am, I understand."

......

late at night.

Wang Feng opened his eyes and saw that Qin Jingru was sleeping soundly. He gently took his hand off Qin Jingru's teddy bear, quickly put on his clothes and a head covering, and quietly opened the door before heading towards the backyard.

The deaf old woman, the mastermind behind it all, not only got the robbers to kill his father, but he was also stabbed twice. He would never forget this grudge.

Moreover, the deaf old lady was actually the Princess Consort of Prince Qing. I guess there must have been a lot of gold and silver jewelry hidden in her house.

Wang Feng kept his eyes open and his ears attentive. Seeing that there was no movement in the entire courtyard, he tiptoed to the backyard.

When he arrived at the deaf old woman's house, about ten meters away, he had just taken out his dagger and was about to pry open her door when he heard voices coming from inside. He quickly hid to the side and listened carefully.

"Grandma, so many years have passed, your son has been dead for a long time, why don't you believe it? Look how old you are, guarding that treasure is useless, why not tell us about it? Don't worry, as long as my master gets the treasure, we will make sure you live a comfortable life in your old age."

The deaf old woman waved her hand and made a three-pointing gesture: "Three years. If my son still hasn't contacted me in three years, I'll tell you where the treasure is. Don't bother me during this time, otherwise, no matter how high your master's official position is, this old woman has a way to ruin his reputation."

"Alright, I hope you keep your word, otherwise we have plenty of ways to make things difficult for you. Also, old lady, let me remind you, don't think that just because you have dirt on my master, he will be afraid of you."

The masked man in black warned the deaf old woman, opened the door, and climbed over the wall.

Seeing this, Wang Feng instantly jumped over the wall and carefully followed the masked man in black.

The masked man in black was very cautious, glancing back every now and then to see if anyone was following him, but Wang Feng skillfully evaded him each time.

The masked man in black led Wang Feng through a long, winding road. After confirming that no one was following them, they ran for another half hour before arriving at a courtyard house in Mao'er Hutong. They then climbed over the wall and jumped inside.

Wang Feng considered whether he should go in and take a look, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy.

I overheard the masked man in black talking to the deaf old woman. It seemed that the old woman knew about some hidden treasure, and the masked man's master demanded that she hand it over. However, the old woman wanted to leave the treasure to her son, which is why she had been delaying until now.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Wang Feng decided not to go in yet. He already knew the location of the masked men in black, and what if he went in and found dozens of heavy weapons pointed at him?

Although he can now use his spatial storage to collect bullets, it's not absolutely safe. His spatial portal can only block bullets from one direction. If the enemy attacks him from all directions, he's helpless.

As Wang Feng was pondering, a jeep drove up from a distance and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard house.

Soon, a young man dressed in a Zhongshan suit got into the jeep.

Upon seeing this young man, Wang Feng was certain that he was the masked man in black from earlier.

"Should we pursue them?"

After only a moment's thought, Wang Feng decided to chase after him to see what was going on. The masked man in black must have gone to see his master, and the person who could pick him up in a jeep was probably at least a department-level cadre.

The master of the masked man in black must be his enemy, because he also wants the deaf old woman's treasure.

The jeep was going at a moderate speed, probably around 30 km/h, and Wang Feng easily followed.

Along the way, Wang Feng avoided the three joint defense teams and kept close to the jeep.

Twenty minutes later, the jeep drove into a government compound.

Armed guards stood watch in the government compound, so Wang Feng couldn't get in. He just glanced at it from a distance, memorized its location, and then ran back to Nanluoguxiang.
