Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

After climbing over the wall back into the courtyard, Wang Feng considered whether he should capture the deaf old woman and bring her into his spatial dimension to torture her and extract information about the treasure's whereabouts.

After considering it for a while, Wang Feng gave up on the idea.

The deaf old woman lives in the courtyard, so she can do whatever she wants whenever she wants; she can't escape anyway.

Furthermore, he has not yet ascertained the identity of the masked man in black.

He had a conflict with a deaf old woman not long ago, and there was also the death of his adoptive father. In addition, he was stabbed twice by robbers a few days ago. If others wanted to investigate these things, they could probably find out.

If the master of the masked man in black suspects that he killed the deaf old woman and obtained the treasure, then he will be in big trouble.

The owner of the masked man in black lives in a government compound and is probably at least a vice-ministerial level official. He doesn't have the power to oppose a ministerial-level official unless he leaves the country.

After much thought, the safest course of action is to thoroughly investigate the backgrounds of everyone in the government compound before making any further plans.

Thinking of this, Wang Feng smiled.

The deaf old woman is Princess Qing, so the treasure she mentioned, could it be Prince Qing's treasure? If so, then he'll be rich.

He would absolutely not let that old bastard go; he wanted to make the deaf old woman wish she were dead.

The deaf old woman was not only his father's killer, but she also tried to kill him twice.

Wang Feng cautiously approached the cellar and listened carefully.

Just after Wang Feng returned to the house, in Sha Zhu's cellar.

"Waaaaah, Zhonghai, I really can't go on like this anymore."

Yi Zhonghai gently patted Qin Huairu's back and comforted her, "Huairu, I know you're working very hard. Hang in there, it's all for our son, Banggeng."

"Waaah, Zhonghai, I really can't take it anymore. I have endless housework to do every day, and my mother-in-law either hits or scolds me every day. I can only eat a bowl of cornmeal porridge every day. I really can't take it anymore."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai felt a pang of sympathy and took out 30 yuan, handing it to Qin Huairu and saying, "Huairu, here's 30 yuan. Take it and buy food yourself whenever you're hungry. Just don't let Jia Zhangshi know."

"Also, I'll talk to Shazhu tomorrow and ask him to bring you two lunchboxes every day from now on."

Qin Huairu took the money, wiped away her tears, and said, "Zhonghai, how about I divorce Jia Dongxu and you marry me? I really can't stand Jia's family anymore."

"Nonsense."

"I'm a senior member of the family. If I divorce my own wife and then marry my apprentice's wife, how am I supposed to face people after that?" Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice.

"Alright, Huai Ru, just bear with it a little longer. Everything will be alright once the stalk grows up. Huai Ru, it's been so long since we've been intimate. Let me comfort you."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai began to grope Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu did not refuse. She now hated the Jia family to death. Since marrying into the Jia family, she had not had a single good day.

She now hates not only the Jia family, but also Yi Zhonghai. He keeps saying everything is for Bang Geng, but he's stingy with her, making her suffer a lot in the Jia family.

However, for the sake of the money in Yi Zhonghai's hands, she had no choice but to feign compliance.

Back in the house, Wang Feng thought about how to torture the deaf old woman later, maybe he could let her experience the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty.

Since we don't have any torture instruments, let's chop off her hands and feet, gouge out her eyes, and let her taste the pain of being branded with a hot iron.

The most important thing right now is to find out who that ministerial-level official is, and to arrest the deaf old woman.

But how can he investigate? He doesn't dare to go directly into the government compound. After thinking it over, the simplest way is to arrest the deaf old woman and torture her to extract a confession, but that would be too risky.

Forget it, let the deaf old man live a few more days. We'll deal with it when his abilities improve or when we really can't find anything.

He entered the space with his mind and saw that sweet potato vines had grown on the six acres of sweet potato fields, and he estimated that they would be ready for harvest in another week.

The sow in the pigpen has given birth to 5 wild boar piglets. The other wild boars have also grown a bit, but it's not very noticeable yet. There are now 21 wild boars in the pigpen.

The pheasant laid more than 90 eggs in the past two days, but he didn't plan to put them into the storage space. Maybe these eggs will hatch into chicks.

Wild rabbits reproduce the fastest, and they've already had six litters of baby rabbits, bringing the total number of rabbits to 62.

Seeing the somewhat crowded pigpen, Wang Feng widened it to half an acre.

"The space is still too small."

Wang Feng sighed inwardly.

Oh right, didn't we get dozens of yellow croakers of various sizes from the robbers before?

I wonder if this little bit of gold will be enough to upgrade the space.

With a thought, Wang Feng moved 21 small yellow croakers and 7 large yellow croakers into the planting space.

Under the control of his mind, the gold instantly turned into nothingness, and then a rumbling sound came from the space, which began to slowly expand outward.

The space expansion was very fast, taking only 5 minutes to complete.

Wang Feng surveyed the space and carefully calculated that the area had been expanded by approximately 5 acres.

His yellow croakers, both large and small, weighed a little over 5 jin in total. Does that mean one jin of gold can expand an acre of land?

Now that he had an extra 5 mu of land, he had much more room to maneuver, so he quickly planted sweet potatoes on the 5 mu and expanded the chicken coop and rabbit hutch.

After arranging everything, Wang Feng hugged Qin Jingru's teddy bear and fell into a deep sleep.

......

early morning.

Wang Feng woke up naturally, opened his eyes and looked at the time; it was already past 7 a.m.

"Brother Wang Feng, you're awake? Go wash up quickly, I've already steamed the buns."

After washing up, Wang Feng ate a steamed bun and said to Qin Jingru, "I've finished making the chicken coop and put it outside. After breakfast, I'll teach you how to ride a bicycle."

"Mmm, thank you, Brother Wang Feng." Qin Jingru finished her steamed bun and gave Wang Feng a sweet smile.

After finishing breakfast, it was already 8 o'clock. Everyone in the courtyard had already gone to work. Wang Feng pushed his bicycle out the door and waved to Qin Jingru.

"Jingru, sit down."

"Brother Wang Feng, I'm a little scared?" Qin Jingru said with some concern.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here to protect you."

"Um."

Qin Jingru mustered her courage, stepped on the pedal hard, and the bicycle started moving.

At first, she rode wobbly, but after a few laps, she gradually got the hang of it, and Wang Feng, seeing this, simply let go.

After riding a few more laps, Qin Jingru had basically mastered the skill, and she laughed happily at Wang Feng.

"Brother Wang Feng, I can ride a bicycle now! I can ride a bicycle!"

Standing at her doorstep, Qin Huairu saw Qin Jingru riding her bicycle with a look of envy and jealousy.

She also longed to ride a bicycle, but she was destined to be ridden by others.
