Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The meal took more than half an hour, during which Wang Feng ate a total of 8 large bowls of rice and several kilograms of pork ribs.

There's hardly any meat on the ribs these days. Even though I cooked ten pounds of ribs tonight, there probably isn't even a pound of meat in those ribs.

Qin Jingru had a good appetite and ate two large bowls of rice tonight, leaving her mouth greasy.

After the meal, Qin Jingru thoughtfully made Wang Feng a cup of tea.

Wang Feng was very satisfied to see that Qin Jingru had done a great job with all the details. With such a wife, he could experience the comforts of an emperor when he came home.

He planned to test Qin Jingru; if she passed the test, he would give her the Water of Life.

Giving Qin Jingru the water of life was a decision he made after considering many factors.

Firstly, Qin Jingru's body was too weak, while his body was too strong. He could last for two and a half hours at a time, and Qin Jingru couldn't go on. She was the one who had to desperately persevere for those two and a half hours.

This made him very uncomfortable. Unless he didn't care whether Qin Jingru lived or died, but would he still be human?

To be honest, he still really likes Qin Jingru as a wife. Even if he changed wives, the situation would still be the same. There's nothing he can do about it; he's just too powerful now.

Thinking of this, he looked at Qin Jingru and asked, "Jingru, I have a question for you."

"Okay, Wang Feng, go ahead and ask."

After pondering for a moment, Wang Feng said, "Jingru, now that we're married, there are some things I don't want to hide from you anymore. But if outsiders find out, we'll be in deep trouble. I'm afraid you won't be able to resist telling your parents, and then they might accidentally leak it out. What should we do then?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru looked at Wang Feng with a serious expression.

"Brother Wang Feng, then don't tell me. I don't want to know your secrets. I just want to know that you're good to me. Don't worry, Brother Wang Feng, I won't be angry."

Wang Feng shook his head: "Since you're my wife, I have to tell you this."

"Brother Wang Feng, well... you can tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone, including my parents. You're my closest person now. I eat and drink well every day with Brother Wang Feng, and I don't have to work in the fields. I'm not stupid enough to ruin such a wonderful life," Qin Jingru said with a determined look.

Seeing Qin Jingru's determined look, Wang Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Judging from Qin Jingru's personality, she is definitely the kind of person who listens to her man the most, of course, this man must make sure she is well-fed and well-dressed.

Based on what he'd learned about Qin Jingru over the past few days, even if he had fallen out with her parents and had to choose between them, she would definitely choose him over her parents.

Qin Jingru is a naturally selfish person, much like him. With him, she can eat and drink well every day, but when she gets home, she has to work in the fields and can't even get enough to eat. Given this choice, unless she's stupid, she wouldn't choose her parents.

"Yes, Jingru, I believe you."

After saying that, Wang Feng went to another room, took out a clean empty wine bottle from the cabinet, filled it with a pound of "Water of Life", and then walked up to Qin Jingru and handed the empty wine bottle to her.

"Jingru, don't say anything, don't ask anything. Just finish the water in the bottle first, and then I'll explain to you."

Seeing Wang Feng's serious expression, Qin Jingru took the bottle and, without saying a word, gulped down the entire bottle of water.

At first, she thought it was alcohol and was prepared to get completely drunk. But when she drank it, it tasted sweet, a bit like sugar water.

"Brother Wang Feng, is this sugar water? Why is it green?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

"You'll find out soon enough."

As soon as Wang Feng finished speaking, Qin Jingru felt warm all over her body, which was very comfortable. At the same time, she felt full of energy and her whole body became much more energetic.

Seeing that Qin Jingru had reacted, Wang Feng explained, "Jingru, what I just gave you was a complete tonic soup. This prescription was given to me by a Taoist priest when I was a child. Drinking this medicine can improve your physique and greatly increase your strength. Don't you feel full of energy now?"

"Mmm, Brother Wang Feng, this medicine is amazing! I feel like I can easily take two doses of Jia Zhangshi now," Qin Jingru said with delight.

"Hehe, Jingru, this is our family's most important secret. You mustn't tell anyone, okay?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Feng continued his charade, "Jingru, look how miraculous our medicine is! What if others find out? Won't they try to steal it from us?"

Qin Jingru nodded firmly: "Brother Wang Feng, don't worry, I would never tell you, even if you killed me."

Then, Qin Jingru asked again, "Brother Wang Feng, this medicine must be very expensive, right?"

"Yes, the drink I gave you just now probably cost around a thousand yuan."

"Wow! So expensive? Brother Wang Feng, you're too kind to me!"

Qin Jingru looked at Wang Feng with emotion. If it weren't for the fact that this was the right time, she would have wanted to have a child with Wang Feng right now.

Seeing that Qin Jingru had been fooled, Wang Feng laughed and said, "Alright, go and prepare the hot water so you can take a bath and go to bed."

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

Before long, Qin Jingru had prepared hot water. She had started boiling the water in the afternoon, knowing that Wang Feng was going to take a bath today, so she had prepared it in advance.

"Brother Wang Feng, the hot water is ready. You go take a shower first, and I'll shower after you're done."

Wang Feng glanced at Qin Jingru. After drinking the Water of Life, Qin Jingru's skin was even whiter and more beautiful than before, but she hadn't looked in the mirror and didn't know it yet.

"Jingru, let's shower together. I'm all sweaty today, you can help me scrub my back while you're at it."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru's face flushed red instantly.

Seeing Qin Jingru standing there in a daze, Wang Feng coaxed her gently: "Jingru, you're my wife, what's there to be shy about? Come on, the water will get cold soon."

"Brother Wang Feng, I'm here."

Qin Jingru quickly realized that she was now Wang Feng's wife, so what was there that she couldn't do?

Besides, Wang Feng was so good to her, even giving her a bottle of the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup" that cost a thousand yuan. She could only repay Wang Feng with herself.

Entering the large bathtub and soaking in the hot water, Wang Feng felt incredibly comfortable.

With a blush on her face, Qin Jingru went to the bathroom, took off her clothes, and slowly entered the bathtub.

Looking at Qin Jingru's skin, which was as white as mutton fat, Wang Feng felt his blood rushing to his head. Fortunately, he had enough self-control and managed to suppress it.

"Jingru, give me a back rub first."

"Um."

Qin Jingru gave a soft "hmm" and reached out her small hand to rub Wang Feng's back.

Presumably due to the Water of Life, Qin Jingru rubbed his back with her small hands. Wang Feng felt that Qin Jingru's small hands were very soft, and it seemed that the calluses on Qin Jingru's hands had disappeared.

As Qin Jingru was rubbing his back, he unconsciously thought of the waterbed massage service of later generations. He used to be a poor and old bachelor who had only experienced this service a few times in his life.

"Jingru, your hands aren't soft enough. Use the softest part of your body to scrub my back."
