Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

"Pfft."

Before Xu Damao could finish speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"You idiot, you're asking for it!"

Sha Zhu was furious and prepared to give Xu Damao a hard time.

"Silly Zhu, stop!"

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly tried to dissuade Sha Zhu, then looked at Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, you say you didn't spread rumors, do you have any evidence?"

"Uncle, that's not right. It was Sha Zhu who hit me because he said I was spreading rumors. You're asking me for evidence? Shouldn't you be asking Sha Zhu to provide evidence to prove that I'm the one spreading rumors?" Xu Damao said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, old man, it should be Sha Zhu who provides the evidence," someone below said.

"Yes, the evidence should be provided by Sha Zhu."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai gestured downwards and said to Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu, do you have any evidence to prove that Xu Damao fabricated this rumor?"

Sha Zhu snorted coldly: "I heard rumors at the factory this afternoon, and when I finally found Sister Hua, she said it originated from Xu Damao. Sha Mao, let's see how you deny it now!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai roared and slammed his hand on the table: "Xu Damao, what do you have to say now?"

"This... I didn't say that, I heard it from someone else."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

Xu Damao's eyes darted around, and he stammered a defense.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand: "Alright, Xu Damao, you have nothing to say now? You spread rumors about Sha Zhu, so it's only right that he beat you up. Let's just let this matter go. Everyone, please disperse."

"Wait a moment."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao with suspicion and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Uncle, even if this matter is over, what about when Sha Zhu hit me again and kicked me somewhere?" Xu Damao shouted.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao speechlessly: "We all heard you say that Shazhu is your son. That's an insult. Let me tell you, let alone Shazhu, I wanted to hit you just now."

"Yeah, Xu Damao, you'd better watch your mouth, or Sha Zhu will beat you up again next time."

"Yes, Xu Damao is good in every way, except for his mouth, which is too wicked."

"Alright, alright, that's enough. Everyone, disperse, disperse."

Seeing this, Xu Damao was helpless, but his gaze toward Shazhu grew even colder.

"Sir, wait a minute."

"What do you want now?" Yi Zhonghai asked, looking at Jia Zhangshi with suspicion.

Jia Zhangshi pointed at Xu Damao and shouted, "Uncle, Xu Damao's affair with Shazhu is over, but is my Huairu just going to let Xu Damao be wronged for nothing? He has to pay compensation, or I'll never let him off the hook!"

"That's right, Xu Damao, Sister Qin is innocent in this matter. You have to pay compensation, or I'll have to teach you a lesson." Sha Zhu said coldly.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Qin Huairu in the crowd.

Qin Huairu was already in tears, her face streaked with tears.

Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement and looked at Xu Damao, saying, "Xu Damao, you were indeed wrong in this matter. I've made the decision. You should compensate Qin Huairu with 20 yuan."

"No way, 20 yuan is not enough! You have to pay 50, no, you have to pay 100, otherwise I will come to your house to make trouble every day!" Jia Zhangshi shouted.

Xu Damao gritted his teeth so hard he almost broke them, and reluctantly pulled out 10 yuan and slammed it on the table.

"It's just 10 yuan, take it or leave it, or I'll call the police."

Just as Jia Zhangshi was about to speak, Yi Zhonghai interrupted her.

"Sister-in-law, that's fine."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai left.

Jia Zhangshi grabbed the 10 yuan, looking displeased, and muttered, "Xu Damao, you got off easy this time."

A hospital-wide meeting ended with Xu Damao being injured and ordered to pay compensation.

......

Back inside, Qin Jingru hugged Wang Feng's arm, laughing so hard she couldn't stop.

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, the people in your department are so much fun."

"Hehe, it's our department," Wang Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, our department."

Seeing Qin Jingru still looking cheerful, Wang Feng smiled and shook his head.

He went into another room, took an empty wine bottle from the cabinet, put in a pound of "water of life," and came to Qin Jingru, saying, "Drink."

Qin Jingru looked at Wang Feng in shock and asked, "Brother Wang Feng, is this the same kind of nourishing soup I drank last night?"

Wang Feng didn't speak, he just nodded.

"Brother Wang Feng, this...this is too precious, I can't bear to drink it. Why don't you sell it for money?"

Qin Jingru didn't take the bottle, but said with a pained expression.

A thousand yuan! That's a huge sum of money! The Qin family might not be able to save that much in their entire lives. And it's gone in one go. How could she not feel heartbroken?

She felt heartbroken for a long time yesterday when she heard that a bottle of water she drank cost a thousand yuan.

Wang Feng flicked Qin Jingru on the forehead: "Just drink it when I tell you to, stop with all the nonsense."

"Brother Wang Feng, I'll drink it, I'll drink it right now, don't be angry."

With that, Qin Jingru took the bottle and downed it in one gulp.

Feeling warm and full of energy again, Qin Jingru was overjoyed.

She knew that Wang Feng was making her drink with a stern face because he felt sorry for her.

Qin Jingru threw herself into Wang Feng's arms and said, moved, "Brother Wang Feng, you're so good to me."

Wang Feng smiled slightly, picked up Qin Jingru and carried her to the bed, and another physical battle began.

......

early morning.

Wang Feng got up very early today. After finishing breakfast, it was exactly eight o'clock. Wang Feng said to Qin Jingru:

"I won't be back for lunch. Just cook whatever you want to eat."

Qin Jingru handed a large sheet of oil paper to Wang Feng, saying with some concern:

"Yes, Brother Wang Feng, I know. You must be careful. I made more than a dozen extra steamed buns for you to take with you. You can take them out to eat if you get hungry at noon."

Wang Feng took the steamed bun, nodded to Qin Jingru, and pushed his bicycle out the door.

He lied to Qin Jingru about going hunting, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain the wild boar at the wedding banquet tomorrow.

There are currently four large wild boars in his space ranch. Two of them are sows, which are for breeding and definitely cannot be killed. The other one, a wild boar king weighing about 400 pounds, is intended to be kept for breeding and cannot be killed either.

Now there's only one wild boar weighing nearly 300 jin (150 kg) left to kill. Qin Family Village has about 500 people, roughly 70 or 80 households. If each family sends one person, and each table has 10 people, plus Qin Jingru's close relatives, a total of 10 tables should be enough.

Wang Feng planned to kill a wild boar, take out twenty catties of meat, take out a wolf, some pheasants and rabbits, and a few fish, so that he would have five meat dishes.

For staple food, let's use sweet potatoes. Right now, he doesn't have much of anything, but sweet potatoes are the most plentiful.

He currently has over 20,000 jin of sweet potatoes in his storage space. If the sweet potatoes mature in a few days, he estimates he can harvest around 50,000 jin. Adding that to the previous 20,000 jin, that's a total of 70,000 jin.
