Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

5:15 PM.

People in the courtyard gradually returned home from get off work. Qin Jingru then picked up a piece of coal and waited at Aunt Wu's door.

As soon as Aunt Wu and Ya Ya returned, Qin Jingru greeted them with a smile.

"Aunt Wu, my family hasn't cooked for a week. I'd like to exchange some coal with you."

"Sister Jingru," Yaya called out sweetly.

Qin Jingru gently patted Ya Ya's head and smiled, saying, "Has Ya Ya been behaving well lately? Have you been listening to Mommy?"

"Sister Jingru, I'm such a good girl! I can even help Mom pick vegetables now!" Yaya said in a childish voice, clenching her little fists.

"Hmm, Ya Ya is so good."

Aunt Wu took the coal from Qin Jingru and asked in surprise, "Jingru, didn't you say last week that Wang Feng was going hunting in the deep mountains and that you were going back to the countryside to rest during your pregnancy? I thought you were going to give birth before you came back to the hospital. Why are you back so soon?"

"Hey, I heard from Brother Wang Feng that there aren't many prey left in the mountains. This time they didn't go deep into the mountains. Brother Wang Feng was worried about me in the countryside, so he brought me back," Qin Jingru explained with a smile.

"Oh, Jingru, wait here, I'll go get you some fresh coal right away."

As she spoke, Aunt Wu took out her key, opened the door, and went inside.

Soon, Aunt Wu brought over a burning coal briquette.

"Jingru, be careful. Next time you come to my house to exchange coal, don't bring new coal briquettes. You and Wang Feng have helped me so much, and you're still exchanging coal briquettes back and forth. What kind of nonsense is that?"

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Wu. I won't bring new coal briquettes next time. Aunt Wu, I need to start the fire again at home, so I'll head back now."

"Go."

Qin Jingru smiled sweetly, took the coal briquettes handed to her by Aunt Wu, and walked towards the Intermediate People's Court.

Back in the house, Lu Banxia took the coal briquettes and went to the kitchen to start a fire and cook.

the other side.

He Daqing returned to the courtyard and heard about Xu Damao's wife's pregnancy. He went home and immediately went to Shazhu, asking:

"Shazhu, have you heard? Xu Damao's wife is pregnant. Didn't you say before that you kicked Xu Damao out of the family line, and that you even borrowed 1500 yuan from Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady pulled some strings to save you from going to jail? So what's going on with Xu Damao's wife being pregnant? Did Li Sumei find someone to conceive her?"

Sha Zhu gave a bitter smile: "Dad, I guess Xu Damao wants to adopt a child. I've settled my score with Xu Damao now, and I don't want to get involved in his affairs or ask about them. Dad, just keep this to yourself, please don't tell anyone, okay?"

He Daqing glared at Sha Zhu: "Do you think I'm that kind of person? I was just asking casually, and you really think your father's a blabbermouth?"

Sha Zhu shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't want to talk anymore. If his father hadn't come to their door and said so many bad things about Qin Huairu to Qin Jingru's parents, Qin Huairu's parents wouldn't have come to their compound.

......

The front yard, the Yan family's house.

When Yan Jiecheng returned to the courtyard after get off work, he heard that Xu Damao's wife was pregnant. Looking at the burly Liu Yuhua, he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

Liu Yuhua returned to the house and, without speaking to Yan Jiecheng, went to steam white flour buns by herself.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng shook his head with a wry smile.

He and Liu Yuhua were husband and wife for only fifty seconds. After that, he became a eunuch. Now he eats sweet potatoes at home every day, while Liu Yuhua eats white flour steamed buns by herself. She can occasionally bring meat back from her parents' home, but he and his parents can only watch helplessly.

Before, after listening to his father, they thought that Liu Yuhua's father was a level 7 fitter, and her three older brothers were slaughtering pigs at the slaughterhouse. Liu Yuhua herself was also a level 3 fitter. They thought they could take advantage of her family. Now, not only did they not get any advantage, but they were also bullied by Liu Yuhua every day. The whole family was often scolded by Liu Yuhua, and they couldn't do anything about it. What kind of situation is this?

Why is his life so miserable? Why is it that Wang Feng can marry such a beautiful wife, who is also the head chef at the factory, and now she is pregnant with Wang Feng's child? Even Xu Damao's wife is pregnant, while he is destined to be childless for life?

He was unwilling to accept it, he was really unwilling to accept it!

All of this is because of Wang Feng. If Wang Feng had been willing to help him buy a workstation back then, he wouldn't have stolen Wang Feng's chickens.

All his tragedies began with stealing chickens.

If it weren't for the chicken theft, he would have married Yu Li long ago, wouldn't have met that fierce woman Liu Yuhua, and wouldn't have been kicked into eunuch status by Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu. All of this is Wang Feng's fault; Wang Feng ruined his life.

He hated it, he hated Wang Feng!

Yan Jiecheng's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and his fists were clenched tightly. He was living such a miserable life, he absolutely couldn't let Wang Feng have it easy.

But Wang Feng is the best fighter in the hospital. If he wants to take revenge, how can he do so?

As Yan Jiecheng pondered, a sinister glint appeared in his eyes. Since he couldn't get revenge on Wang Feng, he would target Qin Jingru instead. Wang Feng had ruined his life, and now he wanted a son? In his next life, perhaps?

Yan Jiecheng sat on the doorstep of his house, thinking about how to deal with Qin Jingru. He didn't even notice when his father came back from fishing.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Jia family.

Qin Huairu returned to the house and waved to Banggeng and Xiaodang: "Banggeng, Xiaodang, come here, Mom has something delicious for you."

Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Banggeng quickly picked up Xiaodang and rushed over, asking anxiously:

"Mom, what's delicious? Is it roast duck?"

Qin Huairu smiled and shook her head, took out three White Rabbit milk candies from her bag, put two in Banggeng's hand, and gave the last one to Xiaodang.

When Banggeng saw White Rabbit Creamy Candy, he excitedly shouted, "White Rabbit Creamy Candy! It's White Rabbit Creamy Candy!"

As he spoke, Banggeng couldn't wait to unwrap the candy wrapper, put the White Rabbit milk candy in his mouth, and carefully put the wrapper into his pocket.

Feeling the sweetness of the White Rabbit milk candy, Banggeng was very happy. He unwrapped the candy for Xiaodang and put the White Rabbit milk candy into Xiaodang's mouth. Banggeng excitedly said:

"Mom, is there any more? I want more! I want more!"
