Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Hearing Wang Feng's words, Lou Xiao'e upstairs was furious.

She ran downstairs quickly and demanded sharply of Wang Feng, "Wang Feng, what do you mean?"

Seeing this, Lou Bancheng quickly smoothed things over, saying, "My son, don't be rude."

Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything more. Her fierce eyes seemed to want to devour Wang Feng, but there was no trace of ferocity on her delicate face.

"Wang Feng, it's normal for you to think this way. I'm the same as you. I can't cook either, and I don't like doing housework. I have to admit, marrying a hardworking and obedient wife from the countryside was the right choice for you," Lou Bancheng said.

"Hehe, Uncle Lou, I'm just used to being lazy," Wang Feng laughed.

Lou Bancheng nodded: "Since that's the case, I won't say any more. Wang Feng, you've done me a great favor today. Wait for me a moment, Uncle Lou has a gift for you."

Before Wang Feng could refuse, Lou Bancheng pulled Lou Xiao'e upstairs. A short while later, Lou Bancheng came down with a wooden box, but Lou Xiao'e did not come down.

"Uncle Lou, I was just saying. How could I really accept your gift?"

Wang Feng waved his hands repeatedly in refusal. He really didn't need it unless Lou Bancheng gave him a hundred catties of gold or jade, which was obviously impossible.

Lou Bancheng didn't say anything, but directly opened the wooden box and said:

"Wang Feng, these are the only properties I have left. I've already donated most of my properties, so now I only have about ten left. You can choose one yourself."

Wang Feng was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Lou Bancheng to give him a house. To be honest, he had been planning to buy a house recently.

After all, he still wanted to marry one or two more wives, how could he do that without his own courtyard?

There was no way around it; his sexual needs were just too strong, and Qin Jingru simply couldn't handle it, especially after she started her period, which made it even more unbearable for him.

"Uncle Lou, I'm actually planning to buy a house recently. Since you're so enthusiastic, I won't stand on ceremony," Wang Feng said with a smile.

Lou Bancheng waved his hand: "Take whatever you like. Compared to the help you gave me today, these are nothing."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng no longer stood on ceremony and directly took out all the house deeds to examine them.

These houses are scattered throughout the city, some with one courtyard, some with two or three courtyards, and some even with four courtyards.

Wang Feng didn't choose based on the size of the courtyard; he just wanted one that suited him and was as close as possible to courtyard number 95.

After looking around for a while, Wang Feng finally settled on a courtyard house with one entrance. This house was also in Nanluoguxiang, but it was number 28, which was only a six or seven-minute walk from number 95.

"Uncle Lou, I want this courtyard."

When Lou Bancheng saw that Wang Feng had only chosen a single-courtyard house, he thought even more highly of him and immediately nodded, saying:

"No problem. My former servant lives in this courtyard now, and it's registered under her name. You can just go to her and transfer the ownership. As for how to do it, I think you know, right?"

Wang Feng nodded. The current way to transfer ownership is simply to write an IOU, and if the homeowner can't pay it back, then the house is mortgaged to him.

After carefully putting away the property deed, Wang Feng stood up and said, "Thank you for the gift, Uncle Lou. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

"Wang Feng, why are you in such a hurry? I've already asked your aunt to prepare the meal. Let's have a nice drink at noon," Lou Bancheng said, trying to persuade him to stay.

"Uncle Lou, this time there's really something wrong, as Comrade Lou San knows. So, next time, I'll come over and have a good drink with you, Uncle Lou."

"Alright then, since you really have something to do, Uncle Lou won't keep you any longer. But we've agreed that next time you have time, remember to come over and have a drink with Uncle Lou."

"must."

After saying that, Wang Feng walked out of the Lou family's small Western-style building.

After Wang Feng left, Tan Yali and Lou Xiao'e came downstairs, but Lou Xiao'e's eyes were red, clearly she had just been crying.

Tan Yali gently patted Lou Xiao'e's head and comforted her, "Xiao'e, don't be sad. Wang Feng is right, you two are indeed not a good match."

"Think about it yourself. Wang Feng doesn't like cooking or doing laundry, and you can't cook either. What will you do if you two get together in the future? You can't eat out every day. Wang Feng has a wife who cooks for him every day, but what about you?"

Lou Bancheng glared at Tan Yali and said in a deep voice, "The reason our son is like this is because you spoiled him. Things are different now than before. As long as you have money, you can hire a nanny. Look at our son, he can't do housework. Even when he was Wang Feng's concubine, he was rejected. What do you think our son is going to do in the future?"

"I had someone check. Wang Feng married a girl from the countryside, and not only did he not mistreat her, he treated her exceptionally well. Just the second day after their marriage, he bought her a bicycle and a watch, and even threw a big banquet in her village. If he could treat my son that well, I would be relieved. What a pity, what a pity!"

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e ran upstairs feeling wronged. She closed the door, lay down on the bed, and started crying.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e go upstairs, Lou Bancheng let out another long sigh.

Based on his observations of Wang Feng today, he felt that Wang Feng was definitely not a simple person, as his knowledge and insight were exceptionally accurate.

Moreover, Wang Feng is quite capable; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to be promoted to deputy section chief in less than two months after joining the factory.

In terms of both appearance and ability, Wang Feng is far superior to Xu Damao. It's a pity that Wang Feng doesn't think much of his son; otherwise, he would be at ease having a son-in-law like Wang Feng.

......

the other side.

After leaving the Lou family, Wang Feng checked the time. It was only 11 o'clock, so he should still have time to make it to Lujia Village.

He rode his bicycle out of the city, rushing towards Changping, and finally arrived at Lujia Village before 2:30 pm.

He ate lunch on the way, which took twenty minutes; otherwise, he should have arrived by two o'clock.

For lunch, we had braised pork belly, and steamed buns were the main dish.

Last night, after Qin Jingru finished cooking the braised pork, he took the opportunity to store it in his spatial storage. It was still hot when he ate it at noon.

It has to be said that Qin Jingru's culinary talent is truly remarkable. It's unclear whether she naturally possessed such talent or if it was enhanced by the Water of Life. The braised pork she ate this time was even more delicious than the last time.

After riding his bicycle into Lujia Village, Wang Feng gave two Daqianmen cigarettes to the two militiamen and then went to the village chief's house.

"Wang Feng, you're here."

Upon seeing Wang Feng, the old village chief quickly greeted him with a smile.

Wang Feng handed over a Daqianmen cigarette and went straight to the point: "Uncle Lu, which livestock pups have you received?"

The village chief took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and then slowly said, "Four sheep, one male and three females; three cows, one male and two females; and six geese, one male and five females."

Upon hearing that there were four sheep, three cows, and six geese, Wang Feng was overjoyed, as this far exceeded his expectations.

"Uncle Lu, please take me to see him quickly."

"become."
