Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Lou Xiao'e now felt completely weak and limp. For two and a half hours, she would have given up long ago if she hadn't tried her best to persevere.

"Brother Feng, I... my mom told me before that men usually only last a few minutes, how come you... are so amazing?"

Lou Xiao'e blushed and stammered as she asked.

"Haha, you silly goose, that's because your man isn't an ordinary man," Wang Feng laughed.

Lou Xiao'e gave Wang Feng a coquettish glare: "Brother Feng, you're still laughing? Look at the state I'm in now! I feel like I can't even get out of bed and walk. It's burning with pain. How am I going to go home later? Also, don't call me a silly goose."

Wang Feng laughed and said, "Wait, I have a plan."

As he spoke, Wang Feng pretended to open a cabinet, took out the Water of Life he had prepared beforehand from his spatial storage, handed it to Lou Xiao'e, and said:

"Drink this bottle of water, and I guarantee you'll be full of energy right away."

Wang Feng had given Lou Xiao'e the water of life a well-thought-out decision. Since Lou Xiao'e was willing to risk her life to protect him, the chances of her betraying him were almost zero, so there was nothing to worry about.

Furthermore, if he doesn't give her the Water of Life, given his current physical condition, Lou Xiao'e will die under his jack in less than a week.

Looking at the bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) filled with a bright green liquid, Lou Xiao'e didn't suspect that Wang Feng would harm her. She had already given herself to Wang Feng, so what was there to doubt?

Lou Xiao'e didn't ask any questions, but opened the bottle cap and drank it down in one gulp.

It has a slightly sweet taste, somewhat like sugar water.

Soon, a warm current flowed from her lower abdomen into her whole body, and Lou Xiao'e felt warm and comfortable all over.

Before long, the tearing pain in her wound gradually subsided, and in less than a minute, the pain completely disappeared. Moreover, she now felt full of strength.

She stared wide-eyed at Wang Feng, waiting for his explanation.

Wang Feng had long anticipated this outcome. Any normal person who had experienced such a wondrous thing would surely be curious.

"Son, this is the biggest secret of my Wang family. Now that you're a member of the Wang family, can you promise not to tell anyone? Not even your parents, or our family will be wiped out."

Upon hearing about the impending massacre of her entire family, Lou Xiao'e nodded heavily, then shook her head after a moment's thought, saying, "Brother Feng, it's better if you don't tell me."

"Hehe, now that you've become my woman, you're part of the Wang family. You need to know that."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e nodded firmly: "Brother Feng, go ahead and tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone."

Wang Feng smiled slightly and repeated the same words he had used to deceive Qin Jingru.

Lou Xiao'e found it increasingly mysterious as she listened. What secret recipe given by a Taoist priest, and what a "perfect tonic soup"? Was this some kind of novel?

However, the effects of this "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup" were indeed surprisingly good. Regardless of whether it was a Taoist or not, it was now the Wang family's secret recipe, and she was now a member of the Wang family. This was their family's biggest secret, and of course she wouldn't tell anyone.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Wang Feng and asked curiously, "Brother Feng, you said the cost of the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup is only one thousand yuan? That's too cheap!"

Wang Feng slapped his forehead. Qin Jingru felt that 1,000 yuan was too expensive, but the silly goose felt that 1,000 yuan was too cheap. This was really a mistake. He should have told her that the cost was 10,000 yuan, so that she wouldn't think that this thing was a common commodity.

"Son, don't think that a thousand dollars is cheap. Others might work hard their whole lives and not earn a thousand dollars. Besides, this Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup cannot be measured in money. Making the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup requires many precious medicinal herbs, which are very difficult to collect."

"Alright, son, pack up, we need to take you home. It's almost five o'clock, and your parents will start to worry if we're any later."

"Hehe, Brother Feng, now you should go meet my parents, right?"

Wang Feng nodded: "It's time to make things clear to them."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e happily put on her clothes and carefully put away the white brocade handkerchief that was placed on the bed, which was a symbol of her first time.

Wang Feng replaced the lock with a new one, handed the key to Lou Xiao'e, and rode his bicycle with Lou Xiao'e on the back towards the Lou family's small villa.

Upon arriving at the villa, Wang Feng parked his bicycle, and Lou Xiao'e, without any hesitation, took Wang Feng's arm and walked into the villa.

Seeing the two of them being so intimate, Lou Bancheng and Tan Yali were about to speak when Wang Feng interrupted them, saying:

"Mom and Dad, my son and I have officially started dating."

Upon hearing this, Lou Bancheng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"Haha, good, good, Wang Feng, I've always thought highly of you. I never expected you to end up with my son. Now that you'll be taking care of him, I can rest assured!"

Tan Yali grabbed Lou Xiao'e's hand, looking at Wang Feng with a big smile, completely satisfied.

Lou Xiao'e had been depressed every day during this time. She had known for a long time that Xiao'e had fallen in love with Wang Feng. She didn't want Xiao'e to continue like this. Now, the lovers have finally become a couple.

"Wang Feng, come on, let's have a good drink together today," Lou Bancheng laughed loudly.

Wang Feng smiled and nodded: "No problem, I'll have a good drink with Dad today."

Tan Yali led Lou Xiao'e to the kitchen, and in less than an hour, four dishes and a soup were served.

At the dinner table, Lou Bancheng took out a bottle of Fenjiu liquor, poured a glass for Wang Feng, then filled his own glass, and laughed loudly:

"Wang Feng, I wish you and Xiao'e a long and happy life together, and that you have a grandson soon so your mother and I can hold him."

Lou Xiao'e blushed and gave Lou Bancheng a playful glare: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Wang Feng picked up his wine glass and said, "Dad, this glass is for you. Thank you and Mom for your understanding and kindness. Don't worry, I promise I will never let my son suffer any injustice in this lifetime."

"Hahaha, good, good, Wang Feng, I know you're a doting husband. Come on, bottoms up!"

Lou Bancheng said "good" three times in a row, picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Wang Feng also downed his drink in one gulp. Just as Lou Bancheng was about to pour some more wine, Wang Feng snatched the bottle, poured him a glass, and then filled his own glass.

"Dad, this glass is a toast to you. Thank you for thinking so highly of me. I'll drink this glass in one go."

With that, Wang Feng downed another drink in one gulp.

Lou Bancheng finished his drink and said earnestly, "Wang Feng, do you know why I want Xiao'e to follow you? Even if it means becoming your concubine, I'd still rather she stay with you."

Wang Feng shook his head. He really didn't know this. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult for Lou Bancheng to find a suitable husband for the silly goose.

"Hehe, Wang Feng, don't laugh at me, but you know your father's background. He's a big capitalist. The reason I arranged for Xiao'e to go on a blind date with Xu Damao was to make Xiao'e neutralize our family's background. It was for the higher-ups to see."

"But Xu Damao is a bad person. After an investigation some time ago, it was found that he had illicit affairs with many widows in the countryside. Moreover, he is infertile, so Xiao'e should not marry him."

"Although Xiao'e is with you without any official status, you are a good person, ambitious, capable, and treat your wife well. Most importantly, Xiao'e likes you."

"After listening to what you said last time, I knew that neutralizing the ingredients was useless. Rather than letting Xiao'e marry someone she doesn't like and suffer, it's better to find someone she likes. And apart from having a wife, I'm quite satisfied with you in every other aspect."
