Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's angry expression, Tan Yali quickly took her small hand and whispered:

"My dear daughter, you're your parents' good daughter. That's not what your dad meant. What your dad meant was, if Wang Feng has any more of this kind of wine in the future, please try to get a couple more bottles, considering how much your dad and I love you."

Lou Bancheng nodded emphatically: "Yes, yes, son, that's what your dad meant."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "Mom and Dad, Brother Feng really doesn't have any more of this wine. If Brother Feng manages to get his hands on some more in the future, I'll ask him to give you a few more bottles."

"Hehe, son, you said it yourself. This wine is truly amazing. Your dad drank an ounce yesterday, and today the pain in his knees has lessened by half. He also feels much better than before. Son, whether your parents can live a long and healthy life depends on you!" Lou Bancheng said with emotion.

"Yes, Mom and Dad, I will try my best to help you if I have the chance. Don't ask too many questions. Right now, even if you force me, I can't afford it."

"Dad, give me a bicycle ticket. Brother Wang Feng wants me to buy a bicycle so it will be more convenient for me to get around in the future."

"Okay, you wait."

Lou Bancheng took a bicycle ticket from the drawer and handed it to Lou Xiao'e.

Taking the bicycle ticket, Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Dad, I'll go buy the bicycle now. When I get back, you can teach me how to ride it."

Lou Bancheng laughed heartily, and to please his obedient daughter, he said directly:

"Son, let Dad go with you. You can't ride a bike now, do you want me to push it back?"

"Hehe, thank you, Dad."

......

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Feng had been at the bottom of the moat for more than five hours. He had already collected all the water from the fifty acres of fishponds, and even found thirteen catties of gold.

However, thirteen catties of gold no longer excited Wang Feng, since he still had more than four thousand catties of gold in his space.

He searched for another three kilometers along the moat and only found this much, which made him not want to come back to the moat to search for treasure anymore.

After getting ashore and changing his clothes, Wang Feng rode his bicycle back to courtyard number 28.

The gate to the courtyard was not closed, and Wang Feng walked straight in.

As soon as Wang Feng entered the courtyard, he saw that in addition to Yangshi Lei, there were seven or eight uncles who were busy at work. Some were laying pipes, some were painting the walls, and among them was the young man who had opened the door for him in the morning. He was mixing cement and was sweating profusely.

"Master, you've arrived." Yangshi Lei greeted Wang Feng with a smile.

Wang Feng smiled and nodded, then took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Yang Shilei, saying:

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Lei. Please distribute this pack of cigarettes to everyone."

Without any hesitation, Yangshi Lei accepted the cigarette and said with a smile, "Thank you, boss. Don't worry, with me overseeing things, I guarantee your yard will be both beautiful and sturdy."

"Hehe, thank you, Master Lei. You guys go ahead with your work, I'll be going now."

"Alright, take care, boss."

After leaving courtyard number 28, Wang Feng rode his bicycle towards courtyard number 95.

Upon entering the front yard, I didn't see Yan Fugui, but I did see Yan Jiekuang.

Wang Feng ignored Yan Jiekuang and was about to return to the Intermediate People's Court when Yan Jiekuang stopped him.

"Brother Wang, that country bumpkin who came to see you last time is here again today. When he came this morning, neither you nor your wife were home. He asked me to tell you to go to Lujia Village when you have time."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng smiled and nodded, then took out a White Rabbit milk candy and placed it in Yan Jiekuang's hand.

"Thanks for the mining. You can have this White Rabbit candy."

"Hehe, thanks, Brother Wang."

Yan Jiekuang didn't tell Qin Jingru about this. Instead, he waited for Wang Feng to come back before telling him. He knew that Wang Feng would give him a benefit. And look, he got a White Rabbit milk candy.

When Wang Feng returned to the Intermediate People's Court, Qin Jingru greeted him.

"Brother Wang Feng, you're back! Did the contractor go to renovate our little courtyard today?"

"Yes, it's already under renovation, and it should be finished in two or three days."

"Hehe, that's great! With a house with its own yard, things will be much more convenient for us from now on," Qin Jingru said happily.

After pouring Wang Feng a cup of tea, Qin Jingru asked, "Brother Wang Feng, why did you bring that bathtub and that big iron pot back again? Didn't you say you were going to order another one? Isn't it a hassle to move them back and forth like this?"

"We don't need it there for the time being, and the custom-made one will take two days to complete. If I don't move it back, how will we take a shower for the next couple of days?"

When Wang Feng went to order the large bathtub and large iron pot this morning, he had to pass by No. 95 Courtyard, so he brought the bathtub and iron pot over with him. Anyway, he had space, and he didn't need to carry them himself. He had taken the bathtub and iron pot with him yesterday to store them in his space, so it was convenient.

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

Qin Jingru didn't ask any further questions about such a trivial matter.

......

Late at night, in the central courtyard, at the Yi family's residence.

Yi Zhonghai quietly got dressed. Seeing that the old woman was still asleep, he picked up his tools, opened the door, and headed towards the backyard.

He was very excited. The old lady had been missing for three days, and he had arranged for Sha Zhu and the others to search for her. He had even reported her missing to the police, making a big show of it.

The old lady hasn't returned for three days, and there's been no news of her whatsoever. Even the police station hasn't sent any word. It seems she's not coming back, or she may have already died outside.

In this way, wouldn't the old lady's big and small yellow croakers, and even the old lady's house, all belong to him?

Upon arriving at the backyard, Yi Zhonghai found it quiet and the old lady's door tightly shut. He quickly took out his tools and pried open the lock in no time.

He closed the door, took out a flashlight, and began rummaging through the old deaf woman's house.

He dared not turn on the light, in case someone went to the toilet at that moment and saw that the old lady's house was lit up, it would be troublesome if they came up to check.

I searched for a long time, turning the cabinets and bed upside down, but I couldn't find any croakers, let alone a single penny.

He did find two yellowed slips of paper, and when he opened one of them, he discovered it was a prescription.

The prescription read "Decoction for Extinction of Offspring." After carefully examining the contents of the prescription, Yi Zhonghai smiled.

This was a prescription that Jia Dongxu got from the old lady before he got married. He bought it for Jia Dongxu to drink. At the time, he lied to Jia Dongxu, saying it was to nourish his body. His purpose was to make him unable to have children and to raise a son for him.

He opened another yellowed sheet of paper, on which was written "[Infertility-Suppressing Decoction]". Upon seeing the contents of the prescription, Yi Zhonghai muttered in disbelief, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The herbs on the "Fertility-Breaking Soup" were the same ones he drank himself. The old lady said that drinking this medicine would enhance his fertility and told him to buy the herbs from two different Chinese medicine shops.

He had been taking care of the old lady for years and had no suspicions about her. She actually wanted to harm him at that time, which was to make him childless!

"what!"

Yi Zhonghai screamed wildly in his heart, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his body bulged.

He never imagined that the old lady had been plotting against him for ten years, making him drink the "soup that would kill his fertility"? Who exactly is that Bang Geng's son?
