Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Yi Zhonghai collapsed to the ground, completely bewildered, his mind preoccupied with the question of whose son Bang Geng was.

He thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an idea.

Bang Geng's hair was a bit curly, which was similar to his. He never doubted Bang Geng, but as Bang Geng grew older, apart from his curly hair, there was nothing about him that resembled his.

"No, no, I'll take the prescription to the pharmacy tomorrow and ask."

Coming to his senses, Yi Zhonghai put away the prescription and continued searching for large yellow croakers at the deaf old woman's house.

When he moved the deaf old lady's bed and saw that the floor tiles under the bed had been pried open, he quickly grabbed his tools and pried the tiles open in a few strokes.

The hidden compartment under the floor tiles was clearly used to store boxes. He had seen the deaf old lady's box for storing large and small yellow croakers before, and it matched the size of the hidden compartment perfectly.

"No!"

Yi Zhonghai screamed inwardly, his eyes filled with resentment. The gold in the deaf old lady's house was his only hope, but where was there any gold left?

The deaf old lady had over 600 yuan and food coupons stolen from her. In other words, if the deaf old lady disappeared, he would get nothing, not even the house.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Yi Zhonghai roared inwardly and began searching carefully at the deaf old woman's house again.

I searched for more than two hours, but I still couldn't find a single hair.

Yi Zhonghai slumped to the ground and sat there for a full half hour before he had no choice but to accept reality.

After moving the deaf old woman's bed back to its original position and putting the other furniture back in its original place, and tidying up the clothes and quilts as before, Yi Zhonghai locked the door and walked back home in a daze.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

After eating ten steamed buns, Wang Feng said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, I'm going to the countryside to buy some supplies and go hunting today. I probably won't be back tonight, so you don't need to cook dinner for me."

"Brother Wang Feng, you usually go hunting and return in one day, why did it take so long this time?"

Qin Jingru put down the steamed bun in her hand and looked at Wang Feng with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, Jingru, it's like this, this time I went to the countryside to buy supplies, and by the time I finished hunting it was already dark. You know how difficult it is to walk at night, so I simply slept in the village for the night and went back to Beijing the next day," Wang Feng explained with a smile.

Wang Feng plans to go deeper into the mountains this time. There are still too few species in the space. It's too empty. If he doesn't catch more wild game for the space, wouldn't that be a waste of resources?

"Oh, Brother Wang Feng, then be careful."

"Okay, don't worry."

After finishing breakfast, it was only a little past seven in the morning when Wang Feng pushed his bicycle out the door.

the other side.

Jia Dongxu knocked on Yi Zhonghai's door and said, "Master, have you finished eating? It's time to go to work."

Yi Zhonghai opened the door and said to Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, I'm not feeling well today. Could you go to the workshop and ask for a day off for me?"

When Jia Dongxu saw Yi Zhonghai's haggard face and bloodshot eyes, he was startled and pretended to be worried, saying:

"Master, you don't look well. Are you sick? Why don't you go to the hospital first? I'll just tell the foreman in the workshop later."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand: "No need, I just need to rest for a bit."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai closed the door.

Jia Dongxu didn't think much of it and walked away, shaking his head.

When the older woman saw Yi Zhonghai, she was very worried, as she had never seen him look like this before.

"Old Yi, what's wrong with you? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"What are you looking at? I already said everything's fine!" Yi Zhonghai roared.

The middle-aged woman wiped away her tears, feeling wronged, and said, "Then you should eat something. How can your body keep going if you don't eat or drink?"

Yi Zhonghai ignored the old woman, opened the door, and walked out.

Arriving at a traditional Chinese medicine shop, Yi Zhonghai handed two prescriptions to an elderly doctor and asked:

"Dr. Li, could you please take a look at these two prescriptions for me?"

Doctor Li took the prescription, glanced at Yi Zhonghai carefully, and after a long while, finally asked:

"Comrade, where did you get this prescription?"

"Dr. Li, I found this prescription while sorting through my ancestors' belongings recently. Could you please take a look? The prescription says 'Decoction for Cutting Off Children' and 'Decoction for Curing Offspring.' Will these medicines really be effective?"

Doctor Li nodded emphatically: "Although the two prescriptions use different medicines, they are both medicines that cause male infertility. If women take them, they will also become infertile. One or two doses of this medicine are fine, but if you take too much, both men and women will become infertile. There are no other effects. This kind of prescription usually comes from the palace. I suppose your ancestors were people in the palace."

"Thank you, Dr. Li."

Yi Zhonghai thanked Li Dafa, took the prescription, and left the Chinese medicine shop.

Upon arriving at another traditional Chinese medicine shop, Yi Zhonghai showed the two prescriptions to another elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor. The doctor's explanation was almost identical to that of Dr. Li.

Holding the prescription, Yi Zhonghai walked home like a zombie, utterly despondent. He was now completely disheartened and had lost all hope.

Bang Geng is neither his son nor Jia Dongxu's son, so whose son is he?

"You old bastard, it's you who ruined me! I want you dead, I want you dead!"

Yi Zhonghai's face twisted in pain as he roared inwardly, wishing he could tear the deaf old woman to pieces.

Unfortunately, the deaf old woman disappeared, and he lost even the chance to take revenge. What a tragedy!

"No... the deaf old woman is gone, but Qin Huairu is still here. She lied to me. Yes, yes, I'm going to get revenge on Qin Huairu. I'll make her wish she were dead!"

Back in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and thought about how to take revenge on Qin Huairu.

......

at the same time.

Wang Feng rode his bicycle for three hours and finally arrived at Lujia Village.

Upon arriving at the village chief's house, Wang Feng approached the chief, offered him a cigarette, and cut straight to the point:

"Uncle Lu, did you find what I was looking for?"

The old village chief took the cigarette, lit it, and nodded with a smile: "This time we found apple, pear, peach and grape saplings. Now we have these four kinds of fruit tree saplings."

"We also found a tea tree seedling. It's a branch that was broken off from the best-tasting tea tree in Changping County. We also brought ten ducks, two males and eight females."

Wang Feng was overjoyed to hear that he had acquired so many things.

He had thought about buying some fruit so he could plant it, but fruit isn't so easy to buy these days. He hadn't seen any fruit for sale on the black market several times. Since the village chief could get it, why should he bother?

"Uncle Lu, I'll make up the cost for you this time. There are still 400 catties of sweet potatoes left over from last time, consider that a bonus for you."

The village chief held up one finger: "Ten yuan it is."

Without saying a word, Wang Feng pulled out a large black ten-yuan note and handed it to the village chief, saying:

"Uncle Lu, I also need some livestock offspring, pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, whatever you want, as many as you can get. Vegetable seeds, and scallions and garlic too. Oh, and please get me some ginseng seeds as well. Don't worry, Uncle Lu, I have plenty of sweet potatoes here."

"become."

The village chief had three sons, and each son had two daughters, making a total of twelve people in his family. When he heard that so many livestock and young animals were needed, he agreed without hesitation. After all, he had twelve people in his family to feed, and Wang Feng had given him too many sweet potatoes. Moreover, there was no risk involved. He would be a fool not to take such a good job.
