Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

At this moment, Yu Li and Zhou Feng, who were chatting and laughing, and Yan Jiecheng, who was gagged and had his hands tied like a pig to be slaughtered for the New Year, formed a bizarre scene.

Back in the courtyard, the third aunt was picking vegetables in the front yard when she saw Yu Li and Zhou Feng coming in and out together, and she was immediately taken aback.

"How did you two end up together?"

The auntie was clearly asking why the two of them had come back together, but when Yu Li heard this, she suddenly felt guilty and involuntarily looked away.

"Ah, we ran into each other outside."

Zhou Feng didn't care, but when he glanced at Yu Li beside him, he was speechless.

Hey lady, why are you blushing?

We just bumped into each other on the street and then went home together, didn't we?

Your expression makes it seem like something's going on between us!

The older woman was, after all, quite old, and had seen far more than the younger generation. After scanning the two men's faces, she had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

I just never expected it to be my own daughter-in-law…

It makes sense, she met such an outstanding man as Zhou Feng, who could arrange a job for her, had such a mysterious identity, and possessed such an extraordinary temperament.

Compared to her own Yan Jiecheng, even if he were her own son, she didn't think there was any comparison.

If she were 30 years younger, she would be eager to pursue her!

That's understandable... my ass!

You are my Yan family's daughter-in-law, so be clear about your identity, okay?

If this happened in the old society, he would have been thrown into a pig cage and drowned!

Seeing the three women's constantly changing expressions, Zhou Feng roughly knew that they had misunderstood, but there was no need to explain.

After saying hello, he turned and walked towards his front door.

Before I had taken two steps, I heard a series of hurried footsteps behind me.

An older woman from the next courtyard came running in from outside, panting, and grabbed the hand of the third older woman as soon as she saw her.

"Sister-in-law Yan, something terrible has happened! You'd better go to the school and bring your husband back!"

"Wha...what's wrong?"

The three women were taken aback by her, and Yu Li also turned to look in their direction.

Zhou Feng, who had already reached his doorstep, naturally turned back immediately.

Going home is nowhere as fun as watching a lively scene.

The middle-aged woman, who had been stared at by the three men, swallowed hard and took a deep breath to catch her breath. "You... your Yan Jiecheng was just arrested on the street! Many of us saw it. They looked like plainclothes officers, they had identification!"

"what?"

The three women's eyes widened immediately.

Yu Li and Zhou Feng exchanged a glance.

Could what they just heard on the street have been the sound of plainclothes officers arresting Yan Jiecheng?

That's just too outrageous!

When the three women heard this news, their first reaction was, "Has my husband Yan Jiecheng gotten into trouble again?"

But noticing the interaction between Yu Li and Zhou Feng, her heart skipped a beat.

Could this be Zhou Fengqian's doing?

Aren't Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, and Yi Zhonghai, who offended Zhou Feng before, living examples?

Yan Jiecheng hasn't seemed to be giving Zhou Feng a pleasant look lately, and he's been saying a lot of bad things about him behind his back.

Zhou Feng and Yu Li are still so close, having these kinds of interactions...

Could it be that he really had Yan Jiecheng arrested so that Yan Jiecheng wouldn't get in his way?

Zhou Feng's lips twitched slightly.

He now understood why the progress of the double-door crossing had increased slightly; it turned out that the one who had been captured was Yan Jiecheng!

But this has nothing to do with him!

The old woman who came in to deliver the news looked left and right; the atmosphere in the courtyard was a bit eerie.

Why don't the mother and daughter-in-law seem very worried when they hear that Yan Jiecheng has been arrested?

"Sister-in-law Yan, it's true. Many people in our alley saw it. Why don't you go find Old Yan and bring him back?"

Seeing that they didn't react, the woman thought that none of them believed what she said, so she quickly repeated herself.

Sensing the strange look from the third aunt, Zhou Feng simply waved his hand and said, "Third Aunt, why are you looking at me? You should go find Third Uncle instead."

With that, he opened the door and went back into his room.

He wouldn't get involved in this mess. Who knows if Yan Jiecheng got caught for forging documents again?

Seeing Zhou Feng return to his room, and with the Third Aunt turning her gaze back to her, Yu Li helplessly spread her hands: "Mom, I don't know what happened either. Why don't you go to the school?"

As she spoke, Yu Li returned to her family's back room in the outer courtyard.

To be honest, she felt much more comfortable in the room without Yan Jiecheng.

The three older women looked left and right, still feeling somewhat bewildered. The older woman who had come in from outside seemed to have figured something out as well, and left the courtyard immediately.

She had already done more than enough by simply informing Auntie San; she dared not get involved in anything else.

Zhou Feng's name was famous throughout Beiping. During the New Year, every household that ate chicken remembered Zhou Feng's kindness.

Even if she loved watching the drama unfold, she didn't dare to grumble at Zhou Feng, much less provoke him!

To put it bluntly, given Zhou Feng's current status and how highly regarded he is, it's an honor for them to live in this courtyard house.

The three women didn't say much and hurriedly ran outside.

Whether it was Zhou Feng who took action or Yan Jiecheng who made a mistake, such a big matter required Old Yan to be called back.

Not long after he got home, Bai Ling appeared at his door.

Bai Ling's expression also became somewhat unnatural at this moment.

Although Zhou Feng appeared to be busy exchanging resources between the two worlds, it was clear that he had been focusing most of his energy on the future world during this period.

Even in the courtyard world, he would occasionally look at that black box with a strange smile on his face.

She knew that smile very well.

She had this expression on her face when she first met Zhou Feng!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng is now in the same situation, but the person he's with isn't her.

Zhou Feng underestimated Bai Ling.

Although he had been careful not to let Bai Ling touch the phone, after spending so much time together, Bai Ling had long since discovered that his "black box" was a channel connecting her to the future society.

So... are my opponents people from the future society?

After sorting out her thoughts, Bai Ling opened the door and went inside, where Zhou Feng greeted her with a big smile.

"Oh my, the busy man is back!"

Having two girlfriends in two different worlds isn't exactly a violation of public order and good morals.

However, upon seeing Bai Ling, Zhou Feng inexplicably felt guilty and even took the initiative to hug her.

Experienced people know that when someone does something wrong, they will instinctively be more friendly to the person affected, and Zhou Feng is no exception.

Bai Ling didn't speak, but there was a hint of doubt in her eyes as she looked at Zhou Feng, which he immediately noticed.

"Hehehe, I've been so busy lately, just trying to make a living, it's not easy! If only I had a fair-skinned, beautiful, rich older sister to take care of me!"

As he spoke, Zhou Feng raised an eyebrow at Bai Ling, whose expression instantly changed.

"Comrade Zhou Feng! Your thinking is problematic. In our Dragon Kingdom now..."

Good grief, I've gotten so used to being cheeky with Tao Muyao that I forgot I'm facing Comrade Bai Ling right now.

Some of these words might be considered jokes in later generations, but in this era they would be considered blatantly reactionary!

The nature of this is extremely serious. It is an open yearning for and reliance on the bourgeoisie, standing on the opposite side of the proletariat. It is a serious political problem of unstable stance and reactionary thinking.

That's because Zhou Feng's status and importance are undeniable!

If it were anyone else, Bai Ling would have labeled him a class enemy!

At that time, they will not only be publicly criticized and struggled against, but may even face imprisonment.

Listening to Bai Ling's constant lectures and corrections, Zhou Feng chuckled awkwardly a few times.

In terms of ideological level, he, a person from later generations, really couldn't compare with a progressive young person like Bai Ling.

"Um... have you eaten? I'll get you something to eat? I brought back some new beef and chicken thighs this time, they'll definitely taste different!"

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.

Although the semi-finished products sold in the market all taste pretty much the same, it can't be denied that they have Zhou Feng's connections!

Just ask a chef to prepare marinated meat for him, and he can just put it in the oven or air fryer to bake!

These are all the chefs' exclusive recipes. Zhou Feng had already tried them in the future world, and they tasted absolutely amazing.

It's perfect timing to use Bai Ling's flowers to present to Buddha.

"Alright, go ahead and do it."

Bai Ling sat down to one side, somewhat uninterested.

To be honest, a person's energy is indeed limited. After deducting the time spent trading for the two worlds' Dragon Kingdoms, Zhou Feng didn't have much energy left.

Because he had just confirmed his relationship with Tao Muyao, the two of them interacted very frequently, which inevitably led to Bai Ling being neglected.

Furthermore, the longer people spend together, the more conflicts arise between the two generations, both in terms of lifestyle habits and attitudes.

Although Bai Ling had been trying to adapt to Zhou Feng, she still felt somewhat awkward.

Watching Zhou Feng happily busy himself, she pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.

After the two finished eating, Zhou Feng sneakily went to Bai Ling, who was washing the dishes, and gently poked her twice with his finger: "You've been busy for so long, haven't been back for ages, let's rest together today?"

It has to be said that, given the opportunity, anyone has the potential to be a scumbag.

This guy spent a week in the modern world being all lovey-dovey with Tao Muyao, and now he wants to sleep with Bai Ling as soon as he gets back. He's really shameless.

"Forget it, I have something to do. We'll talk about it later."

Bai Ling simply turned to the side to avoid his hand that was trying to put its arm around her waist, and gave him a disgruntled look.

It's obvious that this guy's feelings for her aren't so pure anymore; something else must have happened in these seven days.

Although Bai Ling had a strong liking for Zhou Feng, and had even crossed her own bottom line by sleeping with him, she still had feelings for him.

But this doesn't mean she will unconditionally accept all of Zhou Feng's actions; at least for now, she doesn't want any intimate contact with Zhou Feng.

Let's talk things out when we're ready to discuss it further!

"Why?"

Before Zhou Feng could continue to pester her, Bai Ling had already opened the door and walked out gracefully.

Speechless, Zhou Feng could only lie back down on the bed. A voice came from his phone: "Timi..."

"Wagh! Jungler, are you even playing with your feet? You got solo-killed three times and you still come to feed in the bot lane? I'll fucking kill you..."

Zhou Feng, who was already in a bad mood, used the most polite language he could muster.

There's no other way. My other account was just unbanned, and if I ban it again, I won't have any accounts to speak on.

Just as he was still cursing, there was another knock on the door.

Who is it?

Zhou Feng asked in an annoyed tone.

It definitely wasn't Bai Ling, because if it were her, she wouldn't need to knock; she could just come in.

As for the others, apart from the fair-skinned and soft-spoken Bai Ling, Zhou Feng didn't want to talk to anyone else!

"Comrade Zhou Feng, it's me, Yan Bugui!"

The third uncle was so worried that his hair was almost white.

Although Yan Jiecheng was useless and only knew how to stay at home, at least he didn't cause trouble!

Since the Lunar New Year was approaching, they've been constantly trying to sow discord between him and others.

It was already embarrassing enough that he was being humiliated by being circled around the neighborhood office, but now he's been arrested in public by plainclothes officers in hats!

As for the three aunts' mysterious talk about the possible problems between Yu Li and Zhou Feng, Yan Bugui didn't take it to heart at all.

Isn't that utter nonsense?

Zhou Feng's girlfriend, Comrade Bai Ling, is good-looking, young, and has a high status. She is still a virgin. How could Zhou Feng possibly be interested in their already married daughter-in-law?

A married woman is never as good as a young maiden.

Although Yan Bugui guessed the ending by accident, and the two really didn't have any relationship, if Zhou Feng knew his thoughts, he would still have to correct him.

Young girls have their advantages, and married women have their charms; it's not a simple matter to generalize.

Hearing Yan Bugui knocking on the door, Zhou Feng reluctantly tossed his phone aside and went to open the door.

Yan Bugui was wiping the sweat from his forehead when he saw Zhou Feng, and he quickly lowered his posture.

"Comrade Zhou Feng, my son Jie Cheng was arrested on the street today. Are you aware of this?"

"I know."

Zhou Feng's calm reply made Yan Bugui's small eyes widen in surprise.

Could it be that his son really offended him, which led to this disaster?

It's still Yu Li...

Before Yan Bugui could continue his divergent thinking, Zhou Feng impatiently added, "I was in the yard when the neighbors next door told Auntie about it today, and I heard it all clearly, so of course I know."

call--

Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Thankfully, it wasn't what he had feared. If his son had really clashed with Zhou Feng and been arrested...

He had no choice but to give up on solving the problem; he couldn't let himself be dragged down with him!

Without him as a source of income, how will his wife and three other children survive?

"You know, that's good. I just wanted to ask if you could help me with this family matter..."

"No, I can't help you. I'm sorry, sir, I can't speak with the police station. You'd better ask someone else!"

Normally, Zhou Feng might have been polite to Yan Bugui, since the three young men in the Yan family were usually quite respectful to him and didn't have many ulterior motives.

But now he has just lost a soft, fragrant sleeping partner and has unfortunately lost a battle in the Rift, so he is in a bad mood.

The words were spoken without any hint of politeness.
