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

When Bai Ling returned from outside, all the neighbors in the courtyard looked like they were pregnant, with one hand covering their stomach and the other supporting their waist as they walked quickly from the doorway.

She stood at the door for a while and noticed that the people who came out of the courtyard in a hurry were all running towards the public toilet.

"Have you seen our neighbors in this yard? What's wrong with them?"

When Bai Ling entered the room, she immediately noticed that Zhou Feng was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, playing on his phone.

Today is indeed a happy day, so Zhou Feng also had a few drinks and got a little tipsy.

Hearing Bai Ling's question, he smiled and shook his head: "What else could it be? I've eaten too much good food!"

You should know that Zhou Feng prepared plenty of ingredients for this banquet, fearing that people in this era had big appetites and there wouldn't be enough for everyone.

But in this situation, within just ten or twenty minutes, all the dishes on the table were cleared out by these neighbors.

Even after the people at the main table left, they didn't take the leftovers; instead, they took their bowls to the main table and ate all the leftovers.

How much can they eat?

Whether it's fatty or lean, pork or chicken, once it's on the table, men, women, and children gobble it up, their mouths greasy from eating.

Even if they can't eat anymore, they'll force themselves to eat a few more bites of meat, their mentality is even more intense than when eating at a buffet.

After all, these days there aren't many opportunities to eat such good food; it's good if you can come across it once every few years.

Given such an opportunity, they would eat voraciously, even if they couldn't finish, they would force themselves to swallow, feeling they were missing out if they ate too little.

It has to be said that their willpower is absolutely strong to be able to force themselves to swallow even when they are so full. It's just a pity that the body's reactions are difficult to suppress with willpower alone.

To put it bluntly, these people's brains control their mouths to eat, but their stomachs disagree, causing indigestion!

After eating bland, watery food for so many years, no one's stomach has much oil left. Suddenly eating so much meat, oily, and salty food, the intestines are sending out dissatisfaction signals.

As a result, most of the people in the courtyard couldn't take it anymore and kept running to the public toilet.

"Uh...so we fed them something that made them sick?"

Bai Ling stared wide-eyed at Zhou Feng in disbelief, but he just shrugged and said, "The food is right there. I didn't stop them from packing it up. They can't blame me if they get sick from eating it!"

"No, you..."

Bai Ling had just walked to the bedside, about to say something, when Zhou Feng grabbed her arm and pulled her inside.

"On such a nice day, why do you care about them?"

"Wait a minute, it's still daylight, outside... um..."

Zhou Feng considerately handed Bai Ling a handkerchief, since people were coming and going outside and neighbors were all rushing to the toilet, and it wouldn't be appropriate for them to find out.

Therefore, Bai Ling had to manually mute her microphone.

He pulled the blanket over himself, and then... (3526 words omitted)

Lou Xiao'e, who had just finished clearing away the dishes, was about to take the tableware back to Zhou Feng's room when Qin Jingru stopped her, saying, "Leave it at my sister's house for now, and we'll take it to Brother Zhou Feng tomorrow."

"Huh? Why don't we just take it over now?"

Lou Xiao'e didn't react for a moment; perhaps she hadn't spent enough time with Zhou Feng to know his habits.

Qin Jingru looked around, lowered her voice, and whispered in Lou Xiao'e's ear, "Sister Xiao'e, they should be..."

As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened, and she involuntarily swallowed: "What time is it? No...no way!"

"You wouldn't know that, would you?"

Qin Jingru patted her chest, speaking with the air of someone who'd been there before: "Let me tell you, Zhou Feng doesn't care when he's in the mood..."

"what?"

The two girls huddled together, chirping softly, occasionally letting out a gasp of surprise.

What are you saying?

Qin Huairu leaned over to look at her cousin and Lou Xiao'e.

"It's nothing, it's nothing!"

They heard it clearly: when Sha Zhu was arrested, Qin Huairu even tried to speak up for him.

Isn't that just going against Zhou Feng?

As Zhou Feng's "family," they could still distinguish between insiders and outsiders. Anyone who stood against Zhou Feng was an outsider, even Qin Jingru's cousin.

Qin Huairu was taken aback by their attitudes, but could only laugh awkwardly and continue with other things.

The reason why her family members were able to avoid stomach problems was that after Qin Jingru and Zhou Feng confirmed their relationship, she would bring back a lot of meat every day.

She was just a young girl and couldn't eat much, so the leftovers were all eaten by the Jia family.

If she offends Qin Jingru and it affects the Jia family's future welfare of eating leftovers, then her mother-in-law and son will not agree!

At this moment, Qin Huairu felt that she was the most insignificant person in the whole family.

Qin Jingru is like an emperor emeritus; no one can afford to offend her.

Whether Jia Zhangshi, who ruled from behind the curtain, distanced herself from Sha Zhu or eased relations with him, it was all her decision-making power.

The little emperor-like Bang Geng, aside from the offerings for the retired emperor, has to be given priority in everything else, including food, clothing, and daily necessities, and he also causes trouble from time to time.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua, the two princesses, had such a low profile that they couldn't even be considered part of the group, so she was the most humble one.

After washing the plates and bowls, Qin Huairu glanced at her cousin with some envy. The cousin was chatting and laughing with Lou Xiao'e, making Lou Xiao'e blush.

Although they were both girls from the countryside, when she married into the Jia family, everyone in the village thought she had moved to the city and found a good home.

But looking back now, life has become a complete mess.

On the other hand, my cousin seems to have no official status, but she has no worries about food and drink, receives dozens of yuan in pocket money, and wears new clothes.

She doesn't even deserve to be compared to her!

While Qin Huairu was wallowing in self-pity, Xu Damao in the backyard was directing all his resentment at Liu Haizhong.

When Li Huaide entered the courtyard, he originally wanted to go up and say something, but he didn't expect that Liu Haizhong would not only interrupt him, but also retort to him!

What gives this old guy the right?

If Xu Damao hadn't been so foolish as to try to go against a big shot like Zhou Feng, it would have been Xu Damao who got involved with Director Li!

That fringe is nothing!

"Why are you getting angry with that guy with bangs? He's a favorite of Director Li now, and he's a team leader. What if he brings people to arrest you?"

Yu Haitang's face showed a hint of nervousness.

Now that she has decided to try being with Xu Damao, she will naturally think more about him.

"Heh... he won't be a team leader for long."

A cold smile appeared on Xu Damao's lips.

Although he didn't want to admit it as Lou Xiao'e's ex-husband, he knew that since the Lou family had gotten in touch with Zhou Feng, Director Li would definitely take good care of them.

How could Liu Haizhong, who previously reported them and had them arrested, still feel at ease being his team leader?

This is a matter of taking sides and having a stance; it's certain that his bangs will be pulled down.

Xu Damao wanted to profit from this inevitable event.

Wasn't the reason I seized on the bangs all this time?
