Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 506 The Silly Pillar Courtyard: The Fates of All the Birds in the Courtyard Changed Because

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

After Wang Feng and the other two finished breakfast, Qin Jingru went to work with Lu Banxia.

The cafeteria has just launched a "bitter memories and sweet taste" meal. Although it's Thursday and the meal isn't available today, she still has to go to the first and second cafeterias for teaching.

She tasted the "bitter memories and sweet memories" meals made in all three canteens yesterday. She provided on-site guidance for the third canteen, but she only taught the first and second canteens once, and the taste of their meals was not as good as the third canteen's.

As soon as Qin Jingru and Lu Banxia left, Wang Feng closed the door and entered the space.

Arriving at the 66-mu ginseng field, he saw one mu of ginseng that had reached about fifty years of age after he had watered it with diluted life-giving water for a long time. He smiled with satisfaction.

In a few more months, this acre of ginseng will reach a hundred years old, at which point he can make tiger bone ginseng wine.

Recently, he obtained the recipe for making tiger bone wine from Ninth Master. If he adds century-old ginseng and some water of life, the effects of this tiger bone ginseng wine should be very good.

After irrigating the ginseng field with diluted life water in the space, Wang Feng also fried about ten kilograms of tea leaves before leaving the space.

He checked the time and saw that it was almost ten o'clock, so he rode his bicycle to No. 28 courtyard.

After having lunch at Lou Xiao'e's place, Wang Feng went to Ninth Master's place to learn traditional Chinese medicine. His days were quite fulfilling.

......

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

When Wang Feng returned to Courtyard No. 95, he saw He Daqing as soon as he arrived at the gate. Behind He Daqing, there was also a janitor pulling Sha Zhu along.

He quickly pushed his bicycle to He Daqing, took out a Daqianmen cigarette, offered each of them a cigarette, and greeted them with a smile.

"Uncle He, Sha Zhu, you're back?"

He Daqing took the cigarette and smiled, "You're back."

When Sha Zhu saw that it was Wang Feng, he didn't give him a hard time. He took the cigarette, gave Wang Feng a forced smile, and that was his way of greeting him.

"Uncle He, how is Sha Zhu's injury? Can't he walk yet?" Wang Feng asked.

He Daqing sighed: "Shazhu just had surgery not long ago, and his wound hasn't fully healed yet. He needs to rest for another month or two before he can fully recover. Right now, Shazhu just needs to rest at home, so there's no need to spend money on hospitalization."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng nodded: "Uncle He is right. Now that you're back, it's more convenient to take care of me at home."

Wang Feng never expected that Sha Zhu would end up in such a terrible state. He Yushui had told him before that Sha Zhu had been discharged from the hospital, but on the way back, he was shot in the lung by bandits. Now, Sha Zhu was basically useless.

Forget about recreating the glory of the Courtyard War God; he'll be lucky if he can even find a job to make a living.

He Daqing paid the old man 50 cents, helped Sha Zhu up, and walked into the yard, with Wang Feng pushing his bicycle behind them.

"Hey, Sha Zhu's back."

He Daqing helped Shazhu and they had just arrived in the front yard when Yan Fugui, who was watering the flowers, saw them and quickly came over to greet them.

Sha Zhu forced a smile and nodded at Yan Fugui.

"Old He, come here, let me help you get Sha Zhu back."

Yan Fugui appeared very enthusiastic, putting his arm around Sha Zhu's shoulder, and together with He Daqing, they helped Sha Zhu walk towards the Intermediate People's Court.

He Daqing nodded: "Thanks, Lao Yan."

"Hey, we've been neighbors for decades, no need to thank me."

Yan Fugui smiled nonchalantly, appearing quite generous.

Wang Feng pushed the bicycle, and He Daqing, who hadn't asked him for help beforehand, could only follow behind them.

The staff at the compound haven't returned yet, but some of the elderly folks have seen Sha Zhu and He Daqing and have come over to greet them.

He Daqing responded with a smile to each of them. However, Sha Zhu's personality seemed to have changed a lot. When others greeted him, he would nod. He was much more polite than the imposing war god of the courtyard house before.

When Wang Feng returned to the Intermediate People's Court, he parked his bicycle and saw that the door to his house was open, so he knew that Qin Jingru had already returned.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Qin Jingru sitting inside, leisurely drinking tea.

"Brother Wang Feng, you're back."

When Qin Jingru saw Wang Feng, she quickly took off the backpack from Wang Feng's back and started pouring tea.

She got off work at four o'clock today, and it had been quite a while since she got back. She knew that Wang Feng usually came back at five o'clock in the afternoon, at the latest five-thirty, so she had already made tea in advance.

Wang Feng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Jingru, I just saw Shazhu come back. If nothing unexpected happens, our courtyard is going to get lively again."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru was somewhat surprised: "Brother Wang Feng, didn't Yu Shui say before that Sha Zhu wouldn't be able to be discharged from the hospital for at least another month? How come he's been discharged so soon?"

"Hehe, I just asked He Daqing, and he said that Sha Zhu can just rest at home and there's no need to spend money on hospitalization fees," Wang Feng explained with a smile.

"oh."

Wang Feng wondered to himself, now that Sha Zhu is back in the hospital, in what direction will the feud between him and Xu Damao develop? Will Sha Zhu die, or will Xu Damao perish?

He knew almost everything about the relationship between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, starting from the moment Xu Damao learned that he had become childless.

Xu Damao resented Sha Zhu for kicking him out of his family line, so he began to take revenge on Sha Zhu. Then, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year this year, when Xu Damao was showing a movie in the countryside for the first time this year, Sha Zhu stabbed Xu Damao in the kidney.

After that, it was Xu Damao who took revenge on Sha Zhu. This included the time Sha Zhu was stabbed in the kidney and shot in the lung by a bandit on the day he was discharged from the hospital. Others might not know these things, but Wang Feng knew them perfectly well. Even He Yushui didn't know as much as he did.

Actually, when you think about it, Sha Zhu also bears a large part of the responsibility for the feud between him and Xu Damao.

When Xu Damao was going to have a blind date with Lou Xiao'e, he used one of his classic tactics—slander—to prevent the date from going through with him.

If he hadn't told Lou Xiao'e that Xu Damao was most likely childless and had illicit affairs with many widows in the countryside, Xu Damao wouldn't have gone to the hospital for a checkup.

If Xu Damao doesn't get checked, there will naturally be no problem between him and Shazhu. Even if Xu Damao finds out later, who knows how many years it will be.

The catalyst for all of this was Wang Feng. In fact, many people in the courtyard, not just Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, had their original destinies altered because of him.

First, there was that deaf old woman, who was tortured to death by him. Then there was Yan Jiecheng, who became a eunuch because of him. The Yan family was robbed of their entire fortune by him. Liu Guangtian got a job several years ahead of schedule and has now separated from Liu Haizhong.

Yi Zhonghai also became penniless because he told He Yushui in advance about intercepting living expenses, and Sha Zhu broke off all ties with him.

Because of him, Jia Zhangshi was once sentenced to prison. As for Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu being hung on the wall in advance, and Banggeng being kidnapped by beggars, it is unknown whether he had any indirect connection with them.

"Brother Wang Feng, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Well."

Wang Feng snapped out of his reverie and gave an awkward laugh: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something."

"oh."
