Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 224 Wang Feng is about to reveal the truth; Yi Zhonghai is in trouble.

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

Qin Jingru had just finished shoveling the snow in front of the door and washing the clothes. She and Wang Feng had just locked the door and were about to go out when Yan Fugui came looking for them.

Yan Fugui didn't waste any words. He took out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Wang Feng with a pained expression.

"Here's fifty yuan, Wang Feng, you count it."

Wang Feng didn't stand on ceremony and took the money directly. He counted it and saw that it was exactly fifty yuan, no more and no less. He nodded.

"That's right, it's fifty yuan. Old Yan, we'll be going now. By the way, Jingru and I won't be going to the banquet tomorrow at noon. You can give me half a jin of meat for our share, is that alright?"

Yan Fugui considered it for a moment and could only reluctantly agree. He had no choice; he dared not offend Wang Feng now. If he angered Wang Feng and he went directly to the police, it would be troublesome.

"Hehe, no problem, I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then we'll be going now."

"Hey, take care."

As the two walked out of courtyard number 95, Qin Jingru smiled and said, "Brother Wang Feng, I found it quite funny when I saw how distressed Yan Fugui looked."

"Hehe, Jingru, do you think half a pound of meat is a small amount? These days, half a pound of meat costs 1.2 yuan on the black market. With Yan Fugui's stingy nature, of course he'd be heartbroken," Wang Feng laughed.

"By the way, Jingru, Yan Fugui probably won't buy any good meat. When Yan Fugui brings the meat over tomorrow, you can give this half a pound of meat to Aunt Wu. Our family doesn't need this half a pound of meat."

"Okay, I understand."

"Okay, then you go to the factory quickly, I'll go to courtyard number 28 to keep Goose company."

"Goodbye, Brother Wang Feng. If there's no entertainment tonight, I'll head back to Courtyard No. 28 early."

"Okay, go ahead."

After the two parted ways, Wang Feng went to courtyard number 28 and caused trouble.

......

The day passed peacefully like this. Enticed by Yan Fugui's offer of a free meal, the people in the courtyard did not spread the word about Yan Jiecheng stealing chickens.

Early that morning, Yan Fugui knocked on Sha Zhu's door.

"Knock knock knock".

Who is it?

Sha Zhu opened the door and saw Yan Fugui. He said coldly, "Old Man Yan, what is it?"

Yan Fugui chuckled sheepishly, "Silly Zhu, didn't that old man say yesterday that he wanted you to cook for today's lunch banquet? I've already bought the ingredients, so I came to ask for your help."

Sha Zhu curled his lip and snorted coldly: "Old Man Yan, I'm only helping you with the banquet for free because of this old man. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with you if it weren't for ten yuan. Later, you can arrange for a few people to help me with things like washing and chopping vegetables."

"Oh right, Yushui is going back to the hospital later. Yushui also has to go for lunch. Also, I have to pack up our dinner for dinner."

Hearing that Sha Zhu also wanted to bring vegetables, Yan Fugui gritted his teeth and could only agree.

"Okay, no problem, I'll have your third aunt call someone right away."

Sha Zhu waved his hand impatiently: "Go ahead, go ahead, I'll be there after I finish breakfast."

"become."

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Jia family.

Qin Huairu was just about to make breakfast when she was stopped by Jia Zhangshi.

"Qin Huairu, you don't need to make breakfast today. Our whole family will go to a banquet together at noon. If we skip breakfast, we can eat more at noon on an empty stomach."

"Mom, didn't we agree that each household could only send a maximum of two people?" Qin Huairu asked, puzzled.

Madam Jia chuckled, "Others are others, but we are us. Our Jia family is a prestigious and powerful household; how can other families compare to us?"

Jia Dongxu said helplessly, "Mom, there's a free banquet in the yard today. Just bring Bang Geng there, but don't cause any trouble, or we might end up fighting again."

Jia Zhangshi sneered disdainfully, "They dare? Today you'll all listen to me, and I guarantee you'll all get a free meal. Old Man Yan won't dare say a word. Otherwise, I'll immediately tell Director Wang that Yan Jiecheng stole chickens. Let's see if Old Man Yan is scared then."

As she spoke, Jia Zhangshi picked up the stick from the bed and kissed it hard.

"My dear grandson, Grandma will take you out for meat at noon."

"Great! We get to eat meat again! I'm going to eat lots and lots of meat for lunch!"

Banggeng wiped the drool off his face, no longer caring about his grandma's smelly mouth.

"Good, good, good! My dear grandson will have all the meat he wants for lunch," Jia Zhangshi laughed heartily.

Seeing Jia Zhangshi's determined expression, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu knew that persuasion would be useless, so they remained silent, hoping that Jia Zhangshi would stop causing trouble.

Jia Zhangshi was in a very good mood today. Early this morning, Third Aunt gave her three yuan, which was hush money given to her by Third Aunt at the hospital-wide meeting yesterday.

Now that she has leverage over that little bastard Yan Jiecheng, the benefits won't be limited to just three yuan. There will be many more benefits to come. She'll take her whole family to a free banquet later. If the Yan family dares to utter a single word, she'll immediately go to Director Wang, and the Yan family won't dare to say anything.

......

Courtyard 28.

Qin Jingru brought the noodles over, smiling as she said, "Brother Wang Feng, my son, come and eat your noodles. I made chicken noodle soup today."

"They're here."

After washing up, Wang Feng came to the dining table and began to eat heartily at the delicious-looking chicken noodle soup.

Last night, Wang Feng didn't go back to Courtyard 95; he slept in Courtyard 28. After Qin Jingru got off work, she didn't go back to Courtyard 95 either; she came directly to Courtyard 28.

After breakfast, they brewed a pot of tea and chatted while drinking it.

"Son, we won't be having lunch here. Jingru and I have to go back to Courtyard No. 95. Something might happen there."

"Well, are you coming over for dinner tonight?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

Wang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's see. If there's nothing else, we'll come over."

"Um."

After finishing their tea, Wang Feng and Qin Jingru walked out of courtyard number 28.

"Brother Wang Feng, isn't today just a banquet in the courtyard? We're not going to eat, so what's it to us?" Qin Jingru asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, Jingru, there might be a good show to watch today. If we weren't in the courtyard, we wouldn't be able to see it, would we?" Wang Feng laughed.

"Um?"

Hearing that there was more to see, Qin Jingru immediately became excited. She looked at Wang Feng and asked anxiously, "Brother Wang Feng, what kind of show is it?"

"Alright, alright, it's not certain yet. Let's go back and talk about it later."

"oh."

Wang Feng is still unsure whether He Yushui will return today. Sometimes she comes back to the hospital every Sunday, and sometimes she only comes back once every two weeks.

Now that Sha Zhu's injuries have fully healed, it's time to find something for Yi Zhonghai to do.

I wonder if Sha Zhu can handle the truth after he learns it? What will Sha Zhu's attitude be towards Yi Zhonghai? Will he report Yi Zhonghai to the police and have him arrested, or beat Yi Zhonghai up, or continue to be fooled by Yi Zhonghai?

Wang Feng was already looking forward to it; after waiting for so long, the mystery was finally about to be revealed.
