Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 113 Rice and Wheat Ripen, Encounter with a Rebellious Local Tyrant

Midnight.

Xu Damao came out of the police station with a very unpleasant expression on his face.

He has completely lost face today, letting over a hundred people in the compound eavesdrop in front of the police. How can he ever hold his head up again?

Cursing and swearing, Xu Damao returned to No. 95 Courtyard and found that the gate had been locked by Yan Fugui. He simply climbed over the wall and jumped in.

......

at the same time.

Inside courtyard number 28, Wang Feng looked at the two long legs and shook his head speechlessly.

Qin Jingru had one, and Lou Xiao'e had one. He hadn't expected that Lou Xiao'e would also have this habit.

Last night, Wang Feng and the other two went to bed early after a very enjoyable and satisfying battle with the two women.

Today, the rice and wheat in the space are ripe. Wang Feng harvested the wheat and rice. He planted a little over three-tenths of an acre of rice and got two hundred catties of rice. He also harvested 170 catties of wheat from four-tenths of an acre. This yield is not bad.

Wang Feng checked the quality of the rice and wheat and found that they were suitable for planting. After dehydrating and processing the rice and wheat, he planted them all.

This time, a full 13 mu of rice and 10 mu of wheat were planted.

Wang Feng was just getting ready to go to sleep when he heard a soft knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

Wang Feng was very puzzled. This wasn't No. 95 Courtyard, so how could someone be knocking on the door? And it wasn't even the main gate, but his bedroom door?

Looking towards the door with his spiritual sense, he saw Lou San.

Wang Feng gently removed the two women's long legs from his body, but unexpectedly, he woke up Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e.

"Brother Wang Feng, are you going out again?"

After tucking the two girls in, Wang Feng said, "Uncle Lou is knocking on the door outside. You two continue sleeping. I'll go check it out."

"Brother Feng, Uncle Lou is here so late, is something wrong?" Lou Xiao'e asked with some concern.

"It's nothing, it's probably about the jade."

"oh."

Wang Feng put on his clothes and opened the door, but he only opened it a crack before covering it up, so people outside couldn't see inside.

"Son-in-law."

Wang Feng looked at Lou San and asked, "Uncle Lou San, is it about the jade?"

Lou San nodded: "Son-in-law, the jade has been delivered to the location you specified. Chairman Lou was worried that it would be inconvenient for you to handle it during the day, so he asked me to come and inform you."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Lou. Uncle Lou, did you climb over the wall to get in?"

Lou San nodded awkwardly: "Son-in-law, it's like this, I was afraid that knocking on the door would be too loud and attract the joint defense team, so I climbed over the wall to come in."

Wang Feng waved his hand: "It's nothing, Uncle Lou. Thank you for your hard work tonight. I'll go deal with that batch of jadeite later."

"Alright, son-in-law, I'll be going now."

After Lou San finished speaking, he leaped over the wall.

Wang Feng saw that Lou San easily jumped over the wall, so he must be a trained fighter. But even the most skilled fighter couldn't withstand a single punch from him.

Back in the house, Wang Feng said to the two women, "You two go to sleep first. Uncle Lou has come to see me about the jade and gemstones. I need to go and take care of it."

"Um."

Wang Feng opened the door, locked it again, and rode his bicycle towards Mao'er Hutong.

The address he gave Lou Bancheng was an abandoned courtyard in Mao'er Hutong. Since Lou San and his group had already transported the jade and gemstones over, it would be safest to store them in the space.

Having evaded the patrols of the four joint defense teams, Wang Feng arrived at the abandoned compound.

Damn it, it's just a deputy ministerial-level official who went missing, do they really need so many people patrolling?

At No. 28 Nanluoguxiang, only about two kilometers away from the abandoned courtyard in Mao'er Hutong, he encountered four joint defense teams patrolling. That's a bit too much.

As he entered the courtyard, a masked man in black approached him. Wang Feng was about to make his move when the masked man spoke:

"Young master, this is Lou Yi. The things are all in the side room. Everything has been taken care of, so I'll be leaving now."

Upon hearing that it was Lou Yi, Wang Feng smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Lou Yi."

Wang Feng had never met Lou Yi; he had only met Lou San. However, those named after Lou Yi and Lou San were probably the people Lou Bancheng trusted most.

After Lou Yi left, Wang Feng went into the side room and saw the dozen or so large boxes he had seen during the day. He then put all of these boxes into his spatial storage.

Under the control of his mind, all the jade stones in the dozen or so large boxes, including those obtained from Prince Qing's mansion, turned into streaks of green light and poured into the stone pool.

Wang Feng clearly felt the stone pool tremble, and then nothing more.

After a while, seeing the life-giving water dripping from the stone pool, which was still the second generation, Wang Feng shook his head in disappointment.

The jadeite stones in this batch were mostly high-grade; if they were in later generations, who knows how much they would be worth.

Surprisingly, even with so much jade, the Water of Life still didn't get upgraded. It seems there's still too little jade.

Back in the room, Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e were already asleep. Wang Feng took off his clothes and quietly lay down in the middle.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Wang Feng got up very early today, around 7 a.m.

Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e made large meat buns, which Wang Feng ate with gusto.

After breakfast, Lou Xiao'e brewed a pot of tea for Wang Feng; the tea leaves were from her father's place the day before.

Wang Feng took a sip of tea and said, "Son, I'll take Jingru to Fengzeyuan later. You stay home. I've put some wild boar meat in the kitchen. Remember to cook it for lunch."

"Okay, Brother Feng, I'll let you try my cooking at noon." Lou Xiao'e nodded obediently.

"Brother Feng, are you going to see my dad again today?"

Wang Feng nodded: "Let's go this afternoon. I still need to give the gold to your dad today."

"Brother Feng, then call me when you go."

"Um."

Qin Jingru's heart was already in turmoil as she listened to their conversation.

Last night, after Wang Feng went out, she asked her son. She didn't expect that Wang Feng would take out two hundred catties of gold to exchange for jadeite with her son's father.

How come she didn't know there was so much gold in the house? Her son told her that Brother Wang Feng had at least several thousand kilograms of gold, which she found hard to believe.

What kind of family did she marry into? They're throwing around thousands of kilograms of gold all the time? Could it really be like what my son said, that Brother Wang Feng is from some kind of reclusive family?

Time quickly passed to 9:30 in the morning, and Wang Feng rode his bicycle with Qin Jingru on the back and headed out.

When they were only two hundred meters away from Fengzeyuan, five young men stopped Wang Feng and Qin Jingru.

Wang Feng stopped his bicycle and looked at the young men's clothes; they did look a bit like troublemakers.

"Who are you? What do you want? Are you trying to rob us in broad daylight?"

A young man pointed at Wang Feng and yelled, "Kid, who are you? What's your relationship with this girl? She beat up my brother Qiang yesterday and ran away. Today we're here to get an explanation from her."
