Siheyuan: I just want to live
Chapter 107: Pauper Again
The next morning, when Chen Feng returned to Sijiu City from the guesthouse, there were only a few dozen dollars in cash left in his space.
After Chen Feng and Li Heiwa finished their meal yesterday, Li Heiwa told the villagers Chen Feng that he would not come tomorrow and would have to wait a month before coming back.
Hearing this news, the villagers seemed to be injected with a powerful motivation. The women and children cut the grass faster, and the men kept delivering the grass to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng watched his schoolbag gradually deflate, and he felt a little nervous, worried that he would not have enough money in the end. Time passed by, the sun gradually set, and there was not much money left in Chen Feng's schoolbag.
Just after nightfall, Chen Feng stopped purchasing, and in the end he had only a few dozen dollars left.
However, despite harvesting more than 3,000 tons of grass, he also paid more than 6,000 yuan.
Although the money was shared by the whole village, for an ordinary farmer, the final amount was not a small sum.
Chen Feng and the villagers all hoped that he could stay in the village for two more days to purchase goods, but the reality made them feel helpless.
Chen Feng's wallet was empty and could no longer support his acquisition. There were only a few dozen dollars left in Chen Feng's space, which was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for him.
The only wealth he had now was gold and antiques, which were difficult to cash in. Faced with such a situation, Chen Feng couldn't help but lament his own powerlessness.
It was already noon when Chen Feng returned to the courtyard. He was surprised that he did not see Yan Fugui at the gate, but if he did not see Yan Fugui, Chen Feng would not look for him.
Chen Feng pushed his bicycle directly through the front yard and came to the middle yard.
I saw Shazhu, whose right calf was in a cast, got a recliner and lay in the yard.
Next to them, Yi Zhonghai and his wife, the Jia family, and the deaf old lady in the backyard were picking vegetables and chatting in front of Shazhu's door. However, Jia Zhangshi was no longer in the Jia family, and she was still imprisoned!
Sha Zhu was the first one to see Chen Feng enter the central courtyard. When he saw Chen Feng, his face turned pale instantly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyes were full of fear.
He remembered the night when Chen Feng broke his leg, and subconsciously wanted to find a crutch, then fled back to the house with the crutch.
Although the incident happened two or three months ago, Sha Zhu has not been able to get rid of the fear and shadow deep in his heart during this period of time.
Everyone was very surprised to see Sha Zhu so frightened. They followed Sha Zhu's gaze and found that it was Chen Feng who came back.
Jia Dongxu, who was sitting on a small stool, looked even more embarrassed. When his eyes fell on Chen Feng, his body trembled violently and he fell off the stool.
His eyes widened, his face full of astonishment and fear, and his lips trembled slightly.
It seemed that he was recalling that night. The two gunshots left a deep impression on him, causing him to still be unable to get rid of the psychological shadow.
When everyone heard the noise, they all turned to look, only to see Jia Dongxu sitting on the ground with a look of pain on his face. Qin Huairu quickly stood up and helped Jia Dongxu up.
After being helped up by Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu sat back on the stool.
He looked at his wife, a trace of gratitude appeared on his face, and the tension in his heart gradually subsided.
When Yi Zhonghai saw the looks of Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
He thought, how great it would be if Chen Feng could respect himself like Sha Zhu! After all, Chen Feng's family background was good, he was a military martyr's relative, and he also had at least two guns.
If he could stand on my side, then who in this yard would dare to disrespect me?
However, the reality made Yi Zhonghai feel helpless because Chen Feng had always disobeyed his management.
He secretly made up his mind that he must find an opportunity to teach Chen Feng a lesson in the future and let him know how powerful he is.
Then I can turn Chen Feng into the next Shazhu and make him listen to my command. Then I can rest easy in the future.
Yi Zhonghai saw that Chen Feng had come closer, so he asked, "Chen Feng, where have you been these past two days? Why didn't I see you?"
Chen Feng didn't want to pay attention to Yi Zhonghai, so he didn't talk to him. Instead, he simply ignored what he said and walked straight to the backyard.
Seeing that Chen Feng ignored him, Yi Zhonghai said in a more serious tone, "Chen Feng, I'm asking you a question. Did you hear me?"
Chen Feng still didn't talk to Yi Zhonghai, and without stopping, he entered the backyard in a blink of an eye.
Yi Zhonghai was so angry at Chen Feng's disregard that he was gasping for breath. The middle-aged woman next to him hurriedly helped Yi Zhonghai to hold his chest and breathe smoothly, fearing that Yi Zhonghai would run out of breath and pass out.
Qin Huairu also hurriedly comforted Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, Chen Feng is young and ignorant, please be more forgiving and don't get yourself upset!"
The deaf old lady also said, "Xiao Yi! Chen Feng is a little bastard who doesn't know how to behave. You should find a chance to teach him a lesson in the future. Don't let your body get hurt by getting angry. It's not worth it!"
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said to everyone, "I'm fine now. I'll find time to teach Chen Feng the rules of respecting the elderly and loving the young."
After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Sha Zhu agreed and said, "Uncle, you are right! You should teach Chen Feng a lesson!"
After hearing what the director said, Yi Zhonghai turned to Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu and said, "Sha Zhu, and Dongxu, you two young people, you must never learn from Chen Feng in the future! You must respect the elderly and love the young, really?"
Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu said quickly, "I know, uncle!"
Although Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu and his wife both said it with sincerity, only Sha Zhu was sincere in what he said. No one knew what Jia Dongxu and his wife were thinking.
The deaf old lady next to him heard Yi Zhonghai's teaching to the younger generation, and secretly curled her lips, but didn't say anything. After all, she was also a beneficiary of Yi Zhonghai's theory.
Chen Feng did not hear the conversation between Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu and the others, otherwise Chen Feng might not have been able to help but spit at Yi Zhonghai.
After Chen Feng returned home, he checked the stove and found that they were all out.
Although the weather is getting warmer now and there is no need to burn the heater anymore, he still has to use this coal stove for cooking.
Chen Feng shook his head helplessly and said to himself: "Alas, I have to light the fire again."
He walked to the door, wanting to see if anyone around had their door open so he could change the coal briquettes, but he found that everyone in the backyard had their doors closed.
There was no other choice, so Chen Feng had to take the coal stove out of the kitchen and place it in the middle of the yard.
He emptied the stove first, then found an old newspaper and tore it into pieces. Then he took out some broken wood from the space and carefully piled them on the newspaper.
After everything was ready, Chen Feng struck a match and lit the newspaper.
The fire gradually spread and the broken wood began to burn. However, due to the pressure of the coal balls, smoke billowed up and the whole backyard was suddenly covered with smoke.
Just then, Liu Haizhong, who lived opposite, opened the door.
Seeing Chen Feng lighting the stove, he walked over to Chen Feng and said, "Chen Feng, it turns out you are the one lighting the coal stove! I thought there was a fire in our yard!"
Chen Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to him and said, "Master Liu, didn't you go to the countryside to buy some? I haven't been back for two days, and the stove at home went out, so I took it out to light it. I'm sorry to have troubled you, Liu Haizhong!"
Liu Haizhong took the cigarette from Chen Feng, lit it with a match, took a puff, and then said
"Oh! Why should I bother? Chen Feng! Next time the stove goes out, don't light it yourself. You make too much noise!"
"If the stove goes out, come to my house and change it. Your second aunt is at home all day, so you can just come and change it!"
Chen Feng looked at the smoke that had just dissipated, and saw that it was indeed quite a commotion, so he said, "Well, I see. Thank you, Master Liu!"
Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said, "Why thank you? We are all neighbors living in the same courtyard."
After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he suddenly asked, "Chen Feng, you just said that you went to the countryside to purchase supplies? How was it? What did you gain from this trip?"
Chen Feng was really stumped by Liu Haizhong's question. Chen Feng had never been to the village to purchase ordinary supplies, so how would he know?
So Chen Feng said casually, "Master Liu, you know it too! Now is a time of famine, where can we get any supplies in the countryside!"
"Even if there is a little bit, there are so many buyers from big factories in the city going to the countryside. How can they keep it for me?"
I was also assigned by my boss to do this, and I went to the countryside for two days. In the end, I didn’t buy a single chicken feather! ”
Liu Haizhong thought about what Chen Feng said and it made sense. The purchases from the steel mill alone were so huge. Not to mention the two bigger factories, Shougang and Cotton Spinning!
I don’t know how many times the countryside has been plowed by these buyers. It is normal that Chen Feng didn’t buy anything when he went to the countryside.
So Liu Haizhong said, "Chen Feng! When you come across eggs during your shopping trip in the future, you must save them for me! Don't worry, Second Uncle won't let you suffer any loss!"
When Chen Feng heard Liu Haizhong's request, he patted his chest and said confidently, "Master Liu, don't worry! If I come across eggs in the future, I will definitely save them for you!"
Even though Chen Feng patted his chest loudly, he would not leave any eggs for Liu Haizhong.
What if Liu Haizhong reported him with eggs in the future? Chen Feng would never hand the evidence to him!
Liu Haizhong wants to get the egg from Chen Feng, so let him be blinded by it! Anyway, Chen Feng will definitely not give it to him!
Seeing that Chen Feng agreed, Liu Haizhong said to Chen Feng happily, "Second Uncle knows that you are a kind-hearted child and will definitely agree! Then I will go back first and not disturb you anymore."
Then Liu Haizhong turned around and left, and his steps seemed a little brisk when he walked away!
Chen Feng still politely called out to Liu Haizhong's back, "Goodbye, Master Liu!"
Liu Haizhong waved his hand casually, walked into the room and closed the door again.
