Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 456 Helping Qin Huairu Change a Light Bulb, Qin Jingru's Analysis

After drinking a few cups of tea at home, Wang Feng said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, let's go to Qin Huairu's house."

Qin Jingru nodded her head: "Okay, Brother Wang Feng."

The two stepped out of the room. By then, it was almost completely dark, with only a sliver of sunlight remaining, barely enough to see the road clearly.

As soon as Wang Feng stepped out, he was spotted by Jia Zhangshi, who was hiding in a corner. She quickly went to the front yard.

Wang Feng and Qin Jingru arrived at Qin Huairu's house, and Wang Feng knocked on the door directly.

"Knock knock knock".

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Qin Huairu was in a state of great turmoil and inner conflict. She didn't want to use such methods on Wang Feng, but she had no choice but to do so.

Now that the ration has been reduced by 27%, her mother-in-law has no ration and eats a lot. With her salary of 5 yuan, it's difficult to even support Jia Zhangshi, let alone the family of Banggeng and Xiaodang.

Hearing the knock, Qin Huairu knew it must be Wang Feng. She forced down her nervousness and quickly opened the door.

The moment she opened the door, her mind went blank, filled with questions, because she saw that Qin Jingru had also arrived and was standing next to Wang Feng.

With Jingru present, how could she possibly carry out her plan?

Wang Feng froze when Qin Huairu opened the door, and asked in surprise, "Qin Huairu, I'm here. Aren't you going to invite me in? Weren't you going to change a lightbulb? Are you going to change it or not? If not, I'm leaving!"

Qin Huairu snapped out of her daze and gave an awkward laugh: "Change? Of course we should change. I just didn't expect Jingru to come too."

Qin Jingru sneered, "Qin Huairu, are you surprised? You wouldn't be thinking of calling my brother Wang Feng over here so you can seduce him while I'm not here, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly recovered, rolled her eyes, and said coquettishly:

"How could I, Jingru? Wang Feng is my brother-in-law. No matter what, I can't do such a thing. Besides, in your eyes, is your sister such a shameless and unfaithful person?"

"Hehe, that's hard to say. When you get shameless, you're practically inhuman," Qin Jingru sneered.

"Jingru...you?"

Qin Huairu's eyes instantly reddened, and she looked at Qin Jingru with a pitiful expression. She hadn't expected Jingru to be so hostile towards her. What was going on? All she did was go to her house to ask for meat twice. Did she have to treat her like an enemy?

Seeing this, Wang Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright, Qin Huairu, hurry up and change the light bulb. I have things to do at home."

"Cheng, Wang Feng, Jingru, come in quickly."

Qin Huairu knew that with Qin Jingru present, today's plan was definitely not going to work, so she had no choice but to let them in.

Wang Feng and Qin Jingru entered the house, which was dark. Wang Feng asked, "Qin Jingru, where are your mother-in-law and Bang Geng?"

"Oh, them? Banggeng took Xiaodang out to play after dinner, and they haven't come back yet now that it's dark. My mother-in-law went to look for them."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng was certain that Qin Huairu had something fishy about calling him over to change the light bulb. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng weren't home?

He suspected that Qin Huairu was trying to set him up, but he had no evidence. However, based on his experience from his two lifetimes, he was pretty sure that this was a done deal.

Thinking of this, Wang Feng's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Qin Huairu, go get a flashlight and shine it on me."

"Okay, I'll go get the flashlight right away."

Qin Huairu agreed, picked up a flashlight from the bedside table, and shone it on the light bulb.

"Wang Feng, this light bulb was working fine yesterday, but it's not working this morning."

Wang Feng nodded, took a stool as a stepping stone, and began to check the light bulb.

He simply twisted it with his hand, and he knew the light bulb was loose. Whether it was loosened by someone twisting it or by itself, he didn't know.

Tighten the light bulb, and it lit up instantly, brightening the room.

"Alright, Qin Huairu, the light bulb was loose, I've tightened it."

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Wang Feng, thank you so much."

Wang Feng waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, the lightbulb is changed, let's head back now."

"Cheng, Wang Feng, Jingru, take care."

Wang Feng and Qin Jingru walked out of the Jia family's house. Qin Huairu watched their backs as they left, and her face instantly darkened. She slammed the door shut with a bang.

She never expected that Wang Feng would bring Qin Jingru along even to change a light bulb. Were they really that affectionate?

She's used the excuse of changing a light bulb once; who knows what excuse she'll come up with next time to get Wang Feng to come to her house?

Wang Feng and Qin Jingru returned to the house. Qin Jingru poured Wang Feng a cup of tea and said:

"Brother Wang Feng, I feel like something's off about Qin Huairu asking you to change a light bulb today. You said her light bulb was broken, and Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng weren't home at the time. That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? I suspect Qin Huairu is probably trying to seduce you."

When Lu Banxia heard that changing a light bulb was a way to seduce Wang Feng, her face flushed red. She had previously asked Wang Feng to help her change a light bulb and then offered herself to him, which is why Wang Feng accepted her.

Wang Feng took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "I suspect Qin Huairu isn't trying to seduce me; she's probably trying to frame me for being a pervert."

"what?"

Qin Jingru and Lu Banxia were both stunned when they heard this.

"Brother Wang Feng, is Qin Huairu really that ruthless? If she really does this, it's going to kill you!" Lu Banxia asked in shock.

Qin Jingru gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "Very likely. When we went to Qin Huairu's house just now, Qin Huairu was clearly stunned when she saw me. Banxia, ​​think about it, if I hadn't gone with Wang Feng, she might have taken off her clothes, hugged Wang Feng, and shouted 'You're a pervert!' Then Jia Zhangshi might have suddenly run over to catch them in the act. What do you think would have happened?"

Lu Banxia nodded, still shaken: "Then wouldn't Brother Feng be in a situation where he can't clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River?"

"But Qin Huairu is too vicious! You're all relatives, why would she do this? Isn't she trying to kill Brother Feng? Being a scoundrel will get you in for it!"

Qin Jingru thought for a moment and analyzed, "I bet, most likely, Qin Huairu wants to find another 'foolish Zhu' (a nickname for a man who is easily fooled). Think about it, now that Qin Huairu no longer has 'foolish Zhu' to support her, Yi Zhonghai doesn't support her family anymore, and now her ration quota has been reduced by 30%. With her meager salary, can she support a family?"

"If she confirms that Wang Feng has been a pervert, and either makes him support her family from now on, or she reports him to the police and makes him pay, what would you choose?"

Without even thinking, Lu Banxia blurted out, "Is there even a choice? Of course, we should choose to support their whole family. It's better than losing our lives, right?"

"Of course! I really didn't expect Qin Huairu to be so ruthless!" Qin Jingru said through gritted teeth.

"Qin Huairu, you just wait. Tomorrow in the cafeteria, if I don't toss the food for you, I'm not Qin Jingru."

Wang Feng's face was gloomy. Without Qin Jingru's reminder, he was almost certain that Qin Huairu was trying to set him up. Her purpose was obvious: to control him for life and make him support those ungrateful wretches from the Jia family.
