Chapter 204 The Abnormal Purchasing Department
The old woman was ostensibly Yi Zhonghai's wife, but the deaf old woman knew perfectly well that she was actually Yi Zhonghai's servant, slave, and maid.
The deaf old woman and Yi Zhonghai had a cooperative relationship.
Yi Zhonghai needs to leverage the deaf old woman's identity to gain prestige and control over the courtyard house.
The deaf old woman, on the other hand, needed to rely on Yi Zhonghai to elevate her status and thus lord it over everyone in the courtyard.
The two can be described as partners who share both glory and hardship.
That's why the deaf old woman didn't care about the older woman's dissatisfaction.
Because she knew Yi Zhonghai could handle an older woman.
Later, the older woman will come over to clear the dishes and tidy up the house for him, just like before.
"In the end, it's all the neighbor's fault. If that kid knew how to be filial to his old lady, this wouldn't have happened."
The deaf old woman's eyes were filled with resentment, dissatisfaction, and anger.
All of these were later transformed into emotional power, which was absorbed by Li Qin's divine nature and converted into divine power, thus aiding in the upgrading of his divine nature.
In the past, the happiest moment for the residents of the courtyard house was after they received their wages.
Not only can they earn the money they worked so hard for, but they can also improve their meals and enjoy the taste of meat.
But today was an exception.
Under the powerful influence of hot pot, the residents of the courtyard felt that the meat today did not taste as good as usual.
However, this is just an illusion.
The residents of the courtyard house knew very well that the whole thing was because of Li Qin.
They could do nothing about it except complain at home or curse in their hearts.
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Qin rested in the living room for a while before going to his study to read.
Although the system notifications kept ringing in his ears, they did not affect Li Qin's concentration on reading at all.
This situation continued until almost all the residents of the courtyard house were asleep.
"We've had quite a fruitful day."
Li Qin put down the book in his hand, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
This hotpot meal directly brought him tens of thousands of emotional energy points, making it a truly fruitful experience.
With a joyful heart, Li Qin drifted off to sleep.
When Li Qin woke up the next day, he knew that the hotpot he had cooked the day before had angered many people, but he showed no fear or hesitation.
She even took advantage of the crowds to wash up at the central courtyard pool with her own toiletries.
Along the way, he would greet everyone he met with a smile.
His behavior left the residents of the courtyard house speechless.
Although these people felt uncomfortable with Li Qin's smiling greeting, they still had to respond with a smile.
This made them extremely upset.

As Li Qin listened to the system notification in his ear and saw the complex expressions on these people's faces, his wicked sense of pleasure was greatly satisfied.
What he enjoyed most was watching the people in the courtyard house who were annoyed with him but couldn't do anything about it.
Of course, some people ignored or even disregarded Li Qin's greeting.
That was He Yuzhu.
Li Qin, however, was extremely tolerant of this, neither secretly harming He Yuzhu nor saying anything.
In any case, He Yuzhu provided just as much emotional support as he was supposed to.
After washing up, Li Qin returned home and began eating breakfast.
On the surface, he ate porridge, boiled eggs, and some leftovers from last night for breakfast.
But in reality, it was very abundant, with a wide variety of dishes.
Of course, the most important thing is that it tastes excellent.
This time, Li Qin didn't use any magic to spread the aroma of the food throughout the courtyard; he even intentionally sealed the smell inside the house.
To prevent it from spreading.
There's a proper way to stir up trouble.
If you use this trick every day, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced after a few times.
It might even eventually lose its effectiveness.
Therefore, after each visit, Li Qin would take a break to allow the people in the courtyard to recover.
"Tonight is the agreed-upon time to provide supplies to the four black markets for the first time, but we need to make some preparations in advance."
Li Qin ate his breakfast while thinking to himself.
While it's called preparation, there's really nothing to do.
The courtyard house is all ready, and Li Qin prepared all the necessary supplies yesterday.
All we need to do is place them in the four courtyards as agreed, and then someone will come and transport them away.
Because this was their first collaboration, Li Qin was inevitably more concerned.
After these days of development, the breeding space on the third floor of the pagoda is now fully operational.
Not counting the free-range wild animals, the number of pigs in the farms alone has reached over a thousand.
The number of cattle and sheep is also several hundred.
As for poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese, Li Qin couldn't even count their numbers.
If it weren't for the two-story planting space that allows for the daily harvest of large quantities of grains, vegetables, and other supplies, it would be impossible to feed so many poultry and livestock.
The third-floor breeding space now produces a considerable amount of meat, eggs, and other supplies every day.
As for providing nearly 20,000 jin of meat and other supplies to the four black markets tonight, Li Qin faces no pressure whatsoever.
On the contrary, it's very relaxing.
At this moment, all these supplies are stored in the storage ring, and Li Qin only needs to put them into a few courtyards.
After leisurely finishing his breakfast, Li Qin rode his bicycle slowly toward the steel rolling mill.
"What's going on?"
When Li Qin arrived at the purchasing department, he immediately looked puzzled.
Logically speaking, at the beginning of each month, the purchasing staff in the purchasing department rarely go to the countryside to make purchases.
Having just gone through several rounds of purchasing, the villagers' homes wouldn't have much left.
Purchasing at this time will yield the least return.
Therefore, in the past, at the beginning of the month, purchasing staff would be at the steel rolling mill.
But when Li Qin came to the purchasing department today, he didn't see many people.
At least half of the purchasing staff were absent.
Li Qin was very puzzled.
Keep in mind that he was already considered to be arriving at work relatively late; normally, no one should arrive at the steel rolling mill later than him.
"Sister Xia, where are the other colleagues? We can't find them anywhere!"
Li Qin asked Chang Xia curiously.
Hearing Li Qin's voice, Chang Xia looked up.
Only then did Li Qin notice that Chang Xia's expression was also somewhat heavy, as if something had happened.
However, upon seeing that it was Li Qin, Chang Xia forced a smile, then sighed helplessly.
Then he said in a low voice:
"You're late today, so you don't know that the team leader held a meeting this morning and announced our procurement targets for this month."
Upon hearing this, Li Qin's heart stirred.
He vaguely guessed that the unusual situation in the purchasing department was related to this morning meeting.
Or to be more precise, it is related to the announced procurement tasks.
