Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Seeing Xu Damao like this, Sha Zhu felt both sad and happy. He felt sad that Xu Damao looked down on his daughter so much, but he also felt happy that he seemed to have won a round against Xu Damao.

"Hey..." Li Kangri patted Xu Damao on the back and said, "Not really, not really, Xu Damao, the two daughters of the human pillar are not that bad, right? You heard them as if they were monsters. I think that's a bit too much."

"Master," Xu Damao wiped his tears and said, "Please leave at least one for me! Two, two, both were killed in the battle."

"Does Sister Xiao'e know?" Li Kangri asked.

"I don't know. I haven't dared to tell her yet. But I will tell her tonight. I can't afford to offend them, but can't I hide? At worst, I can pack up and go back to Hong Kong, and then come back after they get married." Xu Damao cried.

"Do you think you can take your two sons away now?" Li Kangri asked.

"This……"

"Alright! Let me ask Zhuzi what he thinks first," Li Kangri said, looking at He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, what do you think about these four children?"

"Master, what can I do? I can't control the eldest son in my family at all. The second son is okay, but I can't stop them! I will do whatever they want. I don't want to be a feudal patriarch." Sha Zhu said.

"Look at him, look at him," Xu Damao said angrily, pointing at Sha Zhu, "Master, look at him, look at the way he acted like a spoiled brat, it really pissed me off."

"Xu Damao, to be honest, I didn't think that I would get close to you just because your family is rich. Don't you know who I am? I am fine with a stutter. As for my best friend, I tell you, it is impossible for him to do anything else. He has to be a cook in this life, but he also likes being a cook," Sha Zhu said, "So, take your money with you to your coffin. I don't want to miss it."

"Did you hear that, Damao? I believe what Zhuzi said," Li Kangri said, "What do you think?!"

"Master, if it's just one, I can barely accept it, but these two, oh my, it makes me sad just thinking about it, aren't I completely wiped out? Tell me," Xu Damao said sadly, "It's also my fault that these two useless things have been thrown into my hands. I'm afraid that I'll have a grandson who looks like Sha Zhu in the future. What the hell, isn't this destroying the descendants of my Xu family?"

"Da Mao, why are you talking nonsense again? If I really give you a grandson who looks like Zhuzi, wouldn't you be Zhuzi's grandfather? How great!" Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Grandma, I'm his grandpa," Sha Zhu said angrily.

"Master, you know what, I feel much better after you said that." Xu Damao was a little proud.

"Okay, stop arguing now. Zhuzi, what's your attitude? Be more clear!"

"Master, I have no right to interfere in this matter! Didn't I say it? The eldest sister is more powerful than me. The second sister will start crying when I try to interfere. They are all my aunts. I can't control them and can only go along with them." Sha Zhu said.

"Okay, I understand. Damao, what do you mean?"

"Master, what I mean is to tear them down. I don't want to be a relative of Sha Zhu. If it's really not possible, just leave one for me! I will pretend that the other one doesn't exist." Xu Damao said weakly.

"Where's your son? Can you control him?"

"This... was okay when I was a child, but now it's all grandpa's turn. How could they listen to me? If they could, I wouldn't have quarreled with Shazhu." Xu Damao said sadly.

"Okay, let's do this! Let's use our fortune telling to determine their marriage potential. Let everything depend on fate, okay?" Li Kangri suggested.

"Hehe, I agree with this," Sha Zhu said happily.

"I agree too," said Xu Damao.

"Okay, no one will suffer a loss, and no one will take advantage. Each of you write a word to test a pair. Let Xu Xiao test first."

So, just like that, Xu Damao took out a pen and paper and started writing. Soon he wrote a difficult character on the paper, "Master, it's difficult for me, very difficult, I will write this character."

"Da Mao, I think you think it's too difficult for them to be together, right?"

"It's best this way."

"You can say this difficult word yourself first," Li Kangri said with a smile, "and I will test you by the way."

Hearing that he was being tested, Xu Damao temporarily forgot his troubles and said with a smile, "Master, judging from the shape of the difficult characters, the person is tightly sandwiched in the middle, so it is very difficult to complete. Moreover, the character '又' is half of the character '双'. If you separate the '又', it cannot form a pair. This further proves that this task cannot be accomplished." Xu Damao said.

"Wow, Xu Damao, it sounds like that, is it true?" Sha Zhu said.

"Virtue, it must be true!" Xu Damao said proudly, "Master, what do you think?"

"Da Mao, you are deliberately making things difficult for us! Let me explain it to you," Li Kangri said with a smile, "I think this word 'difficult' is actually not difficult. Look, the left and the right are good, which is like a bright future after a dark period. As the saying goes, when you have reached the end of the road, you will find a way out.

"Ah, Master, it can be dismantled this way," Xu Damao said speechlessly.

"You are trying to make it difficult, so it is difficult. I am not trying to make it difficult, so it is not difficult," Li Kangri said with a smile, "and, you see, according to what you said, it is the Chinese character "人" squeezed in the middle, but there are two masters on the right side of the person, which means that there are important people exerting pressure, which happens to be you, but it can be solved in the end. You see, in the Chinese character "难", one person stands between the two masters. "又" means the side of "权" and the end of "友", which means that someone is helping them, and it is a powerful person. I conclude that this powerful person is Sister Xiao'e. Do you think you have no power at home?"

"Well..." Xu Damao said embarrassedly, "Master, I can't lie to you. Ezi has the final say in my family."

"That's it. Sister Xiao'e will agree to Xu Xiao's matter. You don't have the final say."

"Hey, Master, what you said is really good, much better than what Xu Damao said," Sha Zhu said proudly, "Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e used to be a lady from a wealthy family. She has agreed, why do you disagree?"

"Shazhu, don't be so proud. Let me tell you, if they really get married, I will definitely encourage my son to find mistresses, a lot of them, and give birth to a lot of grandchildren for me," Xu Damao said.

"Then let's see if He Yu will let him off." Sha Zhu smiled. He was quite confident in his daughter.

"Virtue, I will teach my son martial arts when I get back, and then we'll see who can beat whom."

"Okay, they're arguing again. Now Xu Xiao and He Yu's relationship is settled. This is a marriage destined by heaven. It's your turn to write something on that pillar for Xu Wen and He Li to read." Li Kangri said.
