Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

At this time, Qin Huairu had already left, and Xu Damao also withdrew his reluctant gaze, and said with a sly smile, "Silly Zhu, your sister Qin is so pitiful! Why don't you catch up with her and comfort her?"

"Xu Damao, you..." Sha Zhu said with a red face.

"Okay, hey! You two, continue eating!" Li Kangri said weakly.

During the meal, no one enjoyed it very much because of Qin Huairu's harassment. After the meal, Sha Zhu left the Li family in a depressed mood.

As soon as I walked out of the door, the old deaf man came to meet me and said stealthily, "My dear grandson, go to grandma. Grandma has something to ask you!"

After saying that, he limped towards his room, and Sha Zhu followed behind him.

"Zhu Zi, have you got in touch?" After entering, the old deaf man asked with a smile on his face.

"No, I just went to his house to cook." Sha Zhu replied dejectedly.

"Why are you unhappy? Just now, old lady, I saw the widow of the Qin family running out crying. Could it be related to her?" the old deaf man guessed.

"Well," Sha Zhu nodded and replied, "What do you think this sister-in-law of the Jia family wants to do! She has to go in and make a fuss, causing...ah!..."

"My dear grandson, what happened? Tell me, old lady, I will give you some advice."

So Sha Zhu described to the old deaf man what had just happened.

"This young widow is really..." the old deaf man said angrily, but in an instant she remembered Yi Zhonghai's complaint just now, "Hey, this kid from the Li family is smart! He knows that there are a lot of gossips around widows, so he doesn't want to have anything to do with widows at all! Smart!" said the old deaf man meaningfully.

"Old lady, I'm afraid the Li brothers and sisters will have opinions about me. From now on... Oh! Forget it, I don't want to think about it. Let it be whatever it wants!" Sha Zhu said helplessly.

"My dear grandson, I won't say anything else. Although the kid from the Li family is a little disrespectful to the elderly, he is very smart. You should learn from him in the future. It would be best if you can have a good relationship with him." The old deaf man reminded.

"I understand, old lady. Do you have anything else to do? No, I'm going back to sleep. I'm still upset!" said Sha Zhu.

"Go!"

……

In this way, time quickly came to Saturday afternoon. During this period, Qin Huairu would look for Sha Zhu every day whether she had something to do or not. Not only did she rush to wash clothes, she also told Sha Zhu that she wanted to introduce a cousin to him.

But Sha Zhu was now only thinking about Li Qinghe and didn't like Qin Huairu at all. After being annoyed by her pestering him, Sha Zhu learned his lesson. Every day when he came back, he would first observe at the gate of the central courtyard. After making sure that Qin Huairu was not in the yard, he would run to Li's house.

He finally realized that as long as he entered the Li family, he would be safe.

That afternoon, Sha Zhu ran into Li's house in a hurry again.

"Chef He, what are you doing? You sneak around every day. Is there someone chasing you?" Li Kangri joked, knowing the truth.

"No, of course not!" Sha Zhu said embarrassedly, "Then what are we eating today?"

"Today! Let me think, I don't have any ingredients today. I bought two pheasants when I came back. Can you tell me what I can cook?"

"Pheasant? How about I make you a spicy pheasant? How about some boiled cabbage?" said Sha Zhu.

"Sure!" said Li Kangri.

"Where's your sister? Hasn't she come back yet?" Sha Zhu asked. As soon as he said that, he felt something was wrong and quickly added, "I haven't taught her how to make this dish yet! I just want to teach her."

"It's okay. I've prepared some ingredients for you to try. I'll give it to you!" Li Kangri took out the prepared Li's Thirteen Spices from his pocket and handed it to Sha Zhu.

After getting the seasoning, Sha Zhu immediately opened it and smelled it,...

"Not bad, you can tell it's good stuff just by smelling it. Do you have the recipe?" Sha Zhu asked angrily.

"Haha, it's indeed Chef He. I'll write the recipe for you later. After all, you also gave the secret recipe to my sister." Li Kangri said.

"Hehe, okay, I'll go clean up first and do it when they come back." After saying that, Sha Zhu happily walked into the kitchen.

Just when Sha Zhu was busy, someone started looking for him all over the yard.

"Silly brother, silly brother, I'm back, are you home?" He Yushui shouted.

But after pushing the door open, she found no one in the room.

"Hasn't gotten off work yet? That shouldn't be the case! Could you have gone to Sister Qin's house? That must be the case. I'll go and check it out." He Yushui thought.

Thinking of this, He Yushui came to Jia's house without stopping. When she entered the house, she saw Qin Huairu, who was in a daze at home with a worried face. "Sister Qin, where is my silly brother? Have you seen him?"

Seeing He Yushui coming in, Qin Huairu immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Yushui is back! Haha."

"No, Sister Qin, you're still pregnant, don't stand up." He Yushui quickly supported Qin Huairu who was standing up, with a concerned look, "Sister Qin, have you seen my silly brother? Why is there no one at home? I thought he was here with you!"

Hearing He Yushui say this, Qin Huairu immediately started acting like a drama queen, looking so pitiful, which made He Yushui very confused.

"Sister Qin, I hope something happened to my brother again!" He Yushui asked worriedly.

She already knew about the last time Sha Zhu was blackmailed for 800 yuan and then locked up for five days, but when she went to find trouble with him, he had already returned home.

"No, but..."

So Qin Huairu told He Yushui about Sha Zhu's recent whereabouts mixed with some personal feelings, and also told her about introducing a date to Sha Zhu.

"Yu Shui, I don't know what's wrong with your brother. He's so old, but he doesn't want to date anyone I tried to introduce him to. If he hadn't ignored me, I would have brought my cousin here a few days ago." Qin Huairu said.

"Hmph, he is destined to be a bachelor and he even cooks for his enemy. It's not wrong to call him Shazhu. Sister Qin, just wait, I'm going to deal with him right away. And that guy named Li, I wanted to find him last time but couldn't find him. This time, I'm going to make him pay!" He Yushui said angrily.

Seeing He Yushui like this, Qin Huairu felt very happy. She just wanted He Yushui to make a fuss, and it would be best if the two families went their separate ways. Then his silly Zhu would come back to her again. However, even though she thought this in her heart, she still had to pretend to be a good person on the surface.

"Yu Shui, you are still young, you'd better not get involved in these things. That Xiao Li is a very evil person! He is not someone a student like you can deal with. Last time he even poked the old lady's roof." Qin Huairu said with concern.

"Sister Qin, I know you are doing this for my own good, but my silly brother can swallow this, but I can't. I'm going to find him now and ask my silly brother to come back." He Yushui said.

"Hey! Yu Shui! I can't stop you. You'd better talk nicely and don't make trouble. After all, we all live in the same courtyard and we see each other every day. It's not good to make things too awkward. Some things can be overcome by just enduring." Qin Huairu comforted.
