Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

When Yi Zhonghai heard that Li Kangri was going to ask the street office to investigate, he was really panicked. They were setting a trap for him! If the street office found his uncle, would he still have a job? Would he still want to keep his reputation? What about his retirement?

For a moment, Yi Zhonghai's mind started working rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

"Yi Zhonghai, what are you thinking about?" Li Kangri said with a smile, "What do you think of my proposal just now? Can you give me some advice? If you don't say anything, I will assume that you agree with it by default! I will take Zhuzi to the street office tomorrow."

"Don't," Yi Zhonghai stopped him, "I admit it, it was me."

"That's you?"

Seeing that Li Kangri was not giving in, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to say, "The Li Laosi you mentioned is me, but I am also doing this for Zhuzi's sake. What good girl can a matchmaker introduce to me? I have already picked a girl for Zhuzi, and I will introduce her to him in a few days, so I..."

"Zhu Zi," Li Kangri called out, "Look how good the uncle is to you. He waited until you were twenty-six to introduce you to a girl. That girl must be very good. Yi Zhonghai, tell me who she is? Does Zhu Zi know her?"

"This, this, Zhuzi should know," Yi Zhonghai said with his head down, "She is the daughter of Liu Cheng from our workshop."

"Pfft!"

Xu Damao smiled.

"Yi Zhonghai, you have a good eye. I think my junior brother and Liu Yuhua are a perfect match. They are a match made in heaven."

"Yi Zhonghai, I'll fuck your ancestors."

"Snapped!"

Sha Zhu suddenly jumped up and slapped Yi Zhonghai on the head.

"Zhu Zi, what are you going to do?" Yi Zhonghai touched his head and stepped aside and said.

"What? Yi Zhonghai, what are you talking about? You ruined my blind date and found a fat woman to disgust me." Sha Zhu said angrily.

"What's wrong with being fat? Fat people are more fertile." Yi Zhonghai retorted.

"I'll beat you to death, you old beast, so you can marry me and take me home!"

As he said that, Sha Zhu was about to take action. He had been holding back for a long time, but now he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Zhu Zi, stop it. Can you believe what Yi Zhonghai said? Is he introducing Fatty to you? Haha," Li Kangri laughed, "He is deliberately disgusting you. In fact, he has always wanted to introduce Widow Qin to you. Yi Zhonghai, am I right?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard what Li Kangri said, his face was full of surprise. Only his wife and himself knew about this. How did Li Kangri know about it?

"Are you surprised? Don't worry, the surprise is yet to come. Let's put aside those calculations. Yi Zhonghai, you have to give an explanation for ruining Zhuzi's blind date, right?" Li Kangri said.

"What do you want to do?" Yi Zhonghai asked subconsciously.

"Haha, what should I do? Do you know that Zhuzi spent 500 yuan on this blind date?"

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Yi Zhonghai immediately became anxious, "Don't talk nonsense, how can a blind date cost so much money, are you trying to blackmail me? I can tell you, it's impossible!"

"Haha, you don't know this. Let me tell you, Zhuzi spent five yuan on groceries, the matchmaker asked for eight yuan, and gave me four hundred and eighty-seven yuan as consulting fees. Otherwise, how could he have thought of asking the matchmaker to find a widow for a blind date?" Li Kangri said leisurely.

"Li Kangri, you are clearly trying to extort money." Yi Zhonghai said angrily.

"Yes," Li Kangri said with a smile, "If you think it's extortion, just don't give it to me. Tomorrow I'll take Zhuzi to the street office to calculate the fee and see if it's reasonable. If you don't give it to me, don't you still have Li Laosi? Anyway, I'm sure I can get the money back."

"You..." Yi Zhonghai was shaking with anger. He turned around and looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Zhu Zi, do you really want to go against me? Don't you remember how good I was to you in the past? Now that you have a master, do you not recognize me anymore? Have a conscience as a human being."

Yes, you have to pick the soft persimmons, and it is obvious that Shazhu is the soft one.

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Sha Zhu angrily said, "You are so good to me, so good that you ruined my blind date. I don't want such goodness."

"Zhu Zi..." Yi Zhonghai called out in a long and sad voice.

"Haha, Zhuzi, do you see that? This is human nature. When I have no other choice but to deal with you, a soft one, you have to learn from me. What you learn from Yi Zhonghai is worth learning for a lifetime." Li Kangri said to Sha Zhu.

After hearing what Li Kangri said, Sha Zhu said nothing and just sat there quietly, as if thinking about something.

"Zhu Zi, do you really have to do this?" Yi Zhonghai asked again.

"Yi Zhonghai, don't ask anymore. I have the final say on my apprentice's affairs. Unless he doesn't recognize me as his master, you must give him the money. If you don't give it, Li Laosi will." Li Kangri said.

"Pillar..." Yi Zhonghai said angrily.

"Haha, that's enough, Damao, please see us off. It's almost time to go to bed."

"Okay!" Xu Damao said with a smile, "Yi Zhonghai, please come in!"

As he said this, Xu Damao made a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, I admit it. You'd better remember what happened today." Yi Zhonghai turned around and left angrily.

"Li Laosi, I will only give you ten minutes. I won't want any money after ten minutes. Please go to the street office on my own." Li Kangri shouted at Yi Zhonghai's back.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he almost stumbled and fell.

At the Yi family, an old lady was sitting by the bed anxiously waiting for Yi Zhonghai to come back. Just when she was about to go out to take another look, she saw Yi Zhonghai coming back angrily.

"Old Yi, what's going on? Is it true?"

"Give me five hundred first, and I'll talk to you later." Yi Zhonghai said.

When she heard that she needed money, the auntie got anxious. Money was the only thing that made her feel safe. "Lao Yi, what do you want the money for? You need another five hundred."

Seeing his wife's unwillingness, Yi Zhonghai could only explain, "Hey! Zhuzi knows that I ruined his blind date, and now he's teaming up with that little bastard from the Li family to blackmail me. I have no choice. If I don't give them the money, they'll go to the street office tomorrow."

"Ah! How did they know?" an old lady asked in surprise.

"Oh! It's all because of that little beast from the Li family. Zhuzi's blind date that day was a trap. It was set up and waiting for me to fall into it! Why do you think he cares about this?" Yi Zhonghai said in annoyance.

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Auntie didn’t know what to say. She was really surprised. How could Li Kangri, a newcomer, know all these things?

Seeing that the lady was still in a daze, Yi Zhonghai said, "Hurry up and get the money! He only gave me ten minutes."

"Oh, okay."

There was no other way, the aunt could only reluctantly take out the box hidden under the bed and count the pieces with great pain, as if she was cutting meat.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said excitedly, "We lent him two hundred last time. Can this be used to pay off the debt?"

"Hey! It's not like I didn't think about it. Now I've put a thorn in Zhuzi's heart. If I count these things now, we will eventually break up completely. Do you think so?" Yi Zhonghai said distressedly.
