Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 243 Political Commissar Ma is Here

"Just for a few days, I will go and talk to your Deputy Political Commissar Liu again." Li Kangri said.

"Talk again? Have you met him?"

"Yes, I met him in the morning. Otherwise, how could I have met Lao Li?" said Li Kangri.

"What did you talk about? How could he let Lao Li out?" Political Commissar Ma said, "If Lao Li came out, what would he have to do with it?"

"Haha, so, the condition he proposed is that Lao Li retire. It just so happens that I also want Lao Li to take a rest for a while. We can talk about other things later. The best thing for now is to live safely." Li Kangri explained.

"Old Li agreed?" Political Commissar Ma exclaimed.

"Uncle Ma, what you said, if you don't quit, you will be locked up, but if you quit, you can go home, what do you think?"

"But, but, this is a position that Lao Li has fought for most of his life!" said Political Commissar Ma.

"Uncle Ma, can this position be passed on to your son?" Li Kangri asked with a smile.

"You must be joking. That would be chaos." Political Commissar Ma said unhappily.

"That's it. It's just a matter of early or late. It's not that important. Retire early and enjoy life early. It's not like you won't get paid. I can afford it even if you don't get paid. What do you think, Uncle Ma?" Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Oh! It's fate. Forget it. Even I want to quit. It's really boring to work now. How could it turn out like this?" Political Commissar Ma said helplessly.

"Well said, Uncle Ma, if you don't want to be in cahoots with Deputy Political Commissar Liu, then I think resigning might be a good thing," said Li Kangri.

After hearing what Li Kangri said, Political Commissar Ma pondered for a while and then said, "Kangri, tell me the truth. Have you figured out something? I don't believe your tricks anymore. Look at your father. He really figured it out for you."

"Uncle Ma, please don't hurt me. What time is it now? I might have to go to jail! I don't want to sleep in the cowshed." Li Kangri said fearfully.

"You little brat, we're all on the same side now, how could they betray you?" Political Commissar Ma said unhappily, "Tell me what you want to say."

"Won't betray me?" Li Kangri asked seriously.

"Nonsense. Lao Li and I are friends for life and death. I am your comrade-in-arms, and you can trust my back to me." Political Commissar Ma said.

"Okay, Uncle Ma, I tell you, this situation will not end completely until ten years later, and then our lives will get back on track." Li Kangri said.

"Ten years?" Political Commissar Ma was surprised. "That long?"

"This is what I calculated. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. So I said just now, if you don't want to be in cahoots with your Deputy Political Commissar Liu, then just withdraw! If you don't withdraw, others will find ways to force you to withdraw. Why bother?" Li Kangri said.

"Oh! Forget it, just retire, just retire. But I also have to talk to him. I'm going to retire early, so your salary and benefits can't be reduced. And I still have to live in this house." Political Commissar Ma said firmly.

"Uncle Ma, believe me, you will be glad for your decision today in the future."

"I believe you. You are a convincing charlatan." Political Commissar Ma said with a smile.

"Haha, Uncle Ma, since you said I'm a charlatan, let me tell you something again. When I met Deputy Political Commissar Liu today, I looked at his face. Guess what I saw?" Li Kangri said with a smile.

"What did you see? Could it be that he will have a successful career?" asked Political Commissar Ma.

"No, I think he will be in danger of being killed soon, and his body will be torn into pieces." Li Kangri said shockingly. The reason he said that was because he was angry with Deputy Political Commissar Liu in the morning. Originally, the higher-ups had already made arrangements in advance, but since the person who made the arrangements was not his direct backer, he made things difficult for him everywhere. At that time, Li Kangri had the intention to kill him. He was going to take him into the Shanhe Shejitu and feed him to the wild beasts, but Li Kangri felt that this matter had to be dealt with after Old Li came out.

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Political Commissar Ma exclaimed, "Kangri, is this true?"

"If you believe it, it's true. If you don't believe it, it's false. I have something else to ask of you. Xiao Liu doesn't want to work anymore. He wants to work in the security department of our factory. Can you help him with the demobilization procedures?" Li Kangri took the opportunity to say, "I'll take care of the factory entry myself."

"Hmm?" Political Commissar Ma looked at Xiao Liu, "You don't want to do this anymore?"

"Yes, political commissar, this job is boring. I want to join the anti-Japanese war. I have been so depressed during this period. Every day I am either doing this or that. It is meaningless at all." Xiao Liu said.

"Do you think the factory doesn't do this?" Political Commissar Ma said, "Nowadays, there is no place that doesn't do this."

"Hehe, Uncle Ma, the current boss of our factory is my brother Li. It's nice to be under the shade of a big tree, and there won't be any trouble." Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Hey, I figured it out. You must have planned this long ago, right?" Political Commissar Ma guessed.

"No, absolutely not. Brother Li and I were introduced to each other by Lao Li." Li Kangri said with a smile, "Uncle Ma, let's talk business. Can Xiao Liu's matter be handled?"

"Yes, of course it can be done. That traitor Liu is hoping that Xiao Liu will get out of here. This is something he would love to have. He will have to agree once I say it." Political Commissar Ma said.

"That's good. I'll leave this matter to you, Uncle Ma. Do it as quickly as possible." Li Kangri said.

"No problem, I'll do it tomorrow. Can your father keep his house for the anti-Japanese war? I still want to be his neighbor, otherwise it will be so lonely when I retire!" said Political Commissar Ma.

"No problem, this house can definitely be saved, Uncle Ma, it's almost past noon, I have to take the reinforcements to eat first."

"Oh, it's my fault. I forgot. You see, I came here to bring meals to the children. You should call them out to eat." Political Commissar Ma said.

"The reinforcements come out for dinner." Li Kangri shouted.

Hearing Li Kangri's call, the three children ran out at once.

"Hello Uncle Ma, can we not eat this lunch box today? We still want to save room for the food my sister cooks!" said Li Yuanjun.

"Hey, you three little traitors, now that you have brothers and sisters, do you look down on Uncle Ma's simple meals?" Political Commissar Ma said unhappily.

"Okay then, can we eat, Uncle Ma?" Li Yuanjun said aggrievedly.

Seeing Li Yuanjun's expression, Political Commissar Ma laughed, "Brat, Uncle Ma, I was just joking with you. I wish you were taken away by your brother, so that I don't have to worry about you three all day long."

"Really?" Li Yuanjun said happily.

"Really? Go ahead! I'm going back too."
