Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 176 Discussions from Various Families

While the Li family was busy arranging accommodation, discussions broke out in the courtyard. In the front yard, Yang Ruihua was talking to Yan Fugui, "Old Yan, this courtyard is just as you expected. There is not enough accommodation for so many people."

"Haha, that's right. I've been there. No matter how you calculate it, there's still one room short! But I think his yard is big, maybe he will build a room!" Yan Fugui pinched his chin and calculated.

"Hey, wait for me to finish my words! The couple following Wang Yue seemed to be her parents. They were taken to Xu Damao's empty house." Yang Ruihua said, "I don't know if Xu Damao has a problem with his brain? Even if he is a master, he can't be so generous!"

"Oh! Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, I just saw it. It was brought in by Lou Xiaoe. Could it be fake?" Yang Ruihua said.

"Oh, I don't know either. Logically speaking, Xu Damao's behavior is not right. But never mind, have you heard who they are?" Yan Fugui asked again.

"Those two old ones are probably my grandparents. As for the woman, Li Qinghe was calling her mom just now. The remaining two should be Li Kangri's father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Hey, now we have seven more people in our courtyard, plus the two families of Xu Damao and Sha Zhu. Hey, with this calculation, it is obvious that the power of the Li family in this courtyard has already accounted for one-fourth of the world!" Yan Fugui sighed.

Just as Yan Fugui was sighing, Xu Damao came in with a few lunch boxes. There was a fragrance around him. Yan Fugui smelled it immediately, so he stopped Xu Damao and said, "Damo, what are you holding? It smells so good? This smell seems to have been smelled at the entrance of Quanjude."

"Hey, Uncle Er, it's a waste if you don't use your nose as a police dog. This is just roast duck!" Xu Damao said happily.

After saying that, he walked towards the backyard.

"Wait, Damao, let me ask you something. Why did you buy so many roast ducks?" Yan Fugui asked knowingly.

"Second Uncle, aren't you asking blindly? Didn't you see my master's elders are here? This is my honor to them. I ate a lot of their food when I went to my master's house." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Is that so! Haha, is your master's family here to visit? Or..." Yan Fugui found out. Although he already had a guess, he still wanted to confirm it.

"Second uncle, my master's family is not leaving. They will be our neighbors from now on." Xu Damao said with a smile, "Anything else? I still need to go back!"

"Oh, there is one more thing. I heard that your house is occupied by your master's family?" Yan Fugui asked.

"You know all this, Second Uncle, it seems that you still care about the people in the courtyard! But it's true, what's a big deal for a disciple to show his filial piety to his master by giving him a house? Even if he gives the whole house, it won't matter!" Xu Damao said.

After saying that, he went home humming a little tune.

The people around looked incredulous when they heard Xu Damao's words.

In the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were also discussing this matter. Li Fengjuan said, "Old Yi, I see that the courtyard is almost occupied by the Li family. Not to mention the large house they live in, you see they have brought two families here. I heard that they are his grandparents, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and his mother."

"Oh! There's nothing we can do. Look at Sha Zhu now. He is simply his lackey. He goes to his house for dinner every few days. Also, I heard from Qin Huairu that Sha Zhu designed to frame Bang Geng under the instructions of Li Kangri." Yi Zhonghai said helplessly.

"Oh, it would be great if we had a son or a daughter. Look at them, they even took their mother-in-law in to raise them. It's really enviable. Those people look like they are from the village. How can they be so lucky?" Li Fengjuan said jealously.

After hearing what Li Fengjuan said, Yi Zhonghai knew that his wife was still thinking about having a baby, but this did not suit his wishes. He wanted other people's children to support him in his old age, and he would have to pay for raising one himself, which was not cost-effective.

So he said, "Maybe they came to visit their relatives. How can they take so many people here to take care of them all at once? Did you see that the little beast of the Li family's wife is pregnant? I think she is here to take care of the child. She will definitely go back after the baby is born. It is impossible for her to take care of her father-in-law in his old age."

"Maybe. Just smell the smell. I wonder where they get so many food coupons and meat coupons to eat so well all day long," said Li Fengjuan.

"Hey, that little beast seems to have some background. With his father-in-law Xu Damao, it's normal for him to eat well." Yi Zhonghai said.

"If you hadn't mentioned Xu Damao, I would have forgotten about him. I heard that the little bastard's mother-in-law and her family moved into the empty house of the Xu family."

"Oh? This is a bit unbelievable. Logically speaking, Xu Damao is not a fool! You said Shazhu believed me, let's wait and see, maybe there is something fishy here?" Yi Zhonghai said, "By the way, it's almost time, let's cook! I'm hungry just by smelling this."

At the Jia family, Qin Huairu dragged her tired body back. She was almost exhausted in the past few months, because the things she could do were simple and she didn't need to learn anything at all. She just had to listen to the master chef and do her job. So she had no excuse to be lazy. She worked in the high temperature every day and now her skin was a little dark from the burn.

As soon as she got home, Qin Huairu ran to the inner room to change her clothes. Her clothes were always wet and smelly after get off work every day.

While she was changing her clothes, Jia Zhang came in and said, "Huai Ru, that little bastard from the Li family brought a whole family here. I heard that he also brought his mother-in-law. Tell me, is he a fool? He brought an outsider with him for no reason and kept him away from others. This courtyard is almost full of Li family members."

Hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu felt sad and thought of her parents. She wanted to bring her parents back, but she didn't have the conditions. Now she can't even support her own family. Fortunately, Bang Geng was not there, otherwise life would be really difficult.

"Mom, that's nonsense. He must be here to take care of me during the confinement period. Raising me? How is that possible?" Qin Huairu said.

"Well, you have a point. The little beast is not that kind. But there will be more people in the yard in the future. You haven't seen his family. They are all dressed in rags and look like farmers. How dare they come to the city? They are so shameless." Jia Zhang cursed, and she said all the words she had cursed in the afternoon.

"Mom, that's enough. That's someone else's business. I'm telling you, remember what happened before and don't provoke other people's family. Otherwise, you know the consequences. His family has connections, and it will be bad if they get involved again." Qin Huairu reminded.

Although she was eager for Jia Zhang to go in, she really couldn't leave her now, after all, someone had to take care of the child.
