Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 389: Close relatives, godparents

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Xu Damao's face was full of disappointment, "Master, why do I feel like I'm at a disadvantage!?"

"Hehe, big brother, what did you suffer from Bai's two daughters-in-law?" Sha Zhu said happily.

"Silly Zhu, don't act like you've gotten an advantage. Remember, I'm your benefactor. I don't expect you to sacrifice your life in return, but you have to be humble in front of me, right?" Xu Damao said angrily.

"Come on, come on, big brother. This is a very low request. I will definitely be humble when I see you in the future. I will be even more of a grandson than your grandson." Sha Zhu said happily.

"Silly Zhu, let me tell you, if my grandson misses you, I will beat him up every day."

"It's okay, you're not my grandson, go get beaten up."

"Ah... you two are really enemies that can't be separated," Li Kangri said speechlessly, "It's all right now. I have something else to do and will go back soon."

"No, Master, I have something to do. Didn't you just say that if I give birth to another daughter, she will also be Shazhu's daughter-in-law? You have to explain this to me clearly. What if I give birth to two?" Xu Damao said anxiously.

"If you give birth to two idiots, you have to give birth to one more." Li Kangri said.

"No way!"

"This is fate. It is destined that his child will be your child," Li Kangri explained.

"Master, this won't do. You have to think of a solution for me, or Sha Zhu will divorce his wife, and I won't lend her to him anymore."

"That's impossible! How could I divorce Lily?" Sha Zhu objected immediately.

"Silly Zhu, you owe me, you have no reason to object."

"That won't work. We have to pay the debt. There's nothing we can do about it." Sha Zhu said.

"Yes, there is another way." Li Kangri said.

"Is there any other way?" Xu Damao asked happily, "Master, what is it?"

"Let the Pillar Child be half your child."

"Ah! Doesn't that mean we still have to get married?" Xu Damao said speechlessly.

On the side, He Yuzhu heard this and immediately understood what Li Kangri meant, so he laughed and said, "Big Brother, you claim to be the smartest person in our hospital, but you can't even think straight. Is marriage the only way to get married?"

After Sha Zhu said this, Xu Damao immediately understood, "Master, do you mean to become godfathers? I will be the godfather of Sha Zhu's son?"

"Well," Li Kangri nodded and replied, "As long as he has one and you recognize him, your troubles will be solved."

"Okay, okay, for the sake of my descendants, I will be the godfather," Xu Damao said with a smile, "Shazhu, did you hear that? Tonight, ask your He Tie to come over and acknowledge me as your godfather."

"Okay, even if I repay your favor, no problem," Sha Zhu agreed immediately, "But Xu Damao, it's not that simple to recognize a godfather. The proper etiquette still needs to be followed. My son can't call you godfather for nothing."

"It's no big deal. At most I can give you less betrothal gift in the future." Xu Damao said proudly.

As they were talking, Lou Xiao'e walked in, followed by Yu Li and the four children. "Hey, you guys are already talking about the bride price? Didn't Xu Xiao say you don't agree?"

"What can I do if I don't agree? She's grown up now and I can't control her anymore. Let her do whatever she wants!" Xu Damao said dissatisfiedly.

After saying that, he looked at his two sons with a bad face. Seeing Xu Damao like this, Sha Zhu quickly stood up and changed the subject, "Lily, why are you here?"

"It was your two daughters who insisted on dragging me to find Sister Lou, saying that the senior brother disagreed with their plan and asked me to find a solution, so..."

"It's okay. He has to agree even if he doesn't want to. We have already discussed it. Do they have the final say on the children's affairs?"

"Really?" Yu Li laughed, "I was scared to death. Xu Xiao said that the senior brother looked very unhappy."

"Xu Xiao, don't pay attention to your father. Your master has already read your fortune. It's destined by heaven." Sha Zhu said to Xu Xiao and the others.

"Really?" Xu Xiao looked at Xu Damao in disbelief.

"Don't look at me. I'll pretend I never gave birth to you two. At worst, I can give birth to another one." Xu Damao said angrily.

"Xiao Li, what's going on? Why do you sound a little confused to me?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"Sister Xiao'e, come and sit down first, and we'll talk later."

So, just like that, after Lou Xiao'e and the others sat down, Li Kangri told them everything that had just happened.

After hearing what Li Kangri said, the four children stared in shock, especially He Yu. After being shocked, he suddenly became curious, "Master, is this true? If you and Uncle Damao hadn't helped my dad, my dad would have married the half of the Qin family? This is too unbelievable, right?"

"He Yu, what are you talking about?" Sha Zhu said dissatisfiedly.

"Hahaha, He Yu, let me tell you, this is true. Everyone in the hospital knows it, and your mother knows it too. Your father was the one who followed the widow and took advantage of her." Xu Damao laughed.

"Mom, is it true?" He Yu asked.

"Don't listen to your Uncle Xu's nonsense. He is just trying to save your father's face! Don't ask about it now. Mom will talk to you about it when we have time." Yu Li said.

"Yu Li, you are just lying with your eyes open," Xu Damao said, "Daughter-in-law, when you have time in the future, come and ask me. I will tell you that I will definitely tell you all the glorious deeds of your father."

Hearing Xu Damao calling her his daughter-in-law, He Yu was so happy! She was not shy and said directly, "Dad, I will go to your house tonight, and you tell me and Xu Xiao."

"He Yu, you are a heartless person. You forgot about your father now that you have a father-in-law. Look at the way you call that father, he is much more affectionate than you are to me." Sha Zhu said sourly.

"Dad, you are my real dad, why am I unhappy?"

"You heartless little thing. I was planning to give you some dowry, but now it's gone." Sha Zhu said angrily.

"Daughter-in-law, we are not short of money. The money your father has is not even as much as my son's pocket money." Xu Damao said proudly.

……

Li Kangri was speechless watching the two bickering. Finally, Lou Xiaoe spoke up, "Alright, you two enemies, didn't you say you wanted to be godparents? Let's go now. I happen to have time tonight. I'm busy the rest of the time!"

"Ezi, do you agree?" Xu Damao said happily.

"Agree to what?"

"Give birth to a child! Otherwise, what's the point of recognizing each other as godparents?" Xu Damao said.

"I didn't say I agreed! Let's acknowledge the godparents first, and we can talk about the other things later. I may not have the time."

"No! Ezi, this matter cannot be delayed. I'm getting old and can't be delayed. Money can be earned at any time, but children cannot be born at any time." Xu Damao said anxiously.

"We'll discuss this when we get home. Now let's go to the restaurant."

"Then I'll take that as your agreement."
