Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 203 Forget the Dowry

After a few steps, Li Kangri and his apprentice arrived at He Yuzhu's house. When they saw the two coming in, Yu Li greeted them with a smile, and then, like a good wife, she took the lunch box from Sha Zhu's hand and said, "Master, you are here too?"

"Well, didn't Zhuzi ask me to help him deal with some things?" Li Kangri said with a smile.

After saying that, he looked at Director Wang and said, "Director Wang is here too!"

Director Wang was delighted when she saw Li Kangri. She knew that with Master Sha Zhu's arrival, the problem would be easily solved. She was very convinced of Li Kangri. When she was dealing with the old lady's affairs some time ago, she asked her husband to learn more about Li Kangri and found out that this guy was not only born into a good family and had a good father, but he also had connections. Many people had asked him to see a doctor for their illnesses, all of which were difficult and complicated.

"Well, didn't He Yushui come to me? And asked me to mediate things at home." Director Wang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's all sit down and start now! We need to eat later," said Li Kangri.

Then, several people sat down, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

"He Yushui, tell me what you think." Director Wang said.

"I don't have any idea. Either I get a dowry of three turns and one ring, or I split the family, and the money my father sent me is given to me." He Yushui said.

After He Yushui finished speaking, Yu Li shouted, "You wishful thinking, it's impossible. Now I tell you seriously, there is not a cent of dowry. As for the house, you can divide it if you want. Isn't it just this broken house? It's still under the name of Zhuzi's father. If you want a share, go find your father."

Seeing that both the aunt and the sister-in-law were very angry, Director Wang didn't know what to say. He could only look at Li Kangri and said, "Xiao Li, you are the master of He Yuzhu and Yu Li, you have something to say."

"Okay," Li Kangri looked at Yu Li, "Lili, tell me what you think, why don't you prepare a dowry for your sister."

"Master, let me tell you about this one by one. First of all, from the time I got married until now, she has never called me sister-in-law. I know the reason. Maybe the sister-in-law in her mind is the widow Qin next door. Second, a younger sister doesn't want a dowry. Isn't it given by her family? And she keeps asking for it. She thinks she is the emperor's daughter. Third, as for the money sent by Zhuzi's father, it is only about one thousand yuan in total. Zhuzi raised her from the age of six to eighteen, and she even went to high school. Do you think this money is enough? Anyway, I have only one thing to say. With her attitude, she won't get a penny of dowry." Yu Li chattered.

After hearing what Yu Li said, Director Wang agreed deeply, so she said, "What He Yuzhu's wife said makes sense, but it would be embarrassing if you didn't accompany her at all, right?"

"Director Wang, there are so many unpleasant things to hear. How about I tell everyone that He Yushui wanted to push the widow to his brother? See if people will say something bad about me?" Yu Li said.

"Haha, Lily, don't say anything yet. About He Yushui, tell me, is what Yu Li said right?" Li Kangri asked.

"No, my brother took several thousand from Yi Zhonghai, how could it be less than a thousand? She lied, don't think I don't know, you know this too." He Yushui shouted.

"Well, I do know about this, but except for the one thousand, the rest was given to me. That was the kickback that Zhuzi promised to give me. Otherwise, do you think he could get the money? Otherwise, do you think you would know that He Daqing sent you money?" Li Kangri said with a smile.

"What?" He Yushui shouted, "Why do you want so much?"

"That's my business and has nothing to do with you. As long as Zhuzi agrees, I don't need to explain it to you." Li Kangri said.

On the side, Yu Li was very happy when she heard that Li Kangri was helping her, but she knew that her master had given all the money to her.

"You... wuwuwu, Director Wang, please give me some justice." He Yushui cried.

"This... this is something we both agreed to. What can I say?" Director Wang said, "He Yuzhu, is this the case?"

"Director Wang, this is what happened. This was the premise my master told me that Yi Zhonghai had withheld my money. He said he would help me find some money, but the extra compensation had to be given to him. I agreed at that time." Sha Zhu lied.

"Brother, are you stupid? Giving him so much money?" He Yushui said anxiously.

"He Yushui, if it weren't for the master, I wouldn't even be able to marry a wife, so I would be happy even if you gave it all to him. How many people in this courtyard want me to marry a wife? Including you, you don't want to, right?" Sha Zhu said.

"But, but, I can't give you that much anyway." He Yushui said angrily.

"Okay, the money has been given to me, and it's impossible to take it back. Yu Li is right about this. Zhuzi has raised you for twelve years, and the money may not be enough. So let's just forget about your father's money. As for the dowry you mentioned, it won't sound good if you don't give it. I've made the decision on this matter. I'll give it according to what an ordinary family gives, two washbasins, two thermoses, two towels, and two quilts. As for the betrothal gift, I don't want it. What do you think, Zhuzi?" Li Kangri made the decision.

"I have no objection." said Sha Zhu.

"No, no," He Yushui was almost crying, "You said before that you would bring a bicycle. I would be so embarrassed if I don't have a bicycle, wuwuwu..." He Yushui cried.

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's possible or not. Just like Lily said, do you think you are the emperor's daughter?" Li Kangri said speechlessly, "You are just the daughter of an ordinary family, even worse than an ordinary family. Your mother is gone, your father ran away, and your brother still has some conscience to raise you. Director Wang, what do you think of what I say?"

"Well, I think it's good. That's it. I can't control anything else." Director Wang said.

"Wow, Li Kangri, you also have a sister. Will you accompany your sister with these when she gets married?" He Yushui cried.

"Haha, my sister brought a lot of dowry when she got married, including a house, a ring, and money. What's more, can you compare with my sister? She listens to me and is very well-behaved. She treats me like a father to an elder brother." Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Yes, how can you compare to Master's Aunt? Look at how much she bought for Sicong? A small quilt, small clothes, milk bottles, milk powder, and she even cooks for Master's Wife every day. What about you? What have you done?" Yu Li said contemptuously, "Don't even mention things. You don't even know what your niece's name is now? Shameless thing, I think it would be more appropriate for you to ask your sister Qin for these dowries. She is your biological sister, humph!"

"Wow, you are not human beings, you bully me, Director Wang, I want to divide the family, I want to divide the family, I want to divide the house." He Yushui cried.

"The house belongs to my dad, and it still belongs to us. I haven't even seen the title deed. If you want to, go find him!" He Yuzhu said. He was telling the truth, he had indeed never seen the title deed.

"Wuwuwu... Director Wang, are you just going to watch them bully me?" He Yushui continued to cry.

"He Yushui, what are you talking about? You are being unreasonable. This is all I can do. Don't come to me next time. I am doing this in a thankless job." Director Wang said angrily, "That's it. I'm going back first. What kind of people are you?"

After saying that, Director Wang said goodbye to Li Kangri and left the He family directly.

"Zhu Zi, I'm leaving too."
