Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 190 Wang Tianchang's Troubles

Hearing what Li Kangri said, Li Renyi was not happy. "You bastard, are you serious? This is not fun. Will I be able to sleep in the future? Isn't this annoying me?"

"Haha, do you believe it?" Li Kangri said with a smile.

"You've already said that I have three knives under my body. How can I not be worried? Can you tell me if there is any way to resolve it?" Li Renyi asked. It's not that he really believed it, but he felt uncomfortable when he said this kind of thing.

"Yes, anti-Japanese war. If what you said is true, you can't just watch your father suffer, right?" Political Commissar Ma also echoed.

"There is no solution to this, but your life will not be in danger. At most you will lose your job. Someone will save you when the time comes."

"What do you mean?" Political Commissar Ma interrupted.

“You see, the character fork can also be called a spear, and if you remove a character from the top it becomes righteousness, which also means two people holding up a heart. So this means that someone will save you when the time comes, or two people will save you, so don’t worry.” Li Kangri explained.

"You're talking nonsense. Well, I feel better when you say that. I'll be fine today. Please prepare the medicine you gave me as soon as possible. If it can be cured, several of my comrades-in-arms still have problems! I may have to trouble you then." Li Renyi said.

"It's fine as long as you have money. No money, no deal. I'm leaving!" After saying that, Li Kangri actually got up and walked out of the office.

After Li Kangri left, Political Commissar Ma asked, "Old Li, why do I feel that your son looks like a Taoist priest?"

"Hey, I'm just kidding. I don't know either."

"Don't tell me, I've found out everything. Although he asks for a lot of money, he can really cure diseases! I know several of them. Look, this one can fight, cure diseases, and do some supernatural things. Aren't he a Taoist priest?" Political Commissar Ma said.

"I don't know about that. The bastard and I are not close, so he won't tell me these things. Whatever! Let's see first if he can really cure my leg." Li Renyi said indifferently.

"I think it's okay. Just wait! When the time comes, we must ask him to check on our old friends." Political Commissar Ma said.

"That's no problem. Didn't you hear what he said? As long as you have money, it's fine." Li Renyi said speechlessly. He was unhappy when he mentioned that his son asked for his money.

"Hey, your son is a money-grubber. I guess he makes at least half of his money from treating patients. Hehe, what do you think, Old Li?"

"I have no choice. You see, he even charges me for medical treatment. Maybe he is afraid of being poor! Life in my hometown is very poor." Li Renyi sighed.

……

On the other side, when Li Kangri returned home, everyone was already waiting for him to eat. He didn't say anything and quickly sat down and started eating.

Halfway through the meal, Li Kangri saw that Li Yaozu looked troubled and seemed to want to say something, so he asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to say?"

"Hey, it's anti-Japanese war. I've been here for a long time. I can't eat anymore if you guys eat like this every day. At first I thought it was the same in your courtyard! But I found that the food in other families is not much better than that in our village. You guys..." said Li Yaozu.

Hearing Li Yaozu say this, Li Kangri knew that he was not used to it yet. After being poor all his life, it was hard to accept it all of a sudden. So he said, "Grandpa, we have tickets and money. We earned it, not stolen or robbed it. Why are you worried? Just listen to me and eat."

"Your grandfather is right about resisting the Japanese. This is not the way to live. Mom agrees with what your grandfather said."

"Then eat steamed bread?" Li Kangri said speechlessly, "I don't care. Look at Yue'er and Sister Xiao'e, they are still breastfeeding!"

"Yes, ancestors, you don't have to worry too much about money. My family has enough, and my master also earns a lot. You can just eat it. Whatever you have, the money comes from a legitimate source, not from stealing or robbing. As for the people in the courtyard, if they want to eat, they can hurry up and make money! This is called more work, more pay. Isn't it the same when you farm?" Xu Damao echoed.

In order to piss off the deaf old lady, Xu Damao now calls Li Kangri's grandpa and grandma ancestors.

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Li Yaozu had no choice. This was the truth, but he just couldn't accept it at the moment.

After hesitating for a while, he said helplessly, "Okay, you are an adult now, I can't control you anymore, I will just enjoy the good life with you."

"Kang Ri, I also have something to tell you." At this time, Wang Tianchang said embarrassedly.

"Dad, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Don't be shy. I'm your son-in-law, so don't be polite." Li Kangri said with a smile.

After hearing what Li Kangri said, Wang Tianchang was still embarrassed to say it, so he looked at Wang Yue, meaning to ask his daughter to speak.

"Brother Kangri, my dad said he's getting sick from being bored. He can't take care of the children and he's stuck at home all day. He said he can't stand it and wants to go out and find something to do." Wang Yue said.

"Well...it seems so, but Dad, what can you do? I can't ask you to go to the factory to do those hard work, right? That's not easier than farming." Li Kangri said.

"I haven't thought about working in a factory. I want to find some odd jobs on the street, some lifting and moving stuff, and I can earn some money. I'm still young, and I can't just eat and drink for free here all day! I can't sit idle." Wang Tianchang explained.

"Hey, Dad, you're eating Yue'er's food. Didn't I tell you that before? You know that Yue'er's salary is not small, it's enough." Li Kangri said. At this time, he felt that Wang Tianchang was just embarrassed to ask him to support her.

"Brother Kangri, you are wrong. My dad is just bored. It's true that he is still young, less than 40 years old. It's really not good for him to be idle. Why don't you find him a job?" Wang Yue said, pulling Li Kangri.

"Yes, fight against the Japanese and find a job for your father. This will help reduce your burden and also help you make money." The Queen Mother also agreed.

"Okay, but I really don't know what kind of job to find for you. How about joining the security department?" Li Kangri suggested.

As soon as Li Kangri finished speaking, before Wang Tianchang could reply, Xu Damao said, "Master, I have an idea about Master's wife's father's work. Can I tell you?"

"Well, you said."

"Master, this is what I think. I think Master's wife's father can learn from me how to show movies! This way he can go around the village more often. What do you think?" Xu Damao suggested.

"Can I do it?" Wang Tianchang asked excitedly. He had seen a projector before, but he didn't think he could use it. However, he really wanted to try. When their village showed movies before, the projectionist was so awesome and he was very envious of him.

"Yes, it's very simple. Don't worry, Master's wife and father, I can definitely teach you. No problem, I will take care of it." Xu Damao said.

"Dad, do you really want to learn?" Li Kangri asked.

"I would like to learn if possible." Wang Tianchang said happily.
