Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 402 Yi Zhien Returns

Just like that, three days later at noon, an unexpected person came to the yard.

Yes, Yi Zhien came. After arriving at the courtyard, Yi Zhien went straight to the central courtyard.

Coming back to the place where he grew up, Yi Zhien felt a little sad. In an instant, he thought of his mother, the mother who had always been very good to him.

Just as he was staring at the house in a daze, Yan Fugui came out and asked, "Zhi En, are you Yi Zhi En?"

"Yes, Mr. Yan, I'm Yi Zhien," Yi Zhien looked up at Yan Fugui and said, "I heard from the reinforcements that you are living in my house now, is that right?"

"Yes, yes, hey, Zhien! I've been waiting for you. It's good that you're back, otherwise I don't know who to give the rent to," Yan Fugui said with a smile.

Hearing Yan Fugui's words, Yi Zhien was filled with disgust. Li Yuanjun had told him that Yan Fugui was trying to fish in troubled waters.

"Teacher Yan, let's forget about the rent. Can you first tell me what you talked about with my dad? Did you sign a lease contract?" Yi Zhien asked.

"No, we are so familiar with each other that we didn't sign. But your father told me to live here until I die," Yan Fugui said cunningly, "But don't worry, I will always pay you the rent."

"Teacher Yan, since we haven't signed the contract, forget it. I have no plan to rent this house. I want to sell it, so you should find a place to move to in the next few days!" Yi Zhien said.

"Ah! Are you going to sell it?" Yan Fugui said anxiously.

"Yeah, I'm not here, why not buy it?"

"No, Zhien! Kid, I don't think you are short of money. You can't sell this house now. It's better to wait for it to be demolished. You will get more compensation then, do you know that?" Yan Fugui deceived.

"Teacher Yan, don't tell me this. I know what you are thinking," Yi Zhien said impatiently. "The house is mine. You don't need to remind me what to do with it. If you want to buy it, I will sell it to you at the market price. You can wait for the demolition. If you don't want to buy it, then stop talking nonsense and go find a house quickly."

Seeing Yi Zhien getting impatient, Yan Fugui had no choice but to say, "Can I move out at the end of this month? I'll pay the rent until the end of the month."

"No problem. Since my dad has collected your rent, I certainly can't kick you out. But you have to move out at the end of the month. I will talk to the buyer about it." Yi Zhien emphasized.

Just talking! Qin Huairu came over, and she said angrily, "Yi Zhien, you still have the nerve to come back. You didn't come when Old Yi was alive, but you came as soon as Old Yi died. Are there any people like you? I tell you, Old Yi told me that this house is for me, don't think of taking it all for yourself."

Seeing Qin Huairu, Yi Zhien's face was full of contempt. He really felt disgusted with this woman, so he sneered, "Qin Banbian, if you thought the nonsense you said was useful, you wouldn't have come to me to say this, am I right?"

"Yi Zhien, you are such a heartless person. I tell you, you have already written a letter to sever the father-son relationship with Old Yi. What right do you have to rob my house?"

"Really? How come I don't know? Have I severed ties with my dad? Who told you? My dad?" Yi Zhien sneered.

"You, you are so shameless. You wrote that in the letter. I have read it. Don't deny it."

"Qin Banbian, stop talking nonsense," Yi Zhien said calmly, "The reason why I didn't come back to see my dad all these years is because of your family. You are a filthy bunch. Not only did you plot to have my dad marry that fat woman from your family, you also plotted to have me marry your rotten daughter. You're dreaming. I, Yi Zhien, am not my dad. I'm not that easy to fool."

"You're talking nonsense. When did we ever plot against you, Old Yi? That was what Old Yi wanted," Qin Huairu said angrily. "But you, have you ever given Old Yi a penny in all these years? You have the nerve to ask for the house. Bah, shame on you, you unfilial son."

"Qin Banbian, I am too lazy to talk to you about this. You are an outsider and I cannot talk to you. If you have the ability, go to court and sue me. See if people believe what you say." Yi Zhien said contemptuously.

"Qin Huairu, do you really want to go in?" Li Yuanjun walked out from the backyard, "If you really want to go, I'll take you away now."

Seeing Li Yuanjun coming, Qin Huairu's momentum immediately weakened, "Li Yuanjun, this Yi Zhien really didn't support Old Yi, everyone has seen it, don't even think about helping him grab the house."

"Qin Huairu, let me ask you, what does this have to do with you? Come on, tell me. Think about it carefully before you speak!" Li Yuanjun said with a smile.

"I, I, I won't talk to you anymore. Your Li family is just bullying others by taking advantage of their power."

After saying that, Qin Huairu went home with an angry face. There was nothing she could do.

After Qin Huairu left, Li Yuanjun looked at Yi Zhien and said, "Zhien, why didn't you come directly to me? Why are you wasting time talking to that bitch?"

"I just came to check out the house, but she came to cause trouble. I was so angry that I said a few words, didn't I?"

"Okay, let's go to my house for dinner first. My wife cooked several dishes knowing you were coming!"

"Then I won't be polite. I just happened to visit my sister-in-law."

……

After lunch, Li Yuanjun called Li Kangri and told him about the house. After knowing that Yi Zhien wanted to sell the house, Li Kangri called Sha Zhu directly.

So, in the afternoon, Sha Zhu and Yu Li came to Li Yuanjun's house in the backyard with the money.

After seeing Sha Zhu enter the room, Yi Zhien quickly stood up and greeted him, "Uncle Zhu, do you still recognize me? Yi Zhien."

"I know him. How could I not know him? It's been many years since you came back?" Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"Haha, Uncle Zhuzi, you know, Yi Zhonghai and I..."

"Hey, don't talk about him. I feel bad after hearing that," Sha Zhu said after sitting down. "How is it? Are you married?"

"I'm married, and my child is over one year old."

"That's great. My two daughters are getting married at the end of this month. You can come and have a drink at the wedding." Sha Zhu invited, "Let's live in harmony from your generation on. Don't be like Yi Zhonghai, calculating this and that, making the courtyard that should be harmonious a mess."

"Okay, I'll tell you when the time comes."

"Okay," Sha Zhu said cheerfully, "Now let's talk about this house. My master said that he will give it to you at the highest market price. I have brought the money with me. Do you think there is any problem? If there is no problem, the deal is done."

"No problem, Uncle Zhuzi, thank you. My family is really sad, otherwise I wouldn't..."

"I know. My master said so."
