Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 314: Notify Yi Zhien, the grandmother and grandson are in love

"Ji'en's father is waiting for you at the door! I'll make some breakfast for you first, you go and greet him." Wang Shuixiang said.

"Okay, Auntie, you're busy."

After saying that, Li Yuanjun took his coat and walked towards the door.

When I arrived at the door, Yi Zhonghai was waiting there with an anxious and sad look on his face.

"Is there anything wrong?" Li Yuanjun said coldly. He didn't like this man either. To be precise, no one in the Li family liked Yi Zhonghai.

"It's like this, reinforcements. Zhien's mother passed away this morning. You all served in the army together. Do you think you can contact him? Ask him to come back early to handle his mother's funeral. You know, I only know the address. If I write a letter, he will miss it. Could you please help me?" Yi Zhonghai said humbly.

Upon hearing the news of Li Fengjuan's death, Li Yuanjun instantly recalled the conversation between his brother and Yi Zhien. He thought his brother was really awesome as he could guess this. He didn't know about Li Kangri's fortune-telling.

"Reinforcements, is there a problem? Sorry to bother you, can you hurry up?" Yi Zhonghai pleaded again.

"Oh, I'm thinking about something else. It's okay. I'll make a call now. Wait for me."

After saying that, the reinforcements went directly to the living room.

"Hello, is this the regiment communications office? I'm Li Yuanjun from the Eighth Company. Could you please transfer me to our company communications office?"

"OK, wait."

After a while, a voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, who are you?"

"Xiao Mao, it's me, Li Yuanjun."

"Hey, instructor, aren't you on vacation?"

"I'm on vacation. I have something urgent to do with Yi Zhien from the fourth row. Go and call him for me."

"Okay, instructor."

Soon, Yi Zhien got the phone, "Reinforcements, what do you want from me?"

"Jie'en, here's the thing: I have some bad news for you. Get ready."

"What news? We still need to prepare. Could something have happened to my mother?" Yi Zhien guessed.

"No way, you can guess that."

"Really? Tell me quickly, is my mother sick?" Yi Zhien asked anxiously.

"Jie'en, it's a bit serious. Your mother passed away this morning. Your father is waiting at the door of my house right now. He asked me to ask you to come back to handle your mother's funeral..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a beeping sound from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, this kid is so impatient. Never mind. He will definitely come as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuanjun walked out slowly.

Seeing Li Yuanjun, Yi Zhonghai asked from a distance, "Reinforcements, have you contacted them?"

"I've contacted him. I think he should be packing up and heading back now. He should be here in about a day and a half."

Hearing that his son had been contacted, Yi Zhonghai felt relieved, "Thank you for the reinforcements! When Zhien comes back, I'll ask him to thank you very much."

"It's okay, it's just a phone call. Okay, you can go back and get busy. I still have some things to do!"

After saying that, Li Yuanjun turned around and went back to the house.

So, just like that, in less than an hour, the news of Li Fengjuan's death spread to every corner of the yard.

After Yi Zhonghai returned home, he dressed Li Fengjuan in her newest clothes and then went out to order a coffin. There was no other way, as only he could do this since his son was not around.

At the Jia family, the family gathered in the house to eat breakfast and chatted while eating.

"I didn't expect that this chicken that doesn't lay eggs would be short-lived. It died so suddenly. But it's a good thing that it died. For a person without a son, it's better to die early than to live!" Jia Zhang said happily.

She had been extremely jealous of Li Fengjuan. The man she found was more capable than her. Even though they didn't give birth to a son, Yi Zhonghai treated her very well. Wasn't she jealous to death?

"Mom, please keep your voice down. Don't let anyone hear you. It will affect our future. I told you right away that she already has a son." Qin Huairu said.

"Does that count? I'm talking about my biological children," said Jia Zhang.

"Hey, Mom, don't dare to tell anyone outside. We still want Xiaodang to marry Zhien! From now on, our two families will be relatives."

When Jia Zhang heard that Xiaodang was marrying Yi Zhien, a scene suddenly appeared in her mind, a scene of her and Yi Zhonghai living together. In the scene, she spent the Yi family's savings and enjoyed Yi Zhonghai's care. It felt wonderful.

As she thought about it, Jia Zhang's saliva flowed to the corners of her mouth.

Seeing Jia Zhang like this, Bang Geng almost vomited the dumpling soup he had just eaten, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Do you smell the meat? Why are you drooling?"

"It's okay. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I've been drooling all the time. Maybe I haven't eaten meat for a long time and I miss it!" Jia Zhang quickly explained.

On the side, Qin Huairu's mind was as clear as a mirror. This shameless old man must be horny. Almost instantly, she guessed what Jia Zhang was thinking. But she was happy with it. As long as Jia Zhang really married Yi Zhonghai, wouldn't the Yi family's house belong to her son? It was more direct than Xiaodang marrying Yi Zhien.

Just as Qin Huairu was thinking about something, Xiaodang said, "Mom, do you think Yi Zhien would look down on me? I'm a little worried."

"Hey, how could that be? You have to have confidence in yourself. My daughter is so beautiful, she still has to beg you. Mom will talk to you later. I think Yi Zhien will be back soon."

"Mom, is it true?" Xiao Dang said happily. She was a little anxious now. He was twenty years old this year and it was time for him to get married.

"Of course it's true, and you have to know that Yi Zhonghai is very likely to have the final say in Yi Zhien's marriage, so you should behave well in front of Yi Zhonghai these days, such as cooking for him, showing concern for him, and making him recognize you." Qin Huairu analyzed.

"Mom, you really understand. I'll go check on Yi Zhonghai now. He should be around by now."

After saying that, Xiaodang ran out.

"Hey, I'm free anyway, so I might as well go take a look."

After saying this, Jia Zhang also ran out.

"Bah, you shameless old man, you always talk about me, but you are not like that yourself, you old slut." Qin Huairu cursed after Jia Zhang left.

"Mom, do you mean...Mrs. Jia has taken a fancy to Yi Zhonghai?" Bang Geng asked.

"Haha, you're right, can't you see it?"

"Oh, that's disgusting." Banggeng shuddered.

"Bang Geng, this is a good thing for you. If Mrs. Jia succeeds, won't the Yi family's house be yours?"

"Hey, Mom, you're right. It's much better than Xiaodang marrying Yi Zhien."

"Well, you should be more diligent. You have nothing to do anyway. Go to the Yi family to help more. Mom still has to go to work and doesn't have time."

"I know, Mom. I will." Bang Geng agreed. He would not seek bad luck if he was asked to go to a house where someone had died.
