Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 271 Happy Li Fengjuan

Hearing what Li Kangri said, Li Yuanjun said, "Zhi En, my brother is indeed a charlatan and a miracle doctor, so I believe what he says."

"Brother Li, it's not that I don't believe you, but this is a bit too much..." Yi Zhong Zhien said.

"It's okay. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Just treat it as what I said. The reason I told you this is to ask you, if your mother is gone, will you still support Yi Zhonghai? If you don't, then I will help you today. If you do, then you can go back!" Li Kangri said.

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Li Yuanjun became excited, "Ji En, what do you think?"

"Brother Li, if my mother really died of me, I...I will not have any contact with Yi Zhonghai anymore." Yi Zhien said.

When Li Kangri heard Yi Zhien calling Yi Zhonghai Yi Zhonghai, he knew that Yi Zhonghai must be mean to Yi Zhien. Yi Zhien also knew Yi Zhonghai's purpose, and that what was between them was just a deal.

"Okay, haha, then you should work harder in the army, strive to be promoted, and stay in the army." Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Brother, are you willing to help Ji Eun?" Li Yuanjun asked excitedly.

"Can't you hear it?" Li Kangri said speechlessly.

Hearing the definite answer, Li Yuanjun said happily, "Ji Eun, did you hear that? My brother wants to help you, and it would be best if we go to the same place."

"Well, thank you, Brother Li." Yi Zhien said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Okay, I'll get two forms for you to fill out tomorrow, and then you just wait." Li Kangri said, "Now you can go back!"

"Okay, brother." Li Yuanjun pulled Yi Zhien and said, "Zhien, let's go back."

……

After a while, on the way back to Sihe, Yi Zhien said with a worried look on his face, "Reinforcements, is your brother really that powerful? Is what he said true?"

"Oh, let me tell you, my brother is a fortune teller and is very accurate in fortune-telling. But don't tell this to others. It is forbidden to say this now. Also, you must have heard about how good his medical skills are, right? What's more, my brother is even better at fighting. I'm thinking of asking him to teach me a few tricks!" Li Yuanjun boasted.

"So are you saying that my mother really only has seven years to live?" Yi Zhien asked.

"I don't know about this, but my brother wouldn't say anything nonsense. Besides, no one can change what is true or false. This is fate. There are some things we can't stop." Li Yuanjun said sadly. At this time, she thought of his dead mother.

"Okay," Yi Zhien said helplessly. Indeed, he had no choice.

"Haha, take it easy. Just think of it as an excuse my brother wants to find for you." Li Yuanjun comforted.

"Well, you're right, but I often hear people say that your brother is a miracle doctor. Do you think I should remind my mother to go to the hospital for a check-up?" Yi Zhien said.

"What? What's the point of the check? Do you still want your mother to have a baby? Besides, how old is your mother? Can she still give birth? The results of the check will only add to your troubles. What's the point?" Li Yuanjun said.

"It seems like what you said is true. I was overthinking it. Oh! Don't think about it anymore. Let's just take it one step at a time!" Yi Zhien said helplessly.

"That's right. We don't know where we will be tomorrow, so live in the present. But I remind you that you'd better not tell my brother what he said just now at home. Just keep it in your heart."

"Haha, I know," Yi Zhien said, "Reinforcement, thank you today, and thank you for this matter. I, Yi Zhien, will repay the kindness. I will spare no effort to help you in the future."

"Haha, me too. We are friends, aren't we?" Li Yuanjun said with a smile.

"Yes, we are friends."

Just like that, the two of them returned to the courtyard one after the other. As soon as they got home, Li Fengjuan grabbed Yi Zhien and asked, "How is it? Is there a chance for you to join the army? I just saw you and Xiao Li's brother come in one after the other."

After hearing what Li Fengjuan said, Yi Zhien did not answer, but looked at Li Fengjuan's face seriously. He wanted to see how he could tell that his mother only had seven years to live?

However, after looking for a long time he couldn't see anything. He felt that his mother's face was rosy and she didn't look like she only had seven years to live.

"Jie'en? What are you thinking? Did they not agree to your request?" Li Fengjuan said, "It doesn't matter if they didn't agree. We will find a job for you."

"Mom, Brother Li agreed to help me. He said he would give me the watch and reinforcements tomorrow." Yi Zhien said.

"What? What did you say?" Li Fengjuan asked in disbelief, "You said Xiao Li agreed to help you?"

"Um,"

"Pa!" Li Fengjuan slapped herself hard in the face, then asked, "Say it again? Let me see if I'm dreaming or not?"

"Mom, what are you doing! Brother Li promised to help me. He said there is no problem and I will definitely become a soldier." Yi Zhien said.

"Oh, that's great, that's great. May God bless you, may our ancestors bless you, Zhien. I will go find your father and tell him the good news." Li Fengjuan said happily.

"Mom, my dad will be back soon, what are you looking for?" Yi Zhien said.

"Yes, your father will be back soon," Li Fengjuan said with a smile, "By the way, Zhien, do you think we should buy some gifts to thank Xiao Li?"

"Mom, no need. Brother Li helped me because of the reinforcements. I will just be nicer to the reinforcements in the future. If I really want to thank him, I can just treat him to a meal some other day."

"Okay," Li Fengjuan said with a smile, "Don't postpone it to another day. Just do it tonight. Invite him to the restaurant tonight. Mom will get you the money and tickets. I'll give them to you now."

As she spoke, Li Fengjuan went into the room and started to stir up the bedding on the bed. After a while, Li Fengjuan came out with a stack of money and bills.

"Come here, Zhien, here are the money and tickets, take them, have a good meal tonight, with more meat and vegetables, you must thank them well, and also, get along well with your brother Li. The Li family is very capable, and this will be helpful to you in the future." Li Fengjuan said.

As he said that, he stuffed the money into Yi Zhien's hand.

"Mom, this is too much. We can't use so much." Yi Zhien said.

"It's not much, not much. This little money is nothing. A soldier's quota is much more valuable than this." Li Fengjuan said with a smile.

"OK then!"
