Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 331 Xiao Dang wants to hook up with Li Yuanjun

After Yi Zhonghai left, Jia Zhang started cursing again, as if she was the only one in the world who was right.

Seeing Jia Zhang like this, Qin Huairu also left the house and went home.

When she returned home and saw that only Banggeng and Huaihua were waiting there for dinner, Qin Huairu became upset again and turned to go to the kitchen.

"Xiaodang, is the meal ready?" Qin Huairu asked.

"Mom, the vegetables are ready. There's only one big cabbage. The steamed buns are left over from yesterday. They're already heated up and will be ready soon."

"Oh!" Qin Huairu sighed and then started to cry.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Xiaodang, what are we going to do in the future? I was counting on you to marry Zhien to help my family, but now look at what has happened, it's all in vain. What should we do? What do you think we should do? How is your brother going to find a job? How is he going to get married? And what about our family?" Qin Huairu said with a headache.

"Mom, what else can we do? Look at my brother, how old is he? He's already 23. Other people's kids set up their own households at 18, but my brother does nothing all day long and just waits for food. What if he gets married? Will he be supported by a woman? Besides, will a working woman be interested in him?" Xiao Dang complained.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's mom's fault that your brother doesn't have a job. It's because mom can't make him study hard that's why it's like this."

"Okay, Mom, just keep being biased. You will regret it sooner or later." Xiao Dang said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Since Yi Zhien is gone, we will find someone else with better conditions. After you get married, you can help the family." Qin Huairu decided.

Xiao Dang was not angry when she heard Qin Huairu say this. She would not help the man even if he got married. She felt that this family was a bottomless pit and whoever helped him would be in trouble.

"Mom, what do you think of Li Yuanjun? I saw him today. He was wearing a police uniform and looked very handsome." Xiao Dang said infatuatedly. It had been the whole morning, and she had been thinking about Li Yuanjun ever since she saw him in a police uniform.

"What are you thinking? How is that possible? Even if Li Yuanjun is willing, his brother won't." Qin Huairu said unhappily.

"Mom, that's not necessarily true. As long as the reinforcements are willing, his brother can't do anything about it, just like Yi Zhien. Do you think Yi Zhonghai can do it? I told you this because I want you to help me think of a way to get close to the reinforcements and talk to them, not to pour cold water on me. Anyway, I have made up my mind. I want to pursue him." Xiao Dang said.

"Silly girl, do you think your mother will stop you? I would love to. I am just reminding you that you have basically no chance. Each member of the Li family is smarter than the other. Our tricks can't fool them." Qin Huairu said unhappily.

"Mom, stop saying discouraging things. I'm not lying. I really like him and I want to give it a try. Besides, it won't delay anything. You should keep looking for someone with better conditions for me. If it works out, that's fine." Xiao Dang said.

Seeing her daughter's confidence, Qin Huairu stopped discouraging her and said, "Okay, you decide for yourself. I'll see if I can find a matchmaker to introduce you to someone in the next few days."

Just like that, after a while, the Jia family members finished their meal.

After dinner, Xiao Dang returned to Yi Zhien's original room, and then she started to think about how to get close to Li Yuanjun and how to start a conversation. After thinking for a long time, she came up with an excuse, which was to find Li Yuanjun and ask about Yi Zhien. Otherwise, she really couldn't think of any excuse to talk to Li Yuanjun.

Thinking of this, Xiaodang stood up and started to dress up. She wanted to dress herself up beautifully to meet Li Yuanjun.

In this way, Xiaodang spent the whole afternoon getting ready. She did not walk out of the courtyard until it was almost time to get off work, and then waited on the road she had to take.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Xiaodang finally saw the person he had been thinking about appear in his sight.

Just when Li Yuanjun was approaching, Xiaodang suddenly ran out and stood in front of Li Yuanjun.

This frightened Li Yuanjun. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Li Yuanjun asked angrily, "Jia Dang, you scared me to death? Why are you blocking my way?"

"Brother Yuanjun, I want to ask you something. Do you have time?" Xiaodang said softly, afraid that others didn't know that she was a graceful lady.

"Can you speak more normally? It's like you were stuck in a door. Just ask whatever you want to ask. I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner!" Li Yuanjun said impatiently.

"Over there, can we go there?" Xiao Dang said, pointing to a deserted place nearby.

"We're a single man and a single woman, and I'm afraid people will gossip about us. There aren't many people here, so if you have anything to ask me, just ask me now. If not, I'm leaving and I don't have time to waste with you." Li Yuanjun said bluntly.

Seeing Li Yuanjun like this, Xiao Dang was furious and complained crazily, "Are you a eunuch? Don't you know how to be gentle with women? Am I not attractive enough? The people in the Li family are really the same, stupid and hypocritical."

"Brother Yuanjun, I just want to ask about Brother Zhien. Do you know why he suddenly decided not to marry me?" Xiaodang asked pitifully.

"Did Yi Zhien say she wanted to marry you?" Li Yuanjun asked back.

"No, but he promised his dad, so I don't understand why I'm asking you. Since you're the only one who can contact him, I think you should have talked about it."

"Yes, we did talk. He told me that he didn't like you at all and had never promised you anything. That was just his father's wishful thinking. He didn't say anything because he didn't want to be unfilial. Now, because Yi Zhonghai married your grandmother before the seventh day, he said he didn't want to care about anything anymore. Do you understand?"

"No, how can we young people interfere in adults' affairs? Doesn't he feel sorry for me?" Xiao Dang asked with red eyes.

"Then I don't know. Go ask yourself when you have a chance!"

"Brother Yuanjun, I don't even know his phone number, how can I ask him? How about you help me ask, and then I'll come back to you after I've figured it out?" Xiaodang said.

"You think too much. I am not related to you. How can I help you?" the reinforcements said speechlessly.

"We are neighbors! Can't you help me?" Xiao Dang said angrily. She was very angry at Li Yuanjun's repeated disregard.

"You and I are not neighbors. I'm leaving now," Li Yuanjun said. "I have one more thing to say. People should know themselves. To be honest, you don't deserve to be grateful."

"Why?" Xiao Dang asked angrily.

"Just think about your family situation. Who is your mother? Who is your brother? And your grandmother, at her old age, plotting against an old man. I don't think anyone in your family has any shame."

After saying that, Li Yuanjun walked towards the yard, making Xiaodang behind him stamp his feet in anger.
