Chapter 9: Deep-seated Hatred

Did this girl get angry after hearing what was just said? It's all that Chang's nonsense, what does it have to do with me? Li Guotao pondered to himself, feeling uneasy as he followed Bai Wei into the room

Li Guotao felt deeply wronged! He thought to himself, it was not I, Li Guotao, who acted lewdly yesterday, but that dead ghost, Li San. However, this explanation could not be made, and even if it could, no one would believe it. After all, it was Li Guotao who had crossed over and was reborn in the body of Li San! Since Li Guotao had taken over Li San's body, he naturally had to bear all the sins committed before.

Bai Wei ignored Li Guotao, wiped away her tears, and continued, "Our family originally lived in Shenyang. When the September 18 Incident broke out and the Japanese army attacked Shenyang, my brother was a police officer at the Shenyang Police Department. When the Japanese entered the city, he and several colleagues killed quite a few Japanese soldiers, but they were also shot dead in the street by the Japanese. That was not all; the Japanese retaliated afterwards and killed our entire family. On that day, only my father and I were not at home, which allowed us to escape a disaster. However, we did not dare to stay in Northeast China, and took advantage of the chaos to flee Shenyang, eventually making our way to the interior, and finally settling down in Xiaozhangzhuang, Anguo County. But I never expected that today, the Japanese killed my father again! You have no idea what it feels like to have your entire family killed by the Japanese, to lose all your relatives. I now wish I could kill all the Japanese, skin them alive, crush their bones, and scatter their ashes; it would still not relieve the hatred in my heart! Therefore, I hope you can help me, help me take revenge! If you agree to help me, I am willing to marry you, wash your clothes, cook for you, serve you for a lifetime, and bear children for the Li family."

You know nothing! Li Guotao couldn't help but curse inwardly, but on the surface, he put on a smiling face and explained, "What I meant was that you misunderstood..."

"Rest assured, Miss Bai! Even if you do not ask me, I will eliminate all these Eastern beasts! This is not only to avenge your family, but also to avenge all my compatriots from Huaxia who have tragically died under the blades of the little devils!" Li Guotao said with a serious expression.

I believe that this matter should be addressed promptly, to establish a family and career early, and to enlist in the army to fight against the enemy! Nowadays, our homeland is lost, and the people are suffering; the country is in dire need of talents like Brother Li! Therefore, I think Brother Li should expedite this marriage matter!

"You still claim that your mind is clear, but you are completely blinded by hatred at this moment. I think you need to take a moment to calm down," Li Guotao sighed and said

Oh! So that's how it is! It is human nature, understandable, quite understandable. Changde appeared enlightened, turned to look at Bai Wei beside him, and said with a smile, "I thought you and this young lady were already married! Since that is the case, may I ask when Brother Li plans to hold the wedding? I would like to come and enjoy a cup of celebratory wine!"

"I am fine, and my mind is clear!" Bai Wei shouted loudly, "My father was killed by the little devils, and my mother, my brother, and my younger brother, our entire family was killed by the little devils. I want to take revenge on the little devils. I will kill all these beasts to avenge my family and to avenge all the compatriots who have died!" As Bai Wei spoke, tears once again streamed down her face.

Li Guotao was about to explain something further when Bai Wei, who had been sitting there in a daze, suddenly stood up and turned to Li Guotao, saying, "Li San, come here for a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

"Miss Bai, please do not be angry; it is all nonsense from that person with the surname Chang," Li Guotao quickly explained in a low voice as soon as he entered the room

"So you are agreeing, then? Very well, we shall get married today, and tomorrow we will join the Eighth Route Army together to take revenge on the enemy!" Bai Wei said with gritted teeth, her face resolute.

Of course, there is a fake!" Li Guotao nodded and said, he truly did not understand why Bai Wei suddenly asked this question

Bai Wei's words exploded above Li Guotao's head like a thunderclap on a clear day, causing him to feel a throbbing pain in the back of his head once again. What was going on? Why did Bai Wei suddenly say she wanted to marry him? Could it be that she had been stimulated to the point of losing her sanity?

"There is no need for you to feel embarrassed, brother; we all understand. You are truly fortunate, brother!" Changde said to Li Guotao, winking and speaking softly.

Li Guotao was extremely angry! He wished he could take off his stinky socks and stuff them in this guy's mouth. What nonsense is this! However, when Li Guotao looked down, he noticed that the poor wretch he was bending over had no socks on at all, so he could only give up on that idea.

"Are you calling me? My name is Li Guotao, not Li San," Li Guotao quickly explained, but Bai Wei completely ignored him and strode directly into the house

"Very well! As long as you promise to teach me the skills to kill the enemy, I am willing to marry you and carry on the lineage of the old Li family," Bai Wei said with a serious expression, gritting her teeth.

Bai Wei turned her head and stared intently at Li Guotao for a while, making him feel uneasy. Just as he was about to explain further, Bai Wei suddenly spoke up, "Li San, Li Guotao, right! I know you like me; otherwise, you wouldn't treat me like this!" At this point, Bai Wei felt too shy to continue speaking.

"Did you really kill those more than fifty little devils?" Bai Wei asked with a puzzled expression

Li Guotao was even more confused. It was one thing for that person surnamed Chang to speak nonsense without knowing the truth, but how could Bai Wei also join in the chaos? She actually said she wanted to marry him. Li Guotao felt his head spinning even more. "Miss Bai, are you alright? Have you been stimulated or something? Is your mind muddled? Why are you talking nonsense?"

Li Guotao obviously breathed a sigh of relief and, with a somewhat embarrassed smile, said, "Now that the conversation has reached this point, I am no longer afraid of Captain Chang laughing at me. What Captain Chang may not know is that my family has had three generations of only one son, and I am the last remaining heir. My father has always hoped that I would marry soon and carry on the family line for the Li family. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a wife after so many years of wandering, which has caused my father to leave this world with unfulfilled wishes! It is not that I do not want to serve in the military and contribute to my country, but I cannot disregard my father's last wishes! Therefore, I plan to wait until after I get married to enlist and serve my country. I hope Captain Chang can understand."

Li Guotao couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, are you here to drink a cup of celebratory wine? Are you trying to pull me into your gang? However, from what this guy said, it seems there is some misunderstanding that must be clarified. Li Guotao quickly said, "Captain Chang, you are mistaken, I and this young lady Bai!"

Before Li Guotao could speak, Bai Wei continued, "I can marry you, anytime is fine, but I have one condition"
