Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

The weather was very cold at this time. The water surface had begun to freeze, but it had not yet completely frozen. There were also fewer fishermen, so Lin Geng found a quiet place with few people by the lake to take out his fishing gear. Like a magic trick, he took out two small stools from the basket and gave one to Lou Xiao'e. Then, like a magic trick, he took out a spare fishing rod from another large fish basket. He did not use the magical fishing rod from the small world and gave it to Lou Xiao'e.

The two of them sat by the lake and started fishing. They chatted while fishing. Lou Xiao'e was chattering a lot, and it seemed like she had endless things to say to Lin Geng. She was also like a curious baby, constantly asking Lin Geng about all kinds of new things.

Lou Xiao'e grew up in a big capitalist family like the Lou family. She has always lived a life of plenty and luxury, and has been well protected. Therefore, she knows little about the sufferings of the people, especially those in rural or mountain villages, and is very curious.

Lin Geng then told Lou Xiao'e about the poverty he had seen in the rural areas. Lou Xiao'e was deeply distressed and even had tears in her eyes. She felt sorry for the people in the rural areas.

"Do you think our country can really become prosperous? Can everyone have enough food and warm clothing?" Lou Xiao'e asked Lin Geng with some concern.

Lin Geng looked around and saw that there were no people around, so he nodded and whispered, "I believe it will happen. Our nation is the smartest and most hardworking nation. We were bullied by foreigners for so many years during the Qing Dynasty, but the Peninsula War made us stand up straight again and no longer afraid of those foreigners!

I firmly believe that sooner or later, our country will stand on top of the world again, and all the people will be well fed and clothed! As long as you are not lazy and are willing to work, you will be able to become rich!

Although it is a bit unfair to you now, it is also a helpless move at the moment. I let you go to Hong Kong to take shelter first, not to sentence you to the country, but to let you read more books, accumulate more knowledge, and accumulate some strength. When the wind stops one day, you can come back at any time to serve our country!

What are you going to do now?"

After hearing what Lin Geng said, Lou Xiao'e felt both excited and disappointed. She looked around and whispered to Lin Geng, "My dad has started to secretly deal with some businesses and has started to contact friends in Hong Kong. He wants me to go to Hong Kong first, and then go to Hong Kong after he and mom have dealt with some businesses here!"

Lin Geng nodded and said, "That's good! You go to Hong Kong to study first, and when you finish your studies, you can help Director Lou. With Director Lou's intelligence, I believe you can definitely start a new career in Hong Kong! When the time is right, you can return to Sijiu City and rebuild your Lou family's business in Sijiu City!"

Lou Xiao'e glanced at Lin Geng and whispered, "But I still feel a little reluctant..."

Lin Geng turned his head to look at Lou Xiao'e and smiled slightly: "Don't be reluctant, you have to leave here. This is called saving people and losing land. If you save the land but lose the people, you will lose both the people and the land!

If the wind blows, no one can protect you, no one can! This is your only choice! Because you know the truth that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. Your family's property is too rich, and there are many people with ulterior motives who will stare at you. Once they have the chance, they will not let you go, and will put you to death and take away everything you have!

So let's go! For you and your parents, let's go to Hong Kong to avoid the wind. Maybe ten years later, when the wind dies down, we will have a chance to meet again!

Hey hey hey... I got it... Hurry up and lift the rod, a fish has taken the bait!"

Lou Xiao'e felt complicated when listening to Lin Geng's words, but when Lin Geng reminded her that her fishing rod had caught a fish, she quickly turned her head to look at the water surface where broken ice was floating, and saw that her fishing float had suddenly sunk. So she hurriedly lifted the fishing rod, and felt the fishing rod sink, and a crucian carp weighing more than half a pound was pulled out of the water.

Lou Xiao'e had never fished before, but she caught a fish on her first try. Her gloomy mood suddenly became much better. She screamed in surprise and began to drag the fish to the shore in a hurry.

The two of them fished by the lake for a while, but it wasn't too long. After all, the weather was already very cold. Lou Xiao'e was wearing thin clothes, so she was frozen after a while and began to shiver. So Lin Geng collected the rod, picked up the few fish they had caught, picked out two larger fish, strung them together with a rope, and hung them on Lou Xiao'e's handlebars.

Lou Xiao'e did not refuse. After all, this was her first catch from fishing and she wanted to take it back to show off to her parents. So she accepted the two big fish generously and rode home happily. During the time she was sitting by the lake fishing, Lin Geng comforted her a lot and helped her to untie the knot in her heart.

She didn't know why, but she couldn't help but believe Lin Geng's words. Lin Geng told her that sooner or later, their Lou family would be able to return to Sijiu City, so she couldn't help but believe Lin Geng. As long as they could return to Sijiu City, then what was there to worry about?

Even if fate prevents her and Lin Geng from being together and becoming Lin Geng's woman, as long as she can return to Sijiu City one day, she still has hope.

Qin Huairu has been feeling a little uneasy these days. She knew that she had asked Xu Damao to ruin the plans of Lin Geng and Lou Xiao'e. After the plot failed, although Lin Geng did not report it to the police and ask them to arrest her, he did not express his intention to let the matter go.

Although she comforted herself that Lin Geng would not argue with a widow like her, she was still a little uneasy in her heart. So she went to find Xu Damao, hoping that he could help her find out Lin Geng's attitude through him. However, Xu Damao did not respond to her at all this time. He cursed at her and drove her out of the Xu family. Even Qin Jingru, who tried to persuade her, was slapped in the face by Xu Damao.

Xu Damao also threatened Qin Jingru that if she dared to speak for Qin Huairu again, he would divorce her and let her go back to her hometown. He even forbade Qin Jingru to help Qin Huairu take care of the children anymore, which caught Qin Huairu off guard.

In order to avoid divorcing Xu Damao, Qin Jingru was driven back to the countryside, so she really stopped paying attention to Qin Huairu and stopped helping Qin Huairu take care of the children every day.

Qin Huairu cried and begged, but Xu Damao was like a turtle eating a weight this time. He was determined to draw a clear line between himself and Qin Huairu and refused to allow Qin Jingru to help her anymore. Otherwise, he would immediately force Qin Jingru to divorce. Qin Jingru was so scared that she dared not agree to her request and the fight became a big mess.
