Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

In addition, after Aunt Zhang was asked by the relevant departments to verify Lin Geng's courage in rescuing Old Liu, she learned that Lin Geng was under investigation by the organization because he ran away from the Lou family, so she immediately called Old Liu to inform him.

When Old Liu heard this, he immediately flew into a rage and personally called the relevant departments to testify for Lin Geng, proving that Lin Geng was an absolutely good comrade and a good young man. The organization's targeting of Lin Geng because of the Lou family's departure was unfair to his father, a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country.

For this reason, Lao Liu also asked several old comrades in the military and various departments to help speak up for Lin Geng. Finally, the relevant departments that investigated the Lou family's escape had to release Lin Geng very politely, apologize to Lin Geng, and send Lin Geng back to the Siheyuan politely in a car. They also publicly clarified the misunderstanding for Lin Geng in the Siheyuan, which was considered to have cleared Lin Geng's name.

In addition, because some of Lin Geng’s home decorations and furniture were damaged during the search, the relevant departments specially commissioned the street office to re-arrange workers to help Lin Geng repair the house. All expenses were borne by their department, which completely resolved the matter.

The bunch of beasts who were originally waiting to laugh at Lin Geng and wish him bad luck in the yard, when they saw that Lin Geng returned to the courtyard safely, even the relevant law enforcement departments very politely sent Lin Geng back to the courtyard, publicly clarified the matter for Lin Geng, cleared his name, and even took the initiative to assume all the losses caused by the search of Lin Geng's house.

This time they couldn't laugh anymore. When they saw Lin Geng, they hurried back to their homes. But the neighbors in the yard who were worried about Lin Geng, after seeing Lin Geng being sent back safely and the special department personnel publicly clarifying the matter for Lin Geng, surrounded Lin Geng to congratulate him and comforted him that he was fine.

At this time, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao also came over and looked Lin Geng up and down. Seeing that Lin Geng had no injuries, they were relieved and congratulated Lin Geng on his safe return.

One has to admit that Xu Damao is indeed one of the smartest people in this courtyard. After he suffered a loss once, he realized the consequences he would face if he offended Lin Geng.

In the past, he was isolated and helpless in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai and others, led by the deaf old lady, said he was a bad seed. They also let Sha Zhu beat him frequently, but he protected Sha Zhu and made his life difficult. Although the old deaf man and Yi Zhonghai are now offline, Lin Geng has become a leader of the younger generation in this courtyard.

Although Yan Bugui is the nominal manager, now Yan Bugui follows Lin Geng's lead in everything and acts according to Lin Geng's mood. If he offends Lin Geng, his days in Siheyuan will definitely be more difficult than before. He will inevitably be targeted by Sha Zhu like before, and it is not a dream that he will be beaten nine times in three days. He does not want to go back to the life dominated by Sha Zhu's fists.

In addition, Lin Geng now has a very high reputation in the factory, especially in the eyes of the factory leaders. He is even more popular. Li Huaide, who is directly in charge of their propaganda department, especially treats Lin Geng like his own son or nephew, and treats Lin very well. As soon as he offended Lin Geng, Li Huaide arranged for him to be the head of their propaganda department and assigned him to go to the countryside to show movies in the middle of winter. He almost froze to death in the countryside.

Let’s look at the fate of Liu Haizhong, Qin Huairu, Li Ergou, Gou Laosan and others who are against Lin Geng in the factory. They are all treated badly and cannot even have a full lunch. They cannot win the lawsuit and can only endure the bullying and exclusion everywhere.

This made Xu Damao understand one thing: Lin Geng was a person he absolutely could not afford to offend. If he offended Lin Geng and became his enemy, then his days at the steel mill would be even worse than those of Liu Haizhong and others.

So when Xu Damao came back from the countryside, he would run to Lin Geng's house and beg Lin Geng to forgive him once. He regretted it and would never dare to do it again. Only then did Lin Geng give him a chance to reform.

Then Lin Geng said just one sentence, and their section chief stopped bothering him, which made him feel relieved. He also understood that he must not offend Lin Geng, otherwise his life would be miserable.

Even though Lin Geng was taken away by the relevant powerful departments this time, Xu Damao decided to take a gamble and stand on Lin Geng's side after thinking it over. He believed that with Lin Geng's intelligence and his background, nothing should happen to him, so he stood firmly on Lin Geng's side and spoke for him.

As expected, when he jumped out to help Sha Zhu scold Liu Haizhong and other guys who were gloating over other people's misfortunes, he immediately obtained Sha Zhu's forgiveness. That night Sha Zhu cooked a few dishes and invited him and Yan Bugui to have a drink, which was considered to be a complete forgiveness for him helping Qin Huairu to ruin Lin Hao's things. Two nights ago, Xu Damao burst into tears with excitement after drinking.

Today, seeing Lin Geng return to the courtyard safely and soundly without any problems, Xu Damao was overjoyed. He secretly congratulated himself for having made the right bet and chosen the right side this time, and he almost cried with excitement.

Sha Zhu brought Lin Geng back to his home and told Lin Geng how the people in the yard reacted after Lin Geng was taken away. Xu Damao and Yan Bugui stood up to speak for Lin Geng, and Aunt Liu brought a group of women in the yard who supported Lin Geng and blocked the doors of those who were gloating over Lin Geng being taken away. They scolded them for a long time and told Lin Geng everything that happened.

Lin Geng thought that other people's performance was normal, but he was quite surprised by Xu Damao's performance this time. He had some doubts at first. This time he was taken away by the relevant departments for investigation. It might be Xu Damao who reported him behind his back. He was ready to give Xu Damao a good lesson after he came back this time.

But now after hearing what Sha Zhu said, Lin dispelled his doubts about Xu Damao. He turned his head to look at Xu Damao, nodded to him and said, "Thank you, brother Damao! I'm glad you can speak for me! As long as you don't cheat me again in the future, we can still be friends!"

After hearing what Lin Geng said, Xu Damao almost broke down in tears on the spot. His eyes were a little red with excitement. He nodded repeatedly and said that he would prepare wine and food to welcome Lin Geng.

When Yan Bugui heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, Damao is right. We should indeed give Xiaolin a welcome party to get rid of the bad luck! I'll go get a bottle of wine! I'll also make some scrambled eggs!"

Lin Geng and Sha Zhu pouted when they heard this. Lin Geng said with a smile, "Teacher Yan, forget about your wine. I'm afraid I can't get used to your white wine mixed with water! Just come over, and keep your wine for yourself!"

Yan Bugui's face turned red after hearing this, but he also knew that Lin Geng didn't care whether he was willing to give up the food and wine. As long as he stood firmly on Lin Geng's side, Lin Geng was not a stingy person and would not care about such trivial matters as whether he was willing to give up the food and wine. So he laughed awkwardly and said, "Look at you guys, you always interrupt me! Okay! Since you all said so, I will obey your command! Haha!"

That night Xu Damao really prepared a sumptuous meal at his house. Sha Zhu went to the kitchen to help cook. He invited Lin Geng, Yan Bugui and Old Wang from the front yard to have a meal at Xu Damao's house. This was also the first time that Lin Geng had a drink with Xu Damao since Xu Damao and Qin Huairu did something bad to Lin Geng.

Although it was Xu Damao who prepared the food and wine, he was completely relieved that Lin Geng could come to drink, so Xu Damao was very excited when drinking. As expected, this guy drank too much and slipped under the table. Lin Geng helped Qin Jingru carry him back to the house and threw him on the bed.
