Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Now Lin Geng can basically confirm that it was Qin Huairu who maliciously reported him, but he just doesn't have definite evidence. The relevant departments will never show him the report letter, nor will they tell him who reported him.

However, this did not prevent him from taking revenge on Qin Huairu. Although he did not deny that Qin Huairu's life was indeed very difficult because of him, behind all this, he could only blame Qin Huairu for not striving for progress and thinking about how to scheme against others all day long, which led to her current difficult situation.

Now Qin Huairu still refuses to repent and never reflects on herself, blaming herself for all her current misfortunes. Then Lin Geng will not be able to help but punish her severely.

The next morning, Lin Geng went out with his fishing gear. In the afternoon, when most people in the yard came back from get off work, Lin Geng carried a large basket of fish back to the courtyard and began to deliver fish to the neighbors in the yard. However, this time he only delivered fish to the families who spoke up for him when he was taken away two days ago. Moreover, he delivered two fish at a time, both of which were big fish weighing at least two or three kilograms. He delivered fish to fifteen households.

However, the nine families in the yard who had been mocking and gloating over his misfortune after he was taken away that day were not so lucky. They could only watch Lin Geng deliver fish to other families.

Lin Geng even gave Aunt Liu, who had taken the lead in speaking up for him and scolding those households who were gloating over his misfortune, a large piece of bacon weighing more than two kilograms, which made those residents who didn't get the fish very jealous.

That night, the yard was filled with the aroma of stewed fish, fried fish, and steamed fish. Most families were filled with laughter and joy. However, the few families that did not get any fish were filled with a depressed atmosphere. They looked at the cornmeal porridge and steamed corn bread with boiled cabbage stalks on the table, smelled the aroma of various fish dishes in the air, and sighed, finding it difficult to swallow.

The children in several families with children were not happy with this, so they started crying and making a fuss, wanting to eat fish too, and asked their parents why other families had fish to eat but they had none.

The parents of these children were all so angry that they didn't know how to explain to their children. They couldn't tell their children that they were so bad that people would not give them fish. In the end, they got so angry with their children that they caught them and beat them up. Only then did their children stop asking for fish.

Lin Geng's move was naked revenge. He knew too well how to make people feel uncomfortable. Although on the surface, it seemed that others had not suffered any loss, when they saw that others were getting benefits but they were the only ones not, they felt extremely uncomfortable.

To him, more than twenty fish were nothing at all. There was no cost at all, but they could make those who were malicious towards him feel uncomfortable. He didn't care about these fish at all.

And it was obvious that the matter was not over yet, because this was only the first step in Lin Geng's revenge. Within two days, the news that almost everyone working in the steel mill was gloating over Lin Geng's misfortune began to spread among the people working in the steel mill. The news was spread by word of mouth through Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, and some workers in the steel mill in the yard who supported Lin Geng.

In less than a day, the reputation of those guys who gloated over Lin Geng's misfortune and mocked him spread throughout the steel mill.

In addition to Liu Haizhong, Qin Huairu, Li Ergou and Gou Laosan, who already had a bad reputation, there were four other guys working in the steel rolling mill. Within two days, they noticed the strange looks from their co-workers. They felt that they were beginning to be isolated, and some co-workers who had originally had a good relationship with them suddenly began to ignore them.

Moreover, when these guys went to the cafeteria to get their meals, someone would point fingers at them. Then they found that the person who usually didn't shake the spoon for them started shaking the spoon for them, causing the amount of food they got to be half of what they used to get.

A few guys wanted to make some noise, but they were ridiculed by the people around them. They said that given their character, it was already a great honor for them to be beaten so much, and the steel mill was not a place to keep ungrateful people. They were told to get out of here quickly and not to disturb others from getting their meals.

These guys then realized that they had been targeted. The reason was simple: when Lin Geng was taken away for investigation, they had been gloating over his misfortune and making sarcastic remarks, hoping that Lin Geng would get into trouble. Now the news was spread to the factory by people from the same hospital, ruining their reputation and making them become the rats crossing the street, and everyone wanted to kill them.

At this time they began to panic, because this reminded them of the fate of Liu Haizhong, Qin Huairu and Li Ergou who had previously opposed Lin Geng in the factory.

Now look at Liu Haizhong and the others, they are all in a miserable state in the factory. Although they have not been expelled from the factory, they are targeted and despised everywhere in the factory. They are either sent to clean toilets or assigned to do the hardest and most tiring work. Moreover, when they eat in the factory, they almost never get enough food.

Liu Haizhong was a fat man, but he lost a lot of weight in the past year or so. His big belly is gone, but his fat face has shrunk. He swings a sledgehammer in the workshop all day long, and he is so tired that he can't even lift his arms when he gets off work. Even his apprentices have begun to distance themselves from him, fearing that they will be affected by his bad luck and be targeted.

Now they have to follow in the footsteps of Liu Haizhong, Qin Huairu and others, and will be targeted everywhere in the factory in the future. Thinking of these guys, they began to shudder and regretted wanting to slap themselves in the face. They cursed in their hearts why they were so blinded by greed that day and gloated and spoke nonsense in the yard when they saw Lin Geng being taken away for investigation by a certain department.

Now, Lin Geng is fine. The relevant departments have clarified that he was just assisting the departments in the investigation and he is still a good comrade. However, they have offended Lin Geng and also offended those neighbors in the yard who have a good relationship with Lin Geng.

Now the news has even spread to the factory, ruining their reputation. It is easy to imagine that they will be targeted everywhere in the future, and their good days are over.

After returning home, these women sighed at home. Seeing that their husbands were in low spirits, their wives asked them what had happened. These men then told their wives that their reputation in the factory had been ruined and that they were being targeted.

When their wives heard this, they were dumbfounded. If they were not from the same family, they would not enter the same door. When Lin Geng was taken away that day, these couples all showed their gloating. Especially the women, they gathered together excitedly, loudly ridiculing Lin Geng, and even said more vicious words, cursing that Lin Geng would never get out this time and be taken away for target practice.

What they did and said that day immediately aroused the indignation of neighbors like Sha Zhu who had a good relationship with Lin Geng. They scolded them harshly and were almost beaten up by Sha Zhu. They could only hide in their homes in shame and dared not show up.
