Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

But after returning home, they didn't take it seriously in private, secretly cursing Sha Zhu and other neighbors who helped Lin Geng as villains, and continued to curse Lin Geng to die a bad death.

But when Lin Geng returned safe and sound, they were all dumbfounded. Not only was Lin Geng fine, but people from relevant departments also came to the yard to publicly help Lin Geng clarify the matter, affirming that Lin Geng was a good comrade. This time they had completely offended Lin Geng.

Nowadays, they find that their family is not welcome in the yard. When they go out to say hello to others, few people pay attention to them. When they go to the yard to chat with people, many neighbors look disgusted and turn away.

As a result, their men's reputation in the factory has been ruined. They have started to be targeted and bullied. They are now completely panicked.

The smarter ones realized the seriousness of the matter. After dark, they prepared some gifts and went to the Central Courtyard to knock on Lin Geng's door, wanting to apologize to Lin Geng.

When Lin Geng opened the door and saw these people, he didn't give them any face and asked, "What are you doing here?"

A guy who worked in the steel mill handed Lin a cigarette with a smile on his face and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Lin! We did do something wrong before. Now that I think about it carefully these days, we were wrong!

Please be magnanimous and don't bother with us. After all, we are old neighbors. Can you see if this matter can be resolved..."

Lin Geng's face was dark. He didn't even listen to him finish his words. He said in a cold voice: "Stop it! Don't say it! Please go back! There is no need to mention this matter anymore. You reap what you sow. Since you are so eager for my death, don't be scared now!

I think I, Lin Geng, have never offended you before, right? When any of you asked me for help, I didn't help you? But when I was in trouble, you wished I would be dragged to shoot!

I can't afford to have neighbors like you, so let's just go our separate ways and not have any contact with each other from now on!

As for apologies, there is no need for that. I will never forgive you! Since you all wish I were dead, then just use whatever skills you have on me! I will take over!"

Before he could finish his words, Lin Geng slammed the door shut with a bang. The door almost hit the nose of the guy who was closest to him. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.

Several people were standing outside Lin Geng's house with faces as dark as pot bottoms. They wanted to continue knocking on the door, but Sha Zhu heard the sound and came out, cursing at them viciously: "I say, do you have any shame? What were you doing earlier? Seeing Linzi in trouble, have you all forgotten your dignity? One or two of you are so happy that you wish Linzi bad luck.

Now that Lin Zi is fine, you have the audacity to come up to him. You are unworthy! Bah! Get out of here! Don’t be an eyesore here! If you dare to harass Lin Zi again, I will break your dog legs!"

The scolding by Sha Zhu attracted some other neighbors in the yard, who started pointing fingers at them and making sarcastic remarks at them, making them too embarrassed to stay at Lin Geng's door. They could only cover their faces and run away, returning home and closing the door.

At this time, Qin Huairu was at home watching this scene and gritting her teeth. She didn't expect that this would not be able to bring down Lin Geng. She originally thought that since the Lou family ran away this time, she only needed to write a letter of denunciation, reporting that Lin Geng had a relationship with the Lou family and was involved in assisting the Lou family to run away.

In her opinion, with such a big thing, even if Lin Geng did not participate in helping the Lou family to escape, as long as the blame was put on Lin Geng and his relationship with Lou Xiao'e was confirmed, then Lin would not be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He would definitely be detained, fired from the factory, and exiled to the northwest to dig sand.

But she never thought that Lin Geng could be cleared of all charges and was sent back safely by the relevant department. They also clarified Lin Geng's case and confirmed that he had nothing to do with the Lou family. Qin Huairu almost lost her temper and almost jumped out to question the relevant department. Why was Lin Geng fine? She had clearly seen Lin Geng and Lou Xiao'e together, so how could he be fine?

However, the last bit of rationality prevented her from doing so. She could only hide in the crowd and stare at Lin Geng with resentful eyes, her heart filled with overwhelming hatred. She cursed Lin Geng for being so lucky that he could escape this disaster.

After Lin Geng came back, Qin Huairu knew that Lin Geng would definitely take revenge on them. She didn't dare let Lin Geng know that it was she who wrote the letter of denunciation against Lin Geng, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that the letter of denunciation she wrote was intended to put Lin Geng to death. Once Lin Geng knew about it, he would fight her to the death.

Given her current situation, if Lin Geng wanted to deal with her, there would be no one to protect her. She had already been sent to sweep the floors in the factory. If Lin Geng continued to keep an eye on her, she would have no choice but to be fired.

Her workstation was inherited from Jia Dongxu. If she was fired, she would lose the Jia family's workstation. Now Banggeng broke his leg and was disfigured because of burglary. He was also expelled from school. It would be difficult for him to go to school in the future. If he loses the Jia family's workstation again, what will happen to Banggeng when he grows up? It is estimated that without a job, he will not even be able to find a wife.

As for the Jia family's house, it is a public housing of the steel rolling mill, which is a house allocated by the factory to employees for living. If she is fired, the Jia family will lose their work position and the steel rolling mill may take back the house. Then she and her three children will have to sleep on the streets. Without a job and no income, she can only take her children back to the countryside.

Qin Huairu came from the countryside, so of course she knew how hard life in the countryside was. She would never go back to the countryside to suffer that kind of hardship. Moreover, now that she had taken over Jia Dongxu's job, her and her child's household registration had been transferred to urban ones. If she returned to the countryside, they would not have their own land. Would they just wait to starve to death if they went back?

Besides, ever since she married into the Jia family, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu had been unwilling to give her parents any help, nor did they allow her to return to her parents' home easily. They didn't give her any money, so she rarely returned to her parents' home.

In 1960, which was the most difficult time, her mother's family could no longer make ends meet, so her brother and sister-in-law came to the city to find Qin Huairu, hoping that the Jia family would help them a little and give them some food for emergency use. However, Jia Zhang was stingy and scolded her brother and sister-in-law. She did not give her brother and sister-in-law a single grain of food, and even refused to provide them with a meal, and drove her brother and sister-in-law away.

Later, someone in her family almost starved to death, so she began to hate the Jia family and never had any contact with them again.

When she gave birth to Huaihua, she cried and begged her parents, and they reluctantly let her sister-in-law come to the city to take care of Qin Huairu after she finished her confinement. However, her sister-in-law also learned about what Qin Huairu and the Jia family had done in the city. She would definitely tell her parents when she returned, and the news would definitely spread gradually in their Qinjia Village.

In addition, Qin Jingru is now married to Xu Damao, who knows everything about her. Xu Damao treats Qin Jingru much better than the Jia family treats her. In the year since Qin Jingru married Xu Damao, she has brought back many things and helped her parents' home a lot, which is much better than how she treats her parents' home.

Moreover, Qin Jingru is a person who doesn't keep her mouth shut. After returning to her parents' home, she will definitely tell her parents about her affairs. Once Qin Jingru's parents know about it, then the whole village will know about it. For this reason, her parents have never come to the city since she gave birth to Huaihua. They also asked Qin Jingru to give her a message that they no longer recognize her as their daughter and asked her not to return to her parents' home again because they can't afford to lose face.
