Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

In the past two years, because he and Lin Geng have a good relationship, he has taken advantage of Lin Geng many times, so that he has become accustomed to it. However, he forgets that it is not easy to take advantage of Lin Geng. He can give it to you on his own initiative, but if you want to ask him for it, Lin Geng will not indulge you.

When Yan Bugui thought about the mess he had made today, he felt a little scared. He knew very well what would happen if he offended Lin Geng. He could offend no one in the courtyard but Lin Geng. Otherwise, he would not have a good life in the future.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but feel even more regretful. After thinking about it, he got up and rummaged through the cabinet for a long time, and found a bottle of Lotus White that he had treasured for a long time. He hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and asked his wife to fry some chopped green onions and eggs, and prepared to go find Lin Geng for a drink as an apology to Lin Geng.

When Qin Huairu heard the news that Lin Geng was promoted to deputy section chief, she became even more envious and jealous of Lin Geng. She thought, "My mother's life is so difficult now, but why do you, Lin Geng, have such a good life? Not only do you have meat to eat every day, but you can also get promoted."

Now let's look at what her life is like. She is a widow with three children, but no one is willing to help her in the yard. She is also pointed at and criticized in the factory. She is also sent to the sanitation team to sweep the floors and clean the toilets every day, making her body stink.

Moreover, her salary was reduced to 22 yuan, which made her life even more difficult. With only 22 yuan, although they would not starve, they could not eat well, and they could not save much money.

Now Banggeng still has a lame leg. Although the bone has been set, it will take a long time to recover and he still can't walk properly. The school also expelled Banggeng because he repeatedly stole things. No matter how much she took Banggeng to school and begged, the school refused to let Banggeng go back to school.

Banggeng is only eight years old, but he has already dropped out of school and become a homeless vagrant. How can she feel about this? You know, she has been counting on Banggeng to become successful when he grows up, bring honor to the family, be filial to her, and let her live a good life in the future.

No! If you make me miserable, you can't live well either. I must find a way to make you miserable. So after thinking about it, Qin Huairu rummaged around at home for a while and found half a bottle of wine that Jia Dongxu had left over. She also found some peanuts and fried them. Then she went out with the peanuts and half a bottle of wine and headed for Liu Haizhong's house.

At this time, Liu Haizhong also heard that Lin Geng had become the deputy section chief, which made him feel even worse. His lifelong dream was to become an official, but after struggling for most of his life, he only became a manager and was eventually destroyed by Lin Geng. Now in the factory, he is like a rat crossing the street, and everyone is shouting and beating him. He is targeted everywhere. There is no hope of becoming an official in this life.

After much difficulty, they raised an eldest son, who was admitted to a technical secondary school and became a glorious technical secondary school student. He was envied by every family in the courtyard. But now, because he had no hope for a future in the city, he fled the city and ran to the northwest, and his whereabouts are unknown.

The remaining two sons have become ungrateful and severed ties with their biological father, and switched to the enemy's side. They have become the enemy's lackeys and are against their father in every way. He is really panicking now, wondering if there will be no one to take care of him in his old age.

Now his enemy is doing very well. At such a young age, with only two years of training, he has been promoted to deputy section chief and become a full-fledged administrative cadre. How embarrassed is he?

So Liu Haizhong was very depressed now, and he wanted to kill Lin Geng with a knife to relieve his hatred, but he didn't dare to. First, he didn't want to die yet, and second, even if he fought with Lin Geng desperately, he might not be able to beat Lin Geng, and he might even be killed by Lin Geng on the spot.

Now he could do nothing except feel helpless and furious, so he could only hide at home and drink alone. The more he drank, the more uncomfortable he felt, and the angrier he became.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Liu Haizhong was stunned. No one had visited his house for a long time in the past year. Occasionally, only Qin Huairu, who shared the same suffering as him, would come to his house to complain. Who was knocking on his door at this time?

So Liu Haizhong waved to his wife, and his wife got up to open the door, only to see Qin Huairu walking in with a bottle of wine and a small plate of peanuts.

Liu Haizhong didn't have much good feelings towards Qin Huairu. He also knew that Qin Huairu was not a woman who would live a peaceful and obedient life. She was very scheming and shameless. However, now that he was in the courtyard, except for Qin Huairu who would occasionally hang out with him, everyone else ignored him. So over the past year or so, he could only hang out with Qin Huairu occasionally.

Seeing Qin Huairu coming in, Liu Haizhong didn't stand up. He frowned and asked Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, what are you doing here?"

Qin Huairu smiled at Liu Haizhong's wife, put the wine and peanuts on the table, sat down and said to Liu Haizhong: "Second Uncle! I'm not feeling well, so I wanted to come over and talk to you! I just happened to have some wine at home, so I brought it to you!"

Liu Haizhong really enjoys Qin Huairu calling him Second Uncle. Although he had been demoted a long time ago and is no longer the Second Uncle, this is a title he has always missed. Now, except for Qin Huairu who still calls him Second Uncle, no one in the yard remembers that he is still the Second Uncle of this yard.

So Liu Haizhong smiled, waved his hand at Qin Huairu and said, "Don't call me Second Uncle, I'm not Second Uncle anymore!"

Qin Huairu said angrily, "No! No matter if you are the second uncle now or not, I still recognize you as the second uncle! Think about how many good things you have done for the residents in the yard in the past. Now those people are a bunch of ungrateful people who don't remember your kindness at all!"

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong suddenly felt that he had met a soulmate and that Qin Huairu understood him the best. So he smiled bitterly and sighed, and asked his wife to get Qin Huairu a pair of chopsticks and a wine glass so that they could have a drink together.

After Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong clinked glasses, her eyes turned red as she complained to Liu Haizhong: "Second Uncle, look at the life our two families are living now! You've lost a lot of weight, and you do hard labor in the factory every day, and I sweep the floor in the factory, and I only get 22.5 yuan a month! This life is really unbearable! Woo woo!"

As Qin Huairu said this, she started to cry.

Liu Haizhong slammed the table with a dark face and cursed in a low voice: "Who said it wasn't true? This is all the work of that guy surnamed Lin! If it weren't for him, how could we live like this?

Didn't I just want to buy his workstation? If he doesn't want to sell it, then don't sell it. Why is he trying to screw me over like this? I've taken good care of him in the past, you ungrateful bastard!"

When Liu Haizhong said this, he was really shameless. The Lin family lived in the middle courtyard and his family lived in the back courtyard. When the Lin family was an orphan and a widow, when had he ever helped the mother and son? If you ask him to say one thing now, I guess he wouldn't be able to think of one even if he dried his brains, but he said such words.
