Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Chapter 436 Family Interrogation

Bang Geng originally hated Lin Geng very much. Just as his grandmother said, why did Lin Geng, a little beast without parents, occupy two big houses? He didn't deserve it at all. Moreover, Lin Geng had been eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks every day in the past two years, and had big fish and meat every day, while their family could only eat coarse grain steamed bread, cornmeal porridge, and pickles?

His grandmother had long said that if the Lin family had good things, they should give them to his family to eat. Why should Lin Geng eat the good things but not give them to their family? That's why he went to steal from Lin Geng's house.

However, the two times he went to Lin Geng's house to steal things, he not only failed to steal anything delicious, but also got injured. The first time, three of his fingers were pinched by the mousetrap set by Lin Geng. After his hand finally healed, he broke his leg at Lin's house again, and until now he has trouble walking with one leg.

So Banggeng now hates Lin Geng to death and wishes Lin Geng would die. He actually dared to bully his mother today, so he will definitely not let Lin Geng off.

At this moment, Lin Geng didn't care what Qin Huairu and Banggeng thought. After he rode his bicycle out and took Yu Li with him, he didn't send Yu Li home immediately. Instead, he asked Yu Li if she wanted to go to the park or the mall. Yu Li didn't want to go home early at this time and wanted to spend more time with Lin, so she agreed.

Lin Geng had a good impression of Yu Li, so he took her around the city and went to the Temple of Heaven. Lin Geng bought two bottles of soda, and they chatted while wandering around, asking each other about some family matters.

Through casual chatting, Lin Geng got to know more about the Yu family. He knew that the Yu family's current living conditions were very ordinary, but he was not dissatisfied with this. Anyway, he had already become a small rich man. Not only did he own two courtyard houses left to him by the Lou family, but he also had saved tens of thousands of yuan. This did not include the antiques he had collected in the pigeon market, trust stores and antique shops in the past two years.

In addition, Lin Geng has used Qian San to exchange various supplies for a lot of small yellow croakers in the past two years. He has stored up a small box, at least several kilograms, which is worth a lot of money if converted into money.

In addition, he also exchanged a lot of stamps, all of which were very precious stamps in later generations. Any one of them was worth a lot of money. That’s not all. It was almost 1965, and the second set of banknotes issued by Longguo was about to be withdrawn from circulation. Lin Geng had already exchanged a lot of brand new second set banknotes in advance and stored them in the space. In later generations, these were all authentic coin collections in the market and would definitely be priceless.

So Lin Geng is really not short of money now, so naturally he has no objection to the fact that Yu Li's family is almost in financial condition. Anyway, even if he is asked to pay to support Yu Li's family, it is just a piece of cake for him and he doesn't have to worry about anything at all.

Through chatting with Yu Li, Lin had a better impression of her. Yu Li was indeed a sensible girl and also quite hardworking. Even after graduating from junior high school, due to family conditions, she did not continue her studies and did not find a formal job. However, she had been doing odd jobs with her mother, or taking on some work making matchboxes for the street office, to earn money to share the family's burden and supplement the household expenses.

Lin Geng felt that he was already very satisfied to be able to achieve this. In addition, Yu Li was originally good-looking. In the original drama, after marrying Yan Jiecheng and moving to the Siheyuan, she was regarded as another beautiful girl in the Siheyuan besides Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e.

So Lin Geng was basically certain that he was willing to marry Yu Li. As long as Yu Li lived a good life with him, he would not ask for anything else in this life.

Anyway, he is already considered a rich man now. In the next ten years or so, he can save a lot of capital, and have enough capital to do business after the reform and opening up. Yu Li can completely serve as his good wife and become his right-hand man, and that is enough.

As it was getting dark, Lin Geng originally wanted to invite Yu Li to Quanjude or Donglaishun for another meal, but Yu Li firmly rejected Lin Geng's suggestion, saying that there was no need to spend so much money. They had already had a good meal at his house at noon, so Lin Geng should not spend any more money.

Besides, she has been out for such a long time today, and her parents are waiting for her news at home. If she doesn't go back, her parents will be worried and won't eat out in the evening.

After listening to this, Lin Geng chuckled and thought that Yu Li was really good. Before they got married, she already knew how to save money for him. This was good. At least Yu Li was not a woman who loved to take advantage like Qin Huairu, nor was she a vain woman. This was enough.

So Lin Geng did not insist and made an appointment to take Yu Li to go fishing next week. After Yu Li happily agreed, he sent Yu Li back to their home. However, Lin Geng did not follow her into Yu Li's yard. After all, they had just met today and it would not be appropriate to go directly to her home.

Yu Li stood at the door and watched Lin Geng get on his bike and disappear at the end of the alley. Only then did a smile appear on Yu Li's face and she went home happily.

When she just walked in, she saw her parents and sister looking at her, so she looked embarrassed, coughed awkwardly, and greeted the three of them with a guilty smile: "Why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you going to eat yet?"

At this time, her sister, Yu Haitang, who was the announcer of the steel mill in the original drama, jumped over and hugged Yu Li's arm, and asked in a mean way: "Sister, tell me how the person you went on a blind date with today is doing? My parents and I have been waiting for you at home for a long time. Why did you come back just now? Hurry up, tell us! How is that person?"

At this time, Yu's father and mother were also looking at Yu Li with anticipation, waiting for Yu Li to satisfy their curiosity.

Yu Li blushed and said shyly, "It's OK! We had a good chat!"

Yu Haitang kept shaking Yu Li's arm and continued to ask, "That's it? Tell us quickly, what are the specific conditions of that person?"

Father and Mother Yu couldn't help their curiosity at this time, and smiled at Li and said, "Xiao Li, you should tell us about the young man's situation, so that we can rest assured!"

So Yu Li could only sit down helplessly and told her family about the blind date with Lin Geng today. She also did not forget to tell her family about Qin Huairu stopping her and saying bad things about Lin Geng.

When Yu's father and mother heard that Qin Huairu actually wanted to ruin the blind date between their daughter and such a good guy like Lin Geng, they immediately flew into a rage. Yu's mother was about to get up on the spot and go find Qin Huairu to settle the score.

But Yu Li hurriedly stopped her mother and said to her, "Mom, please don't make trouble. Director Wang has already said that this matter will be reported to the leaders of the steel rolling mill for handling tomorrow. If the factory does not handle it, their street office will not let Qin Huairu go! It is not appropriate for you to cause trouble for Qin Huairu!"
