Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Yu's mother felt a little embarrassed, so she asked Yu Li to send Lin Geng off. She also asked Lin Geng how he felt after drinking so much. Lin Geng smiled and said he was fine. Seeing that Lin Geng looked calm, Yu's mother felt that Lin Geng's alcohol tolerance was indeed quite impressive, and he didn't look like he was drunk. So she let Lin Geng leave with peace of mind.

Yu Li sent Lin Geng out of the yard, and watched him leave reluctantly only after he had walked a long way away. Yu Li was extremely satisfied with Lin Geng's performance during his visit to her home. Lin Geng had earned enough face for her and her family, and made all the neighbors in their yard envious. This also indirectly showed that Lin Geng attached great importance to her. After this incident, the relationship between the two was completely established.

But the only thing that bothered Yu Li was her sister's behavior. She was also very smart and could see through her sister Yu Haitang's little thoughts at once. Yu Haitang also had a crush on Lin Geng and wanted to get close to Lin Geng intentionally or unintentionally.

As an elder sister, although she was very angry, she couldn't lose her temper. Fortunately, what made her feel at ease was that Lin Geng seemed very impatient with Haitang. He never looked at Yu Haitang directly from beginning to end, and even when talking to Yu Haitang, he was very perfunctory, which made Yu Li very happy.

After that, the relationship between Yu Li and Lin Geng developed very smoothly. Whenever they had nothing to do, the two of them would spend time together. Lin Geng often took Yu Li around the city to play, either taking her ice skating or taking her to check in everywhere. Sometimes he even took her to ice-crack and fish. The relationship between the two quickly heated up.

As a person who has tasted the sweetness of love, Lin Geng knows that when two people are together, there will inevitably be some sweet words, or pulling and tugging, kissing and hugging, and before long, they have done everything that can be done except the last step.

When things developed to this point, everything was a natural progression. Lin Geng had no elders, so he took Yu Li to Old Liu's house and let Old Liu and Aunt Zhang meet Yu Li.

Old Liu and Aunt Zhang were actually very concerned about Lin Geng's marriage. They had previously planned to find a girl for Lin Geng in the military compound, but Lin Geng refused. He did not want to marry into a family of such a high-class background, so he politely declined Aunt Zhang's offer to arrange a marriage for him.

Now that Director Wang introduced Yu Li to him, he felt very satisfied, so he formally introduced Yu Li to Lao Liu and Aunt Zhang. This made Lao Liu and Aunt Zhang very happy, and they entertained Yu Li very grandly at home. Aunt Zhang even took Yu Li aside to ask questions and talked with her for a long time.

Only then did Yu Li know that Lin Geng actually knew a senior general like Lao Liu and had even saved Lao Liu's life. Yu Li was shocked to have such a powerful backer and she no longer dared to underestimate Lin Geng.

After Aunt Zhang chatted with Yu Li for a long time, she was quite satisfied with Yu Li's personality and other aspects. She held Yu Li's hand, patted the back of her hand, and told Yu Li to live a good life with Lin Geng. They were not young anymore, so she advised them to get married early.

In addition, Aunt Zhang secretly took out a gold bracelet and gave it to Yu Li, saying that Lin Geng was now alone and had no parents to help him arrange a marriage, so this bracelet was an engagement gift from her to Yu Li on behalf of Lin Geng's parents.

Yu Li didn't dare to accept it at first, but couldn't bear Aunt Zhang's insistence, and Lin Geng finally nodded and let Yu Li accept the gold bracelet. Although it couldn't be worn normally, it could be kept at home and could be worn one day.

Now Old Liu and Aunt Zhang are extremely grateful to Lin Geng. Not to mention that Lin Geng saved Old Liu's life, just because of the nourishing pills Lin Geng gave them, Old Liu's lame leg has basically recovered. After exercise, he can walk normally and may even be able to run in the future.

Aunt Zhang's health has also improved significantly after taking the nourishing pills prepared by Lin Geng. She is now in much better shape and has a stronger resistance. She has not been sick since then. She used to feel tired after walking a short distance, but now she can walk a long way when she goes out for a walk without feeling tired.

The old couple felt that they had more energy, as if they had regained their youth. Naturally, they were very grateful to Lin Geng and really treated Lin Geng as their own child.

Old Liu caught Lin Geng and solemnly told him to get married as soon as possible, saying that he was not young anymore and Yu Li was a good child, so they should not delay any longer and should get married early and have a few children. He also said that after they had children, it would be fine for Aunt Zhang to help them take care of the children.

So Lin thought about it and agreed. After this period of contact and understanding, he also had a comprehensive understanding of Yu Li's character. Basically, he did not find any flaws in Yu Li's character. She was indeed a suitable partner with whom he could spend the rest of his life.

Since Old Liu, Aunt Zhang, and Yu Li's parents all wanted them to get married earlier, Lin Geng no longer hesitated and agreed. A few days later, Lin Geng asked Yan Bugui to help him propose to the Yu family, and the Yu family agreed without hesitation.

However, there is something a bit bad about Lin Geng asking Yan Bugui to help him propose marriage to the Yu family. You should know that in the original drama, Yu Li is the daughter-in-law of the Yan family and married to Yan Jiecheng. But after he appeared, he messed up the plot of the original drama, and now he has accidentally snatched away Yan Jiecheng's wife.

As for the matter of proposing marriage, he actually asked Yan Bugui to help him propose the marriage. It seemed that Lin had some evil intentions in this matter.

But Yan Bugui didn't know this! He happily ran to help Lin Geng go to the Yu family to propose marriage. When Yan Bugui asked Lin Geng how much dowry he was going to give to the Yu family, Lin Geng directly said that he would give the Yu family a dowry of 100 yuan, which shocked Yan Bugui.

You have to know that in this era, the bride price is basically just a symbolic amount. In rural areas, it is about five or ten yuan. In cities, under normal circumstances, the wedding of ordinary people is about ten or twenty yuan. Even for wealthier families, such as the children of military compounds, the bride price is only fifty yuan.

For families like Lin Geng and the Yu family, normally giving a twenty-yuan betrothal gift would be considered an honor. However, Lin Geng actually offered the Yu family a hundred yuan betrothal gift. How could Yan Bugui not be shocked and jealous?

If his daughter Yan Jiedi wasn't too young, he would have wanted to marry his daughter to Lin Geng.

So when Yan Bugui and the Yu family discussed the betrothal gift, the Yu family said it was fine with or without a betrothal gift, but Yan Bugui generously told Yu Li's parents that Lin Geng had said that he was going to give the Yu family a betrothal gift of 100 yuan, which shocked Yu Li's parents a little. They even said that they didn't need so much, and if they really wanted to give, 10 or 20 yuan would be enough.

But in the end, Lin Geng still insisted on giving the Yu family a betrothal gift of one hundred yuan. Seeing that Lin Geng insisted, Yu's father and mother had no choice but to agree.
