Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

But Liu Haizhong did not hinder Lin Geng from holding the wedding. According to the time agreed upon with the Yu family, Lin Geng set up several tables in the courtyard. Others could not get the ingredients, but it was a small matter for Lin Geng. The things he raised and grew in his own little world were enough.

Therefore, Lin Geng's wedding banquet was very well organized. Although there were only eight dishes and two soups on each table, there were meat, chicken and fish. In addition, He Daqing and Sha Zhu, father and son, cooked together, and the dishes tasted quite good. Everyone who came to the banquet gave a thumbs up and praised Lin Geng for his generosity.

Moreover, many leaders in the factory came to Lin Geng's wedding. Director Yang was too arrogant and did not come in person, but he still asked his secretary to come and deliver gifts. Li Huaide came in person, which shows that Li Huaide attached great importance to Lin Geng.

As for the factory's purchasing chief, security chief, logistics director, and some workshop directors, they all came in person to congratulate Lin Geng upon hearing the news.

As for the gift money, Li Huaide originally wanted to give Lin Gengfeng 50 yuan as a gift money, but Lin Geng declined, saying that it was not appropriate to give too much gift money for his marriage, otherwise it would be used by some people with ulterior motives and publicized, which would not be good for him or the leaders of the factory.

So if they must give a gift, it cannot be more than five yuan, which is already quite high, because for ordinary people attending other people's weddings, giving a gift of one yuan is considered good. So Li Huaide asked the leaders of the factory who attended Lin Geng's wedding to only give a gift of five yuan each, so as to avoid any trouble.

As for Mr. and Mrs. Liu, because Mr. Liu had some matters to attend to in the army, he could not come back, so he asked Aunt Zhang to come over. She also gave Lin Geng a generous gift and took the bride, Yu Li, to talk for a long time.

However, Yan Bugui still had his own little plan. He found Lin Geng and took the initiative to take over the job of collecting gift money for Lin Geng. On the day of Lin Geng's wedding, he moved a table and placed it at the door. He was responsible for collecting and recording the gift money from the guests who came to congratulate Lin Geng, which offset the gift money he gave to Lin Geng.

Of course Lin Geng could see through the little tricks in Yan Bugui's mind, but he didn't bother with him. After all, this old man has been like this all his life, and it was already commendable that he didn't scheme against him.

The neighbors in the yard have become much more harmonious now that the Jia family is gone. Lin Geng asked Yan Bugui to notify each household in advance, but because there are a limited number of tables, only one person from each household can attend. If there are more people, there will be no room.

Therefore, none of the neighbors in the yard wanted to offend Lin Geng, so they all obeyed the rules. On the wedding day, only one person came from each household.

However, Lin Geng was not stingy. He took out some other ingredients and asked Sha Zhu to cook a big pot of dish with chicken, meat, tofu, cabbage, vermicelli and other things. He delivered a pot of it to every household, which made the residents of the courtyard very happy. Even if they could not sit at the table for the feast, they were very satisfied to have a bowl of greasy big pot dish. Everyone in the courtyard praised Lin Geng for his magnanimity.

However, Lin Geng did not inform the leaders of the factories and mines with whom he was in contact. Otherwise, even if he put up twenty tables in the yard, there would probably not be enough space for everyone, which would seem too ostentatious.

Even though the wind hasn't officially started yet, one can already smell the tension in the air. At this time, Lin Geng decided to keep a low profile to avoid being caught and troubled by others after the wind starts.

At Yu's side, Yu's father and mother brought Yu Haitang and several relatives to the courtyard. Lin Geng prepared a table specially for their family members at home. Yu's father and mother saw so many leaders from the factory coming at once, even the deputy director Li Huaide came to congratulate Lin Geng in person. Even though the director did not come, he sent his secretary over. They did not dare to underestimate Lin Geng anymore.

Moreover, they were very satisfied with the wedding prepared by Lin Geng. When picking up the bride, Lin Geng did not look for a car, but instead gathered a group of friends, each of whom rode a bicycle. Liu Guangtian rode a tricycle and followed to pull the dowry. This was already quite impressive among ordinary people.

In addition, Lin Geng also presented a betrothal gift of 100 yuan as promised, bought new clothes and shoes for Yu's father and mother, and pawned all the three turns and one ring in advance. As for the furniture, there were thirty-six legs, not one missing, which made the Yu family earn enough face.

The Yu family was very satisfied with this. As for the dowry, they prepared several new quilts for Yu Li and bought her a new set of clothes. This also made many young girls and wives envious. For this reason, the Yu family even borrowed a lot of cotton and cloth coupons to make up such a dowry.

When Yu's father and mother brought a few relatives to No. 95 Courtyard for a banquet that day, they were all very happy, except Yu Haitang, who looked resentful. She would glance at Lin Geng from time to time, and she could not hide the resentful expression on her face.

She went crazy that day and asked Yu Li to give Lin Geng to her. After that, she was beaten up by Yu's father. Although she admitted her mistake verbally, she was not convinced in her heart. She still thought about having a chance to compete with her sister secretly. However, Lin Geng and Yu Li did not give her any chance. They quickly got the marriage certificate first. On the day of getting the certificate, Yu Li stayed at Lin Geng's house and became husband and wife with Lin Geng.

Although doing so would more or less make people feel that Yu Li was a little disrespectful, even if she got the marriage certificate, she would be laughed at for living with a man without a wedding. However, Yu Haitang was extremely jealous and could only watch Lin Geng and her sister come to this point. She would no longer have the chance to compete with her sister for Lin Geng, a capable man.

Regardless of whether she was happy or not, the fact that Lin Geng was getting married to her sister had already become a fact, which made Yu Haitang feel quite uncomfortable. What made her even more uncomfortable was that Lin Geng always seemed to be indifferent to her, and even when he bought clothes and shoes for her parents, he didn't prepare any share for her, which made Yu Haitang very angry.

She couldn't understand why Lin Geng was so uninterested in her. She was obviously taller, prettier and more educated than her sister, but Lin Geng was never willing to even look at her. This hit Yu Haitang hard and made her feel frustrated.

So today, when Lin Geng was picking up the bride, Yu Haitang felt jealous when she saw the handsome and sunny Lin Geng. When she came to Lin Geng's house for the banquet, she saw that Lin Geng had a face full of resentment.

Yu Haitang's performance was noticed by Lin Geng, but Lin Geng had no feelings for Haitang at all and never even looked at her. However, when he saw Yu Li, his eyes were full of tenderness, which made Yu Haitang feel a little uncomfortable. For the first time in her life, she was so jealous of her sister for finding such a good man like Lin Geng.

Overall, Lin Geng's wedding was quite successful, mainly because there was no trouble like the Jia family in the courtyard. Otherwise, the Jia family alone would have ruined the atmosphere of the banquet.

In addition, the old silver coin Yi Zhonghai has also gone offline. Liu Haizhong and his wife are still in the hospital, turning into lone warriors, so that no one in the yard dares to make any trouble.
