Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

After Lin Geng and Yu Li got married, they lived a very sweet life. Yu Li didn't want to be supported by Lin Geng at home all the time, and wanted to find a job. So Lin Geng used his connections to find a job for Yu Li in a supply and marketing cooperative not far from home, making Yu Li a glorious salesperson.

You have to know that in this era, being able to work in a supply and marketing cooperative was already a very good job. It was more prestigious than being a worker in a factory. Especially when it came to buying things, the prerequisite of being close to the water and getting the moon first made it very convenient for the salespersons in the supply and marketing cooperatives. Many people had to curry favor with them in order to buy some popular commodities.

Most people wouldn't even think about a job like this, but for Lin Geng, it was not a big deal at all. He simply relied on the connections he had accumulated over time and gave the current director of the supply and marketing cooperative a ginseng grown in the small world. He then easily arranged for Yu Li to work at a nearby supply and marketing cooperative.

This made Yu's father and mother very happy. They didn't expect that Lin Geng's connections were so wide. Lin Geng could easily solve things that others wouldn't even dare to dream of. This really made Yu's father and mother look at Lin Geng with a new respect.

Originally, Yu's father and mother wanted to ask Lin Geng to arrange Yu Haitang to the supply and marketing cooperative as well, but Lin Geng did not agree to this. He used the excuse that he had just arranged Yu Li to the supply and marketing cooperative, and it would be difficult to ask for Yu Haitang to be arranged there as well, so they would have to wait for a year or two.

Seeing that Lin Geng didn't want to arrange her to the supply and marketing cooperative, Yu Haitang was very angry. She didn't know how she met Director Yang's nephew. After his fierce pursuit, she became a relationship with him.

At the beginning of 1965, through Director Yang's connections, his nephew finally succeeded in arranging Yu Haitang to the Propaganda Department of the steel rolling mill, as in the original plot, and made her the announcer of the steel rolling mill.

But even though Yu Haitang and Director Yang's nephew were dating, she was always lukewarm towards the young man named Yang Liming. Even when the two were dating, Yu Haitang would often quarrel with him and they never talked about marriage, just keeping Director Yang's nephew hanging.

Later, after Yu Haitang had been working as an announcer in the factory for a few months, Yang Liming finally couldn't stand Yu Haitang's bad temper and took the initiative to break up with Yu Haitang. Yu Haitang didn't try to keep him, and the two of them broke up.

After Yu Haitang had a falling out with Yang Liming, she started going to Purchasing Section 4 whenever she had nothing to do to chat with Lin Geng. Unfortunately, Lin Geng rarely stayed in the factory. Except for coming to the factory for meetings every Monday morning and occasionally delivering some supplies to complete tasks, he basically seldom came to the factory.

So even after Yu Haitang entered the steel rolling mill, she often couldn't find Lin Geng. She could only come with high hopes and return disappointed every time, and she was full of resentment towards Lin Geng.

Even if Yu Haitang occasionally met Lin Geng in the factory, Lin Geng kept his distance from Haitang. He just exchanged a few polite words with Yu Haitang, and then found an excuse to slip away, not giving Yu Haitang any chance to pester him.

Yu Haitang still had some thoughts about Lin Geng in her heart, even though she knew very well that if she seduced Lin Geng, it would be a very shameful thing. Not only would she be ruined, but Lin Geng would also be ruined. By then, both of them might be paraded through the streets or even thrown into jail.

But Yu Haitang could not help wanting to get close to Lin Geng. In her eyes, there were few men who could compare to Lin Geng. At night, she would always dream about Lin Geng uncontrollably. Lin Geng almost became her elusive demon. The more she could not get him, the more itchy she felt.

However, her little thoughts were of no use to Lin Geng. Lin Geng had never thought about the beautiful story of Ehuang and Nvying, or the happiness of having two wives. In this era, it was impossible to even think about it. If he really dared to marry Yu Li and take Yu Haitang in at the same time, once the plan failed, it would definitely not be as simple as ruining his reputation.

With Yu Haitang's personality, if he dared to touch her, she would definitely compete with Yu Li for her. By then, the whole city would be in an uproar and it would be impossible to hide it.

Even though Xu Damao, that pervert, often fools around with some women outside and nothing has ever happened, he is actually a smart man and does things very secretly. Most of the time, the women he hooks up with are some pretty widows from large villages in the countryside when he goes there. Everyone understands this tacitly and gets what they want. So even though this guy has been having a lot of fun outside, nothing has ever happened.

In the original drama, the reason why he seduced Qin Jingru was mainly because he couldn't bear to see his mortal enemy Sha Zhu doing well. When he saw Qin Huairu introduce Qin Jingru to Sha Zhu for a blind date, he wanted to ruin Sha Zhu's marriage and make Sha Zhu unable to get married and be a bachelor for the rest of his life. That's why he tried every means to seduce Qin Jingru and take Qin Jingru's blood.

But things did happen later, which led to Lou Xiao'e's divorce from him in the original drama. In addition, Qin Huairu gave Qin Jingru advice and made a fake pregnancy certificate, which forced Xu Damao, who was eager to have a child, to marry Qin Jingru.

Even though Lin Geng thought that he was not a true gentleman who could remain calm in the face of temptation, he had never thought of enjoying the beauty of Ehuang and Nvying, let alone the happiness of having three wives. What's more, he looked down on Yu Haitang's noisy nature and would never have any inappropriate thoughts about her.

So Lin Geng always insisted on keeping a distance from Yu Haitang and never gave Yu Haitang any chance. After a long time, Yu Haitang's feelings for Lin Geng gradually faded, and she no longer thought about Lin Geng from time to time.

Lin Geng's married life is still very harmonious. Both Lin Geng and Yu Li feel very happy about their union. Yu Li is actually a gentle woman, but she has her own opinions and is very considerate to Lin Geng.

After marrying Lin Geng, even after she went to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, Yu Li would rush home after get off work every day. After returning home, if Lin Geng was cooking, she would do the laundry and clean, and the two of them kept the house in tidy order.

The only thing that made Yu Li a little dissatisfied was the sexual intercourse between the couple. It was not that Lin Geng was not good enough, but that Lin Geng was too strong. Before, Yu Li knew very little about the sexual intercourse between men and women because Yunying was not married. She only occasionally heard some old ladies from the neighborhood talk about this matter without restraint, but she only heard a little bit and did not actually know much.

But after getting married and going to work, some married women gathered together in the company and occasionally talked about some funny stories between couples. Only then did Yu Li realize how much stronger Lin Geng was compared with the husbands of her colleagues. So after making love with Lin Geng, she often felt exhausted and had some back pain.

So Yu Li was somewhat worried that she could not meet Lin Geng's needs, and felt helpless about it. She even occasionally thought that if it really didn't work, she should let Lin Geng find a lover outside, who could at least help her share some of the pressure.

But if Lin Geng really found a lover outside, she felt that she would be very sad, so after marriage, she was often worried about this matter.

However, Lin Geng did not disappoint her. He was always very good to Yu Li after marriage and never had any affairs outside, which made Yu Li very relieved.
