Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

After thinking for a while, Lin Geng did not answer Yan Jiecheng directly, but asked Yan Jiecheng: "Have you discussed this with your father before you came to me?"

Yan Jiecheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No! Do you think he would agree if I discussed it with him? He would rather lend me the money himself so that I can buy a workstation than let me spare him and borrow money from you to buy a workstation!

Given his personality, if he lends me money, he will definitely ask me to pay him back with interest, and the interest will definitely be very high!

I don't want to be controlled by him anymore! So I figured it out. If I don't come to you myself, I will never be able to escape from their schemes in this life!

I've had enough of this kind of life! I also want to live like Guangtian and Guangfu!"

Lin Geng raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly realized what Yan Jiecheng wanted to do. After seeing that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were now free from Liu Haizhong's control and were living a free and easy life, he also wanted to get rid of the control of Yan Bugui and his wife and leave the Yan family completely.

In this way, didn't he advance the process of Yan Jiecheng's departure from the Yan family by many years? You should know that in the original play, after Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li got married, they lived in the Yan family all the time, and after the reform and opening up, they lived with Yan Bugui and his wife for a long time.

But if he helped Yan Jiecheng find a job now, it seemed that Yan Jiecheng wanted to break away from Yan Bugui and his wife right now and completely get rid of their control and domination.

So he raised his eyebrows, looked up at Yan Jiecheng, and asked, "What you mean is, if I help you find a job, you plan to move out and start your own business like Guangtian and Guangfu, and completely break away from your parents?"

Yan Jiecheng's face immediately showed a look of expectation, and he nodded without hesitation: "Yes! As long as I find a job and can support myself, I will move out immediately! I don't want to be schemed against by my parents every day!"

Lin Geng nodded, thought for a while, and said to Yan Jiecheng: "Okay, I understand! But I can't answer you immediately, I need to think about it first. After all, it's not easy to find a job in the city now, and I also need an opportunity!

But you have to think it through. I can't pay for you to buy a workstation. If I find you a job, you have to pay for it yourself. I can lend you money, but you have to pay me back!"

When Yan Jiecheng heard Lin Geng's words, he knew that Lin Geng basically agreed to help him, so he quickly stood up and thanked Lin Geng repeatedly, promising that he would definitely pay Lin Geng back and that it would be best if he could find a job for him that was as far away from their courtyard as possible. In this way, he would have even more reasons to move out, as he really didn't want to have to face his parents' faces every day.

After Lin Geng sent Yan Jiecheng away, he started cooking. While cooking, he was thinking about Yan Jiecheng. Suddenly, a dangerous curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Since Yan Bugui's chronic illness is now difficult to cure, he has forgotten how to get along with him, and has plotted against him, and even dared to take advantage of his absence to cause trouble for Yu Li, then he doesn't mind teaching this old guy a profound lesson.

Based on his understanding of Yan Bugui, if he paid for Yan Jiecheng's job, then according to his character, he would definitely find ways to double the money back from Yan Jiecheng, and most of Yan Jiecheng's salary would be put into his hands by him using various excuses.

If he really arranged a job for Yan Jiecheng, and Yan Jiecheng escaped from the Yan family and started his own business, so that Yan Bugui could not calculate Yan Jiecheng's salary, Yan Bugui would probably be so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

So he made up his mind completely, his mood improved, and he whistled and started cooking. He baked a few scallion oil buns, fried some dried radish and bacon, and fried some scallion eggs, just waiting for Li to come back from get off work.

He had just finished cooking the dishes and Yu Li had not yet gotten off work, but Yan Bugui arrived first.

Yan Bugui skipped work and left early as usual, and returned to the courtyard before most of the residents who went to work. He usually came back early just to guard the gate and see who brought anything back. He wanted to find ways to take advantage of them, even if it was just plucking a scallion, a head of garlic, or a potato, he would be proud for a long time.

However, he did not come back today, so he guarded the gate and asked his wife. He learned that Lin Geng had returned today, so he immediately came to the Lin family in the central courtyard.

"Xiao Lin is back?" Yan Bugui knocked on the door of the Lin family with a shy face. After seeing Lin Geng, he said to Lin Geng with a smile.

Lin Geng said with a sullen face: "Yan Bugui, you are so capable now! You dare to bully my wife when I am not at home! I just want to ask, who gave you the courage?"

Lin didn't even give Yan Bugui a chance to speak, and he started attacking Yan Bugui directly, with a fake smile and a cold tone.

Yan Bugui's expression froze, and he showed a nervous and embarrassed look on his face. He forced a smile and said to Lin Geng: "Xiao Lin, how can you say that? How dare I bully your Xiao Li? This is all a misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!

I came here that day just to ask you what was going on with the job you assigned to Liu Shufen in the backyard. How could it be bullying your Xiaoli? Don't listen to some people's nonsense!

Over the past two years, we have always gotten along well. Based on our relationship, I can't possibly bully Xiaoli!"

Lin Geng didn't give Yan Bugui any face at all, and snorted coldly, "Stop it! Don't say anything, and don't quibble!

Yan Bugui, considering that we had a fairly so-so relationship in the past, I am telling you today that this is the first and last time. If I find out that you bully my wife again, you'd better consider whether you can withstand my punishment!

But from today on, our previous relationship has come to an end. From now on you live your life, I live mine, and if there is nothing else, we should stop interacting with each other!

You want to take advantage of me? No way. This is all your own fault! Don't blame me!"

Yan Bugui's face fell when he heard this. He really regretted it now. He regretted plotting against Lin Geng and shouldn't have gotten carried away and come to cause trouble for Yu Li. Now, he had completely pissed off Lin Geng. He had suffered a great loss and it would be difficult for him to take advantage of Lin Geng again in the future.

So Yan Bugui said hurriedly: "Not really, not really! That Xiao Lin! I don't have any bad intentions. It's all because of poverty! If I didn't plan my life carefully, my family would have gone bankrupt long ago!

I will change in the future! I will change, okay? You can't get angry with me for such a small matter! We are neighbors, we see each other every day, how can we just stop interacting? Don't you think so? "
