Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

After the couple left the hospital, Lin Geng carefully took Yu Li and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative, where they bought a lot of melon seeds, candies, peanuts, cigarettes and alcohol. When they returned to the courtyard, Lin Geng smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. Many people could see that Lin Geng was in a good mood today, so they cooperated and asked Lin Geng and his wife what good things had happened.

As soon as Lin Geng entered the door, he met Yan Bugui's wife. However, since he had a deep talk with Yan Bugui that day, Yan Bugui and his wife no longer guarded the gate of the courtyard and tried every means to take advantage of their neighbors. Moreover, the quality of the Yan family's food was obviously much better.

In addition, the two remaining children in the Yan family, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi, seem to have become more lively during this period, and they have changed into new clothes and shoes.

Even Yan Bugui himself has changed a lot. He no longer skips work early every morning to run back to the courtyard to guard the gate. Instead, he goes to get off work and comes home on time every day. Although he still goes fishing and grows flowers at the weekends, he no longer stares at the things his neighbors bring in and out every day.

Everyone clearly felt the changes in Yan Bugui's family, and they also discovered that Lin Geng seemed to have reconciled with Yan Bugui and his wife. When they met, he was no longer cold and hostile to them like he had been some time ago. Instead, he would greet Yan Bugui and his wife with a smile, and occasionally stop to chat with them. As a result, everyone gradually began to talk and laugh with Yan Bugui and his wife again, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became much more peaceful.

As soon as Lin Geng entered the door, he saw Yan Bugui's wife first, so he greeted her with a smile, and then took out a handful of melon seeds, peanuts and candies and gave them to her. Yan Bugui's wife was very surprised and asked Lin Geng and his wife what good things had happened to them today.

Lin Geng didn't hide it. There was no point in hiding it. In a few months, once Yu Li showed she was pregnant, it would be impossible to hide it. It would be better to admit it openly.

So Lin Geng told Yan Bugui's wife that Yu Li was pregnant and he was going to have a child. Yan Bugui's wife was quite happy to hear that. After all, their two families had reconciled now. After Yan Bugui's explanation, Aunt Yan also realized that it was not right for them to be so calculating before. Now she also realized that the child is growing up now, and there is not much point in being as frugal as before.

Instead of destroying their family affection, it is better to restore the affection between them and their children while there is still a chance, so as to avoid the situation where their children do not respect them or care about them when they are old, which would be miserable for the couple in their old age.

Yan Bugui's wife was also very grateful to Lin Geng for teaching her man in this way. The thought made her feel a little scared. If Lin Geng didn't wake them up, and they continued like this, who knows who would take care of the four children in the family when they were old.

After a few days, at least now Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi's attitude towards them has obviously improved a lot, and they have become much more affectionate, which makes them feel some hope.

So now Yan Bugui and his wife's attitude towards Lin Geng and his wife has become much better. When they heard that Yu Li was pregnant, they immediately smiled and congratulated Lin Geng and Yu Li. They also immediately started to take Yu Li aside and teach her the experience of preserving the fetus, telling Yu Li not to get bumped or tired when she just got pregnant.

Seeing that Yan Bugui and his wife had undergone a significant change under Lin Geng's teachings, Yu Li no longer held a grudge against them for the past and thanked her with a smile. The news of Yu Li's pregnancy soon spread in the yard. Lin Geng smiled as if a chrysanthemum had bloomed and distributed candies, melon seeds and peanuts all over the yard.

People in the yard also congratulated Lin Geng and Yu Li. After get off work, Sha Zhu and Zhao Erya heard that Yu Li was pregnant, so they quickly brought a few eggs to congratulate them. Zhao Erya took Yu Li to the inner room and began to tell Yu Li about her experience when she was pregnant.

Sha Zhu patted Lin Geng's shoulder and laughed, saying that Lin Geng did a good job by making Yu Li pregnant so quickly. He was worried about Lin Geng and Yu Li before, thinking that they had been married for almost a year and had not conceived a child. He was afraid that they might have some problems. Now that Yu Li was pregnant, he was relieved.

This made Lin Gengyi's forehead black line, and he said to Sha Zhu with disgust: "Brother Zhu, what are you thinking? I didn't want to have a child so early before, thinking that I could relax for a while. As long as I want a child, I can have one anywhere. Don't talk nonsense!"

"Yeah, I'm overthinking it. I'm doing this for your own good! What's wrong with having a baby early? Look at my little treasure. I can't get enough of him. It's so lively at home with a child! Hehe!"

At this time, Xu Damao also came back from get off work. After hearing about Yu Li's pregnancy, he was full of envy. He brought Qin Jingru to congratulate Lin Geng and Yu Li.

In the evening, Sha Zhu wanted to invite Lin Geng and Xu Damao to celebrate with Lin Geng and his wife, but Lin Geng declined, saying that Yu Li had just become pregnant and could not stand the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, and needed quiet time. It would not be too late to celebrate after Yu Li's morning sickness was over.

At night, Lin Geng added the prepared medicinal herbs to the spiritual spring water taken from the small world and boiled it into a bowl and waited for Xu Damao. After most of the people in Xu Damao's yard had rested, he sneaked into the Lin family like a thief, drank the medicine in one breath, wiped his mouth, said thank you, and then quietly slipped back home.

The people in the yard also smelled the scent of the Lin family's medicine. Someone asked Lin what he was doing decocting the medicine. In order to keep it a secret from Xu Damao, Lin said that Yu Li had severe morning sickness, and this was the medicine prescribed by the old Chinese doctor to protect the fetus and relieve morning sickness.

Therefore, the people in the yard did not suspect Xu Damao, which made Xu Damao very grateful to Lin Geng. Whenever he met Lin Geng in private, he would thank him.

The next day, Lin took Yu Li to Yu's home again and told her parents the news of her pregnancy. After hearing the news, Yu Li's parents were very happy. Yu's mother even wanted to leave Yu's father and go to Lin's home to help take care of Yu Li.

Lin Geng and Yu Li hurriedly stopped Yu's mother, saying that Yu Li had just become pregnant and it was still a long time before she gave birth. It would not be too late for her to go over and help take care of her when she was older and had difficulty moving. It was too early now. Lin Geng also promised that he would take good care of Yu Li and would definitely not let Yu Li suffer.

Yu Li also pulled her parents aside and said that Lin Geng was really good to her and that he would get her whatever she wanted to eat, even oranges, so her parents could rest assured.

After hearing Yu Li say that Lin Geng was so good to her, and seeing her rosy and healthy complexion, Yu Li's mother knew that he was not lying, so she gave up. Otherwise, Yu's father would have had a hard time this year, haha.

However, after Yu Haitang heard that Yu Li was pregnant, she seemed a little unhappy and spoke in a sour tone. However, Yu Li and Lin Geng were too lazy to pay attention to her, which made Yu Haitang very bored. She could only hide back in her room awkwardly and not show up.
