Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Back to the He family, after Sha Zhu was helped home by He Yushui, he lay on the bed with lifeless eyes. He just lay there blankly, staring at the dark ceiling, like a living dead.

He Yushui sat aside, looking at his silly brother who looked weak and half dead, and he was very angry.

"Silly brother! What on earth are you doing? Aunt Yu from the Lin family used to be so kind to us. After our father ran away, we sometimes had no food to eat. Aunt Yu felt sorry for us and would give us some steamed buns from time to time!

Sometimes when you were not at home and I had no food to eat, Aunt Yu and Brother Xiaolin would let me go to their house for dinner. When I was a child, you didn’t know how to tie my hair, and it was Aunt Yu who helped me bathe, comb my hair and tie my hair from time to time!

She also altered clothes that were too small for Lin Geng so that I could wear them! When you were an apprentice and picking up scraps, she helped you take care of me!

Look at what you did? You kicked the door of Lin's house for Jia Dongxu's wife. Little Lin was sick, but you didn't care. You even threatened him and forced him to lend money to Qin Huairu!

Have you given up your conscience? I feel so ashamed for you. If Aunt Yu knew about this, would she be so angry that she would call you an ungrateful person? "

Sha Zhu was lying on the bed, listening to He Yushui's complaints. His brain finally started to work. As he listened, a trace of guilt finally appeared on his face. The memories in his mind began to revive little by little, and he gradually recalled how good Lin's mother had been to them.

After their father He Daqing ran off with a widow, he left behind the sixteen-year-old boy and his six-year-old sister without leaving him any money and simply ignored them.

At that time, he had not yet joined the factory. He only had a little money left by his father for him and his sister, and he had to support him and his sister. Those days were really hard!

However, few people in the yard helped him collect the rainwater. Even the uncle Yi Zhonghai didn't care how much rainwater he collected. For half a year, he had to carry the rainwater and pick up scraps outside to exchange for money to buy food.

During that period, only Lin's mother would occasionally feel sorry for them and would bring back some of the steamed buns and cornmeal or sweet potato steamed bread that they had saved from their frugality to help them. Occasionally, aunt would come back secretly to give them a few steamed breads.

He didn't know how to take care of Yu Shui, and she was often dirty and covered with lice and fleas, like a beggar. Lin's mother couldn't bear to see this, so she washed Yu Shui's hair and gave her a bath, gave her flea medicine, combed and tied her hair, and even altered Lin's clothes that were too small for her and gave them to Yu Shui.

It can be said that the person who treated them best in this courtyard was not Yi Zhonghai, but Lin's mother. He was still very grateful to the Lin family in his heart.

But a few years ago, after he was promoted from an apprentice to a regular chef in the factory, Yi Zhonghai started to treat him better. Gradually, he became more distant from the Lin family and became closer to Yi Zhonghai.

This time, the reason why he kicked open Lin Geng's door and threatened Lin Geng to lend money to Qin Huairu was because he was hot-headed. He heard Sister Qin crying to him that she asked Lin Geng to borrow some money, but Lin Geng not only refused to lend her money, but also spoke rudely and scolded her. So he got hot-headed and wanted to vent Sister Qin's anger, so he did that thing.

The reason why he wanted to beat Lin Geng a week ago was because Lin Geng was disrespectful to Yi Zhonghai, and he wanted to help Yi Zhonghai teach Lin Geng a lesson.

But he never expected that Lin Geng, that little coward, was actually a hidden master. He had been deceived by his honest performance all these years. His temperament suddenly changed a week ago. He also didn't expect that Lin Geng's legs were so powerful. With just one kick, he kicked him back a long distance. Not only was his stomach almost dislocated, but his knees were almost broken when he hit the ground.

Although he struggled to get up and fought with Lin Geng twice, he was kicked away by Lin Geng without exception, and was finally kicked unconscious.

He had been beaten up quite a lot in the cell this week and had suffered a lot. He only hated Lin Geng and his mind was full of thoughts about how to get back at Lin Geng and beat him up for revenge. However, he never thought about why Lin Geng kicked him.

When he came back today, he wanted to save face with Xu Damao, but he was so hungry that his hands and feet were weak, and he was also beaten all over in the cell. He was not careful and not only failed to beat Xu Damao up, but was instead killed by Xu Damao's grandson, who rode on him and beat him up.

He would lie on the bed with a dead heart, his mind like a mess, and a feeling of having no desire to live and doubting about life.

After listening to his sister He Yushui's crying and complaints, his brain finally started to work, and his memories were replayed in his mind like a movie along with He Yushui's complaints. The once dusty memories were also awakened by He Yushui again, and the things that Lin's mother had done to them were also recalled bit by bit by him.

Then Sha Zhu's face gradually showed guilt, realizing that he seemed to be an ungrateful person. Aunt Yu had taken good care of him and his siblings in the past, but now Aunt Yu had just passed away. Instead of helping and taking care of Lin Geng, he bullied Lin Geng for others.

To say that Sha Zhu is a bad guy is absolutely unreasonable. If Sha Zhu was a bad guy, it would be impossible for him to secretly take care of Director Yang when Director Yang lost his power in the original drama. This shows that Sha Zhu is a person who knows how to be grateful.

When the three old men in charge of the courtyard had no one to take care of them in their later years, he was willing to take on the burden of providing for these old folks, but instead devoted himself to running the courtyard nursing home, which shows that he has a kind heart.

So it doesn't make sense to say that Shazhu is a bad guy, but he is actually a bad guy. Due to various reasons, his brain is not working very well, he is very stubborn, has a bad temper and is easily impulsive. He is a typical fool. He is unwilling to use his brain when encountering problems, likes to hit people at every turn, and solves problems with his fists.

But he is definitely not an ungrateful person, there is no doubt about that.

When he was almost revived and recalled how Lin's mother had taken care of him and his siblings, Sha Zhu finally regretted it. He turned sideways on the bed in pain and hugged his head.

He Yushui didn't care why her brother was holding his head at the moment, and continued to complain about Sha Zhu, recalling bit by bit the good things the Lin family had done for them over the years.

He Yushui's voice was like a magic sound filling Sha Zhu's brain, constantly pouring into his ears, forcing him to reactivate many memories that he had forgotten or sealed away, forcing him to recall those things according to He Yushui's memory.

Sha Zhu finally couldn't listen any more and groaned, "Alright, alright, Yu Shui, stop talking! I know I was wrong! It was really my fault this time! I shouldn't have bullied that kid Lin Geng! I'm ungrateful, I'm sorry to Aunt Yu, I'm really an ungrateful person! I deserve to be beaten!"

But didn’t I already pay him fifty dollars? And he almost kicked me to death, so this should be my retribution, right?”

He Yushui saw that her silly brother actually admitted his mistake. This was really rare! Usually, she knew her silly brother's temper. He was tougher than a duck and would not lose the battle even if he made a mistake. Even if he made a mistake, he would never admit it. Even if he was forced to admit it, he would be reluctant.

But today, his silly brother, after all her crying and chanting complaints, actually admitted for the first time that he was wrong. It was really a bit like the sun rising from the west. It was really rare!

But He Yushui was still not satisfied, because even if Sha Ge admitted his mistake, he still felt a little unconvinced by what he said afterwards. He felt that even if he was wrong, he had already compensated Lin Geng fifty yuan and was almost kicked to death by Lin Geng, which could be considered as making up for his mistake.

So He Yushui wiped the tears from her face, rolled her eyes at Sha Zhu, snorted coldly and said, "What's the matter? You think it's too much to pay Brother Xiaolin fifty yuan? If Brother Xiaolin hadn't done it for my sake, do you think he would have asked you to pay only fifty yuan and then write you a letter of apology?

Why don’t you ask him and the uncle... Oh no, he is not the uncle now, he should be called Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong, and how much compensation the Jia family asked for?

And if he hadn't kicked you that day, wouldn't you have beaten him to death? What injustice have you suffered?"
