Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

You know what, as a teacher, he had practiced his voice to be very loud because he competed with the little kids every day in school. Normally, Yan Bugui spoke in a low voice, but when he really showed off his voice, it was like thunder in the central courtyard, and immediately the residents who were still whispering to each other fell silent.

Then, nearly a hundred residents of the courtyard, young and old, immediately began to applaud vigorously. Among them, Xu Damao, a fellow who was eager to see the world in chaos, clapped the loudest, almost clapping his hands until they were swollen, and an expression of gloating that could not be concealed was written on his face.

Lin, on the other hand, seemed very indifferent. He clapped politely and his expression was very calm. He just glanced at the guys in front of him indifferently.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and his son, and Jia Dongxu all raised their heads slightly and stared at Lin Geng with eyes that were either resentful, sinister, or angry. Only Sha Zhu lowered his head, made eye contact with Lin Geng with a guilty look, and then quickly lowered his head again.

Lin Geng could see what was going on in their hearts from their eyes, so he smiled slightly, and immediately made Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong so angry that they almost fainted, because they all thought that Lin Geng was provoking and mocking them, but Director Wang was here at the moment, so they didn't dare to say a word and could only feel furious in their hearts.

Director Wang saw that everyone had quieted down, raised his hand to stop the applause, cleared his throat with a serious expression, and began to speak.

Director Wang bluntly characterized what happened a week ago as an extremely bad thing, and angrily scolded Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, accusing them of betraying the trust of the street office in them. He appointed them as the managers of this courtyard house in the hope that they would cooperate with the street office, manage the courtyard house well, mediate neighborhood conflicts, prevent enemy spies, and maintain social stability.

However, the leaders of their street office could never have imagined that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had done so many immoral things in this courtyard over the years. They also concealed the truth from the managers of the street office by covering up the truth, and acted recklessly in the courtyard under the pretext of the power granted to them by the street office.

Therefore, the Subdistrict Office feels deeply guilty for not discovering these problems earlier, which led to them abusing their power in the Siheyuan for such a long time, causing such a bad incident that seriously damaged the interests of the masses and infringed on the interests of the martyrs' families. Here, Director Wang, on behalf of the Subdistrict Office, apologizes to Lin Geng and the residents of the Siheyuan.

At the same time, Director Wang also asked the residents of the courtyard houses not to help cover up similar incidents in the future. If there are any problems, they can report them to the street office, which will definitely handle them in a timely manner.

In addition, Director Wang also criticized Yan Bugui again. Although Yan Bugui did not participate in bullying Lin Geng in this incident, he helped them conceal the incident and failed to report the situation to the street office in time, which was also a wrong behavior.

However, considering that Yan Bugui's responsibility was relatively light and that the Siheyuan still needed a manager to be in charge of communication with the street office, Yan Bugui's job as Siheyuan manager was temporarily retained. However, he was asked to take this as a warning and handle Siheyuan's affairs fairly and impartially in the future, and never allow similar bad behavior to occur again.

Finally, Director Wang ordered Yi Zhonghai and others to make a sincere apology to Lin Geng and accept the lesson this time. They should take it as a warning and reflect on themselves seriously in the future. If they refuse to repent and commit the same mistake again, the Street Office will never tolerate them next time and will definitely give them the most severe punishment.

When Director Wang asked Yi Zhonghai and others to apologize to Lin Geng in person, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's faces turned red, and Jia Dongxu's face also turned red. Their eyes revealed extremely angry emotions. They gritted their teeth and hesitated to speak.

But after hearing Director Wang's request, Sha Zhu took a deep breath and took a step forward. He walked in front of Lin Geng, showing a guilty look on his face, bowed deeply to Lin Geng, and said with red eyes: "Brother Lin Geng, I, He Yuzhu, know that I was wrong this time. I am sorry for you and Aunt Yu's care for me and Yu Shui. I am simply not a human being! I really deserve to die!"

After he finished speaking, he slapped himself twice in the face like a man, and then said to Lin Geng: "Brother Lin Geng, I, He Yuzhu, know I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me this time. I promise that I will never do it again. If I do it again, let the street office leaders deal with it as they please. I won't say anything even if they take me to a shooting range!"

Lin Geng felt it was really hard for Sha Zhu, such a face-conscious guy, to slap himself in front of so many people and say these words. If he hadn't really regretted it and had prepared himself mentally in advance, with his reckless temper, he would never have said these words or done such a thing as slapping himself in public. It seemed that he had really thought it through.

So Lin Geng quickly stood up, took a step forward, smiled, stretched out his hand and said to Sha Zhu: "Come on, Brother Zhu, with what you said today, let's forget about the past between us. Let's not mention it anymore. From now on, we will be the same as always, and we will still be good neighbors and good brothers! From now on, our two families will just get along well!"

Seeing that Lin Geng no longer had any intention of hating him, Sha Zhu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly reached out and shook the hand that Lin Geng handed over. He finally smiled innocently and scratched his head, saying, "Okay, I feel relieved when you say that! If you need me for anything in the future, just tell me, brother. I dare not say that I will do it for you even if I have to go through fire and water, but as long as I can do it, I will do my best to do it for you!"

Lin Geng also laughed and nodded, "Okay! I'll make a note of it! It's a deal between us two brothers!"

Director Wang was relieved to see Sha Zhu so sincerely stand up and apologize to Lin Geng first, as if he really realized his mistake and didn't pretend. She also knew Sha Zhu's temper and felt that Sha Zhu was not a bad person, just a little silly. He must have been taken advantage of this time and did such a stupid thing.

And she also knew that after their father abandoned Sha Zhu and his sister and ran off with a white widow many years ago, Sha Zhu had worked hard to raise his six-year-old sister. It was really difficult for him to raise his sister to her current age. It was not easy to say. If he was a real bastard, how could he have done this?

Therefore, Director Wang also felt very sympathetic towards Sha Zhu and He Yushui, and she also paid attention to their affairs from time to time. She was also very angry about what Sha Zhu did this time, and she also felt very sympathetic towards He Yushui. She was worried that if Lin Geng would not let Sha Zhu go, and if the police insisted on dealing with him, He Yushui was so young and still in school, what would happen in the future?

But later she heard that Lin Geng was the first to issue a letter of apology to Sha Zhu, and would forgive him as long as Sha Zhu paid 50 yuan, which made Director Wang feel relieved.

Now it seems that Sha Zhu must have realized his mistake and regretted it. Otherwise, based on her understanding of Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu's bad temper would never make him admit his mistake so readily. This made Director Wang quite relieved.

Director Wang nodded and said, "That's right. Zhuzi, you can truly realize your mistake, regret it, and make such a sincere apology. We are very pleased. Xiaolin is right. The past is the past. From now on, you two should be neighbors. You two should be good brothers. You must not make a fool of yourself again! All right, go down and sit down!"

Xu Damao was originally quite amused when he saw Sha Zhu slapping himself, but as he watched he felt something was not right. He was a little dumbfounded to see Sha Zhu actually apologizing to someone so sincerely for the first time in his life. Then Lin Geng easily let this guy off, accepted his apology, and even said that they should get along well with each other in the future. So what should he do?

If Sha Zhu and Lin Geng restored their relationship, would they still protect him? What if Sha Zhu caused trouble for him again and wanted to beat him up, and Lin Geng didn't help him? He couldn't beat Sha Zhu, the fool. Would he have to go back to the way he was before, living in fear of being dominated by Sha Zhu's fists every day?

Xu Damao was stunned.
