Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

The next day, after Lin Geng got up, he pulled Xu Damao up. After they washed up, they went to Sha Zhu's house for breakfast. Sha Zhu drank a little too much last night and woke up very late in the morning. However, He Yushui got up very early this morning. He first got up and cooked a big pot of cornmeal porridge, and then scalded the few pancakes that were not eaten last night in the pot.

When Lin Geng dragged Xu Damao, who was still drunk, to He's house, Sha Zhu was also dizzy and had just walked out the door to wash up. He laughed when he saw Lin Geng and Xu Damao, especially when he saw that Xu Damao still looked confused, obviously not fully drunk yet, so he laughed even more happily.

"Hey, Damao, you're still drunk, aren't you? How about it? Do you think you can defeat your uncle Zhu in a drinking contest?" As soon as Sha Zhu saw Xu Damao, he couldn't help but want to laugh at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was not angry either. He still remembered what happened before he got drunk last night. Until now, he and Sha Zhu had reconciled. They were still childhood friends, so he would not bother with Sha Zhu anymore.

And I heard from Lin Geng this morning that he was indeed drunk to the point of falling down last night, with his head slamming on the table, and then he slipped under the table, hugging the table legs and laughing, drooling a lot. He knew he had embarrassed himself, and he really couldn't drink more than Sha Zhu, let alone Lin Geng.

So Xu Damao was not angry, he smiled and said: "Yeah, Master Zhu, I am convinced this time, but not completely. You are not much better than me. If you drink two more glasses, Brother Xiaolin has said that you will definitely fall down!

Actually, we both can drink about the same amount, so don't laugh at each other!

I'm still a little dizzy right now, so I won't make breakfast. Can I come to your place for breakfast?"

He Yushui was chewing a piece of pancake with some pork head in it, and ran out with his schoolbag on his back and said, "Brother Xiaolin, Brother Damao, I knew you wouldn't be able to get up this morning. I've made the porridge and heated up the pancakes! I'll ask my brother to make some dishes for you guys to eat. There's enough for you! I have to go to school quickly!"

After saying that, He Yushui jumped up and down and ran to school happily.

Lin Geng grabbed He Yushui's braid, called her to stop, took out a handful of candy and stuffed it into He Yushui's pocket, and said with a smile: "Save it for the road! Let's go!"

He Yushui pouted and complained to Lin Geng for pulling her braids again, but considering that Lin Geng gave her candy, she didn't bother with him. She ate the candy, then ran out of the courtyard happily.

Sha Zhu looked at him and smirked. Lin Geng waved his hand and said, "Come on, why are you smirking? Wash your face quickly and go to the kitchen to mix some cold dishes. Cabbage hearts or shredded radish will do. You drank a lot last night and your stomach is burning. Eat something refreshing in the morning!"

Sha Zhu then quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, then happily ran to the kitchen to get busy. After a while, he had mixed the cabbage hearts. Lin Geng took out three green-skinned salted duck eggs from his pocket like a magician, and the three of them began to eat.

After finishing his meal, Xu Damao rushed out to work. Sha Zhu's injuries had not healed yet, and he still walked with a limp. His nose and face were swollen and he looked like a pig. He was embarrassed to go to work, so he asked Xu Damao to help him take two more days off. Xu Damao agreed and ran away.

Lin Geng arranged for Master Li and the others to continue cleaning the house. He left the ingredients needed for lunch with Aunt Liu and strolled out. Sha Zhu called Lin Geng and said that lunch was his responsibility. He had nothing to do at home for the next two days as he was recuperating from his injuries, so he would be responsible for cooking for the masters.

Aunt Liu seemed a little embarrassed, so Lin Geng smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, thank you for coming! But Aunt Liu will help you! As we said before, it's still the same!"

Aunt Liu felt a little embarrassed and kept thanking Lin Geng. These days, Lin Geng cleaned the house and asked her to help with cooking. Her two boys also ate with them. They had at least one meal of fish every day, and they could eat steamed buns made of two grains of flour as much as they wanted. Their complexion was obviously much better these days.

Aunt Liu was very grateful to Lin Geng for taking care of them. At least, it allowed her two grandsons to have a few full meals. If Sha Zhu took over cooking, she was really afraid that he would not let her do it. Then she would be embarrassed to let her two grandsons come over for dinner, and they would go hungry again.

Now Lin Geng asked her to continue as usual and just help Sha Zhu. This made Aunt Liu feel embarrassed and she wanted to say something, but Lin Geng just waved his hand and left with a smile.

The performance of Sha Zhu and Lin Geng early on made Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu from the Intermediate Court very uncomfortable.

Now the relationship between their two families and Lin Geng has completely broken down, to the point where they are irreconcilable. They don't want to see Sha Zhu and Lin Geng reconcile and become friends again.

But now it seems that after yesterday's day and the big drink last night, Lin Geng and Sha Zhu have obviously completely reconciled. Now they are talking and laughing, and even Xu Damao has joined them.

This made Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu very unhappy, but they could do nothing about it.

Seeing that Lin Geng had gone out, Yi Zhonghai asked Aunt Yi to call Sha Zhu over and said that he had something to say to him.

Aunt Yi sighed and went to the He family to call Sha Zhu, but unexpectedly, Sha Zhu's attitude towards Aunt Yi became obviously cold, and he told Aunt Yi coldly:

"Auntie, I won't go over. Now I understand how Uncle treated me in the past! Let's have less dealings in the future. I will remember your kindness to me! If you have any problems, I will still help you, but I don't want to listen to Uncle's nonsense anymore. Please go back and tell Uncle that if you don't want Xiaolin to cause trouble for him, then don't fool me anymore in the future! Otherwise, I am stupid, but Xiaolin and Damao are not stupid! That's it! Please go back!"

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Aunt Yi was very embarrassed, because she knew very well that her husband had really been making a fool of Sha Zhu in the past, and some things had indeed gone too far. Now all his schemes had been seen through and exposed by Lin Geng. No matter how stupid Sha Zhu was, he had realized through this incident that Old Yi had no good intentions towards him.

Now Sha Zhu doesn't want to pay attention to Lao Yi anymore, and it's no wonder that Sha Zhu does that. No one would be happy if they knew that they were being played like a fool. The fact that he didn't get angry with her on the spot was actually giving her face.

So Aunt Yi could only say awkwardly: "Zhu Zi, it is true that Old Yi did some excessive things in the past, but I was still good to you, and I never thought of cheating you!

It's all my fault. I wasn't able to give birth to a child for Lao Yi. Lao Yi has been worrying about his retirement all these years, and he has been having some thoughts that he shouldn't have!

I don't ask you to forgive him, but I hope you don't blame him too much. After all, Lao Yi has been pretty good to you over the years and has always protected you! Don't bother with him!"

Sha Zhu had a cold face and a slightly complicated expression. He nodded and said, "Well, I understand! I don't want to talk about the past anymore. I'd better ask you to stay away from me in the future! I don't want to be treated like a fool anymore! That's it, please go back!"

Seeing that Sha Zhu really didn't want to have anything to do with Yi Zhonghai anymore, Aunt Yi had no choice but to leave the He family and went home to tell Yi Zhonghai what Sha Zhu had said.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face turned livid again. He slapped the table hard and said angrily, "This idiot! How could he listen to that little... ahem! That kid's nonsense? Can't he see how I treated him over the years?

If I hadn't protected him, he would have been arrested by the police and fired from the factory! Now that guy just said a few bad things about me, he forgot all the good things I did for him! He is also an ungrateful bastard!"

Originally, Yi Zhonghai wanted to call Lin Geng a little beast, but suddenly he remembered that he had gritted his teeth and said at home yesterday that he wanted to kill Lin Geng, but Lin Geng heard it clearly outside the door. He was so scared that he stopped talking and dared not call Lin Geng a little beast anymore. After he finished speaking, he quickly stood up and looked outside, fearing that Lin Geng might come back at some point and stand outside the door to eavesdrop on his conversation. Yi Zhonghai was traumatized by this.
