Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Everyone in this courtyard knew that Yi Zhonghai and his wife had not had any children for all these years. Now they were in their forties and their hopes of having children were becoming increasingly slim. It seemed impossible for them to have any more children and they were definitely a family without a son or daughter.

This is also the pain in Yi Zhonghai's heart, and it has always been a heartache for him. But today, Lin Geng called him an old loser to his face. This is definitely a poke in Yi Zhonghai's lungs!

The same thing happened to the deaf old lady at this moment. Although Lin Geng did not scold her for being a childless woman, she was indeed a childless woman. At such an old age, she had no children, not even any relatives. She was definitely a childless woman.

Moreover, under Yi Zhonghai's deliberate efforts, she was usually treated as the ancestor of the courtyard and had an exclusive status in the courtyard. Anyone who saw her would politely call her old lady. But today, Lin Geng directly called her an old deaf woman, which did not give her any face at all.

But this is not important. The most important thing is that Lin Geng tore open the little thoughts of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady in one fell swoop, exposed their dirty calculations to the public on the spot, and completely overturned the image they had built up over a long period of time. This is what made them afraid.

It is said that the third uncle Yan Bugui is the reincarnation of an abacus expert and is best at calculating. However, in Lin Geng's opinion, the one who is most skilled in calculation in this courtyard is the old silver coin Yi Zhonghai. Every move he makes is to calculate people's hearts, every move he makes is to establish a persona for himself, and calculate the benefits he can get in the distant future.

At best, Yan Bugui was just calculating how to spend less money to feed his big family, and he was calculating the onions and garlic buds from his neighbors, but he did not plan to take advantage of others. At best, he just had the mentality of a petty bourgeois who liked to take advantage of small things.

Lin Geng's remarks today have completely exposed to the public Yi Zhonghai's scheme to team up with the deaf old lady for so many years. All the residents in the compound had to eat together, but Yi Zhonghai got all the benefits. It was also revealed that the deaf old lady was greedy and took advantage of everyone in the compound.

After hearing what Lin Geng said, both Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady were shocked and angry, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

The residents who had been fooled by Yi Zhonghai and were pointing fingers at Lin Geng, accusing him of being disrespectful to the elderly and beating them up, felt as if a thunderclap had exploded above their heads, making their heads buzz, after hearing what Lin Geng said.

The brain that had been unused before started to work. Following the ideas given by Lin Geng, I immediately understood everything. Isn't this really the case?

Over the years, Yi Zhonghai has been talking about respecting the elderly every day. He has praised the old lady as the ancestor of the entire hospital and asked everyone in the hospital to respect the deaf old lady. Whenever someone cooks something delicious, they would first think of sending some to the deaf old lady to try. Isn't this asking everyone in the hospital to help Yi Zhonghai support the deaf old lady?

But what will happen in the end? When the deaf old lady dies one day? Who will her house be left to? And who will the money she has saved be left to? Even if you use your toes, you can guess that it will definitely be left to Yi Zhonghai!

This is just as Lin Geng said, Yi Zhonghai morally blackmailed all the residents in the hospital, forcing them to support the deaf old lady, but in the end he reaped all the benefits. It turned out that all the residents in the hospital suffered the loss, while Yi Zhonghai himself got all the benefits.

Once personal interests were involved, those residents who had originally listened to Yi Zhonghai's nonsense and stood on the same front with him turned against each other on the spot. They immediately began to discuss among themselves, and expressed their agreement with Lin Geng's statement. They then immediately glared at Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, and began to question whether Yi Zhonghai thought so.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage and wished he could strangle Lin Geng to death. He never thought that after careful planning and years of subtle layout and brainwashing, he finally achieved his goal in the yard. He made the deaf old lady into the Taishan Beidou ancestor of their courtyard and kidnapped everyone in the courtyard to help him support this deaf old lady.

He thought he had done this matter perfectly and no one could see through his calculations.

However, he didn't expect that even a teacher like Yan Bugui who was good at calculating and prudent could not see through it, but was seen through by this young boy Lin Geng, and today, in front of everyone in the school, he exposed his calculations on the spot, which was equivalent to destroying all his efforts and plans over the years.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale and he panicked. He shouted at Lin Geng: "Shut up, you little bastard! It's not what you think! Why would I think so? Don't listen to the nonsense of this little bastard!

Listen to me, guys..."

"Yi Zhonghai! You old bastard! If you dare to call me a little beast again, do you believe that I will kick you to death right now?" Without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to argue to the neighbors in the yard, Lin Geng shouted at him harshly.

When Yi Zhonghai heard Lin Geng's angry curses at him, he was choked on the spot and almost couldn't breathe. He wanted to curse back at Lin Geng, but he immediately thought of the kick in the stomach just now, and the scene of Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu being kicked far away by Lin Geng. He immediately swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to curse Lin Geng again.

"Okay, okay, I won't scold you anymore, and you can't scold me anymore! Everyone, listen to me! This matter is not at all what Lin Geng said!

The reason why I call the deaf old lady "ancestor" is because she made contributions to our army. Her children are all martyrs. She also made shoes for the Red Army and supported our Red Army!

Now the old lady is the only one left. How can we, the neighbors, turn a blind eye to her? As a member of the courtyard, shouldn't we respect the old lady? The old lady has made such a great contribution to the country. Shouldn't we occasionally give her some delicious food to show our filial piety?

Over the years, after becoming a big shot, I, Yi Zhonghai, have done so many good things for the courtyard and helped so many people. Can't you see it? I have always been upright and fair! How could I do such a thing?

Everyone must not believe Lin Geng's nonsense, he just wants to ruin my reputation and muddy the waters so that everyone will support him!"

"Tsk! Yi Zhonghai, you are still fooling the neighbors in the yard! Do you think that everyone can't see your dirty thoughts?

You are aboveboard, you are fair and just! Pah! Do you believe it when you say it?

Think about it, everyone. When has Yi Zhonghai ever been fair and just over the years? If I remember correctly, Yi Zhonghai has organized donations five or six times in our courtyard in the past two years, right?

So think about it, who did these six donations go to? Were they all to the Jia family?

He kept saying that the Jia family was in trouble and asked everyone to help them! But is this really the case?

It is true that Jia Dongxu is the only one in the Jia family who works to earn money. He has to support Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu and two children. On the surface, his income is indeed not high!

But think about it, everyone, are there fewer people in this courtyard who are in more difficult situations than his Jia family? Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the third uncle, Mr. Yan!

Teacher Yan is the only one working in Uncle San's family. She earns only 30 yuan a month, but she has to support four children and Aunt San's family of six! Moreover, the children in Teacher Yan's family are all teenagers. They eat so much that they kill me!

What about the Jia family? Jia Dongxu has been working for many years, right? He is now a second-level worker, and he earns 35 yuan a month, right? According to the regulations of our city, a family with an average income of less than 5 yuan is considered a poor family!

But the Jia family can only support five people with thirty-five yuan, which is one less person than the third uncle's family. Banggeng and Xiaodang are still children and cannot eat too much. If you take the average, I'm afraid the third uncle is in a worse situation than the Jia family, right?

There is also Old Wang in the front yard. His children are all gone, and he doesn’t have a formal job, but he has to rely on odd jobs to support his three grandchildren. His monthly income is not stable, and at best he can only earn twenty yuan!

Aunt Liu in the backyard, her husband is gone, and she is raising two children. Aunt Liu is not in good health and has no formal job. She only makes some money by pasting matchboxes and making shoes to support her family of three. Her monthly income is probably less than ten yuan, right?

Is their family in trouble? Compared to the Jia family, their families are in more trouble!"
