Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

In fact, Lin Geng was also very clear that, under normal circumstances, the authorities would not give any serious treatment to Liu Haizhong's reporting behavior. The worst that could happen was a criticism, education and warning. Otherwise, who would dare to report illegal and criminal acts in the future?

Although the authorities don't like people reporting people going to the Pigeon Market to buy things, in this era, who doesn't go to the Pigeon Market to buy some supplies? Even the staff of the street office and even the police station sometimes have to go to the Pigeon Market to buy some urgently needed supplies out of helplessness, so they hate people reporting others going to the Pigeon Market to buy things.

However, they cannot prohibit reporting of such matters. If they really receive a report, they will still go through the motions to investigate. After verification, they will usually give the person criticism and education, and confiscate the supplies purchased from Pigeon City.

So Lin Geng also knew that the street office and the police couldn't do anything to Liu Haizhong. They were just trying to scare the old guy.

Now Liu Haizhong himself bid up to one hundred yuan. In fact, he thought it was enough. He said fifty was not a good price just now, but he was just putting on airs and trying to scare Liu Haizhong. He didn't expect that this old guy was so cowardly and immediately doubled the amount of compensation.

Hearing Director Wang plead for Liu Haizhong, Lin Geng nodded and said, "Well, since Director Wang has pleaded for Liu Haizhong, I must give you this face! I can't let you lose face no matter what! One hundred is one hundred, let's just forget about it!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you, thank you Director Wang for pleading for me, and thank you Xiaolin! I'll go get the money right away!"

After saying that, he turned and ran towards the door, but after he ran out, his steps staggered and he felt very dizzy. This was because he had kowtowed just now. His head was almost broken and yellow. He definitely had a mild concussion, so it would be strange if he didn't feel dizzy.

But he was anxious to settle the matter, fearing that Lin Geng would go back on his word, so he endured the dizziness and stumbled towards the backyard. However, his head was too dizzy to run in a straight line, and he ran out crookedly and fell flat on his face.

The people who were still watching the excitement in the yard were watching with great interest. Not long after Lin Geng brought Director Wang and the others in, they heard Liu Haizhong howling and begging for mercy in the house. If they used their toes to guess, the onlookers could guess that Liu Haizhong was in trouble again.

It seems that the tickets that Lin Geng used to sell bicycles must have come from a legal source and were not obtained through speculation. Liu Haizhong's report this time has dug his own grave again. So everyone secretly laughed at Liu Haizhong, saying that he was such an idiot. He dared to report Lin Geng based on mere speculation. Isn't he seriously ill?

Now, this time he didn't screw Lin Geng, but screwed himself. Could Liu Haizhong be any more stupid? Everyone put away their jealousy towards Lin Geng and started waiting to see Liu Haizhong's joke.

Liu Haizhong's popularity in the courtyard is really not that good. His desire to become an official is as obvious to everyone as Sima Zhao. However, he is just a manager of the courtyard, but he acts like a big shot every day. He stands with his hands behind his back, sticks out his big belly, and acts like an official, and speaks to the residents in the courtyard in an official tone every day.

But this guy has a low level of education and is not very smart. He often makes jokes and is suppressed by Yi Zhonghai. He also wants to compete with Yi Zhonghai for the position of the boss every day. As a result, he is often played like a monkey by Yi Zhonghai and is often cheated by him.

For example, when Yi Zhonghai organized a donation to the Jia family, Liu Haizhong, in order to show that he was no worse than Yi Zhonghai and for the sake of face, always competed with Yi Zhonghai in donating money to the Jia family. As a result, he took out a lot of money, which put the residents in the yard in a difficult position, forcing them to not donate, or to donate too little. Therefore, the residents in the yard did not have a good impression of Liu Haizhong.

Now that Liu Haizhong is in trouble, no one feels sorry for him and everyone is waiting to see him make a fool of himself. All they hear is Liu Haizhong crying and begging for mercy in Sha Zhu's house. Later, they hear a dong dong sound and some people guess that it might be Liu Haizhong kowtowing and begging for mercy.

When Liu Haizhong rushed out of the house like a dog, everyone looked at him. Wow! Liu Haizhong's forehead was red and swollen, with blue in the red, purple in the blue, and bleeding. It hurt just looking at it!

Everyone secretly grinned, wondering how much strength Liu Haizhong had to use to kowtow to get his forehead knocked into this state.

When Liu Haizhong ran towards the backyard, he was staggering and running from side to side. It was obvious that he was dizzy. Sure enough, he didn't run far before he staggered out sideways and fell to the ground with a thud.

Just at this moment, Liu Haizhong's wife and Liu Guangqi also came out of the house, hiding at the gate from the middle courtyard to the back yard, secretly observing the situation in the middle courtyard, waiting to see what would happen to Lin Geng.

But then they found something was wrong. Why didn't Lin Geng seem to be panicked at all? They asked Director Wang to go into the house and talk. After a while, they heard Liu Haizhong crying and begging in the house. The mother and son's faces suddenly changed. They knew that they must have guessed wrong this time. Lin Geng's bicycle ticket must have come from a legal source. Liu Haizhong was going to be unlucky again.

Sure enough, not long after, Liu Haizhong was seen running out of Sha Zhu's house in a panic with a bruised face and nose, staggering towards the backyard, but before he reached the backyard he ran out sideways and fell flat on his face.

So the mother and son no longer cared about saving their face, and hurriedly rushed out of the back door, ran towards Liu Haizhong, and asked Liu Haizhong in panic what happened.

Liu Haizhong covered his forehead and groaned, "Go home, go home first!"

So the mother and son carried Liu Haizhong and fled back to the backyard of their Liu family.

After a while, Liu Haizhong's wife was heard crying loudly in the house. She cried as if her father had died. She shouted how could Lin Geng be so cruel as to extort another hundred yuan from them. Was he going to let their family survive?

At this time, everyone followed to the backyard to eavesdrop on the Liu family's movements. When they heard what was happening, their faces changed again. They thought to themselves that Lin Geng was really cruel. He had extorted another hundred yuan from Liu Haizhong's family!

It had only been two days, and Liu Haizhong's family had to pay Lin Geng another 150 yuan. Wasn't it too easy for Lin Geng to get this money? So they immediately began to envy and hate Lin Geng again.

However, no matter how envious and jealous they were, they had no other choice but to watch Lin Geng get rich. Who told them that they didn't have Lin Geng's identity and ability? They could only watch Liu Haizhong's joke.

After Liu Haizhong returned home, he covered his forehead which was bruised, swollen and bleeding, his eyes spitting fire as he waited for Liu Guangqi to scold him: "What kind of evil idea did you give me, you bastard? Now look what happened, you almost got your father killed! Not only did you fail to send that little... ahem... Lin Geng to jail, you almost sent me to jail instead!

We didn’t get any benefits this time, but we have to pay Lin Geng another 100 yuan. Our family has been almost ripped off by him and we don’t even have money for food!"

When Liu Haizhong's wife heard that she had to pay Lin Geng another 100 yuan, she was so distressed! She burst into tears on the spot, and today she started crying again, crying as if her father had died. It was really bleak, and anyone who heard it was sad and wept.
