Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

However, being angry was Yi Zhonghai's own business. The neighbors in the yard were all happy. They didn't expect that eating such a big melon tonight was not enough. Lin Geng actually forced Yi Zhonghai to set up a banquet and invite the neighbors in the yard to the feast.

All the neighbors were delighted by this and they all echoed and said that Lin Geng was right. Yi Zhonghai had delayed everyone for so long and he should really set up a few tables for everyone to show his appreciation.

Especially Yan Bugui, his mouth was crooked with laughter, he felt so relieved! For so many years, he had been suppressed by Yi Zhonghai. He was the third uncle in the yard, but Yi Zhonghai looked down on him and treated him as a transparent person or a tool to cooperate with him, Yi Zhonghai, to deceive the residents in the yard.

Now Yi Zhonghai has finally received his retribution. Not only was he fired from his job, he also had to pay Lin Geng a large amount of money. Now he is being divorced by Lin Geng, and most of his house and savings have been taken away by his ex-spouse Li Xiangyun. All his efforts for most of his life have gone to waste in an instant.

Now Yi Zhonghai has been treated like this by Lin Geng, but Lin Geng still doesn't let him go. He even forces him to set up a few tables and treat the residents in the yard to a meal. Isn't this too satisfying?

This time Yi Zhonghai had lost both his wife and his army. He had to swallow his blood and lose his teeth. He was really suffering in silence.

The best thing is that he can have a good meal openly again. Just thinking about it makes him drool.

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Okay! I'll pay fifty yuan and set up a few tables in the yard to apologize to the neighbors in the yard for disturbing everyone's rest!"

So Lin Geng stretched out his hand and said, "Okay! Take the money! Let the current uncle, Mr. Yan, take care of the shopping, and Brother Zhuzi will be responsible for cooking! Let's arrange it for the weekend after tomorrow!"

Yi Zhonghai felt his pocket but didn't take out any money. Only then did he remember that all the money in the family was still in the hands of his former aunt Yi. He only had seven or eight yuan in change in his pocket and couldn't take out fifty yuan at all.

So Yi Zhonghai said with a dark face and gritted teeth: "I don't have any money now. I will go to the street office tomorrow to complete the formalities. After Li Xiangyun returns the money to me, I will give the money to Lao Yan! I keep my word and will never break it!"

Lin Geng smiled contemptuously, glanced at Li Xiangyun who had a complicated expression beside him, then nodded and said to everyone: "Okay! I believe Comrade Lao Yi should still have this credibility. Although he is not a good person and is a bit immoral, this matter cannot be ignored!

So how should we address you? Now that you and Yi Zhonghai are getting divorced, we can no longer call you Aunt Yi or Aunt Yi. From now on, can we just call you Aunt Li?"

Lin Geng asked Li Xiangyun.

Li Xiangyun looked at Lin Geng with a complicated expression, tears welled up in her eyes, and suddenly her knees softened and she knelt down in front of Lin Geng, saying, "Xiao Lin, I followed Yi Zhonghai in the past and did a lot of wrong things. I am really sorry for you!

There were some things I didn't want to do, but who made me feel sorry for Yi Zhonghai at that time, so I just listened to him! I helped him do a lot of wrong things!

This time you let bygones be bygones, saved my life, and helped me divorce Yi Zhonghai. I don’t know how to thank you, so I’ll just kowtow to you!”

As she spoke, Li Xiangyun was about to kowtow to Lin Geng, but Lin Geng was startled. He hurriedly rushed forward to support her, exclaiming: "What's the big deal? Aunt Li, I can't accept your gift. After all, you are of the same generation as my mother and the others. If I accept your gift, it will shorten my life!"

Okay, I know what you mean! To be frank, now that I've heard it, I can't just watch you get hurt by Yi. No matter what, you've been implicated by him! I also believe that it's not your original intention!

So with what you said, the past is over, and we can still be good neighbors in the future! Good thing! If you have anything to say, just tell me!

You don't have to thank me. I helped you purely because I didn't want to make life easier for that old guy Yi Zhonghai. Who made him hurt me so much in the past? I am a person who holds grudges. I will remember who hurt me forever, but I also remember favors. I will also remember who has been good to me and helped me forever!

You see, it's getting late now, and you definitely won't be staying with Yi Zhonghai tonight. Otherwise, why don't you stay in my next-door room for the night, and we will help you clean up your next-door room tomorrow?"

Lin Geng's words made Li Xiangyun so grateful that she burst into tears. She stood up with the help of Lin Geng's arm. She patted Lin Geng's arm, her lips trembling and she couldn't speak. Her face was full of guilt. After a long while, she said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Xiaolin! You are such a good child. Aunt Li was sorry to you in the past. Let's get along well in the future. If you need Aunt Li's help with anything, just tell her!"

You saved my life, I don't know how to thank you, so I'll just bow to you!"

Having said this, he bent down and bowed deeply to Lin Geng regardless of Lin Geng's dissuasion.

At this time, Sha Zhu saw that Lin Geng didn't bother with Li Xiangyun anymore, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking back over the years, ever since his father He Daqing ran away, Li Xiangyun had secretly helped him and Yu Shui many times, and had secretly given the brother and sister steamed corn bread or two-grain steamed buns many times.

In addition, although she was not very good to Yu Shui, she was still very good to him, He Yu Zhu. Now she and Yi Zhonghai were going to divorce, and they would be two different families in the future. So Sha Zhu said to Li Xiangyun: "Okay, I will call you Aunt Li from now on. Since Brother Linzi doesn't care about the past, I have nothing to say!

I will always remember how good you were to me! If you have any problems in the future, just tell me. I am not an ungrateful person and will definitely help you!

It’s getting late, I’ll help you go to the woods to spend the night, if you need any bedding or anything, I’ll get it for you!”

Li Xiangyun looked at Sha Zhu, and tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded repeatedly, patted Sha Zhu's arm, and was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Lin Geng smiled and said, "Don't get too excited. You have a weak heart. Don't get excited or you'll get sick! Come on, come on, go to my place first and have a good sleep. Tomorrow I'll accompany you to the street office to go through the divorce procedures with Yi Zhonghai! From now on, you can rest assured that with me and Brother Zhuzi around, no one in the courtyard will be able to bully you! Haha!"

As he said this, he called Xu Damao and the second and third sons of the Liu family who had come over to watch the fun, and helped Li Xiangyun get some clean bedding. Then he escorted Li Xiangyun to the Lin family and placed her in the empty room next to Lin Geng's.

Anyway, Lin Geng was cleaning the house this time, and this room was also cleaned up. Some furniture was placed in the room, including a bed, a table, a cabinet and so on. It could be lived in as long as the bedding was spread out. It would be no problem for Li Xiangyun to stay there for one night.

Li Xiangyun was really moved. She held Lin Geng and Sha Zhu's hands and refused to let go. She couldn't stop crying and kept whispering, "Good children, all of you are good children! Thank you..."

Yi Zhonghai slumped down on the bed with a deathly pale face, watching Lin Geng and the others help Li Xiangyun out and take away the clean pillows and bedding from the cupboard. He almost collapsed, as if he had aged a dozen years in an instant, and all his energy seemed to have been drained away.

When the people in the courtyard saw that Lin Geng and his companions had settled Li Xiangyun and there was nothing more to watch, they dispersed and went home. On the way home, they were still discussing what happened tonight.

Many people despised Yi Zhonghai even more, and cursed him for being a good-for-nothing who even cheated his own wife and almost strangled her to death after living with him for so many years. He was so evil that he had sores on his head and pus on his feet. No wonder Lin Geng said that he was an old sinister person. This guy used to look righteous, but it was all fake. He did so many wicked things behind the scenes. It would be better to have less dealings with Yi Zhonghai in the future, so as to avoid being cheated by him at any time.
