Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

As soon as Yu Shui heard Lin Geng's voice, she ran out and opened the door. When she saw Lin Geng, she burst into tears again and threw herself into Lin Geng's arms without caring about anything else, crying, "Wow... Brother Lin, the police have arrested my brother! Please go and save my brother! It's all my fault. My brother got into trouble just to help me! Don't blame my brother this time! Please help my brother!"

Lin Geng frowned and opened his arms but did not dare to hug He Yushui. After all, He Yushui was already fifteen or sixteen years old, and could be considered a grown-up girl. Even though she was a little thin and her figure was as thin as a chopping board, she was still a grown-up girl after all.

He coughed dryly and said softly: "Yushui, don't cry, let go first! You are a grown-up girl now, don't be like this! Tell me slowly if you have anything to say, I will help you!"

Yu Shui also realized that it was inappropriate for her to hug Lin Geng like this, so she quickly wiped her tears and choked up as she let go of his hand. After taking two steps back, she choked up and said to Lin Geng a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Lin, I was too anxious just now!"

At this time, Lin Geng saw Li Xiangyun also walked out of Sha Zhu's house. Her face was not very good. After seeing Lin Geng, she said embarrassedly: "Xiao Lin, you are finally back! Today's incident was caused by the piece of meat you gave to Sha Zhu! You can't blame Yu Shui, and you can't blame Sha Zhu! If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Qin Huairu and Lao Yi! You have to help Yu Shui and Sha Zhu!"

Lin Geng followed them into the house, and Yan Bugui also followed them. Several people went into the house and sat down. Lin Geng asked them to tell him in detail what happened today.

So He Yushui and Li Xiangyun told Lin Geng again what happened after he left today. The process was roughly the same as what Yan Bugui said.

In fact, the cause of the incident was that after Sha Zhu started cutting meat and refining oil, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of oil, which made countless children cry. After Bang Geng smelled it, he immediately rushed to Sha Zhu's house, blocked the kitchen and asked for the oil residue to eat, and also asked Sha Zhu to give him meat.

Today, Sha Zhu received instructions from Lin Geng not to give the Jia family any oil residue, lard or meat, so he refused to give them any oil residue.

Banggeng started cursing Shazhu, saying he was a big fool and why he was not given oil residue to eat. He spoke a lot of foul language. As a result, He Yushui came out to drive Banggeng away. Banggeng then imitated Jia Zhangshi and cursed He Yushui for being a money-loser and said she was not worthy of eating meat and the oil residue should be given to his family.

He Yushui was so angry at Banggeng that she started crying. Shazhu was also annoyed. He came out and slapped Banggeng on the head, causing him to fall down. Then he ran back crying to Qin Huairu to complain.

Qin Huairu then took a big bowl and brought Banggeng to Shazhu's house again. She cried to Shazhu and complained to him how he could treat her and her children like this. Now that Jia Dongxu was dead, it was really not easy for her, a woman, to raise three children. She begged Shazhu to give her some meat and oil residue, saying that their family had not seen meat for many days. Banggeng and Xiaodang were really greedy.

He Yushui was very angry and blocked the door to prevent Sha Zhu from giving the meat and oil residue to Qin Huairu, saying that these were Brother Xiaolin's things and her silly brother had no right to give them away.

Qin Huairu was blocking the door and crying and begging for misery, while Banggeng was staring at Yu Shui and Sha Zhu with hatred. Sha Zhu looked embarrassed and at a loss, and Yu Shui was determined not to let Sha Zhu give Qin Huairu the oil residue and meat.

At this time Yi Zhonghai showed up and loudly scolded Sha Zhu for changing, becoming not as kind as before and having no sympathy anymore. He also scolded He Yushui and made her cry.

In anger, He Yushui retorted to Yi Zhonghai a few times, saying that Yi Zhonghai was the real hypocrite. He was so rich, why didn't he use his money to help Qin Huairu and buy them meat? Why should she let her silly brother give the meat and oil residue to Qin Huairu?

When Yi Zhonghai heard that He Yushui dared to call him a hypocrite, he immediately flew into a rage. He waved his hand and shouted that he would teach He Yushui a lesson on behalf of He Daqing.

Sha Zhu was still a little conflicted at first, but when he saw that Yi Zhonghai actually wanted to hit the rain water, he gave up and rushed out of the kitchen and kicked Yi Zhonghai to the ground. Yi Zhonghai was unlucky enough. When he fell down, his head hit the pool in the yard, leaving a big cut on his head. He bled a lot and fainted on the spot.

Qin Huairu had to shout for a long time before she woke Yi Zhonghai up. Yi Zhonghai saw that Sha Zhu had attacked him again, and that he had a big cut on his head and was bleeding so much, so he ran out to report to the police.

The police came and took Sha Zhu away without doing any further investigation. They said that Sha Zhu should give money to Yi Zhonghai for medical treatment first and they would discuss the details tomorrow.

Li Xiangyun also told Lin Geng that after Sha Zhu was taken away, Yu Shui followed him to the police station to plead for Sha Zhu. Qin Huairu and Bang Geng wanted to break into Sha Zhu's kitchen again and wanted to take away the meat, oil residue and refined lard, but Li Xiangyun stopped them and prevented them from taking the meat and lard away.

Qin Huairu also said that Shazhu beat Banggeng, and the meat, greasy residue and oil should be compensated to them. Li Xiangyun said that the meat belonged to Lin Geng and they were not allowed to take it away. Banggeng also scolded Li Xiangyun, making her so angry that she almost had a heart attack. However, Banggeng still rushed into the kitchen, snatched a handful of greasy residue and ran away.

After hearing this, Lin Geng's face suddenly darkened. He turned around and walked towards Jia's house without saying a word. He kicked open the door and shouted, "Qin Huairu, I gave you face, didn't I? You actually brought Bang Geng to Zhuzi's house to steal my things. If you don't compensate me today, I will break Bang Geng's legs! If you don't believe me, try it!"

Qin Huairu was so frightened when Lin Geng entered the yard that she quickly called back Banggeng and Xiaodang and closed the door. She was confident that she could control Shazhu, but she knew that she could not control Lin Geng. Lin Geng was too smart and could see through her mind. Her tea art was useless in front of Lin Geng.

Today she actually knew very well who the meat belonged to. If Lin Geng was at home, she would definitely not dare to let Bang Geng go to Sha Zhu's house to ask for meat. But it happened that Lin Geng was picked up by someone today, so she started to have evil thoughts again and set her sights on Sha Zhu again.

In the past two days after burying Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai has been telling Qin Huairu to find a way to control Sha Zhu and let Sha Zhu support them and their son. Sha Zhu is a cook and can bring back leftovers from the canteen every day. As long as she can still control Sha Zhu, then life for him and his son will be much better in the future.

With Sha Zhu's lunch box, they and their son will be able to eat better in the future, and at the same time they can save money on buying vegetables and grain. Naturally, their life will be much better than without Sha Zhu's help.

Qin Huairu then became more active and felt that what Yi Zhonghai said made sense. Even if she took over Jia Dongxu's job and went to work in the steel rolling mill, her salary would be very low at the beginning. It would definitely not be enough to support her and her three children, and her life would definitely be very tight.

If she could still control Sha Zhu, and make him treat her the same way as before, bring lunch boxes to their home, and lend her some money from time to time, then what else would she have to worry about?

So today, when she saw Lin Geng bring a large piece of fatty meat to Sha Zhu, she immediately had evil thoughts. After Sha Zhu started to boil lard and the whole yard was filled with the rich aroma of lard, Bang Geng started to make a fuss, clamoring to eat the lard residue and the meat.

Qin Huairu first hypocritically advised Banggeng a few words, and then hinted to Banggeng to go to Shazhu to ask for oil residue and meat. She would use Banggeng to scout the way first and see what Shazhu's attitude was.

After all, she had already hit a wall when she went to Sha Zhu to ask for fish a few days ago. She was scolded by Sha Zhu, and this also pissed off Jia Dongxu, who rushed out to beat Sha Zhu. In the end, Jia Dongxu was beaten up by Sha Zhu, and finally kicked Yi Zhonghai away. After Lin Geng came back, she took the opportunity to help Sha Zhu and forcibly asked for back the two hundred yuan that he had "lent" to her. Her relationship with Sha Zhu became strained that day.

It had only been a few days, and if she went to Shazhu to "borrow" meat again, even if she was not thick-skinned, she would still feel a little embarrassed. So she pushed Banggeng out and let him explore the way first and see how the situation would go.
