Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Lin Geng nodded and said, "Chief, don't worry, I will do my best! Don't worry! Who else can I give the prey I get from hunting to if not the factory? Besides, the factory doesn't want the meat for free, they still have to pay me! If I can earn more money to support my wife, why don't I do more while I'm still young? Don't you think so?"

After hearing this, Old Wu's expression relaxed, but he still stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and looked around. After seeing that there was no one outside the office, he closed the door again and walked to Lin Geng and sat down, whispering to Lin Geng:

“In fact, everyone in this industry knows that the purchase price given by the factory is a bit low. If we sell some things in the pigeon market, we can definitely make more money!

But I also want to remind you that although you can make more money in the pigeon market, you'd better be more careful. If someone finds out and reports you, it will be no small matter!

Although the factory's purchase price is lower, it is much safer. Even if you make a lot of money, some people will be jealous and can't do anything to you! You have to think this through!"

Lin Geng nodded repeatedly after listening to this. He could tell that Old Wu was reminding him that he was afraid that because he could hunt and easily get meat, he would have other ideas. The purchase price given by the steel mill was a little higher than the market price, but it was lower than the price in the pigeon market and the black market.

Anyone who is not stupid would know that it is more cost-effective to sell the meat to the factory or to the pigeon market. So he was afraid that Lin Geng would not be able to resist the temptation to make more money and that something might happen to him, so he specifically reminded him not to make mistakes.

Lin Geng was still grateful for this. He would be grateful from the bottom of his heart to anyone who showed kindness to him. This Old Wu was really a good person and didn't want to harm him. Based on this point, he couldn't let this boss down.

So he nodded and said, "Thank you, Chief. I know the consequences! I can't do that! I still want to work hard and marry a beautiful wife! How can I let someone catch me and put me in jail? Don't worry! I won't do anything stupid!"

"Well, it's good that you know the pros and cons! Are you exhausted? Take a breath and go to the finance department to get the money. After getting the money, go back and have a good rest. After you have rested, go to the countryside. Don't waste this skill. Make more money while you are young and marry a beautiful wife! Haha! Go quickly!" Old Wu saw that Lin Geng listened to the advice and admired the boy very much, so he patted Lin Geng's shoulder with satisfaction and said to him.

Lin Geng took the delivery list, stood up, and like a magician, pulled out a fat wild rabbit from behind him, with its four legs tied. He threw it to Old Wu with a grin and said, "Thank you, Chief! This is my gift to you! Take it back to satisfy your sister-in-law and the children! I caught this in the mountains too! You can't go wrong!"

Old Wu hurriedly caught the fat rabbit. He couldn't remember where Lin Geng had hidden the rabbit when he came in, or maybe he hadn't noticed it at all. However, looking at the fat rabbit that was still struggling, he smiled with relief, shook his head, pointed at Lin Geng and scolded, "You little bastard...! Haha! I won't be polite then!"

Any relationship is actually a relationship of interest. If you want others to treat you well without paying anything, that is a dream! Lin Geng knows this truth very well. Now he makes a living under Old Wu. Although Old Wu is a good person and treats him well, he cannot always enjoy others' care with peace of mind. He still has to pay what he should pay. In this regard, Lin Geng is not stingy at all.

After going to the Finance Department and handing over the receipt list to the Finance Department cashier, Lin Geng successfully received more than 300 yuan. This included more than 300 kilograms of wild boar meat alone. The purchase price given by the factory was 80 cents per kilogram, so Lin Geng made a profit of 260 yuan for free. The rest were mountain products purchased from Zhaojia Village, and he made a profit of a few yuan from the difference.

Add to that the 34 yuan he earned from delivering more than 80 kilograms of fish to the factory on Monday, and Lin Geng earned 300 yuan in just a few days. This kind of income is definitely considered extremely high in this era.

You have to know that even a cadre of the level of Director Yang of the steel rolling mill would make less than 200 yuan a month in total, if he did not have any gray income.

Yi Zhonghai's eighth-level worker, who was the pride of Lao Deng, used to earn only 99 yuan a month, and all the miscellaneous subsidies added up to just over 100 yuan. He was already the highest-paid person in their courtyard.

But compared with the 300 yuan Lin Geng earned in just a few days, Yi Zhonghai's income was really not enough. With the hunting skill, Lin Geng suddenly felt that his future was bright. If he continued in this way, by the time the reform and opening up came, he would definitely be able to accumulate considerable capital. At that time, with this capital, even if he was a pig, he would be able to soar into the sky if he stood at the cusp of the wind and become one of the first people to become rich in the future of Longguo.

Since he couldn't be a rich second generation in his previous life, he decided to be the father of a rich second generation in this life! Even if his children don't live up to expectations and become a playboy, he can let his children live a carefree life for a few more years.

After leaving the steel mill with the money in his pocket, Lin thought for a while and decided to go see Lao Liu and Aunt Zhang. Although he didn't want to have any close friendship with Lao Liu before, fearing that he would be implicated in the future, after visiting Lao Liu's house, he felt that Lao Liu's wife, Aunt Zhang, really treated him like her own child.

Lin Geng has always been sincere in repaying others as long as they treat him sincerely. The old couple Liu and their children are not around, and their eldest son died heroically on the battlefield fighting for the country. He is really lonely now. If the old couple treats him like this, then if he stays away from them for fear of being implicated, is he still a human being?

Even if Lao Liu was affected by the storm, he no longer cared about being implicated.

So he pedaled the tricycle towards the military compound where the old Liu couple lived. When he was almost there, seeing that there was no one around, Lin Gengyi waved his hand to put away the bow and arrow in the bed. Then a large piece of fresh wild boar meat, a live pheasant and a live rabbit appeared in the bed. He rode the tricycle towards the gate.

Armed soldiers at the door stopped Lin Geng. Lin Geng took out his work ID and told them that he was there to visit Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang. After checking Lin Geng's work ID, the soldier asked him to wait for a while. After returning to the guard post and making a phone call, he came out and told Lin Geng that he could go in.

Lin Geng rode his tricycle into the compound and headed towards Old Liu's house. Before he reached the door, he saw Aunt Zhang had already walked out of the compound, looking at him with a motherly smile on her face.

Lin Geng hurriedly rode over and got off his tricycle, then greeted her, "Aunt Zhang! I'm here to see you and Uncle Liu!"

Aunt Zhang looked at Lin Geng with a smile. Seeing how dusty he looked, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes. She said with a bit of complaint: "Why are you so dusty, kid? Where did you come from? Go in and wash your face! Look at you covered in dust!"

Lin Geng smiled as he pushed the tricycle into the yard, lifted the tarpaulin covering the inside of the tricycle and said, "I just went to the countryside and got some game when I came back. I wanted to bring it to you and Uncle Liu to try!"

When Aunt Zhang saw such a large piece of fresh wild boar meat weighing ten kilograms, as well as a fat pheasant flapping its wings and a fat rabbit struggling, she was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed an unhappy look on her face and complained:

"You kid, you're here, why did you bring us these things? These things should be worth a lot of money. You're alone now, why don't you keep them for yourself? Instead, you send them to us! We don't lack food, you can take them back later!

Look at how dirty you are. You must have walked a lot, right? Have you had lunch? Auntie will ask someone to make you some! Go wash your face and drink some water first!

You came at a bad time this time. Your uncle Liu went to a meeting today and I don’t know if he can come back in the evening. I am the only one left at home now!"

As she spoke, Aunt Zhang found a piece of cloth and brushed the dust off Lin Geng's body, with a look of heartache on her face again.
