Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Liu Haizhong was so frightened that he could hardly speak clearly. He quickly struggled to get up, waved his hands and said to Aunt Liu in panic, "Liu Liu...Aunt Liu, things are not like what Xiaolin said! I really didn't force him!

You want to... want to listen to my excuses... Oh no, listen to my explanation!

I, I did talk to Xiaolin and asked him to give his workstation to my second son, but I really didn’t force him… I was thinking… thinking about his poor health, I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to go to work, so I wanted to help him and give him some money so that he could use it for medical treatment…

I didn’t let my sons beat him…”

"Bah! Liu Haizhong, you're talking nonsense! I saw with my own eyes that day your three sons broke into Lin Geng's house and beat Lin Geng. I also heard your three sons forcing Lin Geng to transfer his work position to your son's Liu Guangtian! Your sons even said that if Lin Geng didn't transfer his work position to Liu Guangtian, they would beat Lin Geng every day and make it impossible for him to survive in the yard!" Before Liu Haizhong could finish his explanation, Xu Damao jumped out and loudly proved that Liu Haizhong was lying.

The biggest wish in life for the fat guy Liu Haizhong was to become an official, but he never managed to get any official position. Later, he just became the second uncle who was the manager of a courtyard house, which was more or less related to being an official. So Liu Haizhong often acted like a leader in the courtyard, shouting at the neighbors in the courtyard to show off his status as the leader of the courtyard.

Is Xu Damao a mean person? He is definitely a mean person! When he went to the countryside to show movies, he would inevitably bring back some local specialties and mountain products given to him by the township or village. Sometimes, Xu Damao simply obtained them through extortion.

Xu Damao was a man who liked to show off. He would often come back from the countryside in a very ostentatious manner, parading around the yard with all kinds of local specialties, looking like a smug man, showing off in all kinds of ways.

But Xu Damao looked down on Liu Haizhong. Although he and Liu Haizhong both lived in the backyard and were close neighbors, Xu Damao never gave Liu Haizhong some of the mountain products he brought back from the countryside. Liu Haizhong felt very embarrassed and thought Xu Damao was too disrespectful to him, the leader of the courtyard.

So Liu Haizhong would often find fault with Xu Damao and criticize him in a pretentious manner, but Xu Damao ignored Liu Haizhong and often scolded him, so the relationship between the two was not very good. The eldest brother of the Liu family, Liu Guangqi, even fought with Xu Damao. Although Xu Damao was a rookie and had never beaten Sha Zhu, he was not much inferior to Liu Guangqi. But the Liu family had three brothers.

After Liu Guangqi and Xu Damao started fighting, Liu Haizhong stood aside and did not try to stop them. He even signaled Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to go and help. As a result, the three Liu brothers beat Xu Damao together. Xu Damao was naturally no match for them. He was beaten so badly that he had a bruised nose and a swollen face. He had to lie in bed at home for a whole week. As a result, he became enemies with Liu Haizhong.

Originally, Xu Damao was a person who was afraid of chaos in the world. He liked to interfere in everything and make sarcastic remarks no matter whether it involved him or not. Therefore, he was not a person that people liked. But today, he finally got the chance to stab Liu Haizhong in the back. How could he miss such an opportunity?

So Xu Damao jumped out immediately to testify for Lin Geng and prove that Liu Haizhong was lying without waiting for Liu Haizhong to finish his defense.

With Xu Damao taking the lead, some residents in the yard also began to testify, proving that they also saw Liu Haizhong's three sons break into the Lin family and beat up Lin Geng.

Liu Haizhong was now completely proven guilty and could no longer argue. Even his three sons were trembling with fear like quails.

Since the matter had been proven to be true, Deputy Director Li was no longer polite to Liu Haizhong and his son. With a wave of his hand, he ordered them to be handcuffed and taken away.

But the police officers who came with them were a little embarrassed, because they didn't expect to arrest so many people in the yard today, and they didn't bring many pairs of handcuffs with them, and now they had run out of handcuffs.

Deputy Director Li was speechless. He had not expected that he would catch so many beasts when he came to this courtyard to deal with a neighborhood dispute. Even the handcuffs he brought were not enough.

So he could only temporarily ask his men to find some ropes in the yard, tie up Liu Haizhong and his son's arms behind their backs, like death row prisoners being sent to the execution ground for shooting, and dragged Liu Haizhong and his son out of the courtyard.

Aunt Liu also had a gloomy face. She comforted Lin Geng for a while, then angrily took the people from the street office back to the street office. She wanted to quickly inform Director Wang of the street office who was resting at home on the weekend about this matter. She should first criticize herself and try to have a good attitude to avoid being seriously implicated and accused of poor work performance and serious negligence.

As the police dragged away the group of beasts in the yard, the sounds of ghosts howling and begging for mercy gradually faded away. The people from the street office also left the courtyard with gloomy faces. The residents in the yard looked at each other and sighed, what was going on?

The old man, the deaf old lady, and Liu Haizhong, who were originally thought to be good people, turned out to be doing such wicked and evil things. They were all taken away by the police today. If it weren't for the incident caused by Lin Geng today, who would have thought that these people were so wicked and beastly. They had been deceived by Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady, and Liu Haizhong all these years.

Think about this kid Lin Geng again, he is really pitiful. Now he has no parents and is bullied by the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and Liu Haizhong's family. Many people really feel sympathy for him.

Therefore, some residents in the yard had already made up their minds not to provoke Lin Geng in the future. Firstly, they really couldn't afford to provoke him. Lin Geng was the descendant of a real martyr. If they provoked him, once the government knew about it, they would definitely be punished.

Aren't the first uncle, the second uncle and his son, Sha Zhu, and the Jia family mother and son all arrested by the police? No one wants to follow in their footsteps, so it's better not to provoke Lin Geng again.

Secondly, through today's events, they also discovered that Lin Geng's temperament had changed drastically since he lost his mother and suffered a serious illness. He had changed from being introverted and timid to being arrogant and domineering, and his fighting power was also overwhelming. Even Sha Zhu, who used to be known as the God of War in the courtyard, could not get any advantage from him.

Well, if these people still want to provoke Lin Geng, they must be prepared to be beaten, and beaten badly.

So everyone dispersed, and whispered in private, discussing enthusiastically the big event that happened in the yard today. They all felt that from now on, this courtyard might be in for a change.

As for Lin Geng, he looked at everyone in the yard, raised his chin, revealed a smug smirk, then turned back home and began to pack up the things that the street office staff had helped him bring back from the Jia family.

Xu Damao followed Lin Geng to take a look at the situation of the Lin family, and said with a sigh: "This Jia Zhang is really cruel. She emptied your house! Damn it! Fortunately, you finally stood up today and dealt with these bastards! I, Xu Damao, have to compensate you, brother!

How about it, brother, do you need me to help you clean up?"

Lin Geng took a look at these messy things. Originally, he was a little disgusted with these things used by the Jia family and planned to throw them away. But then he thought, he was not well off now. If he threw so many things away, he would have to spend a lot of money to buy them again. Moreover, to buy these things again in this era, it was not enough to have money, but also a lot of tickets, such as industrial tickets, cloth tickets and other tickets. He didn't have any of them, so they would be useless if he threw them away.

Moreover, these things were, after all, things his mother had used when she was alive. They were also some memories. If they were thrown away, there would not be many things his mother would leave for him in the future. So after thinking about it, he decided to keep these things for the time being, wash them well, use them as is, and then gradually replace them later.

Hearing Xu Damao coming over and trying to get close to him so enthusiastically, Lin Geng also knew Xu Damao's little thoughts. He wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with him, but he didn't care about it.
