Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Seeing Lin Geng stand up and offer him a seat, Yan Bugui finally turned his gaze from the dishes on the table to Lin Geng, forced a smile on his face, and said to Lin Geng:

"Xiao Lin! I'm here to apologize to you! You see, I really didn't know what Lao Yi did! I didn't ask you when I organized the banquet, so I was wrong. Today I brought a bottle of wine with me, and we three can have a drink together. I hope you don't mind the mistake of the third uncle!"

After hearing this, Lin Geng smiled and thought to himself, "Do you know it, Old Yan? How can I not guess it?" With your intelligence, you must have guessed it, but you are just pretending to be confused! You just want to have a good meal to satisfy your appetite.

However, he knew it all but didn't say it out loud. Since he had decided to make friends with Yan Bugui, Lin Geng didn't plan to dwell on it. As long as Yan Bugui didn't always try to plot against him in the future, it wouldn't hurt to let him take advantage of him. Soon his little world would start to produce a lot, and there would be no cost to him at all. Even if Yan Bugui took advantage of him, he wouldn't suffer much loss, so he didn't care about the previous banquet.

"Look at what you said. Ignorance is not a crime! It was that old bastard Yi Zhonghai who did all the bad things. What does it have to do with you? You don't have to be so polite. Let's have a good drink today. Brother Damao is so generous today. I appreciate it. I will arrange a meal for you two in a few days!" Lin Geng waved his hand and said generously.

When Xu Damao heard this, he thought that Lin Geng was doing him a favor and giving him enough face, so he was very happy. He didn't care that Yan Bugui came uninvited. He waved to Yan Bugui to sit down, turned around and got a pair of chopsticks, a spoon and a wine cup for Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui also laughed immediately, and his heart was at ease. He saw Lin Gengxin showing his might today, sweeping through the courtyard and almost knocking down Yi Zhonghai and his gang. He also sent Liu Haizhong and his son to the police station, which really scared him.

He also knew that he was wrong in hosting the banquet after Lin Geng's mother passed away. It was not that he really didn't guess Yi Zhonghai's intentions, but he agreed to it just for the sake of a good meal and pretended to be stupid and used the money given by Yi Zhonghai to host the banquet. He was very worried about this, fearing that Lin Geng would settle the score with him sooner or later.

So today, after Yi Zhonghai and the others were taken away, Yan Bugui had been feeling uneasy and disturbed, so much so that when a group of aunties knelt in front of Lin Geng's door to beg for mercy, he did not dare to step forward to say a word for them to mediate. Instead, he hid at home and kept thinking about how to get Lin Geng to let him go.

Through what happened today, he saw clearly that Lin Geng was definitely not someone who was easy to deal with. His previous cowardice might have been just an act. Once he was pushed to the limit, his true nature was exposed. If he didn't explode, it would be fine. But once he did, his anger was something that not everyone could bear.

Therefore, it can be said that Lin Geng deceived everyone in the courtyard. Even Yi Zhonghai, who always prided himself on being smart, fell this time, and fell completely. The image he had built up in Siheyuan for so many years was completely overturned, and even the forces he had gathered in Siheyuan for so long were wiped out.

As for Liu Haizhong, he was a brainless idiot. Lin Geng was just trying to catch rabbits by stalking grass and took care of both the father and son.

From today on, Yan Bugui realized that things in this courtyard were about to change completely. Regardless of whether Lin Geng would forgive Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's gang in the future, this courtyard would no longer be Yi Zhonghai's world as before.

What was the reason why Yi Zhonghai could call the shots in Siheyuan over the years? It was because he had the deaf old lady behind him to support him, and he had Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu, two of the most powerful fighters, under him, and Jia Zhang, the unreasonable shrew, who fought for him. He gained fame by playing the role of peacemaker.

Over the years, Liu Haizhong had thought about overthrowing Yi Zhonghai and replacing him to become the boss of the courtyard house. However, facing Yi Zhonghai's brain, he was no match for him and was completely controlled by Yi Zhonghai.

But when Lin Geng stood up, he wiped out all of Yi Zhonghai's forces in one fell swoop today. Not only did he completely expose Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical face, he also completely tore apart the disguise of the tall image of the deaf old lady that they had created, causing the deaf old lady's personality to collapse.

The two thugs he relied on, Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu, were completely crushed by Lin Geng's force. They were beaten to the ground and had no strength to fight back.

As for Jia Zhang, there is no need to say anything. Lin Geng dealt with her with just a kick and a slap in the face. Moreover, even if Lin Geng forgave Jia Zhang, Jia Zhang would not be able to get out in a short time.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai saw the battle with Lin Geng early this morning as a complete loss, with his entire army annihilated and completely beaten to pieces by Lin Geng. Even if Lin Geng could show mercy and let them go this time, their reputation would be completely ruined, and it would not be easy for them to stand up again and regain control of this courtyard.

Yan Bugui saw it clearly. If he wanted to continue to take advantage of the situation in this courtyard and did not make friends with Lin Geng, then Lin Geng would probably slap him to death with one slap.

Therefore, when Yan Bugui saw Xu Damao excitedly running to buy chicken and fish today, he pulled Xu Damao aside to ask, only to find out that Xu Damao was going to treat Lin Geng to a drink at noon today. So he shamelessly brought a bottle of Sanbai and came over to eat for free, hoping to use Xu Damao's meal to improve his relationship with Lin Geng and get closer to him.

Yan Bugui is ultimately a calculating and stingy old man. He wants to improve his relationship with Lin Geng and get closer to him, but he is still reluctant to spend his own money to invite Lin Geng to his house for a drink. He is always calculating.

Yan Bugui, with a big smile on his face, repeatedly praised Xu Damao for being magnanimous, and thanked Lin Geng for his magnanimity. He sat down excitedly, but did not dare to be arrogant and sit in the host seat. Instead, he sat on the side and lowered his posture.

After Yan Bugui sat down, he wanted to open the bottle of Sanbai he brought with him, but was stopped by Lin Geng and Xu Damao. Xu Damao mocked him, "Uncle, don't drink your wine today! Drink mine, the real Fenjiu! You should keep your Sanbai, which has been diluted with who knows how much water, for yourself!"

Lin Geng immediately started laughing too. Over the years, everyone in the courtyard knew that in order to save money, Yan Bugui would basically dilute all the wine he brought out with water, making it taste bland. Instead of drinking his wine, it would be more comfortable to drink water!

Yan Bugui's face suddenly turned red, and he smiled awkwardly and explained: "How could that be? Damao, you can't say such nonsense! The bottle of wine I brought today was not diluted with water! If you don't believe me, try it, it really wasn't diluted with water!"

Lin Geng also laughed at this time. It seemed that Yan Bugui, the stingy old man, had brought some sincerity today. However, it was not much! He probably gritted his teeth before buying this bottle of pure white liquor without adding water.

The loose liquor on the market now is brewed and distilled from some not-so-good grains, and has not been aged in cellars. It tastes very spicy and tastes almost like alcohol. It is really not tasty, but it is the helpless choice of ordinary wine lovers in this era because it is really cheap.

"Forget it! No matter whether your bottle of Sanbai is diluted with water or not, the three of us are all drinking my Fenjiu today! You should keep this bottle of Sanbai for yourself and drink it slowly later!" Xu Damao has always been a man who cares about his reputation. He has never been willing to drink this kind of Sanbai, thinking it is a loss of face. He picked up the bottle of Fenjiu and filled a glass for Yan Bugui.

So then the three of them began to clink glasses and eat and drink at Xu Damao's house. Of course, at the beginning, Yan Bugui and even Lin Geng were still focusing on eating. Not to mention that Yan Bugui was craving for meat, Lin Geng was also craving for it. Moreover, when he woke up early in the morning, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu kicked the door open. He didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, and he was really hungry after being so busy until now.

So the three of them had a big meal first. Yan Bugui's chopsticks were sweating from exhaustion. Even when he was full and burping, he was still trying hard to stuff a piece of chicken into his mouth, for fear that he would eat less than Xu Damao and Lin and suffer a loss.
