Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby
Chapter 46: Repaying a favor with a favor
"Okay! Now that you mention it, I think this young man is really generous! He can be regarded as a real man in our old city! I admire this young man! Compared with our group of people, he makes me feel a little embarrassed! Let's go, let's go fishing, don't surround us!
What a nice guy! It's a pity that my family didn't give birth to a daughter for me, otherwise, I would have brought this guy home to meet my daughter!" Another middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh at this time.
His words immediately caused a burst of laughter, and everyone gave Lin Geng a thumbs up, saying that Lin Geng was a generous boy.
After listening to Lin Geng's explanation, Yan Bugui felt a little better. After all, Lin Geng's father was a martyr who died for his country. Lin Geng naturally felt close to soldiers. If that person was a veteran, then Lin Geng's behavior would be understandable.
But Yan Bugui still felt distressed. After all, it was a big fish that he had never caught in his life!
"Okay, okay, Third Uncle, don't feel bad! See, the biggest blue carp in the fish basket is given to you. You should feel relieved now, right?" Lin Geng saw that Yan Bugui still looked distressed, so he smiled and pointed at the black pile of fish in the fish basket and said to Yan Bugui.
When Yan Bugui heard this, his eyes widened immediately. The funny thing was that his pair of lame glasses with the legs wrapped with tape instantly slid to the tip of his nose. His expression was really funny.
Yan Bugui pointed at his nose in disbelief and asked, "Are you serious? Are you really going to give me that big black carp weighing five or six kilograms?"
Lin Geng nodded solemnly and said, "That's right! We are from the city of Sijiu, and we stick to our words! Of course I will give it to you if I say so!"
Yan Bugui no longer felt bad. What else could he feel bad about? The big catfish was caught by Lin Geng, not by him. Whom did he give it to? As long as the big black fish was given to him, it would be a good deal if it fell into his pocket!
So he immediately grinned so wide that his mouth almost reached his ears, and his teeth were exposed. He was about to say a few words of thanks to Lin Geng, but he saw Lin Geng raised his hand to stop him from speaking.
"But there is a prerequisite for me to give this fish to you, Third Uncle! You must agree to me before I give you this fish! If you don't agree, I won't give it to you!" Lin Geng continued.
Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat and the smile on his face froze. For a moment he didn't know what conditions Lin Geng wanted him to agree to. It wasn't going to be asking him to do something impossible, or asking him to do something illegal. In that case, he would have to consider whether it was cost-effective to accept the fish.
If the conditions proposed by Lin Geng were unreasonable, he would rather not have the fish than get on Lin Geng's pirate ship, so he asked anxiously: "Then you tell me first, I want to hear your conditions first!"
"Simple! Consider this fish a gift from me to your family to improve their lives. You can't secretly sell it for money. Look at your four children. How thin they are. Their faces are so thin that only two big eyes are left. They are just skin and bones! It makes me feel sad just looking at them!
I'll give you this fish. You can take it back to improve the lives of your children and Auntie San, and supplement their nutrition. Auntie San has had a hard time. She has given birth to four children for you, but she has never had a good day. She has only suffered with you all day long! I feel it's not worth it for Auntie San!
What do you think, Third Uncle? Do you agree to this condition? If you listen to me, then if I catch a lot of fish in the future, I will give them to you to eat. What do you think?" Lin Geng said to Yan Bugui seriously.
After Yan Bugui heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. His opinion of Lin Geng immediately reached a new level. He said with a choked voice: "Xiao Lin! What can I say? In the past, to be honest, I, Yan Bugui, have let you down! Today, I sincerely apologize to you!
I won’t say anything more. I appreciate your kindness. Let’s get along well from now on. If you have any problems in the hospital, just give me a call and I will definitely help you!
Give me this fish, I will listen to you and not sell it. I will take it back and cook it for my family! Speaking of which, I do owe your third aunt and the children, but I really have my own difficulties! If we don’t spend money carefully, you know how our family lives, we really can’t survive!” Yan Bugui was so moved that he burst into tears.
This is actually the case with people. Most people know how to be grateful. Although Yan Bugui is good at calculating, if you think about it carefully, in the plot, apart from feeling that Sha Zhu is not worthy of Teacher Ran, but coveting the generous gift Sha Zhu gave him, after receiving the gift, he was reluctant to introduce Ran Qiuye to Sha Zhu, which was a bit unkind. He also likes to guard the gate and take advantage of the neighbors, but he has never done anything really evil.
When Lin Geng treated him like this, Yan Bugui was grateful, knowing that Lin Geng was truly kind to him and felt sorry for the hard life their family was living.
So no matter how much Yan Bugui likes to scheme, he will be deeply moved when others treat him so sincerely.
"Okay, uncle, look at what you are doing. It's just a fish, isn't it? You gave me the earthworms and taught me how to fish. Otherwise, I might not be able to catch so many fish! Don't you think so? Giving you a fish is not a big deal. Isn't it normal?
Let's not talk about anything else. I see the fish basket is full and it's getting late. It will be dark when we go home. Otherwise, we will have to walk in the dark. Let's go back!" Lin Geng felt sad when he saw Yan Bugui's tearful face. It's not that he has a heart of a saint, but his soul came from the later era of great material abundance. After entering this era, he felt really sad when he saw some people around him living such a sad life.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. Although he is not a rich man, or a tycoon, or an official, who can blame him? He has a private farm of his own. In the future, the various grains, vegetables and meat produced in this small world will be enough to feed hundreds or thousands of people without any problem. Moreover, he does not have to pay much cost. It is like picking it up for free.
So as far as food is concerned, he really doesn't mind letting neighbors like Yan Bugui take advantage. This way he can also win over a group of forces on his side in the yard. After he has fleeced Yi Zhonghai's pension gang and Liu Haizhong, the bad guy, those people will inevitably fight with him when they return to the courtyard.
This approach of winning over some and striking down others was a very effective approach for managing a team and was also very suitable when he was a small leader in later generations and learned it fluently from the leaders above him.
Next, he will have to continue playing with those beasts like Yi Zhonghai and continue to fleece them. So instead of fighting alone, it would be better to get a group of neighbors to fight those beasts with him. It will be more fun that way!
So Yan Bugui wiped his tears and immediately helped Lin Geng pack up his fishing gear. He also packed up his own fishing gear. He also wanted to help Lin Geng carry the big fish basket. However, no matter how he looked at the fish basket, it seemed to be a lot bigger than when Lin Geng first arrived.
But when I looked closely, it was still a bamboo fish basket, and I didn't see anything special about it, so I thought I might have remembered it wrong.
How could he know that this fish basket is actually a treasure. It can be big or small, and can hold more fish than one could imagine. Lin Geng only caught about twenty fish today. Even if there were several times more, this fish basket could still hold them. The inside of the fish basket is actually just a miniature small space. Another advantage is that the fish put inside will not die even if there is no water. It is definitely a great treasure.
Think about it, how could the fish basket used by the great man who could open up a small world be an ordinary item? It would be too embarrassing if it couldn't even hold a dozen fish.
