Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

In the past few years since she married into the Jia family, she has discovered that with this face of hers, as long as she shed a few tears to any man in this courtyard, she would almost never run into any resistance, especially when it comes to Sha Zhu, she is simply always successful, and almost all men who see her, as long as she gives them a smile, or says a few nice words, or squeezes out a few tears, no man can resist.

But today, in front of Lin Geng, all her tricks had no effect at all. She even saw a look of deep contempt and disgust in Lin Geng's eyes.

"Alright, Qin Huairu, just be quiet! It's already this late, and you're still thinking about Xiaolin's fish! If you're still wasting time here, then go home!

Your aunt and I still have to discuss my husband's affairs with Xiaolin! If you don't want to care about your mother-in-law and your husband, then you might as well go home and take care of the children!"

Seeing that Lin was getting annoyed by Qin Huairu, the second aunt could not bear to see Qin Huairu perform her tea art here, and she started to scold Qin Huairu rudely and angrily on the spot.

Only then did Qin Huairu remember that her main purpose today was to discuss with Lin Geng how Lin Geng could agree to forgive her husband Jia Dongxu and her mother-in-law Jia Zhang. But when she saw Lin Geng's fish just now, she got carried away and started thinking about Lin Geng's fish.

So Qin Huairu didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly nodded in agreement, with a pitiful look on her face again.

By this time, Lin Geng had quickly cleaned the big grass carp. He picked it up and walked into the kitchen. He found the new kitchen knife he had just brought back from Jia's house and started chopping the fish.

A big grass carp was quickly chopped into pieces under his knife. Lin Geng heated oil in a pan and started frying the fish.

Even though Lin Geng's original body was not very good at cooking, the current Lin Geng, in the later world, is a foodie. He lives alone, and apart from working, he does all kinds of fun, such as free fighting, archery, cycling, and riding motorcycles. When he has nothing to do, his other hobby is preparing food.

Although he had never studied cooking, with the development of the Internet in later generations, he could just search for whatever he wanted to eat and would find a lot of recipes with very detailed explanations.

Therefore, Lin Geng naturally mastered the cooking skills easily in later life. He wouldn't dare to say that his cooking skills are better than Sha Zhu's, but they should not be much worse.

He planned to make braised fish with the big grass carp he took out today. It would be delicious with the soup and water, and it would be quite tasty if eaten with steamed buns. If he could cook some noodles and mix them with the soup from the braised fish, it would definitely taste even better.

But now he didn't have time to knead the dough and roll the noodles, and ready-made noodles were not available on the market. He could only wait for Xu Damao to bring him a few steamed buns to eat with them.

The three of them could only go to the kitchen to discuss things with Lin Geng. The aunt wiped her tears and said, "Xiao Lin, I know that my old Yi has wronged you!

But after all, we have been neighbors for so many years. When you and your mother moved to our yard, we had a good relationship with your mother.

Could you please spare my Lao Yi this time for your mother's sake?"

After hearing what the first aunt said, the second aunt quickly followed up, "Yes, yes, Xiaolin! What the first aunt said is right! Look, we have been neighbors for so many years, and we see each other every day. I used to have a good relationship with your mother. For your mother's sake, can you spare my old Liu and my three useless sons this time?"

Qin Huairu saw that Auntie One and Auntie Two had already started to play the emotional card with Lin Geng, so she quickly said, "Xiao Lin, what Auntie One and Auntie Two said makes sense!

Look, we have been neighbors for such a long time. We see each other every day! It is true that my mother-in-law and Dongxu made mistakes at first, but we still have to live in the same yard in the future. We can't be too extreme and make it difficult for us to see each other in the future, right?

Please be more generous this time and let my mother-in-law and Dongxu go for once! I can help you clean up in the future..."

Lin Geng had already fried the fish, so he took it out and used the oil in the pan to stir-fry the onions, ginger, garlic and various seasonings. Then he poured the fish back into the pan, added the sugar, soy sauce and other seasonings he had just bought today, added water and began to stew. He covered the pot, turned around and said to Qin Huairu, who was talking about helping him clean up in the future:

"Stop! Qin Huairu, I've already said today that I will never have anything to do with your Jia family again. I'm a young unmarried man, but I let you, a married woman, clean for me all day long. Will I ever get married in the future?

Besides, with your little trick, I'm afraid if I ask you to help me clean up, I'm afraid I won't even have any underwear left! You took them all back to your house!

I'm not that big fool He Yuzhu! When he sees you, he is fascinated by you. If you open your mouth, he will give you anything!

You are a married woman now, and Jia Dongxu is still alive. I really despise Jia Dongxu and your mother-in-law. They let you, a married woman, go out into the yard and flirt with Sha Zhu and the men in the neighborhood to get free food, drinks and money all day long!

You guys are really shameless!"

Lin really couldn't stand Qin Huairu's teasing and despised her extreme selfishness, so he was merciless when he confronted Qin Huairu. He directly tore off the last fig leaf of the Jia family in front of the first and second aunts and explained the calculations of the Jia family clearly.

No matter how thick-skinned Qin Huairu was, she couldn't bear it. It wasn't that Lin Geng wronged them, but that he saw through their little thoughts too thoroughly, which made Qin Huairu feel as if she was stripped naked in broad daylight, in public, and exposed to everyone.

Qin Huairu was so ashamed that she wanted to cover her face and run away immediately, or simply find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out again. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she could not withstand Lin Geng's naked exposure of her thoughts and the shameless behavior of Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi.

So Qin Huairu really cried this time, her tears gushed out like water, and she covered her mouth and cried more and more miserably, and finally squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

However, she did not hide her face and run away. After all, she now knew that no matter how disappointing Jia Dongxu was, he was still her man, and the father of her two children and an unborn child.

If he is really sentenced, then the four mothers may not be able to continue living in this courtyard. Their house is also owned by the steel rolling mill. If Jia Dongxu is sentenced, not only will they lose their jobs, but even their house may be taken back. At that time, the four mothers will either have to go back to her mother's hometown in the countryside and live under the care of others, or they will have to live on the streets as beggars.

Of course, there is another way out, that is, she simply divorces Jia Dongxu and finds a man to remarry. But now she already has three children. What kind of man can she find if she remarries with three burdens?

Any man with better conditions would probably not be willing to marry her. The only ones who would be willing to marry her would probably be some old and ugly widowers. Qin Huairu had a very high character. Not to mention old and ugly widowers, even a bachelor like Sha Zhu with good conditions would be looked down upon by her. She thought Sha Zhu was too ugly, too old-looking, and a little stupid, and was not worthy of her at all.

Therefore, she would not give up Jia Dongxu unless it was absolutely necessary. Now, even if Lin Geng scolded her harshly, she would just squat down and cry loudly, but she did not dare to turn around and run back home to hide.
