Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

So whether it was Director Wang, Deputy Director Zhou, or Director Yang, they all warned Auntie One and asked her to tell Auntie Two that if they wanted to get Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong out, they had to meet the conditions proposed by Lin Geng. If they themselves could not meet the conditions proposed by Lin Geng, then no one could save Yi Zhonghai and the others.

That's why the first aunt, the second aunt, and Qin Huairu waited at the door of Lin Geng's house, waiting to discuss with Lin Geng how to make Lin Geng let Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others go.

But just now, I don’t know if Qin Huairu was kicked in the head by a donkey. She couldn’t see the situation clearly, used her tea art, and wanted to morally blackmail Lin Geng. Isn’t this just looking for death?

So Lin was even more angry and scolded Qin Huairu. The first aunt and the second aunt did not think that Qin Huairu was wronged at all, so they both scolded Qin Huairu a few words.

Now Lin Geng finally began to discuss with the aunt how to spare Yi Zhonghai. He did not take the initiative to propose conditions, but let the aunt talk about what she planned to do to gain his forgiveness of Yi Zhonghai.

In fact, when the aunt was waiting for Lin Geng, she had already thought about it and had a rough idea in her mind, so she said to Lin Geng: "Xiao Lin! On behalf of my old Yi, I apologize to you here! The aunt also knows that what old Yi did was really too much and caused you a lot of injustice.

We also can't let you suffer these grievances in vain. You see, we will return to you the 200 yuan consolation money that Lao Yi secretly withheld from you by the factory. We also paid for the money that we used to hold the banquet in the first place!

We will also compensate you 200 yuan, is that okay with you?"

After hearing what the aunt said, Lin Geng immediately spat out the hot water he had just drunk with a "pu" sound, almost spraying it all over the aunt and the others' faces.

Lin Geng showed an expression of disbelief on his face, and then turned into anger. He glared at the aunt and said angrily: "Auntie, what are you thinking? You just want to send me away with 200 yuan? Do you really think you are sending away a beggar?

You're still talking about the money for the banquet being charged to you! Ugh! When you secretly withheld the compensation money given to me by the factory, you used the money to secretly hold a banquet in the yard to win people's hearts. Who among you asked for my opinion? Did you get my consent?

And I haven't forgotten that after Yi Zhonghai hosted the banquet, he shamelessly came to my house and informed me, asking me to return the money to him later!

You gave Uncle Three 70 yuan for the banquet, but that old beast Yi Zhonghai billed me 150 yuan and asked me to pay him 150 yuan later!

I ask you, auntie, do you two have any shame? Yi Zhonghai intercepted the consolation money given to me by the factory, spent 70 yuan, and wanted to take another 150 yuan from me! He also wanted to defraud 80 yuan from me!

You are just talking nonsense now, wanting to give me 200 yuan to get rid of me, and wanting me to write a letter of apology to that old bastard Yi Zhonghai. Bah! You are so crazy! You are dreaming!

Okay, you can get out now! I don't want to waste my time talking to you anymore. No one can help me now. Even if I don't want to work at the steel mill, I will definitely send Yi Zhonghai, the old beast, to prison for a heavy sentence. I will also strongly demand that he must be given peanuts!"

Lin Geng's face was ferocious and his eyes were bloodshot. He almost roared as he scolded the old lady.

The old lady was nearly having a heart attack from Lin Geng's ridicule and scolding. She almost died on the spot. She covered her chest with her hands, her face turned pale. She reached into her pocket tremblingly, took out a small bottle of medicine, and tremblingly poured out a pill and put it in her mouth, then sat down softly on the ground.

Lin Geng was also shocked. He then remembered that the old lady had a bad heart and had been taking medicine. She also died of a heart attack in the plot. After being scolded by him, the old lady's heart might really not be able to bear it.

However, he did not show any intention of backing down. He watched the second aunt and Qin Huairu frantically rubbing the chest and back of the first aunt, and waited for the first aunt to recover.

After the old lady dissolved the medicine in her mouth, her face regained some color. She opened her eyes and looked at Lin Geng with trembling lips. She said to Lin Geng, "Xiao Lin, I beg you to show mercy just once! How much compensation do you want? Just tell me the amount and we'll see if we can give it to you! Just don't let me raise it, okay?"

Lin Geng waved his hand with a cold face and said, "Go home! I don't want to waste time talking to you anymore. I'm afraid you might die in my house! If that happens, I will be condemned by thousands of people!"

"You go! Brother Mao, help me open the door and let the neighbors in the yard watch, so that no one will be killed and think that I killed Aunt Yi!"

"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you! We can't let you take the blame, not even with me around. We need to get the neighbors to help bear witness. We can't put the blame on you!" Xu Damao was eager to watch the fun, and after hearing what Lin Geng said, he immediately stood up and went to open the door.

The auntie panicked at this moment, and waved her hands anxiously, saying, "No, no, no, Xiaolin, I'm fine, I'm fine! I beg you! How much compensation do you want us to give you before you are willing to let Lao Yi go? Just tell me a number, I'll listen and see if we can come up with it!"

The old lady didn't dare to throw a tantrum or anything, nor did she dare to threaten Lin Geng with her bad heart. She now saw clearly that Lin Geng really hated her old Yi this time. If she tried to commit suicide at this time and wanted to use her bad heart to scare and threaten Lin Geng, Lin Geng probably wouldn't fall for it, and might even completely give up the idea of ​​reconciliation with them and go directly to the street office and the police.

At that time, Lin Geng only needs to report to the street office and the police, saying that she is trying to commit suicide to force him to forgive Yi Zhonghai, then it is estimated that no one will be able to protect Yi Zhonghai.

So the aunt could only beg Lin Geng to tell her the number himself.

Seeing that Auntie didn't dare to use this desperate trick to force him to let Yi Zhonghai go, Lin Geng called Xu Damao, thought for a moment, and said to Auntie in a cold voice: "Okay, Auntie Yi! Don't say that I am unkind. You know best how your old Yi treats me!

Therefore, the conflict between our two families will never be resolved in this lifetime! Regardless of whether we can reach an agreement today, our two families will never have any contact with each other in the future!

So if you really want me to give him this letter of apology and save your old Yi's life, then I won't make it difficult for you. Just give me two thousand yuan! I will give you this letter of apology!"

When the old lady heard that Lin Geng wanted her to give him two thousand yuan, her heart seemed to skip a few beats and she almost had another heart attack. She was so heartbroken that she wanted to die.

Two thousand yuan! If it were a temporary worker, with a monthly salary of eighteen yuan, it would take ten years to earn two thousand yuan! Although Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level worker, with a monthly salary of ninety-nine yuan, plus the occasional overtime allowance, special task allowance, and apprentice allowance, he could earn a little over a hundred yuan, but it would take Yi Zhonghai almost two years to earn that much.

In order to save up two thousand yuan, Yi Zhonghai and she would have to live frugally for three or four years to save up that amount. This amount of money is a huge sum that most families in the Siheyuan could not possibly save up in their entire lives. Yet Lin Geng just said it easily and asked them to pay two thousand yuan in compensation.

Isn't this trying to force them to death? The aunt was so distressed that she could hardly breathe. You know, it's not that she can't take out the money. Their family did save a lot of money. It's not that difficult to take out the money, and there is even a lot left.

But that was all the money that Yi Zhonghai and she had saved bit by bit over the years, and they were planning to use it for their retirement. If they gave it to Lin Geng as compensation, then what would Yi Zhonghai do for his retirement when he retired?
