Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

After hearing this, Xu Damao immediately agreed. On the one hand, he was shocked and a little jealous, but on the other hand, he was gloating over Yi Zhonghai and Yidama's misfortune. He wished he could invite Yan Bugui to come over to watch Yidama and the others' joke and let more people know that Yi Zhonghai and the others were in trouble this time.

So he agreed, immediately got up, opened the door, and ran towards the front yard. As expected, as soon as he went out, he saw that the hanging flower gates in the front and back yards were crowded with many residents of the Siheyuan. The residents in the middle courtyard also opened the windows, stretched their heads and pricked up their ears to listen to the sounds coming from Lin Geng's house.

Some people even quietly gathered outside Lin Geng's house, listening to the sounds coming from the house with shocked faces.

He didn't even have to run to the front yard to see Yan Bugui and his family crowded at the hanging flower gate leading to the back yard, folding their arms and shivering with the cold, but they were all in high spirits, eating melons with their ears perked up.

So Xu Damao told Yan Bugui that Lin Geng asked him to be a witness and took Yan Bugui to Lin Geng's house.

Lin Geng stood up and gave the only wobbly, broken chair in the house to Yan Bugui to sit on. He poured him a cup of hot water, took out a box of cigarettes and put it in front of Yan Bugui, asking Yan Bugui to sit down and help be a witness.

Yan Bugui was also shocked at Lin Geng's ruthlessness at the moment. He actually demanded a huge claim of two thousand just from Yi Zhonghai. Yan Bugui was really envious of this and wished that the money could be compensated to him. In this way, he wouldn't have to calculate every day like he does now.

However, although Yan Bugui was somewhat envious and jealous, he did not hate Lin Geng. After all, he knew very well that the dirty things Yi Zhonghai did to Lin Geng almost forced Lin Geng to death. If you think about it carefully, it was Yi Zhonghai's own fault that Lin Geng was so cruel to him.

In addition, he had just heard outside that Lin Geng said that the Yi family's deposits were definitely not less than five or six thousand yuan. As a man of good calculations, he had already calculated this for Yi Zhonghai and was very clear that the amount of Yi family's deposits calculated by Lin Geng was not nonsense. Yan Bugui even believed that the amount of Yi family's deposits might be more than this.

Even if Yi Zhonghai and his wife compensated Lin Geng 2,200 yuan, the Yi family would still be the richest family in the courtyard.

At this point, the aunt had no way out and could only grit her teeth, turn around and walk home with a deathly pale face. After entering the house, she closed the door, drew the curtains, and began to rummage through the drawers in the house.

While the first aunt was getting the money, Lin Geng turned his gaze to the second aunt, and once again revealed a wicked sneer on his face, and said, "How about it, second aunt? It's time to talk about your Liu Haizhong and your three sons, right? How much compensation do you plan to pay in exchange for me issuing a letter of understanding to them? You name your price first!"

It was not until this time that Second Aunt recovered from the shock of the amount of compensation that Lin Geng had proposed to First Aunt. When she heard Lin Geng asking her how much compensation she was willing to pay in exchange for a letter of understanding for her family's Liu Haizhong and three sons, Second Aunt was so scared that her calves were cramping.

Lin Geng only asked Yi Zhonghai for compensation of 2,300 yuan. Four people from her family were arrested at once! If Lin Geng also asked for 2,000 yuan per person, her family would have to pay Lin Geng 8,000 yuan.

Although Liu Haizhong's salary is quite high, it is the second highest salary in this courtyard, second only to Yi Zhonghai's, but her family cannot save as much money as Yi Zhonghai's family.

After all, her family has three sons, and the saying that the young boy eats his father out of money is not just a casual remark. Moreover, Liu Guangqi in their family has always been a good student. In the courtyard, he is the one who looks at other people's children and is the pride of them. Therefore, they have invested a lot in Liu Guangqi over the years.

Liu Haizhong was also a blacksmith, which was physically demanding work, so he had to eat well and have enough strength to do the work. So Liu Haizhong had to eat some fried eggs every day to supplement his nutrition. In addition, he had to give eggs to Liu Guangqi to supplement his nutrition and help him study well. However, their family had only a few egg tickets, so they often had to go to the pigeon market to buy eggs at high prices.

Even if the couple didn't like Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they should at least let them eat! The most basic survival guarantee would still be given to these two guys, and they couldn't be starved to death.

Therefore, the Liu family's monthly expenses are much higher than Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and their salary is not as high as Yi Zhonghai's. As a result, they cannot save much money throughout the year. It is considered good if they can save one or two hundred yuan a year.

After all their efforts, their family has saved only over 1,000 yuan, less than 2,000 yuan, which is already considered a wealthy family in the compound.

But if Lin Geng still demands exorbitant amounts like he did to Yi Zhonghai, asking for 2,000 yuan per person and asking their family to pay 8,000 yuan in compensation, then even if they sold their house and dismembered all their bones, they would still not be able to raise 8,000 yuan to compensate Lin Geng!

So the second aunt burst into tears on the spot, and knelt down in front of Lin Geng with a plop, wailing: "Xiao Lin! Our family is not like Lao Yi's! We have three sons to support, and the monthly expenses are very high. We really don't have much money saved! Can you please be more kind and ask for less? Otherwise, even if you cut my bones into buttons, I can't get you much money!

If my family had saved as much money as Lao Yi's, Lao Liu wouldn't have been so obsessed with your workstation and wanted to take it away at a low price! My family really can't afford that much money! Woo woo..."

Lin Geng looked coldly at the second aunt kneeling in front of him and crying loudly, then stood up and stepped aside, saying in a cold voice: "Second aunt, I can't bear your kneeling. No matter what, I am young and can't bear such a gift from you! Otherwise, if it gets out, people will say that I am a worthless person! So don't hurt me!

If you want to solve the problem, then stand up and talk nicely, we can discuss it! If you are still kneeling, then let's not talk anymore, I will ask the neighbors to come and help me send you home! "

When the second aunt heard this, she didn't dare to kneel anymore. She climbed up crying and looked at Lin Geng with a pleading face. She continued to ask Lin Geng to ask for less compensation considering that their family was not as rich as Yi Zhonghai's. She herself didn't dare to say how much compensation she would give Lin Geng, but just asked Lin Geng to name a price.

Lin Geng saw Second Auntie stand up, then he sat back on the stool, rubbing his chin with one hand, looking up as if thinking. After thinking for a while, he said to Second Auntie: "Well, I also know that your family definitely doesn't have as much savings as Yi Zhonghai's family. After all, you have three sons, unlike Yi Zhonghai who is an old and extinct family! If the couple is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry!

How about this, I won't make it difficult for you. If you want me to write a letter of apology for your father and sons, Liu Haizhong will give me 1,000 yuan, and the three sons, you each give me 500 yuan! A total of 2,500 yuan will be compensated to me, and I will forgive them!

If you compensate one person, I will write you a letter of apology. If you compensate two people, I will write you two letters. It’s up to you.”
