Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

She held a cloth bag tightly in her hands and staggered inch by inch towards the Lin family's door, as if her legs were filled with lead. Every step she took seemed to require all her strength, as if she was being escorted to the execution ground. She moved towards the Lin family with difficulty, with a look of grief on her face.

The people in the yard were watching the first and second aunts coming out of Lin Geng's house crying. They seemed to have taken a lot of money in, and came out with one or two pieces of paper. Everyone was envious.

They were almost dying of envy at this moment, that was more than 3,000 yuan! They might not be able to save so much money in their lifetime, and Lin Geng was really cruel, he dared to ask for so much money from them.

If they had known that they could extort so much money from them, many people would have thought that if only Yi Zhonghai, the Jia family and the Liu family had bullied them, then they would have become rich.

But they could only think about it. After all, Lin Geng was the orphan of a martyr, and they were not the martyr's family members. Moreover, they could not withstand the gang led by Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhang. Even if they reported to the police, they might not get such attention. They might suffer in the end.

So even if they are envious, jealous and hateful, they can only be envious, jealous and hateful. This kind of thing cannot be replicated, so they can only stare and drool in envy.

When they saw Qin Huairu walking out of the Jia family with a deathly pale face and moving step by step towards the Lin family, they all noticed the cloth bag in Qin Huairu's hand, so someone immediately said: "Could it be that the Jia family really hid so much money? If we heard correctly just now, Lin Geng wanted their family to pay nearly a thousand, right?

Can the Jia family really come up with so much money? "

Others then shook their heads or nodded, and some began to say angrily: "It seems that what Lin Geng said is correct. The Jia family should never be short of money. It is possible that they really have so much money hidden!

Yi Zhonghai is really not a good guy. The Jia family is so rich, but they still force us to donate money and grain to the Jia family. Yi Zhonghai is so mean! He really treats us neighbors as fools! Bah! When this old guy comes out, we must settle accounts with him! We can't let this old man go like this!"

This man's words immediately aroused the response of other residents, who expressed their indignation one after another, saying that when Yi Zhonghai, the old man with no money, came out, they would hold a general meeting to criticize this old man.

At this time, another person whispered, "I say, do you find it strange? Why does Yi Zhonghai favor the Jia family so much? Could it be that Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's child? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. Jia Dongxu is just his apprentice. Is it necessary for him to treat the Jia family like this?"

"You know what, this is really possible. Maybe Yi Zhonghai had an affair with Jia Zhang in the past and gave birth to Jia Dongxu without telling old Jia! Old Jia didn't know, but he knew, so he was so good to the Jia family after old Jia died!" When that person expressed his suspicion, others immediately began to agree.

However, some people shook their heads and said, "I don't think it's possible! I have seen Old Jia, and Jia Dongxu looks a lot like Old Jia, so he should not be Yi Zhonghai's son! I guess the reason why Yi Zhonghai is so good to the Jia family is that he wants Jia Dongxu to take care of him when he is old! Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi don't have any children, so there will be no one to take care of them when they are old!

So Yi Zhonghai considered Jia Dongxu to be his future elder, that’s why he is so partial to the Jia family! ..."

Amid the whispers of the crowd, Qin Huairu finally took a long time to move to the Lin family. She walked to the table tremblingly, her face full of reluctance. With trembling hands, she placed a cloth bag in front of Lin Geng. However, although she put the bag down, she still refused to let go, and the reluctance in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Lin Geng looked at Qin Huairu jokingly and did not take the cloth bag. Instead, he said, "What? Are you still reluctant to part with it? If you can't bear to part with it, then just take it back! I don't want it!"

When Qin Huairu heard Lin Geng's teasing, she trembled all over and finally tears welled up in her eyes. She put down the cloth bag in her hand with reluctance, and then she collapsed to the ground as if all the strength had been drained from her body, lowered her head and burst into tears.

Lin Geng then leisurely picked up the cloth bag, opened it and revealed a wad of money wrapped inside. Wow! It was quite a lot!

Although there are not many big black tens here, small notes account for the majority, with five-yuan notes being the majority, and some three-yuan and one-yuan notes. Now is 1962, and the second set of RMB is still in circulation on the market. The third set has not yet been officially issued, but it will be issued soon.

The current version, including the big black ten and three yuan banknotes, are of very high value in later generations and are very rare collections in the collection market.

Lin also knew that this version of banknotes would only circulate in the market for two more years at most before it would be withdrawn from circulation. He did not plan to spend all the money, and he would keep the brand new ones. In the future, these coins would definitely become scarce collections and he would definitely make a fortune.

As expected, Mrs. Jia Zhang had indeed hidden a lot of money. After Lin counted it carefully, there was exactly 940 yuan, not a penny more or less. This showed that Qin Huairu had already counted the money before she came over while hiding in her house. It also showed that the Jia family might still have some money, but it shouldn't be too much.

So Lin Geng collected the money again, turned to Qin Huairu, who was so distressed that she looked like she was about to cry, and asked, "Okay, the amount of money is correct. Who do you want me to write a letter of apology to? Your mother-in-law or Jia Dongxu?"

Qin Huairu was still in a state of grief and unconsciousness, with dull eyes. Lin Geng asked her twice before she reacted and asked weakly: "Brother Lin, can't you have pity on our family? Can't you issue a letter of understanding to my mother-in-law and Dongxu?"

Lin Geng immediately frowned and said, "What are you dreaming about? You want me to forgive Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu for this little money? I'm telling you, I can only give a letter of forgiveness to one of them. Tell me who you want to give it to! I don't have time to talk to you!"

Qin Huairu saw that it was absolutely impossible for Lin Geng to issue a letter of understanding to both Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu at the same time, so she could only whisper: "Then write a letter of understanding to my Dongxu!" At this time, she had completely abandoned Jia Zhangshi.

Without saying a word, Lin Geng immediately began to write the letter of apology that Yan Bugui had drafted for him. In a short while, he had finished writing the letter of apology to Jia Dongxu. At the same time, he also wrote a compensation agreement and handed it to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu could only sign the compensation agreement while crying, and then she took the letter of apology to Jia Dongxu from Lin Geng. Then, like the first and second aunts, she left the Lin family and returned to the Jia family while crying loudly.

Lin Geng stretched and asked Xu Damao about the time. Xu Damao had a watch. Although it was old, it was rare nowadays.

When he asked Xu Damao, he found out that it was already past ten o'clock, so Lin Geng said to Yan Bugui and Xu Damao, "That's it! Let's leave it at that for today! Sorry to bother you two! Come to my house tomorrow night, I'll buy two bottles of good wine and bring back some meat, and then the three of us will have a good drink to celebrate!"

It's a bit late today, and you still have to go to work tomorrow, so let's go first. You two have worked hard, go back and have a rest!"
