Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

In fact, it is very simple to win over these residents. Just give them some small favors, and it is easy to get their approval. Isn't it just a few dozen eggs? For others, it may cost a lot of money, about five cents per egg, and fifty or sixty eggs need three or four yuan, but this is nothing to Lin Geng! After all, the eggs are laid by the chickens in his own little world, so he doesn't have to spend a penny.

When these neighbors received the two eggs sent by Lin Geng, they all smiled happily. They immediately smiled at Lin Geng and thanked him repeatedly. Their faces were full of smiles and their attitude towards Lin Geng immediately improved.

People are like this. Once they receive a favor, even if it is just a small benefit, they will feel good about the person who gave them the gift.

Although two eggs are not much, for many people, it is a very good gift. At least it allows the family to fry two eggs to satisfy their hunger.

But when Lin Geng delivered eggs, he deliberately bypassed the Jia family, the Yi family, the Liu family and the old deaf man in the backyard. He gave eggs to other residents but didn't give them any. Even He Yushui, who was returning home from school, was called back home by Lin Geng and treated to a delicious meal. Not only was there fried meat, but also a large plate of eggs, which made the thin and weak He Yushui very happy.

Speaking of which, He Yushui is really pitiful. After her father ran away with a widow, she had to live with He Yuzhu since she was six years old. At first, the two siblings depended on each other. Sha Zhu was quite good to He Yushui, but in the past two years, since Qin Huairu married into the Jia family, Sha Zhu's soul has been seduced away by Qin Huairu.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai's old man Biden deliberately used moral blackmail on Shazhu, instilling in him every day that the Jia family had a hard time, and asked Shazhu to find ways to help the Jia family more. As a cook, he could bring some leftovers back from the canteen to the Jia family every day to supplement the family.

It just so happened that Sha Zhu was envious of Qin Huairu, so he stuck to her without hesitation. Jia Dongxu was not dead yet, so Sha Zhu started to bring food back from the cafeteria and send it to the Jia family, just to see Qin Huairu more and say a few more words to her.

The Jia family also discovered that if Sha Zhu brought back a lunch box, and Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu went to ask Sha Zhu for it, Sha Zhu would basically make excuses, saying that it was for He Yushui and would refuse to give it to them.

But whenever Qin Huairu went to Sha Zhu to ask for a lunch box, it could be said that it was always successful and it never failed! Whenever Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu, he would take the initiative to give the lunch box to Qin Huairu.

Although Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi both realized that Sha Zhu was greedy for Qin Huairu and were very unhappy about it, the selfish mother and son chose to forbear. After all, getting the leftovers that Sha Zhu brought back from the factory for free could save the Jia family a lot of money, and the vegetables in the factory were fatter than those at home, and there was some meat from time to time. If they didn't let Qin Huairu ask Sha Zhu for lunch boxes, then not only would they have to buy vegetables themselves, but they would also not be able to eat the meat from the factory.

So the mother and son could clearly see that Sha Zhu liked Qin Huairu, but they did not stop Qin Huairu from asking Sha Zhu for lunch boxes. However, they often scolded Qin Huairu as a little slut at home. While scolding Qin Huairu, they forced Qin Huairu to ask Sha Zhu for lunch boxes every time Sha Zhu came home from get off work.

The reason why He Yushui is pitiful is that ever since Sha Zhu fell in love with Qin Huairu and started bringing lunch boxes to the Jia family, he has never had a full meal. Sha Zhu put all his heart on Qin Huairu and gradually ignored his own sister.

Lin Geng is a few years older than He Yushui, and can be said to have grown up with He Yushui. In the past, Lin's mother had seen that He Yushui would often go hungry because of Sha Zhu, who gave his lunch box to the Jia family. So, feeling sorry for He Yushui, she would often call He Yushui over to the Lin family to eat something, as she couldn't bear to see He Yushui go hungry.

Therefore, He Yushui and Lin Geng are quite close. Although he has no relative relationship with Lin Geng, he has a pretty good relationship with Lin Geng. When they meet, he always calls Lin Geng "Brother Lin" affectionately.

Even this time when Lin Geng beat up Sha Zhu, although He Yushui felt sorry for her brother, she did not blame Lin Geng. Lin Geng saw that Sha Zhu was detained in the police station for the past two days, and He Yushui had no one to take care of her. Maybe because her own brother bullied Lin Geng, she was embarrassed to ask Lin Geng for a meal when she was hungry.

These past two days, He Yushui has been hiding at home, making do with some cornmeal porridge. Because she is still young and Sha Zhu has never taught her to cook, He Yushui can't even make steamed corn bread, let alone stir-fry. So she can only make do with cornmeal porridge and pickles.

Today, Lin Geng distributed eggs door to door. Although he avoided the Yi family, the Liu family, the Jia family and the old deaf man, he did not bypass the He family. After knocking on the He family's door, he saw He Yushui making a smoky fire in the kitchen, preparing to cook cornmeal porridge, so he felt a little sorry for this little girl.

So Lin Geng took He Yushui to his home without saying a word, fried her some pork belly and cabbage, a large plate of chopped green onions and eggs, and gave her a lot of pure cornmeal pancakes with a little sugar in them, and let He Yushui eat to her heart's content.

He Yushui was really starving these past two days. She had cornmeal porridge and pickles every day, which was just enough to fill her stomach. She would be hungry again after a while. Moreover, she had to walk to and from school. After three days, her face became pale from hunger.

Seeing that Lin Geng was still as good to her as before, He Yushui couldn't help but cry as she munched on a sweet and fragrant cornmeal pancake and ate some vegetables.

Lin Geng was eating when he saw He Yushui suddenly burst into tears. He was startled and asked quickly, "Yushui, why are you crying?"

He Yushui burst into tears, holding a cornmeal cake in her hand, and said to Lin Geng: "Brother Lin! My brother treated you like that, but you are still so good to me! I always feel sorry for you! I feel so sad, on one side is my dear brother, and on the other side is you who is so good to me! What should I do?"

Lin Geng smiled and rubbed He Yushui's little head with sympathy, saying, "Yushui, what are you thinking about? Let's put things aside! Don't get involved in the grudge between your brother and me. It has nothing to do with you! As long as you remember my kindness and don't learn from those ungrateful people to cheat me in the future, that's all!"

He Yushui heard this and said quickly, "No way! How could I follow the example of the Jia family and the eldest master? You've been so good to me, how could I follow them and harm you? I swear, if I become an ungrateful person in the future, please don't let me..."

"Shut up! Don't make any bullshit oaths! I believe you! Otherwise, I wouldn't be nice to you! I'm the only child in my family. Over the years, I've treated you like my own sister! If I didn't believe you, how could I treat you like this?

But I also have to say that your brother's nickname "Shazhu" is not wrong. Your father is not wrong in calling him "Shazhu". He is indeed a fool!

As soon as he saw the seductive Qin Huairu, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, he immediately lost his mind. Even though people were treating him like a fool, he was still happily sticking to them!

He doesn't care about having such a good sister like you, and his mind is full of sticking to the irrelevant Jia family all day long. Qin Huairu's farts are fragrant, and people use him as a gun. He really came to threaten me and forced me to lend money to Qin Huairu!

So is the Jia family really short of money? You saw it too, I extorted less than a thousand yuan from them, and Qin Huairu couldn't borrow it, but she still took it out, didn't she?

She borrows money from your brother every day, and also cheats money from me. Whenever she gets the chance, she cries poor and miserable to people in the yard, and whenever she gets the chance, she cries poor and borrows money from others!

But have you ever seen her pay back your brother and other people's money? If the street office and the police hadn't come this time and the matter hadn't become a big deal, she would have been caught by me for defrauding me of money. I guess she would never pay me back even if she was beaten to death!"
