Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

If you live in this courtyard, you have to be extra careful. If you are not careful, some beasts might catch you and even if they can't do anything to you, it will be troublesome and disgusting!

Therefore, he must do things as flawlessly as possible. Even if someone wants to frame him, he must leave traces so that others cannot find fault with him afterwards.

After coming out of the grain store, he carried the flour bags to a secluded place. With a thought, the two flour bags bulged up, each filled with more than 30 kilograms of white flour and corn flour. He also took out a chicken and a rabbit from the space, and then carried them back to the courtyard.

The third aunt... now she should be called the first aunt. In order to avoid confusion, Lin decided to call her Aunt Yan. At that time, people of a certain age still took their husband's surname. Once a woman in the old society got married, she would add her husband's surname in front of her own surname, just like that fat woman Jia Zhang. Her original surname was Zhang, but after she married Old Jia, she was called Jia Zhang.

So Lin Geng changed his name to call the third aunt Aunt Yan, to avoid confusion and confuse the readers!

"Xiao Lin, you bought the noodles so quickly?" Aunt Yan greeted him as soon as she saw Lin Geng coming back with two bags of noodles. Her eyes lit up when she saw the two bags that were almost full, as well as the fat rooster and rabbit.

Once a person forms a habit, it is difficult to change it. Aunt Yan has been with Yan Bugui for so many years and has learned all the tricks. Usually when Old Yan is not in the yard, she guards the door and acts as a door god, staring at the residents in the yard when they come back to see what they are carrying in their hands, trying to take advantage of them in every way possible.

Although Lin Geng's temperament changed drastically and he sent Yi Zhonghai's pension group to jail, and also sent Liu Haizhong and his son to jail, Yan Bugui strictly ordered everyone in their family not to offend Lin Geng and to have a good relationship with him. He also warned Aunt Yan not to take the initiative to plot against Lin Geng to take advantage of him.

So these days, although Aunt Yan saw Lin Geng carrying a lot of things back to the courtyard every day, she tried hard to restrain herself and not to plot against Lin Geng or take advantage of him.

But when she saw Lin Geng coming back with so much flour and cornmeal, her eyes still lit up, revealing her greed.

Fortunately, although Aunt Yan's eyes were shining, she did not reach out her hand. She tried hard to restrain her greed, greeted Lin Geng, and asked Lin Geng if he needed her help.

"No, these things are nothing. I can easily carry them with one hand. I won't bother you! But I'll trouble you to kill and clean up these chickens and rabbits for me!"

But I have to say it in advance, you can keep the chicken head, chicken neck, chicken buttocks and chicken intestines, and you can also keep the rabbit skin and rabbit entrails, and give me the rest, because I have to treat Teacher Yan and Brother Mao to drinks tonight!" Lin Geng looked at Aunt Yan trying hard to restrain her expression of wanting to take advantage of her, and laughed in his heart, but still politely rejected Aunt Yan's kindness, but handed the chicken and rabbit to Aunt Yan.

When Aunt Yan heard this, her brows lit up again and she quickly agreed. Although Lin Geng only asked her to keep the chicken head, neck, butt, intestines, rabbit skin and rabbit internal organs, these were all good things for her. Even the chicken feathers could be kept to exchange for money, which was already very good.

After sorting out these odds and ends, their family can have meat for two days. What's more, Yan Bugui will come over to eat together in the evening, which saves the family a meal.

So Aunt Yan agreed and started to get busy.

After he brought the two bags of flour back home, he took a fish to the backyard and found Aunt Liu who was making matchboxes at home. He gave the larger fish to Aunt Liu and said to her:

"Aunt Liu, I want to discuss something with you. I have to clean up the house starting tomorrow. I have found a few craftsmen and have agreed to provide lunch for them!

I'm not very good at steaming buns, so do you think you could start tomorrow, and after you finish cleaning the house for a few days, help me cook for the chefs at noon every day?

I won't let you work for nothing. I'll give you one dollar a day as your wages. Besides, you and your child can have a meal at my place! Do you think it's okay?"

When Aunt Liu heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red. She immediately realized that Lin Geng was taking care of her. He said he wanted her to help with cooking, but in fact he wanted her to take advantage of him.

Aunt Liu said quickly, "Why are you being so polite to me, kid? It's only been a few days and you've sent me some big fish. My kid and I remember your kindness!

If you have something to ask for, just give it to me. Why should I give you money? I know you are good to our family and want to take care of us! I am not stupid. I can't take advantage of you! Otherwise, do you still want to keep my face?

You let me take the kids to your house for dinner, I've already taken advantage of you. I can't take the money. I'll go over and help you cook tomorrow morning! Leave this to me!"

Lin Geng laughed, thinking, who said that this courtyard is full of beasts? At least Aunt Liu and Old Wang in this courtyard are grateful people. Not everyone is like Jia Zhang, who never gets enough of taking advantage and is unlikely to be grateful after taking advantage.

People like Aunt Liu are worthy of his help, because he now owns a small world with abundant resources. As the saying goes, if you are poor, you can take care of yourself, but if you are rich, you can help the world. He cannot help the world, but it is not a problem for him to help the needy families in the same courtyard and make their lives better.

As long as they know how to be grateful, and are not like those beasts in the Jia family who never get enough of the advantages and take them for granted, then helping them will not be a big deal at all. Moreover, these people will definitely become his die-hard supporters in the future, and will definitely become his force in the yard. When he fights against Yi Zhonghai and those beasts again, he will not have to fight alone.

"Look at what you said, why are you being so polite to me? I didn't buy this fish with my own money. Besides, I promised to give a fish to every household in the yard today!

You know, I got a lot of money from those beasts this time. What's this little money? Just take it. Your child needs to pay tuition later. Don't be polite to me!

It's settled, I'll wait for you to come over and help me tomorrow!" Lin Geng said to Aunt Liu with a smile, and then he patted his butt and went back to the middle courtyard.

Aunt Liu looked at Lin Geng's back, sighed slightly, wiped the tears from her eyes, and whispered to herself: "This child! What a good child! But he has suffered so much! How could Yi Zhonghai and his people be so cruel to such a good child? They are really a bunch of beasts! Bah! They got it so easy! Humph!"

After Lin Geng returned home, people in the yard also started to get off work and return to the courtyard. They were all looking forward to whether Lin Geng could fulfill his promise last night and give each household a fish today.

After returning, many people immediately asked Yan Bugui, who had run back early to take over Aunt Yan's post as guarding the gate, whether Lin Geng had caught any fish today.

When Yan Bugui came back, he learned from his wife that Lin Geng had made a great catch again today. He came back and gave his family two big fish. Yan Bugui was so happy that he looked at the two big fish in the basin and sighed repeatedly. He said that Lin Geng was really lucky. He could get a big catch every time he went fishing. It was really weird!

In addition, when he saw the fat chicken and fat rabbit that his wife was preparing, he found out that Lin Geng was preparing to treat them to dinner in the evening, which made Yan Bugui even happier.

In just a few days, he had already eaten a few meals with Lin Geng, and all of them were meat dishes. He was satisfied with his appetite, and tonight he could even eat such fat chickens and rabbits, which was much better than what they had eaten during the Chinese New Year before.

Therefore, Yan Bugui repeatedly told his wife not to offend Lin Geng in the future, and never to take advantage of Lin Geng. She should deal with Lin Geng in a good way. Given Lin Geng's personality, he would never let them suffer any loss.
