Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Xu Damao got off work late in the evening. When he came back and walked into the central courtyard, he smelled the fragrance in the air. He immediately ran to Lin Geng's house with his nose raised.

When he saw Lin Gengzheng stir-frying rabbit meat in a large iron pan with a lot of peppercorns, star anise and red peppers, the aroma was so fragrant that Xu Damao was very greedy.

So Xu Damao immediately gave him a thumbs up and said, "Brother, your cooking skills are so amazing that even if I don't taste them, I can tell from just the smell! They're even better than those of Sha Zhu, the stupid chef! I really don't know when you learned this skill!"

He Yushui, who was helping Lin Geng nearby, heard Xu Damao mocking her brother Shazhu in front of her, so she rolled her eyes and said to Xu Damao, "Brother Damao, you can't laugh at my brother like this in front of me, right?"

At this time, Xu Damao noticed He Yushui who was watching Lin Geng frying rabbit meat. He was a little embarrassed, but he still said shamelessly: "Yushui is here too! I am telling the truth! Your brother is indeed a fool, otherwise he would not do such a stupid thing! Xiaolin is so good to you, but he helped Qin Huairu bully Xiaolin. Am I wronging him by saying that he is a fool?"

After hearing what Xu Damao said, He Yushui was speechless. She even blamed Sha Zhu in her heart, thinking that her own brother was really not very smart. Lin's mother and Lin Geng were so good to her before, and Lin's mother just passed away. But he actually came to bully Lin Geng for Qin Huairu. Xu Damao called him a fool, and he was not wrong to him.

Besides, not to mention that her silly brother is a fool, even she herself thinks that her silly brother is an ungrateful person. For the sake of an unrelated Qin Huairu, he treated Lin Geng, who had done her a favor, like this. To call him a fool is a bit of an overestimation of him.

As a result, He Yushui's mood suddenly became bad, and he stopped arguing with Xu Damao.

Lin Geng turned his head and saw that He Yushui was in a low mood and even wanted to cry, so he rolled his eyes at Xu Damao and said, "Brother Damao, please say less! After all, Shazhu is Yushui's biological brother. For my sake, you should be more polite in front of Yushui in the future!

Yushui, don't listen to Brother Mao's nonsense! Come, try a piece first to see if it's cooked and how it tastes! "

As he said this, he picked out a piece of rabbit meat from the pot and handed it to He Yushui. He Yushui smelled the spicy aroma of the rabbit meat, and immediately felt much better. He quickly picked up the piece with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and it was so hot that he could only breathe in the cool air. Then he fanned his mouth, yelling that it was hot, but he still couldn't help chewing it hard, and kept saying that it was delicious.

Xu Damao saw that Lin Geng couldn't bear to make He Yushui sad, so he quickly said, "Come on! Yushui, it was Brother Mao who spoke too much, don't be angry, I won't talk about your brother in front of you anymore, okay? Count me for speaking too much!"

Yu Shui rolled her eyes at Xu Damao, but didn't bother with him any more. After tasting the rabbit meat, her mood improved again.

Lin Geng’s rabbits grew up in the small world in a short time, so the meat was very tender and easy to cook, so it didn’t take long to cook. He put the rabbits in a large bowl directly out of the pot and asked Xu Damao to bring it into the house and put it on the table. Then he started to fry the chicken.

At this time, the Jia family not far away was in an uproar. Bang Geng smelled the spicy and fragrant aroma of rabbit meat wafting from Lin Geng's house. He immediately became angry and threw away the cornmeal steamed bread in his hand. He shouted to Qin Huairu: "I don't want to eat this steamed bread. These days, I eat this every day, with pickles or boiled cabbage. It's too disgusting!

I want to eat meat. I want to eat the rabbit meat and chicken made by the little bastard from the Lin family. Mom, go to his house and get some meat for me! I don’t care. I don’t want to eat steamed bread tonight. I want to eat meat!”

At this time, Xiaodang, who was only two years old, was drooling, looking at Qin Huairu with slurred words and eyes full of desire, and said timidly: "Mom, I want to eat meat too!"

Qin Huairu really hated Lin Geng at this time. Lin Geng sent her husband and mother-in-law to the police station, and also sent that guy Sha Zhu to the police station. He also extorted nearly a thousand yuan from her family. Now, without Sha Zhu's lunch box to support their family, the three of them, mother and son, could only eat cornmeal steamed bread with pickles, or boiled cabbage.

Although she had hidden some private money she got from Sha Zhu and some men in the courtyard, and there was also some private money hidden by Jia Zhang, she also knew that their family's life would be much more difficult in the future. Even if Jia Dongxu was released, he would probably be punished by the steel mill.

Therefore, she dared not spend the little money she had now, and had to eat frugally. If she wanted to eat something good, she had to hope that Sha Zhu would bring a lunch box from the factory to their family after he was released, so that she could eat some greasy food.

Although she was secretly happy that Lin Geng sent the evil mother-in-law Jia Zhang to the police station, the family became much quieter after Jia Zhang left. She finally didn't have to be cursed by Jia Zhang with all kinds of dirty words every day, and she finally had peace of mind for a few days.

But when she thought of the nearly one thousand dollars that Lin Geng had extorted from her family, she felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

Even if it was this money, even if Lin Geng had not extorted it from his family, she would not be able to touch it. Jia Zhangshi was such a miser that she regarded this money as her lifeblood, and it was all in and no out. It was impossible for her to take out the money to supplement the family income.

But after all, this money belongs to their Jia family. If that old hag Jia Zhang dies one day, the money will sooner or later belong to her, and can be left for Banggeng to use to marry a wife.

Now, everything was blackmailed by Lin Geng. Otherwise, Jia Dongxu would have to go to jail, and she might have been forced to be driven out of the courtyard, taking Banggeng, Xiaodang and the baby in her belly back to the countryside to live with her parents, or she would have to beg on the streets.

Lin Geng's attitude towards her has been extremely bad in the past few days. He has even confronted her many times and almost stripped her of her face. As a result, she dared not show her head in the yard for the past two days. She could only hide at home, fearing that she would be laughed at by the neighbors in the yard.

And looking at Lin Geng's life these days, he is living a good life! Since the accident, he has been eating delicious food every day. It's either Xu Damao who treats him or he treats him. Even the New Year's Day is not as good as they have eaten these days. Even Old Wang, who has no sense of existence in the yard, was invited by him to drink and eat meat. He even took good care of Sha Zhu's sister He Yushui.

In Qin Huairu's eyes, all the money Lin Geng spent was from the three families! It really pissed her off.

In addition, Lin Geng didn't know what kind of luck he had, but he actually learned how to fish from Yan Bugui. He went fishing twice and got a lot of fish both times. He not only ate the fish himself, but also gave them to others. However, the three families and the deaf old lady in the backyard were spared. Now everyone in the yard is eating fish, and only they can watch helplessly. This is simply too much.

Now Bang Geng was crying and asking for meat, and he specifically asked for the rabbit and chicken made by Lin Geng. Qin Huairu felt miserable and cursed Lin Geng secretly, "Didn't I just cheat you out of a few dozen yuan? Didn't I just let Sha Zhu scare you and make you lend me an extra ten yuan? Lin Geng, do you really treat me like this?"

Think of me, Qin Huairu. I am the most beautiful woman in this area of ​​courtyards! As long as I complain to other men, they are eager to take out all the money in their pockets and "lend" it to me.

You, Lin Geng, are also a young man, why don't you take my beauty into consideration? I am so beautiful, am I not worthy of your love?

Qin Huairu really couldn't understand. With her beauty and acting skills, why didn't Lin treat her like a fool? Instead, just because he "lent" her a few dozen yuan, he treated her like an enemy?

But after what happened in the past few days, she realized that Lin really didn't like her. He didn't give him any face at all, and he didn't fall for her pitiful attitude at all. As soon as he saw her using her usual tricks, he immediately glared at her and spoke harshly to her.

She wanted to ask for some meat from him to feed Bang Geng like she did to Sha Zhu, but she guessed that Lin Geng would definitely not give it to her.
