Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Sha Zhu thought about it according to Lin Geng's reminder, and he really felt that what Lin Geng said made sense. Although the fat man was usually very respectful and attentive to him, he was a little two-faced when it came to doing things. When Sha Zhu was in the kitchen, this guy was extremely diligent, but as long as Sha Zhu was not there, this guy would be sneaky and take advantage of his power to bully some kitchen helpers in the back kitchen.

After seeing clearly what kind of person Fatty was, he also realized that he was indeed a villain, so he followed Lin Geng's instructions and would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. He first taught Fatty some skills of cooking big pot dishes, which moved Fatty very much. Then, using the excuse that Fatty was already able to cook big pot dishes on his own, he privately asked the canteen director to transfer Fatty to another canteen, thus cutting ties with Fatty.

The fat man was still complacent, thinking that he had gotten a great advantage and had no hatred towards Sha Zhu.

Since Xu Damao failed to marry Lou Xiao'e in his life, he was not influenced by the Lou family. In addition, he had a good relationship with Lin Geng and was very good at flattery. So it was natural for him to be recruited by Li Huaide and became Li Huaide's subordinate. He was promoted to deputy chief of the Propaganda Department.

After the storm started, this guy also followed Lin Geng's advice. He could cheer for Li Huaide and eat and drink with him, but he would never learn from Liu Haizhong to charge into battle for Li Huaide and do things that would offend people. If he did that, he would suffer a great loss sooner or later, and might even have to take the blame for Li Huaide in the future.

Xu Damao's gratitude towards Lin Geng now is like an endless torrent of water. He obeys Lin Geng's orders and listens to whatever Lin Geng says. He also realizes that doing as Lin Geng says is definitely the right thing to do and will not let him suffer any loss.

So when encountering something, this guy always discusses it with Lin Geng first, listens to Lin Geng's ideas before taking action. He is much more tactful than in the original drama, so Lin Geng has nothing to worry about this guy.

The only thing that made Lin more worried was Lao Liu's family. Although the army was in chaos for a while when the storm first started, the higher-ups soon realized that chaos could happen anywhere except the army, so they quickly suppressed the chaos in the army. For the time being, Lao Liu's position in the army was relatively stable.

Moreover, Lao Liu also followed Lin Geng's advice and kept silent about the current chaos. Although this made Lao Liu very uncomfortable, he felt that Lin Geng was right. A lack of patience can ruin a great plan. How could an old revolutionary like him be stupid? Of course, he also saw the current situation. With his ability, even if he wanted to stop it, he was powerless to stop it. Instead, it would become a handle for some people, giving them a handle and a reason for others to attack him.

Therefore, Lao Liu now spends most of his time in the army, focusing on troop training and trying to avoid participating in various struggles. This approach really makes it impossible for those who don't get along with him to do anything to him.

After the storm started, Lin Geng met Lao Liu twice, and the two had in-depth conversations twice. Lin Geng could see that Lao Liu was deeply worried about the current chaos. He felt very depressed and even a little distressed. He wanted to write a letter to speak out, but after thinking it over again and again, he gave up.

Because after the storm started, he also realized that many old comrades who used to be upright in character were severely retaliated against because they spoke out for justice and touched upon the interests of a certain group. They were dismissed from their posts, tortured to death, and some even died unjustly.

Under such circumstances, even if he jumped out, he could not stop the current trend and would not play any role. He could only become a target and eventually become a worthless victim like those old comrades. After seeing this clearly, he could only helplessly choose to endure as Lin Geng said.

Just as Lin Geng said, now he is enduring humiliation and choosing to endure, not being caught up in the storm for the time being. He can also use his current identity and status to protect some comrades.

That's why Old Liu is so low-key now, which makes Lin feel a lot more at ease.

But in this world, you can't keep a low profile just because you want to, and no one will bother you just because you don't want to cause trouble. Although Lao Liu is very low-key and tolerant, there are still people who are thinking about him.

However, seeing that Lao Liu kept silent, strictly enforced discipline in the army, and practiced hard, these people had no way to say anything, so some of them turned their attention to Lao Liu's lover, Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang also has a job, serving as a deputy in a department within the district committee. In the past, Aunt Zhang was not in good health, often fell ill, and rarely went to work. The unit took into consideration that Aunt Zhang was also an old revolutionary, and that Old Liu was standing there, so no one said anything.

However, after taking the nourishing pills given to her by Lin Geng for a period of time, Aunt Zhang is now in much better health. She has become much stronger and more energetic, and walks with a breeze. She is also a person who cannot sit still, so as soon as she got better, she returned to the unit and started working diligently. It happened that Lao Liu didn't come home often and the children were all working outside, so she devoted herself to her work.

Although Aunt Zhang usually speaks gently, she actually has a very strong character. After the storm, she saw the chaos in the unit and too many people for the job, and she was very dissatisfied. So she publicly raised the issue at the work meeting, suggesting that the district committee should focus on the current work and focus on people's livelihood.

It was this meeting that was targeted by someone with ulterior motives. After hearing about this, a deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of Sijiu City named Lu set his sights on Aunt Zhang.

So the deputy director surnamed Lu secretly started to get some negative information on Aunt Zhang in the district committee. He bribed several of Aunt Zhang's colleagues and subordinates in the department, and wrote letters of denunciation to report that Aunt Zhang was dissatisfied with the current vigorous movement and was a typical capitalist-roader.

After these people handed the materials to frame Aunt Zhang to the Revolutionary Committee, they fell into the hands of the deputy director named Lu.

This deputy director surnamed Lu is actually an old revolutionary, but he is narrow-minded and good at scheming. He previously arranged for his son to join the army, and he happened to be assigned to Lao Liu's army, just to gild his reputation.

But this young man named Lu was not cut out to be a soldier. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he grew up under the care of his father. In a sense, he was a child of a military compound.

Many children who were born in military compounds mostly joined the army. Many of them were actually quite good. Their parents were old revolutionaries and had very strict requirements. Although they were a little arrogant, they were also very competitive after joining the army.

But this boy named Lu was spoiled at home because he was the only child of the Lu family. He developed a lazy and gluttonous habit. After he grew up, he did not study well at home and made trouble everywhere. He either flirted with his wife, fought with others, or even gathered people to gamble. In short, this boy was a bad seed.

Later, Mr. Lu saw that his son was fooling around in the local area and might cause trouble, so he tried to get him into the army, hoping that the boy would be more restrained in the army. It just so happened that the boy was assigned to Lao Liu's army.
