Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Chapter 337: Finding a Wife for Sha Zhu

After Lin Geng left the city, he didn't go to the mountains at all. At this moment, many places in the mountains had not melted the heavy snow that had fallen some time ago. It was not easy to go into the mountains now, and it was very easy to get lost. If he encountered heavy snow, even if he had a small world and could hide in the small world to save his life, he would be stuck in the mountains and unable to get out.

Also, after a heavy snowfall, it becomes hard to find wild boars in the mountains. If you venture into the mountains to hunt wild boars at this time, you will definitely be in trouble.

So after he left the city, he went straight to Zhaojia Village.

In the past few months, Lin Geng went to Zhaojia Village almost every month. One purpose was to buy the prey they caught or the mountain products they collected in the mountains. The other was to send them some things they had always dreamed of, such as cloth, needles and thread, salt, flashlights, batteries, matches and other daily necessities. In addition, he would always bring them some candy for the children to eat.

Lin Geng bought the mountain products from Zhaojia Village at a fair price and he also went door-to-door to buy. The people of Zhaojia Village were very grateful to Lin Geng. Not only were they willing to sell what they got to Lin Geng, they also spread the news of Lin Geng to several villages in the nearby mountains by visiting relatives and friends.

After hearing about it, several mountain villages around Zhaojia Village also hoped that Lin Geng would come to buy their mountain products. In the past two or three months, Lin Geng visited these villages and bought quite a lot of mountain products. The villagers in these villages trusted Lin Geng very much and were very enthusiastic about him. They all hoped that Lin Geng could visit their villages more often.

Lin Geng did not let them down. When he often went to the countryside, he would visit their area. In addition to purchasing their things, he would also write down some things they urgently needed. After returning to the city, he would find ways to purchase them, and then deliver them to them the next time he went there.

The New Year was approaching, and Lin Geng had already prepared some things that Zhaojia Village urgently needed. However, it snowed a few days ago and the roads were blocked by the snow, so the preparations were delayed for some time.

The weather has been good these past few days, and the snow on the roads has melted, so we can barely get out of the city. Even if we don't want to get meat for the street office and the police station, Lin Geng still has to make this trip out of the city.

When Lin Gen rode his tricycle to the mountain road leading to Zhaojia Village, he saw a scene that almost made him burst into tears on the spot, because this mountain road, which was originally bumpy, narrow and difficult to walk on, had been paved with gravel at some point, and even the snow had been cleared away.

Lin Geng didn't even need to think about it. These people must be from Zhaojia Village. In order to make it easier for Lin Geng to get to their village, they carried things on their shoulders and used simple tools to widen and pave the small mountain road. After it snowed, they specially organized people to clear the snow on the road.

This was just to make it easier for him to go into the mountains alone. The old and young, men and women from the whole village worked together to repair this bumpy and narrow mountain road bit by bit, as hard as ants gnawing at a bone.

How could Lin not be moved? So he immediately rode his tricycle into the mountains. Not long after he went, he keenly felt that there seemed to be someone in the leeward side of the bend ahead. Looking far away, he found several villagers from Zhaojia Village, crowded in a small cave beside the mountain road, roasting a fire.

Lin Geng hurriedly waved his hand quietly, and a pile of various things immediately appeared in the tricycle's cargo box. Then he got off the tricycle, pulling the tricycle, which had suddenly become much heavier, and moved forward along the mountain road.

Not long after he walked, several villagers from Zhaojia Village who were hiding in a cave on the hill and warming themselves by a fire spotted him. They cheered and hurried down the hill to meet him.

Several villagers from Zhaojia Village greeted Lin Geng with big smiles on their faces. When they saw that the bucket of Lin Geng's tricycle was filled with all kinds of things brought to their village, they were overjoyed. They pushed Lin Geng out of the way and helped him push the tricycle. They chatted with him with laughter all the way and welcomed him into the village like the moon surrounded by stars.

Before Lin Geng entered the village, the villagers got the news. Village chief Zhao happily led the villagers out of the village and warmly welcomed Lin Geng into the village.

Now that Lin Geng has arrived in Zhaojia Village or several surrounding mountain villages, he has received absolutely the best treatment. The village chief and the village party secretary would ask the villagers to take out their best things to entertain Lin Geng. Some villages even wanted to arrange a young girl to warm Lin Geng's bed at night, which scared Lin Geng a lot.

Lin Geng also knew that the village chiefs of these villages all wanted to give the girls in their villages to Lin Geng so that they could leave the mountain villages and enjoy life in the city. They could also establish a closer relationship with Lin Geng and let Lin Geng take better care of their villages in the future.

Fortunately, Lin Geng was not a pervert and rejected their ideas outright. Otherwise, he would have been able to leave seeds everywhere and sleep with many young girls and wives in the village. In this way, who knows how much debt of love he would have owed.

Actually, Lin had another purpose for coming to Zhaojia Village this time, which was to introduce a wife to Sha Zhu.

There was a 19-year-old girl in Zhaojia Village. She was graceful and had a fierce personality. Her name was Zhao Erya. Her name was not very nice, but she was quite good-looking. Even though she was not as charming as Qin Huairu, she was not much inferior to her.

Zhao Erya is considered to be the niece of Village Chief Zhao. Her parents died a few years ago due to illness and malnutrition, leaving behind Zhao Erya and her thirteen-year-old brother. After her parents passed away, Zhao Erya took on the task of supporting her brother and was very capable.

Considering her age, in the mountainous areas of that era, many girls got married at the age of 17 or 18. Although it did not comply with the policy, the worst that could happen was that they would not get a marriage certificate first.

In the past two years, many people have proposed matchmaking to Zhao Erya, but Zhao Erya made a request that she want to take her own younger brother with her and raise him, so many families backed out.

The mountain was really poor at that time! One more child aged 13 or 14 meant one more mouth to feed, and one that was particularly hungry. Most families simply couldn't afford to have two more mouths to feed, so Zhao Erya never got married.

After Lin Geng came to Zhaojia Village several times, he got to know Zhao Erya. He didn't like girls like Zhao Erya, but he felt that it would be a good idea to introduce her to Sha Zhu.

Now, ever since Sha Zhu got rid of the blood-sucking leech Qin Huairu under his instigation, he has been living a pretty comfortable life.

In addition, He Daqing also returned to the old city and found a job as a chef. The monthly income of the two of them, plus the income from privately preparing banquets for others, was nearly 100 yuan, which was enough to support He Yushui. This income was definitely considered high-income in the city.

In addition, Lin Geng often went to the He family to share meals, and the food he took out was enough for two or three people to eat. From time to time, he would also take out some pheasants and rabbits and ask Sha Zhu or He Daqing to prepare them and eat together. Therefore, even if there were two more people, it was nothing to the He family now.

The key point is that during this period, since Qin Huairu killed Yi Zhonghai, she completely lost her support, so she began to try to hook up with Sha Zhu again.

This kid Sha Zhu did have a special feeling for Qin Huairu. Although under the repeated reminders and surveillance of Lin Geng and He Daqing, he was no longer bewitched by Qin Huairu and became Qin Huairu's bootlicker again, but Lin Geng still saw the special feelings in Sha Zhu's eyes when he saw Qin Huairu.

Therefore, Lin Geng felt it was necessary to find a wife for Sha Zhu as soon as possible, otherwise this idiot might be infatuated by Qin Huairu's tea art one day and turn into a bootlicker again.
