Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Chapter 602 Yu Haitang's Retribution

As for Xu Damao, although many people said that Xu Damao was Li Huaide's lackey, Director Yang did not target Xu Damao, because Sha Zhu told him that Lin Geng and Xu Damao were both his buddies, and they were not really Li Huaide's lackeys. They did not help Li Huaide to step on the fallen factory leaders like them when they were down and out, and they had never done any dirty work for Li Huaide. They just did it to make a living.

So after the storm stopped, Xu Damao landed safely and did not suffer any purge. He continued to serve as deputy section chief in the Propaganda Department. When Li Huaide fell, this guy immediately attached himself to Director Yang and took the initiative to report his work and thoughts to Director Yang. He stated that he would follow Director Yang's lead in the future, be a brick of the revolution, move wherever needed, and serve Director Yang and the newly appointed factory leadership team well.

Xu Damao is essentially a villain, and everyone knows that. However, it is precisely this kind of villain who is often very successful. He has good judgment, is sweet-talker and can get things done. Even if he is not valued, he can still thrive in a certain circle.

Therefore, after the wind stopped, the three buddies, Sha Zhu, Lin Geng and Xu Damao, continued to do very well in the factory. They were all busy with their own work. Director Yang and a group of newly appointed leaders did not bother them, and they continued to live a very comfortable life.

By the way, Yu Li's sister Yu Haitang was the one who had been having fun with Li Huaide's men after the storm. She was a well-known rebel leader in the factory. She once tried to drag Lin Geng into the rebellion, but after being rejected, she became furious and hurled abuses at Lin Geng.

As a result, Yu Li slapped her in the face without any hesitation, and also complained about her to her father and mother. Then Yu's father beat her severely with a broom. No matter whether she was convinced or not, she became more obedient. In the next few years, she did not dare to provoke Lin Geng and his wife again. Within two years after the storm, she married the son of a leader.

However, after getting married, Yu Haitang did not settle down and was still jumping around everywhere. The relationship between the couple has never been very good. Over the years, although Yu Haitang gave birth to a child, family relationships have always been bad. She looked down on her husband and always felt that her husband was cowardly, hesitant, cautious and unmanly.

As a result, just before the wind stopped, Yu Haitang was caught by her husband. She had secretly had an affair with a rebel leader. Her husband caught them in bed, beat her up, and divorced her.

The fact that Yu Haitang had an affair with a wild man became a laughing stock of the steel mill, which made Yu Haitang very embarrassed. She was pointed at everywhere and could not hold her head up. Li Huaide also couldn't stand this woman and felt that continuing to let her be an announcer would bring shame to the steel mill, so he took away her job as an announcer and sent her to the workshop to be an ordinary worker.

Yu Haitang became much more obedient now. She was criticized in the workshop all day long. After her divorce, her child didn't stay with her, so she had to go home. After returning home, Yu's father and mother looked down on her every day. They felt that she had brought shame to the Yu family and called her a bitch at every turn.

People in this era attach great importance to reputation, especially women. Once their reputation is ruined, life will be difficult. After divorce, no one will be willing to find another man, unless they find an old, ugly or disabled man. Otherwise, no one will be willing to marry them.

Once Yu Haitang became notorious, her life became difficult. She was pointed at wherever she went, and some women even called her a shameless bitch to her face. Yu Haitang had quarrels and even fights with others because of this, but she would immediately be attacked by other women. She could not win the quarrel or the fight, and could no longer be arrogant.

Yu Haitang cried all day long under such circumstances and could not bear it any longer. She remembered that Lin Geng had many connections, so she went to Lin Geng and Yu Li for help.

Yu Li looked at the sister who was now covered in dirt and no longer as arrogant as she used to be, and she felt pity for her. She finally discussed with Lin Geng and asked him to help Yu Haitang. Otherwise, if this continued, Yu Haitang might be forced into a desperate situation one day. After all, she was her sister, and she could not sit idly by and watch Yu Haitang being forced to death.

Of course Lin Geng knew that Yu Haitang was actually quite strong inside. In the original drama, she had an emotional entanglement with Sha Zhu for a period of time, but later she could not resist the green tea bitch Qin Huairu who pestered Sha Zhu, and she and Sha Zhu could not be together. Later she got married and divorced. It seemed that she also had an affair with Xu Damao. After the reform and opening up, she started some small business on her own, but her life was not good.

This woman is very materialistic, she is arrogant, she looks down on this and that, and she also likes to be in the spotlight. In this life, she has never had any emotional entanglement with Sha Zhu, nor has anything happened between her and Xu Damao, but she has annoyed Lin Geng a lot.

Lin even believed that even if Yu Haitang was having a hard time now, given her personality, she would not commit suicide easily. He was too lazy to care about her and wanted to let Yu Haitang suffer a lot so that she would change her personality.

But since Yu Li had begged him, Lin Geng couldn't refuse his wife's face, so he used his connections to transfer Yu Haitang out of the steel rolling mill and found her a job in a factory far away on the other side of the city.

After Yu Haitang was taken to the factory that Lin Geng arranged for her, she looked at Lin Geng with tears in her eyes and said to him, "Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Lin Geng glanced at her unhappily and said to her, "Work hard here and don't mess around anymore. Just do your job honestly. What's past is past. As time goes by, people will naturally forget about your past! You are still young and you still have a chance to start over!"

Yu Haitang was really hit hard this time. She nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Okay, I understand! I'll listen to you! I'll work hard in the future!"

Lin Geng was a little surprised by Yu Haitang's attitude, but he still sighed, thought for a while, dug into his pocket, took out a wad of money and handed it to Yu Haitang, and said unhappily: "If you were not your sister's biological sister, I would not bother to care about you! I asked the factory to arrange a room for you. Take this money and buy some daily necessities. If you have any problems, come to your sister. Your sister only has you as her sister, she will not ignore you! That's it! You work hard! I'm leaving!"

After saying that, Lin Geng stuffed the money into Yu Haitang's pocket and turned to walk away. Yu Haitang, holding the stack of money, suddenly burst into tears.
