Ch 319: The Four Siblings Of Fangua Lane
“Brother Sanhe, your house is really big!”
“Shan He, your house is really impressive!”
A Da and A Di followed Zhao Jiu’s Ford Car to Lin Mansion, like Liu Laolao entering Grand View Garden, both envious and amazed.
If they had truly been to Liu Wei’s Mansion, they would probably have been completely shocked.
At this time, the servant Wu Xiu hurriedly entered the living room.
Lin Chen quickly introduced A Da and A Di.
Wu Xiu first greeted them, then said to Lin Chen, “Mr. Lin, two gentlemen came to the mansion looking for you today!”
“Hmm?”
Lin Chen actually knew what was going on.
Ever since he helped the Yu Family’s cargo ship obtain all the customs clearance procedures from Military Police Headquarters, he had become a hot commodity in the eyes of those businessmen who wanted to obtain passes.
It was certain that people would come to visit him to ask him to get passes.
Wu Xiu said, “One is Mr. Zhu from the Zhu Family in Shanghai, one is Mr. Liu from the Liu Family, and another is Fourth Master Hou from the Qing Gang.”
“They said to have you call them back.”
Lin Chen nodded and replied, “I understand, did anyone call me on the telephone today?”
Wu Xiu replied, “Yes, as per Mr. Lin’s request, I didn’t answer any calls.”
“Hmm.”
Lin Chen responded, then gestured to Wu Xiu, “Wu Ma, remember that there will be four more people eating at home from now on, pay attention when you cook and buy groceries.”
“Okay.”
After Wu Xiu left, Lin Chen showed a satisfied expression.
Qi Tai’s recommendation was indeed reliable.
He was certain that Wu Xiu hadn’t lied to him.
Wu Xiu should also understand that as long as he went to the telephone office and checked the Lin Mansion’s landline call records for today, he would know whether Wu Xiu had lied.
Therefore, it was completely unnecessary for Wu Xiu to lie to him.
As for the three people who came to see him, Lin Chen didn’t bother to care.
Anyway, the people who came to see him were asking for favors from him, not the other way around.
The less he cared, the more anxious the other party would be, and the faster his more than forty thousand counterfeit yen would be paid.
Now his main task was to secure the A Siblings.
“A Da, A Di, come and sit.”
Lin Chen watched A Da and A Di, who were somewhat reserved, beckoned them over, and took out cigarettes, giving one to each of them.
“How is my house?”
Smoking, Lin Chen asked with a smile.
A Di was excited, “Impressive and luxurious! It’s a million times better than the hutong residence where my brother, A Mei, and I live!”
A Da chuckled and said, “Shan He is still Shan He. Every time he makes a move, he makes us three siblings envious.”
Lin Chen shook his head and calmly said, “Envious of what? This is your home too!”
Hearing this, A Da and A Di were both startled, “Our home?”
“Forgot?”
Lin Chen smiled, “In the past winter, the four of us huddled together in a pile of cotton and straw to keep each other warm while sleeping. Have you two forgotten what I said?”
Immediately, A Da and A Di stared blankly at Lin Chen, then their eyes reddened.
They remembered Wang Shanhe’s boast, “When I make money, I will definitely buy you three a big house, three new cotton quilts in winter, and let you eat potstickers, crab shell yellow cakes, and scallion pancakes until you throw up every day.”
New cotton quilts were warm, and at that time, the delicious food in their hearts wasn’t some mountain delicacies, but the snacks they couldn’t afford at the time.
This was the most beautiful wish of four teenagers eleven years ago!
A Di movedly asked, “Brother Shanhe, you still remember?”
Lin Chen nodded, “Duh!”
The harder the days were, the deeper the memories.
Ding ding ding~
At this time, the grandfather clock in the living room chimed, and the hour hand pointed to five o’clock.
A Da and A Di looked at the time, and their faces twitched.
“Oh no!”
A Da walked out anxiously, “Meeting Shan He made us forget to pick up A Mei!”
A Di nervously followed his brother.
A Mei had quite a temper!
Lin Chen hurriedly chased after them and asked, “Doesn’t Peicheng Girls’ School allow boarding?”
A Di hurriedly replied, “Yes!”
A Da said as he walked outside, “Actually, she could board, the team leader paid for boarding, but A Mei didn’t want to, she insisted on commuting to Peicheng Girls’ School every day.”
Lin Chen understood, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he signaled Zhao Jiu to drive.
Peicheng Girls’ School wasn’t far from Lin Mansion; five people in one car was just right.
Arriving at Peicheng Girls’ School, small cars were already picking up the rich girls who had finished school.
Peicheng Girls’ School was different from St. Mary’s Girls’ School.
St. Mary’s Girls’ School was mandatory boarding, returning home once a week, so many of the rich second-generation girls studying there lived in the school with their servants.
Peicheng Girls’ School’s management was more open, it was more comfortable to go home, which was naturally the first choice for the rich girls studying there.
Originally, Lin Chen, A Da, and A Di had set off relatively late, and Lin Chen had packed potstickers, crab shell yellow cakes, and scallion pancakes on the way.
Arriving at Peicheng Girls’ School, the students who were going home had already left, only A Mei was looking around resentfully.
A Mei didn’t notice at first that the Ford car driving towards her had her two brothers and a Wang Shanhe she hadn’t seen in eleven years.
“Humph, so what if you have money?!”
A Mei snorted at the approaching Ford car, “If a traitorous secret agent falls into my hands, I’ll kill all of you!”
When the Ford car stopped in front of her, A Mei was surprised to find that her older brother and second brother were getting out of the car.
And a handsome young man whose memory was becoming increasingly blurred…
“Whoa, whoa!”
A Mei’s memory became increasingly clearer, because the handsome young man in her memory was standing between her two brothers, holding potstickers, crab shell yellow cakes, and scallion pancakes and smiling at her.
“Wang Shanhe!”
A Mei pointed at Wang Shanhe and shrieked, “Are you a human or a ghost!”
Since she was a child, unlike her older brother A Da who called him “Shan He,” and unlike her younger brother who called him “Brother Shanhe,”
She called him by his full name, “Wang Shanhe!”
“Don’t be disrespectful, I even prepared you a set of potstickers, crab shell yellow cakes, and scallion pancakes!”
Just like in his original owner’s memory, Lin Chen raised his free hand and flicked A Mei’s forehead.
A Mei, who didn’t dodge, covered her slightly aching forehead and said huffily, “You have a conscience, you still remembered to buy me a set of potstickers, crab shell yellow cakes, and scallion pancakes after you became rich.”
For a girl like her who came from Zhabei Fangua Lane, jewelry was not as precious as potstickers, crab shell yellow cakes, and scallion pancakes.
A Da and A Di just kept laughing.
They all remembered Wang Shanhe’s boastful words back then!
Lin Chen said, “And a big house, three thick new cotton quilts.”
A Mei was a little surprised, while eating the potsticker in her hand, she looked at the Ford car behind Lin Chen, “Wang Shanhe, you really became rich?”
Lin Chen smiled, “If I wasn’t rich, what would I buy potstickers, crab shell yellow cakes, and scallion pancakes for?”
Tears welled up in A Mei’s eyes, and she mumbled, “No, I want to live in the big house Wang Shanhe bought, I also want three new cotton quilts, and I want to eat potstickers, crab shell yellow cakes, and scallion pancakes until I throw up every day!”
“Okay!”
Lin Chen nodded, his expression very affirmative.
