Chapter 2318 Wang Baochang's reputation is well-deserved.
Vika frowned immediately upon hearing this. What do you mean by "saw a living person"? I was perfectly fine! Are you cursing me?
At this moment, everyone noticed that Vika's cheerful expression turned serious, and Wang Mazi hurriedly stepped forward to explain for Liu Erpang.
"Comrade Vic... no, no, not Comrade Vika. Old Liu meant that we only hear your voice on the radio every day. Now that we've finally met you in person, we're all very happy..."
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant. Comrade Vika, please don't misunderstand..."
At this moment, Vika's expression finally softened; the kid had genuinely thought the other party was cursing him.
If it weren't for Wang Mazi's intervention, Xu Quede and He Dashan would have just been waiting to see the spectacle. These people were hoping for the Liu family's downfall; they wouldn't have helped Liu Haizhong at all.
Since Liu Haizhong's family usually takes good care of Wang Mazi's family, Old Wang will definitely step in to smooth things over.
Now, everyone in the compound shook hands with Vika and introduced themselves, especially that old rascal Qiao Buwang. While introducing himself, he even brought up his eldest son Qiao Yicheng's studies in Moscow to show off.
Seeing Qiao Buwang's expression, which resembled that of a lapdog, everyone had a new question.
Sha Zhu and the others initially thought Vika was an old man or middle-aged man, but now that they've met him, they realize he's a young, unmarried man. This is where things get interesting...
I didn't think anything was wrong before, but every time a bachelor comes to the courtyard house these past few years, something strange always happens! I wonder if Vika will repeat everyone's mistakes.
However, while some people are worried, others are happy. That bastard Qiao Buwang actually had a brilliant idea to introduce Sanli and Vika together.
That old bastard's got some nerve! Leaving aside what Lin Chen will do to him when he finds out, he can't even get through to Sanli. Sanli and Simei are already part of the Lin family. Even thinking about it is a sin...
Seeing that it was almost time, Liu Haizhong began to disperse the crowd.
"That's all for today, everyone go home! There's a long road ahead, and we'll gradually become close friends with Comrade Vika."
As dusk settled, everyone had been busy all day. Now that they had each gotten a free cigarette, it was time to go home and help their wives take care of the children and cook.
Liu Haizhong then took Wang Mazi back to his home for a drink. He hadn't expected that the foreigner from earlier would know so much.
"Come on, come on, Lao Wang, let's go to my house for a drink. Thanks to you just now, that little blondie was no match for you."
Wang Mazi didn't like Vika either; his first impression of him was bad. He had a feeling the other man wasn't a good person...
Wang Baochang's reputation wasn't undeserved; the old man had seen countless people in his life. What kind of people and situations hadn't he encountered?
No one knows what the old man means. But Wang Mazi feels that Brother Lin definitely wasn't trying to protect this kid...
As soon as the two arrived at the Liu family's door, Wang Mazi lowered his voice.
"Alright! I happen to have something to discuss with you. Brother Lin knows the customs and traditions of our courtyard. But they deliberately put this person in the west courtyard. I feel that he must be someone special."
Now, Bai Ling and Liao Yimei have moved out of the West Courtyard, leaving only Zhao Lichun, Zhong Zhengguo, Little Monkey, Sun Shaoan, the two little girls brought by Third Aunt, and Chen Yanshi and his wife.
Wang Baochang had spent most of his life in Longyin Township and had seen far more ups and downs than the people in the courtyard! He was simply incomparable to the people in the courtyard. After hearing what he said, Liu Haizhong suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Hiss, Old Wang, you're right! Brother Lin couldn't possibly not know that a Muscovite has been assigned to our courtyard house. Come on, let's have a drink and chat."
Liu Haizhong now realized that this guy might have been deliberately brought here by Brother Lin. If what Old Wang said was true, he should stay away from this kid in the future.
Most people in the compound are now trying to curry favor with Vika, after all, they all want to get something out of their big brother.
Now, after being reminded by Wang Mazi, Erpang immediately abandoned his idea of winning over Vika.
Just then, Aunt Er saw her husband bring Wang Mazi back, and the two seemed to be whispering to each other. So she came straight from the kitchen...
"Old Liu, you're finally back! You've met those foreigners from the West Wing, haven't you? Let me tell you, Huai Ru said they're sleazy and no good. She reminded me to tell the women to be careful..."
The two old guys were nearly speechless with shock; they had just been talking about it. And they were fucking right!
"Huai Ru has seen him! Is that bastard after her? Damn it, go get Dong Xu and Shao An! I'm going to teach him a lesson..."
At this moment, Wang Mazi also got up, and this was going to be a big deal! After all, Qin Huairu had said so, so there was no need to hesitate.
When the second aunt saw that her husband was about to get angry, she immediately stopped him.
"Wait, wait... let me finish! Huai Ru didn't see Vika, Su Chunmei told her that. So she asked me to tell the women in the courtyard that it's the responsibility of an older woman to protect the safety of women!"
Liu Haizhong almost kicked his wife. Couldn't you just say what you mean? He thought the foreigner had ulterior motives towards Qin Huairu…
"Can't you just say it all at once? You gave me a real fright."
Now that they had received a message from Aunt Erda, Liu Haizhong and Wang Mazi were even more certain of their judgment.
"Huai Ru was just reminding the women to be careful. She said that they shouldn't falsely accuse someone unless they were absolutely sure. It's possible that Su Chunmei is just being paranoid, so it's best to observe first."
Lin Chen had already planned that his woman would go to the courtyard house during the day and eat and stay at the apartment across the street at night. This perfectly avoided clashing with Vika's schedule, preventing them from even seeing each other now.
Otherwise, Lin Chen wouldn't have arranged for Vika to live in the West Wing. As for Old Qiao's thoughts, Lin Chen had already anticipated them. After all, even without Vika, Old Qiao would have wanted to use his daughter as a stepping stone.
Daughters grow up and leave home; Sanli and Simei will get married sooner or later. Especially Sanli now, she's completely different from before.
After gaining the ability to erase memories, Lin Chen's first use was on her. Her childhood memories were long gone, and Sanli returned to being a lively and cheerful young woman.
No matter how Qiao Buwang plans to arrange his daughter's future, it's not up to him now. Sanli and Simei were raised by their eldest brother Qiao Yicheng a long time ago, it's all clearly written down in black and white, so Qiao Buwang is nothing.
The reason we made them sign and put their fingerprints back then was to prevent future disputes that would leave no evidence.
Qiao Yicheng had already tacitly accepted that Uncle Lin could take good care of his two younger sisters, so Qiao Buwang had no say in the matter!
"Old Liu, let's observe him first. If we find he's up to no good, we'll take him down immediately."
Liu Haizhong nodded in agreement. Let alone someone from Moscow, even if the Emperor himself came to the courtyard, he'd have to listen to Brother Lin…
"Okay, I'll have Shao'an keep an eye on him every night."
