After much deliberation, he still felt that Mo Lan wanted to help their family.
Even after he brought her to his father, Zhou Bo still held this belief.
After listening to Mo Lan's purpose and looking at his son's conflicted expression, Chief Escort Zhou pondered for a moment.
“Miss Mo Lan, since you are my son’s friend, I won’t hide it from you. Given our grudges with the Chen family, if you buy this house, I can’t guarantee that the Chen family won’t cause trouble in the future.”
"You don't need to worry about that, I can handle it myself."
Mo Lan wasn't used to other people's concern, so her tone was a bit stiff. She paused for a moment before speaking again.
"If you choose to stay, I can help you get rid of some trouble."
"No need, I'm too old and don't want to go through all that trouble. This house is destined to be sold."
Chief镖头 Zhou looked at Mo Lan's aloof expression and suddenly smiled, "Since you've taken a liking to this courtyard, I'll sell it to you."
He originally asked the broker to pay him no less than three hundred taels of silver, but after he conveyed his intention to Mo Lan, he was refused.
"I won't take advantage of you, and the Chen family is not even in my consideration. Just go for the market price."
In the end, Mo Lan settled the deal for four hundred taels of silver, with the extra amount serving as a form of compensation for the suffering they had endured during this period.
Only when the money and goods are exchanged completely will you feel at ease.
Both parties bought and sold the land, went directly to the government office to complete the formalities, and when they came out, Mo Lan had an extra land deed in her hand.
Zhou Bo followed Mo Lan, hesitating to speak several times, until Mo Lan couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Just say what you need to say."
"Are you sure you want to open a security escort agency?"
"Um,"
"Can I work for you?"
"You want to apply for the job of a bodyguard?" Mo Lan looked at Zhou Bo's flushed face, then at the equally surprised Chief Bodyguard Zhou, and asked again for confirmation.
"I guess so. I don't want to go back to my hometown to farm. I want to continue following you as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort). Don't worry, I will definitely do my best," Zhou Bo said, raising his hand to swear.
Chief镖头 Zhou looked at his son with a complicated expression, "Bo'er, aren't you coming home with your father?"
"Dad, the family won't be affected by my presence or absence. I want to try my best again." Zhou Bo looked at his father apologetically, his eyes slightly red.
"Sigh, if you want to gain more experience, that's fine too. Do as you please." Chief镖头 Zhou sighed and left with his hands behind his back.
Mo Lan had no complaints about Zhou Bo's character.
"I have to go home for a while. You stay here and look after the house. You can also say goodbye to your father. I'll be there as soon as possible."
"No problem, I'll take care of guarding the house."
Zhou Bo made a solemn promise at this moment, but little did he know that his decision today would directly lead him into the clutches of bandits.
As Mo Lan walked out of the city gate of Ye County, she arrived at the agreed location and saw the shop assistants from the grain store and cloth store pushing carts towards her.
"Young lady, the seeds have been delivered in full. Please take a look."
"Young lady, here is the fabric you bought. Please take a look."
"Just unload it under that pine tree," Mo Lan pointed to the large pine tree beside her, indicating.
"Miss, you bought a lot of things, so it's actually possible to have them delivered to your door."
Following the shopkeeper's suggestion, the waiter spoke up solicitously, saying that such a big customer would surely bring many benefits in the future if they could maintain a long-term relationship with him.
"No need for now, family members will pick us up and drop us off." Mo Lan smiled knowingly. Anyway, she had bought a courtyard, so she wouldn't need to send them off anymore.
