An Jingzhi was lazy and let Old Lady Zhu scold him.
"Mom, how can you say I didn't help? If Xiaohao hadn't had my help holding the sticks, would he have been able to build the kitchen?"
"Besides, I'm old now and need to start taking care of my body. Xiao Hao is still young and needs to be used more so that his health will improve."
Old Lady Zhu shook her head. "I'm too lazy to argue with you about these crooked theories. When you have free time, find a proper job. Don't be idle all day and take Xiao Hao around to do bad things."
"Okay." An Jingzhi agreed immediately.
Old Lady Zhu just gave some daily advice, but she didn't expect the other party to agree so immediately that she didn't even realize it.
Normally when she said this, the original owner would perfunctorily say that she was already looking for something like this, or would never admit that she was idle, instead of agreeing so cleanly and neatly.
"You, what did you just say?"
An Jingzhi looked at Old Lady Zhu steadily and said seriously, "Mom, I said yes. I promised you that I would help Xiaohao find a proper job. We have already found one."
Old Lady Zhu frowned and said, "Don't try to scare me. Tell me what kind of job you want."
An Wuhao just brought the meal over and interrupted their conversation, "It's ready, you can eat now."
He held a rice cooker under his armpits, a plate of food in each hand, and chopsticks around his neck.
Old Lady Zhu helped him take the rice cooker, muttering as she did so, "Silly boy, can't you just scoop out the rice and bring it over?"
This rice cooker was picked up by Old Lady Zhu when she was collecting trash. After she knocked it around a bit, it actually worked again.
It’s just that the quality is sometimes good and sometimes not, and sometimes the rice is half-cooked.
An Wuhao usually uses it when cooking.
After the rice cooker was taken away, An Wuhao's hands became more flexible. He placed the two plates of food on the table, put down the chopsticks around his neck, and took out three bowls from his pocket.
Arrange them one by one on the folding coffee table.
While eating, Mrs. Zhu asked, "Tell me quickly, what is this serious job you just mentioned to me? Xiaohao, tell me."
Old Mrs. Zhu stopped An Jingzhi from speaking and pointed at An Wuhao and asked him to speak.
An Wuhao looked at An Jingzhi, then at Old Lady Zhu, not knowing whether he should speak.
"Why are you looking at me? Just tell your grandma if she asks you." An Jingzhi buried his head in his meal.
You know what, this guy’s cooking skills are really good.
"That's right, my dad and I are bodyguards for a boss."
Although An Wuhao is a little silly, he is not really stupid. He knows what can be said and what cannot be said.
"Why would they hire two punks like you as bodyguards when everything is fine?" Old Lady Zhu said mercilessly.
She knew very well what kind of people her sons and grandsons were. To put it nicely, they were vagrants, and to put it bluntly, they were gangsters. If it had happened a decade ago, they would have been shot.
"The boss is attracted by the abilities of my father and me. Look at your grandson, he's so big and fit, he's obviously suitable to be a bodyguard. Mom, look at me again," An Jingzhi put his face close to Mrs. Zhu, who pushed his face away in disgust.
"If you have something to say, please don't stay here for so long."
An Jingzhi chuckled and said, "I can tell he's a smart guy. Being a bodyguard requires not only fighting skills but also smartness. We are fully qualified for the job. It's only natural that they ask us to do the job. Besides, isn't being a bodyguard all about fighting? We know each other well."
Old Lady Zhu curled her lips, "You're quite proud? Xiaohao is a good child, but he's raised just like you, and he can't even find a wife."
"Then tell me, how much do they pay you per month?"
"Twenty thousand." An Wuhao blurted out without thinking.
Old Mrs. Zhu suddenly stopped eating with her chopsticks, her expression dull. An Jingzhi glared at An Wuhao and quickly checked on Old Mrs. Zhu's condition.
…
The car slowly stopped in front of Mrs. Zhu's house.
"Boss, this is it," said the driver.
Boss Liu took one look at the dilapidated shed and said, "Get out of the car."
The bodyguard got out of the car first, then opened Boss Liu's car handle and helped him get out of the car.
Before I got close, I heard an old lady's roar coming from inside.
"I'm gonna beat you to death, you bastard! You're getting worse and worse at lying. What 20,000? Tell me what kind of job you do that earns 20,000?! And you're a bodyguard! And you're helping people fight. Can you make that much money helping people fight?!"
"Stop! Don't run! I have to teach you a lesson today!"
"Mom! Mom, I really didn't lie to you! Can you please put down the broom first? Let's talk properly!"
"Grandma! Please stop hitting me and take care of yourself!"
This chaotic scene was what Boss Liu saw when he opened the door.
When Old Lady Zhu saw someone coming, she was holding a broom in her hand. She didn't know whether to hit him or not.
An Jingzhi was beaten by her and ran away with his head in his hands. He was squatting in the corner. The big man An Wuhao stood in front of An Jingzhi and took the beating for him.
It’s not that An Jingzhi didn’t want to run, but he was afraid that if he ran too fast, it would be troublesome if something happened to the old lady.
Seeing someone coming, Mrs. Zhu didn't dare to take any more action.
Seeing this group of people in suits and ties, Mrs. Zhu felt a little timid.
An Jingzhi was overjoyed and quickly stood up from the corner. "Boss Liu is here!" He walked a few steps closer to him. Before his bodyguard could react, he grabbed Boss Liu's arm and walked up to Mrs. Zhu. "Hurry up and explain to my mother whether you want me and my son to be bodyguards and pay us 20,000 yuan a month."
Boss Liu was shocked by the scene just now. Before he could come to his senses, he was pulled in front of the old lady.
He really couldn't imagine that someone who was capable of kidnapping was actually like this in private?
"Boss Liu, please stop being dazed and help me explain. My mother misunderstood." An Jingzhi pushed him.
Boss Liu recovered and took the two baskets of mooncakes from the bodyguard. He smiled at the old lady and said, "Yes, yes, Brother An is right. This is your first visit, so a small gift is not enough to show respect."
Seeing that the man was dressed in a suit and there was a car parked at the door, Old Lady Zhu believed what An Jingzhi said.
She used to think that her son and grandson were doing bad things because of her illness.
She felt that she was old and would not live for many more years anyway, so if she died, she would die, and she would not be a burden to her grandson and son.
If her grandson or son were to take risks and do something bad because of her illness, she would rather die now.
She refused embarrassedly, "Since you're here, why would you give me a gift? No, no, no."
"Yes, yes. How can you come to my house empty-handed for the first time?" Boss Liu said as he walked straight into her room and put down the gift.
Afterwards, several people sat in the room, and Boss Liu briefly explained the situation. Only then did Mrs. Zhu completely believe that her son and grandson had really found a decent job.
"Isn't this 20,000 yuan too much?" Mrs. Zhu's life savings did not exceed two hundred yuan. 20,000 yuan was really a fantasy for her.
