Zhang Hongmei laughed, "Why are you all asking this? I don't think there's anything wrong with being a bodyguard. I consider you all my friends."
"Madam, we all know this in our hearts. It's probably because we are all orphans."
"Don't overthink it, it was Liu Jingzhang who mentioned it to me."
Liang Dan shook her head. "I'm afraid his family won't accept it. He's already the vice mayor, and he'll only be promoted in the future."
"Okay, if we disregard external factors, do you think he's a good person?"
Liang Dan touched her brow slightly. "Madam, there's nothing wrong with her appearance, but I can't say anything else."
"Alright then, since you have concerns, why don't you come with me to his house? I don't know much about his mother, but his father is a very easy person to get along with."
Liang Dan had no objection; they would follow Madam wherever she went.
"I can take the photos from Liujiatun to get them developed. I think Erlengzi and Su Chen will definitely want to see their son. This way, it won't seem like I'm being deliberately obvious."
Liang Dan felt a warmth in her heart. Was this because he was afraid she would be embarrassed?
Lu Jing and the other two were together. Liu Jingzhang hadn't left yet; he hadn't been home for three years and was on a long vacation. The photo studio was also closed, so Zhang Hongmei went directly to his house.
As soon as I reached the door, before I even knocked, I heard a woman shout, "You're almost forty and still not married? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
"Mom, I'm only thirty-one."
"That's almost forty. Don't interrupt, when are you getting married?"
"I've taken a liking to a girl."
"Where is it from? Take me there quickly!"
"Mom, they might not even know."
"You spineless coward, why don't you let the girl know you like her?"
"Mom, please stop shouting. The whole neighborhood knows."
"So what if you know? You're so old and still unmarried, everyone in the neighborhood knows."
"Tell me quickly, which girl?"
"He is Zhang Hongmei's bodyguard."
"Is that so? They probably don't even like you."
Why don't you like me?
"You're too old."
"Mom, you don't mind this girl's job?"
"What's there to look down on? They're doing a legitimate job, what's there to despise?"
"But I know they must all be orphans."
"orphan?"
"Um."
"An orphan means she won't have a mother-in-law in the future. If I treat her well, she'll definitely treat me like her own mother, right?"
"It should be."
"Then I agree."
"What good is it if you agree? Zhang Hongmei is busy; I don't even know if she asked for me."
"Why don't you talk to the girl yourself?"
"I need to be able to find it too, right?"
"So, after you get married, will you not be able to see each other anymore?"
"No, Zhang Hongmei would never do that. Several of her bodyguards are married and are probably managing her business now, right? That should be the case. I only asked Song Zigan, but he didn't explain it clearly either."
"People younger than you are already married, when are you going to let me hold my grandson?"
"Mom, please don't hit me! I finally get to come back, and you hit me every day."
"I won't hit you anymore once you bring your daughter-in-law back to me. Honestly, you never give me a moment's peace."
Zhang Hongmei didn't knock on the door and quietly left; the three of them then got back into the car.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect Liu Jingzhang's mother to be so interesting. Well, his personality must be like that, he must have inherited it from his mother."
Liang Dan, you heard that too, what do you think?
"Madam, I like his mother."
"Haha, this works too?"
Lu Jing smiled, pursing her lips.
"Alright, in that case, let's go take a look."
The three got off the bus again, and this time they heard a man's voice again. It was basically a barrage of persuasion.
Lu Jing knocked on the door. Liu Jingzhang opened the door and saw the three of them; his eyes immediately lit up with a smile.
"Oh my, what a rare guest! Mom, come here quickly."
Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at Liu Jingzhang. Seeing the elderly couple approaching, she said, "Uncle, Aunt, sorry to bother you."
"Hehe, come inside and sit down quickly." Liu Jingzhang's father was particularly enthusiastic.
"Uncle, I've come to ask you to help me develop some photos. I took some when I went home a couple of days ago."
"Okay, I'll wash it for you today."
"No rush, no rush."
Liu Jingzhang's mother recognized Zhang Hongmei, and upon seeing Lu Jing and Liang Dan, she immediately and warmly took Liang Dan's hand.
"Girl, come in and sit down quickly."
Liang Dan felt the hands holding hers were especially warm. "Hello, Auntie!"
"Good, good, good, this girl is really lovely. Hongmei, come inside and sit down quickly."
Zhang Hongmei nodded with a smile.
Liu Jingzhang was always secretly watching Liang Dan, which Zhang Hongmei found quite amusing.
The old man held Liang Dan's hand tightly, not letting go. He glanced at Liang Dan, then at his son. They seemed perfectly matched. His smile deepened.
"Girl, how old are you?"
"I'm twenty-seven, ma'am."
"Twenty-seven? Thirty-one, four years short is just right."
"Girl, you don't have a boyfriend, do you?"
Liu Jingzhang coughed twice.
"You hurry up and develop the photos for Hongmei, there's nothing for you to do here."
"Mom, my friend is here, how can I not go with her?"
"I'll stay with you. Daughter, you haven't answered Auntie's question yet."
"Auntie, I don't have a boyfriend."
"Haha, that's great, honey. What do you think of my son? He's virtuous, hardworking, and 31 already, and still hasn't found a girlfriend. It's just the three of us in our family, how about that?"
Zhang Hongmei chuckled. This old lady is really capable; she managed to do everything by herself.
"Daughter, let me tell you, there are no unreliable people in my family. Everyone here lives a down-to-earth life. You definitely won't be mistreated if you marry into our family, really."
Liang Dan was stunned by the question. What was going on? How did it get to this point?
“Girl, don’t be shy. Liu Jingzhang, come here.”
Look at him, average-looking, tall, healthy, and most importantly, obedient. If he ever bullies you after you get married, I'll beat him up. Don't worry, I'll definitely be on your side.
Zhang Hongmei felt she had really endured too much; Liu Jingzhang's goofy personality really came from his mother.
"Auntie, we don't know each other yet."
"It's okay, you two should get to know each other quickly."
“Comrade Liang Dan, I am Liu Jingzhang. I am thirty-one years old this year. I have no bad habits. Just like my mother said, I am clean and virtuous. I work in T City now. My monthly salary is eighty-five yuan, plus a meal allowance of thirteen yuan.”
Zhang Hongmei burst out laughing; this family was hilarious.
Liu Jingzhang turned his head and glared at Zhang Hongmei, thinking to himself, "Are you trying to sabotage me?"
"Comrade Liang Dan, I sincerely want to become your revolutionary partner. Please consider it seriously."
