Aunt Juan initially said she couldn't go, but she couldn't persuade Ah Qing, and with Mei Yueqin speaking up beside her, she nodded in agreement.
Ah Qing happily twisted and turned on the stool.
Wu An smiled but remained silent.
If we go out like this tomorrow, it will look like a big family.
We've eaten.
Wu An brewed a pot of tea and had his elder brother and sister-in-law chat with him while he drank tea. He then took A Qing out the door and headed straight for the Luo family.
He kept instructing Aqing along the way.
Knock on the door.
It was Aunt Ji Hua, A Qing, who opened the door, looking surprised: "Wu An, what brings you here at this hour?"
"I heard that you asked Aqing to intercede for Luo You and Luo Liang to work on my ship. Aqing is my younger brother, and I take this very seriously. I have decided to come and investigate in person."
"Yes, yes, please come in."
Wu An entered.
"Ah Qing, can't you be a little more sensible? Hurry up and get a stool for Ah An to sit on."
Ah Qing snorted.
To outsiders, it seemed as if his aunt didn't treat him like an outsider, and that he was being given orders by family.
But he knew that his aunt just liked to boss him around.
"Stop fussing, where are the two brothers?"
Ji Hua said, "Inside the house, they said they were going to the county to play, but they encountered a madman who broke their arms and legs."
"But it's nothing serious, it will get better after a while."
"In the east room, I'll take you there."
Wu An nodded.
As Ji Hua walked, he said, "I know you and A-Qiang are as close as brothers."
"Luo You and Luo Liang are A Qing's cousins. If we round it up, then we're practically family."
“We know you earn a lot on your voyages. Money can be tempting, and if an outsider has malicious intentions, it could be fatal.”
"Nothing is as reliable and trustworthy as something used by our own people. Don't you agree, Grandma?"
Wu An ignored him.
Ji Hua felt a little embarrassed, inwardly cursing Wu An for putting on airs just because he had some money, as he hadn't even greeted him since entering the room.
He cursed inwardly but smiled outwardly: "The room smells of medicine, it must be unpleasant."
Wu An entered the room and said, "We men are talking, so you shouldn't be here."
Ji Hua smiled and nodded, then turned and left.
Wu An asked A Qing to close the door.
The room was not small, with two beds, a wardrobe, and a table, but it looked messy.
The Luo brothers, Luo You and Luo Liang, were playing on their phones when they saw Wu An walk in. They greeted him with smiles, "An, you're here."
"It's for our work on the ship, isn't it?"
"You're too kind. You came all the way here to invite us. You could have just made a phone call."
"As you can see, my brother and I can't go for the time being."
"I estimate I'll need to rest for two or three months."
Luo Liang, all smiles, completely ignored A Qing following behind him and said shamelessly, "A An, we can't work now, but once we're better, we'll be excellent workers."
"So, we'd like to make a deal with you. Could you please advance us two or three months' worth of our salaries?"
"Don't worry, we can sign a contract first. We will definitely not take the money and not do the work."
Luo Youdian nodded and said, "Yes, we're only two or three years older than you. Actually, we've been childhood friends since we were little. We'll be grateful for your help and will work hard for you in the future."
Wu An smiled.
I was so angry at the two of them that I laughed.
never mind.
These two are so shameless, but you can't blame them. Like father, like son. If their parents are like this, how can you expect the next generation to be any better?
It's not uncommon for bad bamboo to produce good shoots, but these two are clearly from the same lineage.
There's no point in wasting words with these two.
He asked Aqing to turn on his phone camera.
"Luo You, Luo Liang, you two haven't forgotten about beating up A Qing at the gas station a few days ago, have you?"
“You two, kneel down and apologize to him, and slap yourselves a dozen times. That will settle the score.”
"If you two behave well, we can continue to talk about working on my ship."
Luo Liang was taken aback, then sneered, "So you're here to stand up for him."
"You want us to kneel down and apologize to him?"
"Ask this little brat if he can handle it."
"If I weren't in a hurry right now, believe me, I'd slap you a few times across the face."
Wu An pointed to the ground and said, "Do as I say right now, and things will be settled."
"Wu An, what are you pretending for!" Luo Liang raised his perfectly good hand and shouted, "I used to beat you a lot when we were kids, remember? Remember?"
Wu An stared at him for a while, then looked at Luo You: "And you?"
Luo You, being slightly older and more composed, said coldly, "Wu An, this isn't how things are discussed."
“What you’re doing isn’t good for you either, neither of us brothers.”
Wu An turned around: "We can't reach an agreement."
Aqing nodded, then suddenly screamed and abruptly pointed the camera at the ceiling.
Then, the screaming continued.
"Brother, don't hit him."
"Stop hitting him."
"Ouch, that hurts so much!"
Ah Qing's screams were exaggerated, but it didn't matter. Anyway, the camera couldn't capture his expression and movements. It was hard to tell if it was real or fake just from the sound.
Luo Liang and Luo You were stunned, looking at A Qing in confusion, and even cursed, "You idiots, what are you doing?"
The next moment.
Wu An jumped up and attacked.
While fighting, they shouted, "Hey, you dared to strike first!"
"Ouch."
"Hurry and make your move!"
"If you don't stop, I won't be polite."
Luo Liang and Luo You, covered their heads after being beaten, finally understood Wu An's plan.
They tried to fight back.
But it was all for naught.
Wu An followed the principle of "taking advantage of your weakness to kill you," specifically targeting his injured hands and feet.
The worst part is that the two of them were basically strapped to the bed, with nowhere to hide.
After playing for a while, Wu An took the phone from A Qing, but the camera was still pointed at the ceiling.
Then Aqing rushed up and continued fighting.
It was similar to that night at the gas station, except that before, Aqing was the one being pinned to the ground, but now Aqing was the one pinning them down on the bed.
The commotion attracted Ji Hua's attention outside, who banged on the door, shouting, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Open the door!"
Wu An replaced A Qing.
Aqing went to open the door.
When Ji Hua opened the door, he saw Wu An lying on the ground with footprints on his body, screaming in agony.
"What's going on? Why did they start fighting?"
“Your two sons are so arrogant. I said a few words to them, and they got angry and hit me.” Wu An got up from the ground, patted his butt, and said, “I won’t stoop to their level, but don’t even think about working on my ship again.”
"Even if the King of Heaven himself pleaded for you, it wouldn't make a difference."
After saying that.
He grabbed Aqing and left.
Ji Hua didn't care about anything else and rushed to check on her two sons who were covered by blankets.
He seemed fine, but his face was covered in snot and tears, and he immediately cried out, "Mom, Wu An and A Qing hit us."
