“This way, he would only think that it was through his own ability that he managed to treat his mother to a big meal. Not only will it not hurt his self-esteem, it could also boost his confidence. A mute child is born to be lacking compared to others. He can only live a better life with some confidence. Isn’t that right?

“Sigh, I’m just a boor. I can only think of so much, so I did this. Brother, I’m not looking down on you. Just treat it as helping me, okay?”

Fangzheng smiled. “I’m thick-skinned. I’m not afraid of being looked down upon. As for you, you are a nice guy. In the future, good fortune will befall you.”

“Aiya, why talk about good fortune? As a person, one just needs to live up to one’s conscience. Come in and eat whatever you want. Order whatever you want,” said the boss with a chuckle. “If you have friends, help me call a few. I’m afraid the child will starve if it takes too long.”

Fangzheng subconsciously pressed his palms together. He wanted to say something, but the boss had already lowered his head to make a call. He did not see the scene.

Fangzheng smiled and did not say a word. He turned around and entered the restaurant.

The boss made several calls and also posted on his Moments page. He wrote the whole story and requested for customers to come. The only caveat was to not tell others that it was free.

When the owner’s friends saw this, they all left messages.

“Old Liu, you’re righteous!”

“I’m coming. Although I just had lunch, you can get me a bowl of water. My whole family will come! Five people!”

“I’m coming too. Son, good job! As a person, you live up to your conscience! Money.. can’t be brought along in death. Make less money, earn a conscience!”

“Brother Liu, I’m coming too. There’s no need for you to treat me. Today, I’ll treat my friends. There are many people—12.”

..

The place wasn’t very big to begin with. Following everyone’s response, Fangzheng saw a group of people arrive at the restaurant one after another. They sat down at the table. However, these people either paid the bill themselves or sat there drinking plain water without ordering anything.

However, everyone subconsciously stole a glance at the child across the road. There was a smile on their faces, and their kind gazes made the weather much cooler.

As more and more people came, Old Liu’s shop could no longer accommodate everyone.

The customers who were still eating were also a little confused. They didn’t understand why so many customers were coming suddenly..

“No way? There usually aren’t so many people?”

“That’s right. It’s already good enough to receive so many people in a day. They came all at the same time? Did this restaurant do some advertising? Some promotion?”

“There’s a little too many people. It’s too messy. I won’t come back in the future.”

Many people had questions and complaints, but when they found out the answer, the initial impatience and complaints disappeared.

“Boss, nice, I’ll settle the bill. Pack the rest of the dishes for me. I’ll open up these seats for you,” shouted a man who looked like a boss.

“Boss, I will foot the bill too. Pack it up for me.” It was the same for another table as well.

“Everyone has good intentions. Why don’t we share a table?”

Someone suggested.

“Ah, this suggestion is good. Come, let’s sit together.”

Thus, a group gathered together. The atmosphere became more harmonious and lively. There weren’t any more complaints, but more anticipation.

At this moment, a man was about to walk into the restaurant when the boss immediately said in the group chat, “We almost hit the numbers. We won’t let people in from now on!”

When some people who had rushed over heard this, they all stopped in their tracks and loitered outside, as though they had no intention of entering the shop.

As for the mute boy, he ran away one step earlier. Not long after, he pulled the woman back.

When the woman saw that she was back again, she immediately turned anxious. “Son, didn’t we agree? After I finish my work and earn money, we will come back during your birthday?”

The mute boy shook his head vigorously. In the end, he pulled the woman to the spot where he wrote on the ground and pointed at the words on the ground for her to read.

The woman looked down and was instantly stunned. Her expression was extremely complicated, but she was most touched!

Upon seeing this scene, many people wiped their tears as well. Some even said to their boss, “Boss, please invite them over.”

The boss shook his head and said, “They will come. We wait.”

historical

“Master, why is he waiting?”?Salted Fish secretly sent Fangzheng a voice transmission.

Fangzheng said as though he was mumbling to himself, “Waiting represents respect. Inviting them might scare them away.”

Salted Fish was puzzled.

Fangzheng said, “This child’s mother is feeling a little inferior. When the restaurant owner invites her, she will be afraid of the difference in status, so she will leave. If she over herself, she must have overcome the hurdles in his heart. Once she thinks through it, she will feel comfortable eating.”

Salted Fish said,?“I see.”

Outside, the woman squatted down and hugged the child. She smiled and cried. After a while, the woman rubbed the child’s head and said, “Thank you, son. Let’s go eat.”

Hearing this, the mute boy smiled brightly. That smile made many people burst into tears.

“Nice.. I didn’t come for nothing.”

“This is something from the heart. It’s always the people around that are down-to-earth..”

“Yeah, the Internet is so filled with nastiness. It upsets people. What I’m seeing now really feels good..”

“They are here. Everyone, begin acting. Don’t stare at them! You might scare them off. If they run off, you will have to pay for it yourself. I won’t be treating you!” shouted the boss.

Everyone was amused when they heard that. They nodded their heads. They ate, chatted, drank water, and bragged. Occasionally, they would sneak a peek.

“Congratulations to the two of you. You are the 188th and 189th customer of our shop today. No matter what you eat, it’s all on the house!” A waiter came forward and congratulated them.

“Thank you.. Thank you..” The woman appeared a little reserved, but she was still very happy.

Seeing his mother’s happy smile, the mute child smiled as well. Looking at the smiles on their faces, many people laughed. There was no mockery, arrogance or contempt in their laughter because they were rich. It was a laughter of recognizing kindness.

The lady brought the child to the seats. The waiter immediately took out the menu and asked, “What would you like to eat? Do you want to try our specialty dishes, crayfish?”

“No..” the woman hurriedly shouted. She glanced at the price on the menu, clearly reluctant to pay for it.

The waiter reminded her helplessly, “Miss, it’s all on the house. You can eat whatever you want to eat.”

The woman shook her head. “No, no. Give me a set of braised pork and two bowls of rice.”

“This.. Don’t you want anything else? Drinks or something?” The waiter asked in surprise.

The woman shook her head. “No, that’s enough.”

At this moment, the child suddenly pressed down on the menu. He pointed at the braised pork and shook his head. Then, he pointed at a fish and nodded non-stop.

The waiter asked, “Miss, look..”

The woman took a look and shook her head. “I want braised pork. I don’t want fish.”

“Why not both?” The attendant could tell that the woman wanted braised pork while the child wanted fish. There would be no outcome if they kept arguing about this, so he decided to give such a suggestion.
