Lin Chuan originally thought that children are curious about whatever sounds they hear.
However, he still handed the things he was holding to Lin Ping and went to the backyard with Lin Shuning.
At this moment, there was already a commotion outside the courtyard gate, along with the cries of a woman.
When Lin Chuan opened the courtyard gate, he saw a woman who looked to be about the same age as Zheng Yumei, holding a boy with a purplish face in her arms.
The little boy was limp all over, clearly showing signs of suffocation.
The woman was still trying to pry open the little boy's mouth.
"Ocean, ocean, don't scare Grandma! Spit it out, spit it out!"
The woman cried and shouted, but the little boy in her arms became softer and softer, and his complexion worsened.
Lin Shuning was terrified, "Dad..."
Lin Chuan immediately realized that the child must have choked on something.
He quickly put Lin Shuning in the yard, saying, "Shuning, don't move."
He then quickly walked up to the woman and said, "Auntie, let me try."
The woman was at a loss for what to do.
She was just taking her grandson out and had simply given him a piece of candy.
When someone came to help, the woman grasped at a straw.
Lin Chuan had seen the Heimlich maneuver in his previous life.
Every time he saw it, he would look at it several times. He often thought that if there were children at home, he must learn this method, because it could save lives.
Lin Chuan pulled the little boy over, recalling the pictures he had seen before, and, following the method of rock, paper, scissors, he suddenly exerted force on the boy's upper abdomen.
Everyone around fell silent, their hearts pounding in their chests.
The woman didn't dare to make a sound either, fearing she wouldn't be able to save her grandson.
In no time, a perfectly round piece of candy came out of the little boy's throat.
The little boy immediately burst into tears.
Lin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman saw her grandson finally burst into tears, immediately picked him up, and wailed, "Dahai, you scared Grandma to death, Dahai!"
The little boy nestled weakly in the woman's arms.
The woman looked at Lin Chuan and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you, my benefactor. You are my Dahai's savior."
Lin Chuan was on tenterhooks, afraid that it would be too late.
"Auntie, although the child has been saved, you still need to take him to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is any damage elsewhere."
The woman nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor."
"My benefactor, is this your home?"
Lin Chuan nodded. "Yes, this is the shop I own."
The woman wrote down the location and hurriedly took her grandson to the hospital.
The onlookers started discussing it.
"This seems to be the back entrance of Chunmai Noodle Shop."
"Yes, yes, that was the shop owner just now."
"This boss is really nice and kind."
"Yes, he's such a good person."
"I'll go to his place for noodles next time, to support him."
Lin Chuan didn't say anything more and led Lin Shuning into the house.
"Dad, what happened to that boy?"
Lin Chuan squatted down and took off Lin Shuning's hat. "The young man must have choked on the candy while eating it. He can't swallow it or spit it out. That's why he has difficulty breathing."
"So Shu Ning, remember to eat steadily and not run and jump around, it's very dangerous."
Lin Shuning blinked her big eyes. "Okay, I remember, Dad."
After Lin Chuan and his team finished their lunch break, the shop quieted down around 3 p.m.
Lin Ping packed his things and prepared to return to the village.
The shop was as busy as usual in the evening. Around 8 p.m., everyone finished their work and prepared to close.
Suddenly, five or six men pushed the door open and entered.
Lin Chuan was doing the accounts, looking at the several familiar people in front of him.
He had seen these people before; they were thugs from Wangshan County.
He frequented the police station, but didn't do anything seriously illegal.
However, nobody wants to be bothered by such people, so it's best to take a detour if possible, as it can save a lot of trouble.
Lin Chuan didn't understand why these people had come to his shop tonight.
Could it be that they've come to ask for money?
"Sorry everyone, we're closed and have nothing to sell. If you'd like noodles, please come back tomorrow." Lin Chuan's voice was completely calm.
Lin Wei was washing dishes in the kitchen when he heard the commotion and came out as well.
Lin Wei was startled when he saw these people.
They were all honest farmers who never sought to cause trouble.
Is trouble coming knocking on our door?
Lin Chuan pondered how he would deal with these people if they tried to rob him.
What should we do if his shop is vandalized?
His mind raced, but the next second, the leader of the thugs suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Chuan with a "thud".
"My benefactor, thank you for saving my son today. I don't know how to repay your great kindness."
"My benefactor, I'll kowtow to you a few times first. You are the second parents of my son, Dahai!"
As he spoke, the gang leader began kowtowing to Lin Chuan, making a loud "bang bang bang" sound.
Before Lin Chuan could react, the gang leader had already kowtowed three times, his forehead turning red.
Lin Chuan quickly went over to stop him, "You, you're the father of the child who choked on candy today?"
"Yes, my benefactor. That's my son, Lei Chunhai, we all call him Dahai. My benefactor, my name is Lei Yutang. If you ever need anything, please come to me anytime. As long as it's your business, it's my business too. For you, I would go through fire and water, even if it means dying a thousand deaths!"
Lin Chuan squatted there, quite surprised. He hadn't expected that the child he had saved would turn out to be the son of a gang leader.
"Get up first."
Lei Yutang stood up, took an envelope out of his pocket, and said, “My benefactor, this money is good. It’s just a token of my appreciation. If you ever need anything in the future, all of us brothers will be there for you.”
Lin Chuan pushed the envelope back, saying, "I saved your son, not for any reward."
Lei Yutang said, "My benefactor, you are kind because you don't ask for anything in return. If I don't take it seriously, then I'm a brainless and heartless person. You can't do that!"
The people behind him also chimed in, "Yes, one should have a conscience."
"May I ask your name, my benefactor?"
"Lin Chuan".
"Brother Lin, from now on you're our big brother." Lei Yutang greeted those around him, "Brothers, call him big brother!"
"Hello, elder brother!"
Lin Chuan: ...
Has he become a gang leader?
