Everyone else in the shop looked in the direction of Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui.
Lin Chuan strode over, his face kind and his voice gentle, "Sorry to keep you waiting. What would you like to eat? Our shop specializes in noodles, including braised pork noodles, pork chop noodles, beef noodles, shredded chicken noodles, chicken soup noodles, and vegetarian noodles... Also, if you would like some braised meat, that's available too..."
Lin Chuan introduced the items in the store one by one.
Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui listened, swallowing hard.
But looking at Lin Chuan, it's as if he doesn't recognize them.
Zhou Xiuying stared at Lin Chuan, "Lin Chuan, what are you pretending for? Don't you recognize us? Hurry up and get two bowls of big meat noodles!"
Lin Chuan looked surprised and dazed. "Gentlemen, it's fine to order two large bowls of meat noodles, but I don't know how you two know my name. I've never met you before."
Zhou Xiuying stood up, pointed at Lin Chuan's nose, and said, "What did you say? You don't recognize us? We are your grandparents! You unfilial son, how can you say you don't even recognize us!"
Lin Chuan took a step back, looking completely innocent.
Looking at Lin Chuan, the other guests were quite convinced that Lin Chuan and the two elderly people were complete strangers.
Some regular customers in the shop were gossiping, "Could this old man and woman be trying to eat without paying?"
"I think it's highly likely, and they've even gotten married."
Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui's anger intensified upon hearing this.
Lin Fugui stared at the other customers, "What are you saying? He's my grandson. What's wrong with his grandma and I coming here for a bowl of noodles?"
Lin Chuan nodded without getting angry. "I'm really sorry, gentlemen, I don't know you. You may have mistaken me for someone else. If you're looking for your grandson, I can help you report it to the police."
"Or perhaps, you two really just want to arbitrarily establish a marriage alliance in exchange for a couple of bowls of noodles?"
"Actually, if you two tell the truth, if you really have nowhere to go, I can take you in for the night and provide you with food. After all, it's not easy being out in the world, and I, Lin Chuan, am not someone who would stand by and watch someone die."
Zhou Xiuying was dumbfounded. "You, you, you don't even recognize your grandparents! Do you have any conscience?!"
Lin Chuan turned around and apologized to the other customers dining in the restaurant, "I'm so sorry that something like this happened in the restaurant today, which has affected everyone's enjoyment of the meal. Lunch today will be free."
Those present thought, "This boss is too kind."
They all praised it.
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui again, "Gentlemen, if you just want a free bowl of noodles, I can certainly make it for you. But if you have ulterior motives and want to shut down my shop, then I will send you to the police station."
Zhou Xiuying plopped down on the ground. "This is outrageous! Lin Chuan, you don't even acknowledge us and you're going to send us to the police station! Is there no justice left?"
With Lin Chuan's previous actions setting the stage, Zhou Xiuying's current outburst makes everyone feel even more that they are deliberately trying to cause trouble for this store.
Lin Chuan looked annoyed and apologized to the diners.
Zhou Xiuying pointed towards the kitchen, "You, you bring your two older brothers out. They are my grandsons too. I want to ask them if they don't recognize me as their grandmother!"
Lin Chuan frowned. "Sir, if you keep making a scene, I'll have to report you to the police. I don't know if you have a grandson or anyone you care about. But if you have a criminal record, your grandson might not even be able to find a partner in the future."
Zhou Xiuying's crying stopped abruptly. "Are you threatening me?"
"Not really." Lin Chuan smiled. "I own a shop, so I have no reason to threaten you. I wonder who you two elders are acting on their behalf, how much money you've been paid, and how you've managed to sabotage my business?"
Lin Chuan's words directly put a blame on both of them.
Lin Fugui immediately said, "We weren't instructed by anyone!"
Lin Chuan laughed, "Old man, so you admit you deliberately came to my shop to cause trouble. Well then, I'm sorry, but I'm the kind of person who believes in treating others well. Since you really did come to my shop on purpose to cause trouble, please leave."
“We are kind, but kindness should be directed at the right person. If you come to my shop and cause trouble for no reason, and I give you free noodles, it would make me look like a fool.”
The other people in the store were shouting, "Take them to the police station!"
"Yeah, give them noodles? What a load of crap!"
"I can't stand people like that; all they do is do bad things!"
Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui had considered many possibilities when they came, but they never expected it to turn out like this.
Zhou Xiuying was used to splashing water, but that was always in front of Zheng Yumei.
With so many outsiders in the county, she was at a loss for what to do.
In her haste, she picked up the bowls and plates on the table, intending to smash them. Lin Chuan said slowly, "If these bowls and plates are smashed, we'll have to go to the police station and they'll have to compensate my shop for the damage."
Zhou Xiuying angrily put down the bowl and plate.
Immediately, Lin Chuan used force, grabbed the two people, and pushed them directly outside the door.
The moment the door closed, Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui stared hatefully at Lin Chuan.
If looks could kill, Lin Chuan believed he would have died a thousand times over at the hands of Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui.
Outside, it was a frozen wasteland with a biting wind.
The two of them didn't get to eat noodles, and their argument didn't even get a chance to happen.
They just huddled together on one side.
As Zhou Xiuying spoke, her breath was filled with white vapor.
"Dad, what do we do now?"
Lin Fugui shrank back, "How would I know what to do! That little brat Lin Chuan, I really want to tear his mouth to shreds!"
Zhou Xiuying said bitterly, "Why don't those people who eat noodles believe what we say?"
Lin Fugui said angrily, "Who knows what kind of bewitching potion Lin Chuan gave those people?"
As he spoke, he sighed again, "If we just go back like this, I don't know how we'll explain it to my second son's wife."
"What should we do? Lin Chuan is too vengeful. He's doing well now, so why can't he help out the second brother's family? He's heartless and indifferent to us."
Zhou Xiuying looked into the noodle shop again, "I wonder if there's a back door. If all else fails, I can ask Lin Ping for some money to take back."
As they spoke, the two exchanged a glance and walked toward the back of the street.
The two counted the number of doors, then peeked through the cracks in the doors, and finally spotted a familiar face.
In the backyard, Lin Shuning had just finished eating and was playing alone.
Her father said he would bring her home with him when he went back that night.
The courtyard gate suddenly opened, and Lin Shuning blinked. Weren't these her great-grandfather and great-grandmother?
But she didn't like her great-grandfather and great-grandmother.
Zhou Xiuying saw Lin Shuning and it was like seeing a lifeline. "Shuning, come here to your great-grandmother. Your great-grandmother has missed you so much."
Lin Shuning stood up and ran to the kitchen, "Dad, bad guys are going to take me away."
"Daddy, help me!"
