Seeing that the woman had no remorse at all, Wen Jiuyue's voice became even louder.
"Grandma, your hands are also burned red! Woo woo woo..." Leng You suddenly grabbed Wen Jiuyue's hand and raised it up.
Everyone looked over and sure enough, there was also a red burn mark on the back of Wen Jiuyue's hand, but there was no blister, so it didn't look as scary as the one on Leng You's hand.
"This is really too much. What are we waiting for if we don't fire someone like her?"
“So there is a reason why state-owned restaurants are not doing well now.”
"That woman is so arrogant, could she be a relative of the manager?"
"A couple?"
"They don't look like a couple! Could it be that..."
The tone of the conversation among the onlookers gradually became off track.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to eat, eat. If you don't want to eat, get out. It's not your turn..."
"Xiao Zhao! This has happened more than once or twice. I've criticized you so many times, why don't you repent?
You have lost your year-end bonus this year. From today on, you don’t have to work in the front anymore. Go to the back kitchen to pick and wash vegetables!
Also, since you burned someone's child's hand like this today, the money for the child's medical treatment, the meal, and the mental compensation will all be deducted from your salary.
"Madam, do you think this is okay?"
The manager stopped the waiter from cursing at the customer with an angry roar, turned around and looked at Wen Jiuyue sincerely.
In the next few days, the leaders above will come down to conduct an inspection before the integration of state-owned restaurants, and he is at a critical stage as to whether he can stay in the job or, if he thinks more optimistically, whether he can get a promotion. His career must not be affected by this incident.
"Why? I..."
"What, you don't accept it? If you don't accept it, you can go home now!" The manager domineeringly blocked the waiter again.
"What right do you have to fire me? I am a formal employee of the state. It is not up to you, a small manager, to fire me." The waiter also took the risk and rushed forward to argue with the manager.
"I have no rights? Don't forget what time it is now. Don't you know about the notice just issued by the higher-ups? During the integration period, employees who usually perform poorly can be appropriately reduced in number or transferred to other positions.
Or, do you want to go to a vegetable farm?"
How could a small waiter dare to deny him the leadership authority in front of so many people? The manager directly used his power to subdue people.
"I..." The waiter was completely depressed.
"Auntie, I'll send someone to accompany you to take your child to the hospital!" The manager turned to Wen Jiuyue with a smile as if he had changed his face.
"Grandma, I don't want to go to the hospital for an injection. I want Grandpa Bai to see me. I don't want an injection." Leng You hugged Wen Jiuyue's thighs and buried his face in them.
She really felt that she had completely lost face. With such an old heart, she was pretending to be young and acting like a spoiled child. Even she was about to vomit.
"This..." Wen Jiuyue, who had never seen Leng You like this, was at a loss.
“Children are afraid of injections.
How about this, I'll make the decision and compensate you directly, and you can decide whether to go to the hospital or see a doctor you are familiar with, is that ok?"
The manager spoke again with great consideration.
This manager was a chef by profession, so he was very familiar with burns. Although Leng You's burns looked a little scary, they were not dangerous. At most, he would just be left with a scar. Even if he didn't go to the hospital, he could find a doctor and get some medicine to apply and it wouldn't be a big deal.
He did this because he wanted to solve the problem once and for all to avoid any trouble in the future.
"Grandma, I don't want to go to the hospital. I don't want an injection." Leng You's face was still buried in Wen Jiuyue's legs. His voice was a little unclear, but it made people feel even more distressed.
"Okay, okay, let's not go to the hospital. Youyou, don't be afraid!" Wen Jiuyue picked up Leng You and patted her back gently.
Leng You: “…”
The chills down my spine were even greater than when I had imagined myself becoming a kaleidoscope.
What is a face? It no longer exists.
Buried his face in Wen Jiuyue's shoulder.
In the end, the manager decided to compensate Leng You and the others thirty yuan. Seeing that Wen Jiuyue was determined not to continue eating, he packed up all the food they ordered and gave it to them to take away. Not only that, he also gave them two extra dishes and two baskets of buns.
"Youyou, don't be afraid! Grandma is here, we..."
"Grandma, put me down!" Leng You raised his head and looked at the street where he had walked out of the restaurant.
"No, your hand is injured, grandma has to hold you." Wen Jiuyue held Leng You's hand tighter.
"Grandma, look?" Leng You stretched out his hand in front of Wen Jiuyue.
"Ah? Where's this... blister?"
Wen Jiuyue looked at Leng You's white and flawless little hand, thinking that she was dazzled and didn't see clearly, so she pulled it over to take a closer look, but there was nothing. She quickly pulled the other little hand over to check, but there was still nothing, and her face was full of confusion.
"Grandma, let's talk about it after we get home." It was already past lunch time and they were on the street, so it was not the time to talk about this.
"Oh!" Despite having a lot of questions, Wen Jiuyue nodded.
I went to Chen Mazi's place with Leng You to pick up the things that were temporarily stored there, and then let Leng You hire a rickshaw to return to the bungalow.
"Youyou, let grandma look at your hand again. Are you really okay?" After entering the house, Wen Jiuyue pulled Leng You's hand again to take a look at it worriedly.
"It's okay, I smeared something on them on purpose to scare them." Leng You explained as he put the packed food on the stove to heat it up.
Having studied medicine with Bai Changpu for so long in past and present lives, and especially being particularly sensitive to medicinal herbs after his rebirth, this little trick is nothing to Leng You.
"Fake? Why?" Wen Jiuyue was stunned.
"That woman scolded you." Leng You's eyes turned cold. Worried that Wen Jiuyue would see it, he immediately lowered his head and pretended to stir the food in the pot.
"Youyou!" Wen Jiuyue suddenly hugged Leng You into her arms, and tears fell again.
It turned out that everything the child had done before was to vent her anger. It turned out that the child couldn't bear to see her being bullied.
Such a young child already knew to protect her. Wen Jiuyue really couldn't control her emotions.
"No one is allowed to bully you again." Leng You's voice was calm, but chilling to the bone. He was completely different from the little kid who was so scared of an injection that he started crying.
"Good, good, good, that's great! Our Youyou has grown up and can protect grandma." Wen Jiuyue's tears flowed like a spring again.
Including the two sent by the manager, there were six dishes in total. The grandparents and grandchildren couldn't eat so much, so they only heated up four of them. The rest could be used as breakfast for tomorrow's breakfast.
Although the food tasted better than the last restaurant, Leng You thought it was still not as good as Wen Jiuyue's cooking. But seeing that Wen Jiuyue ate with relish, he thought that he rarely ate outside, so he might find it a little fresh.
