Chapter 48: A small warning...
Chapter 48
Lin Mujin smiled and persuaded the guests to sit behind the food truck.
Cousin Lin was worried and followed along.
"Sir, we at the restaurant apologize for the bad experience you had this time." Lin Mujin decided to use courtesy before force.
Sure enough, the male customer still refused to give up. "Just an apology is enough. I even ate your hair. How disgusting!"
Lin Mujin felt even more certain and followed his lead, "So what do you mean?"
The male customer stiffened his neck and said, "It'll cost me a hundred yuan."
Lin Mujin sneered and pulled out a kitchen knife. "One hundred yuan, I'll give you one hundred knives. You're trying to scam me at my house? Eat shit! I'll take you to see Brother Hong. My family paid the management fee."
The male customer was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Just as he was about to shout, Lin Mujin gave her cousin a look, and her cousin immediately started to push him.
Lin Mujin's face was stern. Although her voice was low and cold, she said, "Shut up! You dare to make a noise and disturb my business? I'll stab you right now! You idiot!"
With a cold expression, she pulled out ten yuan and stuffed it into the man's pocket. Then she patted him twice, "I've made up for it. Don't come here again. Next time, I'll take you straight to Brother Hong."
He nodded to his cousin Lin and asked him to make way.
The male customer ran away and soon disappeared.
Cousin Lin frowned, "Are you okay?"
Lin Mujin let out a long breath. "It's no big deal. People like that are just trying to take advantage of us. Didn't you hear he only asked for a hundred yuan?"
Cousin Lin sighed and reached out to take the kitchen knife. "Next time you need to use a knife, let me do it. We still have men in our family."
Lin Mujin muttered, "Macho chauvinism." But she didn't mind it.
Cousin Lin rubbed her hair vigorously and said, "You have good ideas, but you are not obedient."
Lin Mujin scratched her hair and said, "Oh, my hairstyle."
She took off the hairpin and put it back on. "I want to be a lady too, but I can't be soft with people like this, or there will be a next time, and it's endless. Sister Zhu told me that they are professional scammers who want to eat and drink for free and make a little money. These people are the ones who bully the weak and fear the strong."
Cousin Lin was puzzled. "Then you give me ten yuan."
Lin Mujin said, "This is called the carrot and stick approach, using both kindness and force. This villain has the smallest heart, so give him some so he doesn't go to extremes."
Cousin Lin seemed to be lost in thought.
At this time, Uncle Lin, who was worried, walked over and asked, "Are you okay, Jin? Where's that guy?"
Lin Mujin quickly took two steps forward and said, "I paid ten yuan as compensation, and he left."
Uncle Lin nodded repeatedly, "In business, harmony brings wealth, and ten dollars is not a lot."
Lin Mujin quickly agreed, "Yes, that's what I thought. Brother, please go back quickly. Sister is the only one left in the car."
Uncle Lin became anxious again, "I have to go back and collect the money."
Lin Mujin held his arm, and they both quickened their pace at the same time.
At this time, the customer flow was even greater, and the three of them immediately got down to work, with no time for discussion.

Lin Mujin was holding a cup of sour plum soup and discussing with her cousin Lin about making a set of work clothes and a hat.
"I'll ask Boss Feng to take my measurements and make me a long white dress and a white hat. I'll go home and buy two hair bags from the store to cover my hair."
Cousin Lin still has a frugal mentality, "Let's buy the cloth and make it ourselves."
Lin Mujin drank a sip of sour plum soup and said, "Sister, think about it, there is no one in our family who has time to spare. We really didn't have money before, but now you make a few hundred yuan a day, it's not a big deal."
Cousin Lin thought about it and said, "Okay then. How many sets should we do?"
Lin Mujin thought for a moment and said, "Three sets, let's make the clothes bigger."
Cousin Lin didn't object and turned to talk about the man at noon, "Sister, do you think he dares to come again?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "If you come to make trouble again, I will chop him up."
Lin Mujin knew that her cousin was telling the truth, because her current happy life was hard-earned and she would not allow anyone to destroy it.
"Don't worry, sister. He won't come again."
It's nonsense to say that the man changed his ways after being scared by her.
However, there are so many shops, and he has hit a wall once, so he will definitely move on to the next one and look for an easy target.
But she couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be other people trying to scam her.
Lin Mujin began to change the subject, "Sister, who recommended this job to Brother? Does Brother have such connections?"
She was a little curious too.
Cousin Lin shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Lin Mujin drank the sour plum soup in the cup in one gulp. "I hope your new job goes well, brother. I'm going home, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Cousin Lin said, "Don't make it too complicated. Why don't you go buy some ready-made barbecued meats?"
Lin Mujin thought of yesterday's roast goose and said, "Let's buy some barbecued pork. Bye, sister, bye, uncle."
She had already written more than a thousand words of the manuscript when she woke up that morning, which was why she was not in such a hurry.
So you can also go to the vegetable market.
Lin Mujin bought a portion of redwood fish, a portion of barbecued pork and a handful of vegetarian dishes.
It only cost less than forty dollars.
I went home satisfied.

At the dinner table, the Lin family ate delicious food and chatted, and the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.
Lin Mujin swallowed the barbecued pork in her mouth and made an assessment in her mind: it was too sweet. She would go to another restaurant next time.
"Brother, how is your new job going today?" she was curious.
I'm really curious.
Apparently, she wasn't the only one curious. Cousin Lin also urged, "Brother, tell me quickly. I asked you this afternoon but you refused to tell me."
Cousin Lin smiled and said, "I just wanted to say it at the dinner table. Just tell everyone once. This job is only part-time for now. It's a small company, but it's under Jiahe, so there's no shortage of business, just not staff. If Jiahe has a big movie to shoot and needs a lot of props, they will need me. If I do a good job, the company will consider signing a long-term contract. But this one suits me perfectly. My family stall just happened to need some staff, so I didn't try to get it."
Looking at Lin Mujin, "Boss, do you need anyone else?"
Lin Mujin puffed out her chest and said, "My food shop is doing a booming business, so naturally we're short of staff. You're already an experienced worker, so I won't be testing you anymore. You'll start tomorrow, 100 yuan a day, paid on the same day."
Cousin Lin smiled and clasped his hands together, "Thank you, boss! But I might need to take time off from time to time to call and ask if there are any work arrangements."
Lin Mujin still acted like a boss. "Of course, I can do it during my free time."
Cousin Lin agreed readily, "Of course."
Lin Mujin picked up another piece of barbecued pork and felt that the dessert was acceptable.
Haha, she can be liberated with her cousin's help.
To be honest, she was even thinking of hiring a male helper.
In addition to helping with work, it also means being a bodyguard.
What happened today was a warning to her.
