Chapter 214: Accident
Qi Yan's pupils were filled with shock when she heard Lu Jinsen suddenly make such a ridiculous request.
Qi Yan didn't agree or refuse. She said coldly, "I'm doing well. Why should I trade with you?"
The packaging part was quite easy for her. She just had to seal the plastic cup, get a plastic bag and a straw, pack it up and put it aside.
Then there is a machine next to it that can replace human voice to call out numbers for pickup. When a customer comes to get milk tea, she will help find it and give it to them.
Qi Yan is relatively satisfied with this job, except that it is a bit tiring because she has to stand during working hours.
If he could ride an electric bike, he would definitely be willing to deliver food, but Liao Jiayan's job is complicated and tedious, with many steps, and he is really not up to it.
Excluding the above two tasks, Lu Jinsen could only shamelessly discuss it with Qi Yan. He didn't hide anything and said seriously, "I'm not doing a good job, okay."
Qi Yan acted as if nothing had happened and said, "Oh."
He had a hard time handling the small situation yesterday. If he didn't change his job today, he was a little worried that if something went wrong he would be complained by the customers.
"So, can you switch with me?" Lu Jinsen's attitude gradually softened. He tried to persuade Qi Yan: "You girls are more familiar with drinks and other things. You are definitely more suitable to take the orders than me."
Qi Yan looked at him with disdain, her tone bland and hinted at disdain: "I don't drink this kind of drink."
[The conversation between these two is inexplicably funny, but I don’t know what’s so funny about it, hahaha]
[The noble young lady said: You fake young master, we rich people all drink Buckstar, okay?]
[Sister in front, where did you get the voice pack? Hahahaha]
Where's the young master's courage? Did he get eaten by a dog? Why has he suddenly become so cowardly?
Seeing Qi Yan remained indifferent, Lu Jinsen spoke again: "Sister Yan, please."
Seeing how much Lu Jinsen begged her, Qi Yan slowly agreed to his request: "Okay."
Business is slow from morning to noon and everyone is relatively relaxed.
Until tea time, the number of orders became more and more, and the deliverymen were waiting at the store after receiving the orders on the platform.
The clerk sorted out the takeaway milk tea, placed it on the counter, and called Meng Chuyuan over: "Sister Meng, there is a milk tea here that needs you to deliver."
Meng Chuyuan: "Okay."
"Be careful, it's a little heavy." There are seven cups of milk tea in total, and it is quite difficult to lift them.
"It's okay, I can handle it." Meng Chuyuan looked at the note on the package, which had the delivery address and contact number written on it. He found that the address was only three or four hundred meters away from their store: "It's so close, I might as well walk there."
[Three or four hundred meters sounds close, but it takes about five minutes to walk, baby. Why not consider riding a bike?]
[It’s so tiring to walk to deliver such heavy milk tea]
Is it possible that Sister Meng went out on a bike and the quality of our livestream is not guaranteed?
Although delivering food on an electric bike is convenient, it is not easy for the photographers who follow the delivery. So in order to make it convenient for everyone, Meng Chuyuan carried seven cups of milk tea, which were a bit heavy, and delivered the food on foot.
Three or four hundred meters is not a difficult task for her, and if her arms get sore, she can just switch to the other hand.
About five minutes later, Meng Chuyuan finally arrived at the address provided by the person who picked up the food. She found a shady place to rest and then called the customer.
Soon, the customer came out from a corridor somewhere and asked: "Why is the delivery person changed today?"
The other party noticed that there was no electric delivery vehicle next to Meng Chuyuan. She was holding seven large cups of milk tea in her hands. There were obvious signs of deformation on the handles of the bags, and it could be seen that her hands were red from being tied.
"I'm new here." Meng Chuyuan replied, and then handed the seven heavy cups of milk tea to the other party: "This is your milk tea, please take it."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." After delivering the order, Meng Chuyuan returned the same way.
It was the time for students to get out of school, and students in school uniforms could be seen walking on the street almost everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Meng Chuyuan wanted to hurry back to the store to help.
She quickened her pace and walked so fast that even the live camera could feel a strong vibration. It was obvious that the photographer was also following her pace.
As he was walking, Meng Chuyuan felt as if he stepped on something and could vaguely hear a sound of something being crushed.
She frowned slightly and paused out of curiosity.
After Meng Chuyuan stopped, she suddenly moved her feet, squatted down, and picked up something that looked like an earplug.
[The scene just now made me feel dizzy, but now I am finally back to normal.]
[What happened? Wasn't Sister Meng rushing back? Why did she stop?]
[I feel like Sister Meng's expression isn't right...and what's that thing she's holding?]
[Bluetooth headphones? But Bluetooth headphones don’t look like this? ? ]
Meng Chuyuan was walking very fast just now, but she felt something hit her calf and then she stepped on it by accident.
The force was so small that she didn't take it seriously. Now that she thinks about it, it must have been this thing that was thrown at her from somewhere.
She recognized the object in her hand.
That's a hearing aid.
Unfortunately, she accidentally stepped on it and broke it.
Meng Chuyuan stood up and was about to look for the owner of the hearing aid, but he accidentally heard a few children talking in the parking lot next to him.
"You're trying to be cool by imitating adults and wearing headphones at such a young age?"
"Why don't you speak? Are you mute?"
"Why are you still crying? We didn't hit you."
…
Hearing such harsh words, Meng Chuyuan subconsciously frowned, and there was a complicated look in her eyes.
The next second, she suddenly changed lanes and walked over: "What are you doing?"
Before Meng Chuyuan could get around to the back of the car, her cold voice came from above their heads.
There were three of them, all boys, about 1.4 meters tall, probably around ten years old.
Hearing Meng Chuyuan's voice, they all looked up and found a woman standing on the other side of the car.
"You guys are bullying your classmates, aren't you?" Meng Chuyuan unfolded the crushed hearing aid in his hand, looked at the two boys who had done something wrong, and asked seriously, "Who threw this thing?"
Listening to Meng Chuyuan's tone, they felt like they were meeting a teacher. Soon, one of the boys answered her, "We didn't throw it away. We just wanted to borrow it to have a look. We just took it off his ear. He lost it when he got scared."
"What do you want to borrow? This is his hearing aid. Can I just lend it to you to have a look?"
"Ah...but he didn't tell us what this thing is?"
Without his hearing aid, the little boy could not hear their voices and could only stand by and cry silently.
[This is definitely school violence, so abominable]
What's wrong with these two kids? They look like they're in fifth or sixth grade. Don't they know you shouldn't touch other people's things? And how dare they bully their classmates like this?
[It feels like Sister Meng is really angry, there is no smile on her face]
[This thing is not cheap, it’s really troublesome if it breaks now]
Meng Chuyuan: "Where did the other one go?"
"No, he only wore one in class today."
Seeing that the boy was wiping his tears, Meng Chuyuan took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and bent down to wipe his tears.
Meng Chuyuan turned his back to the two boys and said coldly, "Don't leave, you two. I have to take you to see the police today."
Perhaps because they heard the words "Uncle Police", both of them were scared, and before Meng Chuyuan could react, they ran away from her in broad daylight.
Although the photographer was just a tool, he couldn't help but ask, "What if they run away?"
"There's no point in running away." Meng Chuyuan said calmly, "These are their classmates. It's easy to find them. Besides, we just saw them."
After calming the boy down, Meng Chuyuan wanted to communicate with him, but he couldn't hear her.
Out of desperation, Meng Chuyuan tried to communicate with him using sign language, but found that he seemed to not understand sign language.
She thought to herself: That's right, he just has a hearing problem, he's not mute.
It's normal not to understand sign language.
[Oh my god, Sister Meng can actually sign language, that's so cool]
[Discovered Sister Meng’s new skills]
"So what should I do now? This hearing aid is broken and definitely unusable. Should I ask the parents of those two children for compensation?"
Seeing his red eyes, I couldn't bear it and started crying too. If this child could understand sign language, he would definitely think Sister Meng is very kind.
Sign language communication failed, so Meng Chuyuan could only take out his phone, open the memo, and type to him: [Where do you live? We will take you back. Don't worry, we are not bad people.]
When the little boy saw the line of words on Meng Chuyuan’s phone, he spoke in a hoarse voice and told Meng Chuyuan his location.
Glancing at the nearly shattered hearing aid in Meng Chuyuan's hand, the boy's eyes were filled with despair: "My hearing aid..."
Meng Chuyuan continued typing: [The hearing aid is broken. But don't cry, I accidentally stepped on it and broke it. I'll compensate you.]
The little boy didn't say anything else. He lowered his eyes and looked very sad.
He took the shattered hearing aid from Meng Chuyuan, refused to communicate with anyone else, turned around and left.
Meng Chuyuan felt very sorry for accidentally breaking someone's hearing aid, and she could empathize with the other person.
Although she had never met her father who was born deaf and dumb, she could imagine how desperate and painful it would be for a person who could neither hear nor speak to encounter difficulties.
This small town is not as developed as the city, but there are still quite a few vehicles, and many intersections do not have traffic lights. Meng Chuyuan temporarily put aside the things at the milk tea shop and followed the boy silently.
It took them about ten minutes to complete this journey, and then the little boy returned home.
The little boy's mother had a loud voice. When Meng Chuyuan saw his son coming back, he could hear his mother's voice from a distance.
Before Meng Chuyuan even walked into their door, she heard a sharp voice coming from inside: "Why did you break your hearing aid again?"
"Playing dumb again?"
Seeing that the situation inside was not right, Meng Chuyuan quickly quickened his pace and appeared at their door. The photographer did not get too close, and the camera only shot Meng Chuyuan's back.
After all, this is a family affair of passers-by and is not within the scope of their program.
Meng Chuyuan couldn't help but come over and persuade the mother: "Sister, please don't speak so loudly to the child."
"What are you afraid of? He can't hear you anyway."
"But you have so many neighbors around you, it's easy to disturb them."
"They're used to it. You're not from here, are you? What are you doing here in our house?"
Seeing that the mother's voice had calmed down a bit, Meng Chuyuan said, "I came back with your son. Please listen to me first. We saw your son being bullied by his classmates on the street. They were curious about this hearing aid, so they wanted to borrow it from your son..."
Before Meng Chuyuan could finish his words, the mother's temper flared up. She suddenly shifted her gaze to look at her son: "You always look so weak, it's no wonder others don't bully you. You're so timid like a girl. Why did I give birth to a loser like you? How many times has your hearing aid broken?"
This hearing aid originally came in a pair, but one of them accidentally dropped two days ago, and a loud noise appeared in the earphones, and then only one was left.
I didn't expect this one to be so completely broken that there was no chance of repairing it.
"Sister, calm down." Meng Chuyuan's face looked unhappy, and she happened to be on her menstrual period today, so this incident was just adding insult to injury.
Meng Chuyuan: "It's not his fault that he's weak. No matter how bad he is, he's still your son. Don't say such harsh words."
[That's right, wow wow, are you still qualified to be a parent if you scold your own son like that? ]
Even though he can't hear it now, he must be devastated to see his mother's reaction.
[I've seen this mother scold her son quite a bit. Perhaps his weak and fearful character was caused by being frightened by his mother.]
[Sister Meng is so gentle. She always thinks about the child and speaks up for him. But this child’s biological mother is just a bully when something goes wrong. What kind of ability is it to scold her son?]
The boy's mother was shaking with anger. She put one hand on her waist and the other on her chest to calm her breath: "None of them, big or small, give me peace of mind."
"Were you listening to me just now? This is probably not the first time he's been bullied by his classmates. I hope you can pay attention to this and pay more attention to the child."
"Haven't I cared enough about him? His dad is still in the hospital, and I work myself to death to earn a few bucks. Just replacing his hearing aids has already cost me thousands. This brat, I told him to be careful, but he didn't listen to me at all."
Meng Chuyuan didn't know what the current situation of their family was, but judging from her eldest sister's tone, her husband was sick and hospitalized, and they were also having financial difficulties.
She calmly explained to the older woman, "It wasn't him who broke the hearing aid this time. He was blocked on the road by two classmates, and I accidentally stepped on it when I passed by..."
