A short while later, a middle-aged man entered, walking with a slight limp.

Lin Dayuan introduced the two of them to each other.

One had a limp, the other had a facial injury; the two found common ground and became fast friends at first sight.

Liu Erli secretly told Tian Lei, "Little Tian, ​​the Lin family is all very nice. As long as you work hard, they won't complain. Look, even though my leg is lame, I've never been disliked. They were the ones who took the initiative to hire me."

Tian Lei nodded vigorously, "Brother Liu, I will definitely do my best."

He applied for a job before, but no one wanted him for 800 yuan. This place not only accepted him but also offered him such a high salary. He will definitely cherish it.

However, it quickly went wrong.

He stood by the table, his face flushed and at a loss, while a customer pointed at him with his index finger.

"Are you fucking crazy? Are you here just to scare people? I come here to eat and enjoy the service, not to ride a roller coaster. You should stay home with that ugly face. Don't you know you're going to scare people to death?"

The bald man shouted loudly, ignoring everyone.

The other customers in the store were initially surprised, but they didn't react this strongly. After all, the young man didn't want this to happen, and he was quite pitiful.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Xi immediately rushed out, "Who are you pointing at? Put your hand down!"

The voice was clear yet resonant.

The whole store quieted down.

The bald man paused for a moment, then, seeing it was a little girl, said, "What? Did I say something wrong? Luckily I didn't bring a child, otherwise they would have been traumatized. Can you take responsibility for that?"

Yan Feng and Wu Zheng clenched their fists tightly, their faces flushed with anger.

Tian Lei lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, little sister, I've caused you trouble. I'll be leaving now."

Lin Xi grabbed him, "Why are you leaving? If anyone should leave, it should be him."

She pointed at the bald man and said, "Look at you! You don't have a single hair on your head, and it's so shiny it's almost blinding me. If I go blind, can you take responsibility?"

One of the customers couldn't help but laugh, and the bald man, feeling embarrassed, angrily said, "Is this how you do business? Is this how you treat your customers?"

Lin Xi stood with her hands on her hips, short in stature but full of imposing manner, "You're a customer, not God. Do you expect me to applaud you for swearing? Besides, what kind of customer are you? You don't deserve to eat my food at all!"

He then looked around and said, "Do you know how he got injured? He was a policeman with a bright future, but because he was slashed on the face by a thug, he can only work as an ordinary waiter in our small shop now."

I feel sorry for him!

Through rigorous training, he has acquired exceptional martial arts skills. He dares to fight against criminals, is brave and responsible, and possesses a sense of justice, compassion, and kindness.

He is a hero who deserves flowers and applause, not someone who is insulted and cursed by the very people he protects.

Why should he be treated like this?

She turned to look at the bald man and said, "Do you think you deserve it? What have you done? Besides yelling like a shrew and exposing your ignorance and immorality, what else can you do?"

Even kneeling down to apologize to him wouldn't be too much, you understand?

The bald man was surprised to find out that he was a policeman, and he couldn't help but blush.

"I didn't know he was a policeman!"

"So what if they're not police officers, but ordinary people? Should ordinary people be criticized? They didn't steal or rob; they lived by their own abilities. Is that wrong?"

"Shouldn't it be people like you who judge by appearances who are at fault?"

"Here, I want to tell everyone again that his name is Tian Lei, a hero who was injured while protecting the people. He can work in my shop forever if he wants."

If you mind, you don't have to come. Our Lin family wouldn't stoop to disappointing a hero just for a few bucks.

Lin Guiying chimed in, "I really like this young man. He's efficient and quick at his work. I'm not going to let him leave. Please pass this on to each other. If you mind, then don't come."

It's good that there are fewer people, so it's easier. She's come to terms with it now; as long as she has enough money to spend, that's fine. Otherwise, if things continue like this, she might earn money but not live to spend it.

Lin Guojun nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right, me too, where can I find such a good waiter?"

While cooking the spicy hot pot, Lin Dayuan shouted, "Me too! You bald guy, this bowl of spicy hot pot is free for you, hurry up and go!"

Liu Erli was moved to tears and quickly stood up to say, "I am a cripple, but the Lin family does not look down on me and even pays me a high salary. Don't think they are being blunt; they are all kind-hearted people who are tough on the outside but soft on the inside."

The customers all applauded, "We don't mind, we don't mind at all, Tian Lei is a great hero!"

"Yes, Tian Lei is a great hero!"

"Tian Lei is a great hero!"

"Tian Lei is a great hero!"

……

Everyone clapped and shouted loudly, looking at Tian Lei with admiration, each shout getting louder than the last.

The Lin family members also joined in the shouting.

Tian Lei could no longer hold back his tears, which streamed down his face and soaked his clothes.

He was slashed by thugs and was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep for days and nights, but he didn't cry.

Looking in the mirror at the scar that stretched from his brow bone to his jaw, he didn't cry.

He didn't cry even though he couldn't find a job and was rejected, insulted, and verbally abused.

Seeing the Lin family abandon their lucrative business and argue with customers to protect him, he couldn't help but cry.

But he cried tears of joy; what right did he have to do so?

……

He bowed to the Lin family and said, "Thank you!"

He bowed again to the customers, saying, "Thank you!"

"I hope you won't mind what the owner said, and that you will continue to support the business. I will try my best to stay in the kitchen from now on."

The customers, however, kept shouting, "No, no, it has to be in front! We're so honored that the police are serving us our food!"

"Yes, yes, we're not scared, young man. We're not bald, we don't judge people by their appearance."

"Yes, yes, my son keeps asking to be a policeman. He idolizes heroes. I'll bring him to see you tomorrow."

……

The bald man was too embarrassed to stay any longer and slunk away.

Yan Feng and Wu Zheng exchanged a glance. Sure enough, Tian Lei had come to the right place.

Later, even if someone was dissatisfied with Tian Lei, they would be confronted by customers and their faces would turn red before they could say anything.

After closing the shop that night, Wu Zheng patted Tian Lei on the shoulder and said, "How about it, brother? We didn't lie to you, did we? That family is really protective of their own. You're in for a treat!"

Tian Lei grinned foolishly, "I'm so happy. This is the first time someone has ever stood up for me like this. Especially that little girl, I didn't expect her to be so assertive."

"The Lin family's young lady has a sharp tongue. If you don't provoke her, she's a little lamb. But if you do, you'll see what she was like today; she could verbally abuse you until you become withdrawn."

Yan Feng nodded. "This is probably something he inherited from Grandma Lin."

Tian Lei: "I think they have good tempers and are easy to get along with."

One of them had been persecuted by Lin Xi, and the other by Grandma Lin. They both shook their heads, "That only applies to you!"
