Chapter 308: Incident at the Riverside

Chen Yuan squeezed next to a tall man and listened silently to the conversation between the man and his friend.

"We won't be coming to this store anymore. How can you treat an elderly person like this?"

"I agree! Besides, I didn't even come into their store, I just sat inside for a while, and they couldn't even stand that and started to chase me away!"

After listening to this, Chen Yuan looked at the innocent old man in the distance who was looking embarrassed. Although the man's clothes were torn, they were very neat. From his words and actions, it could be seen that he was not a person who was unreasonable and wanted to take advantage of the store.

She even heard that the old man kept apologizing to the clerk, but the clerk refused to give in.

"Who told you to beg in front of our store? If you do this, how can we continue to do business? Can you afford the money we lose?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll leave right away..."

"You can come as you like and leave as you like?" The clerk held the old man's arm tightly.

The onlookers around pointed and talked, but no one stepped forward.

At this time, Chen Yuan took a big step forward and shouted in a loud voice:

"Uncle Li, I asked you to go into the store and wait for me, why did you run outside the store?" As she spoke, she pried the clerk's hand off the old man's arm, then took the old man's arm and walked into the store on her own.

"Hey! You are..." the clerk shouted behind them.

Chen Yuan turned around and glared at him, "Why? I can't come into your store to spend money?"

"Or should I call and ask for their opinion?"

The clerk immediately shut his mouth, looking scared, worried that Chen Yuan would really call or complain directly to their boss.

Chen Yuan said this just to scare the clerk, she didn't want to get involved with him any further.

The woman's purpose was simple, to help the old man get out of the embarrassing situation as quickly as possible.

Seeing that the clerk did not catch up with her, she pulled the old man and continued walking into the store.

The old man followed behind Chen Yuan and said gratefully:

"Thank you, my dear. Please let go of my hand. I won't go into the store..." Seeing that she didn't respond, the old man continued, "My dear, I'm really causing you trouble."

Chen Yuan saw an empty seat in the middle of the store from afar, grabbed the old man's arm and ran over.

"Old man, don't be polite to me. I don't find it troublesome at all!"

When Chen Yuan said this, she stared at the clerk and instructed the clerk at the door to serve her and the old man.

The change of scene and identity made the clerk's face look very ugly. He had long lost the arrogant attitude he had at the door. He forced a smile on his face and said with all his strength:

"Hello, this is the menu."

Chen Yuan took the menu and carefully selected it.

While she was choosing, the old lady kept observing the clerk's expression.

As soon as the clerk left, the old man tugged at a corner of Chen Yuan's clothes and timidly pleaded:

"I...you...can we not eat in the store?"

Chen Yuan could see that the old man didn't want to embarrass the clerk, but how did the clerk treat him just now?

The old man's uneasy look deeply hurt the woman's heart. She shouldn't have dragged him into trouble just for a momentary anger.

Chen Yuan looked straight into the old man's eyes and said, "Okay, let's not eat in the restaurant. I'll ask them to pack it up for me." He smiled slightly after saying that.

After hearing what Chen Yuan said, the old man smiled, his body was no longer stiff, and the smile spread to his entire face.

After picking up the food, the two walked to the door of the store.

Chen Yuan grabbed the things in his hand and stuffed them all into the old man's cross-body bag, causing the old man to resist violently.

"Girl! Girl...what are you doing!"

"Ouch!"

Chen Yuan cried out in pain, and the old man immediately stopped resisting, bent down and lowered his body to check her injuries.

The woman took advantage of the old man's relaxed vigilance and stuffed the last two burgers in her hand into her cross-body bag.

The old man was still worried about her injuries, his hands trembling and suspended in mid-air, not knowing where to put them.

Chen Yuan covered his mouth with his hands, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

She cleared her throat, her face slightly reddened, and said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, old man... I actually wanted to teach that waiter a lesson."

"This is my own little plan, and I shouldn't involve you."

"Well..." The old man shook his head. "It was you who helped me... That young man did nothing wrong. Someone like me shouldn't be sitting in front of their store and affecting their business."

Chen Yuan was very surprised by the old man's words. It seemed that the other party really didn't mind the clerk's behavior.

Feeling the scrutiny from Chen Yuan, the old man smiled.

"When you reach my age, or have experienced more, you won't take everything so seriously."

Chen Yuan nodded, seeming to understand, and looked at the old man with a hint of admiration. He couldn't help but ask:

"Where do you live? I can drive you there."

The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, then answered calmly:

"I don't have a permanent place to live, and recently I've been staying in an abandoned mobile home by the river."

"That's perfect. I want to go to the river too."

After getting the old man's consent, Chen Yuan took him to his private car, and the two of them drove to the river together.

On the way, Chen Yuan asked about the old man's life and past. The old man shook his head calmly, unwilling to elaborate, and only said a few words:

"I think scavenging is a very happy thing. I can walk around the streets and pick up things that people have discarded but can still be sold for money."

"And I donate the money I earn from collecting rags to those in need, so useless things have new value."

Chen Yuan tightened his grip on the steering wheel. In the old man's eyes, even rags can become treasures.

The woman was about to ask the old man other questions when the car suddenly made a "tatting" noise, which immediately took away all her attention.

"what happened?"

Chen Yuan muttered to himself while trying to control the steering wheel.

The woman's efforts were in vain. The car became more and more out of control. With the sharp shouts of the two people, it plunged into the sparkling river.

Looking from the riverside, the car body was gradually sinking and was about to sink completely into the water.

Chen Yuan and the old man in the car were both terrified.

The old man was better than Chen Yuan. He picked up Chen Yuan's mobile phone and smashed it against the glass window. After the phone was broken, he took the eyebrow razor handed to him by Chen Yuan.

Suddenly, the cross-body bag hit the old man's leg as he turned around.

He seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly grabbed the bag with both hands and searched for it.
