Chapter 1414: You Are Different
When Fangzheng heard that, he subconsciously turned his head and saw the child again . However, there was a woman beside the child . She was dressed in plain clothes . She looked impatient and anxious as though she was in a rush to do something else . However, the child kept pulling the woman towards them, his head covered in sweat .
“What are you doing? Mommy still needs to work! If I don’t hurry up and deal with the cotton, how am I to pay for your school fees!?” the woman shouted anxiously .
At that moment, Fangzheng saw the child shout “ah” a few times . He began gesturing with his hands and feet . He was actually a mute!
Fangzheng did not walk towards the restaurant . Instead, he stood there silently and watched this scene .
The shop owner walked out and stood there to watch .
The mute child was anxious and tried his best to pull the woman towards the restaurant .
When the woman saw that the child was going to the restaurant, she was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes . “Son, that’s a restaurant—a big restaurant, we can’t afford it… Wait for Mom to finish processing the cotton . Once Mom has money, Mom will buy you meat to eat, okay?”
Although the woman said that, her eyes were red .
Clearly, as parents, the feeling of not being able to fulfill their child’s wish for a meal at a restaurant was painful—a form of despair! That sense of despair was even worse than starving to death herself . This was because not only did she feel despair, she also felt guilty and blamed herself!
She blamed herself for not being able to provide the child with the most basic protection . She hated herself for not being able to do anything for the child! She was helpless, and as she looked at the child’s desperate eyes, her heart ached anxiously…
The woman held the child’s hand tightly and said, “Son, can we go back to work first? Okay… okay?”
In the end, the woman broke into tears and cried out loud . The child finally stopped and stopped pulling . He lowered his head and tugged at the corner of his shirt as though he was admitting his mistake .
When the woman saw this, she squatted down and hugged her child while crying . As she cried, she promised, “Good son, I promise you that when you have your birthday this year, I will definitely bring you here to have a meal, alright? I’ll order your favorite braised pork, okay?”
His son hugged the woman and silently looked back at Fangzheng before nodding .
Only then did the woman wipe her tears away . She forced a smile and said, “Good boy, play here . Mommy still has work . When Mommy’s done, Mommy will play with you, alright?”
Her son nodded .
Only then did the woman stand up and leave . However, she left in a sorry state, as though she was fleeing .
The son watched the woman leave as he turned back to look at Fangzheng and the boss before squatting down again . He used his unique technique of gesturing numbers .
Fangzheng had previously seen his technique . According to the rules, he recognized the number—89!
Fangzheng turned his head abruptly . Just as he was watching the mute child speak to his mother, someone had entered the store!
When the boss saw this, he hurriedly stomped his foot and ran in . He discussed with the other party, but they had no intention of backing down . However, the boss had no choice but to get the other party to take a seat and have a meal on the house .
Upon seeing this scene, Fangzheng nearly cried . He hadn’t eaten yet…
Salted Fish mumbled . “Master, it’s over . We will probably starve to death . ”

Fangzheng looked up at the banner and said, “There’s still the 188th spot . ”
“Come on, do you think I don’t know you? Will you eat it even if you are 188th?”
Fangzheng was taken aback . Then, he said with a wry smile, “This Penniless Monk has lost his appetite . What about you?”
Salted Fish thought for a moment and said, “If we can eat together, I can eat a cow . If we eat it alone, forget it . Let’s go hungry…”
Fangzheng said, “At least you have a conscience . When we return to the mountain, I’ll treat you to a feast . ”
Salted Fish: “Heh heh… Master, we don’t seem to have anything to eat on the mountain, right?”
Without Crystal Rice, White Jade Cabbage, and the other items, One Finger Monastery only had some leftover rice from when the villagers gave them . With so much time passing, the rice was already gone . Usually, they would pick wild vegetables in the mountains and find mushrooms to eat .
It could be said that if not for Red Boy’s divine powers, Squirrel, Lone Wolf, and Monkey, who were ordinary creatures and had an acute grasp of nature, they would have long died of hunger .
Have a feast? Salted Fish couldn’t remember how long it had been in his limited memories .
Fangzheng blushed when he heard that .
However, Fangzheng did not consider that . What he was considering now was how to help this mute child eat a meal! That was all!

Now, although Fangzheng also had some divine powers, he could not do too many things in disguise . Furthermore, even if he could conjure money, he wouldn’t use fake money to scam the restaurant owner . After all, the restaurant owner was quite a good person .
Just as Fangzheng was wondering how he could help the little fatty eat at the restaurant…
The mute child took out a chalk and wrote something on the ground . Fangzheng was curious as he leaned over . The child did not seem to mind Fangzheng’s arrival as he quietly wrote…
When the boss saw this, he followed .
The two of them lowered their heads . One had his heart palpitate while the other’s heart winced .
The child wrote on the ground, “Mommy, it’s your birthday today . I want to treat you to a good meal . You’re going through too much . The 188th customer at this restaurant can eat free of charge . We don’t need to spend money . You don’t have to worry . I will study hard . I will take care of you in the future . ”
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng’s eyes turned red . The restaurant owner turned around and walked away . He looked up at the sky as he blinked his eyes . It was as though the sky had money, or he was narrowing his eyes because of a sandstorm .
Fangzheng’s heart stirred as he followed .
He happened to see the boss taking out his cell phone to make a call . “Dear, don’t you have a group of good sisters? Don’t they always want to eat here? Quickly call them and get them to eat here! Cut the nonsense . I’m treating today . They just need to be here! Hurry up!”
Salted Fish was instantly infuriated when he heard that . He grumbled softly, “Master, has this fellow’s conscience been eaten by Eldest Senior Brother? That child is so pitiful . Why didn’t he invite the child in for a meal? What is he thinking?”
Fangzheng hurriedly gave him a slap to shut him up . He whispered, “Don’t come to such a conclusion so quickly . This boss is not bad . He’s a lot more thoughtful than you . ”

Salted Fish was somewhat indignant .
At that moment, the boss finished his call and saw Fangzheng look over . He put down his cell phone and said with a helpless smile, “That child is quite pitiful . I want to help him . Do you want to eat? Come on in . It’s on the house today . Eat as much as you want . I just need the numbers . ”
Fangzheng was taken aback . “Boss, if I can eat as much as I want, why don’t you just call the child over to eat?”
The boss looked at the child and shook his head . “It’s different . You’re an adult . You know the reason why I’m treating you . There’s nothing about face in this problem . But that child is different . He didn’t ask for a free meal . He’s just waiting . It means that the child has a strong self-esteem . He wants to eat it openly and not because of my charity . So, I might as well help him all the way . Once I treat enough people to a meal and hit the numbers, he will come over himself . ”
