“I have no proof, but even if this money was given to me by my husband, he earned it by protecting our country and shedding blood and sweat, just so that I and the vast majority of people wouldn’t have to live the hard life we used to live. If I eat something good, isn’t that exactly what he wants? What’s wrong with that? Everyone works themselves to the bone and struggles to earn money, isn’t that what they’re after?”
The carriage was filled with all sorts of people, but they were all hardworking travelers. Hearing her words, they all nodded silently involuntarily.
Making money is all about making life more comfortable, and no one can argue with that.
The disdain in everyone's eyes when they looked at Zhou Qiqi had vanished. Zhou Qiqi turned around with satisfaction and looked at the aunt.
"As for what you said about not flaunting wealth, and thieves stealing things, that's their moral depravity, what does it have to do with me? According to your twisted logic, people wearing cotton hats deserve to have their hats stolen, and people wearing rubber shoes deserve to have their shoes taken off? Then you might as well travel naked on the train, that would be safer!"
A few snickers rang out in the carriage, and everyone turned to look at the woman.
The woman felt uncomfortable and reached out to wrap her cloth jacket tighter.
"Sharp-tongued and full of fallacies! I'll teach you a lesson today!"
Her face flushed red, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to rush up and fight Zhou Qiqi.
Zhou Qiqi, however, was as clever as a little devil. She nimbly hid behind the seat with her little bundle, and pretended to suddenly realize something, shouting loudly.
"Oh, I see! You're in cahoots with those thieves, aren't you? You're spouting these fallacies to confuse the public so your accomplices can escape?"
These words caused an uproar in the entire carriage, and someone immediately began to recall.
"I just remembered, this woman walked past me not long before my wallet was stolen..."
"That seems to be the case! I remember it too..."
The crowd immediately surrounded the woman, demanding an explanation from her.
That's none of her business.
Zhou Qiqi stuck out her tongue at the aunt, picked up her bag, and walked gracefully towards the car door.
In the crowd at G City Station, Zhou Qiqi, like a nimble fish, slipped through the throng.
She took out five cents, used the public restroom next to the station, and checked the money she had hidden in her waistband.
Ninety-nine yuan and twenty-five cents, not a penny less, all of it is here.
Zhou Qiqi isn't stupid; of course she knows there are many pickpockets on trains.
When she went to return the aluminum lunchbox to the dining car after finishing her meal, she borrowed a pair of scissors, took out a piece of clothing from her bundle, cut a piece of cloth, put the money in it, tied it around her waist, and covered it with two layers of clothing, so no thief could steal it.
As for the handkerchief containing the money...
Hehe~~ You dare steal from your grandma? Go eat shit!
The man had just subdued several thieves when he looked down and saw a handkerchief lying on the ground. He picked it up without thinking.
Inside was a note with a drawing of poop on it.
The painting was enormous and incredibly lifelike, with several flies depicted surrounding it, looking so real that it was hard not to associate it with that image.
The man's face immediately darkened.
Several railway police officers rushed over from behind him.
"Comrade, thank you so much! These thieves are all skilled fighters; we really couldn't have caught them without your help! Judging from your appearance, you must be a soldier!"
Before the man could even speak, the orderly behind him nodded eagerly, looking very proud.
"That's right, this is our regimental commander, Shen Huaichuan!"
