"Stop right there, you little bastard!"
I saw a middle-aged man chasing a ragged little boy.
The little boy's frail body was running desperately in front, and the middle-aged man was chasing closely after him.
"Bang!" The little boy lost his balance and fell two meters in front of Shen Qingli and the others.
The middle-aged man chased after the little boy and ran up to him.
"Run! Why don't you get up and run!" The middle-aged man cursed and kicked the little boy.
"Stop!" Zhao Xiufen couldn't bear it and stopped the middle-aged man.
"What kind of bitch is this to meddle in other people's business?" The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Xiufen impatiently.
"Who is this bitch scolding?" Shen Qingli didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but she definitely couldn't just sit back and watch the middle-aged man scold her mother.
"Bitch..." The middle-aged man just opened his mouth and then reacted and shut it immediately.
That was close, I almost scolded myself.
He looked up at Shen Qingli, and Shen Mingan and others beside her.
If the other side has more people, he will take on the challenge alone. He cannot use force or he will suffer losses.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man asked, "Who are you? What's your relationship with this little bastard?"
"It's not your business to worry about who we are, but why would a grown man like you hit a child so hard?" Zhao Xiufen had already helped the little boy up.
"I'm the deputy manager of the state-owned restaurant in front. This little bastard stole our guest's wallet." The middle-aged man said angrily.
Shen Qingli and others didn't expect that the little boy was actually a thief.
No wonder the middle-aged man chased him and beat him.
"You...really stole someone's wallet?" Zhao Xiufen asked the little boy in disbelief.
The little boy lowered his head and did not answer.
"Stealing is wrong. If you stole something, return the wallet to the owner immediately." Zhao Xiufen touched the little boy's head and said softly.
"If you ask him like this, he will definitely not admit it. Just search him. My customer's wallet is a white leather wallet." The middle-aged man frowned and said to the little boy.
"This little boy does have a scent that doesn't belong to him." 98K sniffed and said in Shen Qingli's mind.
"So...he really is a thief?" Shen Qingli looked the little boy up and down.
"Well! It's pretty close!" 98K nodded.
"Child, I know you must have your reasons for stealing wallets, but have you ever thought about the person whose wallet you stole? Maybe the money is their life-saving money?" Zhao Xiufen said earnestly.
Zhao Xiufen's words made the little boy react, and he looked up at the middle-aged man.
"The money in that wallet is indeed life-saving money. The customer's daughter is receiving treatment in the hospital, and she just withdrew this money from the bank." The middle-aged man spoke at the right time.
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, the little boy bit his lip, took out a white wallet from his chest, and slowly handed it to the middle-aged man.
After getting the wallet, the middle-aged man seemed to want to say something but hesitated. In the end, he said nothing and just turned and left.
The direction is exactly the direction of the state-owned hotel in front.
"I knew you were a good boy!" Zhao Xiufen looked at the little boy with satisfaction.
"Why did you steal someone's wallet? Where is your family?" Shen Qingli asked.
The little boy seemed to be frightened by Shen Qingli. He shivered and hid directly in Zhao Xiufen's arms.
Zhao Xiufen looked at the little boy cowering in her arms, her eyes full of love. "Don't be afraid, kid. I'm not a bad person! Tell me, what's your name? Who else is home? Why would you come out and steal a wallet?"
Zhao Xiufen's gentleness emboldened the little boy. He licked his cracked lips and said:
"My name is Xiaojiu, I'm twelve years old. All my family members died during the flood this year. Now it's just me and my sister, who depend on each other for survival. My sister fell ill a few days ago, and I need money for her medical treatment."
Xiaojiu's words softened Zhao Xiufen's heart. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and took out a red plaid handkerchief from her pocket.
This handkerchief is used by Zhao Xiufen to hold money.
Now the family's conditions have improved and they have more money because Shen Mingan and Shen Qingyu go hunting and sell on the black market.
So everyone brought some money with them when they went out this time.
After Zhao Xiufen took out the handkerchief, she opened it layer by layer, revealing a roll of money and food coupons inside.
Zhao Xiufen took out a big unity banknote from the roll of money, then wrapped the rest of the money in a handkerchief and put it in her pocket.
"Kid, take this money!" Zhao Xiufen stuffed the big unity into the little boy's hands.
The little boy looked at the money in his hand, then looked at Zhao Xiufen, and said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Zhao Xiufen smiled and touched the little boy's head. "Kid, remember, be a good person who obeys the law in the future!"
The little boy looked up at Zhao Xiufen and nodded solemnly.
"Here!" Shen Qingyang handed a bun to the little boy. "This is the vegetable and meat bun my mom made. It's delicious!"
The little boy reached out and took the cold but soft and delicious bun, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Child, are you hungry? Eat quickly!" Zhao Xiufen said gently.
"I'll take it back and eat it with my sister." The little boy swallowed his saliva as he smelled the fragrance of the buns.
"It would be great if there were two left, but unfortunately I ate the one just now." Shen Qingyang scratched his head regretfully.
"Ayang, get some oil paper and wrap the buns for Xiaojiu." Zhao Xiufen winked at Shen Qingyang.
"Hey!" Shen Qingyang responded, then lowered his head and took out a piece of oil paper from his shoulder bag.
This oil paper is exactly what was used to wrap the dumplings.
"Thank you!" Xiaojiu took the oil paper handed over by Shen Qingyang, wrapped the bun carefully, and stuffed it into his chest.
After stuffing the bun, Xiaojiu looked at Zhao Xiufen.
Zhao Xiufen waved at Xiaojiu and said, "Go back quickly and get the money to pay for your sister's medical treatment!"
Shen Qingyang also waved to Xiaojiu and said, "Goodbye!"
Xiaojiu bowed to the two of them, then looked at Zhao Xiufen deeply, turned around and left quickly.
Just as he turned around, he whispered something.
But the sound was too soft and no one present heard it.
"I'm sorry?" 98K muttered in Shen Qingli's mind.
"Why are you saying sorry to me for no reason? Have you done something to let me down?" Shen Qingli asked 98K in confusion.
"I didn't say sorry, it was Xiaojiu who said it just now." 98K raised his head and looked in the direction where Xiaojiu left.
Xiaojiu was no longer visible at this time.
I didn't expect this little guy to run so fast.
"Xiaojiu said sorry? Why should he say sorry?" Shen Qingli frowned.
Really?
