Chapter 138 A False Alarm
Zhong Hui clutched the bag tightly in her hand, not daring to look back, and ran quickly into the bank with her head down.
She ran faster and faster. Thanks to her recent diligent running, Zhong Hui didn't find it that strenuous to run. Just one minute felt like a century. When she ran into the bank and saw the security guard at the door, the tension in Zhong Hui's heart finally relaxed.
"What happened? Do you need help?" the security guard came forward and asked with concern.
Zhong Hui pointed outside with lingering fear: "It seems like someone is following me."
Zhong Hui had been coming to the bank to deposit money for the past few days, and the security guards all knew her. Upon hearing this, they hurried out, and Xi Zhou looked around.
It was not yet time to get off work, so there were not many people at the bank entrance. Even if there were, they were just a few passers-by.
The security guard looked at it suspiciously, then turned back to the bank and said, "There's no one suspicious."
"I've felt like someone is following me these past few days, but I can't see them anymore when I turn around." Zhong Hui frowned. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
The security guard didn't know what to do and just reminded Zhong Hui to be careful when she came to deposit money.
Zhong Hui thanked him, deposited the money and went back quickly.
"Brother, that woman has discovered us, what should we do?" In an alley not far from the bank, two men wearing baseball caps talked in low voices.
The middle-aged man in Beijing, known as Big Brother, took a puff of his cigarette irritably and said, "Forget it."
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." The younger ones were a little unwilling.
"Forget it, what else can we do? That woman is on guard, and we won't get any good out of it."
"Oh, what a bummer."
They finally found a fat sheep, but couldn't slaughter it yet. They had been eyeing that small supermarket for several days. The supermarket business was so good, so it must have a lot of working capital.
After a few days of waiting, they finally found out that they had to go to the bank to deposit money at 6:30 every afternoon. The woman in front was accompanied by a big guy every day, so they didn't dare to do anything. Finally, they waited until this one was left alone. She didn't want to run away so quickly.
The older man's dark face showed reluctance. After thinking it over again and again, he finally gave up.
"Forget it. We're out here working, and our wives and children are waiting for us at home. If we really go to jail, how will they survive?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."
"I'd better find a factory job and earn some money, so I can buy new clothes for my family when I go back for the New Year."
"Yes, my daughter asked me to bring her a baby."
When talking about their families, the two newly arrived workers no longer wanted to commit robbery.
Although money comes quickly, you have to be lucky enough to spend it.
Zhong Hui went back and told Aunt Meihua about this. Aunt Meihua was also shocked: "You should save money in the future and ask your uncle Xiuye to follow you. Our place is slowly developing now, and we have all kinds of people here."
"It just so happens that Xiao Nie will be back to work tomorrow. I have to remind her to let Zheng Benming go with her when she goes to save money next time."
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Aunt Meihua cursed a few more times, saying that petty thefts are really rampant nowadays.
After this incident, although it was a false alarm, Zhong Hui was still frightened. She called Zhong Ping again and asked her to ask someone to go with her when she went to deposit the money.
Only after Zhong Ping agreed did Zhong Hui feel relieved.
When she returned home in the evening, Zhong Hui ate her meal and went back to her room to lie down early. After what happened in the afternoon, Zhong Hui's heart had never calmed down.
Lying on the bed, somehow, she remembered what Zhao Jilin asked her today.
Zhong Hui asked herself, does she want to find another partner and give Linlin a complete family?
