The man was taken aback by what he said, but the old woman next to him reacted quickly and hurriedly pulled the cloth bag in her arms to check her belongings.
Only when she pulled did she realize that her cloth bag had been cut with a large gash.
"Damn it, which thief cut open my bag and stole the tiger-head shoes I made!"
Upon hearing this, the man hurriedly checked his pockets and found them empty. He panicked instantly when he realized his wallet was gone.
"My money! My money!"
"That's all my possessions! Who stole my money?!"
Before the man could continue howling, the old woman had already rushed towards the woman who was already dumbfounded.
"You bitches, did you steal it? Did you steal it?!"
"Shameless! Those are little shoes I specially made for my eldest granddaughter. Give them back to me right now!"
The woman was instantly tackled to the ground by the older woman, who slapped her several times, causing the wallet that had been hidden in the woman's sleeve to fall to the ground with a thud.
The man next to him immediately lit up and pounced on him.
"My wallet!"
Good heavens, it really was this woman who stole it!
He was truly blind before; he even spoke up for them.
Upon seeing a wallet fall out, the old woman immediately pressed down on the woman and began groping her sleeves and pockets.
The woman wasn't stupid; she immediately fought back.
Fu Wan stood in front of the child who was slightly taller than Fu Ling, but despite the chaos in the car, the child's eyes showed no sign of panic.
She even tried to use her height advantage to run away from Fu Wan's legs.
However, Fu Wan was no pushover either, and grabbed his collar.
When the boy realized he couldn't escape, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly lunged at Fu Wan.
"You bitch, die!"
A glint of cold light flashed, and Bai Qianzhou, who had just subdued the thief, felt a chill run down his spine, his pupils shrinking slightly.
"Watch out, Wan!"
Fu Wan wasn't unaware of the danger. She quickly grabbed her bag and threw it in the direction the child was lunging at, then kicked him hard.
Damn it, no wonder she always felt something was off about this child; she finally understood when he spoke just now.
This isn't a child, it's clearly a grown man!
As for his height, it's most likely dwarfism, the kind where he'll never grow taller.
But that's not a reason for him to take advantage of the situation, disguise himself as a child, and steal things all over the train.
Fu Wan was quite strong, and she kicked the short man to the ground.
Seeing this, the other passengers rushed over to help, and in a few quick movements, they took the dwarf's knife and tied him up.
Soon, someone called the train conductors. After the several tall and burly conductors understood the situation, they tied up the three men, intending to hand them over to the police when the train was about to arrive at the next station.
Most of the items that the passengers had lost in the carriage were found on the three men.
This gang of thieves is really shameless; they steal anything and everything.
They stole the money wrapped in cloth, the decent cigarettes from the men's pockets, and of course, they didn't miss out on the new gadgets like pagers.
They even smuggled a bag of mountain produce that a middleman on the bus was planning to take to Guangzhou to sell.
As for the tiger-head shoes that were stolen from the old lady earlier, it was because they were wrapped in cloth. The woman thought they were wrapped with a bundle of ten-yuan bills, so she instructed the dwarf to cut open the old lady's bag and steal them.
Fu Wan was speechless after hearing this. The total value of everything in the carriage was over a hundred yuan, which should be enough for these three people to spend some time in jail.
For the rest of the day, the carriage was noticeably more lively than before. Although the three thieves had been caught, everyone was clearly scared and didn't dare to go to sleep without saying a word.
Even though the wind blowing into the carriage made me sleepy, I held my luggage bag tightly in my arms.
The passengers were extremely grateful for Fu Wan and her two companions' actions in catching the thief, and their repeated expressions of thanks made them feel embarrassed.
Especially the old lady who had been sitting on the small stool earlier, at lunchtime, took out a white steamed bun without saying a word and stuffed it into Fu Wan's hand.
“Girl, thank you so much. You have no idea how long it took me to make those shoes. I saved up the fabric and thread for half a year.”
If this gets stolen, I'll be too embarrassed to face my granddaughter!
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan quickly waved her hand and returned the steamed bun.
"Auntie, you can eat by yourself. I brought some food with me. Don't mention thanking me, just get your things back."
She saw it clearly: the old woman only had one white steamed bun in her bag, while she herself was eating a flatbread.
The old woman couldn't accept it back until Fu Wan took out the same white steamed buns that Ye Xiaocui had prepared for them. Only then did the old woman take her own buns back.
Not giving up after failing to deliver the steamed buns, the old lady turned around and pulled out a basket from under her seat, taking out three raw sweet potatoes.
This action surprised Fu Wan.
Her basket was full of sweet potatoes, so heavy, I don't know how she managed to get it onto the vehicle.
“Daughters, you are all good comrades. These are sweet potatoes that I grew myself. My son loves to eat them. I specially waited for the autumn harvest to dig up a big basket of them so that I could take them to Guangzhou for my son to try.”
"Eat up, it's so sweet!"
Looking into the old woman's hopeful eyes, Fu Wan couldn't bring herself to refuse.
She took the sweet potato, and without wiping it, took a bite.
"tasty!"
It is indeed very sweet, to be honest, much sweeter than the sweet potatoes grown in Fujia Village.
Seeing that Fu Wan liked it, Aunt Li's face immediately lit up with a proud smile.
As a farmer, nothing brings more joy than seeing others appreciate the fruits of your labor.
"You should try it too, it's really delicious."
Not only is it sweet, but it's also very crunchy. Fu Wan actually loves eating raw sweet potatoes. They don't need to be cooked. This kind of all-natural food has a top-notch taste and texture.
It's not just sweet potatoes; there are many other crops that are delicious to eat directly.
For example, white radishes after frost can have their outer skin peeled off by hand. Radishes after frost can be eaten raw without being spicy, but rather very sweet and refreshing.
Even in spring, when the spring breeze blows, the radish seedlings that couldn't be harvested in winter will sprout new shoots.
Pick these cabbages, peel off the outer skin, and eat them directly for a unique flavor.
"My daughter, my daughter!"
"Um?"
Fu Wan's thoughts were pulled back by Aunt Li, who mysteriously took out a handful of roasted beans from her bag.
"This is delicious too, you should try it. I made it myself."
Aunt Li really liked Fu Wan, especially since Fu Wan helped her find the tiger-head shoes she had painstakingly made. She wished she could give Fu Wan all the food she had brought with her.
Fu Wan felt embarrassed to keep eating Aunt Li's food, so she thought for a moment and then took out the flatbread prepared by Ye Xiaocui and the fish chili sauce from the factory from the bag containing the food.
"Auntie, you should try this too. This pancake was made by my mother, and the chili sauce is a specialty of our cannery. Although I didn't make it myself, it's still a small token of my appreciation."
