There were an unusually long number of people queuing at the train station. After waiting in line for about twenty minutes, the queue in front of Qian Jincai and Qian Niandi had only just been shortened by half. Qian Longfei felt uncomfortable staying in Qian Niandi's arms because the weather was too hot, over thirty degrees Celsius.
Qian Longfei was clamoring to get out of bed. Qian Niandi was a little tired after all the hard work, and she hadn't eaten for almost a day, so she couldn't hold on any longer. She could only put Qian Longfei down and hold his little hand tightly, fearing that he would break free.
At the same time, she had to constantly observe Qian Jincai through the two rows of people in the middle. She was not worried about Qian Jincai, but was keeping an eye on Sun Xiaohao, afraid that Qian Jincai would be irresponsible and lose his brother. She only hated herself for not having three heads and six arms.
Suddenly, a wailing voice rang out in front of the ticket window: "Where's my money? Where's my money? Oh my god, who the hell stole my money?"
When the others heard this, they unconsciously covered their money hiding places, fearing that they would also be robbed. At the same time, the people behind them lost their patience due to the long queue, and someone said unkindly to the people in front: "Are you going to buy tickets or not? If not, make room!"
Some people also spoke up for the old lady who lost the money: "Everyone, please be more tolerant. She is so old, and losing money is already quite pitiful. Please be polite when speaking to her!"
Someone retorted, "You're so kind, why didn't you give her the money for the ticket? Why are you pretending to be a good person?"
But soon, the ticket seller said, "Auntie, please look carefully around to see if you forgot your money somewhere else. Let the person behind you buy the ticket first!"
The old lady who lost her money was still standing there, crying, "I finally got here in line, but I didn't expect I couldn't buy a ticket. Look, there's a big cut on my bag. I put my money here. Woohoo! It's a hundred yuan, just given to me by my son. It's not easy for him to earn it! And I lost it like this. How can I go home?"
The ticket seller was also annoyed by the noise, and his tone hardened. He said, "This is your own negligence, it has nothing to do with us. If you don't have money to buy a ticket, go to the back first and don't waste other people's time!"
The old lady wanted to continue nagging at the front, but the people behind her would not let her go. The people in front of her pushed her out of the line. She wanted to rejoin the line, but she had no money to buy a ticket, so queuing was futile. In the end, she could only leave the line crying and wiping her tears.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the back of the team, she was grabbed by a small hand. It was Sun Xiaohao who had been observing the situation.
She looked up at the old lady and said, "Grandma, don't cry. My dad has money. I'll ask him to buy you a ticket!"
The old lady looked at the plump and fair Sun Xiaohao, and her crying subsided a little. She said, "Good boy, grandma knows you have good intentions. Alas, it's also grandma's fault. I didn't know there were bad guys in the train station, and I didn't protect my bag well."
Sun Xiaohao continued, "Grandma, you better be careful next time. Do what my uncle did and sew the money into his pants. Who can steal it? When we left home, my grandma was worried about theft. She gave my uncle several hundred yuan, leaving enough for the ticket and sewing the rest into his pants!"
The old lady quickly covered Sun Xiaohao's mouth and said to him, "Don't tell anyone about this, or you might get targeted by bad guys. Grandma can't buy a ticket today. I have to find the police and ask them to return my money. You should also go find your family quickly and don't get lost!"
Sun Xiaohao watched the old lady go to find the train station staff, but he didn't follow her. Instead, he walked forward along the line and found Qian Jincai. He said, "Dad, an old lady just lost her money, didn't you know? You better keep an eye on your money. If you lose it, we won't be able to go to grandma's house!"
Qian Jincai was getting a little impatient waiting in line and said unhappily, "I know, I know. Do I need you to remind me?"
Seeing that Qian Jincai had lost all patience, Sun Xiaohao said, "Dad, are you tired? How about I help you line up while you find a place to sit and rest for a while?"
Although Qian Jincai also wanted to find a place to rest, he really didn't trust Sun Xiaohao, a young child, to queue up. So he said, "Come on, forget it! You're the only one waiting in line. You'll be dragged out in less than two minutes. Go do what you need to do and don't run around. I won't be responsible if you get lost."
Sun Xiaohao could only shut up and watch the man's movements. Just then, under Sun Xiaohao's watchful eye, this man had slashed a sliver of someone's wallet. Before Sun Xiaohao could see how he'd done it, the money had been snatched out and quickly stuffed into his own pocket. This looked like the same method used to steal from the old lady, with the victim completely unaware.
Just now when Sun Xiaohao was talking to the old lady, the man was very close to them. He listened to what Sun Xiaohao said and even looked at Sun Xiaohao on purpose. When Sun Xiaohao went to find Qian Jincai, the man followed behind.
Soon, someone squeezed through the line and pushed Qian Jincai back, saying, "Brother, please let me pass!" Then he cut in line in front of Qian Jincai with no intention of leaving.
Qian Jincai was very dissatisfied with this sudden attack. Seeing that the other party was thin and weak, and was a head shorter than him, he instantly felt emboldened. He hit the other party back with his hand and said, "You don't have eyes, do you? There are so many people queuing behind you, and you dare to cut in line? Go to the back of the line!"
Without warning, the short man yelled, "Brother, someone hit me!"
As the voice fell, two strong men came over quickly and dragged Qian Jincai out of the line and all the way out of the ticket hall. When they got outside, one of the strong men loosened Qian Jincai's collar, pushed him to the ground, and said, "Open your dog eyes and look carefully. This is my brother. Do you dare to bully him? You have to ask me first if I agree."
The strong man then said to the short man, "Where did that bastard hurt you just now? Is it serious?"
The short man immediately fell to the ground and cried out in pain. The man who had just walked out of the ticket hall happily looked like he had suffered a fatal injury in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Qian Jincai realize that he had encountered a gang. However, if he had fought the skinny guy alone, he was confident that he could win. But now with two strong men joining in, he was afraid that he would be beaten into a meat pie.
After recognizing the current situation, Qian Jincai immediately gave in: "Brother, let's talk it over. Don't use force!"
The other party was very satisfied with Qian Jincai's cowardly look and said, "We are not unreasonable brothers, but my brother's injury cannot be in vain. What do you think we should do?"
Qian Jincai naturally knew what the other party meant and said, "You, what do you think we should do?"
The strong man said: "Eight hundred yuan, we will take my brother to the hospital ourselves, and it won't take up your time!"
