"Where's my money? I checked it just a while ago. How could it be gone? That damned thief! I've saved up for three years just to be able to go home once in a while!"
The sound of her crying moved all who heard it to tears.
Meanwhile, many people quickly searched their pockets to see if they still had the money for their tickets.
As they searched, several more people started calling out.
It seems this thief stole from more than one person while there were many people around.
Zhao Qinglan became nervous watching this and couldn't help but remind her husband to check if the money was still there.
Although Li Huai was also distressed for the people who had lost their money, his wife reminded him, and he said helplessly, "If I let a thief get close and steal something, I might as well quit being a soldier."
He is very vigilant.
Moreover, when that person shouted, his hand subconsciously touched the money in his pocket, so it was clear that it was still there.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, thieves and other petty thieves have become more rampant.
Perhaps because of the shouts of a few people, two railway police officers wearing red armbands arrived shortly afterward. They would occasionally circle around, their eyes like searchlights, staring at any suspicious person. This finally made the thief hiding in the crowd a little more afraid.
Zhao Qinglan and her group were lucky. When they arrived at Li Huai's place, there were still three sleeper berths left on the train to the capital. It was enough for the two adults and three children.
Li Huai quickly took out his money and bought them all.
The only drawback is that the three berths are not connected; two are bunk beds together, and the other is in a different carriage.
Zhao Qinglan thought that if all else failed, she could try to find someone to switch with once she got on the bus.
Although Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai felt sorry for the person who lost money and couldn't go home, they didn't do anything out of kindness.
However, on the way back, Zhao Qinglan also gave the thief a good scolding.
