Chapter 13 Cousin
"Thank you, but no thanks. I can walk back by myself." Su Jiaojiao refused directly and turned away.
In her previous life, she did not go to the morning market to sell conchs, nor did she go to the big market to sell hair flowers, but went directly to work in a garment factory.
Unexpectedly, I met Qin Xiuming again and again.
She didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Qin Xiuming said nothing, shrugged his shoulders, started the car, and sped towards the market.
If you don’t want to go, then don’t go.
If his wallet hadn't been stolen, he would have had no reason to invite a strange girl into his car.
"Over there, she's over there!" Li Li finally led her men after them. Seeing Su Jiaojiao, she hurried forward and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Su Jiaojiao shook her head and handed the wallet in her hand to Li Li. "This is your wallet. Count it and see if it's right!"
Then he raised his hand and pointed to the alley, "They are inside the alley."
"Two female comrades, go back to the guard post and wait." The security captain said, and quickly led his men over. A moment later, one or two screams were heard in the alley: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, we won't dare to do it again!"
"Thank you!" Li Li took the wallet, looked around the alley, and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Su Jiaojiao's pale face, she quickly reached out to support her and asked with concern, "Can you walk? Do you want to rest for a while?"
It’s quite far from Daji to here.
The little girl has worked so hard!
"Yes!" Su Jiaojiao finally came to her senses and said calmly, "Let's go back!"
"What should I call you?" Li Li still held her arm.
"My last name is Su." Su Jiaojiao reminded Li Li, "Hurry and check your wallet."
"It's okay, not a cent is missing." Li Li opened it and took a look, continuing to hold Su Jiaojiao's arm. "Just now, when I went to Weiminshao to inform them, they were arresting people at Manda Market. Several people had their wallets stolen at the market today. Even the person in the pickup truck just now had their wallets stolen. I told them that the thief ran this way, so they chased after us."
Su Jiaojiao said "Oh", no wonder she ran into Qin Xiuming and the others.
"My colleague has already gone back. I asked that old lady to look after my bike for me." Li Li felt a sense of sympathy for Su Jiaojiao and held her hand affectionately. "That old lady must be worried about you."
There are not many people at the market anymore.
Aunt Liu stood anxiously in front of the stall, looking around. When she saw Su Jiaojiao, she came over happily: "Xiao Su, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Su Jiaojiao forced a smile, "Don't worry, Auntie, they've caught them all."
"Auntie, we're so lucky to have met Xiao Su." Li Li looked at her lost wallet and turned from anger to joy. She pushed her bicycle and said, "Let's go to the Weimin Sentry Post to ask about the situation."
"I've been going to the market for so many years, and this is the second time I've encountered something like this. Last time, I couldn't get my wallet back." Aunt Liu got angry every time she thought about it. "Thieves, they should be locked up for a few more months. How despicable!"
Su Jiaojiao took a few steps and felt a slight pain in her ankle. She must have twisted her ankle.
It's strange. I didn't feel it just now, but now it starts to hurt.
The guard post consisted of two tin houses, located right in the middle of the market. It wasn't far away. When the three of them arrived, the security captain was already waiting for them. He said with a smile, "The two thieves have been taken to the police station. You can go there and have those who need to give statements take their statements, and those who need to collect their wallets collect their wallets. The others have already gone, so you can just go over there."
Then he turned to Su Jiaojiao and said, "Xiao Su, you are a great person. If everyone is as brave as you, our market will be clean and bright."
"It's my duty." Su Jiaojiao bent down and rubbed her ankle, then said to Li Li, "Sister, please take Auntie there. I won't go."
"Okay, go back and have some rest." Li Li and Aunt Liu were both a little embarrassed and said in unison, "Today's incident is all thanks to you!"
"This gang of thieves is very cunning. I've been wanting to bust them all for a long time. It's all thanks to Xiao Su." The security captain grinned and said, "Which village is Xiao Su from? I'll send a banner to your village."
"Captain, if you really want this for my own good, don't publicize it." Su Jiaojiao said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. Besides, this is not my credit alone."
Make her an example of catching thieves.
And then make all the thieves hate her to the core?
If she gets robbed on the street, who can she turn to for justice? Don’t be ridiculous!
"Sorry, sorry, it was my negligence." The security captain realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed his tone. "Don't worry, no one will know about this anymore. From now on, you can set up a stall at this market and we won't charge any fees."
As he spoke, he took out a fancy business card and handed it to her, "If you need any help, just come to me."
"Thank you, Captain Sun!" Su Jiaojiao took it and took a look. His name was Sun Ping. He was not from the police station, but from the village committee of the nearby Tishan Village. Li Li took Aunt Liu to the police station. Sun Ping locked the door and said he was off work.
It was already past one in the afternoon and there was almost no one in the market. Only a few vegetable stalls had not yet packed up, and the sellers were still bargaining with the old men and women. The old men and women waited until the market was over to buy cheap vegetable leaves to feed the chickens and ducks. Generally, they would buy half and give half away, which was very cheap.
Su Jiaojiao rested for a while on the side of the road and walked back slowly.
After walking a few steps, I couldn't walk anymore.
My ankle hurts again.
She had no choice but to sit on the curb to rest, looking at Tishan Village not far away. She thought about going to the village to find a public phone to call Chen Guilan and ask her to come and pick her up. But then she thought, there wasn't even a bicycle at home, so she had to borrow one from her second uncle's house.
Su Jiaojiao then remembered that her second uncle was also at the market. She had never thought of looking for him, and besides, at this time, her second uncle had already returned home.
In the 1990s, transportation in Jiaoxian County was not well developed. The city buses did not run to the countryside and only operated in the county town.
She did remember that there was a minibus that ran around their Wutong Village, and there was only one trip in the afternoon. As long as she could take it to the village entrance, she would have nothing to worry about. She had originally planned to wait until the market was over and then go to Hualian Shopping Mall to buy some cloth, but after she twisted her foot, she couldn't go anywhere.
A motorcycle with smoke coming out of it stopped in front of her. The man took off his helmet, revealing a head of yellow hair, and looked down at her: "Jingjiao, are you okay? I'll take you home!"
When she saw that the person coming was Liang Kun, Su Jiaojiao's face turned cold: "I don't need you to send me off."
She would rather jump into the river than get engaged to Liang Kun.
She didn't even want to see this family again.
"Jiaojiao, there's no rush for us. Think about it carefully. I'm sincere to you." Liang Kun got off the motorcycle, stood in front of her, and reached out to pull her. "I heard from my mom that you were at the market, so I came all the way here to look for you. I didn't expect to actually run into you."
As soon as Su Xiumei got home, she told Xu Yuxiang and Feng Yuefen what happened at the fair, and said that Su Jiaojiao was an unlucky person.
He rushed over after hearing what they said.
"None of your business is my business." Su Jiaojiao shook off his hand and said seriously, "Cousin, please be respectful."
In her previous life, when she went to work at Jiali Garment Factory, Liang Kun came to see her several times.
She avoided him and there was nothing he could do.
Later, she went to the imperial capital and finally got rid of him completely.
