After understanding the situation, we made a simple record and offered some comfort. We also went to other carriages to look for the man based on his physical description.
However, everyone knows that those who steal on trains usually work in groups of several people who travel around committing crimes.
Once they've succeeded, they should get off the bus.
Therefore, the possibility of getting the money back is extremely slim, almost zero.
What else could I do but accept my bad luck?
The old lady silently wiped away her tears, crying very sadly.
"It's also my fault. I lacked any depth and acted like I was at home even in the car."
"Mom, how can this be your fault? If anyone is to blame, it's me. I was too careless."
Seeing them looking like wilted eggplants, Gu Wei also spoke up to offer a few words of comfort.
"None of you are at fault; the thief is to blame."
The other passengers were also talking about it.
Both mother and son felt much better immediately.
After a while, the girl next to him came back from the restroom, but instead of returning to her previous seat, she sat down next to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei turned and looked at her in surprise.
The little girl carefully handed over a few folded bills, saying, "Comrade, here's two yuan."
Gu Wei never dreamed that such a thing would happen.
"Thank you so much, but I still have money."
The young girl probably realized that what Gu Wei said was true, and shyly hummed in agreement before getting up and going back.
This scene evoked various thoughts and reflections from the other passengers.
Because of the theft, people were wide awake for the rest of the journey and dared not fall asleep.
Gu Wei, however, slept on and on.
The morning sunlight streamed into the car through the windows.
Gu Wei also woke up.
He noticed that the old woman and the man opposite him had red and swollen eyes, large blisters on their lips, and looked extremely haggard.
Anyone who encountered something like this would probably be anxious and upset.
Afterwards, Gu Wei pretended to go to the restroom and returned to the modern world.
After relieving himself in the restroom, he found some money and took it with him.
The train slowly pulled into the provincial capital station.
Gu Wei, carrying two handbags, followed the old lady and the man as they got off the car.
"Auntie, brother, here's twenty yuan for you to buy some food."
The man was deeply moved, but he reached out to refuse, saying, "We can't take your money!"
The old woman, tears streaming down her face, whispered, "Actually, I hid some money somewhere else. Even if I can't go to Beijing for medical treatment, I still have enough for the train ticket back..."
"Take it, consider it a loan."
Gu Wei only gave the money because he felt sorry for the mother and son.
Otherwise, I would feel really bad about it.
After all, he has plenty of money.
However, three hundred yuan is too much; he can't possibly give it to him.
They're just strangers I met by chance; giving them too much might arouse suspicion.
The man wiped his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Alright, brother, I'll accept it for now. My name is Chen Dongyue. I remember you said you work at a timber processing plant, right? May I ask your name?"
