No sooner had that person finished speaking than a familiar voice came through, saying, "Officer, I'm not a thief. I'm here with my wife for a prenatal checkup. You've misunderstood!"
"How could it be a misunderstanding? You're holding someone else's lost mobile phone, and you're still trying to deny it? Come on! Come with me to the station!"
At this point, the crowd began to separate to the left and right, allowing the police to take the thief away.
Once the crowd parted, they discovered it was the policeman next to Li Yong, accompanied by Lin Dongzhe.
When Huang Ling saw that it was Lin Dongzhe, she panicked and hurriedly walked up to the policeman, saying, "Officer, do you remember me?"
The policeman glanced at Huang Ling and said, "Of course I remember! Aren't you the family member of our team leader's fellow patient?"
"Yes, yes, your captain's name is Li Yong!"
"Weren't you discharged from the hospital? Why are you back?"
"I accompanied my daughter to her prenatal checkup, and you arrested my daughter's son-in-law!"
"Ah! Your son-in-law? No way? Your son is a brave and righteous young man who broke both his legs chasing a thief. How could you let your daughter marry a thief?"
"Officer, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! He really did accompany my daughter to her prenatal checkup; the three of us came together!"
"Then why is he holding someone else's mobile phone?"
Huang Ling quickly turned to Lin Dongzhe and asked, "What exactly happened? Tell me!"
Looking embarrassed, Lin Dongzhe quickly said, "Mom, didn't Xiaoting go into the blood test room just now? Someone tugged at my sleeve, and when I asked him what he wanted, he said he had something cheap to sell me. I asked him what it was, and he said it was a mobile phone. When I heard that, I realized Xiaoting is pregnant, and it will be inconvenient for her to move around in the future, so I thought I'd buy her a mobile phone so I could contact her easily. Besides, five hundred yuan isn't expensive, so I bought it!"
The policeman rolled his eyes at Lin Dongzhe and said, "Five hundred? What are you thinking? Don't even mention five hundred, you can't even buy a mobile phone for fifty thousand these days!"
Lin Dongzhe blushed, stuck out his tongue, and said, "I'm sorry, I was confused and greedy for small gains, I'm sorry!"
Huang Ling quickly pleaded, "Officer, he was just confused for a moment, please let him off this time!"
"You were confused for a moment. This is worth tens of thousands of yuan, and it's illegal and a crime!"
At this moment, Zhuang Xiaoting was so frightened that she dared not utter a sound. She kept pulling Huang Ling, urging Huang Ling to plead for Lin Dongzhe.
"Officer, he's young and it's his first offense, please let him off this time!"
"Since this is your first offense and you seem to be admitting your mistake sincerely, how about this: come with me to the police station to register and explain the situation!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Ling quickly said, "Thank you, officer! Thank you so much, officer!"
"You're welcome. We're all in this together, police and civilians, it's just what we should do!"
As they spoke, the police took Lin Dongzhe away from the hospital.
Zhuang Xiaoting looked at Lin Dongzhe's retreating figure with a resentful expression and said, "What's wrong with Lin Dongzhe? He keeps causing problems one after another. If he keeps going like this, I can't take it anymore!"
Huang Ling quickly comforted her, saying, "Boys are bound to be naughty and make mistakes. When you're with him, don't scold or yell at him, but guide and instruct him to prevent him from making the same mistakes again!"
Zhuang Xiaoting pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "Shall we go back now?"
"The results aren't out yet! How can you go back? Go to your grandfather's ward to check on him, wait for the results, and then you can go back!"
After Huang Ling finished speaking, she went to the front desk to ask about the old man's ward, and then strode back and took Zhuang Xiaoting to the ward.
Back in the south, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying steamed buns early in the morning, preparing to open their shop and start making money.
Song Ying felt unwell all over, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
When guests arrived, Lin Wufeng helped Song Ying greet them and took a plate to serve the guests steamed buns.
At this moment, Song Ying leaned closer to Lin Wufeng and said, "Dad, look, there's someone over there who keeps staring at us. He won't leave, and he won't come over to eat. It's making me feel uneasy!"
Lin Wufeng quickly looked up and saw a man staring blankly at them, as if something was wrong. He quickly said to Song Ying, "Okay, I understand. Take this plate of buns to the guest at table number three. I'll go ask that man what's going on!"
After Lin Wufeng finished speaking, he took a plastic bag from beside the table, filled it with four or five steamed buns, and then ran to the other side, saying to the man, "What's wrong, buddy? Don't have money for food?"
The person standing opposite him was none other than Zhuang Tunan's cousin, Zhuang Zhennan. He had used his own money to buy a ticket to Guangzhou, and when he arrived in Guangzhou, he had very little money left. He wanted to spend a few 100,000-yuan bills, but when he opened the paper package, he found that it was just paper. He was very regretful at the time, hating himself for being greedy and not checking it. Besides, there was no time for him to check it at the time.
Today, he is homeless and wants to buy something to eat, but he has no money. So he can only watch others buy things, unable to afford them himself, yet unwilling to leave.
When the shop owner brought over a few steamed buns and asked him a question, he quickly replied, "I... I've run out of the money I brought from my hometown!"
Upon hearing that he recognized the man's accent as belonging to the same hometown, Lin Wufeng asked another question: "Are you from Suzhou?"
"right!"
What's your surname and given name?
My name is Zhennan!
"Your name is Zhuang Zhennan?"
"right!"
What is your relationship with Zhuang Tunan?
Zhuang Zhennan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Wufeng with extreme disbelief and said, "You, how do you know my cousin Zhuang Tunan!"
Lin Wufeng looked at Zhuang Zhennan with great surprise and said, "You're Zhuang Tunan's cousin? It's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together. Our family and your uncle's family are related by marriage. Zhuang Xiaoting married my son, Lin Dongzhe!"
"Right! I knew Sister Xiaoting got married, but I didn't expect your family to still have business here."
"Your aunt and I have been here for many years. Let's go! Let's go eat at the restaurant!"
At this moment, Zhuang Zhennan was very scared. Although he was very hungry, he was also afraid that Lin Wufeng would call his uncle's house. Once the two families got in touch, they would definitely know why he had come here.
Instead of going to dinner with Lin Wufeng, Zhuang Zhennan said to Lin Wufeng, "Uncle, can you help me find a job? I don't want to rely on others; I want to find a job to support myself!"
Lin Wufeng thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any jobs available here, but I can help you find one!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhennan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Uncle! You are like a second parent to me! If I couldn't find a job, I would have starved to death here!"
"What are you saying? Meeting me is like coming home. Don't worry, as long as your aunt and I have food to eat, you'll never go hungry!"
"Thank you. When can I start working?"
Lin Wufeng pointed to his snack shop and said, "Let's go! It's warm inside. Let's warm up together first, then we can talk about work!"
Perhaps feeling guilty, Zhuang Zhennan still didn't dare to go to the store, and said, "I won't go! I mainly want a job!"
Seeing that he couldn't get Zhuang Zhennan to cooperate, Lin Wufeng assumed that Zhuang Zhennan was introverted and timid, so he said, "Alright! You wait here for a while, I'll make a call over there and ask!"
"Thank you, Uncle!"
"Wait and see!"
"Um!"
Lin Wufeng handed the steamed buns he had brought to Zhuang Zhennan, then jogged across the street to head back to his dormitory.
Song Ying, puzzled, grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong? Who was that?"
"That's Tu Nan's cousin. He's having trouble finding work and wants me to find him one. I'll ask Ada if he can help him. If we can help him, we should! Otherwise, we'll be letting the farmers down!"
"Okay, let's make the call! Also, call Sister Ling while you're at it and ask her what happened. Let them feel at ease, so we can relax too!"
"Okay, I'm going to make the call now!"
"Um!"
