Two girls rushed over to thank them, but after saying a few words, they were stunned.
"You, you're the comrade from the oxcart just now?"
Jian Dan has always been face-blind, and doesn't pay much attention to people she's just met. It wasn't until they mentioned the oxcart that she realized, "Hey, this outfit looks like I just saw it before."
"...Oh, really! Your stuff?"
Have they all been found?
The two girls were filled with gratitude, and as they spoke, they choked up.
"This is all the stuff I had when I went to the countryside. I was just thinking of buying two big flatbreads, and I was trying to avoid people. Who knew that I would be targeted like this?"
"If it weren't for you, I would have gone hungry tonight."
Both girls were very thin, one was a little taller, and had a somewhat heroic air about her.
The one who lost the money was petite; her arms, visible through her sleeves, were very thin, indicating that she didn't get enough nutrition.
"My name is Wen Yan, and this is Lin Nan. We are neighbors. We will be working in Liujiatun in the countryside from now on. Comrade, are you also from Liujiatun?"
Just as Jian Dan was about to speak, she heard a commotion, as if they were coming this way.
Turning her head, she saw that Cheng Yuanshan was indeed coming towards her.
"Xiao Jian, it's you again? Just now, the crowd brought that habitual offender over, and they said a young woman had done a good deed. I even told them, 'Even if she's young, can she be younger than you?'"
"How come it really is you?"
Jian Dan was speechless; she didn't want to encounter such a thing, did she?
"Uncle Cheng, why did you, a bureau chief, come all the way here in person for such a small matter?"
Cheng Yuanshan really was just passing by.
"I don't have that much free time. I was just passing by."
Alright, I'm leaving now. You should go back too.
"When will you have time to visit? The old lady keeps talking about you."
The two girls were stunned. Behind Cheng Yuanshan were two uniformed police officers.
Upon further inquiry, it was learned that the bureau chief had acted bravely and righteously.
Suddenly, even the simplest look in their eyes held a newfound respect.
Are these people from the village? Do they have such strong connections?
On her way back, Jian Dan noticed that the two girls were looking at her in an increasingly strange way.
She turned her head, and the two girls immediately turned their heads away, seemingly not wanting her to know.
When she turned back, they secretly watched her again.
For a moment, she didn't know whether to pretend she knew or not.
Back on the oxcart, he handed the oil-paper wrappers of vegetable buns and flatbread to Liu Weimin and Uncle Liu, and then simply sat down by the oxcart and waited quietly.
Nearly an hour later, a few figures finally came into view in the distance.
