Chapter 47 I misjudged you
Su Jin felt the thickness of the money; it was forty or fifty yuan, and she naturally put it into her pocket.
"Wait, isn't this bag yours?"
The girl in military uniform frowned deeply, her friendliness towards Su Jin turning into suspicion.
Su Jin replied, "No. I was also acting bravely and righteously."
Which good Samaritan would ask the victim for compensation after performing an act of heroism?
The thief was so angry he laughed. He finally understood why this little woman wouldn't let him go no matter what. So that's why!
This behavior is no different from stealing or robbing, except that it's done openly and honestly.
The girl questioned seriously, "How could you take this gentleman's money?"
Su Jin blinked in confusion, "Why can't I take this gentleman's money? Besides, this is what we agreed on beforehand."
The girl's face showed obvious anger as she turned to the owner of the purse, saying, "I caught the thief; you don't need to give her money."
The man naturally understood the girl's good intentions, but since the money had already been given, there was no way he could ask for it back.
Besides, it was indeed this girl who had been chasing the thief for so long; otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to step in and help.
Su Jin clutched her pocket. "This is an agreement between us. Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, perhaps you shouldn't get involved?"
She spoke with a half-smile, emphasizing the word "agreement".
The girl wanted to continue arguing, but the man didn't want them to start a fight, so he quickly spoke up, "You're both kind people who helped me, and I'm really grateful. The documents in the bag are very important; losing some money is nothing."
The following sentence was purely an explanation to the girl.
The situation is now quite clear: the man and Su Jin are both willing participants, so even if the girl feels that this behavior is wrong, she can't say anything more.
I misjudged you!
He said this to Su Jin with a cold face.
Su Jin didn't care at all about what a stranger thought of her and said goodbye to the man directly.
The girl stared intently at her receding figure, feeling angry but helpless.
The man, however, had a very clear understanding of the situation: "Actually, if it weren't for this woman, the thief would have run far away long ago."
His gaze fell on the thief, and he wished he could slap him a few times.
The girl finally looked away and stopped worrying about it; after all, she couldn't expect everyone to be virtuous.
"Come with me to the police station."
The man readily nodded in agreement, then asked, "Comrade, what's your name?"
They truly are comrades of the People's Liberation Army; we still need them in critical moments.
The girl said, "My name is Zhuo Lanyu."
"Comrade Zhuo, let's go then."
Zhuo Lanyu held the thief with one hand and walked with the man toward the police station.
"Thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty."
In the deserted alley, Su Jin counted the money she had received from the man.
No more, no less, exactly forty yuan.
She had just spent money on the black market and now she had income again, which was a good start.
After returning to the guesthouse, Su Jin took out clean underwear from her bundle, preparing to go to the bathhouse for a bath.
In the village, taking a hot bath in winter is simply impossible.
So besides exchanging food coupons and meat coupons on the black market, what she was also thinking about was bath coupons.
Now I can finally have my wish fulfilled and take a nice, relaxing hot shower.
