selling chili peppers in chronology

=============================

"What's wrong?" Chen Qian asked again.

The woman cried silently, with a look of despair on her face, "My money was stolen..."

Chen Chen, Chen Ming and Chen Qian all frowned. The money was stolen?

Chen Ming couldn't help asking: "Where was it stolen?"

The woman cried and said, "I checked it before I got in the car, but it disappeared just after I checked on the road."

Chen Qian asked suspiciously, "In the car?"

Woman: "I don't know..."

Children are the most sensitive. When a woman cries, the child also senses the sadness of his mother, and she wants to cry with her mouth pursed. The woman hurriedly wiped away her tears, and then patted the child on the back to take care of her, but the focus was not on the child, " More than 300 yuan, all of which were stolen..."

More than 300 yuan, can do a lot of things in this era, many people in the countryside may have never seen so much money, maybe it will be a lifetime possession.

Chen Ming was also very distressed, "Could it be misplaced? You can look for it carefully."

The woman shook her head in despair, "No, I've searched for it all, no..."

Chen Qian felt sorry, "Where did you keep your money?"

The woman pointed to the backpack hanging on her shoulder, "It's in the middle of this bag."

Chen Ming glanced at it and said, "I remember your bag was put under the seat..."

It was inconvenient for a woman to hold the baby when she got off the car, so Chen Ming bent down to help her lift it up.

The woman nodded, "That's it."

Chen Qian couldn't say enough, "Money is such an important thing, you put it in such a bag?"

The woman said with red eyes: "There is a small interlayer in this bag, and the rest are children's clothes. I thought others would definitely not go through it."

Chen Qian: "..."

Chen Ming: "..."

Chen Chen:"……"

Why are you so naive?

Needless to say, when Chen Chen went out, except for the dozens of emergency cash that he put away in several pockets, all the other money was deposited in the bank, and he took his passbook with him, so that even if he needed a lot of cash, he could go directly to the bank You don’t need to worry too much about money being stolen;

Although Chen Ming and Chen Qian brought money with them when they set off, they were all sewn directly inside the clothes, and they were sewn on the shoulders and inside the underwear. Chen Qian also put part of the money in the shoes, and put a pair of insoles on top, even if he took off the shoes, he would not be able to find the money in them without taking out the insoles.

They tried every means to hide money. As for the sacks, they were full of worthless things, even if they were robbed...

Well, it will hurt.

But not so distressed.

As a result, there is such a simple-minded woman who actually puts more than 300 yuan in such an obvious backpack, and dares to leave the bag and put it under the seat? !

After sitting in the car for such a long time, everyone was jolted into drowsiness. In addition, the sound of the bus driving is not small, and the sound made by some small movements will be perfectly covered, and the sleeping person will not be disturbed at all. After waking up, the quick pickpocket was almost sure of stealing.

The three brothers looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"It should have been stolen in the car." After a while, Chen Chen said, "There are a lot of people sleeping in the car, and those who specialize in stealing money are not slow, and it's impossible for people to find out."

The woman's eyes filled with tears again.

Chen Chen continued: "But now everyone has dispersed, and everyone doesn't know anyone, even if you want to look for it, you can't find it."

The woman started to cry again, and the child in her arms also cried. The mother and son were playing a duet, attracting people around to watch.

Chen Chen felt a little headache from her crying, and it was also embarrassing to be treated like a monkey. People who didn't know were already whispering and asking what was going on.

Chen Chen took half a step back vigilantly, Chen Qian leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother, what should we do now?"

Chen Ming was also asking: "Do you want to go back and help her find it? Maybe she got off the car and got on?"

Chen Qian seemed to see a ghost, "Brother Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Why did you come up with such a bad idea?

Of course, Chen Ming knew that it was impossible to get the money back, but the glances of "they bullied people" from the crowd around him still gave chills down the spine.

"You have to let her die."

Listening to the two of them discussing in a low voice, Chen Chen's voice became normal, "Sister, why don't we go to the police station with you to report to the police?"

The woman asked, "Can I get the money back?"

Chen Chen could only say: "I don't know about this, it depends on the police."

There are more and more people watching the excitement around, and the voice of the discussion is getting louder. The woman who was immersed in the pain of losing money finally realized that something was wrong around her. She hurriedly wiped her tears with her hands, and then shook her head and said: "No, I don't even know anyone, and I don't know who to check."

Chen Chen sighed, "Then you should be more careful next time, and don't carry so much money with you casually, or it will be easily stolen."

The woman said with difficulty: "...OK."

The spectators around finally understood vaguely, it turned out that the money was stolen!

Everyone gave sympathetic glances to the mother and child.

The money was stolen, so don't you cry!

It was going to be late in the sky, the woman hugged the child tightly, and she was still unwilling to reconcile after thinking about it, "I want to go to that car again to have a look."

Chen Qian felt that this woman would not give up until the Yellow River, Chen Chen thought that there were still staff in the station, and he was not afraid that the woman was plotting against them, so after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Then let's go and see with you. "

The woman thanked excitedly, "Thank you, thank you..."

Chen Chen smiled, "Let's go."

The woman walked with a little vain footsteps, and she could tell that the theft of the money had hit her hard. She entered the station with the last glimmer of hope, and the bus she was on just now was still inside. Only the doors are closed.She asked the staff to explain the situation clearly, and then got into the car to search, but after searching twice from the beginning to the end, there was no sign of money at all.

——Money, even if it was stolen, it wasn't accidentally dropped at all.

The woman got out of the car with a pale face, and if the station staff hadn't helped her quickly the moment she stepped off, she would have fallen straight down.

The woman cried again.

Chen Chen, Chen Ming, Chen Qian brothers and the staff member looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't know how to comfort her, they could only wait for her to finish crying.

Chen Qian scolded, "This person who steals/people's money really has a terrible death!"

The staff member said: "So when you go out, you still have to be careful. Many thieves will not let it go when they see the opportunity. I have encountered this kind of thing several times."

Chen Ming asked: "People in the car are often stolen?"

The staff nodded, "For a car like this that runs for more than seven or eight hours, people who get motion sickness are uncomfortable, even passengers who don't get motion sickness will be bored just sitting. Isn't that just sleep? But some people know how to hide money carefully. People who steal money can’t keep touching people’s underwear, it’s relatively safe. But if she puts money and valuables in her bag casually, and brings a white and fat child with her, it’s relatively safe to see It’s the kind of rich man, can pickpockets ignore them?”

Women are too weak in vigilance, or have no experience in this field, so they naively bring a lot of cash, and then put it so undefended in a backpack that is easy for others to get.

But at this moment the woman was crying sadly, she was already sad enough, and the few people couldn't bear to sprinkle salt on her wound, and their voices were quite low.

When the woman cried enough, she stood up, Chen Chen and the others fell silent.

The woman cried in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for accompanying me on this trip."

Several people hurriedly said, "You're welcome."

The woman pulled the corners of her mouth, trying to make a smile, but the expression on her face was more ugly than crying, "It's getting late, and I won't delay you, I'll go back now, and you should go back early too. "

"Don't delay." After a pause, Chen Chen said again: "Don't be too sad, just treat it as a lesson learned by spending money, remember not to bring so much cash when you go out in the future, even if you want to bring it, it will be hidden in case the thief easily touches it. out of reach."

The woman nodded slowly, "I really know next time."

According to the woman's previous behavior, if others helped her, she would invite someone to have a cup of tea at home, but this time she was terrified. I also want to avoid it, so in the end, I just thanked him again, said goodbye, and left by myself.

The master left, and it was impossible for Chen Chen and the others to stay at the station. By the way, they asked the staff member about the guest house, and then they also left.

On the way to the guest house, Chen Qian suddenly said, "Fourth brother, I suddenly understand why you put the money in the bank."

They came out this time to find a place to buy oil to discuss business. Oil is an expensive thing, and they need a large quantity. Once the negotiation is concluded and the contract is signed, they will have to pay a lot of money. If you really bring it in cash, you don’t know how to be on the road.

Of course Chen Chen knew what Chen Qian was talking about, "This is considered a benefit."

Chen Ming sighed: "No wonder grandpa was so worried when he left the village. It turns out that it's really not safe to take a car."

At that time, they were dazzled by the news of "going to the provincial capital". They were full of thoughts that they would see many things they hadn't seen before when they came to the provincial capital. Protect Chen Chen well, don't think about anything else, but in the end...

Someone's money was being stolen right under their noses, and they never noticed it the whole time.

"The main reason is that valuable and valuable things are easy to be stolen." Chen Chen said, "Others are not too dangerous. After all, it is impossible for the people in that car to kill everyone."

Chen Ming hummed, but his joy of coming to the provincial capital has been diluted a lot, and part of his energy was put on security precautions.

Chen Qian stroked his chin and asked Chen Chen: "Fourth Brother, how about I get a passbook too?"

"Yes." Chen Chen wished he could do this, "The bank will be controlled by the state, and it's really safe to put money in it. When the time comes, if you go out, you only need to bring your passbook, and you can go to the bank to withdraw as much money as you need when you use it." , it’s much safer than carrying cash tremblingly, and I can sleep with peace of mind.”

After what happened to the young woman, Chen Qian trusted the bank a lot after listening to Chen Chen's words, and his heart was a little moved, "Then go now?"

Chen Chen glanced at the time on the watch, "The bank should be off work by now, I'll go tomorrow."

Chen Qian was not in such a hurry, "Okay."
