As the night darkened, the noisy carriage gradually became quiet. It was dinner time, and the announcement rang, asking passengers who needed a meal to go to the dining car in Car No. 9 in the middle of the train.
Su Aimin and his daughter traveled lightly and did not bring any dry food, so they planned to go to the dining car to have something to eat.
Qi Chu thought for a while. If the father and daughter left, he would have to stay alone in the carriage with the woman on the bunk. He felt a little uncomfortable and hurriedly said: "I happen to be a little hungry too, why don't we come together?"
"Okay." Su Aimin smiled.
After the three people left the compartment, the woman who was lying quietly on the upper bunk and seemed to be sleeping suddenly sat up.
Su Aimin and the other three walked to the dining car while chatting and laughing, and looked at the dishes. Today's dinner included four dishes and one soup, including shredded pork with green pepper, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded sweet and sour potatoes, four-year-old meatballs and a The vegetable soup looks good.
To buy food, you need to buy a meal ticket before you can go get food. A meal ticket costs one yuan, which is not cheap.
In addition to these, there are also lunch boxes in aluminum boxes. Two-thirds of the rice plus a few slices of red sausage and a handful of shredded potatoes are a meal. The price is relatively cheap, only 40 cents. The flight attendant is loading it into the car, preparing each section. Carriages are pushed for sale.
Cheaper lunch boxes are the choice of most people, but Su Aimin didn't even look at the lunch boxes. He directly took Su Qingyun to buy meal tickets. They were all out. He must eat something good. He still didn't have enough money for this. Short.
"Three meal tickets?" the flight attendant asked.
The three of them nodded. Su Aimin touched the bag and his expression changed, "Oops!"
"What's wrong dad?"
"The money is still on the bunk." Su Aimin slapped his head, what kind of memory did he have!
"Yunyun, wait a moment, dad will go back and get it."
Qi Chu hurriedly said: "Brother Su, how about I treat you to this meal? Don't bother." He took out his wallet. He had a good impression of the two father and daughter, and he was also happy to treat them to a meal.
"How can this be done? I'll go back and get it. I'll be here soon. You guys sit down and wait for me." After Su Aimin finished speaking, he walked back.
Su Qingyun frowned, thinking of the woman left in the compartment, she was a little worried, "Uncle Qi, I'll go back and take a look too, you can eat first."
"Don't worry, I'll come with you." Qi Chu obviously thought of something.
The two of them quickly walked back to their own car. Before they arrived, Su Qingyun heard her father's voice.
"I'll say it again! Give me the money!" Su Aimin scolded angrily, "Don't think that because you are a woman, I won't dare to do anything."
Su Qingyun's expression changed and he stepped forward quickly, "Dad, what's going on?"
In the compartment, the woman on the upper bunk came down. She held a bulging bag tightly in her hand and looked at the three of them warily.
Su Aimin's face looked very ugly at the moment. He pointed at the woman and gritted his teeth and said: "As soon as I came back, I saw her secretly stuffing money into her bag. When I looked again, the money I put under the pillow was gone. She That stuff in the bag must be my money! This is a thief!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're such a slanderer!" The woman glared at Su Aimin and immediately retorted, "You just think I'm a woman, I have so much money, you have evil thoughts, and you dare to slander me! Shameless!"
She yelled so loudly that it could be heard in both carriages. Soon, people gathered around to watch the fun.
"What are you doing?"
"The man said that the woman stole money, but the woman refused to admit it and said that he had wronged her."
"No, this woman looks so well-dressed, there's no need to steal money, right?"
"That's true, but this man, tall and thick, doesn't look like a good person."
Hearing everyone's discussion, the woman straightened her back and became more confident. She raised her chin and said, "Come and judge me. This eldest brother is in the opposite bed. When I got in the car, he asked his daughter to switch with me. He just gave up the bed. He just saw me stuffing money into my bag. I must have stolen the money from him. What a joke. Look at what we are wearing. Am I stealing his money?"
Everyone looked at her and then at Su Aimin, "Yes, this woman is much better dressed than him, how could she steal his money?"
"Could it be that he has evil intentions on his own?"
Qi Chu frowned when he heard this. Based on the previous contact, he didn't believe that Brother Su was this kind of person.
"Shut up, everyone!" Su Qingyun listened with a cold face for a long time, then suddenly shouted angrily, "If you speak for her like this, you are not in the same group, are you?"
What she said made everyone sneer and dare not speak easily.
Su Qingyun looked at her father, "Dad, how much money do you have in your bag?"
"The total is one thousand three hundred and fifty-eight yuan and forty cents." Su Aimin blurted out without thinking. Su Qingyun was right. Su Aimin brought all his wealth with him this time. He counted it several times before getting in the car. , absolutely not wrong.
"My dear, it's more than a thousand!"
"It's really brave to dare to carry such a large amount of money with you."
Many people took a breath of cold air, so much money? No wonder some people have evil intentions.
But the woman said calmly: "There is indeed more than a thousand yuan in my bag, but it is all my money. You must know the approximate amount when you saw it just now, but it is not more than 1,300 yuan. This bag of mine There are a thousand and four in it."
Su Qingyun raised the corners of his lips and sneered, "One thousand and four?" I'm afraid only those few dozen dollars are hers.
She looked at the proud-looking woman steadily and asked again, "Are you really sure that all the money in this is yours?"
"Of course." The woman said without thinking. She looked at Su Qingyun and said mockingly: "Little girl, you followed your father to deceive and kidnap her at a young age. Why don't you learn a little better?"
Qi Chu's face was worried, "Don't speak too harshly. I believe Brother Su and the others are not innocent people. If it's really the money you stole, I advise you to return it to them quickly!"
The woman looked at him in astonishment, suddenly laughed loudly, and said to the crowd of onlookers: "Hahahahahaha! You think it's not funny, we all met on the train, in the same compartment, and the three of them actually got together. It is really unjust and lawless for my son to embarrass me, a woman!"
"Seeing that you are dressed like a dog, I thought you would say something fair, but I didn't expect that you are all in the same group!" The woman took a sip at Qi Chu with contemptuous eyes.
Qi Chu's face was ugly, but he couldn't say anything more. He was afraid that the woman would catch him and make more mistakes.
"Forget it about me, how dare you talk about my daughter!" Su Aimin reacted and became furious. Regardless of the fact that she was just a woman, he stepped forward and slapped her.
Su Qingyun, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed him and said, "Dad, don't be impulsive, or you may fall into her trap!"
Sure enough, the woman started shouting again, "Look, I'm going to hit someone now. If you don't bully me, what are you doing?"
Su Qingyun laughed softly at this moment, and the woman was stunned for a moment. What was this girl's reaction?
"You don't have to be so loud. It doesn't matter who speaks louder. Since you insist on saying that this is your money, well, there are police officers on the train. Just ask the police officers to come over."
Upon hearing this, the woman's expression changed slightly, and Su Qingyun did not miss it.
The woman only panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down again. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Who is afraid of whom? Just scream." She didn't believe it. Can they really prove that the money is theirs?
"I'll call you." Immediately some onlookers said, watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
Su Aimin and the woman glared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. He had never seen a woman who could confuse right and wrong like this. She was really crazy today!
Su Qingyun's face was indifferent, and he even had the time to read two more pages of the book. Seeing how calm she was, Qi Chu became interested. How could she prove that the money belonged to her father?
Soon, two uniformed policemen came. On the way, the enthusiastic citizen had already told the whole story. When they heard that more than a thousand yuan was involved, they were both shocked. This was not a small matter. number.
The leading police officer looked at Su Aimin, then at the woman, frowned and said seriously: "You both said the money is yours?"
"Of course! It's mine!" the woman said first.
"It's mine!" Su Aimin glared.
The police officer looked at the bag in the woman's hand and stretched out his hand, "Give me the bag first."
The woman hesitated for a moment, then handed it to the police officer.
The police officer opened the zipper and took a look. Good guy, such great unity really costs more than a thousand yuan! He paid more attention to it. One of these two people must be lying!
He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Since you all say that the money is yours, is there any way to prove it?"
"Leader!" Before Su Aimin could say anything, the woman laughed, "The money is in my bag, and I still need to prove that the money is mine? Isn't this funny?"
Su Qingyun raised his eyes, "So you can't prove it, right?"
"I don't believe you can prove it?"
"Of course I do." Su Qingyun smiled slightly.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at her mockingly, and said sarcastically: "Little girl, you won't call it twice later in the hope that the money will give you a promise, right?"
She had seen clearly just now that there were no marks on the money.
The woman's words caused a burst of laughter.
Su Qingyun still smiled and asked the woman, "You just said that my father saw you put the money in your bag, right?"
"Yes." The woman nodded.
"I didn't see it, did I?"
"No."
Su Qingyun continued to ask: "I haven't come across that money yet, right?"
"No! What on earth do you want to say?" The woman became impatient.
"Thank you for your answer." Su Qingyun smiled, turned to her father and said, "Dad, you said the total money is one thousand three hundred and fifty-eight yuan and forty cents, right?"
"That's right." Su Aimin was also confused, what exactly did he want to say?
Su Qingyun thought for a while, "Then when you go out this morning, you should have one thousand three hundred and fifty-nine yuan with you. Our fare to the county is 30 cents. The steamed buns and porridge we ate this morning, a total of It cost 40 cents. When you paid the bill, there were only two 10-cent bills, so you gave one 50-cent bill, and the boss gave you a 10-cent bill, right?"
She said a lot of 20-30 cents, which made everyone dizzy.
Su Aimin was a little confused when he heard it. He shook his head and recalled it carefully, "Yes, it was fifty cents. Give me a cent."
Very good. The smile on Su Qingyun's face became brighter. She looked at the policeman who didn't understand and said, "Uncle policeman, you can open this bag now and find the dime."
The policeman was stunned. He glanced at the bag and paused, "There are four 10-cent bills in here."
The woman was immediately overjoyed, "Little girl, you don't think that we will be fooled by you just by talking nonsense, do you? You are pretty good at making up stories."
"Four 10-cent bills, one is yours, two are change for the fare, and the last one is the change for the bun shop." Su Qingyun glanced at everyone, "The last one is my change." I can find it!"
What? ! Everyone looked at each other, the money all looked the same, how to find it?
Qi Chu's eyes slowly lit up, and he knew what she was going to say.
