An angry shout came not far away, and Xu Yun and Xia Qiuyu couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.
I saw a tall, thick-set man holding a tong in his hand, the kind used to flip grilled chicken necks and wings, and he chased after a woman desperately.
The woman was about thirty-five or six years old, and she was wearing very ordinary clothes. The checkered shirt looked very cheap. The cloth shoes on her feet were also very worn. The glue had been peeled off in many places, and the soles were missing at any time.
It might look like it's about to fall off.
Just when Xu Yun saw it and was worried that the soles of the shoes would come apart, the soles actually came apart. The woman stumbled and fell to the ground! The broken shoes also flew out.
The tall and thick man stepped forward, grabbed the woman's hair, and shouted: "Run! Run again! You thief! I'll beat you to death!"
After saying this, the man raised his hand to hit someone!
Xia Qiuyu can't stand this. Although she doesn't have the habit of stealing, she is the daughter of a master thief after all. She can't stand people who do petty thieves, but people who do petty thieves can see a "thief" on their faces.
"Character.
But there is no "thief" feeling on this woman's face at all. She looks like a simple rural woman, thirty-five or six years old. If you look closely, you will find that her skin is probably darker than that of the city.
Those women in their forties and fifties are even rougher.
Xu Yun could see the worry on Xia Qiuyu's face, so he stepped forward and stopped the big man's slap.
"Brother, wait a minute, what's going on? Just hit someone in the street." Xu Yun said with a smile, "We are all grown men. It's not good to attack a woman."
"She's a thief! Thieves deserve to be beaten!" The tall and thick man glared, still looking like he was about to take action.
The woman who fell to the ground didn't say a word. She held a plastic bag tightly in her hand, bit her lips, and had tears in her eyes.
When Xia Qiuyu saw this, she knew in her heart that there must be other secrets, and the thief was not like this.
She knelt down and said to the woman: "Sister, is there any misunderstanding here?"
The woman bit her lip and didn't speak for a long time. Then she finally spoke: "No... no misunderstanding... I stole his things. If you want to beat me, go ahead, but I beg you, don't let the police arrest me.
I...my daughter is still waiting for me at home."
Hearing the woman's words, Xia Qiuyu's heart softened.
"Did you see that? She even admitted that he was a thief!" The tall and thick man raised his hand again.
Xu Yun stopped him again and said to the woman: "Sister, how much money have you stolen from others and how much money have you given back to them?"
The woman suddenly clenched the thing in her hand again: "Let him hit me. If he hits me, give me the drumstick...I...I am willing to let him hit me!"
drumstick?
Xu Yun and Xia Qiuyu were both stunned.
Xia Qiuyu couldn't believe it for a long time: "You stole a chicken leg?"
"That's right! I sell roasted duck necks, roasted chicken wings, and roasted chicken legs over there. I didn't expect that this woman stole a chicken leg from me and ran away without paying attention!" The tall and thick man stared angrily.
It is not easy for anyone to start a small business like this. But if it is not that difficult, no one will push a small car and stay up until midnight.
So he would be angry, and Xu Yun could understand it, but hitting someone with a roasted chicken leg was a bit too much.
"Well...let's do it. How much does the chicken drumstick cost? I'll give it to you." Xu Yun said, "Let's forget about it. This eldest sister is really in trouble. She may be hungry."
"You can't steal even if you're very hungry!" the tall and thick man said angrily.
Xu Yun took out the money and asked him: "How much is it?"
"This is not about money, I want to call the police and arrest her!" the tall and thick man said angrily.
As soon as the woman heard the alarm, she grabbed Xia Qiuyu's wrist in fear. She knew that if she begged this man, he would never agree to her request. She could only place her hopes on Xu Yun and Xia Qiuyu.
"I beg you not to call the police! Don't call the police!" The woman was trembling with fear: "I still have children waiting for me at home!"
Xu Yun handed a hundred yuan to the rich man: "You don't have to look for this, and don't pursue it. It's just a favor for me, okay?"
As soon as the big and thick man saw the money, he became less cruel. He thought about it and nodded: "Okay, big brother, I will give you a face. You said this woman is weird. She steals chicken legs. I am really the third person."
See you once!"
Xu Yun comforted the tall and thick man, lowered his head and said to the woman: "Sister, what you are doing is really wrong. You have said it yourself, you still have children waiting for you at home, and this is how you set an example for your children.
?"
As soon as Xu Yun finished speaking, the woman couldn't help crying.
While sobbing, the woman told the story of what happened.
Everything this eldest sister does is for her sick children. She is only 34 years old and is the mother of two children. Both of her children suffer from kidney disease.
During this time, she took her seriously ill eldest daughter to a hospital in Ningnan for medical treatment. Because she had no money to supplement the child's nutrition, and Children's Day was coming, she did stupid things in a moment of confusion.
She was unfortunate to have twin daughters. She was supposed to be a happy person, but unfortunately both children were diagnosed with kidney problems when they were one year old. Because both children were sick, the family was in financial difficulty, and her husband could not bear the pressure.
, when he acted extremely unmanly, he divorced her and disappeared without a trace!
In addition to working at home, this eldest sister also works part-time jobs, and her income is very limited. This time, she brought her eldest daughter Dashuang, who is seriously ill, to the city for treatment. Because of kidney problems, the child needs to eat cereals, so she wanted to have snacks.
Go down the street and find a place selling miscellaneous grains to steal some.
Today is a special holiday, Children's Day. When she was going out, her daughter said she wanted a Children's Day gift. Her wish was very small, just to eat a chicken drumstick. This reminded her as a mother when she passed by a grilled chicken drumstick store.
What my daughter said.
She only stole one chicken drumstick, and the reason was very simple, because her daughter wanted to eat it, but she would not eat it herself. She didn't want to steal it, and she also knew how shameful this kind of thing was, but maternal love and humanity were there
For a moment, she couldn't control herself anymore.
The mother couldn't bear the thought of her daughter's innocent face and her daughter's illness.
She had been wandering around the stall selling roasted chicken legs for almost two hours. Every time she wanted to make a move, a voice would tell her to stop! But in the end, she gave up her dignity and soul for her daughter's little wish.
There was an act of stealing!
What she did was really shameful. This was a mother losing her rationality for the sake of her children. Anyone would expose their humanity at such a time.
After listening to this elder sister's words, Xia Qiuyu's eyes were filled with tears.
She is a motherless person. She has no idea where her mother has gone since she was a child. She only has one father.
Seeing such great maternal love today, Xia Qiuyu really couldn't control her emotions.
Even Xu Yun, a tough-minded man, couldn't help hearing this story.
This is human nature. A woman who regards stealing as so shameful still falls for her children at this moment. She knows how shameless her behavior is, but she still does it.
