Chapter 101 Refugees are thieves
Su Xue turned around and saw Wang Zeran falling behind two steps. She looked at the oil cake pan next to the wonton stall and couldn't move. In the pot, the golden oil cake was rolling up and down in the hot oil.
It seems that she is not the only one who drools.
Su Xue grabbed Sisheng and said, "Dad, I want to eat wontons and oil cakes."
Si Sheng was a little hungry, so the three of them waited for an empty table at the wonton stall to sit down, and ordered three bowls of wontons and six oil cakes.
Fortunately, the two stalls are in the same family. The boss frys the oil cakes, the boss sells wontons, and a guy helps both sides.
The boss lady who was quick to handle the wontons quickly, which tasted good and the soup was fragrant.
Su Xue was having a happy meal, and the chatting sounds of two men on the table next to her floated into her ears inadvertently.
"Have you heard that? Boss He from our neighboring village was arrested."
"Oh, I haven't heard of this. What's wrong with him? What kind of bad things can Boss He be so honest?"
"It's not caused by refugees."
Hearing the word "refugee", Su Xue turned her head like a conditioned reflex and listened carefully.
The man in black at the next table said without rushing to say that after taking the bowl and drinking two sips of wonton soup, he slowly opened his mouth in the little gossip of the man in gray sitting opposite him, which was a little too squinoxable to control his gossip.
"A refugee came to his doorstep to beg for food. Seeing that the person was pitiful, Boss He agreed to let the family spend two nights in the firewood pile outside the yard. Unexpectedly, he was reported by the neighbor who lived next door, so he was arrested."
"Just for this?" the man in gray asked in confusion: "Isn't this a good deed? Why..."
The man in black interrupted him nervously, "You dare not say that. Be careful of the disaster coming from the mouth. You must be careful of the refugees. Our village has said a long time ago that we cannot take in or help refugees."
Seeing the man in gray shut up, the man in black continued, "Besides, helping the refugees is actually causing trouble for them. When the constable went to arrest Boss He, the refugee was still in his firewood pile. The constable took all the refugees away."
The man in gray was slightly surprised, "Ah? This kindness really hurts people." He also said as if he had finally woken up: "In the future, we will see refugees who have to hide far away, so we can't afford to mess with this."
The man in black was satisfied and said, "That's right. There are many refugees in this town. Don't go around after eating wontons. Go home quickly to avoid causing trouble."
The man in gray nodded in a hurry and finished the wontons in a bowl in just a few bites.
The two men left after paying the bill, leaving Su Xue looking at Si Sheng and Wang Zeran.
Su Xue suddenly felt that the rice in her mouth was no longer so fragrant. She pushed the oil cake to Wang Zeran, "You eat, I will eat a bowl of wontons."
Wang Zeran looked at the last oil cake, rolled his throat and said, "Take this back to Yong'an."
Si Sheng smiled and said, "You eat quickly, just buy a few more later and bring them back."
Wang Zeran then reached out to get the oil cake. As soon as he took a bite, he heard a heavy shout, "It's broken, my purse is gone, who stole my purse?"
The three of them turned around in surprise and saw the owner of the food stall shouting while groping up and down the waist, looking heartbroken.
Hearing the shout, the boss lady who was cooking wontons also exclaimed that she put down her work and ran over to help him search.
The boss's wife had a crying voice in her voice and blamed her: "Why are you so careless that you can't even look down on your purse? The money we collect is all in your purse."
The owner of the snack stall felt distressed when he lost his purse. When he saw his wife complaining, he became even more upset and shouted in a rough voice: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and look for it."
The shouts of the two immediately attracted many people watching the fun, and the surroundings were instantly surrounded by crowds.
Su Xue glanced at the group of people, lowered her head and continued to eat her wontons. Sisheng and Wang Zeran also sat there, looking lacking interest.
"You stole it, right? It must be you." Because of the closeness, the voice of the owner of the snack stall in the crowd still came clearly.
"It's not me, I didn't steal." A man's voice denied.
The owner of the food stall said, "You must have stolen it. Take it out for me. Otherwise, I will send you to the government for dinner."
"It's really not me. I just came over and wanted to ask if you guys want a guy. I'm not a thief."
Hum? Why does this sound so familiar? Si Sheng raised his ears with a "scarlet" sound.
"Look at you like a thief, you have just stood in front of my stall for a while. Why didn't you ask me if you wanted to find a job? You were clearly lying."
"I didn't lie, I just came to find work, I'm not a thief."
"Oh no, it seems to be Zhao Laosi." Sisheng said, then stood up and walked towards the crowd.
Su Xue pulled Wang Zeran and followed Si Sheng closely.
At this time, a little boy quickly ran over from behind Su Xue. Wang Zeran and Su Xue were tightly tied, and he was knocked by him. The boy did not stop, touched his chest and continued running without looking back.
Wang Zeran looked at the boy's back strangely, and was about to follow Su Xue, but suddenly thought of something, turned around and chased the little boy like he flew.
Su Xue and Sisheng were in a hurry to see Zhao Laosi, but they didn't notice that Wang Zeran did not follow.
The two walked up to the crowd and heard the owner of the food stall say in a hurry: "You beggar, what are you looking for work? Don't make excuses. Hand over your purse for me."
"I didn't take your purse. I'm not a stolen person. I'm a good person. My family has suffered a disaster..."
Si Sheng squeezed away and stood in front of him and saw that it was indeed Zhao Laosi. After hearing what he said, Si Sheng felt a deep heart and thought to himself that it was not good.
Sure enough, the owner of the snack stall shouted as if he had discovered a new world: "Look, it turns out to be a refugee."
When the people around him watched the fun heard that they all took two steps back quietly, far away from Zhao Laosi, avoiding like a snake or a scorpion.
"Don't implicate us, we don't know you are a refugee."
"He is a refugee, he must have stolen it."
"It is impossible for refugees to come to find a living. Who dares to use them? He is just lying."
Someone kindly advised Zhao Laosi, "Young man, hand over your purse quickly. We will help you beg the boss to not deal with your crime of stealing. Otherwise, the refugees alone can send you to prison."
Mr. Zhao couldn't argue, are refugees just thieves?
Sisheng stepped forward and said to the owner of the food stall: "Brother, I think he really seems to be here to find work. We just had a meal at your stall and didn't see him approaching you."
When Zhao Laosi saw that it was Si Sheng, he felt like he was seeing a great savior. He was about to cry. He opened his mouth to say something. When he met Si Sheng's eyes, he quickly reacted and closed his mouth.
The owner of the snack stall recalled that Si Sheng said it seemed to be the truth.
Seeing someone talking to the refugees in the crowd, he asked, "He is a refugee. Do you want to shelter the refugees?"
Si Sheng smiled and said, "He is not like a refugee, but he is dressed a little worn. How could the refugee be so clean with his hands, face and hair?"
A woman watching the fun also said, "Yes, I also ate at this stall, and he kept standing there, and he didn't see him picking up the food left by others."
When the owner of the snack stall heard everyone's words make sense, he was stunned and said to Zhao Laosi: "It doesn't matter if you are a refugee or not, just return my purse to me."
Si Sheng said: "He didn't steal your wallet at all, why did he get it?"
Someone in the crowd gave an idea and said, "Did you steal it? You'll know if you search for him?"
