Chapter 432: Is this matter related to the younger uncle?
They had originally planned to buy some steamed buns for Niu Airong and her husband on the way, but unfortunately many breakfast shops were closed on New Year’s Eve.
It was not until they were about to reach the police station that they came across a bun shop. The shop only had ten buns left and Si Chen bought them all.
When Niu Airong and her husband received the buns, tears welled up in their eyes. They kept saying that Si Chen and Tong Yao were good people. They regretted not bringing more buns from their hometown.
Tong Yao felt a bit embarrassed when she saw these two middle-aged people almost in tears. Fortunately, Si Chen changed the subject to divert their attention.
The police station was not far away, but the heavy snow slowed their pace. When they dropped the couple off at the door, Si Chen stopped and said,
"We’ll drop you off here. Just go in and explain the situation to the police. After you’ve reported the case, go to the guest house from yesterday. Just give your names and you’ll be able to check in. I’ve paid for three days of lodging."
After a pause, he added, "If you can’t find the place, just ask the police or ask for the hospital’s address first. Then ask for the guest house near the hospital. It’s not far from the hospital and it should be easy to find."
"No, no, how can we let you pay for our lodging? No, no," Song Wenhua waved his hands in refusal, as he was a simple and honest farmer who’s not very good at socializing and dislikes taking advantage of others.
Earning money is never easy for anyone, and one should stay true to their conscience, not inclined to taking small gains dishonestly.
Niu Airong also said, "Yes! Don’t trouble yourselves with booking a room for us. It’s expensive there and I guess we wouldn’t be used to staying there anyway. You needn’t waste your money."
