fruit

In the city where I live, such a case happened.

At noon one day, a woman who was picking up junk sent the junk items she picked up to a waste collection station to sell them. She rode a tricycle back and passed an empty alley. She suddenly jumped out from the corner of the alley. A gangster is coming. The gangster held a knife in his hand. He pressed the knife against the woman's chest, and fiercely ordered the woman to hand over all the money on her body. The woman was dumbfounded and stood motionless.

The gangster began to search, and he found a plastic bag from the woman's pocket, which contained a stack of banknotes.

The gangster took the stack of banknotes, turned around and left. At this time, the woman reacted, and immediately rushed forward and snatched the plastic bag with her hands. The gangster pointed a knife at the woman, poised to stab her, and threatened her to let go. The woman, however, held the bag containing the money tightly with both hands, not letting go.

While protecting the bag, the woman desperately called for help. The cry for help alerted the residents in the alley, and people rushed to catch the gangster.

The crowd led the gangsters and women into a nearby police station, where they were received by a policeman. During the interrogation, the gangster confessed to the robbery. And the woman stood there shivering with cold sweat on her face. The policeman comforted her: "You don't have to be afraid." The woman replied, "It hurts so much, my finger was broken by him." She raised her right hand, only to find that the index finger of her right hand was drooping softly.

I would rather have my fingers cut off than let go of the money bag, which shows the amount and weight of this bag of money. The police opened the plastic bag containing the banknotes, and everyone present was stunned. There were only 8 yuan and 50 cents in the bag, all of which were 1 cent and 1 cent change.

For 8 yuan and 50 cents, one with a broken finger and one turned into a criminal, it is really not worth it. For a while, the town was in an uproar.

The policeman was confused: what force was supporting this woman, so that she could not give up the mere 8 yuan and 50 cents in the pain of breaking her finger? He decided to find out. So, after sending the woman to the hospital for treatment, he followed behind the woman, hoping to find the answer to the question.

But surprisingly, the woman picked up the fruit at a fruit stand soon after walking out of the hospital door, and picked it so carefully. She used 8 yuan and 5 cents to buy a pear, an apple, an orange, a banana, a section of sugar cane, and a strawberry. She picked one of each fruit in the fruit stand until she put 8 yuan and 5 Not a cent was spent.

The policeman opened his mouth in surprise. Could it be that the 8 yuan and 50 cents saved at the expense of a finger was to buy some fruit to taste?

The woman carried a bag of fruit and went straight out of the city to the cemetery on the outskirts. The police found that the woman went to a secluded place, where there was a new tomb. The women stood in front of the new tomb for a long time, and there seemed to be a happy smile on their faces. Then she leaned the bag against the tombstone and muttered to herself: "Son, I'm sorry for you, mom. Mom was incompetent and couldn't cure you, so you died early at the age of 13. Remember? When you were about to leave, Mom asked what your biggest wish was. You said that I had never eaten a good fruit. I usually eat rotten fruit thrown away by someone you picked up. If I could eat a good fruit, I would How good. Mom is ashamed of you. She can't even satisfy your last wish. In order to treat you, the family has no money to buy a piece of fruit. But, child, by yesterday, my mother will finally give You have paid off all the debts you borrowed for your medical treatment. Mom earned another 8 yuan and 5 cents today. My son, Mom can buy fruit. Look, there are oranges, pears, apples, and bananas... all of them. It's good. It's all the perfect fruit that Mom bought for you. It's not rotten at all. Mom has carefully picked them one by one. Eat it, child, try it..."
