Two other passengers heard their conversation and rushed out of their seats excitedly. They surrounded Ye Jian and talked to her anxiously.
"Soldier, I lost my money too. That's my yearly salary. I was supposed to use this money to repay my debts and provide for my three children's schooling fees. Soldier, please do me a favor and help me retrieve it. I'll kneel down and kowtow to you."
This man who was responsible for his family's livelihood and who had never cried or knelt before now went down on his knees in front of Ye Jian. Fortunately, the old man let go of Ye Jian's hand so that she could stop him from kowtowing.
The other passenger was a young lady. She was a cafeteria attendant and didn't earn much money. Her family was far away, so she didn't mail money back. She brought her entire year's worth of savings with her. She wanted to take it back and use it to fix her house's leaking roof. In the end, her money was stolen too.
