Two good neighbors who had got along well for more than thirty years, found a bag on their way to buy cotton. When they returned it to the owner, a misunderstanding arose and caused them to become enemies. What kind of valuable item was hidden in the package that caused this trouble? The local dialect story "All Because Of 'Foreign Currency'" will be broadcasted tomorrow, please tune in.

The local dialect story "All Because Of 'Foreign Currency'" will present an exciting narrative for you.

Host appearance: There are many stories in life, let's share them together. "Unexpected wealth" is something everyone would consider lucky. However, as the old saying goes, "fortune and misfortune coexist." If not handled properly, this "unexpected wealth" could turn into "unexpected disaster." Recently, Tang Jun-kuan and Ding Gui-lan from Liangbei Village, Liangduo Town, Dongtai City, experienced such a situation where "unexpected wealth" turned into "unexpected disaster."

Narration: Tang Jun-kuan and Ding Gui-lan were neighbors whose houses shared a wall. They had lived harmoniously for over thirty years without any conflict. On December 13th in the afternoon, Tang Jun-kuan took Ding Gui-lan to buy cotton and on their way back, they found a black bag on the road.

Tang Jun-kuan (On that day, while returning home, we picked up the bag which contained three mobile phones, etc.)

Narration: It was drizzling outside, so the two decided that waiting on the road wasn't feasible, and they should go home to try to find the owner. Subsequently, they went back home, and the black bag was taken home by Ding Gui-lan, who was the first to discover it. Tang Jun-kuan then went to work in the fields.

Ding Gui-lan (After returning home, the phones inside the bag kept ringing, etc.)

Narration: Faced with the incessant ringing of the phone, Ding Gui-lan, an elderly rural woman, was at a loss and felt uneasy. She then asked her husband to deliver the bag to her son Lian Shi-hua, who was doing business in Liangduo Town.

Ding Gui-lan’s son Lian Shi-hua (My mother doesn’t know how to use a mobile phone, and it kept ringing. The owner must be anxious to get it back, so I asked my father to bring the bag to me.)

Narration: After receiving the bag, Lian Shi-hua contacted the owner based on the missed calls on the phone inside the bag.

Lian Shi-hua (Half an hour later, the owner came to my shop to retrieve the bag and gave us a reward, etc.)

Host appearance: To say the least, everything here has come to a perfect conclusion. The owner retrieved the bag, and the finder received a reward. However, the issue lies in the fact that another party involved in finding the bag, Tang Jun-kuan, knew nothing about the return of the bag. In the evening, after finishing his farm work and returning home, Tang Jun-kuan learned that the bag had already been returned to the owner. He became upset and began to doubt whether Ding's family really returned the bag to the owner or if someone else had falsely claimed it.

Tang Jun-kuan (I asked them where the owner was from and what their phone number was, but they said they didn’t know. Whether the owner was in the pedestrian street or Bada city made a difference, etc.)

Narration: With doubts lingering in his mind, Tang Jun-kuan repeatedly questioned Ding Gui-lan about the matter. Lian Shi-hua, who usually acted carelessly, did not inquire clearly about the identity and contact information of the owner. He insisted that the bag had been returned to the owner, leading to an irreconcilable dispute between the two families. Moreover, Ding Gui-lan resorted to extreme measures commonly used in rural areas to resolve conflicts, aiming to prove her innocence.

Lian Shi-hua (Swearing oaths at Tang Jun-kuan's house)

Narration: As for Tang Jun-kuan's persistent questioning, Lian Shi-hua believed there was another reason behind it.

Lian Shi-hua (He thought there were 1000 US dollars in the bag, hence...)

Narration: What’s the deal with these 1000 US dollars? Originally, when they found the bag, both noticed a foreign currency note worth 1000 yuan inside. Tang Jun-kuan assumed it was a US dollar. If it were US dollars, adding the three mobile phones and the cash in the bag, the lost bag would be worth nearly ten thousand yuan. Could it have been privately swallowed by the Ding family? Could it have been falsely claimed by someone else? Unable to find answers from the Ding family, Tang Jun-kuan reported the case to the Liangduo Town police station.

Host appearance: Up to this point, the good neighbors, the Tangs and Dings, who had gotten along for more than thirty years, finally fell out and became enemies. After more than thirty years of harmony, Tang Jun-kuan's distrust of the Ding family broke Ding Gui-lan's heart; conversely, Tang Jun-kuan wouldn't let go unless he received a clear answer from the Ding family. So, will Tang Jun-kuan unravel the doubts in his heart after reporting the case? Let's continue reading.

Narration: After receiving the report, the police station investigated the case and eventually contacted the owner, but the owner indicated that the matter had passed and was unwilling to disclose their identity.

Such investigation results obviously failed to satisfy Tang Jun-kuan. To verify the truth and resolve the conflict between the two families, through our efforts, we managed to contact the owner. In Dongtai City's pedestrian street, Tang Jun-kuan finally met the owner. The owner confirmed the course of events to Tang Jun-kuan and stated that the foreign currency in the bag was 1000 South Korean won.

Host appearance: Haha, 1000 South Korean won, equivalent to just about 10 RMB, right? But even if it were 1000 US dollars, so what? "Trust is priceless," two good neighbors of over thirty years, due to this small incident, left a permanent rift. Tell me, was it worth it? Alright, that's all for today. See you tomorrow.
