3 poor women found 52 million VND and returned it to the owner.

On the morning of June 22, at the headquarters of Ngoc Lam Commune Police, in the presence of police officers, three women, Vi Thi Mau (30 years old), Vi Thi Pa (26 years old), and Vi Thi Am (47 years old), residing in Tan Ngoc village, Ngoc Lam commune, returned the 52 million VND they had picked up to Nguyen Xuan Giap (37 years old), residing in Hamlet 4, Thanh Huong Commune (Thanh Chuong).

Ms. Vi Thi Mau said that on the night of June 21, she, Ms. Pa and Ms. Am went to catch frogs and fish to improve their meals. At around 10 p.m. that night, the three women discovered a raincoat that someone had dropped at Vuon Uom bridge in Thanh Huong commune. Thinking it was a raincoat, Ms. Mau took it home to use. When she got home, she opened it and found many bags of money (counting 52 million VND) and some personal documents of the person who dropped it. That same night, the women contacted the person who dropped the bag of money to return it.

The next morning, the women brought the above assets to the Ngoc Lam Commune Police Station. After confirming that Mr. Nguyen Xuan Giap, residing in Thanh Huong Commune, was the owner of the above assets, in the presence of the police officers, the women returned the above amount of money to Mr. Giap.

It is known that the three women Vi Thi Mau, Vi Thi Pa, and Vi Thi Am are all poor farmers, with many difficult family circumstances. Every day, they often go to work on glue to earn extra income. Mr. Giap works as a mechanic, and that night, the homeowner had just paid him his wages. He carelessly hung his money bag on the motorbike hook and dropped it on the road. Mr. Giap also posted information about finding lost items on social networks, hoping to get his property back.

Major Nguyen Van Hung - Head of Ngoc Lam Commune Police shared: the women deserve to be commended, because their lives still face many difficulties, they have to go out to search for food every night to improve their daily meals, but when they found a large amount of money, they did not hesitate to immediately find the person who lost it to return it.

Talking about this act, Mr. Vi Van Tuyen - Secretary of the Party Committee of Ngoc Lam commune said: The women are good people doing good deeds in the middle of the great forest. Although hunger and poverty are surrounding their family, with their honest nature, loving others as they love themselves, thinking about the large amount of money, but it is the sweat and tears of the person who dropped it, so they still decided to find the person who dropped it and return it./.
