Porridge shop owner returns 200 million VND bag to customer who left it behind
(Baonghean.vn) - Seeing a bag full of money left behind by a customer, the restaurant owner and his wife kept it and returned it to the owner later.
On the evening of July 27, 2018, the night porridge shop of Mr. Pham Dinh Son and Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhu in Hamlet 12, Da Son Commune, Do Luong was crowded with customers as usual. Around 8:00 p.m., two more customers entered the shop. Ms. Nhu placed a small table next to the shop's entrance for two customers to sit.

When the guest left, Mr. Pham Dinh Son suddenly saw a black leather bag that the guest had left behind. Mr. Son and his wife, Ms. Nhu, thought that the guest's bag probably contained personal belongings, so they left it there for the guest and would return it when the guest returned. After waiting for about 30 minutes without seeing the guest return, Ms. Nhu opened the bag and saw that the bag was full of 500,000 VND and 200,000 VND bills, along with a number of envelopes with a lot of money inside. She calmly told her husband to keep it there to return it to the guest.
About an hour and a half later, the two customers returned, frantically asking for the forgotten bag. Ms. Nhu and her husband immediately returned the bag to the customer, and asked the customer to count the money to see if it was missing. The young man counted the money, and found 200 million VND in the bag.

He said that both of them had returned to Vinh by car and went to deliver the money to the company, but then suddenly remembered that the bag had been forgotten, so they immediately drove back, but also thought that finding the bag of money was very fragile, with little hope... He also said that his monthly salary was only 5 million VND, 200 million VND was a very large sum of money for him.
Receiving the money back, he choked up and thanked Ms. Nhu and Mr. Son and gave her some money as thanks, but the couple did not take it.
It is known that Mr. Son and Ms. Nhu have been selling porridge at night for 10 years now. She did not even have time to ask the name of the young man who forgot his money.
