Chapter 10 Bloodstained
This is obviously an inappropriate question.
The money is obviously not available now, everyone is kneeling on the ground, and you come up to ask how much you should have gotten.
If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you might come up and give Li Wei a slap in the face first.
After all, I can’t beat the field director and foreman, so why can’t I beat you?
But then again, those who can kneel here have their edges completely smoothed, their eyes are numb and hollow, and they all have weak and bully characters.
The ten-year-old child was also kneeling. He seemed to be here to ask for compensation for his father's death, and he followed other adults.
There was a moment of silence in response to Levi's question.
But Levi was not in a hurry at all, he just squatted next to them. After a long time, a man with half an arm broken spoke.
"It is written in the contract you signed that if you die on the job, the factory will normally compensate you 30,000 yuan."
A normal worker here can earn up to 100 a day, which is about 3,000 a month. Although I don’t understand the purchasing power of currency in the game, judging from the looks, residence and dress of these workers, this is definitely not a place where they can guarantee food and drink. Sad numbers.
That’s it, the compensation when a person dies is less than a year’s salary.
“You can’t get 30,000 yuan normally, right?” Li Wei continued to ask.
The man with the broken arm seemed to feel that since he had spoken, there was nothing else to say, so he lowered his head and answered.
“When I’m lucky, I get 16,700 yuan, but when I’m not lucky, I only get a little over 10,000 yuan.”
"Having good luck is only half of it." Levi smacked his lips, "If you're not lucky, let alone over ten thousand, don't you guys not get a penny now?"
In the face of this, people listen They only felt ridiculed when they stood up. There was no change in the faces of these people, they were still numb.
They seemed to have completely lost their anger and anger, and begging was their last resort.
Levi shook his head and stood up.
“Brother, can we talk alone?”
The man with the broken arm was unmoved. He was just kneeling like a clay sculpture, but Levi came over forcefully and pulled him up and pulled him to one side.
The man wanted to resist and shook off Levi's hand, but a light word made him stunned.
"I can help you get your money back."
They have come to a corner where no one will disturb them. After hearing Levi's words, the man's eyes were obviously suspicious and suspicious. distrust.
He asked tentatively.
"You and the director have a special relationship in private?"
Li Wei just shook his head.
"Don't worry about what I want, you have no other choice anyway, right? I won't let you give me anything first, I only have one request."
He stared at the broken arm Man's eyes.
“Whether I get the full compensation back or not, I want 30% of it.”
This requirement is not too much, and can even be said to be the conscience of conscience.
Even if they collect the compensation normally, they can only get half at most, but now Li Wei has promised to give them a big share!
The man with the broken arm looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief. He didn't know what confidence Levi had to get his money back.
But if it is true as Li Wei said, only after getting the money back, will you divide 30% of it, which is completely acceptable to people like them.
There is no harm in success or failure.
"Okay! I can agree for others!"
However, after he agreed, Levi continued slowly.
"You not only have to promise for other people, I need everyone to leave me a note. You go back to find other people now, tell them not to waste time kneeling down, and go find paper and pen , let someone who can write clearly write down the fact that I took 30% on the paper, and then put his fingerprint on it. "
The man with the broken arm just looked at him in surprise. "What's the point of this? If we get the money, it can only be given to you first and then distributed to us. It's up to you to decide how much money to distribute. Why do you need to write a receipt?"
However, Levi had no intention of explaining to him, so he turned around and walked towards the coal mine.
"Tonight, just outside the venue in the northwest corner, there is a note for one dollar. If there is no note, even if I get the compensation, I won't give you a penny."
Waiting for Li Wei to return. After a while in the cafeteria, the workers’ families who were kneeling in front of the cafeteria and making trouble dispersed.
Fengzhi, who had been looking out in the cafeteria, obviously noticed all the contacts between Li Wei and those people.
“What did you say to them.”
"Comfort them to see the reality clearly. Stop kneeling here and having meaningless fantasies. Instead of being beaten and scolded here, it is better to go back and lie down and die together."
Fengzhi stared at Levi and pursed her lips tightly.
She did not obey Li Wei's advice this time, but was extremely serious.
“626, if you can’t resist some things, then you won’t resist them.”
Li Wei didn’t comment on her words and just hid a table knife in his pocket. He said calmly.
"Let's settle our own matters first."
The thick and low clouds in the sky gradually dimmed.
The workers are doing the final finishing work. Most of them will take the train back to the community at 9 o'clock, and a few who have no homes will choose to stay in the dormitories on site.
"Xiao Zhao, let's go, it's time to go to the mine. Today you made money on the first day you came here. You were idle all day long, and your wages were for nothing."
Zhang Chaoyang took Li Wei and Fengzi to settle down in their dormitory in the field area, and finally took him down to the mine.
Li Wei followed Zhang Ling with a smile. Another foreman named Yan Li also carried a hoe and put out the cigarette in his hand.
Wearing helmets and lights, they descended into the dark mine.
The two foremans sandwiched Li Wei in the middle one after another and began to go deep. The place was intricate and intricate, like a maze. If there was no familiar person to lead the way, it would be easy to get lost in it.
Along the way, Zhang Ling had been chatting with Li Wei about his daily life, asking him about the situation at home and why he became a gangster and came here to work as a laborer.
Li Wei responded perfunctorily at first, but after walking in the mine for more than ten minutes, he didn't even bother to speak.
The atmosphere became silent, and only three dull footsteps echoed in the quiet mine.
Zhang Ling held the hoe in his hand tightly. He felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, but there was not much tension or uneasiness in his heart.
He has done this together with Yan Li more than once, and there has never been an accident. The most thrilling one was when a rich and powerful worker hit him with a hoe when he resisted. leg.
That time he had to recuperate at home for half a year. Fortunately, his legs were not destroyed.
From that time on, he learned a lesson and must never hoe these people again in future affairs.
And with bare hands, no matter how strong a person is, he can't beat two adults with weapons in their hands!
The end of the mine could be seen, and Zhang Ling felt that it was almost time.
He showed a smile full of yellow teeth, turned around and said the secret code he and Yan Li had used for nearly seven years.
"After tonight, after work tomorrow, I will take you to a good place and treat yourself well"
"Poof!"
He only had one last word left to finish his sentence.
After saying that, the two people who cooperated tacitly could swing their hoes together and smash the head of this inexperienced young man to pieces!
However, Zhang Ling looked at the knife inserted into his chest in disbelief!
The young man, who was always smiling, looked as calm as if he was looking at a dog on the roadside, and slowly pulled out the short blade that pierced the heart.
The splattered blood stained this dirty land and soaked into the darkness that made it impossible to look directly.
