Rebirth Craftsman

Liu Dageng thought that Liu Hua Province was going to buy cigarettes, and followed him in a daze.

Although it was morning at this time, there were many people who came to the canteen to buy things. Many of them were migrant workers on Site 117, but most of them bought daily necessities, and some even bought some tobacco and alcohol.

Looking at the brands of tobacco and alcohol, you know that the lives of these migrant workers are not very good.

Liu Huashen came to the commissary because he wanted to buy something to ask the boss about the 117 site-related matters, but before he spoke, he found that something was wrong with the commissary.

It turned out that almost all of the migrant workers who came to buy cigarettes and alcohol did not pay in cash. Instead, they wrote down their names on a thick notepad, as well as the money on credit.

Regardless of the small number of credit accounts, it cannot hold up the large number of people!

Liu Huasheng stood by and looked at it for less than a minute. At least 20 migrant workers signed the notepad. Seeing these migrant workers look unhappy, I'm afraid they don't want to do so.

But for their livelihood, it seems that going to the commissary on credit is their only way.

"What are you buying?" The owner of the commissary is a big fat man with a hideous scar on the corner of his left eye. Seeing that the migrant workers on credit are almost coming, he even smiled and asked Liu Huashen.

This smile showed black teeth, and he almost didn't scare Liu Huasheng. After a daze, he even walked to the counter: "Bring me a pack of Changsha cigarettes."

"On credit or cash?" the fat boss asked.

"I'm not a migrant worker at construction site 117. Wouldn't you cry to death when you can't find anyone on credit?" Liu Huashen smiled.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you sign your name, Boss Zhang at this construction site will naturally find you to pay. A few days ago, there was a young man posing as construction site 117. Now his legs have been broken and he has not been in the hospital. Wake up!" The fat boss took out a pack of Changsha cigarettes and put it on the counter: "Two yuan."

Liu Huasheng took out the money and put it on the counter: "Boss, I have a question to ask you. If it is inconvenient for you, then just leave it alone, okay."

"Ask! You are not far away," the fat boss replied, taking the money.

"On a construction site as large as the 117 construction site, it is logical that migrant workers should be very profitable. Why do you still have to pay for a pack of cigarettes when you get here?" Liu Hua province opened the Changsha cigarettes he bought and handed it to the fat boss. .

"You really don't know if you don't know it! It's been almost three years since the 117 construction site started, and I haven't paid a penny of wages! The migrant workers who work here are basically stuck in and can't get out. It’s not going to go, it’s not going to go.” The fat boss picked up the lighter and lit his cigarette, and took a sip of enjoyment: “The residents in this area basically know this, and the migrant workers have also made trouble, but in the end it was nothing Up."

"I don't think you are dressed like a migrant worker, but like a small boss who invested money in the 117 site. I advise you not to trouble Boss Zhang. The backer behind him is the Lin family." The fat boss seems to be at all. What he said without hesitation: "Does the Lin family know? That's the existence of a giant in the southern province of Hunan."

"I know, I know! I didn't invest any money on site 117, I just asked curiously, just ask..." Although Liu Hua said that, his heart was dripping blood because every word of the fat boss There was no exaggeration in what he said to Liu Xing before showing him.

This 117 site is really a bottomless pit.

It is the unattainable existence of ordinary people like them.

Liu Dageng on the side was also startled by the fat boss' words.

He stayed in place, not knowing what to say for a while.

Maybe others don't know the existence of the Lin family, but because of Liu Xing, there is no reason why he doesn't know.

The 100,000 yuan invested by Liu Hua Province now involves the Lin family, and I am afraid it will not come back at all.

"Brother, let's go!" Liu Huasheng didn't want the fat boss to see his frustrated look, and after holding up his smiling face, he took the lead and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road.

Liu Dageng followed until he sat in the cab before turning his head and asking Liu Huasheng: "Where are we going now? Are you going back?"

"Go to my brother-in-law's house, I want to ask face-to-face, can I still come back with my 100,000 yuan?" Liu Huasheng said in a low voice.

"Is this something impossible?" Liu Dageng couldn't help but said.

"Then I have to ask clearly!" Liu Huasheng shouted at Liu Dageng.

"You!" Liu Dageng was embarrassed.

"Sorry, brother!" Liu Huasheng rubbed his face: "I shouldn't be angry with you. If you don't want to take me to your brother-in-law's house, I will rent a car."

"Who said I don't want it anymore." Liu Dageng could realize Liu Huasheng's extremely irritable mood now, and after a light sigh, he drove towards Tanjiacun.

Tanjia Village is to the northwest of Qingshi Village.

The villagers in the village are basically surnamed Tan.

The brother-in-law of Liu Hua Province is no exception. His surname is Tan, Xiaocheng, and he is only 25 years old.

And Tan Xiaochen's sister'Tan Zhonglan' is Liu Hua Province's wife and the aunt Liu Xing said.

Tan Xiaocheng is the youngest at home, with two older brothers and three older sisters, including Tan Zhonglan.

In rural areas, the youngest boy in the family is called a full cub and is usually spoiled by his parents.

This Tan Xiaocheng is naturally no exception.

It is a spoiled existence in the family.

Although I learned woodworking from Liu Hua, in fact, my craftsmanship is so bad that I can't even make a long bench, so I started out.

This is not Liu Huasheng's idea, but Tan Xiaocheng's parents.

That is the meaning of the father-in-law of Liu Hua province.

Otherwise, Liu Huasheng would not let Tan Xiaocheng's "half bucket of water" ruin his reputation as a carpenter.

However, it is no longer useful to think about it now. At this time, he was sitting in the car with a lot of thoughts. Whenever he thought of the bad things related to Tan Xiaocheng, he would not get angry.

Although the country road in Tanjia Village is not paved with cement roads, it is easy to walk because of the sunny weather.

In just half an hour, Liu Dageng drove Liu Huasheng to the door of Tan Xiaocheng's house.

To Liu Huasheng's surprise, the fat and flat-headed'Tan Xiaocheng' did not go to work on Site 117 today. At this time, he was playing Snake with a Nokia mobile phone.

And a blue commoner daughter-in-law'Tan Zhonglan' was sitting next to a wooden barrel and pulling out a slaughtered old hen's feathers. Seeing that Liu Hua province was coming, she turned her head and carried the wooden barrel with the old hen and walked into the red behind her. Brick house.

Liu Huasheng didn't get angry because of Tan Zhonglan's actions, but smiled and came to Tan Xiaocheng's face: "Oh! It's pretty idle today! Didn't you go to the 117 construction site?"

"What to see, I just need to wait for the dividend." Tan Xiaocheng raised his eyelids: "Brother-in-law, if you send money today, I can stay and invite you to eat. If it's other things, I'd better leave!"

"You also know that I have no money." Liu Huashen lit the cigarette in his hand on his own: "I came here to ask you a word, do you know that the 117 construction site has not paid for two or three years? You know all the bosses have invested Is the money that went in basically never got back?"

As soon as this was said, the atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably embarrassing.

Tan Xiaocheng didn’t get angry at the moment because Liu Dageng was also on the sidelines. Instead, he said with a gloomy face: “Where did you hear the gossip, I’ll tell you that site 117 is currently the largest construction site in HY City, with a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars. ! We only invest a few hundred thousand, what kind of money is that."

"Let’s make it clear first, you are the one who invested, not me." Liu Huasheng saw that Tan Xiaocheng was 255, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense at the moment: "You have time now. If you have any, follow me to Site 117. , I will show you the situation at the scene."

"No, I believe Boss Zhang." Tan Xiaocheng finished saying this and continued to play'Snake Snake'.

This action annoyed Liu Huasheng, and the depression in Liu Huasheng's heart suddenly erupted. He saw his wife hiding in the door to eavesdrop. He didn't mean to come out to help speak at all, so he was angry. He slapped his hand and slapped it.

There was a crisp sound.

Tan Xiaocheng took a firm slap.

Some stunned Tan Xiaocheng came back to his senses in astonishment. He got up and was furious and was about to return his slap, but Liu Huasheng picked up the hoe from the corner and smashed it up desperately.

Because of the use of his whole body strength, there was a whirring sound when he swung his hoe. Tan Xiaocheng had never seen this battle before, and was frightened and fled.

In his eyes, his brother-in-law Liu Huasheng was a cowardly and honest temperament, and it was impossible to beat him.

And this scene appeared today, I'm afraid he really pushed the brother-in-law into a desperate situation.

Tan Zhonglan, who was hiding in the crack of the door, became frightened for a while when he saw that her husband was really moving. After weighing it, he quickly ran out and grabbed Liu Huasheng.

Unexpectedly, Liu Huasheng, who was in anger, slapped Tan Zhonglan with a slap on his backhand. Seeing that he still refused to let go, he raised the hoe in his hand and slammed it down.

"Third brother, don't be like this." Liu Dageng saw this, and quickly grabbed Liu Huasheng, and didn't make the hoe hit Tan Zhonglan, but even so, the whole person was shocked.

Because the hoe hit the ground, a big hole was hit.

"Why are you still standing? Run!" Liu Dageng shouted towards Tan Zhonglan who was stunned.

"I'm not running. If he is not afraid to speak clearly today, he will get divorced. This day will not be possible." Tan Zhonglan pointed at Liu Huasheng and shouted.

In the rural areas of 1994, divorce was a distant word for the common people. Basically, married couples would grow old together and spend the rest of their lives.

Now that Tan Zhonglan has said, it's almost always Tan Xiaocheng's idea.

Because Tan Zhonglan, who is illiterate, has no idea what divorce means to rural people.

When Liu Dageng on the side heard this and knew that he could no longer help, he shook his head heartbroken and let go, grabbing Liu Huasheng's hand, and went aside.

Liu Huashen was not using the hoe to use force, but looked at Tan Zhonglan coldly: "If you get divorced, we will get a divorce. We will have one child. The house can be given to you, but the 100,000 or so I earned from hard work must be half of each. If not, I will never end this matter with you."

"What do you mean?" Tan Zhonglan would have thought that Liu Hua's provincial capital would really divorce her. He panicked for a while, and turned and ran while holding his tearful face under his hesitation.

But before he ran a few meters, he was stopped by his parents who rushed to hear the news.

After inquiring, after learning what happened, he hurriedly pulled to Liu Huasheng’s face: “How could this happen like this! You invested a hundred thousand yuan into the 117 construction site, but it was to make a lot of money. At that time you will get dividends."

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law!" Liu Huasheng dropped the hoe in his hand: "Of course I am happy to have money, but do you know? The 117 construction site is not what you imagined."

He saw Tan Xiaocheng walking over with his brothers in his family and a dozen other villagers from the same village, and he patiently explained everything he saw beside the 117 construction site.

Especially the inside story of the commissary's credit account, he even explained the key points in detail.

Everyone except Liu Dageng listened carefully with bated breath.

After understanding it, he immediately exploded.

After all, as Tan Xiaocheng's neighbors, they invested more or less money into the 117 site. They originally wanted to make a small fortune by dividends, but no one thought that it turned out to be a scam.

Tan Xiaocheng did not want to believe what Liu Huasheng said: "Brother-in-law, I beg you to stop hurting me. Boss Zhang is not the kind of person you mentioned at all. He is a big boss with a net worth of more than 100 million yuan, and he invested in 117 construction sites before. Shi still verbally promises that if I am inconvenient, I can return the money I invested in the 117 site at any time."

"Then you try." Liu Huasheng said angrily.

Under the surveillance of everyone around, Tan Xiaocheng had no choice but to follow suit.

However, what made Tan Xiaocheng stunned was that the phone could not be reached, and it became an empty number.

Now Tan Xiaocheng panicked, and in a hurry, he continued: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'll drive to the 117 site to see Boss Zhang. Maybe he has changed his number."

"Didn't you just call Boss Zhang yesterday?" Tan Zhonglan knew that the matter was serious this time, and cried with a snot and tears.

"I played it yesterday! The ghost knows why it became an empty account today." Tan Xiaocheng took out the car key with a weeping face, but Liu Hua province snatched it the next second: "I will drive the car, don't forget. This car is mine."

"Okay! Okay!" Tan Xiaocheng, who was in a state of confusion, dared to breathe with Liu Huasheng, and had to nod in agreement.

"We are gone." Liu Dageng greeted Tan Zhonglan's parents and more than a dozen villagers in Tanjia Village, and drove to the 117 construction site.

Fearing that Boss Zhang would run away, he drove very fast this time, and it only took ten minutes to reach the gate of 117 site.

however……

What makes them stunned.

117 The construction site has been sealed off, and thousands of migrant workers gathered at the gate, holding banners in hand, denouncing wages...
