Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 585 The Fury of the Honest Man
Liu Dageng thought that Liu Huasheng wanted to buy cigarettes, so he followed behind in a daze.

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

Just by looking at the brands of cigarettes and alcohol, one can tell that the life of these migrant workers is not good.

The purpose of Liu Huasheng's visit to the commissary was to ask the boss about the 117 construction site by borrowing something, but before he opened his mouth, he realized that there was something wrong with the commissary.

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

Although the number of credit accounts is not large, it can't stand the large number of people!

Liu Huasheng stood by and watched for less than a minute. At least 1 migrant workers signed the notepad. Seeing the unhappy faces of these migrant workers, I'm afraid they don't want to do this.

But in order to make a living, it seems that going to the canteen to pay on credit is their only way.

"What are you buying?" The owner of the commissary is a fat man with a hideous scar at the corner of his left eye. Seeing that almost all the migrant workers on credit have come, he raised his head and asked Liu Huasheng with a smile.

This smile showed black teeth, which almost didn't scare Liu Huasheng. After a moment of surprise, he walked to the counter and said, "Give me a pack of Changsha cigarettes."

"Credit or cash?" asked the fat boss.

"I'm not a migrant worker at the 117 construction site. If you can't find anyone on credit, won't you cry to death?" Liu Huaxing smiled.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you sign your name, the boss Zhang at this construction site will naturally find you to pay the money. A few days ago, there was a young man who pretended to be at the 117 construction site. Now his legs have been broken, and he is still alive in the hospital. Wake up!" The fat boss took out a pack of Changsha cigarettes and put them 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's inconvenient for you, then don't say it, okay?"

"Ask! It seems that you are not far away." The fat boss took the money and replied.

"In a construction site as big as 117 construction site, it is reasonable for migrant workers to make a lot of money. Why do you have to pay on credit to buy a pack of cigarettes from your place?" Liu Huasheng opened the Changsha cigarettes he bought and handed one to the fat boss. .

"You don't know if you really don't know! It's been almost three years since the 117 construction site started, and you haven't paid a penny of wages! The migrant workers who work here are basically trapped and can't get out. Now It’s not going, it’s not going, and it’s not going.” The fat boss picked up the lighter and lit the cigarette, and took a puff with enjoyment: “The residents in this area basically know about this matter, and the migrant workers also made trouble, but in the end it was all over. gone."

"I don't think you are dressed like a migrant worker, but rather like a small boss who invested money in the 117 construction site. I advise you, don't go to trouble with Boss Zhang. The backer behind him is the Lin family." Don't hesitate to say something: "Does the Lin family know? That is a giant in Shonan Province."

"I know, I know! I didn't invest money in the 117 construction site, I just asked curiously, just asked..." Although Liu Huasheng said this, his heart was bleeding, because every word of the fat boss, There was no exaggeration in what Liu Xing said to him before showing it.

This 117 construction site is really a bottomless pit.

It is the unattainable existence of ordinary people like them.

Liu Dageng on the side was also shocked by the fat boss' words at this time.

He stood there, not knowing what to say for a while.

Maybe others don't know the existence of the Lin family, but because of Liu Xing's relationship, there is no reason for him not to know.

Now that the 10 yuan invested by Liu Huasheng is involved in the Lin family, I'm afraid they won't come back at all.

"Brother, let's go!" Liu Huasheng didn't want the fat boss to see him looking depressed, so he forced a smile on his face and said, then took the lead and walked towards the car parked by the side of the road.

Liu Dageng followed behind, until he sat in the driver's cab, then turned his head and asked Liu Huasheng: "Where are we going now? Go back?"

"Go to my brother-in-law's house. I want to ask in person if I can get back my 10 yuan." Liu Huaxing said in a low voice.

"Isn't this obviously an impossible thing?" Liu Dageng couldn't help but said.

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

"You!" Liu Dageng was very embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, brother!" Liu Huasheng rubbed his face: "I shouldn't lose my temper with you. If you don't want to take me to my brother-in-law's house, I'll rent a car."

"Who said I don't want to." Liu Dageng could understand Liu Huasheng's extremely irritated mood now, and after a soft sigh, he refueled and drove towards Tanjiacun.

Tanjia Village is to the northwest of Qingshi Village.

The villagers in the village are basically surnamed Tan.

Liu Huasheng's brother-in-law is no exception. His surname is Tan and his name is Xiaocheng. He is only 25 years old.

And Tan Xiaochen's elder sister 'Tan Zhonglan' is Liu Huasheng's daughter-in-law, the aunt Liu Xing said.

Tan Xiaocheng is the youngest in the family. He has two older brothers and three older sisters, including Tan Zhonglan.

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

Naturally, Tan Xiaocheng was no exception.

It is the pampered existence in the family.

Although he learned carpentry from Liu Huasheng, his skills were actually very poor. He could not even make a long bench before leaving the school.

It was not Liu Huasheng's idea to become a teacher, but Tan Xiaocheng's parents' idea.

That is the meaning of Liu Huasheng's father-in-law.

Otherwise, Liu Huasheng wouldn't let a 'half bucket of water' like Tan Xiaocheng ruin his reputation as a carpenter.

However, it is useless to think about it now. Sitting in the car at this time, he has a lot of thoughts, and every time he thinks of the bad things related to Tan Xiaocheng, he gets angry.

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

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

To Liu Huasheng's surprise, the chubby 'Tan Xiaocheng' with a crew cut didn't go to work at the 117 construction site today, and was playing Snake with a Nokia mobile phone.

And the daughter-in-law 'Tan Zhonglan' who was dressed in a blue cloth was sitting next to the barrel and plucking the feathers of an old hen that had been slaughtered. When she saw Liu Huasheng coming, she turned her head and walked into the red room behind her with the barrel and the old hen. brick house.

Liu Huasheng was not angry because of Tan Zhonglan's actions, but came to Tan Xiaocheng with a smile: "Hey! I'm quite free today! Didn't you visit the 117 construction site?"

"What are you looking at, I just need to sit and wait for the dividends." Tan Xiaocheng raised his eyelids: "Brother-in-law, if you send money today, I can stay and treat you to dinner. If there are other things, you should hurry up!"

"You also know that I have no money." Liu Huasheng lit the cigarette in his hand: "I'm here to ask you a question, do you know that the 117 construction site has not paid wages for two or three years? Do you know that all the bosses paid Didn’t the money that went in basically never get back?”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably awkward.

Tan Xiaocheng didn't get angry because Liu Dageng was also on the sidelines, but said with a sullen face, "Where did you hear the gossip, let me tell you that the 117 construction site is currently the largest construction site in HY City, with a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars?" ! We only invested hundreds of thousands, so what is this amount of money.”

"Let me be clear first, you are the one who invested, not me." Liu Huasheng saw that Tan Xiaocheng was 117, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense right now: "Do you have time now? If you do, I will go to the construction site with me." , I'll let you see the situation at the scene."

"No, I trust Boss Zhang." After Tan Xiaocheng said this, he continued to play 'Snake'.

This action annoyed Liu Huasheng, and suddenly exploded the depressed mood in Liu Huasheng's heart. He saw his wife hiding in the crack of the door and eavesdropping. With a slap in the face, he slapped his hand.

A crisp sound.

Tan Xiaocheng received a solid slap.

Tan Xiaocheng, who was a little confused, came back to his senses in surprise, got up and was furious, and was about to return the slap, but Liu Huasheng picked up the hoe from the corner, raised it recklessly, and smashed it.

Because he used all his strength, there was a whirring sound when he swung the hoe. Tan Xiaocheng had never seen such a battle before, so he ran away in fright.

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

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

Tan Zhonglan, who was hiding in the crack of the door, saw that her husband was serious, and became frightened for a moment. Under the balance, she ran out quickly and grabbed Liu Huasheng.

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

"Third brother, don't do this." Seeing this, Liu Dageng quickly grabbed Liu Huasheng, so that he didn't hit Tan Zhonglan with the hoe, but even so, he was quite frightened.

Because the hoe fell to the ground, it made a big hole.

"Why are you standing still, run away!" Liu Dageng shouted at the bewildered Tan Zhonglan.

"I won't run away. If he is not afraid to speak clearly today, he will get divorced. This day will be impossible." Tan Zhonglan pointed at Liu Huasheng and shouted loudly.

In the countryside in 94, divorce was a distant word for the common people. Basically, the young couples who got married almost always lived together for the rest of their lives.

Now that Tan Zhonglan said it, nine out of ten it was Tan Xiaocheng's idea.

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

Liu Dageng at the side heard this and knew that he couldn't help anymore, so he shook his head heartbroken and let go of Liu Huasheng's hand, and walked to the side.

Liu Huasheng did not use a hoe to use force either, but looked at Tan Zhonglan coldly: "Divorce means divorce, we have one child, and the house can be given to you, but I have to earn half of the yuan I earned through hard work. If not, I'm not done with you."

"What do you mean?" Tan Zhonglan never thought that Liu Hua's provincial capital would really divorce her, she panicked for a while, and under hesitation, she turned and ran away holding her tear-filled face.

But before he ran a few meters away, he was stopped by his parents who came after hearing the news.

After asking, after learning what had happened, he hurriedly dragged him to Liu Huasheng: "How could this matter become like this! Your hundreds of thousands of dollars were invested in the 117 construction site to make a lot of money. You will pay dividends in time."

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

Seeing Tan Xiaocheng coming over with his brothers and a dozen other villagers from the same village, he patiently told what he saw next to the 117 construction site.

Especially the inside story of the credit at the canteen, he picked up the key points and told it in detail.

Everyone, except Liu Dageng, listened with bated breath.

After realizing it, the pot exploded immediately.

After all, as Tan Xiaocheng's neighbors, they more or less invested money into the 117 construction site. They originally wanted to make a small fortune through dividends, but they didn't expect it to be a scam.

Tan Xiaocheng was unwilling to believe what Liu Huasheng said: "Brother-in-law, please don't hurt me. Boss Zhang is not the kind of person you said at all. He is a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and he invested in the 117 construction site before. Shi also verbally promised that if I am inconvenient, I can return the money I invested in the 117 construction site at any time."

"Then try it." Liu Huasheng said angrily.

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

However, what made Tan Xiaocheng dumbfounded was that the phone was disconnected and became an empty number.

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

"Didn't you just call Boss Zhang yesterday?" Tan Zhonglan knew the seriousness of the matter this time, and started crying with snot and tears.

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

"Okay! Okay!" Tan Xiaocheng, who was in such a mess, dared not get angry with Liu Huasheng, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Let's go." After greeting Tan Zhonglan's parents and a dozen villagers in Tanjia Village, Liu Dageng drove to the 117 construction site.

Because he was worried that Boss Zhang would run away, he drove very fast this time, and arrived at the gate of the 117 construction site in only ten minutes.

however……

What made them dumbfounded was.

The 117 construction site has been sealed off. Thousands of migrant workers gathered at the gate, holding banners and protesting wages...
