He recognized the person whose wrist was twisted by him and whose face was covered with tears and runny nose.
It was the next door neighbor, a helper named Lao Qi.
This guy has a relative who is a crook, and he works as a steward in a mine outside the county town, which is a lucrative position.
Whenever the mines needed to recruit workers, Lao Qi would come up and lick them for a while, thus getting people to work in the mines.
Get someone to go up there and pay as much as you want.
The work in the mines is extremely heavy and dangerous.
It literally means death, the kind that really kills people.
People who go up are often unlucky and end up buried in the mine tunnel.
If you are lucky, you may earn money for a few months, but your body will become weak, you will not stop urinating blood, and your body will collapse.
Needless to say the former, but as for the latter, anyone who has done heavy work will know that the human body cannot endure that kind of heavy physical labor without a large amount of meat as a supplement.
This is not a matter of hard work and perseverance, it is the limit of the human body.
Once people are gone, no matter how they disappear, the monthly salary per head that Lao Qi gets will be discounted.
Besides, there aren't many people around, so it's hard for Lao Qi to find more people to go up there.
Xu Qian is the only exception.
When he couldn't open the pot at home, he worked in the mines off and on several times.
He is fine when others urinate blood, and he digs out others when they are buried.
It can be said to be a well-known and good labor force in the mine.
He just had a bad temper and would often get into fights with people by squeezing their arms in the mining area and the place called "Palm Face" in the mine.
One person beat dozens of them until they were all crawling on the ground.
Fighting is a trivial matter. If you beat someone up, who will do the work for the mine owner?
So Xu Qian would be kicked out every time.
There was a shortage of people, so Lao Qi took a bunch of them, and the mines were taken over by him. After all, he was a good laborer, and he had a good reputation in the mines, so he could attract a lot of people.
After recognizing the other party, Chen Yang let go.
Lao Qi rubbed his wrist for a long time, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said tremblingly: "Xu Qian, you are too energetic, no wonder you can afford to work in the mine.
I think you were born to eat in the mines."
Chen Yang rolled his eyelids and tried not to punch him.
You were born to mine, and your whole family was born to mine.
"The mine is short of people?"
Chen Yang pointed to the core of the problem in a sullen voice.
"Lack of food at home?"
Lao Qi sneered, the same four words, the same core.
Chen Yang was silent and nodded.
"I'll go to the mine with your seventh brother tomorrow. Don't you still have a few little brothers to listen to you?
Let’s take it with us.”
As Lao Qi explained, he changed the gauze on his shoulder to one hand and put it on the other shoulder.
Just now, Chen Yang's wrist was almost crushed by instinct, and he couldn't hold on to the heavy gauze.
This movement of shoulders caused Chen Yang to raise his eyebrows.
He heard it.
The clanging clang was clearly the copper plate singing.
When you go to the mines, you always have to pay a settlement fee.
Those who go up cannot come down, and there is so much to see.
In addition, miners' families basically don't have food for a day if they don't work. If they don't pay first, they are ordered to go down the mountain. When they get home, everyone in the family may starve to death.
Chen Yang used a lot of effort to look away from the robe, forced out a smile, and said with a simple and honest tone and expression:
