The mine is far away from home. It takes three or four hours by horse-drawn carriage. When we arrived in Kunshan, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was about to set. There were no other factories around the mine. It was just a relatively deserted place with a wooden door.
, surrounded by wooden stakes, but there were more than a dozen people patrolling and guarding it. It looked more like a prison than a mining factory. The guards looked very proud, some holding sticks and some holding sticks in their hands.
whip
Kunshan suddenly felt a bad feeling. Before he entered the door, he was five or six meters away from the gate. Kunshan got out of the car, paid the driver and asked him to wait for a while. The driver saw that he was alone and wearing a straight suit.
Fearing that he would suffer, he whispered: "Be careful. This place is commonly known as a little hell. I advise you not to go, if you can."
"Little hell? What do you mean?"
"You are a foreigner!" Judging from his fair skin and elegant manners, although his voice has a Shanxi accent, he occasionally utters one or two foreign words.
Kunshan shook his head. When he went out in Guangzhou, he usually took a car. He was indeed a lot whiter. His behavior and conversation followed the hall master: "I am a local, but I haven't been back for more than a year."
"No wonder, you don't know! There are two big hells around here. The mining factory owned by the Japanese is the big hell, which is bigger. This is the small hell, which is medium in size. But the people in charge beat and scolded the miners at every turn.
The Japanese are just as vicious. I don’t know why he is still Chinese.”
Kunshan frowned after hearing this, why did the elder brother become like this?
After Kunshan said, "It doesn't matter, I'll come quickly," he walked towards the gate. The two gatekeepers saw that he was quite elegant, and they were a little more polite: "Sir, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Lu Huaining." His face started to look a little ugly.
"Who are you?"
"Lu Kunshan"
"Are you his younger brother?" Didn't it mean that the second young master of the Lu family has no temperament and behaves like a rogue all day long, and his appearance is dark? Why does this man look so gentle, fair and polite, like a scholar?
"Why doesn't it look like it? Why don't you try my fist?" He said with a smile, but the man believed it.
"No! Just wait! I'll go in and report for you!" One of them opened the door and went in to report. After a while, he came out and said: "Boss, please come in."
Kunshan said thank you and went in with a cold face. The road leading to the eldest brother's office is a bit long. The eldest brother's office and accommodation are integrated. Go in along a small road and you can see a small bungalow in the distance, which is Lu Huaining's residence.
, and along the way, the workers he could see who were transporting baskets on their backs or towing trucks were all skinny, not well-fed and poorly clothed, with shabby clothes, empty eyes, and some with wounds on their bodies.
When he got inside, he saw Lu Huaining sitting on the sofa in his luxurious office. When he saw him coming, he poured him a cup of tea himself and said: "Try it, my tea, although it is not this year's new tea, it is the latest one."
Very good Pu’er”
He wanted to show off in front of Kunshan. No matter how rich Kunshan is now, such good tea is still rare, but Kunshan didn't taste a bite, just looked at him and said expressionlessly: "Thankfully you can drink it too!
"
"Why can't I drink? Are you talking about this weather? If you want to gain something, you have to make sacrifices." Lu Huaining didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Did he mean that the air here was bad and there was dust everywhere? Although he also hated it, but his body
There was nothing he could do about it in the mining factory. It took him half a year to get used to the habit from the initial dislike.
"Are you willing to do whatever it takes to pay for it? Look at what the workers outside are like. They are all skinny and bruised! How can you eat and sleep well in such an environment? Can you really eat and sleep?
Brother, how did you become like this?" What is the difference between such insensitivity and the Japanese? In fact, he came today to hear the explanation from his elder brother. He really wanted to hear his elder brother say that all this was a misunderstanding and that he was forced
He had no choice but to do this, but seeing is believing. He was not coerced. He was living a good life and could even drink tea with a smile.
This was not the first time Lu Huaining heard this. He had become accustomed to it and faced it calmly. He said, "Kunshan, you made this matter too serious. If you can find me, it means you already know something.
I know very well what the outside world says about me, but don’t be too alarmist. They work for me voluntarily, and I pay them a salary. It’s not a big deal if they don’t work hard or get whipped for not working hard. For the Japanese,
The mining factory has done a lot more than me. He killed people, but I didn't."
"Who can you compare with? Compare with the Japanese? Brother, you are Chinese! Do you remember? How can you harm your compatriots? You said what I said is too serious. Do you think this is so serious?
Is it still a trivial matter? If you are still my big brother, you will close this factory and compensate the workers for their mental and physical injuries." Kunshan was very angry.
"Making money! How can you make money if you don't use ruthless means?"
"But you can't do anything harmful to God! If dad finds out, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
"Brother, you have always valued loyalty. For the sake of your face, I took good care of you when you were a child. Don't tell dad about this! Otherwise, I won't recognize you as my brother." Now he can make money in the mining factory, and his family's store
Although he is taking care of it, there are famines everywhere now, and he doesn't earn much. If he doesn't do big business, how can he make a huge profit? He knows very well about Kunshan. Everyone says that this younger brother is a bastard, but he still understands it.
The only good thing about this guy is that he is kind and righteous, and he can cut both sides of his brothers. Kunshan must have not told his father when he came to him like this.
"Brother, why do you have to do this!" Kunshan raised his head and glared at
Lu Huaining said quietly: "You think I think, if it weren't for the fact that you were doing so well and so successfully in Guangzhou, with cars and planes, why should I work so hard?"
Kunshan found it funny: "So, it's my fault? I never meant to compare with you, let alone suppress you. I always regarded you as my brother, otherwise why would I bother myself?
Degenerate like a second-generation ancestor? I just don’t want to have the possibility of shaking your position. Now that I am far away, I think I can be myself. I don’t steal or rob, and I don’t fight with you. I think I have not done you any favors.
If you continue to blame me, it only shows that you are narrow-minded! I don't want to compare with you, but you want to compare with me, so there is nothing I can do. You still use this as a reason for you to harm the people. I think I can't bear it anymore!
