One night we reunited after a long absence and had a very sumptuous dinner, red roses, and the tributes on the table. We had cooked a white chicken meal for us before.
While we were eating, we were chatting about some of the things that had happened over the years.
In fact, for Mu Hua, he is really a very legendary figure. Although he is the eldest brother of us and Brother Gui, he has completely different character than the two of us.
Muhua's family was born into a wealthy family, but he came out after the family declined. Of course, he attended private school and read many books before he was 16 years old.
Mu Hua is considered a talented man with both good character and academics. He said that he was planning to study abroad. If it weren't for the reasons at home, he would have been delayed. We also feel very sorry for his situation.
Pity.
I remember that at that time, Brother Gui and I often went to this restaurant to smoke old money to earn some living expenses. Only in this way could we support ourselves.
Later, Mu Hua also went to the dock to help out and did some chores after his family ran out of money. Over time, the two of us got to know each other.
Our meeting was quite interesting. Later, because the three of us hit it off so well, we formed the Taoyuan Three Brothers.
Because Mu Hua is a few years older than us, he is our eldest brother. We have been hanging out with him since we were young, and he has always helped us generously, and occasionally teaches us how to be a good person.
Although we often drink and chat together, his living habits are really different from ours. He has never gambled or drank randomly. Of course, he is a kind of gentleman who is only willing to do the right things.
Our business has never been as crooked as ours.
Later, a very important thing happened in our hometown.
Because there was a food shortage in the family at that time, many people were unable to eat this bowl of rice. Later we found out that the landlord Lao Cai had stored a lot of food in his warehouse. Of course, everyone had no power and did not dare to resist.
Later, many years later, I found out that when we woke up the next morning, we heard a big gong beating, saying that we were going to get this grain.
The one beating the gong is Mu Hua.
"Old blind date people all over the world, listen to the rice falling from the sky now, please take it home and eat it as soon as possible!"
I remember that at that time, everyone rushed out with their bowls in hand to see that there were dozens of bags of rice being stocked on the street, all of which were in open warehouses, so everyone happily went shopping for a few bowls of rice to take home.
Later I found out that it was Mu Hua who secretly climbed over the wall into the landlord's house with a knife in the middle of the night, knocked out the landlord's thugs, tied them to a tree, and then tied them with cloth.
Tightly choked their mouths.
Later, Mu Hua arrogantly transported dozens of bags of grain out at night, so when he got up the next morning, he distributed the grain to the people.
Tell us in Mu Hua's original words.
"Some rich people actually insist that they can't do things that harm the common people, and they let the prices of these grains go up. If this is the case, then I will learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and share these grains with everyone!"
Later, whenever the common people talked about Mu Hua, they would hold up their thumbs and say that he was a great hero.
I remember that we relied on this food to survive the famine that winter. Without the support of such a small amount of food, I believe that many of us would not have been able to survive that severe winter.
After the later landlord Lao Cai learned about this, he jumped on his feet and took a dozen of his men to prepare to capture Mu Hua.
But how could Mu Hua be an ordinary person? Although he could do these things, he had already thought of a way out. He was wanted all over the city, so he had to leave us.
Until today when I saw Mu Hua, we had actually been separated for three years. I didn't expect that things had really changed during these three years, but Mu Hua was still the same Mu Hua.
Everyone knows what happened later, because a famine in my hometown continued year after year, and I had no choice but to come out in order to make a living.
More importantly, because Red Rose owed a lifetime debt, we also escaped to avoid the debt. So after much deliberation, the three of us headed directly to the city of Muhua to join Muhua.
I cried with joy. When I looked at Mu Hua, there was really no change in his expression. I asked him worriedly.
"What happened to Li Muhua later? How did you spend the past three years after you came here? How come when they were looking for you, they heard that you had been beaten to death by others and sunk into the Yangtze River?
What happened to the fish they fed inside? Who did you offend? "
He smiled faintly.
"Actually, it only took me three years to get here. I'm really sorry. I haven't made any progress in these four or three years. When I came here, I started from the most basic things.
As a dock worker, I originally wanted to earn some decent money and save it properly in the future. When I saved enough money, I wanted to be a stupid little granddaughter. But later on, I discovered
Not only can I not make any money, but I have also been starving for a long time. Until now, I really have no choice but to save money."
Brother Gui also felt very strange when he saw this, because we came to this city relatively quickly, and it was a coincidence that we were able to get this facade.
"Mu Hua, what did you do? What happened next? Can you tell us?"
Li Muhua ate directly, and then calmly told us the cause and effect of this matter.
"Actually, when we were working at this terminal, a very serious landslide occurred some time ago. We were building a train station and later died. Three workers were seriously injured, five of them, and 13 of them were injured.
According to this situation, although it is a relatively serious construction accident, then we should reasonably and reasonably get some money back from these bosses and give them medical expenses, even if it is the money I got in our hometown.
It's reasonable, but the people here won't give it to you at all. The boss here thinks that we are making trouble unreasonably, and not only refuses to pay a penny, but also sends thugs to threaten us, thinking that if we continue to do this,
Just drive us out.”
Red Rose patted her heart in fear.
"Hey Mu Hua, don't talk about these things. These things are like this in many places. If you want them to take it out, it will be harder than climbing to the sky. You won't make trouble in the future, right? ?”
Li Muhua smiled.
"Sure enough, it was Red Rose who came to understand me. How could I bear to swallow it? Later, I brought hundreds of brothers to meet them directly at the dock and said that I would get the money back. They bargained with us to pay back the money. They threaten us that anyone who dares to take this money will have trouble with them."
I was stunned for a moment and asked him.
"Which company is so cruel?"
"The person in charge of New Century Company is Boss Du, known as Du 13."
I didn't expect that Boss Du is really insidious and cunning. I can even imagine how a person like him could spit out some money. For such a yin and yang weird person, I have no feelings for him. I am very worried about what Li Muhua has experienced.
"What happened later, did you get the factory compensation?"
"Later we got the money, but there were some twists and turns in the process?"
Brother Gui boldly asked: "I dare say you almost got into a fight. I'm sure they will never give it to you so easily!"
"right!"
"What should we do?"
Li Muhua: "Then what can we do? If we get this compensation, we will not resume work. If we don't go to work, I don't see how they can complete this project performance. Even if they can do it, Then others will definitely not be willing to do it for them, so we decided to make it a requirement in this way."
I took a breath, because this method is indeed cruel enough, it is just absolutely terrible.
"Brother Mu Hua, if you do things like this, wouldn't I pose a great threat to them? You also know that if people don't do this, then a day's delay will waste a day's wages. They want You delivered this project on schedule. Your approach is indeed ruthless."
Li Muhua smiled faintly and nodded firmly.
"Yes, we have our position. If the other party doesn't give it, we will definitely not do it. Then they actually threw a knife in front of us and said that whoever dares to take the money will be punished with this knife?"
I said it immediately.
"So I'm sure, Brother Mu Hua, you will take the money away without hesitation and kick the knife aside, right?"
Li Muhua raised his head and laughed loudly and patted my shoulder, with a happier mood, not at all frightened by such a story.
"Of course, this money must be taken. We must give these workers some comfort. They must get this money to support their families. And if they don't get this money, what will happen to their lives? ?If their illness cannot be treated, then the whole family will not be able to survive despite their good fortune."
Hong Rose said fearfully next to her.
"It's really damning. This money is their hard-earned money. Think about it, how much does a pound of rice cost now? You can't even buy 5 pounds of rice for a round head. How difficult is it for us to have this thing?" However, sometimes it may take a month to earn a piece of ocean, and a family can only eat less than 5 kilograms of rice in a month. This does not mean that people will starve to death."
Li Muhua nodded, looked at us firmly and said.
"Yes, so I don't say that this mayor must be very confused. I can only say that we get the remuneration generated by our labor according to the needs of the work. If we are injured, it is reasonable for us to get the medical expenses. We are not blackmailing them, we are just safeguarding our rights."
I looked at him with admiration. His hands were full of heroic care. He was really still the Li Muhua I knew.
I can even imagine that Li Muhua would squat down slowly while keeping the cold blade in front of everyone, then slowly pick up the money, and then slowly return to the team, doing After that, I will definitely face Mr. Du in a very righteous way.
I know him very well. He has the kind of heroic knight that really reminds me of me in this life. He has that kind of narrow situation that reminds me of another person. The same is true for Shenyang.
In fact, sometimes I feel that their life is not just about eating and drinking. They have a very lofty belief, and something I can't understand has a glorious temperament in them. .
He continued to tell his story.
"Later, we felt that this matter should not be handled in this way forever. Every time something happened, we would organize it. Then we might as well make a team like this, and all the workers at the dock who came to protect our people would Interests. Later, we actually established such a pairing, allowing everyone to participate one after another."
Brother Gui asked in confusion.
"What is a team? Why can you organize such a team? Can this team make a living? What does it do?"
Li Muhua, watch us explain it carefully in the future.
"Actually, everyone comes here to make a living. It's not easy for everyone. We should unite and take care of each other. If we just work alone, we will be easily bullied by others, so Then we set up such a team, and then more and more people joined in, and the strength became stronger and stronger. In this way, we can tell our bosses our demands and tell them our interests. What we should do We will definitely do things, we will never push back and forth, but we will definitely get the rights we want."
When I looked at this, my eyes lit up.
"Well, it's good for Brother Mu Hua to be so brave. Then no one will bully us in the future. If anyone dares to fight with us, then we will be like the Boxers and destroy them. Wouldn't it be better? Really? Those old Americans must be more afraid of us, right?"
Li Muhua shook his head.
"That's not the case, that's not how we understand it. Although we have such a team here, we still do our part and do our part conscientiously and do what we should do. But we It is to fight for our interests and not allow them to bully us anytime and anywhere. If we are bullied or defraud more of our surplus labor value without giving us corresponding remuneration, then we will negotiate with them. , tell them our needs?”
I looked at him in confusion and plucked my ears as if I didn't hear clearly.
"So what if we fight with them? Or if they are defeated, wouldn't they be even more scared? Then we will go directly to the young master or something, and then we can do whatever we want."
Li Muhua smiled.
"We are not some kind of unity in the world, we are just a unity of migrant workers. We only do our duty. You said that kind of fighting and killing is not suitable for us. What we do is to create our duty.
The value of what we should do is to get a reasonable salary to support our family. We will not cause trouble to this society, and we will only make our own contribution to this society."
Brother Red Rose Ghost and I looked at each other. For such a question and such a common concept, we felt that this word was too great and we really couldn’t understand it.
It took many, many years for me to finally understand the reason and reason behind what Li Muhua said to us today.
"What about this thing? You will gradually understand it in the future, but I won't say it anymore. How are you doing now? What are you doing now? Do you want to do something together?"
I looked at him as he described the matter so plainly and talked about the matter of him being pushed down the Yangtze River, but I still wanted to ask.
"But Brother Mu Hua, you haven't told me just now, why they all said you were dead, why you have such a great ability and control of such a large group, why do they still push you to the Yangtze River?
How about feeding the fish inside?"
Li Muhua's eyes dimmed for a moment.
"Because I offended them, because my compensation made them feel embarrassed, so I just want to kill the chicken in this way to show the monkey. I want us to directly cancel such a team of ordinary people.
In fact, it inspired us even more to feel a sense of power.”
I heard him talk about it so plainly, but I can actually imagine how thrilling it was when he was thrown into the Yangtze River by others.
Because Li Muhua has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Although he is not as powerful as the Thirteen Taibos, he is still more than enough to deal with some people.
If someone really went to hurt Li Muhua like this, it is conceivable that what happened that day must have been a crisis that Li Muhua could not bear.
"Brother Mu Hua, have they already threatened you?"
Li Muhua smiled, as if he was telling what happened that day like a storyteller.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I happened to be eating this lunch by the Yangtze River that day and was preparing to go to the dock to transport goods. Later, I don't know why, but I suddenly felt something strange, because there were four black people standing directly in front of me.
Before I could move, I realized what was happening. They immediately pulled out some guys and wanted to chase me. I was fine at the time, but in desperation, I took the author's bench and waved it directly at them. Now this thing also happened.
That's it, but later on I suffered some injuries and hurriedly jumped into the Yangtze River and swam directly to the other side, so I escaped this disaster!"
When I heard him describe it like this, I almost cried. It was so dangerous.
Red Rose has long been clasping his hands to Amitabha. It seems that everyone has lingering fears about Li Muhua's survival. (To be continued)
