"Yeah, we didn't know each other until we started fighting. Later, we moved to a public shed and worked with a contractor."
Zhu Tianlei knows that in places like the labor market, many people work as casual workers, just waiting for employers to come to them. They are usually small jobs that can be completed on the same day, such as smashing walls, repairing sewer pipes, etc., which is better.
You can work for three to five days, such as carpentry. If you work with a contractor, although you may not earn that much, you will have someone to rely on. When there is no work, the contractor can also take care of food and housing.
"What did you two do before?"
"I'm a carpenter, and Du Peng knows how to renovate water and electricity."
Zhu Tianlei couldn't help but raise his eyes, yes, I really didn't realize that Zhang Tian and Du Peng were both skilled.
"Then why did you stop doing it later?"
"This...this is a bit hard to say. It's too embarrassing to say it."
Zhang Tian's face turned red and it seemed difficult to speak.
"Then stop talking and talk about something else."
Zhu Tianlei was just chatting and didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. Who didn't have some past events that they didn't want others to know?
"I got involved with the contractor's sweetheart, and ended up being kicked out. Du Peng was also implicated."
Just when Zhu Tianlei thought Zhang Tian would not mention this matter again, Zhang Tian actually opened his mouth again.
"However, I didn't mean it. Everyone drank that day, and that woman drank more than anyone else. She hugged my neck and refused to let go. The contractor even asked me to send the woman back. Who knew...
....Who knows...When I woke up, the woman and I were naked. Before we could react, we were blocked in the room by the contractor.
Du Peng still has more than half a year's wages in the hands of the contractor, alas..."
"So you just rob?"
"Chairman, we all know that robbery is wrong, but Du Peng and I both have wives and children, and Du Peng also has a mother who is paralyzed in bed. We have worked outside for a year and can't get back a penny.
I’m really too embarrassed to see them!”
"What about the second time? You both have skills, so why do you want to rob?"
"Chairman, to be honest, our skills are not very good. Anyway, if we work with the big workers, we can barely get by, but if we work alone, we won't be able to do it. After being educated by you on the train, we
The two of us originally wanted to find a job, but after two months of searching, no one wanted us. We were so poor that we didn’t even have money for food, so we finally decided to rob. Unexpectedly..."
Thinking that both robberies fell into the hands of Zhu Tianlei, Zhang Tian felt ashamed and lucky.
If they had met someone else instead of Zhu Tianlei, maybe the two of them would have gone further and further down the road of robbery, or they might have been arrested and imprisoned, and it is not impossible to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
"How old is the child?"
"I have two children. The eldest is a son. He is nine years old this year. The second is a girl and is six years old. Hehe, although my mother-in-law is not good at talking and scolds me for being useless all day long, she is not a bad person. She has been with me all these years.
I have endured a lot of hardships, but you never said you disliked me."
When he mentioned his wife and children, the lines on Zhang Tian's face softened.
"Du Peng has two sons, twins. I have seen photos. They look like tiger-headed ones, and they are better looking than Du Peng. His wife..."
Originally, Zhang Tian was still talking enthusiastically about his family and children, but suddenly he paused again.
"His wife ran away with someone, leaving his two children miserable."
"Who does the child live with now?"
"Du Peng's sister and the child's aunt, but who's family is having a hard time? The child's uncle has a bad temper and often scolds his sister. His sister is often scolded to the point of wiping away her tears. In addition, she has to take care of her paralyzed mother, and her life is also difficult.
It’s difficult enough.”
Seeing the regret on Zhang Tian's face, Zhu Tianlei was a little surprised.
I usually see Du Peng looking slightly numb, but I didn't expect this to be the case at home.
"Zhang Tian, no matter what kind of things you encounter in the future, you must not take the wrong path. If you take the wrong path at the beginning, there is no way to turn back. If anything happens to you or Du Peng, you will all
You can tell me that there is no difficulty in the world that cannot be overcome."
Hearing Zhu Tianlei's words, Zhang Tian nodded heavily, and his eye circles were slightly red.
He and Zhang Tian were more than ten years older than Zhu Tianlei, but in front of Zhu Tianlei, they both felt like children.
The night passed quickly.
Because there were people chatting, Zhang Tian didn't feel sleepy, and Zhu Tianlei's irritability slowly dissipated.
Lin Wanran never came back. It seemed that the child's condition was getting serious again.
Du Peng came over to take over from Zhang Tian, and after Yang Hua also arrived in the ward, Zhu Tianlei left the hospital. Du Peng and Yang Hua didn't ask. In their hearts, everything Zhu Tianlei did had its own purpose and starting point.
All they can do is support.
After Zhu Tianlei went out, he directly took out his mobile phone. He was going to ask Han Lin to come to Dahe County. He needed Han Lin's help with some things. After all, Han Lin had been the human resources director of Sun's Pharmaceutical for ten years. If someone said that Sun's
The pharmaceutical industry knew very well that this person must be Han Lin, but before he could press the number, his cell phone rang first.
"Tian Lei, the land in the village was dug up and set on fire. It's really...":
The call was from Yao Gang.
"Village chief, are you talking about that wasteland?"
"Yeah, the fire hasn't been put out yet. I don't know who did it."
Even though he was separated by the phone, Zhu Tianlei could still clearly hear the anger in Yao Gang's tone.
Zhu Tianlei's face couldn't help but darken.
What an eventful year it has been!
He was busy dealing with these things during this period, and he put aside the matter in the wasteland for the time being, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen.
If you dig it up, what else can it be? It must be the tomb.
"Village Chief, don't worry. Find someone to put out the fire first, so as not to cause a bigger fire. I'll drive back now. See you later."
Zhu Tianlei glanced at the time. It was nine-twenty in the morning. It would be no problem to come back in the evening.
Because he was anxious, Zhu Tianlei drove very fast and entered the village in less than an hour.
From a distance, black smoke could be seen billowing, and the direction in which the black smoke was drifting was exactly where the wasteland was.
"Tian Lei, are you here? Damn it, I really lack the virtue!"
Seeing Zhu Tianlei get out of the car, Yao Gang, who was standing on the side directing the fire extinguishing, came up to him. His face was a little red from the fire, and it was also covered with black grass ash.
The fire has been almost put out, and the open flame can no longer be seen.
There were more than a dozen villagers in the wasteland, carrying buckets, plastic basins and the like in their hands, still watering the smokey areas.
Seeing Zhu Tianlei, they all came over.
"Village Chief, what is going on?"
Fortunately, no big fire occurred, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
"Early in the morning, Huzi and a few children got up to go up the mountain. They wanted to go up the mountain to pick some hairy fruits to eat before the fog dispersed. As soon as they got here, they saw someone crouched down and didn't know what they were doing. Waiting for that person
As soon as I got up, the flames started to burst out. If there weren't a few tigers, the fire might have been so big!" (To be continued)
