"It's really too hot." Lin Qi's voice came, and soon he appeared at the door, carrying several bottles of soda in his hand.
"I bought a few bottles of soda for everyone. Let's sit down and cool down for a while."
Several people who were still a little stiff at first stopped what they were doing after hearing the soda. Gu Xingye was the first to come over, took a bottle and directly put it in his mouth to open it with his teeth. He drank half of the bottle.
A touch of sweat fell on his cheeks, and he burped happily.
"It's all useless in a day. A bottle of soda only costs a few cents. A salary increase is the most real thing." Liu Dashan muttered dissatisfied and followed everyone else to get a bottle of soda.
As Liu Dashan approached, a strong smell of alcohol followed, and Lin Qi's delicate brows frowned unconsciously.
"Why are you free to come here today?" Gu Xingye changed the topic and asked.
Although he was also dissatisfied with Liu Dashan, after all, it was their brothers who found him, and he was Gu Xingmin's eldest brother-in-law. Any conflicts should be resolved privately as much as possible or in private.
Lin Qi turned his head and said with a nonchalant smile: "I visited two construction sites in the morning. Although the negotiation was not successful, I made friends with a fellow villager from Xingshan County next to us."
Zhao Qi answered: "Xingshan County is further away than us."
Lin Qi nodded: "Well, I heard that I came out with my relatives and signed a contract with the Municipal Highway Bureau."
"Building roads? It's the Municipal Highway Bureau. You must make a lot of money in a month, right?" When he heard that he was a contract worker, Zhang Tiezhu's tone showed a bit of envy.
For rural people, formal employment is unthinkable, so being able to work as a contract worker in the city is already a great achievement.
After Liu Dashan drank up a bottle of soda, he threw the bottle to his feet, smacked his lips twice and said, "It's no need to ask, he is a contract worker, and his treatment is definitely not good. This person is incomparable.
I can only say that I have made a good relative."
With the sinister tone, anyone who is not a fool can understand the meaning behind the words.
Gu Xingguo and Gu Xingye's faces turned dark when they heard what he said. Only Gu Xingmin lowered his head and couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Lin Qixiao: "It's definitely not comparable to the formal ones, but it's still more than earning money from farming at home. It's thirty-four yuan a month. Although it doesn't provide food and accommodation, we all built a shed together at the construction site.
You don’t have to worry about the heat, but you can save money on hotel accommodation.”
Everyone had different expressions after hearing what he said.
Zhao Qi and Zhang Tiezhu were originally envious of contract workers, but they heard Lin Qi say that it only cost thirty-four yuan a month. Although they also did not have food and accommodation, they did not have to bask in the sun, and it took less than a month to finish the last two jobs.
Well, I have already earned more than sixty.
Why are they envious? In comparison, they probably earn more than regular workers.
Gu Xingye and Gu Xingguo were not too surprised. Based on their understanding of Chen Lishu, it was completely expected. As long as they followed her, they would rather earn less themselves than share more with everyone.
Liu Dashan didn't take it seriously. He was a little drunk after drinking. Now he thought Lin Qi was just trying to deceive everyone, so he said: "We don't know. Of course, it's what you say. It's ignorant."
If you have a good conscience and make money from your own relatives, then the third daughter-in-law of Gu is really embarrassed."
"Liu Dashan, please be careful what you say. If it weren't for the fact that you are my second brother's uncle, who would really be willing to bring you here?"
Gu Xingye pointed directly at Liu Dashan and said: "Why does Xiao Lin need to lie to us about this kind of thing? You have the wages in your pocket. If you don't believe me, go out and ask around. What kind of work can earn sixty or seventy a month!"
"Okay, third brother, please stop saying a few words." Gu Xingmin, who had been silent until now, suddenly shouted at Gu Xingye.
The reason why he allowed Liu Dashan to make a fuss was that he actually wanted to increase his wages. He had been working for a while, especially the job he took on recently. He knew that the entire project was worth 5,000 yuan. Even after deducting wages and materials, at least
There are still two thousand left.
They worked together to do the hard work, but Chen Lishu had to share the lion's share. Without them, how could Chen Lishu make this money? In the final analysis, she did not regard them as a family.
Gu Xingye looked at him with a bad expression and asked, "Second brother, what on earth do you think?"
Gu Xingmin: "What can I think? Aren't we working with everyone every day?"
Lin Qi took out 40 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liu Dashan: "Brother Liu, after the job is completed, each person will receive 60 yuan as promised, and an additional 20 yuan will be given as a reward. Although we have only done half of it now, it is still a long way away.
It’s not easy to come here, here is forty yuan for you to take.”
Liu Dashan was still a little high-spirited at first, but when he saw Lin Qi's behavior, he suddenly woke up and asked: "You, what do you mean?"
"There happens to be a train back to the county town in the afternoon, or if you want to continue doing this work, I can help you introduce some other places, but you have to drink less. After all, the construction site is not like here. If there is a safety accident, it can happen at any time.
It could cost lives."
After hearing what he said, Liu Dashan completely sobered up and did not accept the money Lin Qi handed over. He was scared and very angry at the same time: "Why do you drive me away? The work is already halfway done. Besides, without me, you guys can't do anything."
Can the work be delivered within twenty days?”
Lin Qi was not angry, and still smiled kindly: "Look at what you said, Brother Liu. If you can't afford the expensive one, you can always find two cheap ones. As the saying goes, three cobblers can rival Zhuge Liang.
, even if I'm not as capable as you, Brother Liu, I can still make do with it."
Liu Dashan's face turned red and white as he was told this, and he turned to look at Gu Xingmin as if asking for help: "Brother-in-law, this job belongs to your third daughter-in-law, right?"
He usually makes trouble just because he is unbalanced in his heart, and he is sure that Chen Lishu will not do anything to him even if she knows about Gu Xingmin's relationship. Who would have thought that Lin Qi, who was just an errand boy, would actually become serious about it.
Gu Xingmin stood up from the ground, looked at Lin Qi and patted his shoulder with a smile: "If there is anything wrong with my uncle, just tell me, driving him away is a bit too much."
It's just that although he is smiling, there is not much smile in his eyes.
"Okay." Lin Qi nodded with a smile: "I am a real person. If you say this, second brother, I will go straight to the point."
Lin Qi's originally smiling eyes turned cold the next second.
"Liu Dashan, not only was he passive and slack during work, but he even drank. His bonus was cancelled, and an additional five yuan was deducted from his salary."
Lin Qi paused for a moment and continued: "Also, I didn't see anything like it at work before, so I don't care. But if you find me again in the future, you will pay me and leave immediately. This is where we work, not
To raise an uncle!”
"You are just a stinky part-time worker, why should you deduct my bonus and wages? My brother-in-law is the eldest brother named Chen!" Liu Dashan was not convinced. When he looked at Lin Qi, the veins on his neck bulged.
