The little girl trembled with fright, raised her head and looked at Lin Xu, curled her lips, and almost cried.
In fact, Lin Xu is a very calm person and rarely gets angry, let alone towards a child!
But at this moment, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart!
Seeing the little girl's frightened look, Lin Xu quickly stepped forward, touched her head, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, uncle is not trying to hurt you..."
At this time, the old village chief Lin Guangde walked over quickly: "Xiao Xu, what's going on?"
"Second uncle, who asked these children to work here? How old are they? How dangerous it is to stay in a place like a brick factory! You didn't see her just now, a girl as young as her, holding a piece of blue brick.
She walked towards the pile of bricks, and the brick fell down and almost hit her foot! If her foot was really broken, who will take the responsibility?! Who can take the responsibility?!"
Listening to Lin Xu's words, Lin Guangde lowered his head in shame: "It's my fault, I asked them to come..."
"Second uncle, I have told you several times that safety always comes first in the brick kiln! You are the manager of the brick factory, so you must keep this in mind! Let such a young child come to work
,Do you think it fits?"
Lin Xu was really too angry, so he spoke in a more serious tone.
Lin Guangde sighed deeply: "Xiaoxu, I remember everything you said! Originally, I thought they were too young and didn't want them to come, but... there are a few
My child, their family is having such a hard time!"
"Take Xiao Hua'er, for example. Her mother died in childbirth last year, and her father is crippled. He can't walk easily and can't go to work at all. There is also a little brother who is over one year old at home. Even the poor family can't take the blame.
She only eats one meal a day, and it is boiled wild vegetables in water, not even a single grain... You see, Xiaohua is almost six years old this year, but she is about the same size as a four-year-old child...
.”
"Her father crawled over and begged me to give his family a bite of food, otherwise the whole family would starve to death!"
"There are three people in her family. Although Xiaohua is young, she is the only one who can work... I tried to get her to come to the brick factory to help collect firewood, but I didn't give it to her.
After getting paid, I only care about her having two meals a day..."
"Although Xiaohua is young, she is filial! She never eats at the construction site, but takes the food back to her father and brother to eat. She still eats wild vegetables boiled in water..."
"I originally only asked her to collect firewood, not to carry bricks, but the little girl felt that she only had to collect firewood and take care of two meals every day. She felt bad, so she always carried bricks secretly..."
"I told her several times, but she just didn't listen..."
Speaking of this, Lin Guangde couldn't control his emotions, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
Lin Xu's eyes were also a little red, and his heart was even more uncomfortable!
"Second uncle, I understand...but the brick factory is too dangerous. It's better not to let children like them come here in the future. If something happens, it won't be worth the loss...
..”
"Why!"
Lin Guangde agreed, but in his heart he was thinking about how Xiaohua's family would live in the future!
He is willing to help, but there are more than one family in the village like Xiaohua. Although he can receive six cents a day, he also has a family to support, and in order to take care of others, other members of his family have not yet
Arrange to get to work!
We can barely cope with supporting one or two families, but when there are too many families, it is really beyond our capabilities!
Of course, he could ignore it, but as the village chief, if he watched the people in the village starve to death, he really couldn't get over it! This chapter has been completed!
