The next morning, after the two cousins ate some food, they started to go their separate ways.
Sun Jinzhong went to Brother Qiang's house in Yanbei Village. Chen Hai was alone and went to Liuyuan No. 1 Middle School to find Director Tao.
At the school gate, the simple wall still surrounds the construction site, leaving only a gap for people to enter and exit freely.
However, Liuyuan No. 1 Middle School, in addition to the main entrance here, there is also a side entrance on the other side.
In addition, it is still summer vacation and there are no students in the school. Only some faculty and staff want to enter and exit the school. After knowing that there is construction here, most people go directly to the side door when entering and exiting the campus.
Through the gap in the simple fence, Chen Hai got in and checked the situation of the pit.
Zeng Zhiguo and his gang really worked hard yesterday to dig a large pit more than seven meters deep, which they have completely filled up.
However, although the pit has been leveled, the concrete floor will still take some time to be re-levelled.
It is now around nine o'clock in the morning, and Zeng Zhiguo's group of workers are busy here, paving the cement floor.
On the contrary, it was Zeng Zhiguo himself, and Chen Hai did not see his shadow here.
Chen Hai was a little familiar with the workers on the construction team, namely Xiao Wu and Xiao Hei.
These three guys were manually stirring cement at the moment. When they saw Chen Hai, they were slightly stunned.
After looking at each other, these guys chatted with each other for a while. When they looked at Chen Hai again, there was actually a bit more resentment in their eyes.
Yesterday, the double wages promised by Zeng Zhiguo to them were naturally gone from the moment they walked out of the pit.
I don’t know if it’s because Zeng Zhiguo himself was reprimanded, but after finishing work last night, he also severely scolded Xiao Wu and Xiao Hei.
He also threatened that if he behaves like this in the future, he will not do anything with him!
Nowadays, workers in cities are starting to be laid off in droves, and the number of surplus labor in rural areas is even greater.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Wu worked with Zeng Zhiguo for a year or two. The work they did was basically manual work with no technical content.
When Zeng Zhiguo fired them, he could easily find replacements.
And if they lose this job, they really don’t know where else they can make money!
Perhaps, it is because of these reasons that even Chen Hai seems to hate them!
Feeling the looks that Xiaowu, Xiaohei and others were looking at him, Chen Hai frowned slightly.
Yesterday's exhumation of corpses was indeed a bit unpleasant!
But from Chen Hai's point of view, he really didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
After all, it should be the job of No. 1 Middle School to invite Zeng Zhiguo and his gang to come over and dig out the bones from the ground.
The corpse buried underground looks a bit evil, and it is indeed true.
However, besides repeatedly ensuring that Xiao Hei and Xiao Wu would be fine, Chen Hai also gave them a lot of extra money!
Finally, after these guys piled up their burdens and left, he had no choice but to ask Sun Jinzhong to come down, and the two of them started digging up the bones themselves.
If you really want to talk about it, Chen Hai is really the most benevolent and righteous man!
After digging up the bones with Sun Jinzhong, he felt unhappy. Why couldn't he complain a few words in front of Zeng Zhiguo and Director Tao?
These guys looked at him with hatred, and Chen Hai lazily argued with them!
After scanning around to make sure Zeng Zhiguo was not here, he took big steps and walked directly into the campus.
"Fifth brother, Sheng brother, I went to the toilet in No. 1 Middle School and had a few chats with an old man there!"
"Do you know how much the boy named Chen who just passed by can get paid for the work we do?"
Approaching the other two people, Xiao Hei glanced around and whispered.
Among the three of them, the other two were already in their thirties, but he was the only one in his twenties.
In their small construction team, Xiao Hei has to call anyone he meets "brother".
"How much can I get? One hundred? Or two hundred?"
"This guy surnamed Chen must be quite capable if he can dig out those bones from the ground."
"In our rural areas, those magicians and goddesses who practice magic to ward off evil spirits will be accused of being evil-minded if they charge hundreds of dollars for one practice."
"Is it possible that the remuneration that this person named Chen received from No. 1 Middle School could be in the thousands?"
With a shovel in his hand, Xiao Wu responded smoothly while stirring the cement.
"Thousands of shit, Fifth Brother, let me tell you, this boy named Chen can handle this matter, he can get this number..."
With a mysterious look, Xiao Hei stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Xiao Wu and Brother Sheng.
"What? Two thousand?"
"Isn't this impossible? It took us two or three days to dig a pit so deep!"
"But that kid, in the first two days, he was very leisurely and came here to hang out twice. It wasn't until the third day that he really got started and did some work!"
"We people work very hard and earn less than ten yuan a day. If he takes two thousand, I will be the first to refuse!"
Brother Sheng exclaimed. He looked into the distance and saw Chen Hai's almost disappearing back, with a look of resentment on his face and said.
"Xiao Hei, you didn't hear wrongly, did you misunderstand two hundred as two thousand?"
"For the little things that man named Cheng did, how could he get so much money!"
Xiao Wu on the side obviously didn't believe Xiao Hei's words. He looked suspicious and opened his mouth to confirm.
"What two thousand? I said twenty thousand!"
"Fifth brother, Sheng brother, if you don't believe what I say, you can go inside and ask anyone at will!"
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Hei continued with a sullen face: "Those of us who work hard only get such a small amount of wages."
"Those guys who are leisurely and leisurely wandering around, even if they stay here, they have to get a sun umbrella to cover themselves for fear of being burned by the sun, but they can make a lot of money."
"The world is so unfair, tell yourselves, are you willing to do it?"
Xiao Wu and Brother Sheng looked at each other and fell silent.
"So what if you are willing? So what if you are not willing?"
After a while, Brother Sheng let out a long sigh before speaking again and sighing with emotion.
Xiao Wu beside him had eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking about at this moment!
"I have a buddy who lives on the edge of the national highway. There are many people there. They are civilians during the day and bandits at night. They live a pretty good life!"
"A few days ago, when I was drinking with him, he told me that in this day and age, the coward will starve to death and the bold will starve to death."
"If you want to make money, you can't be pedantic. You have to put aside all benevolence, justice and morality!"
…
Xiao Hei had a ruthless look on his face, he came close to Xiao Wu and Brother Sheng and started whispering in a low voice.
