dream village

Xiang'er no longer concealed her relationship with the coal mine, but she obviously doubted what Zhang Tao said, thinking that he was fabricating the facts.

Now it is almost certain that she has an unusual relationship with this coal mine, or she is the boss behind the scene, or a major shareholder, or for some other reason, she can secretly control this coal mine.

She should be very clear about the operation and management of this coal mine, but why does she still pretend to be innocent and ignorant?Isn't her heart as pure, beautiful and kind as she looks on the outside?

This thought made Zhang Tao even more depressed and a little annoyed.If she is also such a black-hearted boss, he feels that there is no need to linger on this relationship, and there is no need to save face for her, just do whatever he wants.

Zhang Tao has been looking forward to ridiculing or attacking the black-hearted coal boss who he hated since he was a child, and now he finally seized the opportunity.

So he said coldly: "How could it be? Don't you believe it? You can go back to the mine and ask a few workers, or ask the people nearby to find out."

Then his voice became more ruthless, even a little disgusted, "Let me tell you, a man in my village missed an accident at this coal mine a few days ago, and I took him to make a fuss. If I didn't get satisfactory compensation, I was an iron He made up his mind to smash this coal mine. But this time, Chen Laohei was kind of winking and didn't give me this chance."

"The person who can beat you is you!" Xiang'er exclaimed again, "I heard that you flew over a gate that was more than ten meters high, and even the dozens of security guards in the mine couldn't beat you alone."

Zhang Tao's attitude didn't change because of Xiang'er's praise. He snorted coldly and said, "I don't have any background, but I do have brute force. I didn't pay attention to the dozens of idiot security guards in the mine." inner."

He waved his fist and said bitterly, "You want to bully me and my folks? No way! I have no money or power, but I have fists!"

"No background?" Xiang'er frowned and seemed to be talking to herself, "The mine says you have a great background, and the head of the police station, Zhu Qing, dare not mess with you. Whenever he sees you, he has to call you Brother Tao."

"You mean that the coal mine pays so generously and readily this time, it's because of my background!" Zhang Tao said contemptuously.But he suddenly realized in his heart that there was such a song in the way that things went so smoothly that time!

Xiang'er nodded and said seriously: "It should be like this. I know Chen Laohei, and he has a lot of power behind him. He is not a very timid person."

After a pause, she said hesitantly: "Accordingly, 10 yuan in compensation for each mining accident shouldn't be considered low! Why..."

Zhang Tao laughed out loud, and after laughing, he said sarcastically, "10 yuan?! If I don't take anyone to make trouble this time, it would be great to have [-] yuan! In my village, at least There are seven or eight, which one is not sent by ten or twenty thousand yuan?"

At this point, his voice was filled with anger, "Every living life is just gone, and what is left is a ruined family, and the boundless suffering that falls on the orphans and widows. .That little compensation, no! It should be what is the money for working your life? These goddamn bosses are too vicious and cruel!..." His grief and indignation were so overwhelming that he couldn't continue.

Xiang'er lowered her head, her face was flushed, her chest heaved sharply, as if she was ashamed of her actions.

After a while, she said in a mosquito-like voice: "Tao, stop talking, I am actually the owner of this coal mine. I'm sorry, I really don't know what you are talking about. I seldom come to the mine, basically every other day. It took a few months to see the accounts."

"Oh! It turned out to be Boss Liu. No wonder I have such a style, I really don't know Taishan!" Zhang Tao said mockingly.

"Actually, the mine accident compensation standard I set is 10 yuan, and the investment in safety is relatively large..."

Zhang Tao interrupted her again and said, "Really? Then you are a good boss!"

Xiang'er blushed and argued, "Tao, believe me, I didn't lie to you. I have only taken over this coal mine for more than a year. I didn't intervene in many management matters. It was my husband named Chen Laohei. My brother is taking care of it." Zhang Tao's distrust made her very sad, and tears of grievance rolled in her eyes.

Zhang Tao looked at her in surprise, and listened to her continue with some doubts.

Xiang'er tried her best to control her emotions, sobbing and said: "Since I took over, all expenditures in the mine have always been paid on time on a monthly basis, and there is no default status. All mine disasters are compensated at least 10 yuan. Write it clearly."

"Could it be that Chen Laohei is doing something tricky without telling me?" Xiang'er looked straight at Zhang Tao, as if she wanted to find the answer from him.

Zhang Tao began to believe what she said, but he still had a big doubt in his heart. Before this doubt was resolved, he really couldn't say much.

Zhang Tao thought over and over again, and finally asked hesitantly, "You...how about your husband..."

As soon as he spoke, Xiang'er's face turned pale, and then seemed to be covered with a layer of severe frost.

Zhang Tao was taken aback by the change in her face, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter! Are you uncomfortable?"

Xiang'er glanced at Zhang Tao gratefully, and said calmly, "He's dead."

"Dead?" Her calm tone made Zhang Tao surprised again.

"Yes, I died naked on the bed in the hotel with the second lady, overdosed on white powder, and died of excitement." This sentence seemed to be bitten out by Xiang'er, her voice was deep and full of endless anger , shame and sorrow.

Zhang Tao had heard about this incident, and it was aroused in the society at that time.The deceased was Zhou Xingwu, the son of a deputy mayor of Shennong.The cause of death was said to be poison, others said it was love, wealth, and some said it was gangster related.

The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the police later intervened in the investigation. Although various versions of gossip continued to spread, they never announced an accurate result, which made the case even more confusing.

A few months later, the deceased's father, Deputy Mayor Zhou, retired early for no reason, which seemed to announce the conclusion and conclusion of the case.But there may be only a few people who really know the inside story, and what is left to the general public is still endless reverie and speculation.

After hearing Xiang'er's words, Zhang Tao felt a sense of relaxation first.During the short time spent with her, even in the most passionate moments, there would still be a thick shadow in his heart from time to time, accepting the torture of ethics, morality and justice and conscience mixed in it, which made him unable to Enjoy the happiness and joy brought by this passion with all your body and mind.

But now the shadow suddenly disappears, all the constraints and obstacles are gone, all those worries, doubts, and condemnations are gone, and he can let his mind be free and follow the feeling of his heart to pursue his own happiness.

At the same time, some emotions that he suppressed before secretly raised his head, Xinxin looked at him, conveying a kind of secret and indescribable pride and joy.

Soon he felt ashamed and annoyed by his own performance, "How could I be so dirty and selfish? How could I be proud and secretly happy about her misfortune and pain?"

As a result, sympathy arose spontaneously, and a man's pride surged up to protect his injured woman, Zhang Tao took the initiative to embrace her in his arms, and said tenderly: "Xiang'er, I didn't expect you to have such an unfortunate past. "
