Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 82 Jia Dongxu’s Disaster
His face has also lost a lot of weight. It's summer. He is wearing single clothes, skinny and listless. He is slowly dragging a small cart. On the small cart are some iron ingots, estimated to weigh two to three hundred kilograms.

He was the only one carrying the goods, and everyone else must have completed their tasks. The creaking sound echoed in the empty loading and unloading yard.

When he saw someone coming, he looked up helplessly and rubbed his eyes. It took him a while to regain his energy.

"Shazhu, you're finally here, come on, come on, is there anything to eat? I'm starving, why did I come here?"

Silly Zhu was a little unhappy when he heard this. In addition, during this period of time, he had been angry with Jia Zhang. The trace of pity he had just disappeared. He looked around and took out two two-faced steamed buns from the package.

Jia Dongxu stretched out his hand, which was dark, and rubbed it hard on his pants a few times. It was still black. He ignored it, took the bun and gnawed it. He stuffed half of it down in a few seconds. He choked and stared. He stretched his neck with his eyes wide open.

Silly Zhu looked a little unbearable, walked forward, patted Jia Dongxu's back gently a few times, helped Jia Dongxu calm down, looked around again, and asked in a low voice.

"Why are you the only one working? Where are the others? No one is watching you work. When did you become so active?"

Jia Dongxu lowered his head and muttered.

"I'm so positive. They've all done it. If I don't do it, the whole team will beat me up tomorrow."

I pulled open the clothes on my chest. A few red marks were still there, but they were not obvious. They looked a bit like mosquito bites and spread. There were no bruises. I really couldn't tell the origin of the red marks.

Seeing that Silly Zhu didn't believe it, Jia Dongxu lifted his back again. There were also a few marks, which were very faint.

"They beat me a few days ago. They were really cruel. I don't know who taught me. They also beat me with a sack. There are no injuries on the outside, but the pain inside is severe. It took several days to heal."

"These people are really ruthless. If they can't finish the job, they'll beat them. After the beating, they'll have to continue..."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, he sobbed softly, and suddenly grabbed Silly Zhu's hand.

"Silly Zhu, you have to save me, you have to save me. You know, the security department came again today and said that the labor camp time has been extended by one month. I can't survive it."

Silly Zhu opened Jia Dongxu's hand hard. Hey, the new top I just bought needs to be washed. It will still be used for this blind date.

Looking at Jia Dongxu's ghostly appearance again, he was a little speechless.

"Brother Jia, you think too highly of me. I'm just a cook and I don't know any experts. I really can't help you with this matter."

Seeing Jia Dongxu's eyes full of disappointment, he couldn't help but say a few words of comfort.

"Brother Jia, it won't take long. The hard work will pass. Besides, if they can do it, you can do it too. Just be brave. Your wife and children are still waiting for you at home."

When it comes to his wife and children, Jia Dongxu's eyes light up.

"Silly Zhu, only you can save me. You see no one else is coming, so you can only help me. As long as you can let me out, I will give you whatever you want."

This matter of judgment can be solved by myself as a cook. The warnings of Director Wang and the director of the police station are still fresh in my mind, but the first man and Sister Qin have stopped. Are you going to do it yourself?

Silly Zhu was a little unhappy. He completed the labor reform tasks well in the workshop, and he was not in this trouble now. Besides, other people are capable, but you who are in labor reform can't do it. It doesn't make sense.

Looking at Jia Dongxu who is sitting paralyzed, he looks lazy. Everyone else is trying to help you, but you are still like a bear yourself, and you can't help but be a little mean when you speak.

"What can you give me? Without me, you would have gone to work in a kiln. I don't know if you are alive or not."

Jia Dongxu looked at Silly Zhu and knew very well that why he went through so much trouble was because he was looking for help.

Thinking of home and Silly Zhu's obedient appearance, an idea came to his lips.

I almost said it several times, but I still endured it. If I say these words, whether it will have any effect or not, even if I go out, my family will be broken up.

But he really had nothing, so he collapsed on the ground and muttered to himself.

"I will die like this. I can't survive it. I have to get out. I have to get out."

Silly Zhu looked at Jia Dongxu dumbfounded. He no longer had the high-spiritedness to call out friends, and no longer had the clever look of being lazy. "They've all finished, why haven't you finished your task? Did they deliberately increase the dosage for you? Report them to the security department. It's your business if you don't finish the task, so why should they beat you."

Jia Dongxu's face was full of bitterness and hatred.

"That's not true. The mission is the same for everyone, but they have basically been doing it for more than a year. I can't keep up with that speed."

"Everyone has the same task. If I fail to complete it and hold them back, it will affect their ability to become a regular employee, so I will be beaten."

This Jia Dongxu worked overtime because he couldn't complete the task. It wasn't because someone bullied him. Others could do it for more than a year, but he couldn't hold on or survive these days.

"Where will you stay tonight? None of your brothers come to see you? Bring you something to eat and drink."

Jia Dongxu pointed to the warehouse in front.

"I live in the warehouse in front. No one comes to see me. You are the first one, Silly Zhu. You can bring some food tomorrow. You can't do this strenuous work without enough food."

Today they all sneaked in. Tomorrow, forget it, I don’t even look like begging for help. If Sister Qin and the first uncle hadn’t come to the door together, I wouldn’t want to go through this muddy water.

Brother Zhu Xuefeng is right. A selfish person only sees himself and his own interests. It is only natural for others to treat him well, but he is acting like this, and he is still yelling at himself and calling him back and forth.

"This is a change of clothes that your wife brought to you. I also stuffed four steamed buns and some pickles in it. You can eat as much as you like."

He handed over the package and was about to turn around and leave.

"Why didn't you take it out earlier? It's better to have pickles than to swallow them dry."

Silly Zhu didn't hesitate anymore, patted his butt, turned around, and left.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu coming out, he stood up. When Sha Zhu came over, the two of them left the steel rolling mill together.

.........

"Sinzhu was sent in? No one stopped him?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang was still quite worried about her son being hungry. When she saw Qin Huairu coming back, she quickly asked for clarification.

"Six steamed buns and some pickles were sent in. I fooled the guards and Dongxu had already eaten them."

"Why is this stupid Zhu so stingy? He only gave you six steamed buns and some pickles, which is enough to eat a few times. Why don't you give him dozens of buns and some meat for my son to replenish himself? What a heartless and stingy thing. It’s hard to get in once, but I don’t want to give away more.”

Qin Huairu could no longer complain. This mother-in-law could explain the obvious things clearly. Whose rich family would give you so much food for free? There were dozens of them. You really thought the guard was blind. Didn't he just not send it in?

Thinking about it, in front of the uncle just now, Shazhu acted like it had nothing to do with him, and made it clear that he didn't want to go there anymore. He didn't have the chance to have a good chat with Shazhu about what he would do next time.

……

"Send it in?"

"Well, Zhu Zhu still has a way to send him in, but I think Zhu Zhu doesn't want to go anymore, and I don't know what Dongxu said to him. When I asked him, he said he was given an additional month, and didn't say anything else."

"Okay, just worry about yourself, your blood pressure won't go down once it goes up."

"It's November now, so it's not easy to worry about..."

"When is the general meeting of the hospital you mentioned going to be held? The food at home is really unsustainable. Food is being delivered every day..."

"Now is not the time. We have to find an opportunity. Let's wait..."
