I brought a Jurassic

Chapter 106 Helping Classmates
Wang Yadong's house is not far from Wang Luo's house, separated by four or five alleys, but just these few alleys, it feels like a world of difference. One belongs to West City and the other belongs to North City. No matter what, the people in the yard are employees of the steel rolling mill. As a steel industry, it is a key development industry and is numbered.

But the situation here on Wang Yadong's side was not so good. There were people from all walks of life there, some riding tricycles, some doing odd jobs, and so on. One could tell by looking at the clothes worn by the people in the alley, that they were worse than those in Nanluoguxiang. The children running back and forth also had obviously pale faces. Looking at these, he just shook his head. Fortunately, he had brought back food, otherwise, not only in the countryside, but also here, life would not be easy.

"Young man, who are you looking for?"

After entering the slum, an old man with a hunched back, unshaven beard and patched clothes asked Wang Luo.

"Uncle, does Wang Yadong live in this courtyard? I'm his classmate, and I came to see him."

"Oh, Yadong's classmate, come in quickly. He is in the innermost courtyard. Turn left after entering the door. There is a kitchen at the door!"

The old man enthusiastically showed Wang Luo the way.

"Okay, thanks, sir!"

After expressing his thanks, Wang Luo entered the yard. To be honest, it was only when he saw this yard that he knew what a slum was. The houses were low, the windows were small, and there was only hard ground in the yard without any bricks, let alone any corridors. In comparison, the courtyard where he lived was different. It was obvious that it was where dignitaries lived. The bricks and wood were of good quality, and the house was well-built, especially the rooms where he lived, and hey, the big garden.

"Is Wang Yadong at home?"

When he saw the kitchen, Wang Luo shouted.

"Hey, hey, hey, Wang Luo! Why are you here?"

Hearing the shouting, a tall but skinny, dark-faced boy came out dragging his cloth shoes. When he saw it was Wang Luo, he came over enthusiastically and pulled him.

"How the hell can I not come? My best classmate dropped out of school while I was away from school, doing good deeds and beating tigers. You are the same. If something happened at home, you should tell me and we can think of a solution. But you are such a good student, it would be a pity if you dropped out of school. What's the matter? I am a guest after all, so why don't you let me stay outside?"

Wang Luo scolded with a smile.

"I left in a hurry and didn't have time to say goodbye to you. Sorry, come in quickly, Mom and Dad, my classmates are here."

After shouting to someone inside the house, she took Wang Luo into the house and came towards them. A middle-aged woman with gray hair, about forty years old, and a yellow complexion walked out.

"This is my mom. Mom, this is my best friend at school, Wang Luo. He's the tiger-fighting hero mentioned in the newspaper a few days ago."

"Hello, auntie. I apologize for my intrusive visit!"

Wang Luo greeted with a smile.

"Oh my, I didn't expect that the tiger-fighting hero who was in the newspaper was actually our Yadong's classmate. Come in, come in, it's cold at home, please don't mind!"

Yadong's mother said politely.

"If you say that, I will take it into consideration. I will have a meal at your house tonight."

"Welcome, welcome! Let's make dumplings tonight."

He casually put the meat and some cornmeal on the table and looked around this simple home: an old table, a few benches, a cupboard, and a cabinet about 1.5 meters in size.

Although it looks simple, it is very clean and there is no odor at all. There are two rooms in the middle, which are probably bedrooms.

"It's good to make dumplings. I haven't eaten dumplings for a while. My master and I are the only two grown men at home. How can we make dumplings?"

"Okay then, you sit down first, I'll go buy some food."

After saying this, he took the basket and went out.

"What's going on? Where's my uncle?"

After Wang Luo sat down, he didn't say anything polite. The more polite he was, the more restrained he felt. It would be better to just go straight to the point!

"I'm in the house. Sorry, I can't come out to welcome you!"

At this time, a man's voice was heard from the bedroom in the east.

"Can I go in and take a look?" The bedroom is a private space. Even to see a patient, you have to get permission. If you go in casually, it would be disrespectful to the owner.

"You can go in, it's okay!"

Under the guidance of Wang Yadong, Wang Luocai entered the bedroom. On a bed near the window, a man was sitting there, leaning against a quilt, with thick plaster on both legs.

"I'm sorry to bother you with this trip. Are you here for Yadong's schooling? Well, I had an accident and both my legs were shattered. Although my legs are saved, I have to lie down like this from now on. There's nothing I can do. His brothers and sisters are still young. Without him, our family really can't survive!"

Yadong's father smiled helplessly, looked apologetically at his son, sighed and said.

"No, uncle, which company did you work for? You are severely disabled, and your company needs to be responsible. According to the current laws of the country, if a person who is completely unable to work and needs help with food and daily life after retiring, the amount of his work-related disability pension is 75% of his salary, which will be paid until his death. In addition, you can keep your job until your children come of age to take over. Don't tell me that your company didn't tell you this?"

When Wang Luo saw the TV series about Siheyuan in his previous life, he studied the pension standards of that era out of curiosity, so he was very familiar with it and asked about it on the spot.

"Ah? There's also this story. I was working in a furniture factory, and a piece of wood rolled down and injured my leg. When the deputy director of our factory came to my house, he told me that the company would be responsible for the medical expenses, gave me 300 yuan, and asked my child to take over my shift. He didn't mention anything else!"

Wang Yadong and his son looked confused.

"Well, you bastards, you are just trying to trick fools. You are so blatantly doing tricks, just because you know nothing. No wonder I am so surprised. No matter what you do, Yadong will not be expelled from school. Wait, I will find someone for you to catch these parasites!"

Wang Luo, who had a bad temper, became anxious and walked out without saying a word. He wanted to call Uncle Li Da and teach these bastards a lesson. It was obvious that some of the disability pension had been embezzled by the bosses in the factory.

"We don't understand either. Anyway, our work position has been saved and the company will cover the medical expenses. We are already very grateful. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, people who died were simply buried in a tattered mat and their families were given a few dollars. Alas, Wang Luo, I think we should just forget it. Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials. We are just ordinary people."

Wang Yadong's father was obviously a little timid. They were really afraid that another accident would happen, and they might not even be able to keep their work positions, so they asked Wang Yadong to hold Wang Luo back.

"What do you mean by 'people should not fight officials'? Who are they? Aren't they just the leaders of a furniture factory? Can a small official be called a leader? Yadong is such a good student. If he goes to a technical secondary school, he will be a state cadre when he graduates. Are you just going to let him lose this opportunity? This is irresponsible to him and also condones the illegal and criminal activities of the leaders of your furniture factory. If we don't teach this kind of people a lesson, they will harm more people like you in the future. Come on, Yadong, follow me to the public phone at the public security station. I'll call home. Don't worry, there is no problem that I can't solve!"

He took Wang Yadong out of the door and went straight to the security station.

"Uncle Li, I have something to trouble you with. Please help me solve this problem. My classmate's father was injured on duty and his legs are disabled. Their furniture factory only gave him 300 yuan and a workstation and sent him away. Is this against the law? I suspect they embezzled the disability pension. Please check the situation for me as soon as possible. If you can't solve it for me, I will find a higher-level leader. I don't believe it. There is no place for reasoning!"

Wang Luo was very angry and the matter was very serious, so he started yelling directly on the phone at the public security station.

"Who are you trying to intimidate, you little brat? Wait where you are. I'll go over with the people from the industrial department to take a look."

After saying that, he hung up the phone. They did not belong to the same department, and the military did not interfere in politics. Uncle Li Da could only act as a middleman. This needed to be resolved by the directly-managed department. It was only after Wang Luo made the call that he came over to support the situation.

"Wang Luo, is this okay?"

After all, Wang Yadong was just a little kid of thirteen or fourteen years old. He had never seen such a scene before and was a little scared.

"What do you mean by this is okay? Even if I, Wang Luo, can't do it, it will work. Just wait!"

The two men were waiting at the door of the police station, and not long after, a jeep drove over.

"Stinky boy, this is your classmate, right? Come on, get in the car, and go directly to his house to find out what's going on!"

Uncle Li Da rolled down the window, called out to Wang Luo and Wang Yadong, and got in the car.

"Hey, tiger-fighting hero, do you still recognize me, your uncle Zhao Gang (this name means justice)?"

As soon as he got in the car, a man with glasses and a square face sitting in the passenger seat turned around and looked at Wang Luo with a smile.

"Uncle Zhao, hey, it's you. Are you working in the industry now? If I had known this, I would have called you to save my Uncle Li from calling me a bad boy. You don't know that when he needs me, he calls me a good boy and a good boy, and when he doesn't need me, he calls me a bad boy. Alas, you see, he is not as good at talking as Uncle Zhao. He called me a tiger-fighting hero, which is something I will be proud of all my life. Just for this name from you, if you go back and fight a tiger, I will give you the tiger skin and tiger whip."

Wang Luo took a look and realized it was an acquaintance. This Uncle Zhao Gang was also Wang Zhonghua's comrade-in-arms and a brother who had shared life and death with him. He immediately put on a playful smile.

"You little bastard, I call you a brat because you deserve it. You're always messing around, doing whatever you want, and you come to my house every few days, taking whatever you see. Why else should I call you a brat? You deserve it. I'm telling you, Zhao Gang, you better be careful. His things are not so easy to take. You'll pay him back a thousand fold in the future."
