Self-cultivation migrant workers

When Ye Feng heard this, he couldn't sit still. He didn't expect that when he came here for the first time, he found out that these workers were going to take extreme measures.

Taking extreme measures to ask for salary is often a double-edged sword. If the outcome is better, it may get social attention and get your own hard-earned money, but if there is no good result, not only will you not get the previous, Instead, it will cause more trouble for yourself.

At that moment, Ye Feng patted the sixth brother on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I just heard that you seem to be asking for some money in front of the municipal committee building. May I ask what happened?"

The sixth elder brother glanced at Ye Feng, although he was smiling, he spoke in a somewhat impolite manner: "Brother, I asked you to drink just now, but you didn't drink, but now you are asking about our affairs, this is our private matter Son, it's not convenient to tell you."

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Brother, actually I didn't drink with you just now, one is because I have something to do in the afternoon, and the other is because your little wine is not enough for me, I want to finish it in one gulp, what are you drinking?"

Brother Six and the others stared at Ye Feng, with disbelieving and disconvinced expressions on their faces.

"Brother, don't talk too much. You can't talk about other things. If you want to talk about drinking, in our hometown ten miles and eight villages, no one knows that Brother Six is ​​the god of wine. You brag about such big things in front of Brother Six. But you’re asking for trouble.” One of the young migrant workers quickly raised objections to Ye Feng’s words.

Ye Feng smiled and didn't explain anything to them. Instead, he called the boss over and said, "Boss, bring me a bottle of the liquor with the highest alcohol content in your store, and put it on my account."

Soon, the boss sent Ye Feng a bottle of 62-degree Laobaigan, which was packed in a catty. Ye Feng opened the lid, took the wine and walked around in front of Liu Ge and others, then put it to his mouth, looked up. In just a few seconds, a whole bottle of white wine was poured down his stomach.

After putting down the empty wine bottle, Ye Feng hiccupped and said with a smile: "This old Baigan's degree is still not strong enough."

Brother Six and the others were all dumbfounded, looking at the young man in front of him who had downed a whole bottle of high-grade liquor in one gulp within a few seconds, his face was not flushed and he was not panting, as if what he was drinking was not wine, But like a bottle of water.

Drinking a bottle of white wine in one gulp, the sixth brother thought he could do it, but like Ye Feng drank it so fast and vigorously, and he didn’t even have a mouthful of food after drinking it, it looked like he didn’t drink it, so the sixth brother did it Not anymore.

It seems that what the young man said just now is really not bragging. Their two bottles of wine are indeed not enough for him to drink alone.

Seeing the change in Sixth Brother's expression, Ye Feng asked, "Brother, can you answer my question just now?"

The sixth brother patted his chest and said loudly: "Okay, just talk about it, what are you afraid of, the truth is with us, we are not afraid wherever we go, brother, we are all from Henan Province, and we have been living in Wujiang City, Hui Province. While doing some handyman, I was introduced by someone to contract the work of hauling the earth and removing construction waste for the cross-shui bridge. I was very happy at first. After all, this is a big project. I have been working at the south end of the Guoshui Bridge, that is, the Guoshui Town on the other side of the river. At that time, the town cadres of the Guoshui Town and the person in charge of the construction of the Guoshui Bridge signed a provisional agreement with us. Thinking about it now I regret it, and blame us for our ignorance and inexperience. The other party didn't even have an official seal on the agreement, so the other party signed it, but there was no way at that time. Don't do it, some people want to do it, but I didn't expect that we have worked so hard in the past two years, but we haven't received a penny of the wages. The deputy secretary of the Guoshui town resigned and quit. I asked the leaders of other towns and said that the original deputy secretary was responsible for this matter and asked us to find him, but he has quit. I don’t even know where my home is, so tell us to look for it.”

The sixth brother's words were full of emotion, and the people around him also frowned. After all, it was about personal interests. They are inseparable numbers.

At this time, another person added: "Brother, you don't know, what annoys us the most is that they obviously have money, but they just don't give it to us. Don't look at their town hall. The township secretary and the mayor’s family all drive nice cars, wear famous brands, and are rich. Where do these things come from, can’t they be bought with money? Could it be that the money fell from the sky?”

When Ye Feng heard this, he didn't interrupt. Although he didn't know much about officialdom, he had heard about it before. In China, some towns are poor and small, but the class struggle in them is very serious. It is complicated, internal conflicts are severe, the mayor and the secretary are not united, the so-called temple is small, although it is a township, the secretary and the mayor are sharks and rogues who can turn big waves.All such things, in the final analysis, are actually one sentence: it is fighting for power and profit, intrigue and mutual disobedience.

What I heard before, these township officials are nothing more than you recruiting a group of people, I recruit a group of people, the party committee and the town government do not see each other, it is nothing more than the wrong seat at the meeting, and the leader's speech should be given first by me, but you Let me talk about it first; or you decide on the job I am in charge of privately, but I have someone do it in advance, crossing the line and taking credit for the things that should be decided by you; blah blah blah.

Ye Feng filled a glass of beer, drank a glass with the sixth brother and others, then called the boss over, added eight dishes, and ordered another box of the old Baigan he drank just now, poured it for everyone, Said: "What Brother Six said just now is right. It is fate that the brothers can sit together. After hearing about you, I feel very uncomfortable. It is not easy to earn money these days. After working so hard for so long, I still get paid. I can understand the feeling of not being paid, because I am also from the countryside, and I have also worked in many construction sites, and I have also been poor. If you are destined, you will know the courtesy. I invited this meal, please don’t follow me You're welcome, Sixth Brother, let's have a toast, I'll do it first as a respect." Ye Feng raised a glass of white wine and drank it in one gulp.

Brother Six and the others looked at each other and glanced at each other. Seeing that Ye Feng drank up the wine in his glass, he subconsciously raised his glass and drained the wine in their respective glasses.

"Brother, what do you mean by that, we just met, you spend so much money, how can we have the nerve to let you treat, this is not acceptable, let the boss return these dishes."

Ye Feng waved his hand and said: "Don't retreat, I said it, everyone is destined to meet each other, don't be polite to me, just now I heard from Sixth Brother that you plan to go to the Mingzhu Municipal Committee to ask for money, I agree with this, but I don't agree It is quite reasonable for you to take extreme measures to rape children. If you make a fuss like this, it will be unreasonable, and you have violated the law. If you strictly investigate, you will be detained or even raped, so I still I want to persuade Sixth Brother to calm down a bit, and don't take the initiative to become passive."

The sixth brother drank another glass of white wine and said, "Brother, you may not understand the specific situation. It's a long story, so let me make it more straightforward. There are about twenty of us, and we have lived in the past two years. The total cost of the water bridge project is more than 50 yuan. Even if we don’t get the money in the end, at most it’s because of some resentment in our hearts, but we will never go to extremes.”

"But I decided to use this method to negotiate, but not all because of the wages. When the project came to an end, people from the water town came to us suddenly and told us that the wage problem could be solved. We were very happy at the time, but After careful questioning, the matter is very complicated. People in Guoshui Town said that our wages belong to special funds, and we need to go to the Daoqiao Company responsible for the construction of the Guoshui Bridge. They have already communicated with Daoqiao Company for us. The bridge company replied that the money can be given to us, but we need to transfer from Guoshui Town to the construction site in Xiapu District, so all of us have been transferred to the construction site here, not to mention, we just came here , Daoqiao Company gave us half a year's wages, we were very happy at that time, and decided to settle down and finish the work at the construction site here."

"But I never expected that when the whole project was about to be completed, something happened. Three of our fellow villagers overturned the car when they were carrying the earthwork on the construction site to be cleared outside the construction site. Two died on the spot and one was seriously injured. They are all young men in their twenties. After this happened, I felt like a bolt from the blue. Later, I asked the person in charge of Daoqiao Company to ask for an explanation, but the other party said that the incident did not happen on the construction site, and that we and them There is no contract signed between them, so they have no responsibility at all, but out of humanitarian considerations, as long as I sign a private agreement with them, they will give me 10 yuan as humanitarian compensation, but 10 yuan Can 10 yuan buy back two lives? Before 10 yuan, can I go home and explain to their parents? Can [-] yuan make my conscience feel better?"

"So I didn't ask for the money. It's nothing. After the project was completed and accepted, they didn't even give us our wages. They told us to go to the water town. In the next period of time, I started I can let go of the salary issue, but I have to let them explain the compensation and fairness of the three brothers who died and were injured. I went to Shuizhen and then to Daoqiao Company, and even I also knelt down to those leaders and company managers, but they ignored me at all, just shied away and argued with each other, and in the end, I couldn't even find anyone."

"Afterwards, we had no other choice. We reported to the police station and the Public Security Bureau, but instead of ignoring them, they even scolded us. We went to the Labor Bureau. The Labor Bureau said that this was a civil and economic dispute, and everything had to be settled according to the contract. But we didn't Signing the contract, at the beginning they coaxed us to say that we should do it first, and the contract will be reissued later, and they never believed in this reinstatement. It was in the morgue, and the brother who was seriously injured and hospitalized was kicked out because he had no money. We looked for reporters and TV stations, but the reporters of these media didn’t care, or didn’t dare to care. I know, whether it’s Guoshui Town or Road The bridge company has a big background. Isn’t it all forced? We have spent so long, more than 20 people, living in the construction site at both ends of the bridge, and have to eat every day. It’s going to be winter. , we have been dealing with it like this, brother, you can’t understand the hardships we have endured.” (To be continued.)
