Chapter 2: The Corpse Bearer

"I don't have money and no time to have a girlfriend, so I'm still single, this is my student ID, which can prove that I am a college student" I took out the student ID card in my pocket and showed it to Ms. Wang, who took the student ID card in my hand and looked at it, she raised her head from time to time to look at me to see if I matched the photo on the student ID.

"Are you short of money?" The lady Wang then asked me.

"Well, I'm very short of money," I nodded vigorously.

"Can you tell me what you're going to do with this money?" Ms. Wang continued to ask me seriously.

"Because my family conditions are not good, I need to work part-time to earn my own tuition, and this is about to start, I need this money to pay for tuition," I said to Ms. Wang truthfully, and my expression when I said this was very sincere.

"Okay, then I believe you," Ms. Wang nodded and said, what I just said made Ms. Wang believe that my character is fine.

"Then can you tell me what this job is and what I should do," I asked Ms. Wang, who was in a state of unapprehension.

"This job is actually very simple, my family lives on the eighth floor, you just need to carry my daughter from the eighth floor to the car on the first floor," Ms. Wang said this, and I saw her tears running down her cheeks.

"I didn't make ducks," I gasped and said to myself, regretting it when I said it.

"Make a duck, what do you want to be a duck" Ms. Wang didn't understand what I meant by this, she looked at me and asked puzzled.

"It's nothing, I want to ask if you just need to carry your daughter from the eighth floor to the first floor and give three thousand yuan? Isn't this money too easy to make" I said the three words 3,000 yuan very seriously, I am afraid that this Ms. Wang will not admit it, after all, people are too unallowed now.

"Yes, it's 3,000 yuan, but I have to tell you, it's not as easy to make as you think," Ms. Wang said to me cautiously.

"You mean your daughter is a big fat man? If it doesn't exceed 200 pounds, I think I can still carry it, but if it exceeds 200 pounds, I'll be a little powerless," I asked suspiciously.

"My daughter's weight is only 100 pounds, and I have a photo of me and her in my WeChat circle" Ms. Wang said to me softly, when Ms. Wang said this, I was relieved, that girl is very beautiful, I am happy to carry her downstairs, even if I don't give money, I smiled when I thought of this.

"Then there's no problem, then I'll move my back," I smiled and nodded, thinking to myself that this is a good job, and this money is like picking it up for nothing.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about business, my daughter passed away yesterday, you should understand our rules, I need to find someone to carry my daughter's body from the upper floor, the price of a professional corpse bearer is one thousand, the reason why I shouted such a high price of three thousand is to find a person I can see in the past to carry my daughter, because only I can see the past, my daughter can see the past, I think your conditions are very suitable, you think about this matter can you do it" When Ms. Wang said this sentence to meI was a little confused, I was also a little scared and scared, my scalp also felt numb, and I couldn't accept this job in my heart.

There is an unfamous rule in our city, that is, the deceased must find a professional corpse bearer to carry the corpse to the funeral home's hearse on the day of the funeral. In our county-level city, the deceased are not allowed to take the elevator, because people here think that the deceased is going down to hell by taking the elevator, so the family of the deceased must ask a professional corpse bearer to carry the body on his body, and then go down from the stairs one by one. Carrying corpses is a very lucrative profession, starting from more than 800, if the deceased is too fat or lives on a high floor, then it will be extra expensive.

"If you can't do it, I can find someone else, anyway, there are more people calling me" The lady Wang saw that I was there frowning and thinking about not answering her, she was a little anxious.

"This ....." I didn't know how to answer her, I never thought that this Ms. Wang was looking for me to carry the corpse.

"That's it, if you are willing to do it, I will add another thousand to you, if you are not willing to do it, get out of the car quickly, I want to find someone else to do it, I don't have too much time to spend with you here" Hearing that this Ms. Wang added another thousand to me, I was indeed a little moved.

"Okay, I'll take this job" I nodded to the lady Wang and said, although I was scared, but I didn't have anything else to do, I was really forced by life now, if I had money, I wouldn't do such a bad job.

"You have to think carefully, once you promise me, I won't look for anyone else, if you break your word, it will be disrespectful to a dead person, you can't be a man of your word, especially a man," Ms. Wang said cautiously as she looked at me.

"I've thought about it clearly, don't worry, I, Captain Liu, have never broken my promise so much, and I will do what I say," I promised to Ms. Wang.

"Okay, I have a prepared contract here, you can sign it, I will give you an advance payment of 2,000 yuan first, and when my daughter finishes all the things tomorrow, I will give you the remaining 2,000" After Ms. Wang finished speaking, she took out the three employment contracts prepared in advance, filled in the price and name, and handed it to me to let me sign the contract.

I picked up the three employment contracts and took a brief look, the meaning of the contract is that the employer Ms. Wang, the employee Liu Shou is paid 4,000 a day, and the advance payment is 2,000 yuan, and if the employee does not show up according to the time specified by the employer, the employee Liu Shou will return ten times the employer's advance payment of 20,000 yuan.

"If you think this contract is okay, just sign the contract and press a handprint" The lady Wang handed me a black water-based pen first, and then sent the red seal box to me, I took the pen in her hand and signed my name on the three contracts without thinking, and then pressed my handprint, in short, I am short of money now, very short.

"It's two thousand yuan, you can click on it," Ms. Wang took out a stack of money from her bag, counted out twenty sheets, and handed them to me.

"No need to order, just tell me the address when you still have time," I asked Ms. Wang, taking the money from her hand.

"I will tell you the time and address on WeChat, and your phone can be kept on at any time, and I will call you if I have something," Ms. Wang instructed me.

"All right," I replied with a nod.

"You can get out of the car now, I'm still busy with my daughter's funeral," the Wang lady said to me indifferently.

"Well" I answered and opened the car door and got out of the car, watching the lady Wang drive away, I couldn't help but sigh, I feel sad for this Ms. Wang at the same time, but also for the beautiful girl feel sad, what a good flower age, say dead is dead, it's so regrettable.

I went to a ramen restaurant near the school, ordered a bowl of ramen noodles and went to the bank after eating, I deposited all the 7,000 yuan in my pocket into the bank card issued by the school, and when the school started on September 1st, the school would transfer all the money in the bank card.

My family lives in DD City, I went to college in a normal university in this city, we have a total of four brothers in the dormitory, now I am the only one who does not have a girlfriend, and the rest of the three brothers have girlfriends, especially the boss of our dormitory, Huang Tao, he not only has a girlfriend but also two, and more interesting is that his two girlfriends get along very well, the three of them often watch movies together, go to the hotel to open a room, which makes the other two brothers in the dormitory very envious, The two of them also worship our boss Huang Tao from the bottom of their hearts.

When it comes to girlfriends, it's not that I'm not a handsome girl who looks down on me, but I don't have money and no time to fall in love, because my extra time will be used to earn tuition and living expenses part-time, and my own conditions are worse than others, if I don't work harder, then I will lag behind others in my life.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the lady Wang sent me a message on WeChat, she sent me her home address and asked me to come to his house on time at 5 o'clock in the morning, and the funeral home's hearse was about to leave their house at 7 o'clock.

"Received" I fed back the information to Ms. Wang, and then turned off the light and prepared to go to bed early, if tomorrow once the business is delayed, I don't have the 20,000 yuan to pay others.

In our Northeast Mr. Bai Shi is the thing behind the return of people, when Mr. Bai Shi is also very profitable, I remember when my grandmother died, our family invited Mr. Bai Shi and my father asked for 5,000, my father did not frown and gave the Mr. Bai Shi 5,000, if you meet a rich family, Mr. Bai Shi will want more, maybe 10,000, maybe 20,000, because this Mr. Bai Shi can't afford to offend at all, as long as they make some fuss on the corpse, then the family will not have a good time in the future, I listened to my grandfather say this, and I don't know what the specific situation is, but I just heard it and didn't take it to heart at all.
