Chapter 927: The Sorrow of the Commoners
What Yan Liang encountered was not a strange and dangerous incident, nor was it a bloody incident of being bullied, but a very common but really annoying incident of migrant workers' wage arrears and even defaulting on their debts.
That year, Wen Shuo entered Beijing, and Yan Liang was his instructor when he participated in military training.
It was also in that year that Yan Liang retired.
Yan Liang is a remote rural person in the southern part of Zhaodu City, Yanyun Province, bordering Yuzhou Province.
What can a young man who has just become Chinese and has been a soldier in the countryside for several years, and when he returns to his hometown after retiring from the army, what can he do? With the strength and strength to endure hardships and hardships, he naturally entered the construction team in the countryside, endured hardships and stood hard work and was eager to learn, from a small worker who moved bricks and mud to a big worker who was in charge of building walls with a knife, learned simple measurements, calculations, and so on, and then to a small foreman.
From building houses and walls in the countryside, to the county seat, to the mountains......
From earning a few hundred yuan a month at the beginning, to more than 1,000 yuan a month, and then to becoming a small foreman to do small work, he earned more, but it was only last year and this year, earning about 100,000 yuan a year.
This is Yan Liang's life course in the past few years of retirement.
In the simple ordinary, there is hard work but no bitterness, there is fatigue and happiness, doing dirty and tiring work with the greatest strength, earning the cleanest money.
Practical.
This summer, he was introduced to a construction site in Beijing with more than 20 people.
The construction site is not far from Wenshuo's company, and is close to the east of the Yiyuan Community developed by Huayuan, which is also a small community.
Yan Liang worked hard with his brothers for half a year.
But they are very happy, because the capital is the capital after all, and even low-level migrant workers like them can earn more wages than they earn in their hometowns. As for Yan Liang, he earned even more, he calculated that aside from food, accommodation, and higher wages for his brothers than when he was in his hometown, he himself could get more than 70,000 yuan in the past six months.
In addition, there are a number of tools and instruments purchased after going to the capital.
In the past six months in the capital, he wishfully maintained an excellent relationship with the bosses and managers of the construction company, took the initiative to invite them to dinner several times, and did not hide it, bluntly said that after doing the work here, he still wanted to continue to develop in the capital, and hoped to cooperate more in the future......
The construction site had been suspended last week, and Yan Liang asked the brothers to go back first, and he stayed in the capital to wait for the company to settle the bill.
If you push it again and again, where else can you push it?
It's not that Yan Liang didn't worry about getting paid, but in those years, migrant workers working in the city often gambled with a helpless mentality and went to fight- In addition, as long as you start working on the construction site, you will fall into a dead cycle without any way, the small foreman goes to the big contractor to spend some pocket money, and the big contractor goes to the construction company to withdraw some wages, and often cannot pay the money, and even has to be scolded by all kinds of ugly words, and is thrown in the face, but can only be shy and low-faced, and cannot lose his temper, because ......
The other party only needs a very simple sentence to cut off your thoughts: "Do it if you like it, if you don't like it, get out!"
Come on!
If the two sides turn their faces, it will be even more difficult to get back the wages you worked for a few days or even months.
After saying all the good things, most of them also got this response: "Oh, don't worry, the company's funds have been tight recently, and when we get the project money back, we will settle it for you immediately, millions of project money, hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of dollars?"
"Don't rush, settle in the last piece, you take 3,000 and he takes 5,000 every three or five times, and it takes a lot of effort to settle the account!"
As a result, the migrant workers and the small bag foremen can only be aggrieved, helpless, hopeful, and continue to work, trembling and working hard every day, comforting themselves: "People's hearts are all flesh and blood, we have done our work, they have to pay us the wages, it's just a matter of sooner or later, don't worry, who doesn't have a problem?"
Yan Liang has gone to the company several times to urge, and he lives in a small hotel in a parking lot every day, and a bed costs fifteen yuan a night.
For dinner, only eat the cheapest, either a bowl of fried cakes or a bowl of noodles......
Although it was very hard, although he urged it several times, Yan Liang was not disappointed, because the attitude of the construction company was very good, only said that it was the end of the year, and they were urging the project payment, probably just a few days, so he could wait with peace of mind and not worry.
But yesterday at noon, Yan Liang just went out to eat a bowl of noodles, and when he returned to the construction company, he found that the door had been locked and locked.
He called, and one of the managers of the construction company said that the company was on holiday, and it would be next year.
He quickly called the boss of the construction company again, and the boss impatiently told him that the wages had been settled and asked him to find a contractor.
Big contractor?!
Last month, when I invited the big contractor to dinner, the manager of the construction company was also present, and the three parties made it clear that Yan Liang's construction team would just settle the bill directly at the construction company at the end of the year.
I called the big contractor again, and the phone was turned off.
Yan Liang was stunned all of a sudden!
He called the manager again, but the manager didn't answer, and he called the boss of the construction company, and he didn't answer, and he called too many times, and the phone was turned off!
He called again this morning, and the manager finally answered and scolded him.
Yan Liang was really anxious, and he spoke a little rushed......
At that time, he was outside the door of the construction company that had been closed, and he was in a hurry, and then waited for a black off-road vehicle, and several young men with sticks got out of the car, chased him and beat him, and the off-road vehicle drove away.
The manager called him back: "Hurry up, I don't owe you money, the money is in the hands of the big contractor." ”
Yan Liang was completely dumbfounded.
The big contractor can't be contacted, but he met when he was working in his hometown of Zhaodu this spring, and they were all contractors of the construction team, and we had a good relationship at the time.
Moreover, Yan Liang didn't understand at all, and he couldn't confirm that the salary had been collected by the big contractor!
Because the construction company had not closed yesterday morning, when he was there with a shy face and begging, no one from the construction company told him that the wages had been settled to the big contractor!
Before the wages arrived, Yan Liang, who had been beaten, walked alone on the deserted side road of the North Fourth Ring Road.
What to do?
It's the New Year!
At home, there are also parents, and there is a daughter-in-law who just gave birth to a son for herself this summer, and more importantly, there are more than 20 brothers!
Everyone is waiting for him, get his salary back, and celebrate the New Year!
Some older brothers are all old and young, and they are all big families!
All of them are counting on a good year with the high salary he earned in the capital for half a year!
I am at home and have some savings......
But I don't have much savings, and I didn't stay at home this autumn and winter, so my family rebuilt the house, thinking about getting married and starting a family next year, but it hasn't been renovated yet. Because I went to the capital to contract work, I also bought a bunch of things, all of which were expenses.
The little money left in the family, maybe you can give a little less money to the brothers who work for the New Year, and owe them first?
But what you owe is money!
What about next year?
Will you be able to get the money yourself next year?
Will you be able to find that big contractor next year?
What if he doesn't admit it and says that he hasn't settled his salary at all?
What do you take to ask for money?
As long as you propose to sign an agreement, the construction company immediately thinks that you are really verbose and troublesome, and they don't want you to take over the work.
How will you spend this year?
After going back, how can you face those brothers who have worked hard for half a year because they trust themselves?
Where do you put your own face?!
Yan Liang is actually not very old, twenty-six years old!
It is the age group of enthusiastic and energetic, bold and courageous, and hard-working and willing to study, and now he is also a face-saving person in his hometown of Shili and Eight Villages, and he formed a construction team at a young age, contracted the foreman, and went to the city to work to earn money, with an income of more than 100,000 yuan a year!
This year, he brought people into the capital again, who doesn't know that he is getting bigger and bigger, and making more and more money?!
But now, just go back like this......
Nothing!
He could imagine that after he returned, no one would pity and sympathize with him except his own relatives and friends, but more ridicule, schadenfreude, and the resentful eyes of those brothers who worked with him but could not get paid, as well as their families.
In this despair, Yan Liang's chest burned with irrepressible anger, he wanted to kill someone, he wanted to kill the big contractor, the boss, manager, and finance of the construction company!
Take out the developers of this community!
Kill all the people who have a stake in this community......
But he was afraid, not only afraid, but the sense of responsibility for being a son, a husband, and a first-time father in his chest pressed him to do it brutally.
So he thought of Shuoyuan Holdings, which was not far from the construction site.
Wen Shuo came to mind.
In the capital in the past six months, he often comes out with his co-workers in his spare time, and when he sees this company, he will smile and point to the company's brand and brag and say, the famous Shuoyuan chairman Wen Shuo, when he went to college for military training, Lao Tzu was his instructor, that fat man is really a talent, doing business in the military training base, others have been tired of military training for half a month into a dog, and he has made a lot of money!
But in private, he bragged with his brothers, but Yan Liang never thought of going to Wen Shuo - he was self-aware.
and Wen Shuo, it's just half a month of love during military training back then, people are college students at Beijing University, we are a big boss, why do we have a relationship with people?
Besides, after so much time, do you still remember you?
So, don't go there to make friends!
With a hot face, people are not happy to entertain you, are they willing to continue to make friends with you? People from two worlds, why bother with each other?
But now, Yan Liang, who was already desperate, couldn't help but think about it, hoping to give it a try...... This is also the psychology that most desperate people will give birth to, grasping the last straw, although the straw often does not save lives.
Wen Shuo is so decent in the capital, if you find him, you should be able to help me, right?
