Chapter 6 Cleaning up garbage earns tens of thousands of dollars a month, but one after another dies (2)

Li Kan pouted and said that these are all bad episodes in movies and novels, how can there be so many things about revenge of unjust ghosts in reality.

He had already learned from Manager Luo that this guy, including the three dead cleaners, did have foreign wealth, but it was not through illegal channels, and it could even be said to be hard-earned money.

It turned out that their cleaners often picked up coins when they were cleaning the incineration filters. These coins may have been scattered everywhere in people's lives and later thrown away in the garbage.

Don't underestimate these coins, according to Manager Luo, their cleaners can pick up thousands of yuan per person on average, and the most I heard is that one worker picked up tens of thousands of yuan.

With this income as a subsidy, these cleaners can certainly live a much better life than a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan.

However, these coins have been burned at a temperature of more than 800 degrees, and many of them have been burned beyond recognition, and the characters and patterns on them are blurred.

The cleaners need to pick up the coins back, pick them one by one, select those that seem to be usable, brush them under the faucet with a toothbrush, brush off the black oxide on the surface, wipe them clean and take them to the bank to exchange them for banknotes.

This is an abrasive job, they are very tired when they come back from work every day, and they have to squat in the toilet to wash the coins, a big man has been doing it for a long time, and his back hurts, and it is not easy to clean up one or two hundred coins a day.

Manager Luo said that the company also knew that the cleaners had this kind of extra money, but if they didn't pick it up, the coins would be sold as scrap metal along with the other metals in the filter, which was cheaper and wasteful, and it was better to cheapen their own people.

I thought it was quite fresh when I heard it, I didn't expect that there was such a way to make money in this world, thinking that these cleaners are also people who earn 10,000 yuan a month, no wonder they smoke such good cigarettes. Could it be that those three people died of exhaustion because they stayed up late to brush money? Nowadays, it is common to see on the news that some people die of overwork at a young age, as the so-called birds die for food and for money.

Li Kan was noncommittal to my statement, saying that he was not sure of the reason, but vaguely felt that the deaths of the three people might have something to do with this matter. He told me not to worry, and to finish dinner with peace of mind.

The small stir-fry in the staff canteen is much better than the big pot dish, and Manager Luo also brought some cold beer for us to drink.

Li Kan's interest seemed quite high, and he drank cup to cup with Manager Luo, and he also praised Manager Luo for being a young talent, and he became the head of the station at such a young age.

Manager Luo listened very helpfully, but he poured bitter water on his lips, saying that the head office asked him to come here to be in charge of it was simply exile, and many people looked at his surface scenery, but they didn't know how much suffering he had suffered inside.

First because of the land acquisition and the unpleasantness of the farmers, and then because of some problems in the process of building the factory, it is difficult to start construction, everything is finally on the right track, who knows that this file will happen again.

In the end, Manager Luo patted the table and said, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, this place is not good for water and soil, and it is not suitable for starting a business, it is better to close the door and pull it down, and it also fulfills the wishes of those people.

Li Kan drank heartily, but this sentence did not miss his ears, and he asked Manager Luo who those people were.

Manager Luo said that who else could there be, that is, the surrounding villagers, who made a fuss because of the problem of expropriating their land when the station was built, and finally the company provided over-standard compensation, which can be regarded as settling the matter.

Now they have no land to plant, and they are unwilling to rely on compensation money to sit on empty food, so they use the funds on hand and their own small yards to start a farmhouse business, digging fish ponds, making pots and rice, specifically attracting people in the city to drive to consume on holidays.

Originally, the two sides were safe and doing their own things, but since last year, I don't know where these villagers saw the news that garbage incineration will emit a substance called dioxin in the air, which is very toxic and harmful to people and animals.

The villagers were afraid that it would affect their health, and second, they were afraid that this incident would delay the business of their farmhouse, so they jointly made several troubles and asked the power station to move.

Until now, the matter has not been settled, and lately, these people have hired bulldozers and rollers to push a dirt road horizontally a few hundred meters in front of the power station.

When the power station was built, a four-lane wide cement road was specially built in order to facilitate the entry and exit of material trucks. At that time, I wanted to please the village, and when I built a cement road, it was extended to the village. This road has given great convenience to the village, and the villagers' cars get off the national highway, and they no longer need to go around the previous broken road built by stones, they can take this cement road to pass by the power station, and then go directly into the village.

Manager Luo analyzed worriedly, he suspected that these villagers wanted to build another road to bypass the power station, and then dig up the cement road built by the power station. This will not affect their traffic, but also prevent the trucks transporting materials from entering the power station, and the power station will be a source of water and will have to stop working.

I said, "Why don't you stop it?"

Manager Luo smiled bitterly and said that this was just his own thinking, and he couldn't tell whether those people were building roads or what they were doing. As long as it doesn't really come to the day when the road to the power station is cut off, no one will pay attention to the police.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Kan slapped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap", and said Let's go, let's go and see the road they built together.

I thought to myself, I'm almost tired after a day of running, and I still have the interest to watch people build roads? But looking at Li Kan's thoughtful appearance, I suspect that he has gotten some inspiration.

Everyone drank, and Manager Luo wanted to ask his driver to drive over to pick us up, but Li Kan disagreed, saying that it would be a little more troublesome to have one more person. So I, who had the least of the three drinkers, acted as the driver, got into the Elantra, and took them out of the power station.

I didn't drive far, and sure enough, I saw a newly opened dirt road across it, one end of the road was connected to the cement road of the power station, forming a "D" shape, and the other end extended into the distance.

Li Kan asked Manager Luo beside him where the road had been repaired.

Manager Luo didn't know, he said that he didn't care about where other people's roads were repaired, he just kept an eye on his own roads and didn't get cut off by these people.

Li Kan pressed the window of the car and looked into the distance for a long time, at this time the sun was almost finished, the sky was quite dark, and there was nothing to be seen in the distance.

I asked Li Kan what to do, if he wanted to go home.

Li Kan said that since he had come, he might just drive along the dirt road and maybe find something.

I regretted it as soon as I drove the car, this dirt road was too sloppy to build, I felt that even the roadbed was not compacted, and the car was like driving on a piece of tofu, swaying, and I couldn't raise the speed at all.

The road is very narrow, only the width of a car, and I am afraid that I will find a broken road somewhere, and it will be difficult to turn around at that time.

I kept driving with trepidation, at first to the east, then to the right to the south, then to the west, but fortunately the road was not broken, but I felt strange in my heart, and I always felt that something was wrong.

Li Kan and Manager Luo also noticed it, and listened to their discussion in the back, no matter how they ran, they could see the lights on the chimney of the power station from the right window.

The more I opened, the more I felt that something was wrong, and when I came to the fourth right turn, I was surprised to find that the front of the car was pointing east.

No, if we continue to drive like this, we will definitely drive back to the starting point, and we are clearly going in circles! I drove all the way and didn't see a fork in the road? How can anyone build a road like this?

Manager Luo was also very puzzled, I heard him press down the car window, and while sticking his head out to look, he muttered in his mouth, saying weird, what is this doing?

I asked Manager Luo, don't you know that these people are doing this moth under your nose?

Manager Luo patted his thigh and said, careless, just thinking that they are repairing the road, who cares how he repairs, and it doesn't get in the way of my business.

I didn't know the bottom of my heart, and I really wanted to hear Li Kan's opinion, but I never heard him speak.

I peeked into the rearview mirror, and he was sitting in the middle of the back row, his elbows resting on the backrest of the front and co-pilot, leaning forward as far as he could, his neck stretched out, his head almost parallel to mine.

Seeing his nervous look, I couldn't help it, and asked him, we won't meet ghosts hitting the wall, right?
