Chapter 17: A Visit to the Li Family

I saw that the woman raised her head and looked at Zhou Ziwei, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and now she didn't have the heart to care about the person in front of her, so she said very casually.

"Whatever, you can go if you want, just don't affect the mood of Aunt Li's family."

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhou Ziwei didn't say much, she just wanted to take a look and see if she could get any news.

So after the woman cleaned up briefly, she said goodbye to the old woman and the little girl, and went to Uncle Li's house, and Zhou Ziwei also went with her.

When I came to Uncle Li's house, the house was full of sad crying, thinking that the news had arrived, when Zhou Ziwei walked into the house, she saw an old woman in her forties hiding her face and crying, her voice was miserable, and she couldn't bear to face it.

Zhou Ziwei stood silently aside, at this moment, the sad news was spreading throughout the house, everyone had no heart to pay attention to themselves, and Zhou Ziwei was reluctant to come forward, after all, today is the deceased, she just came to see the general situation, casually learn about the situation of the villagers.

"Daddy, child, how can this be, I've always told you, don't do it, don't do it, say that I'll come back in the last month, why is it like this, you leave us, what can we do?"

Aunt Li's voice was miserable, as if coming from the ground, with great sadness and contagion, and everyone present hid their faces and wept. Zhou Ziwei looked at it, and did not send the body over, but there was a man standing in the middle of the room, Zhou Ziwei had seen him, one of the three men who spoke in the mine.

The mine did not agree to send the body back, perhaps because it was afraid that people would see the scrawny corpse and not be able to explain.

"Aunt Li, Uncle Li has always been concerned about your mother, I didn't expect it, how could it suddenly fall that day, you have to mourn and change, the living have a future life, if you also fall, what should the two children do."

The man saw that Aunt Li's crying seemed to be uncontrollable, and he was worried, so he wanted to persuade Aunt Li.

"Yes, Aunt Li, the festival is changing, Uncle Li must not want to see you like this." Xiaoyu's mother also stood aside, gently patting Aunt Li's back to comfort Aunt Li, and at the same time persuading the man.

"By the way, Aunt Li, this is all the wages paid by the mine to Uncle Li, and the mine said that Uncle Li accidentally fell down by himself, so it is not the responsibility of the mine, but the mine still gave some compassionate money, and our brothers were worried that you would have a hard time, so we raised some together, although it is not much, it is just a heart, I hope you can accept it."

The man lowered his head and took out a string of copper coins in his sleeve, plus a few broken silver, it looked really pitiful, and Zhou Ziwei, who was carefully observing, also felt that this was too little, how could there be such a salary in a month, it was clearly a deduction of wages, and this mine was too dark.

At the back door of Zhou's house, a figure walked out and hurriedly came to the private room of the restaurant, where a man dressed in white sat in the private room of the restaurant, holding a wine glass in his right hand and shaking it gently in front of him, and moved his lips casually.

"How's it going, can things be done?"

"It's done, but it didn't achieve the effect we wanted, may I ask the master, do you still need to continue?" The figure who walked in replied slowly.

"Forget it, this matter can't be rushed, since we have been waiting for so long, not so many days, you are continuing to wait and find the right time, but since the condition has worsened, how can you still go out to work."

After speaking, the man in white slammed the cup in his hand on the table, and dared to move it to his head.

"This is really strange, I don't know why Zhou Mingshu can still go out, but I usually don't let the rest of the people near Zhou Mingshu's yard, so I don't know what the situation is now."

"You should keep an eye on Zhou Mingshu, there must be some ulterior secrets in this Zhou Mansion, you must keep an eye on me."

"Also, why did Ziwei suddenly change her temperament and temperament this week?"

"This, I don't know, it seems that since the last time I hanged myself, people have changed their personalities, and now it's not easy to mess with, it's not a simple character, you need to be careful."

The man in white snorted coldly, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and kept turning the wrench on his right hand.

"Okay, you go down, do a good job, after the thing is done, there will be your benefits."

Then the man in white casually took out a money bag from his sleeve and threw it away over the figure behind him. "This is your reward this time."

"Thank you master, I must remember my master's teachings, then I will leave first." After speaking, he quietly retreated.

"Zhou family, wait well, you will be trampled under my feet sooner or later."

In the countryside of Wanping County, Aunt Li took the copper coin in the man's hand with tears in her eyes, and sadness surged up again, this is the money that her husband got in exchange for his life, but her husband never came back.

I don't know how long it took, the people in the house gradually dispersed, and Zhou Ziwei didn't want to talk to Aunt Li about the price, so she comforted Aunt Li a few words and left the house with the others.

Zhou Ziwei walked out of the yard, happened to see the man in the mine in front of her, and hurriedly walked over, the man saw that it was Zhou Ziwei, his face showed a little displeasure, he didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward.

"This eldest brother, I can see that you must have a good relationship with Uncle Li, seeing that Aunt Li's family has suffered a tragic accident now, orphans and widows, you must not be uncomfortable?"

Zhou Ziwei knew that she was going too far, but she wanted to go off the rails, so in order for them to tell the truth about the mine, she could only go off the rails.

"I'm uncomfortable, how can I not be uncomfortable, but what can I do, it's not for me to decide, it's enough, don't say it, you officials, just for the benefit of each other, how can you ever care about the life and death of our people, don't interfere with our lives now, I won't say anything."

The man's attitude changed suddenly, he was extremely firm, he knew that even if he said it, he would not help Uncle Li in the slightest, nor would he help them in the slightest, these officials fought openly and secretly with each other, but they never cared about the life and death of the people, they just used them, so he was not willing to sacrifice his hard-won job.
