Chapter 499: What could be more terrible than being poor?
After getting off work that afternoon, He Qingkong held his breath and thought of going to Liu Guirong immediately to talk about it.
However, after calming down a little after eating, he hesitated again.
Because of Mrs. Yao's matter, Liu Guirong estimates that he has not lost his anger until now.
If he goes to him now, it is estimated that he will not give him a good face.
Moreover, if Liu Guirong knew that the bastard in Huayun had quietly become the leader of the driver group, would he think that he was useless?
A useless person, He Qingkong didn't think he would end well.
This matter has to be considered in the long run, and now is not a good time to go to Liu Guirong.
Thinking of this, he went back to the back room and sat on the kang by himself.
The daughter-in-law looked at him and wanted to say something, but in the end she let out a long sigh and went out to work.
Seeing that the summer is over, the clothes and quilts at home have to be picked up.
The small ones should be added to the big ones, the broken ones should be sewn and mended, the ones that should be washed should be washed, and the ones that should be dried should be dried.
Ordinary people live like this, busy all year round.
Xu Qiang originally wanted to find Huangfu Yingying to determine the captain candidate, but when such a thing happened, he could only postpone it for a few days.
Wait for this Hua Yunzhong to work for a month and a half, and see if he can stand, he will let him completely replace Gu Yiran.
Then, he helped Huangfu Yingying to the position and became a captain.
Of course, Gu Gang's side can't favor one over the other, at least he has to be a deputy captain.
I went home from work in the afternoon, after eating, I took Xiao Hehe to the alley and walked around twice, and when it was dark, the father and daughter went home.
I just entered the house and was about to ask my daughter-in-law to bathe my daughter together, when I heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Xu Qiang and his daughter-in-law glanced at each other, not knowing who it was.
He asked his daughter-in-law and daughter to take a bath, while he got up and went to open the door.
The person who came turned out to be Lao Ding?
Xu Qiang was a little curious, but he still smiled and beckoned people into the room to sit:
"Lao Ding is here? Come in and sit. ”
Lao Ding's originally sad face showed a little smile:
"Hey."
Xu Qiang noticed that he was still carrying a cloth pocket when he came in.
beckoned Lao Ding to sit down, he carried a thermos and poured a glass of water, and Lao Ding hurriedly got up and took it with both hands.
Lao Ding has a family of six, and his daughter-in-law is at home with children, and he earns just enough for the family's expenses.
Lao Ding is silent, talks very little, and hardly gets involved in the things in the yard.
However, his daughter-in-law Ding Qiu and Qiu Junhua have diametrically opposite personalities to him.
I walked very close to a few old ladies with sharp mouths and long hairs in the yard, and I liked the short gossip of Zhang's family and the Li family when it was okay.
However, she also has a little brain, knows what to say and what not to say, and mutters a few words at most in everything, and never comes out of her head.
Therefore, after living in the courtyard for so many years, I have not offended anyone.
Sometimes, I met at the mouth of the alley, and I talked a few words with Xu Qiang's mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law's evaluation of her is that her heart is not bad, but she is too dense.
"Xu Qiang, we have lived in the backyard for so many years, you know what kind of person my Lao Ding is."
"Come here today, I really have something to ask you for."
Xu Qiang nodded, but there was nothing unhappy.
"Hey, Uncle Ding, you say."
Lao Ding took a sip of the water glass on the table, and sighed heavily, which seemed a little difficult to speak.
However, in the end, he gritted his teeth and spoke:
"It's Aeon, he hasn't had a serious job, and he met some people a few days ago."
"The family didn't know either, and he didn't tell the family until something happened that he couldn't hide it."
"Said that the man introduced them to a job that was easy and profitable, and he followed."
"I worked for more than ten days and earned five yuan, but something happened."
Speaking of this, Lao Ding glanced at Xu Qiang and saw that there was no expression on his face, so he was worried, gritted his teeth and continued:
"People said that they would work for at least two months, and if they didn't work for two months, they would be fined one dollar a day."
"Aeon, he has been working for more than ten days, and he doesn't want to do it anymore."
Xu Qiang looked at Lao Ding and frowned.
I earned five dollars in ten days, which is a good wage.
At present, the minimum guaranteed income of a family in Sijiu City is 5 yuan, and only those who are less than 5 yuan can enjoy some "subsidies" from the neighborhood office. ”
For example, for a job like pasting a matchbox, ten pennies.
The elderly and children in the family can do it, and they can paste four or five hundred a day with fast hands, and they can have at least four or five cents.
Of course, this kind of work is also fixed for a month, and you can't paste as much as you want.
Under normal circumstances, you can paste for ten to fifteen days a month at most, which is about the same as earning five or six yuan a month.
Those who can make a paste for fifteen days and earn seven or eight yuan are particularly difficult because of the large population in the family.
After all, there are too many families with an income of less than 5 yuan a month, and most people want to do this type of subsidy.
Therefore, earning five yuan in ten days and fifteen yuan in a month is really a good wage.
The point is, they also let the guarantee work for at least two months.
You know, there are too few odd jobs now, and there are too many people looking for jobs to do.
So, it's generally done today and don't know what tomorrow will be.
Like this, those who can work for at least two months, and fifteen yuan a month, a lot of people are willing to do it.
Ding Yongwang didn't work for more than ten days, he must have a problem with his work.
"What is he going to do?"
As soon as Xu Qiang's voice fell, Lao Ding's face suddenly became ugly.
He hesitated for a while, pursed his lips, and finally spoke:
"It's just to carry things and food for others."
"What?"
Xu Qiang was a little unsure: "Moving grain?" ”
Isn't this a matter of the food station, hard work, a lot of shackles rushing to do.
No, if it is really the work of the grain station, how can it be stipulated that it must be done for two months?
Lao Ding nodded, and continued to add:
"At first, he thought he was just carrying food for other people, but after working for more than ten days, he realized that these people might not have come from the right way."
"He was so cowardly that he received ten days' wages and refused to go again."
"As a result, two days ago, those people came to the door and asked him to pay 60 yuan."
"You also know the situation in our family, where is the 60 yuan?"
"Besides, this matter is obviously strange, and I'm worried that even if I lose 60 yuan, it won't be over."
Xu Qiang nodded: "Uncle Ding, you are right, there must be something strange about this matter, even if you lose 60 yuan, there will definitely be something to do in the future." ”
"In this case, you call Aeon over and ask him to tell me about the specific situation, and then think about how to solve it."
Lao Ding sighed heavily, thanked Xu Qiang again, got up and went out of the house to call his son.
Xu Qiang got up to see Lao Ding away, and began to ponder this matter in his heart.
Moving grain?
Can't get there?
Almost immediately, four words popped up in Xu Qiang's mind:
"Speculation!"
However, those people have always been steady and hidden, how could they make such a mistake?
Moreover, it has been dry for two months, which is obviously a lot.
Even, Xu Qiang was thinking that something must have happened in the back, so Ding Yongwang couldn't live or die.
Otherwise, with a salary of fifteen yuan a month, even if there is really something wrong, most people will not know.
After all, is there anything more terrible in this world than being poor?
