Chapter 257: The cause of his father's death comes to light with the secret of the quarry

If you work in the quarry and endure hardships, you can earn 1 yuan and 5 cents a day.

The quarry will pay wages for three days, and from the fourth day onwards, wages will be paid on a daily basis.

If you don't take a break for a month, the income is very considerable.

Because you can earn cash, the people who work there are also very motivated.

The quarry also has a strange rule, you can only go down once a month.

Therefore, everyone who goes up to work in the mountains will bring a month's worth of supplies, and then live in a simple shed on the mountain.

Every night, someone will check everyone's accommodation, and if there is someone who secretly goes down the mountain, not only will they have to deduct three days' wages, but they will also be directly dismissed from their jobs.

Outsiders were not allowed to go up the hill in the quarry, and they were immediately driven away if they were discovered.

If there is a relative working in the mountains, he will be expelled at the same time.

Therefore, except on the day of the holiday every month, it is rare to see the workers on the mountain coming down.

The person who went there seemed to be missing, and if they hadn't been able to see him once a month, the family would have suspected that there was no such person.

If it weren't for the money in place, ordinary people really couldn't bear this loneliness and would have run away a long time ago.

The quarry also knows everyone's thoughts, so there is also a very strict requirement, as long as anyone does not go down the mountain according to the regulations, they will never be hired after being expelled.

You have to know that it's the 70s and how hard it is to find a serious job.

Most of them work in the yellow earth, and only a few have formal jobs, both in terms of income and social status.

If they can keep their jobs in the quarry, the elderly in the family will take medicine, and their children will not have to worry about going to school.

There are men in the family who work in the quarry, and although the daughter-in-law is equivalent to a widow, she can't afford to have money.

It's okay to live without a man, but it's okay to live without money.

Therefore, the work of the quarry is very popular in their village, and everyone enthusiastically signs up every time the recruitment quota is opened.

Sometimes a place is released, and forty or fifty people sign up at the same time, and they still need to go through various exams to meet the requirements to be admitted.

According to the plot he had seen before, Jiang Li had always suspected that the cause of his father's death was strange, and his mother was just going up the mountain to find someone, why did he disappear in a good manner?

Because of the strict rules of the quarry, coupled with the fact that he had just given birth to a child at that time, and his sister's whereabouts were unknown, Jiang Li had never found time to look for it.

Seeing this explosion, Jiang Li's mind became active.

Villagers who work in the quarry are afraid to go up the mountain, but because of the limited staff at the quarry, most of the people in the village do not work there.

Everyone can only give money and benefits, and ask others to help them check the situation.

There are also some people who have never been to the quarry because they are so old because they are curious, and they want to go over and see the excitement.

In this way, more than 10 people went up the mountain.

Jiang Li originally planned to go back to take the child, but as soon as he saw the situation, he immediately followed behind everyone.

Jiang Li was wearing a blue cloth overalls, an army green hat on her head, and she also smeared some plaster on her face.

Everyone was talking excitedly about this time while hurrying.

They were all commissioned by friends and relatives to go up the mountain, and their relatives did not work in the quarry, so the atmosphere at the scene was quite lively.

Jiang Li lowered her head silently, she didn't participate in the discussion from beginning to end, and she just listened quietly to what they said.

Because they didn't have an official road to the mountain in Jiangjia Village, they walked all the way on a rugged path, and it took more than an hour to reach their destination.

By the time they reached the quarry, the small stone mine in Jiangjia Village was in ruins.

The stones are heavy and huge, and explosives are usually used in mining.

The quarry was so far away from the village that even a normal blast wouldn't be particularly loud.

The explosion they had heard earlier at the bottom of the hill was clearly abnormal.

Not only was the sound loud, but there was also a mushroom cloud, and the power of this explosion was ten or twenty times more than usual.

After the explosion, the surviving people were immediately ordered by the mine owner to return to their rooms, and only a small number of people participated in the rescue.

But how many of them survived such a tragic explosion?

The villagers were about to go over to help when they suddenly saw a bloody man from the boulder.

These people didn't say a word, and carried the man and threw him directly down the cliff not far away.

Jiang Li, who was following behind everyone, stared at this scene with wide eyes and surprise.

What are they saving people, they are clearly killing people and killing people!

The others were also so frightened that they gasped, and those who were about to walk out just now silently retracted their steps.

Now that the rescue work has come to an end, only a small number of people have been saved.

They had been delayed for some time when they went up the mountain, and now more than an hour had passed, and I don't know how many lives they had killed.

Some of them were excited and wanted to rush out to settle accounts with them, but they were pulled by others on the back.

"Don't go, don't go, if you go now, you're going to die!"

"Why? Why are they so shameless? It is no wonder that few people who go to work in the quarries every year see them come back, and they originally thought that they had earned money and lived in other places, but now they found out that they were quietly harmed. ”

Not only that, but there were several heavily armed men standing not far away.

The men were all armed with shotguns, loaded and ready to kill the villagers with a single blow.

When everyone saw these people, their heads were buzzing, and at this time, a crisp voice suddenly came from the crowd.

It was a small, very nice voice, and the words that came out made their brains rumble.

"Most of the people in our village who go to work in the quarry have poor family conditions? The men who go are the pillars of the family? ”

It was Jiang Li who spoke, although the villagers saw the truth, but their brains couldn't react, Jiang Li had to add a few scoops of hot water to the boiling oil to make them react quickly.

The people in the village are just simple and honest, and they are not stupid, after Jiang Li's reminder, some people suddenly reacted.

The quarry asks them to fill out a family questionnaire every time they recruit workers.

Most of the people in the village could not write, and there were special people who investigated them.

Every time, after asking about the basic situation, there is no news for a few days, and then the people who are notified of the next interview, most of them are poor families or directly orphans.

Some are a combination of grandchildren and grandmothers, and some are adult orphans, and there is no contact between parents and brothers.

That is, if the man in the family dies, the whole family collapses.

But this is only on the surface, in fact, after the death of a man, there is no one to uphold justice for him.

So many people are dead, and no one is held responsible, probably because of this, this black-hearted quarry has existed for so many years!
