Chapter 97 Great suffering
After drinking honey water, he ate another bowl of porridge. Li Ertong, who had been resting in the middle of the night, waited for Jiang Zhongye and Jiang Ling, who were visiting late at night.
Li Ertong is only nineteen years old. She has a good foundation and cannot turn over in the evening. She can sit on the quilt late at night.
He is not old and has a baby face. He looks more tender, half-old, but he is already very good at looking at people's faces.
These three people were all good people who took the risk to save him. When Jiang Ling first asked Li Er about the mic, Li Ertong didn't want to speak and did not dare to implicate the three people.
But Jiang Ling didn't know how to ask questions, Nan Feng was very good at detours and said with a giggle: "If you don't say it, we have to send you home. Where is your home? Once you ask, you will know who you are?"
Tong Yan Wuji touched the four adults present.
Li Ertong thought for a while and said embarrassedly: "I don't have a home. I am an orphan. I live wherever I work. The day before yesterday, I was still working in the shipyard and also in the shipyard. Now the shipyard doesn't allow me to live, so I don't have a home to go back."
Du He was stunned for some reason. For some reason, this younger brother who kept telling his life story still made him feel a little sad.
No one lives in this foreign market in ten miles. Everyone has their own ups and downs. If you don’t ask or say more, it’s not only to respect others, but also to reduce your own troubles.
Unless necessary, few people talk about their own life experience, but Li Ertong doesn't mind, or he doesn't think that these are hardships. He has been a child laborer since he was a child, and he has been through this since he started a fight. So his life has always been like this, and he doesn't feel anything difficult to talk about.
It was like this that orphan who didn't know what his home was, which easily touched Du He's heart.
After all, Jiang Zhongye was older and his mind was more mature and steady. He said calmly: "Xiao Li, those people who were wearing the same clothes as you... were all workers in the shipyard?"
Li Ertong nodded, held her head again, and agreed with difficulty.
"If you are injured, you can't shake it. Be careful." Jiang Zhongye quickly added a pillow to Li Ertong and leaned it on him. Seeing that Li Ertong was not fainting, he continued to ask, "If it is convenient, can you tell me why you were pursued by so many military and police? Could it be that something happened to the shipyard?"
Li Ertong looked at Jiang Zhongye, lowered her eyelids, and whispered "Yes".
"The dock is too old. I have been in the shipyard for several years, and the wood has not been replaced... When forging parts, I have to remove stress from the stove. Such a large stove is next to the dock, and the wood is crispy... That day, the shelf collapsed with a bang, and I was smashed into the warehouse... Many people died... A Shui was also dead, and Brother Daqiang was also dead... Brother Shi has not found it yet..."
In Li Ertong's narrative, Du He quickly understood how unfair the victims left.
None of these people is a newbie, all of whom are skilled veterans. When working on the front line, they lost their lives in vain due to old equipment and insufficient factory safety awareness.
Li Ertong gradually became immersed in her memories, clenched her fists, pounded her pounding the bed, and gritted her teeth and said, "There is no one, but the boss said that they made a mistake in operation. Not only did they not pay their lives, but they also had to pursue the losses they caused! Brother Daqiang has worked in the shipyard for ten years, and he is more skilled than the foreign engineers hired by the boss!"
"Suddenly... fell down from such a high place..."
Li Ertong choked and finally couldn't say anything. He still didn't cry, but his eyes were red, as if he was crying too much. The tears were already very precious and would not fall easily.
Nanfeng lay in Du He's arms, crying so hard that his shoulders shook. Jiang Ling also quietly wiped away tears with the back of his hands. Du He was thinking, and Jiang Zhongye slowly lit a cigarette.
"In such a world, life is cheap..."
In the smoke, the sound of the river middle-aged man reached the ears of several people. Nanfeng shook and grabbed Du He's clothes tightly, fearing that Du He would disappear.
Jiang Ling looked at Nanfeng, held his hands together, and suddenly asked, "It's obviously time for you to ask for an explanation, why do those people chase you?"
Li Ertong was silent for a moment, "Because we asked the boss to compensate the dead workers, the boss did not agree, so we stopped working and protested."
"Those detectives were probably invited by the boss. The boss's power is said to be very large. Many of us have been arrested in prison, and I don't know when it will be released."
"It's outrageous!"
"Not to be a son of man!"
Jiang Ling and Du He cursed at the same time.
Li Ertong laughed bitterly, rubbed the corner of her clothes hesitantly, and said tentatively: "Three great benefactors, can I stay for a few more days... three days, two days, and then I will avoid the limelight and find another job, and I will pay off your medical expenses within half a year."
"I'm sorry, my benefactors have helped me so much. I don't know at least... I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and there will definitely be no news."
Seeing that the three of them had no answer for a while, Li Ertong was disappointed and handed the three of them a step.
Jiang Ling pulled Jiang Zhongye's clothes.
Jiang Zhongye's arm was just enough to get the girl out of touch. In addition, the young man was really pitiful. Without thinking too much, Jiang Zhongye spoke, "Xiao Li, how much is your salary when you work in a shipyard?"
"Five oceans a month, pay every six months..."
Li Ertong said with some pain.
It was actually very close to his wages, but Li Ertong participated in the strike against his boss. Needless to think about it, the dozens of dollars of oceans were thrown into the water.
After working hard for several years, Li Ertong became a skilled worker in advance. Before she could enjoy the good treatment, she tasted the bitter taste of life again.
"Then, you should also do something by looking at the design drawings."
Du Heshan asked Jiang Zhongye about Li Ertong's level with understanding.
In fact, it’s not necessary to ask. Li Ertong is only nineteen years old and earns more than Du He, who is twenty-one, and must be a skilled worker.
Shipyards are no more than other types of jobs. This kind of work requires very precise work. Workers are allowed to operate only if they can understand the drawings.
Sure enough, Li Ertong nodded without hesitation, "I worked in a printing factory before, and my boss often paid part of his salary for broken printed books. Therefore, literacy is not a problem. Do my benefactors have any work to do? Except for the stainless steel ones, I can do the rest, and it is guaranteed to be fast and good."
"If you give you six dollars a month, you will feel wronged. Stay in Liankui's class and be a prop master for us magicians."
Jiang Zhongye said with a smile.
Li Ertong opened her mouth wide.
With a head wrapped in white gauze, a big mouth and a dull look, Li Ertong's expression was a bit funny.
Nanfeng burst into laughter.
