Chapter 299: Reporting the He Family
"Then go back!" Ercheng was very determined.
Dacheng tried: "Then... let me try?"
Ercheng nodded immediately: "Let's go together after work tomorrow!"
The second day.
The two men quietly left the sugar factory and went into the city.
Wen Baolu heard the factory guard's reply and waved his hand, saying, "Send someone to keep an eye on them. Be careful not to get caught!"
Dacheng and Ercheng were two beggars who came from the provincial capital. They were also found by the He family. After knowing what was happening in Guancheng, they wanted to come and give it a try.
But they didn't expect the treatment to be so good that the two wanted to rebel.
In fact, it can’t be called betrayal, it’s just finding another way out!
The He family's housekeeper met with them in a private room in a restaurant. Upon hearing their words, his face turned cold: "My master was so kind as to let you have enough food and warm clothes. If it weren't for my master, you would have frozen to death a month ago. Now that your life is better, you don't want to repay him? Dream on!"
Dacheng shuddered and said, none of these rich people are easy to get along with.
Even the housekeeper is so fierce. If they refuse to do their job, Master He will kill them!
Thinking of this, Dacheng was terrified. Seeing his second brother still trying to argue, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and said in a trembling voice, "Butler, give us some more time. My second brother and I will go back and find a way to make sugar!"
The housekeeper of the He Mansion said: "That's more like it. Here are ten taels of silver. Take it. It will make things easier for you."
Dacheng dragged Ercheng out of the restaurant. Ercheng was indignant: "Brother, why are you stopping me? Didn't we agree not to do things for them? If we get caught, we won't have a good life in the future!"
Dacheng quickly hushed him, "Keep your voice down. We're just two people and not very strong. Let's go back and discuss a solution with Dazhu and the others."
Xiao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you were really going to steal the sugar-making method, big brother!"
Dacheng sighed, "Each room is guarded by seven or eight people, and we all go home after work. We're just cleaning the sugarcane, so how can we possibly know the rest of the process?"
If you really know this method, it would be worth a lot of money!
The brothers Dazhu and Xiaozhu were originally busy working on the 3,000-acre farm in Guancheng, but after hearing about the treatment at the sugar factory here, they came here again.
He entered the factory almost at the same time as Dacheng and Xiaocheng. Since both of them were orphans and did the same job, the four of them gradually lived together and discussed their daily work with each other.
Dacheng is the oldest, followed by Dazhu, then Xiaocheng, and the youngest is Xiaozhu, who is only thirteen years old.
When Dazhu heard Dacheng say that the reason they entered the sugar factory was to steal the sugar-making method and present it to the He family, his face instantly turned sour.
It was already late at night. The four of them were living in a room. The dim candlelight flickered and the atmosphere gradually became stagnant.
"No, you can't afford to offend the He family, but the Ming family saved our lives, we can't do anything ungrateful." Dazhu remembered his parents' teachings when he was young, and his voice was firm and powerful.
Xiao Zhu also agreed with his elder brother's words: "Brother Dacheng, Brother Xiaocheng, what the He family asked you to do is illegal. If you are discovered, you must keep it. We can't go against our principles just because they gave you a meal!"
Xiao Chengzhang has always been self-interested since he was a child. The reason why he did not agree to the He family was because he saw hope in life in the Ming family.
But seeing Dazhu and Xiaozhu saying one moment that one should not be ungrateful, and the next moment that one should not go against principles, I should have sneered at them, but my mind was a little confused.
But he agreed with their point of view.
"Brother, why don't we tell the Ming family?" he asked tentatively.
Dacheng was stunned. Isn't this just walking into a trap?
But Dazhu's eyes lit up: "Yeah, tell the Ming family, what is this called?"
Xiao Zhu immediately added: "Abandon the dark and join the light!"
"Yes, abandon the dark and join the light!" Dazhu agreed very much, and said in a serious tone: "You must think it through. If you really want to take action, Xiaozhu and I will never sit idly by! Besides, do you think you can succeed?"
There have been cases of thefts at the sugar factory these days, but every time the thieves were caught before they even left the gate.
Xiao Zhu: "Brother, what are you still hesitating about? I'll go find the team leader and explain the situation!"
After saying that, he ran out without caring about anything.
Dacheng was not clear-headed, but he had gradually come to agree with Dazhu's point of view, and he hurriedly followed.
Dazhu and Xiaozhu looked at each other and followed.
While I was half asleep, there was a knock on the door.
Wen Baolu frowned and stood up suddenly when he heard the voices coming from outside.
He put on his coat and touched up his makeup in front of the mirror before going into the next room.
"Tell me, why are you looking for me so late at night? Is there something urgent?!"
The team leader pointed at Xiao Zhu with a serious expression and told him what had just happened: "Manager Ming, they said that there are people from the other side in the sugar factory. This matter is of great importance. I dare not delay for a moment. I am sorry to bother you so late at night!"
Wen Baolu looked at Dacheng and Xiaocheng, and thought about their behavior during the day. He didn't expect that he would figure it out so quickly.
But he also knew that the key lay with the two brothers Dazhu and Xiaozhu.
"Go back to your room and rest first!" he said to the two brothers.
After Xiaozhu and Dacheng left, they felt a little terrified, especially when they thought about what Manager Ming said: no mercy would be shown to them. They hadn't done anything wrong, so they shouldn't be punished.
Thinking this in his mind, Xiaocheng moved his head and looked at the other person, and was immediately frightened by those sharp eyes.
He quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
Manager Ming, it seems like you know everything?
Thinking of this, Wen Baolu also spoke up: "Didn't you agree to the housekeeper of the He Mansion during the day? Why do you regret it now? Could it be that the terms were not agreed upon?"
As soon as the question came out, the two of them fell to their knees in fear!
"Ming Guan, spare my life!" Dacheng trembled as he took out ten taels of silver. "This is what the He family's steward gave us. We dare not touch a single penny, let alone betray the Ming family!"
Xiao Cheng felt the same way, but fortunately he had a keen eye and reported it decisively.
They had only met each other once, and before they took any action, they were already seen by the other party!
If this person really dares to steal the method, I'm afraid...
Xiaocheng didn't dare think about the consequences, but at this moment he was just thankful. Fortunately, his elder brother was able to deal with the other party, fortunately he found Dacheng to discuss a solution, and fortunately, he came tonight to explain the situation...
Wen Baolu: "You guys go back first. Just pretend nothing happened tonight. I will report this to my wife. Even if no damage was caused, concealing your purpose when recruiting workers will be punished!"
Xiaocheng wanted to say something, but Dacheng covered his mouth again.
"Yes, I hope Manager Ming will forgive us two brothers this time. In the future, we will work hard for the sugar factory and we are willing to sign a death contract." Dacheng expressed his sincerity, "If Manager Ming needs us, we are willing to atone for our sins!"
Wen Baolu glanced at Dacheng and didn't expect that the other party, a beggar, knew so much!
