It was filled with young, strong men, about twenty of them. I chatted with them for a bit, and they were all there to work. I didn't think much of it, just ate something and went back to sleep. I slept like crazy for two days. Two days later, I found myself in the middle of nowhere. They told us to work straight away, and I didn't even know which direction to run.
Sister Zhao slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, you are really careless. How can you sleep all the time when you go to a strange place alone?"
"I'm just like that. I fall asleep as soon as I get in the car. I'm a grown man, not a young woman. I never thought that a grown man could be deceived by human traffickers."
Sister Zhao was shocked, "Are they human traffickers?"
"Yes, I saw with my own eyes that the leader took the money, several huge wads of money. He sold us out to them."
"Oh, then what? This grown man can't have children, what's the point of buying you?"
"It's pitch black all around, filled with coal. They're just forcing us into the mines to dig for coal."

"What? You've encountered a black coal mine?"
Yang Guangzong nodded and, with tears in his eyes, recounted his life in the illegal coal factory.
They have to dig for more than ten hours every day, and when they are rushed, they may be asked to work all night. Those who are unwilling to work will be electrocuted.
Anyone who tries to escape will also be electrocuted.
They do get paid, and it's not bad at all, one hundred yuan a day.
After hearing this, Sister Zhao said it was okay, although it would be harder, but she would make money.
Yang Guangzong immediately said, "Bullshit! The salary is a hundred, but that's just an excuse to deal with the higher-ups coming to investigate. Everything we eat, drink, and use costs money. And it's several times the price outside. For example, a steamed bun costs five cents outside, but we get twenty cents in the mining area."
Sister Zhao, "Ah? So expensive?"
"Yes, and they're much smaller than the steamed buns sold outside. We do manual labor, so if we don't eat a lot, our bodies won't be able to handle it. They say it's a hundred a month, but to ensure we don't starve to death, we have to deduct at least sixty. If we want to eat our fill, eighty or ninety is gone."
Sister Zhao was shocked. "You didn't mean you did it for free?"
Yang Guangzong nodded and said, "Yes, and the salary is paid every six months. After deducting all the miscellaneous expenses, I only got fifty yuan in the first six months."
Sister Zhao: "Tsk tsk, it's even worse than picking up scrap."
Yang Guangzong nodded again.
Sister Zhao said again, "If it's so bad, why don't you leave?"
"I'd like to, but I'd have to pay the referral fee if I leave."
"What? What referral fee?"
Yang Guangzong sighed again. "Introduction fee is a nice way of saying it. To put it bluntly, it's the money we get for selling our bodies. I've said before, the people who brought us there sold us out, and the money they took from the mine owner was actually called an introduction fee."
"Oh my god, this is just the money for selling my body, what's the introduction fee?" Sister Zhao clicked her tongue several times.
"Yes, that's the money they paid to sell us. It's always like that. Back home, when human traffickers sell girls, they call it a gift from the matchmaker. It's just another name. What's it called? To avoid legal risks."
Sister Zhao raised her eyebrows and looked at the disheveled Yang Guangzong, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
In fact, she had heard Fang Qing talk about Yang Guangzong before.
A domestic violence man keeps saying that his wife was bought.
It turns out he knows everything, and now it's his turn to be sold out.
"How much is the introduction fee?" asked Sister Zhao.
"I don't know how much, but I saw someone ask and they said it was three thousand."
"Three thousand...wow, marrying a wife won't cost three thousand."
"Isn't it? My wife..." He paused here and quickly changed the subject.
"I only save fifty dollars every six months, a hundred dollars a year, and three thousand dollars in thirty years. In thirty years, I'll be almost sixty. I'll be old and unable to work anymore, so I'll be able to come back soon."
When he said this, he felt sad, his voice changed, and then he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Sister Zhao looked at him and saw that he seemed to be crying.
Sister Zhao said, "That's not thirty years. You came back in less than three years."
Yang Guangzong sniffed and looked up after a while.
"I didn't pay compensation to get out. I escaped on my own."
"Hey, didn't you say you'd get beaten if you ran away? How did you get out?"
"Our mine collapsed, killing several people. I was lucky enough to survive and crawled out on my own. While they were busy rescuing people, I ran away."
"Oh my, those who survive a disaster will surely be blessed in the future. You are also a lucky person. Now that you have escaped, don't think about those things. Find a proper job and live a good life in the future. Good fortune is still to come."
Yang Guangzong was furious. "Humph, this matter is not over yet. I want... I want..."
Sister Zhao said, "What do you want? You can't take on an entire company on your own. Besides, you're getting paid, and I've never heard of accepting referral fees being illegal. I'm afraid you won't win the lawsuit."
Of course he knew about these things. People had come to investigate before, and the results were still the same after the investigation.
They said his food was expensive, and people said everything had to be brought from the foot of the mountain, and the transportation cost was high.
They said he had illegally detained me, but I was told I could leave at any time after paying the referral fee.
Of course, there are also cases where family members pay money to redeem their children.
I had to pay for the cost of calling home and going down the mountain myself, and all the other expenses were sky-high.
You say that the introduction fee is expensive, and they say that it is charged by the agent, so you should go find an agent.
No one knows where the person has gone, where can we find him?
As for the claim that they beat people, that is absolutely not the case.
They don't hit people, they just shock them.
Sue the company? No way.
Of course, he had also heard about it. He was lucky because this mine at least had a fig leaf and was considered semi-formal.
There is a completely irregular black coal mine that is simply eating people without leaving any bones.
If you disobey, no one will know even if you are beaten to death.
He had no way to deal with such a big company, so he could only blame Fang Qing.
"Sister Zhao, the old houses where I used to live are all gone."
"Yes, it's all been demolished, and the new houses are ready."
Yang Guangzong muttered, "This is too fast."
Sister Zhao said, "There are residents all around here, and it's also a school. I heard the deadline given by the higher-ups was very tight, so they demolished it and rebuilt it right away, and it was up and running in a few months."
Yang Guangzong nodded. "What about Fang Qing and her family? Where did they move to?"
"Lu Jiangting's company allocated him an apartment, so naturally he moved into the new house."
Yang Guangzong clenched his fists and cursed Fang Qing in his heart.
If she hadn't brought him to South City and introduced him to an illegal worker, how could he have suffered so much?
He lost his wife and almost lost his life.
She was fine, she lived a good life with that pretty boy and even moved into a new house.
