They were scared to death!
The two men sat limply on the ground, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
Yuchi Feng also came over and squatted down like Yuchi Xi. "Why do you still do bad things when you are so timid?"
The two smiled bitterly and lowered their heads in shame, "We didn't want to..."
"But we've been working for a year, and the contractor hasn't paid us. Over the past year, we've been relying on my wife and mother to sew purses and other things to supplement the family income. Recently, my wife and mother have been in poor health, and we really have no other choice!"
They don’t want to either!
However, they cannot get paid for the work they can do.
They can't do other things, like accounting. They have no education and don't know how to do it. You say they can become a chef and cook. They can cook, but they haven't reached the level of a chef, so people don't want them.
That day, the two of them read a storybook that said this business could make a lot of money quickly.
So they decided to give it a try.
Yuchi Xi and Yuchi Feng looked very noble in their attire, so they decided to give it a try.
This was my first order. I didn’t expect that I hadn’t made any money yet. I was almost scared to death.
"Where do you work?"
Yuchi Xi asked curiously.
The two looked at each other and didn't hide anything. "We're carrying sand from the gravel pit in the east of the city."
Anyway, there is no one else here, and they are just two little kids, so it’s okay to tell them.
The main reason is that they feel miserable and want to complain.
"When they first recruited us, they promised us 20 cents a day, then told us we'd be paid monthly the next day. After a month, they told us we'd be paid every six months."
"When half a year is up, you tell us we'll settle it once a year!"
"Everyone initially thought the money was high, but there was nothing else to do, and everyone only knew how to do these manual labor jobs..."
So you've been doing illegal work?
Yuchi Xi touched his chin and asked, "Why don't you go to the government office and file a complaint together?"
The two men lowered their heads. "Someone reported this to the government office. Someone claiming to be the chief clerk said they would tell the Jingzhao Yin. But the next day, they were beaten by people from the gravel quarry, and the Jingzhao Yin didn't even show up..."
They also understood that officials and businessmen are one family.
How can ordinary people like them fight against them?
Yuchi Xi narrowed his eyes, huh!
It seems that this government office has produced many "good officials"!
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you hungry? We don't have anything to give you. Let's go back and get some water for you to drink."
They didn't want to embarrass the children, "Where are you from? We'll send you back soon!"
"We've thought about it carefully and decided we can't do this. We'll offend the Buddha... Guanyin Bodhisattva."
They both regret it very much now.
Yuchi Xi blinked his eyes and said, "You will naturally be punished by the Bodhisattva for arresting innocent people like us. But if you are just trying to get your original wages back, then I won't blame you!"
"Why don't you just go and arrest the contractor of the gravel quarry?"
