Chapter 832 Construction Site Resumes Work
The construction site was dusty, and when it was lunchtime, workers came here in groups of three or four.
Working would definitely get clothes dirty, so they all wore the most tattered cotton-padded jackets in the house, which were sewn by their wives and covered with layers of patches.
Without a wife to sew the cotton-padded jacket, the hole in the jacket was torn, and you could see the hardened and blackened cotton wool inside.
Working in the middle of winter, my hands and feet were numb from the cold. I received my meal in an iron basin, sat down on the spot, and used the residual warmth of the steamed cornbread to warm my hands, and only then did I feel better.
The food on the construction site is neither good nor bad, it's just ordinary home-cooked dishes with no meat and little oil. It's not tasty but the workers are used to it.
After working for a whole morning, my stomach was sore with hunger, so I took out my chopsticks and started eating with the steamed bun.
"Why isn't there even a piece of meat?"
A rare complaint caught everyone's attention. The person complaining was a newcomer who had just arrived at the construction site today.
An acquaintance from the same village retorted to him, "Third son, it's already dawn, and you're still dreaming?"
"It's good enough that the steamed bread doesn't have any stones, but it also needs meat!"
A group of people burst into laughter, sweeping away the fatigue of work.
The third son rolled his eyes at them and said, "You know nothing. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
"The food at the construction site I worked at before was delicious, with meat included. My salary was paid daily and was never delayed. The boss was so generous!"
The group of people gradually quieted down and listened to Sanzi's words with longing in their eyes.
"Just brag, if it's really as good as you say, why are you here?!"
The third son was stunned by the question and snorted coldly: "Do you think I want to come?"
As soon as work at Boss Jiang's construction site stopped, the workers went back home.
I thought the construction site would reopen in three days at most, but it didn't.
After waiting for three days and three days, seeing that there was no movement at the construction site, Sanzi had no choice but to go to another construction site for the time being.
The third son told the story that someone was injured at the construction site, causing the work to be suspended.
After he finished speaking, someone suddenly said, "Is this the scam they said in the newspaper?"
The third son looked over and asked, "What do you mean by 'touching porcelain'?"
He couldn't read a single word, so naturally he couldn't read a newspaper.
The man who often boasted about his son being a top student said, "There's such a thing in the newspaper my son read to me."
"An old man collapsed at the hospital entrance due to heatstroke. An old doctor there saw him and saved him. He returned home healthy. The next day, someone suddenly brought the old man back to the hospital to cause trouble, demanding compensation from the doctor."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, for the sake of money, I even abandon my conscience."
"I think the people injured at their construction site might be this type of person. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that a brick hit him on the head?"
Sanzi shook his head repeatedly and explained on Yu Wenhua's behalf: "No, Xiao Yu is not that kind of person. Boss Jiang offered him compensation, but he didn't ask for any money. He just said there were safety hazards at the construction site. He thought for us and asked us to stop the construction site for an inspection."
"If he really wanted money, how could he say that?"
Everyone had different thoughts. Some were persuaded by the third son, while some smarter ones thought of going to work on the construction site.
Working there is meaningless. Only a fool would not go to a construction site with better benefits.
——
Wang Honghong received a call from Brother Jiang early in the morning, asking him to come over to the construction site.
He drove the jeep and parked it in front of the construction site.
As soon as the car stopped, a group of people gathered around, all of them were workers who had been working at the construction site.
Everyone was so cold that their faces turned pale and their ears were red, and they had their hands stuffed into their sleeves.
"Boss Wang is here!"
"When will Boss Wang's construction site reopen?"
"That's right, it's been so many days."
After they went to other construction sites, they remembered the advantages of this construction site. As soon as Wang Honghong appeared, they couldn't wait to surround her.
Wang Honghong got out of the car and looked around. There were a few familiar faces inside. They were the people who had followed Yu Wenhua in causing trouble, jumping up and down and demanding that the construction site be shut down.
When those people were caught in his gaze, they lowered their heads in shame and became much more obedient.
Seeing that the situation was similar to what Brother Jiang had expected, Wang Honghong chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the construction site will start tomorrow."
The workers who gathered around were all smiling.
"but……"
Wang Honghong changed the subject: "We need to recruit new people."
The smile that had just begun to bloom was frozen on my face by the cold wind.
“Why do we need to recruit new people?”
"As long as the construction site reopens, we will all come back. There is no shortage of people."
Wang Honghong followed Brother Jiang's instructions and said, "Don't overthink it. This isn't targeting you. It's for everyone's safety."
He said meaningfully, "After all, if someone gets hurt and work stops, no one can afford the loss."
After receiving this big news, Wang Honghong hung the recruitment notice on the wall.
The workers looked grim.
Because the job posting clearly states that experienced workers are required, and a letter of certification from a construction site is also required.
Those who disagreed said bitterly, "It's such a hassle. They won't be able to find us. Just wait, they'll beg us to go back."
With the idea of watching the show, the workers came again the next day.
But the bustling scene at the construction site left them stunned.
There were actually people who came with letters of introduction, and there were quite a few of them!
Jiang Chen intended to establish his own construction team, and took this opportunity to recruit a lot of capable people, which was a blessing in disguise.
They were in high spirits, and Li Guang was gritting his teeth watching them.
Yu Wenhua was brought in roughly. He was as dark and thin as a piece of charcoal. The wound on his head was slightly inflamed and the skin was white because he didn't go to the hospital to bandage it.
He was pushed to the ground and his head hit Li Guang's leather shoes.
Li Guang took a step back in disgust: "Jiangchen's construction site has resumed work."
Yu Wenhua sat up awkwardly, but was not surprised to hear that.
He stood up, patted the dirt off his body and said, "Boss Li, don't worry. If I succeeded once, I can succeed a second time. This time, I will definitely shut down his construction site completely."
Li Guang was very satisfied with his attitude.
"If you're done, I'll give you some extra money."
Yu Wenhua didn't buy his promise. After this period of contact, he had completely seen through Li Guang.
He will be thankful that he can be given the money he deserves as agreed.
——
"Brother Jiang, that kid is here again!"
Wang Honghong's sharp eyes glanced at Yu Wenhua and her face changed as if she was facing a great enemy.
"I'll go chase that guy away."
Jiang Chen stopped him: "Don't worry, let's see what he's going to do."
Yu Wenhua first went to find a few good friends at the construction site. I don’t know what they said, but I guess they were definitely saying bad things about the construction site.
But it seemed that a few people had not reached an agreement, and some people who were queuing to enter the construction site pushed him away impatiently.
Yu Wenhua was about to say something when one of the guys with a bad temper raised his fist as if to hit him.
Wang Honghong was extremely satisfied. Seeing Yu Wenhua leaving in a dusty state, she laughed heartily, holding her stomach.
Meng Guan poured cold water on him: "Don't be too happy too soon, that kid is not someone who will give up easily."
Sure enough, the next day, the kid caused trouble again.
As expected of a ruthless man who dared to hit his own head with a brick, he pried open the wound that had barely healed, and came to the construction site door crying with blood all over his face.
Wang Honghong wanted to chase the man away, but Jiang Chen stopped her and told her not to worry about it and let Yu Wenhua do what she wanted.
Yu Wenhua was even more punctual than punching in at work. For several days in a row, he came in the morning and left in the evening. Sometimes he came alone, and sometimes he was accompanied by five children younger than him.
He was dark and thin, and those children were not much better, looking particularly pitiful.
The aunt who lived nearby didn't know the whole story, and when she heard Yu Wenhua complain about the construction site taking advantage of people, she actually believed it.
One by one, they turned into righteous men and followed Yu Wenhua to make trouble.
They throw rotten vegetable leaves at the door every day. If Wang Honghong hadn't called people to keep an eye on it, they might have thrown manure at the door too.
For a time, the construction site had a bad reputation.
