She quickly asked, "Uncle, can you tell me? My father happens to be working at the construction site, maybe he can really go!"
Shen Jianlin's expression became more serious. He took two sips of tea and then said hesitantly, "Girl, I just said that this job is dangerous. I think we have a connection, so I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Actually, we are going to dig coal."
Fu Bao was stunned, his eyes widened in astonishment, "Coal mining?!"
"Yes, a coal mine was discovered in another province. The mine has been dug and they are waiting for workers to go there. Coal mining is profitable, but it is dangerous. I know some construction site safety knowledge, so they asked me to join them. Many members of the construction team went there."
Fubao never thought that Shen Jianlin would encounter such a thing.
Grandpa usually buys newspapers every day, and Fubao also reads them. He knows that private coal mines have been booming in recent years, and many people go to dig coal to make quick money. However, due to the large number of informal coal mines, many accidents happen every year!
Fubao looked at Shen Jianlin nervously, "Uncle, are you going?"
“I’m thinking about this.”
"You can't go!" Fu Bao became a little anxious, "Uncle, that person asked you to go to a private coal mine, right?"
Shen Jianlin was surprised that a little girl like her actually knew this. She nodded and said, "Yes, Manager Zhu said that the coal mine was contracted by a boss. That boss was very generous and gave much more money than the state-owned coal mine!"
"Private coal mines are prone to accidents and are too dangerous, so of course the money will be higher! Uncle, have you read the newspaper recently? It said that a private coal mine violated the regulations and twelve miners were buried in the mine. When the rescue team arrived, it was too late! So you can't go. Is your family short of money now?"
We just sold the gold ingots a few days ago. Now our family has several thousand dollars and can live a good life. But my father still wants to do such a dangerous job.
Did he think the money was hers and he wanted to make money on his own?
Dad is such a stubborn person!
Shen Jianlin sighed, looking worried. "My uncle's family has always been poor. We can say that we are the poorest family in the village. I want to build a new house for my family, buy a car to take my wife to work every day, and send the kids to school in the city. This requires a lot of money."
"Especially my daughter, she is almost of school age. I only have one daughter, if I had money, I could send her to the best school in the county!"
After all, Dad is still thinking about her...
Fubao clenched her fingers under the table, not wanting to reveal too much of her emotions. She pursed her lips and said, "But, if your wife and daughter knew that you were going to dig coal, what would they think?"
Shen Jianlin was stunned, his eyes a little dazed.
Fu Bao looked him in the eye and said seriously, "If you were my father, I would never let you do such a dangerous thing even if I killed you! Is money more important than life? Mines are prone to accidents. If something happens to you, it will be a devastating blow to your family. What will happen to you, my family?"
"Do you want your elderly parents to bury their young children, your wife to become a widow at a young age, and your children to lose their father at a very young age?!" Fubao became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes turning red.
Manager Zhu just now didn't look like a good person at all, and she was worried that he was the one who deceived her father.
