Chapter 42 Another Trap



Who told you people from Longzhou to offend me? When a woman gets angry, there's no reasoning with her.

Don't try to reason with her or spout nonsense like "If someone offends you, you should retaliate."

Whoever gets blamed is just unlucky.

I inquired at the entrance of the coal plant and found out that I could indeed install it myself.

When the truck goes in, it is weighed. After loading the coal, it is weighed again when it comes out. The weight of the truck is deducted from the weight of the coal. Payment is made according to the tonnage.

Zuo Ling felt much more at ease. After passing through the scales and receiving the receipt, she was about to enter the room when...

A coal loader came up and asked, "Young lady, do you need to load a truck? It's 200 yuan per truckload."

Zuo Ling's vehicle has a load capacity of 4.5 tons, so it definitely won't be fully loaded; it can probably carry more than 3 tons.

200 yuan per car, that's really not expensive.

Zuo Ling had her own ulterior motives, so she naturally refused to hire a coal loader and politely declined.

The coal loader tried to persuade her again: "Young lady, loading coal is dirty and tiring. How long will it take you to finish this job?"

It's not the coldest time of year yet, so there aren't many coal haulers. The coal loaders work half a day and rest for half a day.

Zuo Ling smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'll take my time pretending."

After saying that, he ignored everyone else and left on his own.

The coal mine was huge; seeing the coal piles that looked like small mountains was quite awe-inspiring.

Avoiding populated areas, Zuo Ling found a secluded corner and began loading coal.

She covered her head and face, hiding herself completely.

Loading coal is definitely not a job for girls. After working for a short while, I was filthy from head to toe.

Zuo Ling didn't care that her mouth was full of coal dust; in fact, she was quite happy.

They were loading things onto the car and putting them into the storage space. Putting them into the storage space was much easier than loading them onto the car.

With a swipe of the large iron shovel into the coal pile, and a thought, the coal obediently entered the space.

Loading it onto the truck takes much more effort.

Zuo Ling was very happy. The truck was loaded with one shovelful of coal, and the space inside could hold seven or eight shovelfuls. The coal pile in the space was getting bigger and bigger.

While assembling the garment, he muttered, "I told you not to design me, I told you not to design me..."

The coal she shoveled was like the heart of her thin face; she wouldn't feel satisfied until she pierced it into a sieve.

The coal mine owner is really unlucky... What did I do to deserve this?!

Loading coal is addictive. After loading one truck, I would go for a half-hour drive and then come back to load another one.

They bought 7 tons of coal on the surface, but in the space, it was more than 10 times that amount.

The coal mine is huge, with coal mountains one after another. You can't even tell if you're missing 80 or 90 tons of coal.

Today's events have opened Pandora's box; Zuo Ling has become addicted to shoveling coal.

From Longzhou to Qingzhou, whenever she saw a coal mine, she would go in and haul coal.

If there's not much coal, load one truck; if there's enough time, load two. The amount of coal in the space is increasing at a rate more than tenfold.

At first, she felt a little guilty.

After doing it a few times, you get used to it.

To console myself, I know that natural disasters are coming: earthquakes, rivers flowing backward, avalanches, tornadoes, tectonic plate collisions, acid rain... there are too many possibilities that could destroy coal resources.

They either return to the earth, or are washed away by the river or blown away by the wind.

Acid rain can also cause coal to lose its original energy, so it's better to let it take away and not waste it.

Until Qingzhou, there are endless mountain ranges, grasslands covered with Gesang flowers, a sky so blue it's intoxicating, and cattle and sheep grazing leisurely.

The simple, pure colors, unable to tolerate the black coal, finally pulled Zuo Ling back from her madness.
