Siheyuan: Starting from 1952

After Liu Haizhong left, Lu Juemin came to the property management room.

Check Chen Tianhua's belongings one by one.

Half a day later.

He found an envelope.

There were four hundred yuan and a piece of letter paper in the envelope.

This fits the description in Liu Haizhong very well.

I guess this letter was the one Liu Haizhong gave to Chen Tianhua.

Lu Juemin took a quick look at the piece of letter paper and found that it was all about himself.

Some of these things are made up out of thin air, some are exaggerated, and some are real.

In short.

In any case, this letter of complaint is full of malice.

If someone with ulterior motives really punishes me according to the contents of the report letter.

I guess I might be sent directly to the north to do hard labor.

of course.

This is just the worst possible scenario.

But in fact, it is impossible for me to go to the north.

After all, with my own abilities, it is impossible for me to just "surrender without a fight".

He just wanted to say that Liu Haizhong's behavior was really disgusting.

He thought that he hadn't done anything to him, right?

He even wanted to be the team leader, and I agreed to it.

It's just that he himself didn't meet the standards.

It turned out that this bastard actually wanted to take revenge on himself.

Even at the cost of a lot of money.

it is good!

Very good!

Knew it.

Human nature is inherently evil.

Never underestimate a person who does evil.

"Liu Haizhong, since you want to die, don't blame me!"

This fringe is bullying me.

If I don't teach him a lesson, I'll seem like a saint.

And as the deputy director of the factory.

Want to clean up a worker.

This couldn't be simpler.

Think for a while.

Lu Juemin found a solution.

……

Forging is the process of hammering a part repeatedly.

In other words, it's the blacksmith working in the factory.

Liu Haizhong is the blacksmith.

this day.

The work assignment received by the workshop director where Liu Haizhong works.

As soon as the workshop workers saw the task, they immediately wailed.

"No way? Why are there so many tasks this time? We can't finish them even if we work for ten days or half a month!"

"That is to say, has our workshop been targeted?"

"Such a huge workload is really exhausting!"

"..."

Hearing the workers' complaints, the workshop director quickly said, "Look carefully, everyone. You can't do this mission even if you want to! This requires a forger above level five to do it! So stop complaining, this mission has nothing to do with you!"

Level 5 blacksmith?

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Liu Haizhong.

Because the whole workshop.

He is the only level five blacksmith.

in other words.

No matter how you look at it, this mission seems to be assigned to Liu Haizhong specifically.

The workshop director walked up to Liu Haizhong and said, "Master Liu, you're going to have to work hard for a while! Come on, work hard!"

"Oh."

Liu Haizhong responded perfunctorily.

Because he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

As the saying goes, those who are capable should work harder.

He felt that he was the most capable person in the workshop, and that the factory was respecting him by entrusting him with such an important task.

It is to pay attention to your own performance.

So in the beginning.

He accepted the task happily.

But slowly.

He sensed something was wrong.

Because there are too many tasks.

There are so many that we can never finish them.

I work overtime every day until I am the only one in the workshop, but I still can't finish the work.

This went on for a week.

He finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He found the workshop director and begged, "Director, I really can't do this task anymore. If I continue like this, I will be ruined! Please talk to the factory and let other workshops complete this task!"

"no!"

The workshop director refused and said, "Master Liu, this task was specially assigned by the factory and must be processed by our workshop. How can you back out after only working for a few days?"

The workshop director said mysteriously to Liu Haizhong: "Master Liu, I have actually received the news. This mission is actually a test for you from the factory! If you pass this test, the factory will let you be my deputy. The deputy is a leader one level higher than the team leader. Do you know this?"

"Really...really?" Liu Haizhong was a little excited after hearing this.

"How can I lie to you? This is a special instruction given to me by my superiors, so just work hard!"

"Okay, okay! I'll do it! Even if I'm damn tired to death, I'll do it!" Liu Haizhong nodded repeatedly.

This time.

Liu Haizhong no longer complains or feels tired.

In order to complete the task earlier, he gets up earlier than the chicken and sleeps later than the dog.

I spend most of the day in the workshop.

Every day when he went home to rest, his body really couldn't take it, so he gave his wife a massage or something.

Liu's wife felt sorry for him, so she advised him, "Old Liu, can we ask our boss to stop doing this job? If you keep doing this, you'll die!"

"What are you calling for?"

Liu Haizhong glared at his wife and said, "This is one of the few opportunities I have to be a leader. How could I give it up? I tell you, even if my body falls apart, I will not give up!"

"But... even if you become a leader, your health is ruined... this... this is not worth it..."

"How can the body be damaged so easily? Come on, stop talking nonsense and give me a good massage... Ouch... It really hurts..."

"..."

……

Lu Juemin was a little surprised.

He originally thought that Liu Haizhong could only last about ten days.

Will give up.

Unexpectedly, it has been half a month and he still hasn't given up.

Is this willpower?

No!

This is the obsession of wanting to be a leader.

Or greed.

Without such a motivation, he would never have been able to persist for so long.

In other words.

Lu Juemin underestimated Liu Haizhong's obsession with becoming a leader.

Although it was underestimated, it was still utilized.

Yes.

He assigned this task to Liu Haizhong.

Blacksmithing is a hard job, and anyone who does it will have sequelae, such as muscle strain.

The reason why Liu Haizhong was forced to work at such a high intensity was to make the aftereffects of this disease come earlier.

By the time……

The bangs are considered useless.

By then, let alone forging, even slightly strenuous physical work would be needed.

He can't do anything.

By then, he will be a useless person.

In this era, disabled people cannot survive.

One can imagine how hard life must be after Liu Haizhong's death.

Lu Juemin liked this method very much.

He felt that this would be more tormenting than killing Liu Haizhong directly or cutting off his hands and feet.

Lu Juemin also admitted that this method was very cruel.

but……

Who made Liu Haizhong dare to provoke me?

You want to live a good life but you have to mess it up.

This! He asked for it!

Things slowly developed in the direction Lu Juemin had expected.

this day.

Liu Haizhong is working hard in the workshop.

Sudden.

He felt a sharp pain in his arm and the hammer fell to the ground with a thud.

He wanted to try to pick up the hammer.

It turned out that he couldn't do it at all.

And the pain in my arm became more severe.

The pain made him grimace and scream.

Other workers in the workshop heard the sound and hurried over.

"Master Liu, what's wrong with you?"

"Master Liu, what happened?"

"..."

Facing the inquiries of his co-workers, Liu Haizhong shouted in pain: "My hand hurts so much, send me to the clinic quickly!"

When the worker heard this, he immediately took Liu Haizhong to the health center.

As a result, the clinic’s conditions were limited and they were unable to help Liu Haizhong at all.

no way.

The only option was to send Liu Haizhong to the hospital again.

After careful examination by the hospital doctor, it was finally concluded that the pain in the bangs was caused by muscle strain, and it was already an irreversible condition.

Liu Haizhong didn't understand, so he shouted, "What is an irreversible state? What does it mean?"

The doctor replied: "That means there is an untreatable problem with your hand, and you can no longer do heavy work!"

"What???"

When Liu Haizhong heard the doctor's words, he felt like he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

Can’t do heavy work anymore?

Does that mean I can’t be a fitter anymore?

Then... wouldn't I become a useless person?

This...oh my god!

All of a sudden.

The bangs are unacceptable.

He begged the doctor to cure him, otherwise what would he do in the future?

But in response to Liu Haizhong's plea, the doctor could only say that in his case the only thing he could do was rest, and there was no other particularly good treatment.

in other words.

There's just nothing I can do.

that moment.

Liu Haizhong wanted to die.

Originally he was still immersed in the joy that he would soon become a leader.

But now...

Not to mention becoming a leader, you can’t even keep your job.

What can I do???

soon.

The factory knew about Liu Haizhong's situation.

After discussion, the factory gave Liu Haizhong a choice.

Receive part of the subsidy and then leave the factory.

After all, a factory can't keep idle people.

I will never keep a useless person.

There is no way a man like him, who can't even lift a hammer, can be qualified for factory work.

For such an arrangement.

Liu Haizhong was naturally dissatisfied.

He made a scene in the factory, "I, Liu Haizhong, broke my hand because of the factory's mission. Now you are just killing me!"

Liu Haizhong's statement was recognized by many people.

I feel that the factory really shouldn’t treat Liu Haizhong like this.

There is support.

Liu Haizhong made an even bigger fuss.

Faced with this situation, the factory discussed it again.

I think the subsidy may be insufficient.

So some more subsidies were added.

Another solution was also provided: find him an easy job in the factory that does not require physical labor. Of course, the salary would be much lower than his previous job as a fitter.

Naturally, you can't be a leader.

And gave the right of choice to Liu Haizhong himself.

Let him choose for himself.

Liu Haizhong faces a choice.

For a moment he didn't know what to choose.

if you can.

He wanted to return to his job as a blacksmith.

But it's obviously impossible.

So... choose the first one?

As for the first type...the current subsidy given by the factory is a total of 2,000 yuan, and there are also some miscellaneous bills.

Looks very generous.

But think about it realistically.

There aren't many of these things.

The main reason is that Liu Haizhong is less than 50 years old this year, and his salary as a blacksmith is more than 50 yuan a month.

Even if the salary remains the same, if you work in the factory for another ten years, you will earn more than 6,000 yuan.

So in his eyes, two thousand dollars is just a waste of money!

What about the second approach?

Liu Haizhong was unwilling too.

Until now, he still has a dream of becoming a leader.

If you choose the second one.

Then he will never be a leader in this life.

Think about it.

Liu Haizhong decided to continue making trouble.

Of course, the purpose of this disturbance is to get the factory to increase its subsidies again.

But this time.

No matter how much trouble he made, the factory ignored him.

The main reason is that not many people support him this time.

Previous employees felt that the two methods currently proposed by the factory were already humane enough.

There's no need to continue making a fuss.

Liu Haizhong had no choice but to take the two thousand yuan and leave in anger.

Because he felt that gold would shine wherever it was, and if he was not welcome here, there were other places that would welcome him!

After leaving the steel mill, he could find a better job, become a leader, and reach the peak of his life.

But yeah.

The imagination is full and the reality is skinny.

After leaving the steel mill, he realized that the outside world was really difficult!

Especially someone like him who can't do heavy work.

It's difficult to find a job suitable for him.

After several setbacks, he felt that his life was over.

But at this moment, Jia Dongxu suddenly returned to the courtyard and found him.

"Uncle Liu, I heard about your current situation. I feel deeply sorry for what you've gone through."

"What's wrong? Are you here to laugh at me?"

"No, no!" Jia Dongxu waved his hands quickly, "Uncle Liu, I want to offer you a job!"

"Work? What work?"

"It's a very simple job. If you want to do it, I can show you how to do it!"

"You still need to understand it first? It's so mysterious, isn't it some shameful job?"

"Uncle Liu, you are joking. I am a law-abiding citizen. How could I do anything shameful?"

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Liu Haizhong weighed the pros and cons and decided to follow Jia Dongxu to see what was going on.

After all, this might be his only way out.

that's it.

Liu Haizhong followed Jia Dongxu to a small building.

The sign on the door of this small building reads "Frost Grocery Store".

grocery store?

Liu Haizhong frowned and walked in.

I found that this grocery store is quite large and has a wide variety of miscellaneous items.

"Jia Dongxu, what do you want me to do in this grocery store?" Liu Haizhong asked after the tour.

"Yes, this job is easy and does not require much physical strength. Moreover, as long as you are willing, Uncle Liu, you can immediately become the manager of the grocery store. How about it? Are you interested?"

"manager?"

When he heard the title, Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed.

I no longer ask him what exactly he, as a manager, needs to do...
