The three of them hurriedly went downstairs and ran over. They saw the contractor holding a wooden stick in his hand, beating the old man lying on the ground repeatedly, and saying, "Fuck you, it's against you, it's against you!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Qingdu quickly stepped forward, grabbed the waving stick, and turned around to ask what happened.

The workers behind were talking a lot. Lin Qingdu listened for a long time before he figured out the situation. In the past two days, the construction site changed the daily settlement to once every three days on the grounds that daily settlement was a waste of time. Today is the third day of settlement. On that day, the old man watched for a long time, but there was no sign of settlement, so he went to inquire. He was told that the settlement would be changed to once a month. The old man quit on the spot and shouted to leave. Give him the three days' payment. After the money was settled, the contractor said he could either get out of here or work for a month before he could get paid.

The old man has been working on the construction site for a long time, seeing the checkout time being delayed again and again. Why is it unclear that this is the rhythm of defaulting on the debt? Immediately, he went outside and shouted loudly, attracting people to come over, saying that the construction site was going to default on its debt, and asked everyone to force the contractor to settle the bill.

Seeing that more and more people were crowding around, the contractor leader picked up a wooden stick on the ground and started beating him. Several people were beaten back, but the old man was the only one who was still in front of them, and he fell to the ground.

The contractor was panting and cursing, and was about to pull back the wooden stick. Unexpectedly, the wooden stick seemed to be caught by iron pliers and did not move at all. The man was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked him. Lin Qingdu turned sideways and relaxed Dodge.

Lin Qingdu was also furious at Qiqiao due to the news. He had earned the money through hard work and sweat, so why not give it to him? And you also want to beat people. How can you bully people like this? Today I am going to show you some color!

As he said this, Lin Qingdu grabbed the wooden stick and was about to step forward. As soon as he took a step, he was hugged tightly by the old man on the ground, "Baby, you can't hit me. If you hit me, the police will be called. Not only is the money gone, but you also have to have a record on your record. You are young and cannot afford it."

While Lin Qingdu was being stopped, Wang Qiang had already found a masonry knife from nowhere. He lowered his head and walked inside with murderous intent. Meng Changlin next to him seemed to have also stopped him, "No, no, no. Just three days' wages? Think about your status!" Meng Changlin lowered his voice.

Seeing both of them being stopped, the contractor took off his helmet and said, "What, you want to hit me? Come on, come on, come on, don't stop me, hit me here, you can't kill me, you two are my sons!" "

After hearing this, the two men were furious and were about to struggle over. When the workers on both sides heard what the old man said, they realized what they were saying, divided into two groups, and stopped the two men.

The contractor also looked angry. Did he really have no money? Of course not. How much can a worker spend if he only has two hundred a day? What makes him angry is that these people are becoming more and more difficult to control now. This unhealthy trend must be severely suppressed. Otherwise, if others follow suit, what's the point?

He put the helmet on his head and said, "Don't you want money? I'll give it to you right now, but if you want money, there's no way!" He pointed to the old man on the ground.

When they heard that they still had money, all the workers were overjoyed and quickly went to the side to line up to receive the money.

Wang Qiang watched all this gloomily. Meng Changlin beside him had already rushed over to queue up. He spat on the ground, threw his hat on the ground, turned around and left.

Lin Qingdu also queued up and successfully received three days' salary, six hundred yuan. He held the money tightly in his hands and came to the old man sitting far away. He handed the money forward.

"I'll give you mine!"

The old man raised his head in surprise, feeling that he had heard wrongly.

"Isn't your grandson still studying? He's a master's student! He's so awesome. Didn't he even have a girlfriend? That would cost even more. You can keep the money."

"How can this be done?" The old man jumped up suddenly, his dark face turning red.

"I'm still young and have plenty of opportunities to make money, so don't shirk it."

Lin Qingdu forcibly took the old man's hand and put all the money into his hand.

The old man's hand holding the money trembled slightly. He wanted to refuse, but when he thought of his grandson, his waist bent unconsciously. This money was indeed very important to him!

"Thank you, thank you." The old man didn't know what to say, so he could only keep saying thank you.

Lin Qingdu smiled gently at him, turned around and walked out of the construction site.

"What are your plans next? Do you want us to get some company and find a construction site?"

Lin Qingdu raised his hand and waved it back, "No, I want to go see other places!"

Lin Qingdu was not far away when Meng Changlin caught up with him from behind, "Xiao Lin, have you seen Wang Qiang?"

"No."

"Why did this man disappear as soon as he turned his head? He didn't even receive the money!"

At this moment, Wang Qiang was walking alone on the road. He didn't know where he was going, so he just found a road at random and walked forward.

He was tired and hungry at this time. He only ate half of the lunch box before running down. With a little food in his stomach, he became even hungrier.

He was walking in an alley. It was cooking time. The aroma of cooking came from the windows of the houses on both sides. He felt that he should do something.

An old bald white man walked from the bedroom to the living room with a book in his hand, and sat on the sofa reading. Aunt Wang was busy in the kitchen.

Noah is seventy-three years old this year. He is a priest who preaches in Hanshui City. He has been childless all his life and has dedicated everything to God. It is already his fifth year here. Aunt Wang was sent by the church to take care of his daily life, cooking, cleaning and so on.

Aunt Wang heard the commotion outside and said while cooking: "Father, have you heard that the city has been very chaotic recently, and people are committing crimes everywhere. It's really scary!"

"I heard a little bit, what happened?" Father Noah put the book on his knees and asked in a gentle voice. His Chinese was surprisingly good.

Aunt Wang then recounted the gossip she had heard, which was inevitably exaggerated by herself. It was said that several criminals ran away from the police station and could not be caught for a while, so they wandered on the street and would go again when they found an opportunity. crime!

"Really?" asked the priest.

He was willing to ask, so he encouraged Aunt Wang, and she said triumphantly: "It's true. You heard it the night before. There were sirens everywhere, and there was chaos, just to catch the escaped criminal. , I think we need to keep a close eye on the door these days! Our house is not safe at all. As long as you agree, I will go to Locksmith Li soon and ask him to install our original door lock.

I'm not talking about you, your door is too cool. Anyone can come in just by pushing the door open. This is terrible! "

After knocking, someone knocked hard on the door.

"Please come in!" the priest responded.

The door opened.

The door flew open wide, as if someone had pushed hard with determination.

A man wearing rags and looking like a homeless man came in.
