As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

He walked forward and wiped the dust off the tombstone, whispering, "Brother Qiang, I, Mo Daqiang, had no food to eat back then, and it was you who took me in and gave me a new life."

Mo Daqiang picked up the liquor in his hand again and took a big sip. His eyes became a little moist. "Actually, Brother Qiang, you don't know. At that time, I told myself that my life would belong to you from now on."

"But I didn't expect that you would leave before I've been with you for a few years."

He lowered his head and remained silent for a while, letting himself calm down, and then continued, "Before I came here, I went to look for some of my former brothers, and they said you were beaten to death by the police."

"I don't hate those policemen. They are soldiers and we are thieves. It is normal for us to shoot each other when we see each other."

"But don't worry, Brother Qiang. Your death will not be in vain. I will not let the culprit go."

"I'll come back and drink with you after I've dealt with him."

Mo Daqiang tilted his head back and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp. He stood up and left without looking back, leaving Gu Qiang's grave alone.

......

Zhao Dashan is 30 years old and is a construction worker. To put it bluntly, he is just a laborer and earns 200 yuan a day. If he lives frugally, he can save 4000 yuan a month.

While eating pickles with steamed buns, he was imagining what he would do with tens of thousands of dollars when he got paid.

Should he go back to his hometown and get married? His family is too poor and no one has ever been willing to marry him. He is already 30 and still doesn’t know what a woman is.

Whenever he had free time, he would squat outside the construction site and watch the people walking on the street, especially the women in the city, who were dressed so beautifully.

If I also have a beautiful wife, I must treat her well.

I also have a house in my hometown that I want to renovate. I heard that my family is now allocating residential land. With these tens of thousands of dollars, I can build a house. I will farm at home in the future and won’t go out. There are too many bad people in the city.

"Dashan, come quickly, something happened." A co-worker's call woke Zhao Dashan from his sweet dream.

"Oh, here it comes, here it comes." Zhao Dashan hurriedly stuffed two mouthfuls of steamed bun, wondering in his heart what had happened again.

Accidents often happen on construction sites. Last time, a worker missed a step and fell, breaking his leg. I wonder what will happen this time.

Let's jog along with the crowd, but this time everyone is running not towards the construction site, but towards the temporary office building.

This is where the supervisors and foremen stay. Normally they don't come here to work very often, but now it's crowded with people.

The office building has two floors. Now there are several people in suits and safety helmets standing on the second floor, and below are nearly two hundred workers.

Zhao Dashan found a seat and squeezed in, then looked towards the second floor with everyone else.

Standing in the middle on the second floor is Manager Zhang, the person in charge of their project. He had been here when the project started, so Zhao Dashan still remembered him.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Manager Zhang calmly lowered his hands, took out a loud speaker and said:

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."

"The reason why I called you all here today is because we are going to temporarily suspend work on this project."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a calm pool, immediately causing a lot of discussion.

"How can this be possible? Where can I find work if the work is stopped?"

"Why do we have to stop working when everything is fine? We get up early and work late every day. How can we just stop working like that? It's so unfair."

"We need to eat. How can our families get money if we stop working?"

"Why?"

Those who can come out to work all want to earn some money for their families. Now that they are told to stop working, of course the people below are unwilling to do so.

The voices of doubt grew louder and louder, with more and more people shouting at the top: "Why, you can't be so irresponsible."

Manager Zhang didn't panic at all as the people below shouted louder and louder. He skillfully picked up the megaphone and continued, "Our project was owned by Qiangteng Group, but Qiangteng Group went bankrupt, and the government hasn't found anyone to take over, so we can only temporarily suspend construction. This is a decision from above."

"Qiang Teng Group went bankrupt?"

"No way! Isn't it said that Qiangteng Group is the largest company in Yuezhou? How can it go bankrupt just like that?"

"Are you stupid? You don't even check your phone. Wasn't it revealed a few days ago that the Qiangteng Group was involved in organized crime and had guns?" A worker who was more informed whispered.

"His involvement in organized crime has nothing to do with us. We want our wages."

"That's right, we want wages."

After understanding the situation, the workers began to change their demands. Since the business had gone bankrupt, the first priority was to get their money.

"Wages!"

"Wages!"

More than a hundred people started shouting below, and the sound waves swept directly towards Manager Zhang above. Some of the timid ones standing there were so scared that their faces turned pale.

Once the workers start to make trouble, it is no small matter. If they have money, they are workers, but if they don’t have money, they will beat people up.

But Manager Zhang was clearly prepared. He picked up the megaphone and shouted again, "We have money, don't worry."

"It's just that the money is not enough, so we can only give you 30%. For the remaining 70%, we will give you an IOU. When the government finds someone to take over, you can use the IOU to cash it in."

30%?

After working hard for a year, you only get 30%. No one would agree to let you go.

There was another uproar below.

"You officials are just liars. IOUs? Where are we going to find people then?"

"That's right, this is Bai Tiao."

"This is what we earned through hard work. Why are you deducting it from us?"

"I'm sure you won't eat it all. Return our hard-earned money!"

"Repay us our hard-earned money!"

The sound waves gathered again, and the thunderous roar resounded throughout the entire workers' and peasants' land again, and even the temporary office building seemed to be shaking.

One by one, the workers raised their hands and shouted angrily, and strong arms were raised in the air, among which was Zhao Dashan's hand. He was very panicked. How could they deduct my money? I have to go back to build a house and get married.

Seeing the crowd below becoming more and more excited, Manager Zhang's face changed a little. He thought the crowd would be noisy, but he didn't expect that the sound of more than a hundred people shouting together would be so loud.

He hurriedly winked at the few people standing in the front. These people were small foremen. To put it bluntly, this project was subcontracted out to a dozen small foremen under the big foreman.

The foremen immediately understood and turned to the workers behind them and shouted, "What are you shouting for? Stop it! Stop it!"

After some preparation, the noise was instantly suppressed.
