Chapter 511: Being poor is more terrible than going to jail!
The first day after Labor Day.
work!!!
Jia Dongxu, who hadn't slept all night, went to work in a daze.
"Hey, look, what is Jia Dongxu doing? Is he following Yi Zhonghai?"
"Hey, that's true. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have forgotten how long it has been since Jia Dongxu was with Yi Zhonghai. I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Well, I haven't seen them together for at least ten days or half a month. How come they are together now?"
"What's there to not understand? Jia Dongxu owes money. He owes Yi Zhonghai 100 yuan. People say that those who owe money are grandsons. Isn't Jia Dongxu Yi Zhonghai's grandson?"
"Hahaha, that's true. If you owe money, you are a grandson. Isn't Jia Dongxu that grandson? It's normal, haha."
People around were pointing fingers at Jia Dongxu. Yi Zhonghai listened with a barely perceptible smile, and walked forward with his head held high, without refuting anyone's words.
However, Jia Dongxu, who was at the center of this incident, was completely unaware of everyone's whispering and was even too lazy to listen.
"Ah~ I'm so sleepy. I haven't slept all night."
Jia Dongxu even had time to yawn and smack his lips. He was still thinking about something, and he walked forward along the group like a zombie.
"I should find a way to make some money. This little monthly salary is not enough. I can't make it by gambling. I have to think of a way to make money. Otherwise, there will be constant quarrels at home. How can I make money?"
Jia Dongxu didn't sleep all night, just thinking of ways to make money.
There is no savings in the family, and Jia Zhang's pension money is gone. Now she is clamoring to get her pension money back.
Fortunately, my face is still swollen. It hurts when I talk too much, so the house can be quiet from time to time. Otherwise, it would be very noisy.
In addition, I still owe Yi Zhonghai a hundred yuan, and I have to find a way to pay it back.
"I'm so annoyed. Why are there so many mouths to feed at home? I'm the only one with a fixed salary. How can I make money?"
There was now another big mouth to feed in the family, Jia Zhang, but the key was that he was the only one in the family who had a ration, while no one else had one, so they had to buy extra food for several people.
I have no savings, but I have to spend a lot of money to buy it. What a waste of money! My whole family will starve to death.
"Alas, why is the salary so low? Why can't it be a little more?"
Jia Dongxu felt a headache when he thought about his monthly salary of only 37 yuan and having to spend so much money.
Fortunately, there is still food stored at home, so we don’t have to worry for the time being. However, the food is not much, and what should I do when I run out of food?
"We still have to find a way to make money to buy food, otherwise the whole family will starve to death."
For a moment, Jia Dongxu regretted marrying Qin Huairu.
If he had not married a rural woman like her, but a city woman, then both of his children would have city household registration and rations, and he wouldn't have to spend a lot of money to buy food.
The burden will be much lighter and you won’t have to work so hard.
Come to the workshop and go to your workstation.
"Oh~" Jia Dongxu sighed again and continued to work on the workpiece listlessly.
He walked and stopped, walked and stopped, and sighed from time to time.
The workers on the side tolerated it again and again, but finally couldn't help but explode.
"Jia Dongxu, are you fucking sick? You sigh as soon as you come to the workshop. Are you annoying? If you don't want to work, go home and don't bother us here."
"You are crazy. You are not working but just whining here. You are saying you are not annoying. We are all annoyed. If you don't want to work, just leave."
"That's right, Jia Dongxu, if you still want to take a vacation, go home and take a vacation."
The verbal output of several people attracted everyone's attention.
But it just made Jia Dongxu sigh. He was too lazy to refute and just mechanically worked on the work at hand.
Seeing that Jia Dongxu stopped sighing, the worker next to him didn't know what to say.
"Ah~"
"Jia Dongxu, you are fucking sick!"
Jia Dongxu didn't even raise his eyelids and just worked on the work, which made his co-workers very angry.
"Okay, okay, don't bother with him. He can do whatever he wants. It's none of our business." The other workers immediately stopped him.
After only making a few workpieces, Jia Dongxu became upset, threw down the workpieces, walked out of the workshop and went out to smoke a cigarette.
"Hey, how can I make money?"
Jia Dongxu leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky. The gray weather seemed to foreshadow his mood.
"I really envy Cui Yuan. He has a master to help him and can earn extra money. Unlike me, I have a master but it's like I don't have one. He can't help me at all."
Jia Dongxu couldn't help but envy Cui Yuan. Every time he saw him repairing machines to make extra money, he looked indifferent on the surface, but he was extremely envious in his heart.
Unfortunately, I have no skills, no one to help me introduce myself, and no master to back me up. I want to make extra money with my skills, but I think it's a no-brainer.
Otherwise, you might not only fail to make money but also damage other people's things and have to pay compensation.
Suddenly a voice came: "Come here and take the workpiece away quickly."
Jia Dongxu turned around and saw several apprentices leaving with a basket full of discarded workpieces and heading straight for the smelting workshop.
Suddenly, Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up, "Isn't there a ready-made solution?"
Jia Dongxu recalled his previous business of reselling steel, in which he made a lot of money.
He contributed some of Jia Zhang's pension money.
Looking back on the time when I was reselling steel, I had money and could eat whatever I wanted, buy whatever I wanted, and even gamble when I felt like it. Life was so enjoyable.
As he thought about it, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but smile back, but suddenly he thought of something.
"I wonder how the three of them are doing now? Where are they?"
Jia Dongxu thought of Huang Lihu and the other two. He had worked with them for a while, but later they went their own way and didn't let him do it.
Then I heard the news that the three of them were arrested and sentenced to prison. "I don't know which prison they are in now."
"I don't want to go to jail. I haven't had enough of the good life."
Jia Dongxu shook his head, threw away this unrealistic idea, and thought of other ways.
But after scratching my head for a long time, I still couldn't think of any good solution.
"Is this really the only way? But if you get caught, you'll have to go to jail."
Jia Dongxu was unwilling to do so, so he decided to go to jail for reselling steel, which was not a worthwhile deal.
But he racked his brains and still couldn't think of any better solution.
"This is the only way. Is there any better way than this? Isn't it just reselling steel? Isn't it just going to jail?"
"As long as you're careful and don't get caught, you'll be fine."
"Compared to not having money, this little thing is not important at all."
In the end, greed and desire prevailed. Compared to going to jail, being penniless is the worst.
Besides, it’s been so long, no one should be paying attention to it. As long as you are careful and resell it a little bit, it will be fine.
"The three of them must have resold too much, so the police caught me. Unlike me, I only sold a little, so they definitely wouldn't find me."
"The three of them were arrested, but I wasn't. It must be their problem, not mine."
Jia Dongxu was able to escape danger thanks to the fact that Huang Lihu and the other two did not push him out. At that time, the three of them did not think of exposing Jia Dongxu.
After all, all three of them kicked Jia Dongxu out. It can only be said that Jia Dongxu was favored by the goddess of luck this time.
"I can just go somewhere else to deal with the steel and it will be fine. Right! That's right! I won't be discovered if I go somewhere else."
"Yes, that's right, that's it!"
After thinking things through, Jia Dongxu instantly became full of energy and enthusiasm, and suddenly had hope for the future.
He stopped smoking, got up immediately, and went back to the workshop to work. This time, Jia Dongxu worked very hard and completed the task with full concentration.
You can only do your own work after finishing the workpiece. Otherwise, you have to work overtime and be criticized by Guo Dapiaozi. It's so annoying.
For once, Jia Dongxu finished his work before noon.
"I'm going to the toilet." He said to the worker next to him and left quickly.
"Hurry up and find a good place to do it."
Jia Dongxu worked so fast just to find a good place to trade steel.
"Which place is good?" Jia Dongxu walked around and unknowingly visited several hidden places in the steel rolling mill.
But none of these locations are ideal. Either they are not covered and can be easily discovered by security guards, or they are too close to the roadside and can be easily stolen by others.
Jia Dongxu is not afraid of taking a long detour, but he is afraid that it will be a waste of time.
As I was walking around, I returned to the public toilet, the last toilet where the steel was previously hidden.
This is the grove closest to the outside and is the best hiding place.
"I wonder if this place will work? If we try it, we should see first."
Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu closed the toilet door and started knocking on the ground to check the condition of the ground.
"Bang bang~" Jia Dongxu tapped and checked intently.
Unaware of this, several security guards were walking towards the restroom, about to use it.
As soon as I arrived, I heard some knocking noises, which were very different from the others.
"Shh!" Several people frowned.
I quietly walked to the last toilet door and knocked.
"Dong Dong~"
The sudden knock on the door scared Jia Dongxu so much that he shivered and almost couldn't hold his urine.
"Comrade, comrade, what's going on in there?"
"It's okay."
"Are you really okay? What was that knocking sound just now?"
"No, maybe you heard it wrong." Jia Dongxu responded, and he worked quickly to pick up the dirt.
"Did you hear it wrong?" Several security guards looked at each other. One might have heard it wrong, but two or three would not.
"Comrade, please open the door."
"Okay, wait a moment." Jia Dongxu's mind raced, trying to figure out a way to fool them. "What should I do? What should I do? It would be terrible if we were discovered."
Jia Dongxu's mind raced, he looked down at his trouser waist, "This is the only way."
With a cruel heart, Jia Dongxu did something unspeakable.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
"Comrade, are you okay?"
"OK OK."
Jia Dongxu immediately opened the door, intentionally or unintentionally covering a certain part, and patting and tapping, as if he could avoid being noticed by them.
As expected, Jia Dongxu's deliberate action still attracted the attention of the security guard.
They saw that there was a patch of unique color on Jia Dongxu's crotch.
"Tsk~" A security guard laughed out loud for a moment, but then held it back.
"Tsk~" His smile broke the other people's concentration, and their faces turned red. They didn't dare to speak, for fear that they would not be able to hold back their laughter.
"Comrade, do you want to clean the toilet? Go ahead."
"No, no need." A security guard waved his hand and left quickly.
Several other security guards followed immediately.
"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter. How can a grown-up person not be able to hold his pee and pee in his pants?"
"Hahaha, don't tell me, this is the first time I've seen such a grown man pee his pants!"
"Hahaha, this is so funny. A three-year-old can hold his pee, but he, an adult, actually wet his pants. I can't take it anymore. I'm dying of laughter."
"No, we can't just know about this. I'll tell the others."
Several people left laughing, and Jia Dongxu felt relieved seeing this.
"Luckily, fortunately, I was almost discovered. Fortunately, I was quick-witted."
For a moment, Jia Dongxu felt very proud of his cleverness.
Through this embarrassing incident, he diverted the security guards' attention and avoided being discovered by them.
Listening to the ridicule of several people, Jia Dongxu didn't care at all, for the sake of money.
After some knocking and checking the ground, Jia Dongxu found out the condition of the floor of the public toilet.
After what Huang Lihu and the other two did, the walls and floor of the toilet were processed and became much stronger.
If you want to restore it to its previous state, you need to work hard, and it will take at least ten days or half a month to dig a passage.
"Alas, I can only come here a little bit at a time. It's better than other places where there is no chance at all. For the money, it's not shabby."
"It just takes some effort. Not to mention ten days or half a month, even a month is fine."
It just requires some hard work, which is no big deal compared to having no money.
Compared to making money, this little bit of hard work is nothing.
"I just don't believe it. I will dig a little bit at a time, and one day I will break through it. Then I will make a lot of money!" Jia Dongxu vowed.
Taking advantage of the lunch break after get off work, Jia Dongxu did not eat, but ran to the woods outside to see what was going on there.
"It's okay, it's okay, nothing has changed here, except that the ground has become hard. We'll find a way to dig it out and replace it with some soft soil."
The area of the grove near the toilet was also slightly modified by the steel mill, but not much.
As for cutting down the trees here, that is even more impossible. If we cut down the trees, how will Li Kailang transport the food?
After checking and confirming, Jia Dongxu returned to the steel rolling mill with satisfaction to have dinner.
If Jia Dongxu could focus on his work, he would have become a third-level fitter long ago. Why would he have to rely on "cheating" to be promoted to the second-level worker?
I almost couldn't keep my second-level job.
After thinking about what to do next, Jia Dongxu finished his meal and returned to his workstation to rest.
During the afternoon work, Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Dongxu doing nothing. He was too lazy to say anything and just passed him by. However, he noticed the pile of completed workpieces out of the corner of his eye.
"What happened to Jia Dongxu? How did he suddenly complete the task? Could this guy be up to something bad again?"
Yi Zhonghai knew Jia Dongxu's character very well and understood that there must be something going on.
"What's the matter? What does this kid want to do?" Yi Zhonghai couldn't figure out what it was for a moment.
Back at his workstation, Yi Zhonghai thought about it, but still couldn't figure out what it was specifically about, but he had an idea.
"It has something to do with money, most definitely. They owed money yesterday, and Jia Zhang came back again. It must be that the family is out of money."
"He's thinking about money again. I want to see what he wants to do."
Thinking about what Jia Dongxu was going to do, Yi Zhonghai stopped thinking about it and finished his work first.
