Father Ye would go out to do odd jobs during his spare time to earn some extra money.
He was an honest and dutiful person who only knew how to work quietly. It didn't matter if he met a good boss, but if he met a bad boss, he didn't dare to make a sound even if he was bullied.
The last time he moved bricks for the brick kiln, his back was peeling from the sun. He had originally agreed to get his salary on a daily basis, but the boss kept delaying it. After working for a whole month, Father Ye did not get a single cent.
Later, Ye Ming found a few brothers and surrounded him when the brick kiln owner appeared. Only then did he manage to get the money back.
After that, he told his father not to work there. However, he did not expect that after a period of time, Father Ye could not find any other work and returned to the brick kiln to carry bricks.
The brick kiln was the pillar industry of the town. It required a lot of labor every day. During the slack season, the villagers from the surrounding villages would come to the brick kiln to do some casual work.
Three huge chimneys were emitting white smoke. As soon as they approached the brick kiln, they could smell a pungent smell in the air. The heat wave also hit their faces. Working here was especially difficult.
Ye Ming searched for a long time before he found his father in the crowd. In just a short while, he felt uncomfortable all over and could not take it anymore.
"Dad, why are you working here again? Didn't I tell you not to come?”
"Little Ming, why are you back?" Father Ye was shocked to see Ye Ming suddenly appear and stopped the cart in his hands.
"Dad, come back with me. Don't do this.”Ye Ming went over and wanted to pull his father away.
Father Ye was a little embarrassed." Xiao Ming, go back first. I've been working for half a day. If I go back now, I'll have worked for nothing today. Go home first and wait. Oh right, what do you want to eat? Dad will bring it back for you when I go back."”
Ye Ming was touched. He looked at his tanned and skinny father and almost burst into tears. He held his father's hand and stopped him from continuing." Dad, I'll work for free. I'm rich now. I don't need this money."”
Father Ye was very happy to hear that his son was rich, but he didn't know how rich his son was. He smiled and said,"It's good that you have money. If you save your money, I can still do it now. When I can't do it in the future, I'll have to count on you.”He had no intention of leaving.
Ye Ming had a headache. This little old man was so stubborn. However, even if he had to drag his father back today, he would do it. He could not do this kind of work no matter how much money he was given.
At this moment, the supervisor Ma Jianming saw Ye Ming appear not far away. His eyes narrowed slightly and he blew out a puff of smoke. He called out to the lackey beside him," Blondie, go and tell the boss that Ye Ming is here alone. Go quickly."”
"Yes, sir!" The yellow-haired lackey jogged away after receiving the order.
Ma Jianming took a deep puff of his cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with the sole of his shoe. He walked towards Ye Ming and his son.
"Ye Dashan, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get to work. If you dawdle any longer, you won't get a single cent of your salary today!”Ma Jianming said arrogantly.
Ye Dashan was shocked by the voice and wanted to continue working, but Ye Ming grabbed his hand tightly and stopped him.
"Little Ming, make way. Dad will listen to you. After today, I will quit.”He also knew that his son had good intentions and did not blame him.
"Dad, how much is your salary per day?”
"60 yuan, what's wrong?"
Ye Ming took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand." Dad, if you don't want your salary today, then don't. I'll give it to you. Go home. Staying in this place for too long is not good for your health."”
Ye Dashan stared blankly at the tens of notes in his hand. He was surprised that his son could take out so much money so easily. He quickly stuffed the money back to Ye Ming, afraid that he would be targeted by others.
Ma Jianming's eyes lit up when he saw that Ye Ming had so much money on him. He was a little excited when he saw the boss bringing a group of people over from afar.
"Ye Dashan, if you don't work, not only will you not get paid today, you won't get paid for your previous work either!”Ma Jianming held his hands and smiled sinisterly.
Ye Dashan, who had been restless, panicked when he heard that his previous salary would be deducted. He wanted to continue working.
Ye Ming looked at Ma Jianming coldly." You don't seem to be the boss here. What right do you have to deduct my salary?”
At this moment, the owner of the brick kiln came over with a group of people. The owner was a fat middle-aged man. When he heard Ye Ming's words, he walked over with his hands on his hips and said,"His words are what I mean! Ye Ming, I didn't expect you to dare to come. I've been waiting for you for a long time.”
The last time he was surrounded by Ye Ming and his men, he was almost beaten up. He lost face and could not even lift his head in front of his friends. They said that he was a boss, but he was actually blackmailed by a poor kid.
He had been thinking about revenge, and this opportunity had finally come.
Ye Ming looked at him expressionlessly and then at the group of young people dressed in fancy clothes behind him. He already had an idea.
Most of the young people were around twenty years old. The leader was called Brother Ba. He was a well-known gangster in the vicinity. He was lazy and often led a group of people to do some shady business. Most of the time, they did it to collect debts for the boss. If they met someone easy to bully, it was not a problem to beat them up.
Ye Ming knew that those people were just working for money and were not necessarily loyal to the boss. As long as the money given to them far exceeded the boss's, they would immediately turn around.
This was the benefit of having money. The world was bustling with activity for profit. People died for money, birds died for food, and money could make the world go round.
Ye Ming suddenly laughed." Fatty Liu, I didn't expect you to hold a grudge. I just asked you to pay my dad's salary. I didn't do anything to you. If I had known earlier, I would have beaten you up."”
" Hehe, Ye Ming, I'm afraid you won't have this chance. It's useless for you to be stubborn now. Look at these people behind me. They're all my underlings. They don't have a good temper. I'll give you a chance now. Kneel down and kowtow a few times to apologize for what happened last time.”
"Your little brother?" Ye Ming almost laughed out loud.
