It’s a hot day in May, and the sun is shining brightly.
Qingzhou City, Wanfu Stone Field.
"Jiang Cheng, if you don't move all the more than one hundred rough stones to the warehouse today and knock off one piece, I will blind your other eye too!"
"And you, if anyone dares to help Jiang Cheng, you will lose this month's salary!"
Zheng Wanfu spat and glared viciously at a circle of onlookers. The fat on his face was twisted and ferocious, and he cursed and entered the rough stone warehouse.
Jiang Cheng touched the sweat-soaked medical gauze on his right eye, then looked at the boss Zheng Wanfu who was walking away angrily, and gritted his teeth!
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he lowered his head and squatted down. He silently picked up a piece of raw stone weighing more than 30 kilograms and limped toward the warehouse.
"These are more than a hundred pieces of raw stone, ranging from a dozen kilograms to a large one, fifty or sixty kilograms. The sun is so poisonous at noon. If it weren't for Jiang Cheng, we would be the ones who are exhausted, hahaha..."
"Hahaha, the boss is too cruel. How about we get him a trolley?"
"Are you so smart? Can't you see that the boss is deliberately trying to punish him? I advise you to mind your own business..."
"Oh! Don't tell me, Jiang Cheng is really unlucky. He got into a car accident. Not only did the pickup truck he just bought crashed, he was also blinded by broken glass in one eye. He also has a younger sister at home who is in school. I heard that The college entrance examination is coming soon, if I lose my job, how will I live in the future?"
"Hmph! He deserves to be blind in one eye! His car drove and broke the guardrail, and the car overturned. The boss's dozen or so rough stones were shattered into pieces. The boss just told him to get out. It would be nice to let him compensate. A blind loser has the nerve to stay here and not leave. I have never seen such a thick-skinned person!"
"But aren't those dozen rough stones worthless scraps? And they're all bargains priced at a thousand yuan each. Jiang Cheng is blind in one eye, so he can't just write them off in one go?"
"What happened to the scrap? Wasn't it bought with money? Wasn't more than 10,000 yuan money?"
…
After Zheng Wanfu left, several workers in the quarry squatted in the shade, eating ice cream, fanning themselves, and leisurely looking at Jiang Cheng, who was sweating profusely.
Pointing, talking and laughing.
It’s like watching a clown show!
Listening to the gloating taunts of several workers, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart!
They are all the same people at the bottom of society who grit their teeth and persevere for a few taels of silver.
Why do you have to act like a "high-ranking person" when others are in poverty, pretending to express a few words of pity and gloating?
Is this the only way to show off the slightest sense of superiority?
They are all people with their backs to the sky and their backs to the earth, relying on their hands to eat. Who is nobler than the other...
Jiang Cheng's eyes burned as he recalled that night three days ago.
Three nights ago, he drove a pickup truck, loaded with more than a dozen pieces of raw jadeite, from Ruili to Qingzhou City.
Who would have thought that just as the car entered the Qingzhou Expressway, a woman in a red dress suddenly jumped out in front of the car!
It looked like it was popping out of the ground, which really startled him!
Everything happened so suddenly!
The car was traveling too fast and it was too late to apply the brakes. Jiang Cheng subconsciously swerved and the car slid straight into the guardrail.
With a loud "bang" sound.
The car overturned and fragments of the car glass scratched his right eye.
While he was drowsy, he vaguely saw a young woman in a red dress pulling him out of the car.
Then, someone stuffed something into his mouth. After that, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he was already in the hospital!
The boss Zheng Wanfu stood in front of the hospital bed and glared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to eat someone!
Then he realized that the car had overturned and the entire load of raw stones was destroyed.
Although his body was not seriously injured, his right eye was scratched by broken glass and he was blind.
The pickup truck he saved up to buy was also damaged.
The material was ruined, Zheng Wanfu told him not to go back, he was fired!
Jiang Cheng was hit hard by the mountain of blows one after another, and he couldn't breathe.
For a moment, Jiang Cheng felt that the whole sky had collapsed!
He is an orphan who was adopted by the Jiang family since he was a child. He also has an unrelated sister.
When Jiang Cheng was in his senior year of high school, his adoptive father had a car accident and was not saved!
The adoptive mother was depressed and died of illness not long after!
At that time, Jiang Cheng was preparing for the college entrance examination, and his family suffered huge changes. He had to make a living and take care of his sister.
He decided to drop out of school and became a worker at the Wanfu Stone Factory in Qingzhou City!
After that, I saved some money, got my driver's license, and bought a second-hand pickup truck, which I dedicated to picking up and delivering raw stones to the quarry.
This lasted more than four years.
Life was going to be better and better, but who would have thought that in a car accident, his pickup truck was damaged, a truck of raw stones was also destroyed, he was blind in one eye, became a useless person, and was kicked out by his boss!
My sister Jiang Ling will take the college entrance examination in one month. At this juncture, if he loses his job and his income, what will his sister do in the future?
It doesn't matter how much he suffers, he will never let his sister make the same mistakes as him, and he will never let his sister give up her studies because of lack of money.
After lying in the hospital for two days, despite the doctor's dissuasion, Jiang Cheng resolutely returned to Wanfu Stone Cutting Field.
He wanted to plead with his boss Zheng Wanfu not to fire him, he couldn't live without this job.
What he wants to prove even more is that even if he is blind in one eye, he is not a cripple and he can still make money with both hands!
Zheng Wanfu promised that as long as he moved the more than one hundred rough stones by himself, their account would be wiped off and he could go back to work.
Jiang Cheng agreed without hesitation.
This is the beginning of the scene.
Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, sweat dripping down his face. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his hands and feet were sore and trembling, but he didn't care!
He couldn't live without this job.
He wants to stay!
He is not a useless person!
A few hours later, until the last rough stone was safely placed on the warehouse shelf, Jiang Cheng could no longer hold on, his vision went dark, and he fainted.
When he woke up again, he found that he was back in the hospital again, with a young man in his 20s standing next to him.
It was his good brother Qin Xiaoshu.
Just as he was about to say something, the door to the ward was pushed open hard.
Zheng Wanfu walked in neatly dressed with a black leather bag and a big gold chain!
"Yo! Okay! He's still alive!" Zheng Wanfu had a hint of mockery in his eyes.
After saying that, he took out two red bills from his wallet and threw them in Jiang Cheng's face like trash.
He sneered and said, "Jiang Cheng, don't say I'm unjust. Just keep these two hundred yuan. If you ruined one of my materials, your account will be wiped off. You don't have to pay me back!"
Jiang Cheng became anxious when he heard this!
"Boss Zheng, didn't we agree? After I move the hundred stones, you will let me go back to work. How can you keep your word?"
Zheng Wanfu picked his ears and smiled playfully: "Did I say this?"
"You! You're playing tricks on me!"
Only then did Jiang Cheng realize that Zheng Wanfu was just teasing him by agreeing to let him go back to work!
Jiang Cheng clenched his fists tightly, his whole body shaking slightly with anger.
"Chengzi, why are you so stupid? This bastard is just playing tricks on you!" Qin Xiaoshu glared at Zheng Wanfu fiercely.
"You moved more than a hundred rocks and you were so tired that you fainted. When I arrived, he threw you to the ground and ignored you. If I hadn't called an ambulance, you wouldn't know what would have happened! "
After hearing this, the anger in Jiang Cheng's heart surged like an ocean!
He worked hard to move more than 100 stones alone, and he was exhausted and exhausted. No matter how painful it was, he gritted his teeth and persisted. He just didn't want to lose his job.
Just for Zheng Wanfu's promise.
I just want to prove that even if I am blind in one eye, I am not a cripple!
But even this simple expectation was ruthlessly trampled and played on by the boss Zheng Wanfu.
He couldn't wait to pick up the fruit knife on the table and give that bastard Zheng Wanfu a knife.
But when he thought of his sister Jiang Ling, he couldn't help himself!
I can just have fun and trade with Zheng Wanfu, but what about my sister Jiang Ling?
Her parents passed away one after another, and she was left with her only relative. How could he bear to let his sister live alone in this world!
It's okay if Qin Xiaoshu doesn't say anything.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zheng Wanfu's whole face suddenly darkened, and he roared: "Ha! How dare you have the nerve to say that he, a bastard, crashed all my truck of raw stone materials, and they were all broken into pieces. With a loss of hundreds of thousands, it would be nice if I didn’t kill him, and I still want to go back to work, bah! That’s a good idea!”
"Hundreds of thousands?" Qin Xiaoshu became angry when he heard this, "Zheng Wanfu, don't think I don't know. You only paid 1,000 dragon coins for each of your ten pieces of materials, and you don't even need to untie them even if they are broken. All laymen know it." It’s all scraps! Jiang Cheng got into a car accident while delivering materials for you. This is a work-related injury. Could it be that Jiang Cheng’s eye is worth more than a dozen pieces of scraps? Do you have any conscience? "
Zheng Wanfu teased: "What? Didn't I buy the scraps with my money? If those materials hadn't cracked, I could still have defrauded others of hundreds of thousands. I've already done my best by not letting him, a bastard, pay compensation. Why do you still want to go back to work? Uh-huh." !
And have I signed a labor contract with him? What does it matter to me if he is blind? He is already a useless person, why should I take him in? Do you think that my Wanfu Jie Stone Factory is a garbage collection station? What kind of waste do you want? "
Qin Xiaoshu gritted his back molars, cracking his knuckles, and cursed angrily: "You bastard, Jiang Cheng is your worker, and if you get into a car accident and you just leave everything behind, are you still a human being? "
Zheng Wanfu smiled coldly: "Whether I am a human being or not is none of your business, Jiang Cheng. From now on, you have nothing to do with my Wanfu Jieshi Site. If you dare to come to my site again to make trouble, I will blind you." One eye!”
After saying that, Zheng Wanfu walked out without looking back.
"Damn it! I'll kill him!"
Qin Xiaoshu grabbed the fruit knife on the table, rolled up his sleeves and was about to chase him out.
Jiang Cheng hurriedly grabbed Qin Xiaoshu and said, "Forget it, Xiaoshu, such a person is not worth including you in!"
Thinking that a dozen pieces of worthless raw stone waste were worth one of his eyes, Jiang Cheng felt that his whole heart was bleeding.
If possible, he would rather lose hundreds of thousands than become a blind man.
Qin Xiaoshu sighed, was silent for a long time, and finally squeezed out a smile and said: "Chengzi, don't worry, rest in peace and recover, maybe your eyes will be fine! If your eyes don't get better and you can't find a job, I will support you!"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes turned red, and he hugged Qin Xiaoshu tightly.
After sending Qin Xiaoshu away, Jiang Cheng lay on the hospital bed, unable to sleep.
Zheng Wanfu's words of "trash" pierced Jiang Cheng's heart so hard that it dripped with blood.
Will his right eye be blind from now on?
My heart is full of bitterness...
He doesn't understand why God has to single out poor people to bully!
Later in the night, in a daze, Jiang Cheng's right eye suddenly felt a severe itching.
He suddenly woke up.
"Doctor, doctor, my eyes are itchy!"
The little nurse quickly called the doctor on duty.
When the doctor arrived, he asked about the situation, then removed the gauze on his right eye and examined Jiang Cheng carefully.
But when the last piece of gauze was removed, Jiang Cheng discovered that the scratching and itching feeling in his right eye suddenly disappeared.
He subconsciously opened his right eye, and the image of a middle-aged male doctor in a white coat instantly appeared in his right eye.
"This is……"
Jiang Cheng was surprised to find that his right eye had recovered!
He can see!
He held the male doctor's hand with excitement and almost cried with excitement!
His eyes are healed, he is no longer blind, he is no longer a cripple!
However, Jiang Cheng hadn't been happy for long when he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his eyes.
He saw a bunch of weird numbers appearing on the objects around him...
