On this day, Hassan was woken up by the alarm clock on his mobile phone as usual. He got up and turned off the alarm clock. He took the clothes that Tatanda had prepared for him. After a brief wash, Hassan went to the restaurant to enjoy the meal that Tatanda had prepared for him. Prepared breakfast. As usual, every day of his life started like this. Tatanda made breakfast early and went to school. Because of his work, he often couldn't get home until midnight, so Tatanda would let him sleep a little longer during the day.
Hassan works as a policeman, but because this town is too small, he is the only policeman in the town. However, even if he is alone, it is enough to handle the affairs of the town. Hassan has been a policeman for four years, and he knows everyone in the town. Thefts that are very common outside have never happened here because it is too small, and residents usually use the most basic exchange of goods. Bartering, only in some special circumstances, they will conduct monetary transactions.
So Hassan's daily job is usually to help the residents of the town with some daily chores, such as moving things, or helping the aunt who leads the house to retrieve the cat trapped on the roof. This kind of life seems very plain and boring to outsiders, as if every day is the same and there is nothing new at all. But Hassan doesn't think so. He thinks that he is doing something very meaningful, and he is also very He likes this kind of ordinary life. For him, there is nothing happier than watching his descendants grow up little by little, and watching himself and his lover grow old little by little.
"Good morning, Hassan."
"Good morning, Kenrick, how did yesterday's work go?"
"Haha, thanks to you, I completed the work that I could complete in one day yesterday afternoon, otherwise I would have been scolded by my wife again."
"You still have the nerve to say that you always get drunk. If your wife doesn't discipline you, who will?"
"Hehe, I will definitely not...drink less in the future, I will definitely drink less."
"You, you, you..."
…………
"Hassan, it's so early. Have you eaten?"
"After eating, Ivo, what are you going to do?"
"Ah, are you talking about these things? This fish cannery sent another boat of fish yesterday, and the workers have to work overtime again today. I plan to give them some fruit to reward them."
"That's it. I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll go with you."
"That's great. I'm worried about how I'm going to move here alone."
…………
This is Hassan’s job every day. In addition to helping people in the town move things, he will also occasionally go to the only fish canning factory in the town to help. Some of the men in the town will go fishing at sea, while others are in the canning industry. Working in the factory, he is responsible for processing the caught fish into canned fish, and then transports it to the nearest city for sale by cargo ship that comes every half month. It is no exaggeration to say that this fish canned factory is the town's residents. All sources of income.
After helping Ivo deliver the things, Hassan was not in a hurry to leave. He had nothing else to do now, and the fish canned factory was short of manpower, so Hassan naturally had to stay and help.
With Hassan's help, the workers' progress has been much faster. The workload that originally took two days to complete can now be completed in more than one day. This is not because other workers are not active in their work, but mainly because of Hassan. Hassan is an enthusiastic person and is good at mobilizing the atmosphere. When the enthusiasm of the workers is mobilized, work efficiency naturally improves.
After a morning's work, Hassan did not go home. Tatanda usually stayed at school to have lunch with the students. He had to cook for himself when he got home, so it was better to stay and have lunch with the workers. After lunch, Hassan lay on the sofa and took a nap. After all, the workload in the afternoon was still quite heavy.
At this moment, on the coast on the east side of the town, a group of uninvited guests were quietly approaching.
"Boss Kenrick, we are here." A man with dark skin, lean body, and an indescribable appearance stood at the stern of a speedboat. After the speedboat stopped, the man returned to the cabin and sat in the cabin facing Da Ma Jin Dao. The man in the center said. The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed sunglasses, a cigar in his mouth, and three watches that were obviously luxury goods on his arm around the beautiful woman.
"*, it's finally here. If I hadn't lost a bit miserably two days ago, I wouldn't have come here to ruin the place!" Kenrick twirled his cigar on the table in front of him, pushed away the beautiful woman who had been leaning against him, and stood up. He went outside the cabin and said, "Majid, go find someone and ask where that kid Hassan is. My time is limited. Let's take the money and leave."
"Okay boss." The man named Majid immediately jumped out of the boat and ran towards the town. After a while, he ran back out of breath, running towards Kenrick. Shouted: "Old...boss, boss Kenrick, Hassan...that boy Hassan, he is...at the fish cannery now."
"Factory?" Kenrick stopped touching the beautiful woman next to him, showed a disgusted expression, and said: "Why is he always in that disgusting place. Gain! You take a few brothers to deal with it, you know what to do What to do. After you get the money, come to the west bar to find me."
"Yes." Standing behind Kenrick, the tall and strong man responded. He waved, and four or five people followed him, while Kenrick hugged his beautiful lady. He followed his younger brother back to the speedboat, and then headed towards the bar on the west bank of the town.
Hassan didn't know what was going to happen next. At this time, Hassan had just finished his nap and was preparing to process the remaining canned fish with the workers. At this moment, the door of the factory was violently kicked open. Then four or five big men with fierce looks rushed in and rushed straight into the workshop.
"Hassan, where is Hassan!" The strong man named Gain grabbed a worker and asked fiercely.
"Ha... Hassan is over there." The thin worker was held in Gaien's hand like a little chicken, and he pointed tremblingly at the location of Hassan. The next second he was thrown out by Gaien. , fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
At this time, Hassan heard the noise and rushed over. When he saw the menacing faces and the workers lying on the ground beside him, he immediately understood what happened. Hassan quickly ran to the worker's side. After making sure that the worker was fine, Hassan came to Gain and said, "Why are you here? It should be a week before the agreed time!"
"Boss Kenrick asked me to come, and the rest is not my responsibility." Hassan's height is similar to Situ Fengya, but when he stood with Gaien, he was actually a head shorter than Gaien. Gaien grabbed Ha Sang Sang lifted him up by his collar and said, "Where is the money?"
"The ship carrying the goods hasn't arrived yet, the goods can't be sold, and we don't have a penny." Hassan grabbed Gain's wrist and struggled desperately, but there was a big difference in size between him and Gain. No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't break free. "We agreed to come once every half month, but we definitely don't have the money to do it."
"I ask again, where is the money?" Gaine didn't listen to Hassan's words at all. Seeing that Hassan had no intention of giving any money, Gaien lifted Hassan into the air, then slammed him to the ground, and then Then he stepped on Hassan and said, "I don't care whether your goods are sold or not. You either take your money or your life."
Hearing these words, the other workers were filled with hatred. Kenrick and his gang came to harass them again and again. If Hassan hadn't sacrificed his life to negotiate with Kenrick, he promised to give him a salary every half month. The money was a lot of money, but the condition was that they could not disturb their lives in the past half month. Unexpectedly, Kenrick broke his promise this time and came to them in advance to ask for money. Naturally, other workers also knew about this matter. Although they were resentful, they could not think of a better way. After all, they also had their own families to support. If something happened, their family would be destroyed.
"We... really don't have any money..." Hassan grabbed Gain's leg and said dyingly. Gain was extremely strong. He had just struck another dead hand. This time, Hassan's ribs were probably broken several times. "Give us... give us a few more days... wait until the goods are sold... and we will make money after we sell them..."
Gain didn't listen to Hassan at all. He first stepped on it hard, and then ordered the remaining four people to teach Hassan a lesson. But how could Hassan stand up to the torture at this time? , one more beating, and Hassan would probably die on the spot.
At this moment, a fish flew out of nowhere and landed on Gain's face accurately. The next second, a strong figure appeared behind Gain, and then Gain was thrown over his shoulder by the man. He fell to the ground, and then the man grabbed Gain's arm and pushed it back hard. There was a "click" sound, and Gain's arm hung weakly to the side.
"You ****" Upon seeing this, Gain's men quickly let go of Hassan and punched the man. Unexpectedly, the man didn't dodge. He directly raised his hand and grabbed the man's arm, and then pulled the man in front of him. He kneed his opponent in the abdomen, then knocked his opponent to the ground with an elbow.
Seeing another person being released, the other three people immediately distanced themselves from that person, and it was only then that the workers saw clearly who that person was.
"Old...Old Jack? Why is it you?" What surprised everyone was that the man who knocked down two big men just now was actually the old Jack who took fishing as a hobby.
"I said next week is next week. Go back and tell Kenrick that you can ask for money. Someone will naturally send it to him next week, but this time, Hassan's medical expenses must also be counted on him." Old Jack said His face was calm, as if what he had just knocked down was not two big men, but two naughty children who had subdued him. Seeing that the three people did not move, Old Jack frowned and shouted in a low voice: "What, you can't understand people? Get out of here!"
At this time, the three people finally came to their senses, quickly picked up Gain and another person, and left the factory without looking back. Only after confirming that they left, the factory workers dared to step forward to check Hassan's injury.
