Jiang Yi was overjoyed. He picked up the stone and tried to surface, but found that he couldn't.
Moreover, he couldn't use his right arm, so he had to rely on his left arm.
My strength was about to run out, so I had no choice but to let go, float to the surface, take a breath, then sink again, and move the stone to the shore.
This was repeated six or seven times before the stone was moved to a shallow beach where the head could be poked out, and finally the stone was carried ashore.
As soon as Jiang Yi landed, he couldn't wait to ride his bicycle to find Li Wenyong.
Li Wenyong was startled when he saw Jiang Yi running in wet.
He knew that Jiang Yi was one of the people who framed Li Wenjun back then, so he didn't feel good about Jiang Yi when he saw him.
Jiang Yi ignored Li Wenyong's sullen expression and asked, "Mine Manager Li, are you still accepting this jade?"
Li Wenyong took a look and saw that it was a piece of fine Venus ink jade.
The more slag is used, the less it becomes. Maybe it will be used up next year.
It's good to have someone deliver it to your door now.
He took out three one-hundred-dollar bills and handed them to Jiang Yi: "Take it."
Jiang Yi was so happy that he took the money and asked: "If there is still more, do you still want it?"
Li Wenyong said: "As much as you want."
When Jiang Yi went back, he bought two kilograms of liquor and a big pig's head, and asked Jiang's mother, who had just gotten off work, to cook it for him.
Mother Jiang said: "Where did you get the money? You have to save some money. Didn't you agree to save money to repair the house at home?"
Jiang Yi said: "What's the matter with spending the money I earn on my own? I'm exhausted. I want to eat something good, but you're still nagging me. Are you looking for a fight? I'll just make money to repair the house in the future. Anyway, I can still live in it." "
Mother Jiang had no choice but to drag her exhausted body to make a pig's head for him again.
Jiang Yimi had a delicious meal and slept until midnight the next day.
When he went out to buy meat and wine, the other sand unloaders happened to come back.
"Eh? Jiang Yi, why didn't you come today?"
"It means we have to finish your work."
Jiang Yi waved his hand: "You go back and tell Li Wenjun that I quit."
When there is such a good way to make money, wouldn't you be a fool to do work like unloading sand?
He wants to save his energy to fish for jade.
He bought wine and meat and went to Tan Dailei to settle his wages.
Tan Dailei advised him: "It's better to do the job of unloading sand and learn some skills, so that you can change to something easier in the future. If you resign, it will be impossible for you to come back."
Jiang Yi: "I don't want to be angry with you anymore. Anyway, I have done the work and I will make money every day."
Tan Dailei could only call Li Wenjun and ask him what to do.
Li Wenjun said: "He is an adult, and we can't stop him from leaving. Just give him half a month's salary."
Tan Dailei hung up the phone and sighed: "Our Director Li has been extremely kind to you. If anything happens in the future, we can't blame him."
Jiang Yi was quite happy to receive a hundred yuan salary and waved his hand: "Don't worry. I don't blame him."
------
Jiang's mother was so angry that she cried when she found out that Jiang Yi had quit his job at "Wenjun Industrial", but there was nothing she could do.
Jiang Yi has been disobedient since he was a child. He always fights everywhere, and people come to complain every day.
Now I am in my thirties, I am not married yet, my hands are still disabled, I am really worried.
After Jiang Yi spent all his money, he went to fish for jade again.
This time it was more difficult than the last time because the water was much colder. But he touched one and exchanged it for 500 yuan. It was really great. It was much more comfortable than working part-time.
Li Wenyong hesitated for a long time, and finally advised Jiang Yi: "Jiang Yi, considering that we have known each other for many years, let me advise you. There is not much jade left in the river. You were lucky these two times and happened to hit it." . Next time, you may not be so lucky, and it will be very dangerous. You’d better not do it.”
Jiang Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry about mine manager Li. Anyway, I will give you the stone, and you will give me the money. Life and death are determined by fate and wealth."
-----
Today, Jiang Yi went into the water and was immediately shivering from the cold.
If the water temperature goes down like this, it's easy to get cramps.
When he came out, his mother advised him not to come today.
He felt unlucky and yelled at his mother.
In fact, he also knew the danger, but the money came quickly and was spent quickly, so there was nothing he could do.
It will get colder and colder in the future. If you don’t give it a try, you won’t have any money during the New Year.
The sand unloaders were already working. When they saw that he was going into the water again, they kindly advised him: "Jiang Yi, don't go down."
"Yes, it's better not to make this money. You have your life to make it, but you don't have your life to spend it."
If I don’t go down, will I still dig sand with you?
Do I have to beg Li Wenjun for this crappy job?
Jiang Yi ignored them and did warm-up exercises.
The man who knew Jiang Yi before said: "Your old man drank wine and went swimming in the river and drowned. It's also this season, do you want to be like him?"
This person originally thought that Jiang Yi would turn around after hearing these words, but as a result, Jiang Yi became more determined to go down.
I'm definitely better than that damn old man.
Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and thought, then jumped into the river.
In the familiar position before, almost every stone on the river bottom had been scratched by him.
Jiang Yi can only look elsewhere today.
He swam toward the middle of the river.
The water in this area is very deep.
But the deeper the place goes, the less likely it is that no one has been there, and the more big rocks there are.
He dived down and saw that the bottom of the river in front of him was dark and filled with rocks. He was so excited that he rowed over there.
He only advanced half a meter, but suddenly he felt an invisible hand dragging him toward the bottom of the river.
swirl!
If you get involved, you will die!
He struggled to go back and reach the old inner tube, but his hands couldn't use the strength, and he was sucked into the deepest part in just a moment.
There wasn't even a bubble rising from the water.
There were just water plants swirling and drifting away.
The sand unloader watched Jiang Yi go down and did not come up for a long time. He did not dare to jump directly to save people, so he hurriedly called the sand dredger to come over.
As a result, the sand dredger walked around and saw no one.
Then someone went back to call Mother Jiang, as well as Li Wenyong and Li Wenjun.
Now everyone has become accustomed to it. Anyway, the first reaction of people in the mine and nearby villages when something happens is not to call the police or an ambulance but to call Li Wenjun.
Without saying anything, Li Wenjun and Li Wenyong took people to look for him lower down the river.
Finally, Jiang Yi's body was found a few kilometers downstream.
There was a rope tied around his wrist, and at the end of the rope was a deflated inner tube.
Mother Jiang burst into tears: "I asked you to earn money to buy a better lifebuoy, but you still scolded me and just used the money to eat and drink. Aren't you looking for death?"
Li Wenjun stared at Jiang Yi, not knowing what he was thinking, then turned and left.
Everyone looked at each other.
If Jiang Yi were still an employee of Li Wenjun, regardless of whether he died during working hours or not, Li Wenjun would have given him a large pension based on his temper.
Now that Jiang Yi has resigned from his job, it seems a bit excessive to ask Li Wenjun to give him money.
-----
However, in the end, Li Wenjun gave Jiang's mother two hundred yuan as a charity.
Jiang Yi's mother had nothing to say.
Then Yang Shouzhuo and Tang Zhaonian called Li Wenjun one after another.
The questions asked are all very similar.
"died?"
"Um."
"How did you kill him?"
"Hey, he drowned himself while swimming, how can he blame me?"
