"He is the foreman of Plant 2. He knows how to work with others. Unlike that idiot Kaiden, who only knows how to find others to do his work for him, it's fine if he finds someone to do his work for him, but Tis also finds someone to do his work for him."
Lin Wenhua said very dissatisfiedly, and then he looked in the direction of Tis and Kaiden. Lin Shangzhou also looked over there. Tis and Kaiden were sitting together to eat. It should be said that there were several workers eating around Kaiden. On Huo Wen's side, there were also several workers eating around Huo Wen, but the number of workers around Huo Wen was more than that on Kaiden's side. The same phenomenon occurred on the other side, but Lin Shangzhou didn't know who was the foreman among that group of people.
(It seems that I have to pay attention to Kaiden and Tis in the future)
Lin Shangzhou thought to himself that this kind of situation also proved one thing, that there was a more obvious phenomenon of small groups among the workers. He made a note of this in his mind, but he did not forget his own job.
After lunch, workers have two leisure times a day. They get off work at 12 o'clock and return to work at 2 o'clock. After lunch, they have at least one hour of activities. The factory does not restrict going out. Occasionally, some people go out to buy a pack of cigarettes or some daily necessities.
However, most workers who are tired after working all morning will choose to take a nap in the dormitory or walk around the factory.
Lin Wenhua planned to go back to the dormitory to sleep after lunch, but Lin Shangzhou had no plans to sleep. He wanted to take a walk around the factory.
.
Chapter 41 Life in the Factory (Part )
Lin Shangzhou walked slowly from the dormitory to the toilet. Just as he was about to go in to use the toilet, he heard a noise from the other side of the toilet. He leaned over to listen to what those people were saying, but did not show his head.
On the other side of the toilet, Tis, with a ferocious expression, led two people to surround a sturdy and honest boy. He said viciously: "Where is your money from last week? Give it to me. I don't have money to buy cigarettes. If you don't want to be kicked out, give me the money."
The boy looked at the three men surrounding him with fear. He was stronger than all three of them, but at this moment he was like a little boy and dared not move.
He held Mark in his hand, looked at Tis with pleading eyes and said to him: "Brother Tis, you took my money last week. Can you please not take it this week? My family still needs it..."
Tis glared at him and said impatiently, "I don't care about your family. Hurry up and hand over the money. Maybe I can leave you a few dozen pfennigs before I get completely angry."
He held out his hand to the boy, gesturing for money.
The boy looked at the money in his hand hesitantly. Seeing that the boy was still hesitating, Tis threatened: "Why, do you want to be driven away by Kaiden?"
Hearing such a threat, the boy shook his head desperately, but he was still unwilling to give the money to Tis.
"Ok?"
Tis made a threatening sound and the boy was frightened. He was afraid that Tis would really ask Kaiden to fire him, so he slowly opened his hand. Before his palm was fully open, Tis forcibly snatched the money out.
Tis counted the money in his hand happily, then glanced at the boy and said:
"Humph, if you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you. I'm angry now and I won't leave you a penny!"
"what?"
Tears welled up in the boy's eyes. He could only try hard not to cry. He reached out his hand to grab Tis' arm and beg for mercy, but Tis slapped his hand aside.
"Cry, what's the point of crying? I told you that if you give me the money while I'm in a good mood, I'll leave you a few dozen pfennigs. Now it's your own fault. What's the point of blaming me?"
"Oh, it's embarrassing to still cry at this age, hahahaha..."
Tis laughed sarcastically, and the other two also laughed. The mocking laughter made the boy unable to suppress his aggrieved emotions, and he began to cry softly. He didn't even dare to cry loudly.
Lin Shangzhou, who was leaning against the toilet wall and listening to all this, couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to help the boy. He was disgusted by people like Tis. Although he knew that this would make his life in the factory difficult in the future, he would not continue to work. Tis's only trump card was "Do you want to be driven away by Kaiden?"
He is not here to make money, so this kind of threat is useless to him.
So Lin Shangzhou walked out and said to Tis in a stern voice: "Give him back his money!"
His voice startled Tis. After he recovered, Tis walked up to him and asked, "Who did you send it to? You asked me to return the money to him. Who do you think you are?"
After seeing Lin Shangzhou's face clearly, his expression changed. Tis pointed his index finger in front of Lin Shangzhou's eyes a few times and said, "Oh~ It's you, the new yellow monkey... Why, do you want to give me money to buy cigarettes too?"
Lin Shangzhou took a deep breath, flexed his fingers and clenched his fists. He endured Klein's insults because there was a huge gap in status between him and Klein and he couldn't afford to offend him.
And what kind of person is this Tis? How dare he insult him like this?
When Lin Shangzhou was about to swing his fist at Tis's stinky face, he heard the boy crying, which calmed him down a little. He was not afraid of Tis, but if he hit Tis, then Lin Wenhua and the boy would definitely be targeted by Tis in the future.
For their sake, Lin Shangzhou couldn't beat Tis now.
(Be patient, be patient, getting angry with this idiot will shorten your lifespan...)
Taking another deep breath, Lin Shangzhou loosened his clenched fists. He looked down at Tis and said word by word: "I repeat, give him the money back."
"Yo, that's pretty wild, do you want to be fired by Kaiden too?"
Tis didn't care about the angry Lin Shangzhou at all. He raised his eyebrows and said provocatively.
Lin Shangzhou stretched out his left hand and pressed his right shoulder. He clenched his right fist and stretched it in front of his eyes. He looked into his eyes angrily and said, "Your threats are useless to me. Do you think I can't find another job when I go out?"
Hearing Lin Shangzhou say this, Tis' pupils shrank slightly and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He didn't expect to offend a tough guy this time.
"If you don't want my fist to knock out a few of your teeth, then give him back the money you took from him."
Tis swallowed his saliva, a few beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, he still said with determination: "You are really not afraid..."
"Are you deaf? Or are you a dog that can't understand human language?"
Lin Shangzhou pressed his shoulders hard and spoke sternly.
"Gudong..."
Tis swallowed again and nodded slowly. He was scared. He didn't expect that his tried-and-tested moves would hit a wall with Lin Shangzhou. He was also very sure that if he didn't show any more fear, the sandbag-sized fist in front of him would really knock out a few of his teeth.
So he took out a handful of crumpled bills from his pocket, turned around and handed it to the boy.
The boy was still a little dazed. He didn't expect that this co-worker, whom he had never met before, would help him get back the money that Tis had stolen from him.
Seeing the boy in a daze, Lin Shangzhou said to him:
"Don't be in a daze, take it now."
Only after he reminded the boy did he take the crumpled bills from Tis's hand.
After the boy took the money, Lin Shangzhou released his left hand that was pressing on Tis's shoulder, and also loosened his right fist and put it down.
After his hand was taken away, Tis ran away without looking back as if he was avoiding the plague, and the two men followed him.
Looking at Tis running away, Lin Shangzhou snorted with disdain.
However, he also knew that his days in the factory would be difficult in the future. He didn't care how Tiskaden and other managers treated him. He was mainly worried that they would shift their target to Lin Wenhua.
(If that doesn’t work, please ask the deputy editor-in-chief to find a job for Wenhua in the newspaper)
Lin Shangzhou thought to himself that he should have a certain status in the newspaper. If that didn't work out, he would think of other ways.
Turning around and looking at the boy, Lin Shangzhou suddenly felt a little speechless and confused. How could such a strong young man be bullied by that skinny monkey-like Tis? He had no problem beating those three people alone.
"Um..thank you."
The boy said to Lin Shangzhou shyly. Lin Shangzhou waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. My name is Fritz. What's your name?"
"My name is Andy."
After learning Andy's name, Lin Shangzhou asked him in confusion:
"Then Andy, let me ask you, you are so strong, why are you bullied by that skinny guy Tis?"
Andy scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid that Kaiden will really drive me away, and my mother said that our family is poor and we can't cause trouble."
This is indeed a very reasonable reason, but he knows that Tis would never be able to convince Cayden to just drive away a worker. If Cayden really listens to Tis, he would be a fool.
Lin Shangzhou sighed and said to him:
"Ah... Andy, Tis lied to you. The factory is still recruiting people recently. How can they just kick people out?"
"what?"
Andy's eyes widened in surprise; he had never expected this.
"Also, Tis is Kaiden's henchman. How could Kaiden listen to him? Don't be afraid of him using this as an excuse to threaten you in the future."
"Well...well..."
Andy hesitated for a few seconds and nodded. As for whether he listened to Lin Shangzhou's words or not, only he knew.
Lin Shangzhou also knew this and helplessly held his forehead with his hand.
"Okay, let's go back to the dormitory."
Then the two returned to the dormitory. When they returned to the dormitory, Lin Shangzhou saw Tis talking to Kaiden with a rich expression. After seeing him, he pointed at him. However, Kaiden just glanced at Lin Shangzhou and lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. Seeing that he couldn't persuade someone who "relied on the power of others", Tis could only go back to his bed and lie down.
Lin Shangzhou came to his bed, folded his coat and put it on the pillow, then he closed his eyes and began to rest.
.
Chapter 42 Life in the Factory (Part )
After work in the afternoon, Lin Shangzhou thought that Kaiden would come to trouble him, but an afternoon passed and nothing happened. He didn't know whether Kaiden cared about Tis or didn't care about himself, but he didn't think too much about it. It was certainly a good thing that he didn't cause trouble for himself.
When he and Lin Wenhua went to get food in the evening, Tis still wanted to cut in line. Lin Shangzhou stretched out his fist and scared him, and then he was scared away, which made Lin Wenhua feel very strange.
After getting lunch and coming to the place where they sat at noon, Lin Wenhua asked him curiously: "Shang Zhou, it's only been a day, why is the monkey afraid of you?"
Lin Shangzhou chuckled and said:
"Oh, I saw him bullying Andy so I gave him a lesson. I pressed his shoulders and put my fist in front of his nose to threaten him and asked him to return Andy's money. Then he was scared like a dog. It would be strange if he wasn't afraid of me."
He remembered Tis's embarrassing look at noon. He was so arrogant one second, and the next second he was as cowardly as a dog when a fist was put in front of him.
Lin Wenhua laughed, patted Lin Shangzhou on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.
"Hahaha, awesome, awesome! Better than me, better than me. When I was in our village, I was about the same as you. I couldn't stand those bullies who took advantage of their power to bully others, but now that I'm here, I have to be a little bit cowardly."
After laughing, Lin Wenhua's expression turned serious. He whispered to Lin Shangzhou, "Shangzhou, since you've offended Tis, you should be careful that Kaiden might cause trouble for you. After all, he's the foreman and is in charge of us. Our wages have to go through him before they can be paid to us. What if he deducts your wages?"
Lin Shangzhou waved his hand to show that it was nothing, and then he said to Lin Wenhua:
"What's wrong with deducting wages? The key is, after what I did to that guy Tis, will he dare to cause trouble to me? He won't dare. If he bullies me again, I will definitely knock out a few of his teeth."
"Hahaha, that's right, you're right. I can't be a coward in the future. It's okay to have my money deducted. It's more important not to be bullied."
Lin Wenhua nodded.
Looking at Lin Wenhua who nodded, Lin Shangzhou sighed inwardly.
He can do this because he doesn't care whether he will be fired or have his wages deducted. His purpose of coming here is to investigate the living conditions of the workers. He will investigate for a few days and wait until the salary is paid to see whether the wages have been paid in full to the workers, and then he may leave.
But Lin Wenhua is different. He has to work in the factory for a long time, and it would be bad if he was targeted.
However, seeing Lin Wenhua's excited look, he gave up the idea of pouring cold water on him.
Picking up a piece of bread, he tore off a small piece and threw it into the soup. Then Lin Shangzhou heard footsteps coming towards him. He looked up and saw Andy coming over with four workers.
Among the four workers, two were thin, one was an old man in his fifties, and the other was a teenager around fifteen years old.
It is obvious that these four people including Andy are all in the vulnerable group. Andy is a coward. These four people, including two thin guys, an old man, and a child laborer, are all easy to be bullied, especially people like Tis who like to be such targets the most.
"Good evening, Andy."
Lin Wenhua greeted Andy, it seemed that he knew Andy.
Andy was too embarrassed to greet him and Lin Shangzhou, especially when he looked at Lin Shangzhou, his eyes almost glanced up to the sky, with a guilty look.
Lin Shangzhou smiled and asked:
"Andy, are these four your friends?"
"Ah... yes, they said they wanted to meet Brother Fritz, so I brought the four of them here."
(Brother…)
Andy's way of addressing himself made Lin Shangzhou laugh and cry. He was only 20 years old, but this address made him seem very old.
"Andy, you can just call me by my name. What's the big brother? I'm only 20 years old."
Andy scratched his head and smiled shyly, "I'm only sixteen, and you helped me, so of course I have to call you that."
"Ah? You're only sixteen? But you don't look like you're sixteen at all."
Lin Shangzhou was a little confused. Andy's sturdy figure and his height of 16 meters did not look like a 16-year-old at all. He had seen -year-olds with such good development, but that was in China in the st century in OTL, and this was Germany in the s. Given Andy's family situation, it was impossible for him to get enough nutrition.
Andy nodded and continued to explain:
"Yeah, I didn't know why I suddenly grew up very fast when I was 12, and I almost became what I am now when I was 13."
"Forehead…"
After listening to Andy's explanation, Lin Shangzhou thought about why Andy suddenly developed at the age of 12. This was the result of "divine inspiration", just like Cecilia, who was 13 meters tall at the age of and had breasts that were completely inconsistent with her age.
This is the only explanation for Andy's physique, and it also made Lin Shangzhou wonder, since he had received divine revelation, why was he not noticed by the German military and government?
Did I really not notice it or is there another reason?
