Chapter 191 Year
Su He went straight into the crew's room, but Dahong and his companions became restrained and didn't know what to do with their hands and feet.
After all, Boss Feng is the leader, so he will be in a good mood and tell Su He about his doubts.
Su He nodded as he listened, playing out the story in his mind.
"That is to say, Manager Wang and Lao Dao have known each other for a long time. Lao Dao should have had a plan a year ago, and Xiao An and Xiao Sheng were the helpers he found. But you have no evidence, so all this can only be regarded as speculation."
"So you want my help?"
Everyone in the room nodded obediently, and Su He wanted to laugh when he saw it.
"I can't guarantee that I can help you. If you are still willing to trust me, then answer a few questions for me."
Boss Feng pursed his lips and responded on behalf of everyone else.
"Miss Lotus, just ask us and we will tell you everything we know."
"The first is about the key. Has this key not been changed in recent years? In other words, this old knife, or the person behind the scenes, has the opportunity to steal it and make a copy. Besides, the family on the third floor also has the key to the warehouse. If they have a thief, they can also prepare a new key in advance. If there is a chance to make a copy, then Xu Wansheng's claim that he did not lose his key during the day cannot be used as a basis for him to say that he is a victim. Do you understand?"
Su He looked at everyone's confused faces and changed his meaning to be more straightforward, "There is a chance that a copy of the key can be made outside. Xu Wansheng's claim that his warehouse key was not lost does not prove anything. It can neither prove that he is innocent nor that Lao Dao's key was taken from you."
Dahong stood up excitedly and said, "Speak softly."
Su He pointed upstairs, reminding everyone that walls have ears.
"The key has never been changed. I have been using this key for the five years I have been here. And this key was given to Xu Wansheng when the ship set sail. We stopped twice in the middle, so he could have copied it if he wanted."
Dahong said in a low voice with red eyes.
Su He smiled and nodded, there are loopholes everywhere.
"Okay, then the key cannot be used as evidence of your crew's dereliction of duty."
"Second question, I heard you say before that you asked them to make a list before the goods entered the warehouse, but they didn't want to. Is this true?"
When Su He mentioned them, he pointed upstairs and Boss Feng nodded.
"That's right. We don't care about ordinary luggage, but they clearly have valuables. Our shipping company has regulations that all of them must be registered, but Mr. Xu refused. I asked him personally at the time. I think Mr. Xu didn't want others to know what he transported."
Su He smiled. This bastard must have some secret. It was a pity that it was not convenient for her to enter the space now, otherwise she could take a look.
"That is to say, as crew members, you followed the rules and diligently reminded them, but they refused to listen and were unwilling to register. As a result, after the goods were stolen, the two parties had a disagreement on the value of the goods. You thought it was not as much as 100,000 taels, but they said it was more than 100,000 taels."
Boss Feng nodded excitedly, as if what Lotus said was in their favor.
"Yes, that's what you said. I advised him twice, but he was still impatient and told me to mind my own business and not meddle in other people's business."
Boss Feng got angry whenever he thought about it. These people looked down on them, who were making a living on the boat, and didn't even look at them.
"Well, you cared about them and asked them to register their property to protect it, but they blamed you for meddling in their affairs. Now that something has happened, they open their mouths and say that they lost hundreds of thousands of taels, and they want us, who work hard to barely have enough to eat, to pay for it."
Su He's words made the crew members present tear up. They had a hard life. Even Wang Bin, who was guarding the door, felt a little sad. Why was life so difficult for ordinary people?
"You all have families, so please tell us about your family situation."
Boss Feng wiped his tears. Although he didn't know why Su He asked them to report the situation at home, he cooperated and gave the first answer.
"I have two sons and one daughter, five grandsons and two granddaughters. My wife is sick, and my two sons are also drifting on the boat. The money earned by the three of us is enough to feed a family of 11."
"My home..."
"..."
Su He carefully memorized three of them and then asked them to stop.
"The third question is, how much do you get paid a month?"
"The eldest brother gets three taels a month. Three of them get one tael. They've only been here for a year. The rest get between one tael and five cents and two taels."
Su He nodded, "There are 15 of you in total. Even if each of you gets 2 taels of silver a month, you will have to work for 278 years without eating or drinking to pay off the 10 taels of silver."
"Two, two hundred and seventy-eight years?"
Da Hong blankly repeats Su He's words, "Can we live that long?"
Boss Feng pursed his lips, his eyes full of despair and numbness, "Dahong, you are stupid, people like us won't even live to be 50 years old. The doctor at the clinic said that we have been floating on the river for many years, and everyone has rheumatism, so we won't live long."
I don't know who started crying first in the room, and then there were more suppressed sobbing sounds.
"It's not enough that you have paid it back. Will your descendants have to pay it back? Will they bear the debt for generations to come?"
Xiao Zhuang spat on the ground in hatred, "Fuck it, I'm going to fight them, and we'll all die together. I won't live long anyway, so I'd better die early and not bring trouble to my family."
After Xiaozhuang finished speaking, he wanted to rush out. It looked like he wanted to go upstairs to find Xu Wansheng.
The people around him quickly stopped them, and Su He sighed, "Don't worry, I have a way, and everyone will be fine."
Xiaozhuang turned around in surprise, with a fiery light in his eyes. He knelt on the ground and said, "Miss Lotus, please save us."
Su He hurriedly persuaded him to get up. Wang Bin was also startled and helped He Hua pull him up.
"If you want to live, just listen to me."
The people in the room gathered together and listened quietly to Su He's arrangements.
The day of docking soon arrived. Xu Wansheng and his family and relatives were already standing on the deck early. From their looks, one could tell that they were going to report to the police.
Su He and the men in the family also went out to stand. Originally, there were two groups of people on the left and right side of the cabin. When the crew went ashore to secure the boat, Xu Wansheng was about to step forward. The little grandfather squeezed forward, screamed on the spot, and held Xu Wansheng's waist and refused to let go.
"You knocked me down, pay for my medical expenses!"
Xu Wansheng was already upset because he had lost his family fortune, but now he was blackmailed in such a stupid way that he burst into laughter.
Looking closely, these are the people on the first floor.
"Are you crazy because of poverty? You are a bunch of beggars, let my father go!"
Xu Lian'er was right behind her father and saw with her own eyes that the little old man came up to her father and hugged him and wouldn't let go. This old man was just blackmailing her.
Wang Jingui shouted angrily, "You think you are so rich that you can bully others. We are peasants, not beggars!"
Wang Fugui and others behind him all surrounded them, and the bow of the boat suddenly became chaotic. No one saw that someone had sneaked away.
By the time the chaos was brought under control by patrolling detectives, half an hour had passed.
The little grandfather’s acting skills exploded, and he lay on the bow of the boat and couldn’t get up.
"Oh my God, is there still law? The landlords are bullying us peasants, and we are just fighting back normally but they say we are rebelling. We can't live like this anymore. My waist hurts, I feel dizzy, please find a doctor to save me, wuwuwuwu."
Xu Wansheng felt that all the blood in his body was concentrated in his brain. He was sure that the old man was fine, and he was the one in trouble. He felt that he was about to explode with anger.
"Call the police! I want to call the police! Arrest all these people."
"Oh my, you are so arrogant. I don't know who gave you the confidence. I know it must be the son-in-law of the fifth son of the third branch of the Chen family you mentioned. I heard that the third branch of the Chen family has great influence in Guangyuan. Dad, let's run quickly. If we don't run now, it will be too late. We will all go to jail."
Wang Jingui hugged his father on the ground and cried bitterly, wiping his tears as he spoke, "Dad, I am an unfilial son and cannot redress your grievances. I am also a father, and the roots of our family cannot be severed. Liangzi, run away! Leave us alone!"
Wang Liang knelt on the ground with a thud, "Dad, I won't leave! If we die, we will die together."
The three of them started to pull each other to the limit, and finally cried bitterly with their heads in their hands.
Su He's mouth twitched when she saw this from behind. Originally, she just wanted her family to find an opportunity to get involved with Xu Wansheng's people to buy some time for Xiaozhuang.
As a result, when the grandfather heard Su He's plan, he immediately volunteered to come. Su He was a little worried, but the grandfather actually persuaded his brother, who was Su He's grandfather. Su He had no choice but to agree.
Su He felt that her grandfather's acting was quite exaggerated, at least that's what she thought. But when she looked up, she found that several people on the shore were crying.
Su He: ???
Su He felt that he could consider telling stories or writing a few storybooks in the future, which would definitely be best-sellers in Guangyuan.
