Chapter 358 The Tiger Is Here

Old Gao lit a cigarette. There were several cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table in front of him. His face was very heavy. After taking a puff, he looked at the watch on the wall, then stood up and called Hu Zi, but he still couldn't get through.

Old Gao said anxiously, "What time is it? Hu Zi hasn't come yet. Is he not coming back today? Why don't you make a phone call?"

"Who knows?" The three of us sat here, impatient to wait.

But we can't go out and look for him. Who knows if Hu Zi is here?

It was dark outside the window!

"Let's just sit here and wait. Don't keep calling him. If he comes back, he will come back. If he doesn't," I said firmly, "Let's go to the Tiger home tomorrow."

Old Gao nodded.

Lin Ya advised, "Don't worry too much. Since Hu Zi said he would be back tonight, it means that it shouldn't be a big deal. It's not here yet, maybe it's just delayed."

Lin Ya said so, but our worries did not diminish by half.

I said to Lin Ya, "I don't know if Hu Zi will come or not, girl. I'll take you home first."

It was too late!

"I haven't eaten yet, so just let me go. I was thinking of having dinner with you guys before I left." Lin Ya said.

I sighed, stood up and said, "Let's eat first, don't wait for Hu Zi."

Both nodded.

So I went to the kitchen and brought out the fried chicken. This dish was made by Shi Yuan. It was stuffy in the pot for us. I wanted to eat it with Hu Zi, but I had to eat it first.

I took out all the wine and thought about drinking with Hu Zi when he came. I don't know if I can finish it now.

I brought the big plate of chicken to the table and the three of them sat up. Old Gao brought the cup and chopsticks and opened the wine. I thought I would send lin ya back later, so I stopped drinking.

Lin Ya said, "No, I just woke up. I'm much better now."

"Don't try to be brave. You don't look well."

"When are you going to look?" Lin Ya teased.

"Do you still need to look?"

"All right, hurry up and eat. It'll be cold later." Old Gao said, "Stop it, Xing Yun. Drink whatever you want. You're sleeping in a restaurant anyway. I'll just send the girl off later. I have to go home too."

"I really don't need it. I'm really fine!" Lin Ya's eyes blinked slightly with a bright light.

"Okay, I won't drink either. I won't even drink. It's so boring to drink alone."

Since you don't drink it, don't even drink it.

However, at this moment, a car suddenly sounded outside the door. I looked towards the door, but did not expect that it was Hu Zi's car!

"Hu Zi is here." Old Gao shouted excitedly.

We put down our chopsticks and walked out the door.

At this moment, Hu Zi also came out of the car!

He looked a little tired, and his expression didn't seem too heavy. I sighed and said, "You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"All right, hurry up and come in. I just brought the food out. What a coincidence. Let's go in and talk."

Hu Zi also took a breath and replied, "I should have come a long time ago. Something came up at the last minute, and it was delayed."

"I know you're here so late, so I won't let you come back. Why are you in such a hurry? It's different to come tomorrow." All four of us entered the house.

Old Gao also asked, "What's wrong with your phone? I'm not picking it up even when I call you."

Hu Zi put his hand in his pocket, took out his cell phone, smiled bitterly and said, "I want to answer it too, but the screen is broken, so I can't move. We can only look at the time. I saw you calling me."

I saw an obvious slash in the screen of Hu Zi's phone. It was obvious that the screen had fallen in half. Lin Ya asked, "Why did you break your phone?"

"It's a long story."

"Okay, okay." Old Gao smiled and said, "I haven't seen you in two days. How much can I say? Hu Zi, do you drink?"

"Drink!" Hu Zi replied happily.

"Okay, I'll pour it for both of you."

We went to the table and sat down. Old Gao went to get a pair of chopsticks and dishes. He picked up the bottle and poured us wine.

Hu Zi glanced at Old Gao and frowned, "You're not drinking?"

"I have to send the girl away later." Old Gao smiled helplessly.

Lin Ya said, "Okay, I can go back by myself. I can really drive! You guys make it look like I'm a hindrance to your drinking. Just drink. Don't worry about me. I'll go back after I eat something."

I saw that Lin Ya was determined, and that she really had nothing to do, so I agreed, so Old Gao poured some wine for all three of us.

We took a sip and started eating.

The few of them were starving, and they were all wolfing down their food. Lin Ya, on the other hand, chewed slowly and looked very elegant.

Hu Zi asked, "Is the restaurant okay these two days?"

"It's okay. What can happen?" Old Gao asked, "What about you? Did something happen at home?"

Hu Zi's face was obviously a little unnatural. He nodded, twirled the glass with his fingers and said, "Something happened."

From Hu Zi's words, we obviously heard something strange. All three of them looked at Hu Zi. Lin Ya asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Then, Hu Zi told us about what happened after he left the restaurant.

Earlier, Hu Zi received a call from his mother telling him that his father had been called.

When we heard this, we understood why Hu Zi left in a hurry. I couldn't help but think that if my father had been beaten up, I would have rushed back like crazy and had to avenge my father! It's just that I can't control my emotions and get excited. It's okay for me to be bullied. If my dad is bullied, I will definitely lose my mind!

I looked at Hu Zi, and there was a tinge of malice in his expression. He was obviously very, very angry, too.

Hu Zi was also a very filial person and did not cause much trouble for his family. So when he heard about his father being beaten up, he must have been furious as well!

I didn't expect Hu Zi to bring such a heartbreaking piece of bad news. I quickly asked, "Did someone hit you? Is it serious?"

"It's okay. I'm fine, but I can't swallow it." Even so, Hu Zi was still very sad.

Then Hu Zi continued. He drove home almost at full speed and saw his parents when he got home. Only then did he know that his father had been beaten up two days ago. Hu Zi's eyes were even redder when he heard the news. He took a knife out of the kitchen and asked who hit his father.

Hu Zi's parents persuaded Hu Zi for a while, and then his parents told Hu Zi about it.

Hu Zi's parents were also afraid that Hu Zi was worried. They thought about it before telling Hu Zi.

The one who beat up Hu Zi's father was a boss before Hu Zi's father!

Hu Zi's father had no ability. He had been working hard on the construction site. It was not easy to earn money. It could be said that this was the real hard-earned money!

Hu Zi's father and his fellow villagers followed a contractor, and the villagers introduced him, which was already a year ago.

Hu Zi's father and his buddy worked there for three months, and they only had about ten thousand yuan each. Three months on the construction site, getting up early and getting up late, eating badly, living badly, and working hard for the contractor for three months, they agreed to pay off the work as soon as the project was over.

But when the project was over, the contractor only gave Hu Zi's father and his buddy five hundred yuan each. Besides the road fare, it was nothing. The contractor broke his promise a week later.

With the first time there was a second time, just like this, delayed again and again, and suddenly delayed for more than half a year, the two of them were really helpless, and now the contractor who called basically did not take the phone, and when the pay was not a guarantee, the two had no choice but to go to the contractor's new construction site, find the contractor to settle the wages.

At that time, both of them were very excited, and the contractor actually had them beaten up.

So the two of them wanted to report the contractor to the labor bureau, and the contractor said some good things to the two of them. After receiving the construction funds from the site, they paid off their wages. Finally, he gave each of them a thousand yuan and sent them away.

Hearing this, the story was basically over.

Hu Zi's face was grim and he kept his emotions under control. I saw his hands tremble. After that, Hu Zi took another gulp of wine.

Hu Zi said that he was so angry that his whole body was about to collapse and his face was red, but he could not immediately avenge his father. He felt a pain in his heart! At that time, he was holding his cell phone in his hand and dropped it!

That's why his phone screen was destroyed.

After I heard it, I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and said angrily, "This is too shameless. If you don't tell me you're behind on your salary, you should beat someone up. How can such a person not die?"

"That's why my father was bullied because he was good-natured and honest! That's all. When I got home, my dad said to wait. The contractor said he would pay them. I said he might not report it to the labor bureau." Hu Zi clapped his hands.

"Sue! Of course I have to sue him!"

Hu Zi sighed and said, "I already told you. But suing doesn't necessarily work. My dad and the others only have two people, and they owe less money. And you know, these small construction sites don't sign labor contracts at all. Hey, I don't know when I'll get paid."

"Then what should we do? You can't just let it go!"

Hu Zi said, "Of course not! We can only see how the labor bureau is doing first. It would be best if you could get your salary and the money that the contractor should pay. If not, I will never let my father suffer this grievance. It should be my father's money, not less! Don't take my father's salary back unless I die!"

"Yes!" Old Gao said angrily, "If not, we'll kill the contractor on the construction site and beat him up! If you don't give me money, I won't believe it. What the hell is a construction site that doesn't even pay the wages of migrant workers!"

After hearing about Hu Zi's father, we were all very angry! I clenched my fists tightly and gasped heavily. That contractor was so hateful that he was completely ungrateful!

Hu Zi added, "We're not fucking bosses like that! I, Hu Zi, will never do such a shameless thing in my life!"
