Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 75: The dragnet will punish you!
"Brother Shen Jin, now that you're here, they're just looking for trouble, just give them a good beating!"
Miao Shubai hurried over to report, and when he saw Shang Qian holding Shen Jin's arm, his expression looked a little unnatural. It was her!
Every night, she appeared on Shen Jin's brother's bed, on the sofa, in front of the TV, on the coffee table, by the window...
It's so abominable. If I were given a chance, I would definitely do the most vicious thing to her... instead!
snort!
Although Miao Shubai thought so in her heart, she did not show it on her face. She was no longer the girl whose emotions were written all over her face.
"Who just said that the lords will take turns to sit at his house tomorrow? Let me see, which lord will be the one to sit at his house tomorrow?" Shen Jin said jokingly.
The person who just shouted buried his head even lower. What the hell did he know, Lord? He just heard a line from Journey to the West, "The emperor takes turns to sit, next year it's my turn," and adapted it on the spot. He thought that if he didn't show his face, Shen Jin wouldn't be able to see him. Little did he know that in school, the one who lowered his head the lower, the teacher would call on him to answer the question, "You! The one who buried his head like an ostrich, you you you! You said that, right!"
After being called by Shen Jin, this person looked up with a blank face, then looked around in confusion, full of incomprehension of the world, then pointed at himself and spread his hands, "Me? I don't know, what happened ? Why did I get here? Isn't this the place where you line up to exchange for rice? Eh? Eh? Eh?"
After saying "eh" three times in a row, he scratched his head with one hand, stretched out his arm with the other hand, rolled up his sleeves, and walked out of the crowd (please refer to Mr. Shu for his movements). Everyone watched his performance: (￣△￣;)
"What a talented guy!" This man made Shen Jin laugh, so he didn't chase him.
The momentum of the others here paused again, and the old man hurriedly said, "You came at the right time! You are the manager of this base, right? Tell me why you cut off our relief porridge? I am so old, and the zombies didn't eat me, but I starved to death here with you. Can you live a peaceful life for the rest of your life? Won't you have nightmares at night? And... the officials will definitely not allow you to do this! You are breaking the law! It is against humanity! Am I right, everyone!"
"Yes! The old gentleman is right. What you are doing is neither humane nor fair. It is purely for the sake of satisfying your own selfish desires!"
"So many of us , you must give us an explanation. If you don't want relief porridge, you can give us Homeland Coins every day. 10 coins a day, and we will support your new currency!"
A group of people were filled with righteous indignation, as if what they said was the highest truth, especially the last person who spoke, as if if he did not support the Home Coin, the Home Coin could not be issued. "Ha~! Haha, is that it? You guessed it right," Shen Jin said to Shang Qian, "It's just the inevitable result. Not everyone is a smart person, and... I'm afraid that some people know the truth but are pretending to be confused," Shang Qian said, looking at some sturdy men in the crowd.
The eyes of those strong men with healthy limbs dodged. In fact, they could find a job to earn Home Coins, but the free porridge was gone, and they felt uncomfortable, so they had to come out and make trouble, hoping to get better compensation. Before the end of the world, those who made trouble would always get some extra compensation, otherwise why would there be so many nail households?
Not everyone is attached to their land or yard; they are just waiting for a good price. He will win when he drags it out until you can't stand it anymore and take the initiative to spend money to settle with him.
Moreover, these people usually don’t have any proper jobs. They just plan to get rich overnight with such an opportunity. In the end, the government can’t do anything to them, because before the end of the world is the Internet age, the government dare not demolish houses violently, and can only waste a lot of manpower to persuade them. But you have to know... you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, so you can’t persuade him. The developer has no choice but to be ripped off, because the time cost of not being ripped off is even greater!
The money loaned from the bank is still accumulating interest like crazy every month!
When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one.
Now among the more than 300 people, many have this mentality. They can also find jobs, and they know that it will not be difficult to support themselves by working in the future, but... they just follow the old man to make trouble. Anyway, the law cannot hold everyone responsible, so they might as well ask for more benefits. It is not a loss to come here, but they can make some money.
Shen Jin shook his head calmly: "Go back, the 10 coins distributed today are enough for you to eat for 20 days, and now water and electricity are still free. It's better to find a job as soon as possible. The decision of No. 1 Home will not be changed because of more than 300 of you, and... to be honest, I don't care too much about your opinions!"
Shen Jin did not use any dirty words, but the contempt in his words made everyone feel very uncomfortable. He was completely different from the officials before the end of the world.
The old man trembled his lips and said, "I am so old, I am over 60 this year, what kind of work do you want me to do? It's good enough that I can survive, you must give me the minimum living allowance!"
Xiao Wang added, "Don't change the subject. Please answer our questions directly! Who gave you the right to deprive us of our food? As the boss of Home No. 1, you should know the "Law of the End Times", right? It requires extraordinary people to do their best to help ordinary people, and Tianluodiwang has repeatedly emphasized in the broadcast that local government agencies should use local reserve grain to help survivors. Haven't you already obtained the reserve grain of Q City? That is enough food for the entire city to eat for two years. Why don't you give it to us? I just want to ask...why!"
Xiao Wang's words were powerful and drew cheers from everyone. "Well said, Xiao Wang. You are indeed a top student who has attended high school!"
"Shen Jin, answer quickly! You know that what you are doing is illegal!"
"You dare to defy the orders of the Dragnet? To put it mildly, this is breaking the law, to put it seriously, this is... treason!"
"We want food! We want to have enough to eat!"
More than 300 people were filled with righteous indignation again. Xiao Wang looked at Shen Jin proudly. He thought that Shen Jin would definitely not be able to withstand his fatal rhetoric. People in government offices have to have some dignity.
"What a pity... If I were a government official, I might have hesitated by now. What a pity... I am not. The place where you live is the territory conquered by me and my teammates. The money you use is earned by us. The relief porridge you used to eat was also stored by us bit by bit. Now you live in my place, use my water and electricity, and you still dare to ask me to provide you with food? How ridiculous!"
Shen Jin snorted coldly, "You are over 60 years old. You are the oldest in the base, right? But you are strong and you can run so far in one breath. You speak in a loud and clear voice. It seems that your body and brain are still working well. Are you the old man who danced square dance before the end of the world and trembled to give up his seat on the bus?"
"You...you!" The old man's mouth trembled with anger.
"And you, a young man with healthy hands and feet, are the one who started the commotion and said all sorts of things. Remember, the Law of the End Times never stipulates that extraordinary people must help ordinary people. Instead, it advocates helping ordinary people when one's abilities allow. And I have already provided you with job opportunities. If anyone still doesn't appreciate it..."
Everyone's faces turned ugly. Some of the speculators saw that the situation was not good and many of them had already sneaked away. They didn't want to leave without getting any benefits and be hated by Shen Jin in the end.
“Ding ding ding~ !”
Suddenly, the satellite phone on Shen Jin's waist rang, and a person on the other side laughed and said, "It must be the call from the Tianluodiwang headquarters. I just called to report him, saying that someone here is exploiting our compatriots and holding the reserve grain to let us starve to death. Now Tianluodiwang is going to sanction him. Let's see if he dares to be so arrogant!"
The people who were about to leave suddenly stopped. The old man and Xiao Wang, who had been unable to lift their heads, stood up again!
This phone call was like a little blue pill hanging around their necks!
Others started to watch the show again.
"oh?"
Shen Jin raised the corner of his mouth, answered the call and pressed the hands-free button.
Everyone fell silent all of a sudden, and only the person on the other end of the phone could be heard saying, "Leader, someone in your base has just been trying to sow discord between the local area and the Tianluodiwang headquarters. Hurry up and deal with him. The colleagues in the Petition Department have already written down his information. His name is..."
The person who had just called heard his detailed information being reported and his face instantly turned dark, as if his mother had died.
Shen Jin hung up the phone, "Who else has any comments?"
