At noon, the uncle of the Wubao household sat at the entrance of the village, looking at the crowd of people who gave his brother a funeral, crying heartbreakingly, the uncle had mixed feelings in his heart, and said to the old man next to him: "I can't survive this winter, when I die, just find a place to bury it, no need to report the funeral, no need to send soup, no need to send a funeral, nothing to do."
Uncle is far away from our family, is the oldest of his generation, unmarried all his life, no children and no daughters, don't look at his short stature, thin body, when he was young, he was a good hand at work, but his temper was a little strong.
We all live in the west of the village, only he lives in the east of the village, the earliest time there was a homestead, and later he gave his younger brother when he was older, and then he went to the east of the village to build two rooms, and lived with his wife for 30 years.
Uncle does things neatly, every year by doing odd jobs to live, the first half of his life is unremarkable, the turning point of change has to start from the widow Li in our village:
Widow Li in the village, her husband died of a serious illness in her early years, and she took two male babies to live, and the two babies were thirteen or fourteen years old
In the days that followed, the uncle walked around at the door of Widow Li's house every other day to see if there was anything he could help, either to help fetch water, or to help harvest wheat, and to lend money to the children to pay for tuition
These gossips quickly spread to the Li family, and the Li family didn't say anything, if someone could help take care of the two children, it would be okay to make do, Widow Li acquiesced, but when these words reached the ears of Widow Li's two sons, they were angry!I don't agree, how can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child understand the suffering of adults!One person took a brick, and he had to beat my uncle, although they were just two little children, but my uncle's body may not be able to bear it, but fortunately, he was stopped by the neighbors later, and it didn't cause a big disaster!
Since then, Uncle has never gone to Widow Li, and this relationship has been broken, this should be the first and only time that Uncle has moved emotions since I can remember!
In the days that followed, the uncle's life returned to ordinary again, doing odd jobs, taking care of the old lady, going to the village to play chess with the elderly, and listening to other people's cheering routines.
After the scandal between the uncle and Widow Li was broken, few people talked about his broken mouth, I thought I could be ordinary and continue to live, but who knew that an accident could happen if I did a part-time job!
From 1990 to 2000, many peasant unions went out to work, and the uncle was no exception, he entrusted the relationship with people to go to Daqing to work, that is, to build a house, he was a small worker, and he could be more than ten or twenty a day, and the salary of Daqing was generally paid annually, twelve months a year, except for the New Year, spring busy, and autumn harvest, and it was enough to work for ** months, so calculated, in addition to eating and drinking, and road expenses, there could be three or four thousand yuan a year.
The account is easy to calculate, but the money is difficult to get, this time period, there are often contract foremen in arrears of migrant workers' wages, it can only be said that unscrupulous people are not lacking at any time, unfortunately, the uncle stepped on the thunder, he and his workers did a year of work, the contract foreman said no money, the contractor did not give him money, how to make trouble, really all the ways are used, the contract foreman is a fellow villager, the New Year blocked the door to ask for money did not arrive, this year is really sour!
It's spring next year, and the money still hasn't been given, what should I do!The contractor was in a hurry, so he took the uncle and his co-workers to the contractor to ask for money!Under their soft and hard work, the contractor put forward a plan, saying that it was written on the list when it would be repaid, and it would definitely be repaid when the time came, and then a representative was sent to sign, which was also infuriating, and a group of people said that they couldn't read and write, and the uncle was upright and said that he would write his name, and then he signed it like this, and said that the time to send the money over!
Who knows that the unscrupulous contractor still hasn't paid the money when the date arrives, and the workers think that the money has been paid to the uncle!They all chased the uncle to ask for money, the uncle was stupid, and he couldn't make sense with these people, so what should I do, I ran to ask for money alone!
Just his thin body, but no one is afraid of him, without the huge debt before, the contractor ignores the uncle, there is no money here, and the workers over there still suspect that they have swallowed the money!It's not angry!There is no way, the uncle who has no culture can only turn to the law, but I don't know how long this process takes, whether you win or lose!In such a state, the uncle has survived for several years, and in the past few years, the workers have not taken him, and the contractor has not paid attention to him, so he can only pick up the rags at home and live on all kinds of land!
Although later the state helped to recover the wages of migrant workers, the money came down!But in the past few years that I owe my uncle, I will never get it back!
