Chapter 1623 Father and son turn against each other
The four people in the shack fell silent instantly, and all turned to look at Pi Yangyang in astonishment.
Although Pi Yangyang was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the appearance of the four people in front of him.
If he wasn't familiar with their voices, he wouldn't be sure that they were the father and son of the Qi family.
The four people in front of him were all slumped on the ground, their clothes torn into strips.
Moreover, both the clothes and the skin had lost their original color and turned completely black.
A face, except for the eyes and teeth, the other facial features are completely unclear.
His hair was shoulder-length and crusted with soot.
The shack was filled with a pungent smell of ammonia, which almost made Pi Yangyang fall.
Chu Ge covered his nose and retreated, letting out a long breath.
Among the four people, Pi Yangyang recognized Qi Xiaolin at a glance.
At this moment, he was curled up in a ball, holding his stomach, as if he was in great pain.
The other three people each held half a steamed bun in their hands, bit a piece in their mouths, and looked at Pi Yangyang in astonishment.
One of them was holding two steamed buns in his hands, but both had been bitten several times.
Their hands were black, and the steamed buns were black too.
Pi Yangyang frowned. He had thought that they would be miserable, but he didn't expect it to be this miserable.
"Chairman, they are paid according to their work. If they dig 100 kilograms of coal every day, they can earn one steamed bun. When they first came, they could not even earn one steamed bun a day. Now it's much better, one person can earn more than three steamed buns a day."
Wang Ba'er introduced from the side.
Pi Yangyang said "hmm", looked at the man with two steamed buns in his hands, and asked, "Are you Qi Erbao?"
Qi Erbao was stunned for a moment, then quickly crawled to Pi Yangyang's feet and burst into tears.
"Mr. Pi... No, Grandpa, I know I was wrong. Please spare me... If I keep digging, I will die..."
He cried so heart-wrenchingly that he almost died on the spot.
"Qi Erbao, what are you doing? Are you still a member of the Qi family?"
Qi Dabao shouted angrily.
Qi Erbao cried and said, "Is the Qi family so important? If we don't beg him, we will be dead. Does it matter what our last name is?"
Qi Dabao choked.
They have been tortured for the past few months, living a life neither human nor ghost, digging coal underground every day for a steamed bun.
But their legs were broken. Although they have healed after such a long time, they are still left with sequelae and it is difficult for them to stand up.
When they got to the mines, they were no match for the strong South Asian miners.
Sometimes the coal they dug with great difficulty was snatched away by other miners.
The four men were not convinced and argued with them, which resulted in a beating.
These miners also know that they were punished to come here to mine coal, so they are naturally not afraid of being blamed by the managers, and they are very ruthless in their actions.
There were two times when Qi Sanbao was nearly beaten to death.
Eventually, the four father and sons learned to swallow their anger and would actively look for places that were difficult to mine or had a higher risk factor every time they went to dig coal.
But they are used to a life of luxury, and suddenly their legs are broken and they are sent to dig coal. How can they get used to it?
In the first two or three days, the coal dug by the four people was not enough to buy two steamed buns.
At the beginning, the four of them were united and thought that Qi Tianhao would find a way to save them.
But as time goes by, this hope becomes increasingly slim.
As a result, the four gradually had differences.
Qi Xiaolin, in particular, was extremely angry with Qi Erbao, and brought Qi Dabao and Qi Sanbao to isolate him.
Qi Erbao is no pushover. Although he is outnumbered and weak, he is ruthless and shameless.
So he often snatched the steamed buns of these three people, especially Qi Xiaolin's steamed bun, sometimes he would pick it out of his mouth.
Several people have gradually lost hope. Living in such darkness is worse than death.
However, they were unwilling to die.
So every day was a repetition of the same routine: digging coal, changing buns, sleeping, and waking up to continue digging coal.
Just when hope was gradually fading, Pi Yangyang suddenly appeared.
If it were the first days after arriving here, the four people would hate Pi Yangyang to the core and would curse him thousands of times in their hearts every day.
But in Qi Erbao's eyes, Pi Yangyang is now a savior and a living Bodhisattva.
"Grandpa, are you here to let us go? We have suffered so much here for several months and we know we were wrong! When we go back, we will listen to you and be your dogs... Grandpa... Please spare us..."
After Qi Erbao scolded Qi Dabao, he kowtowed to Pi Yangyang and begged bitterly.
Although Qi Dabao and Qi Sanbao were disgusted by Qi Erbao's behavior, survival is human instinct.
They also realized that Pi Yangyang couldn't have appeared here for no reason.
Maybe he really felt that their punishment was enough and came here to let them go?
So the two of them quickly crawled over and kowtowed to Pi Yangyang.
"Grandpa, you are my real grandpa. As long as you let us go, we will obey you in everything from now on..."
The hot-tempered Qi Sanbao also began to beg.
Qi Dabao couldn't call out "Grandpa" at all. He just kowtowed desperately and cried, "Mr. Pi, we really know we were wrong... We shouldn't have opposed you in the first place..."
Qi Xiaolin was so hungry that he felt dizzy and weak all over. He couldn't even crawl.
He also shouted: "Mr. Pi, I... I know I was wrong... Let me go back, I... My Qi family still has some assets, I will give them to you, as long as you can let us go back..."
Looking at this scene, Pi Yangyang was stunned.
He was afraid that Qi Xiaolin would also call him grandpa, which would not only make him sound old, but also mess up the generations.
"By the way, how about you let me contact Qi Tianhao... I'll ask him to immediately clear out the remaining assets of the Qi family and give them all to you..."
Qi Xiaolin seemed to remember something, looked up and said excitedly.
Pi Yangyang sneered and said, "Old Qi, are you still thinking about the Qi family's property? Your good grandson is now the head of the Qi family, and the Qi family's company has also reopened. But he has never thought of rescuing you..."
Qi Dabao was stunned and asked hesitantly, "He became the head of the Qi family? And he revived the company?"
Pi Yangyang glanced at him and sneered, "Shouldn't you be happy? Your Qi family didn't fall completely."
After a moment of silence, Qi Dabao raised his head and asked hopefully, "Qi Tianhao...didn't he ask you to let me go back?"
"No, he never mentioned you. And as far as I know, he didn't let other people in the Qi family look for you..."
Pi Yangyang said playfully.
Qi Dabao's face twitched violently, and after half a minute he angrily cursed: "This bastard! I'm his father, and he doesn't care whether I live or die?"
Pi Yangyang smiled and said, "If he takes you back, can he still be the head of the family or the chairman? Do you think your son is stupid, or do you think he is very filial?"
Qi Dabao choked.
Filial piety seems to be a joke to the Qi family.
For a steamed bun, fathers and sons turned against each other, and brothers became enemies.
If I am like this, what reason do I have to ask my son to be filial?
He suddenly felt despair, and sat down on the ground dejectedly, saying absentmindedly: "It's over... It's all over..."
Qi Tianhao was his only hope. He always firmly believed that he would not leave his son alone and would definitely find a way to rescue him.
But Pi Yangyang's words completely shattered all his fantasies, and he suddenly felt that there was no hope in life.
Qi Erbao seemed to have thought of something. He shuddered and said, "I'm not going back. I'll just dig coal here... But... can you give me two more steamed buns every day? One steamed bun is really not enough. I don't have the energy to dig coal..."
Pi Yangyang looked at him in surprise, and seeing a hint of fear and expectation in his eyes, he immediately understood what he was thinking.
Here, he could at least save his life. If he really let them go back, Qi Xiaolin, Qi Dabao and Qi Sanbao would definitely kill him!
Besides, Qi Tianhao is now the head of the Qi family, and he will have no chance of survival if he goes back.
So, instead of going back and losing my life, it is better to live here.
"Okay, starting tomorrow, I'll give you an extra steamed bun for every meal..."
Pi Yangyang smiled lightly and said.
The Qi family's father and his two sons immediately knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude, saying thank you with tears in their eyes.
Pi Yangyang shook his head and left the shack.
Think about how glorious the Qi family was in the past, but now, just for a steamed bun, people can kneel down and call him grandpa, and even father and son, and brothers become enemies. How sad is that?
