Chapter 1004 Bullying goes too far

"Looking at their posture, it's obvious that they want those workers to share the responsibilities for them!" Shi Xinxin added immediately.

As a bystander, she could clearly hear the conversation between the two parties just now.

The Fan family's arrogant and unreasonable behavior is simply acting rogue without any scruples.

They pass all responsibilities onto others, completely ignoring the situation and feelings of the workers.

However, even so, Shi Xinxin had no intention of exposing their intentions.

She knew clearly in her heart that she would not interfere in other people's affairs.

After more than half a year of hard work in the last days, she had already developed the habit of not interfering in other people's rights and wrongs.

After all, things like this happen in this world all the time. Wouldn't it be too tiring if you had to take care of it every time you see it?

Moreover, in this apocalyptic world, situations where people have too much time to take care of themselves often happen. Everyone is struggling to survive. How much energy and ability do they have to mind their own business?

On the side, Chu Yuanqing thought the same thing. He sighed silently and said nothing.

Shi Xinxin slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on the scene outside the window again.

Her eyes were firmly fixed on the workers who were still working hard in the rain, and a touch of pity surged in her heart.

If it weren't for making a living, who would be willing to risk their lives and run around during such a natural disaster.

They are just a bunch of poor people trying to make a living.

On the other hand, the Fan family members were still arrogant and arrogant, as if they were the masters of the fate of these workers and could manipulate and drive them at will.

Shi Xinxin shook her head gently and sighed secretly in her heart.

There is no way, in this apocalyptic world, strength, power and wealth seem to have become the only criteria to measure everything.

But the beautiful qualities that once shone with the brilliance of humanity have been gradually obscured and almost disappeared in this endless darkness and chaos.

Chu Yuanqing was keenly aware of the subtle changes in Shi Xinxin's mood. He gently raised his hand, patted her shoulder tenderly, and comforted her softly: "Xinxin, don't think too much, let's do our best. Things are fine.”

Shi Xinxin nodded slightly, knowing that what Chu Yuanqing said was very reasonable.

In this chaotic and disordered world, perhaps all they can do is to do their best to protect themselves and those close to them.

As for many other things, we can only adapt to this cruel reality and let nature take its course.

However, what happened next made Shi Xinxin and Chu Yuanqing unable to remain silent any longer.

At the construction site, a worker was struggling to carry a pile of heavy construction materials. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat and he was breathing heavily.

Suddenly, during the transportation process, a sharp edge accidentally scratched his protective clothing.

The worker's eyes widened in horror, because he knew what it meant to be without the protection of protective clothing in a world full of acid rain.

He quickly stopped what he was doing and prepared to treat the wound to prevent the corrosive rain from further eroding his body.

However, before he could take a few steps, Fan Zhou, who was sitting in the temporary canopy supervising the work, came over angrily.

He shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Who asked you to stop? Don't you know that the construction progress is very tight now?"

The worker looked embarrassed and explained with a trembling voice: "Master Fan, my protective clothing is torn. I have to deal with it quickly, otherwise I will be injured by the acid rain."

Fan Zhou was unmoved at all. He glared at the workers fiercely and shouted: "So what if it's acid rain? Go back to work right away! Can you afford to delay the progress of my home's construction?"

The worker begged, "Master Fan, please give me a few minutes to deal with it, otherwise my life will be in danger."

"Hmph, stop pretending to be pitiful for me here!" Fan Zhou looked disdainful, "Do you think I don't know that you just want to be lazy? Stop talking nonsense and work for me quickly!"

At this time, other workers also gathered around and pleaded for the injured worker: "Master Fan, let him deal with it. You also know that this acid rain is no joke."

Fan Zhou's face became even more gloomy. He looked around and shouted loudly: "Shut up! If anyone dares to talk anymore, get out of here with him. Don't think about wages or anything else!"

The workers suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to speak anymore.

Isn't it that they work so hard and endure humiliation just to get the final balance?

At this juncture, we can't offend this old man.

Otherwise, they will still be the ones to suffer.

The injured worker could only look at his damaged protective clothing helplessly, with despair and helplessness in his eyes.

Under Fan Zhou's coercion, he could only comfort himself that such a small wound should not be a big problem.

He gritted his teeth and turned around to continue carrying the materials.

Shi Xinxin and Chu Yuanqing witnessed all this, and their hearts were filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

Chu Yuanqing clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth: "This guy named Fan has gone too far! He simply doesn't take the lives of workers seriously."

"How could they do this? This is simply disrespecting human life! This is a refuge and there are laws. How dare they?" Shi Xinxin also said with a face full of anger and frowned.

However, the Fan family's evil deeds go beyond that.

In the following period, they continued to impose harsh demands and ruthless oppression on the workers.

There was a worker who fainted and fell to the ground due to exhaustion due to long and intensive work.

Other workers saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

When Fan Yu saw this scene, not only did he not have any sympathy, but he yelled: "Everyone is a waste! Can't you stand just such a small amount of work? Why don't you get up and continue working!"

The workers reluctantly carried the fainted worker aside and tried to give him a rest.

But Fan Yu refused. He stepped forward, kicked the unconscious worker, and said viciously: "Don't pretend to be dead here, get up and work!"

The workers couldn't stand it anymore, and some couldn't help but said: "Mr. Fan, he has fainted. Let him rest for a while."

You know, since receiving the commission from the Fan family, they have been working day and night. Even if the acid rain comes, they have never been idle.
