Chapter 15 Do you want to die?
"Actually, this kind of thing can't be hidden at all. We were all introduced by relatives and friends of the villagers in this village. We already knew this when we came here."
"But it has a different meaning than if you told us it yourself. It shows that you are an upright and honest person."
"Just for this reason, I, Da Niu, will work for you."
Zhang Dong was also deeply shocked to hear Da Niu say these words.
He grabbed Da Niu's hand and said, "Brother, thank you for your strong support. Don't worry, as long as you work here with sincerity, the pay will definitely not be a problem."
“You are the first batch of employees to work in my mine. You are all veterans, and I will not treat you unfairly.”
"Yes, yes, brother, we believe what you say, and we believe in your character..."
Qin Xianglan, who was standing nearby, was overjoyed to see this dramatic turn of events.
Just moments ago, she was filled with worry. If none of the fifteen or sixteen migrant workers from other villages stayed, the blow to her son would be immense.
Unexpectedly, after the son frankly explained the situation, this big shot from the other village actually took a liking to that.
It seems that it's always better to be kind and honest.
Qin Xianglan was quite pleased with herself for having given birth to such an outstanding son.
"Oh, Brother Da Niu, in that case, I'll have to cook a few more dishes so you can stay and have some drinks."
"Haha, sister-in-law, I completely agree. When cooking, put more oil in the dishes, so you'll have more energy when you're mining."
Da Niu is an easygoing and straightforward person, and he started joking with Qin Xianglan right away.
"Hey, isn't something wrong?"
Zhang Dong's uncle suddenly spoke up at this moment.
He had been holding his breath for his nephew, but now that the situation had turned around, he was overjoyed.
Zhang Dong looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Uncle Zhang Guangyao smiled: "Well..."
After keeping everyone in suspense, he slowly began to speak: "Just now, Da Niu called you 'brother,' and he called your mother 'sister-in-law.' How is this generational hierarchy determined? I feel like the generational hierarchy is all messed up."
"Hahaha--"
Upon hearing his uncle Zhang Guangyao say these words, Zhang Dong burst into laughter.
The others burst into laughter.
At this moment, Zhang Dong's father, Zhang Guangming, waved his hand.
"Forget about seniority and hierarchy, let's all work hard from now on."
Da Niu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother."
At this point, the corner of his mouth twitched: "Have I messed up the generational order again?"
Da Niu's words made everyone laugh again, and the whole courtyard was filled with laughter.
"Hey, Uncle and Aunt, I know there are many people in your family today, so I specially picked some vegetables for you."
A crisp voice came.
Zhang Dong turned his head and was surprised to find that Tang Guo was carrying a huge vegetable basket filled with seasonal vegetables such as eggplants, bell peppers, and green beans.
"Oh, Tang Guo, you've saved your aunt from a crisis."
Seeing that Tang Guo had brought so many fresh vegetables, Qin Xianglan's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
She knew, of course, how much her son loved Tang Guo, and seeing how well-behaved her future daughter-in-law was, she was deeply moved.
This made the students next to him stare wide-eyed.
Wu Jun lowered his voice: "Wow, isn't this Tang Guo? Could it be that she and Zhang Dong are together? Otherwise, this basket of vegetables is worth a lot of money."
Li Cheng snorted coldly: "They're childhood sweethearts, what's this about 'easy to get' or 'difficult to get'? You're being so vulgar."
Wu Jun blushed: "Hehe, I'm just envious. Zhang Dong is really lucky. He's the same age as us, but he already owns a mine and has such a beautiful wife."
Sun Bin, standing next to him, widened his eyes: "What do you mean? Conjunctivitis?"
"Haha, brother, look at your eyes, they're bulging like yo-yos. I think you're the one with conjunctivitis."
Wu Jun chuckled.
"Seeing Zhang Dong like this suddenly gave me a lot of motivation. We have to catch up with Zhang Dong's pace, otherwise it won't just be a matter of being far ahead."
"Hahaha." Several classmates also burst into laughter.
After lunch, Zhang Dong led the dozen or so miners and more than 20 villagers to a small mine near Woniu Mountain.
He has never been here since Wang Jianguo gave him the mine.
Now he wants to bring people over to take a look and conduct an on-site inspection.
This afternoon we'll scout out the mine; official mining will begin tomorrow.
Although Zhang Dong, after his rebirth, knew that the small mine near Woniu Mountain, which previously belonged to Wang Jianguo, had later yielded abundant mineral resources.
However, there's a lot of intricacies involved in determining exactly which direction to mine.
Of course, he's not a complete novice in this area either.
After all, the experiences from the previous life are there for all to see.
Zhang Dong believed that, based on his own observations, he would be able to clarify the relevant situation after going underground and conducting an on-site inspection.
But just as they arrived, they suddenly heard a sharp shout from not far away.
"Stop right there, or we'll get rough with you."
Hearing this booming, resounding shout, everyone was somewhat bewildered.
Even Zhang Dong was somewhat surprised. When he looked up, he saw more than a dozen burly men standing up at the entrance of the mine next to him.
After glancing at them, Zhang Dong looked around at the terrain.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the mine was situated in a mountain valley, surrounded by undulating peaks, with a huge depression in front of it and more than a dozen mine shafts of varying sizes scattered around it.
Outside was a large, flat hillside with a dozen or so simple mining machines.
These mining equipment all appear to be obsolete and no longer in use. They've been left here exposed to wind, rain, and sun, and are now covered in rust.
"Yes, this is the spot."
After examining the area, Zhang Dong looked at the leading man with a puzzled expression.
The other person was tall and burly, with long hair pulled back, a donkey-like face, and a conspicuous scar on his forehead.
Upon closer inspection, he recognized the guy; he was one of Wang Jianguo's lackeys. Nobody remembered his real name; his nickname was "Big Donkey Face."
Zhang Dong was quite surprised: "Who do we have here? It's just the big donkey. Don't you know that your owner has already given this place to me?"
"What? I gave it to you? Bah—" The big donkey-faced man spat fiercely.
"You're not our boss's son. Do you think our boss would just give you this place for nothing?"
Speaking angrily, the big-faced man came over and shoved Zhang Dong hard.
"You little brat, you're crazy for money! You even dare to extort our boss's things. Do you want to die?"
