Chapter 1983: The Mother of Antarctic Penguins (Twenty-Eight)

Chen Huaimin glanced at Li Li, as if he suddenly saw something very funny, the smile on his face seemed to be happy, but also seemed to be ironic.

"Engineer Li, you should know that private oil mining is illegal. Those who violate the law are not only the boss, but also the workers. Does Engineer Li want your brothers to go to jail?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Li's face suddenly become ugly, and Chen Huaimin was in a happier mood.

"Engineer Li, since you chose to do this business in the first place, don't think so much now, just make money. Engineer Li should also understand that as long as there is money, many people will compete to work for me, but I still trust Engineer Li more. I hope Engineer Li will not let me down."

After Chen Huaimin finished speaking, he patted Li Li's shoulder and went to the other side to talk to others.

Li Li stood there without speaking, but his expression was tense.

What Chen Huaimin wanted to express was very clear. Chen Huaimin was a person who put interests first. He would not stop mining because of the impact of oil spills on marine life. Even if he left with the engineering team, he could find others.

And Chen Huaimin was right in one point. Even if they stopped now, they had already done illegal mining before. They had already walked on this illegal road and could not turn back.

The people in Li Li's engineering team were all his fellow villagers.

Their hometown was very poor and it was difficult to go to school. For so many years, only Li Li went to college.

Li Li had a good relationship with the people in the village. Seeing that they were living a difficult life and had no money to treat their family members, he took them out to work. Later, somehow, they accidentally embarked on the road of oil mining.

Whenever he saw them get the money, he was also happy.

But when he saw these dead marine creatures, his heart could not calm down.

At this time, a younger man came over. His name was Li Qu. He was a good junior in the village. He got married two years ago and had a daughter. Unfortunately, his daughter was born with heart disease.

Li Qu joined his engineering team this year.

"What's the matter?" Li Li asked.

Li Qu hesitated and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask, when can we get paid?"

He seemed to think that asking this question was too direct and not very good,

so he added, "You know, Niuniu's illness cannot be delayed, the sooner the surgery is done, the better."

Li Qu's eyebrows were filled with a hint of sadness and hope.

Li Qu was originally a carpenter in his hometown, but the efficiency of making money there was too low.

In order to make money faster, he shamelessly joined Li Li's engineering team.

Li Li said, "It's almost there, it will be here in a few days."

"Oh, good." Li Qu was immediately happy and immediately went to mine again.

Li Li looked at his figure, sighed, and his mood became heavier.

The people in their engineering team all had some difficulties at home, which was why Li Li chose to take them with him.

The boss of their business was not short of money, and in order to keep them confidential, he paid them high wages.

So after a few times, they made a lot of money.

But Li Li was still confused most of the time.

Was it right or wrong for him to bring them out?

If their families knew that the money they brought home was obtained illegally, would they still accept it with peace of mind?

Li Li was at a loss.
