Chapter 535 Brother and Sister

"You... overthink it. I didn't see anyone from other groups when I was enjoying the cool breeze." Jiao Jiao could only bite the bullet and reply.

He had already understood one thing. There were indeed people in the factory who stood on the side of the manager at that time, but the informer only watched from a distance in order not to expose himself, and reported his suspicious scene to Gao Er, and did not know the true cause of the matter.

In other words, the other party had no solid evidence.

The purpose of calling him over was to confirm this point.

Sure enough, Gao Er smiled and went straight to the point, "Don't play dumb, you and I both know what happened at that time. Who was the person you talked to? Tell me his name. As long as you tell me, I can forgive your mistake this time, and there will be rewards if you tell more."

"Mr. Gao Er..."

"Don't worry, think about it before you speak. There must be rewards and punishments. If you don't know anything, you are laughing at my vision. Those who contact without the permission of the manager will be punished with thirty lashes and five days' salary deduction according to the factory regulations." Gao Er picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, "Whether it is a reward or a punishment, it is up to you to choose."

At this point, the other party's tone was already a little cold.

"But I really didn't see anyone! Mr. Gao Er, I...I..." Jiao Jiao stuttered for a moment, "I also want a reward, but I can't just say the name of the other team. If the matter gets out, I can't stay in the shed anymore!"

His answer was very fast, as if he didn't think about it.

But in fact, Jiao Jiao had thought very clearly, that is, he must not admit that he did talk to people.

If it was just a common fault, it would be fine. According to Momola, it was definitely a world-shaking event. No one can guarantee whether a fickle person like Gore will keep his promise in the future. Any employee involved may be brutally suppressed. It is absolutely suicidal to speak out.

What's more, the person he was talking to was Momola, who had stood up for his co-workers many times.

He could not participate in it, but he could not betray such a good person.

As long as he insisted that he knew nothing, Gore could not determine the situation at that time.

"It seems that you are not willing to drink the wine. Come here!" Gore's expression changed, and the smile before turned into a fierce look in an instant. He shouted and called the guard outside the door, "Drag him to the punishment room and whip him thirty times!"

"Mr. Gore, it's unjust. I really didn't talk to anyone at that time! Mr. Gore, Mr. Gore——"

Ji Jiao was quickly dragged out by two guards.

He didn't change his words until the door was closed.

It seems that I was really wrong?

Gore frowned, stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the situation in the factory - all production work was carried out in an orderly manner, and was not affected by the previous dismissal storm.

The recent catwoman incident set a bad precedent for employment, so that he became sensitive to any disturbance.

If it were someone else, he would probably have lost his temper and wanted to catch and punish her.

But Momola is different.

I heard from my brother that she can beat and scold, but not kill.

But when he asked why, Philip avoided the question and said that he didn't need to know for the time being, just understand that she was a card in the boss's hand.

This really puzzled Gore.

A low-level catwoman with no identity and no financial resources can actually be favored by the boss, which can only be said to be very strange.

He couldn't use Momola as a knife, which made him feel angry. But Gao Er also knew that this kind of "tolerance" was not without bottom line. Leading the protest would damage the face of the manager, and the boss would naturally not care. However, if the other party threatened the interests of Baiguoyuan, the financial sponsor above would probably not remain indifferent.

Unfortunately, I thought I could find something different today, but it turned out to be just a misunderstanding.

However, his vision would not be wrong, so the punishment should still be punished-since these hired workers would die sooner or later, it would be better to give them some fun before they die, so that they would be more valuable.

As for Momola, Gao Er believed that the other party would reveal their feet one day and fall into his hands.

...

The sun sank into the Sea of ​​Tranquility little by little.

The fiery red afterglow made the sky seem to be burning, and the clouds at the bottom were its embers.

Jiaojiao stumbled back to the shed, and before he opened the curtain, a joyful figure had already greeted him, "Brother, you are back!"

The other party was his sister, Mu Li.

She is also a half-beast, and her features are more obvious than his. Her curved horns almost cover her ears on both sides, and she looks extremely cute with her fluffy dark golden long curly hair - of course, only in his eyes.

In the shantytown, long hair is undoubtedly an extremely inconvenient hairstyle. Not only is it easy to get dirty, but it will also breed all kinds of fleas and bedbugs, but my sister's hair will not. It's not that she is naturally clean, but her hair grows too fast. Every time it is cut, it will return to its original shape after two or three days, which saves the effort of maintenance.

Therefore, one of his favorite things to do after work is to trim her hair.

This is also one of the meanings of his current life.

"Well... I got off work early today." Horns walked slowly into the shed and forced a smile.

"Then I'll make a fire and cook now."

"Well." He deliberately sat down by the edge of the shed, and felt a burst of pain in his back. "How much food do we have left?"

"Half a box of potatoes, three small cups of wheat, and two dried tendons left over from last month, it won't be a problem to make it to the end of the month." Mu Li replied.

A bitter feeling rose in Jiao Jiao's heart.

It was indeed barely enough to eat... but it was hard to say for next month.

Thirty lashes were bearable for a half-beast, but the deduction of five days' salary was the real killer - the reason why he worked more than others was that he had to use one person's salary to support two people, so when there was a food gap, this problem would become more obvious.

"Why, will it be more difficult next month?" Perhaps he was silent for too long, Mu Li turned around and asked with concern, "Why don't I go to the factory to work too?"

"No, you can't go!" Jiao Jiao interrupted her without hesitation. No one knew his sister better than him - she was simple-minded and kind, and it might be a good quality to be born in an ordinary family, but she was not suitable for the shantytown, let alone the factory. Once those supervisors set their sights on Mu Li, she had no idea how to prevent it.

"Really... But I want to help my brother." Mu Li's voice was somewhat self-blaming, "I know I'm just a burden now..."

"No, as long as you live well, you won't be a burden to your brother." Horn wanted to stand up to comfort the other party, but a sharp pain made his action abruptly interrupted.

Not only that, the pain also drilled into his mind along his spine--

If this goes on, can the two of them really live well?

"Not being able to fill their stomachs and feed themselves is not a problem unique to Las and his friends! Every employee in the Hundred Fruit Garden is like this. Do you think this is fair!"

"Everyone has a family, and this is fighting for everyone!"

Momola's words seemed to echo in his ears again.

Looking up at Mu Li's appearance of concentrating on life, Horn clenched his fists.

"Mu Li." He called softly.

"Hmm?"

"Save a portion of the prepared dinner for me. I suddenly remembered that there is something I haven't finished yet. I'll eat this meal when I come back."
