Song Tan was well-intentioned, but as soon as the news spread, the workers refused to cooperate.
"I'm not going, I'm not going…"
"I'm not going either…"
"I think I'll just go home; I haven't been home since March!"
Everyone was unanimous, and even Old Xu was stunned.
"What's going on with you all? Usually, you'd be reluctant to go home early and want to take on another job till the end of the year. Now, there's likely work with the road construction nearby, why aren't you willing to work?"
Old Xu thought to himself, "You think the wages are too low, right?"
The road construction indeed involves messy work, and the wages aren't high, but don't they provide meals? Earning something is better than nothing.
After all, people come to the construction sites to make money.
Old Xu thought he was being considerate, yet the workers still shook their heads, especially Zhou Dayong who only joined in October.
