Chapter 261 - 261 "Big Brother"
261 “Big Brother”
The chefs in the workers’ canteen were actually a couple.
The two of them looked ordinary and honest, but in fact, all the workers respected them.
On one hand, it was because the food was the most important thing to the people.
The restaurants outside were too expensive, and the workers only earned so little a day. How could they bear to spend it on a meal? At the construction site, Liang Wen would pay for their meals and didn’t need to spend any money.
The couple’s cooking was not inferior to the outside at all. They had meat almost every day, so they felt their body were filled with strength after eating, and there were light in their eyes. Even Liang Wen was willing to run to the construction site sometimes, squatting on the ground to eat with the workers.
On the other hand, his wife, Dan Yu, was really very strong.
Whenever a worker passed by their door, Dan Yu would raise a vegetable knife and shout at them if they caused a big commotion. Although she was a woman, she had a loud voice. She never had soft-mouthed when she scolded people, and every word she said pierced the heart. Basically, those who had quarreled with her would be defeated in the end and she would scold them.
That husband of hers, on the surface, looked kind and friendly, but in fact, he was very petty.
When the workers were hungry and wanted to pull out the radishes at their doorstep to eat, they would be scolded for a long time.
It was also because the couple was not easy to mess with that the workers avoided them as much as possible, fearing they would have no food to eat if they were unhappy one day.
Dan Yu was the one who had discovered the little girl from the beginning.
She chased after a young worker and shouted, “Big Brother!”
The little girl with black braids was wearing a light blue dress and carrying a suitcase with peeling paint. She followed her “Big Brother” and mixed in with the workers. She was very eye-catching.
Her clothes weren’t very trendy, her skin wasn’t fair, and her clothes were wrinkled from washing. She was definitely not a girl from Jiang City.
A girl of this age could already be married in the countryside.
What was she doing at the construction site?
Occasionally, Dan Yu’s heart would tremble when she met the girl’s clear eyes.
She was still a child, about the same age as her daughter studying in Sioux City.
Many possibilities flashed through Dan Yu’s mind, but she was still worried. Whenever she had time, she would stare at this girl.
On the first afternoon of the lady’s arrival, Dan Yu found that the lady’s “Big Brother” was holding her face and pinching it ambiguously. Then, he rubbed her thick braided hair. In the end, he left her alone in his dormitory.
Through the window, Dan Yu saw the little girl’s head slowly lower, and her face was also flushed.
Liang Wen’s construction site had a lot of young and strong men. The company had clearly stipulated no one was allowed to date.
Falling in love was the same as leaving.
Dan Yu also knew what kind of person the lady’s “Big Brother” was.
He loved money as much as his life, and he needed a few grains to eat. How could he be willing to give up his job?
Dan Yu felt more and more that something was wrong. When her “Big Brother” got off work, she stood in the middle of the road and stopped him.
“What’s that girl doing here?” Just Dan Yu’s eyes alone could eat people, and her “Big Brother” aura was completely gone.
“I… she’s my younger cousin, so I let her stay the night and will leave tomorrow.” He didn’t even dare to look into Dan Yu’s eyes and only stared at his broken shoes.
“Your cousin?” Dan Yu narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
“Yes…” The “Big Bbrother” started to avoid eye contact. “She’s from the countryside. She’s honest. She’s here to seek shelter with her relatives.”
“Then why don’t she stay outside?” It was definitely not appropriate to live in the middle of a pack of wolf-like men.
“We’re poor.” The “Big Brother” scratched his head in embarrassment. “We can’t help it.”
Dan Yu had a good eye for people. At this time, she actually had some confidence in her heart. She waved her hand and asked him to go eat.
The door of the dormitory where the girl stayed was already surrounded by workers with rice bowls.
Young girls had an attraction to them wherever they went, and this attraction was fatal in a construction site full of single men.
After the ‘Big Brother’ finished his meal, he also brought a portion for his little sister. He scolded the man outside as he squeezed in.
However, he was still too small and could not squeeze in.
Dan Yu looked at the girl who was as scared as a little rabbit inside and still couldn’t bear to see her. So she rushed out with a vegetable knife.
