47: 47 serves him right
Sixth Master spoke the truth, if not for Su Xiaofeng stopping the bleeding in time, if not for that, even the deities reincarnated would be powerless to reverse the situation.
He was indeed lucky, having suffered such severe injuries, yet his bodily functions were surprisingly unharmed; his luck was incomparable.
“It’s good that everything is fine, good that everything is fine.” The supervisor smiled as he walked up to Sixth Master, “Doctor, how much do I owe you?
I’ll pay you right now.”
“I will cover Sixth Master’s consultation fee.” After confirming that Su Lao Guai was indeed alright, Su Xiaofeng stood up from the ground and said coldly, “Who is in charge here?”
The supervisor’s gaze involuntarily shifted to Boss Huang.
Boss Huang stepped forward with a smile, “Miss, that would be me.
I’m a bit younger than your father, you can just call me Uncle Huang.”
He had originally thought that a life lost would definitely cost him thirty thousand.
He hadn’t expected that it was only some injuries and some blood loss, without any danger to life.
With this, he could just compensate a bit of money and the matter would be settled.
The country folk, ah, give them a thousand or two and they’d probably be over the moon with joy.
Su Xiaofeng of course knew it was him; that sentence about not being able to save even if they tried, after all, had come from his very own mouth.
“Boss Huang,” she asked after inspecting the miners’ work attire, “none of them are wearing a uniform, nor safety helmets, and there are no safety measures during operations.
Do you think it’s safe to work in such an environment, Boss Huang?”
This was a privately run mine, where these private owners mined secretly.
Accidents often occurred here due to rushed work, resulting in injuries or fatalities.
Mostly, they would settle with money, which only emboldened these private owners to become more brazen in their actions.
“Miss, let’s not talk about all this nonsense.
I just have one question for you, how much do you want me to compensate?
And to say something unpleasant, they all came to work here voluntarily; I didn’t force anyone,” retorted Boss Huang, who wasn’t dealing with such matters for the first time.
Why did these people, knowing the dangers, still willingly come to work in the mines?
Was it not because the wage here was high?
Working here for one day could equal two to three days outside.
How could the breadwinners of their families not be tempted?
If they wanted to accept the high wages he offered, they naturally had to accept the risks that could occur here.
This was made clear before they started working: take care of their own safety.
Should anything happen, he wouldn’t be responsible; at most, he would compensate based on the severity of the injury.
“Right, those who come to work here do so voluntarily.
Before coming, I made it clear to everyone that there could be accidents leading to injuries or fatalities, so everyone should watch out for their own safety,” the supervisor said, glancing at the workers standing around as he stepped up to speak on behalf of Boss Huang.
Su Xiaofeng sneered, “So what you’re saying is, my dad getting injured today was his own lack of caution, that he deserved it?”
Listening to Su Xiaofeng’s tone of voice, the crowd subconsciously looked at her, thinking to themselves that Su Lao Guai’s daughter was supposed to be very obedient.
But hearing her speak, it seemed like she was picking a fight.
“Xiaofeng,” He Ximei’s eyelids twitched, what was Xiaofeng trying to do?
She couldn’t be looking to stir up trouble, right?
Regardless, Su Lao Guai’s compensation had not yet been received, and they couldn’t afford to offend Boss Huang, “Your dad’s condition has just improved, it’s not suitable for him to stay here for a long time.
Let someone send your dad back home.”
“Yeah, Xiaofeng, no matter what, the incident has happened, and saying anything now is futile.
As long as your dad is okay, that’s better than any outcome.
Let’s go back first, Boss Huang will surely take care of the rest,” Su Facai’s eyelids also twitched, fearing Xiaofeng would offend Boss Huang.
They came to work in this mine because the wages were high; he didn’t want to lose his job by offending the boss for the moment.
