On the night of Hank's second day of service, an old man who kept coughing finally found his home in the massive haze.

"How much food do you have at home?"

After returning home, the old man took off his coat and asked his daughter, holding a somewhat shriveled bag in his hand. His daughter shook her head helplessly, and then tightened her arms.

The children inside.

"I'm sorry, father. I only have some bran and sawdust left, and I can still make another meal... There should have been two pieces of bread, but we got out of the plants too late, so..."

She didn't continue talking because her father was already coughing violently. This made her look gloomy because her father no longer had to work, but since her husband got sick due to the toxic gas in the factory

, after spending all the family savings and dying, his father had to return to the factory and continue working for them.

Then, this long period of work unfortunately aggravated his existing lung disease, and those alchemical poisonous gases were corroding his life at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This made her couldn't help but think of everything she had experienced in the past few years: if her husband did not do that dangerous but well-paid job, then their house would have been destroyed due to the debt incurred during her childbirth.

And it was taken away, leaving them homeless... Although in order to treat her husband, their house was eventually taken away, and she had to live with her father again, but she also

I can only hold back my tears silently and work hard to live in this progressive city.

However, although she was strong enough, bad luck did not bypass them. In order to provide her and her children with enough bread and milk, her mother spent money on the referendum so that she could go to Ms. Fillier's textile factory.

Although her mother can only get one-fifth of the salary of those young female workers, the family is still grateful for it. After all, her mother is already forty years old, already very old, and there are still some

Disease, it is a kindness in itself that someone can take care of such a female worker.

Unfortunately, the overly heavy work still caused her mother to collapse. Twelve hours of basic working time caused this old woman to consume the last bit of life in her body, and eventually she coughed up blood in pain one night.

Her death made the already-suffering family even worse, placing all the burden on her father.

"...Don't talk nonsense. The boy from the Fran family died in the gutter just because he scolded the factory owner in private."

Waving his hand, the old father knew that his daughter was accusing the stranger named Li Ke who appeared from nowhere and tied them with branches, which directly caused their home to be left unattended and lost their last two pieces of money.

Bread. So he murmured quickly, asking his daughter to keep her voice down.

He remembered very clearly that the boy from the Fran family wanted to unite with other workers to demand a raise, and privately cursed the factory owner as a vampire. Then the next day everyone saw his home being attacked by gang members.

, even the body was thrown into the sewers full of highly toxic sludge, and the Fran family, who lacked money, had no money to hire specialized people to salvage his body from the highly toxic ooze... As a result, he

In order to bury her son, the mother entered the pool of highly toxic ooze without special protective equipment and fished out her son's body.

But what happened? What happened to the Fran family was the funeral of two people.

Their family could no longer withstand any possible storms, so after giving a subtle warning to his daughter, he handed over the bag he had brought and kept it as far away from his daughter's chest as possible while taking off his clothes.

and the two children behind him, to avoid letting the haze on his body invade their young lungs. Finally, he looked at his daughter's relieved smile while holding some vegetables he brought back, and then sat down on his own

Sitting on the chair, he let out a long sigh, enjoying this moment of family warmth. Because he knew that he didn't have to wait until the meal was over, and he would have to think of ways to feed himself tomorrow's rations.

And her daughter also thought of this, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips, and then sighed.

"If only Ms. Fillier's factory was still running."

Originally, she had already negotiated without telling her father. As long as she agreed to some of the foreman's small requests, such as resting in the same room with the foreman during breaks, she could take her two children there.

Taking over her mother's previous job to earn food rations for the family.

Of course, she still had to repay the losses caused by her mother. After all, her mother's death caused Ms. Philier's factory to temporarily recruit a new employee, which caused some unnecessary trouble to the factory, so she first

She can only get half the salary every month and has to work two more hours. But this is not a punishment to her, because female workers with children can only get 60% of the salary and have to work more.

An hour's work. So this problem was nothing to her. Instead, she felt that she had to find a way to thank Mrs. Fillier, because it was the kindness of the other party that gave her the opportunity to work.

.

After all, in this day and age, only Mrs. Fillier would do this in a textile factory that would hire female workers with children or older women. But for such a kind-hearted person, she actually...

"Damn Noxians."

The old father couldn't help lowering his voice and cursed, but this was not because his daughter could not go to work in Mrs. Phillier's textile factory. The reason why he cursed angrily was because Li Ke ordered the suspension.

The operation of all factories, and said that these factories will not be able to reopen until he provides a set of rules and regulations for all factories, as well as other branches.

But in this case, he would have no job, and without a job, he would not be able to get the bread money to feed his family. In fact, the bag he got back today did not contain the vegetables he bought, but plums.

The edible part of a plant produced by cocoa.

After all, their family has no money.

The last silver wheel and copper ring were used to buy millet mixed with half bran and sawdust, but even these cheap grains did not allow them to survive until their father's next payday. Because the factory was closed.

, foremen and factory owners will not pay wages when work is stopped.

The old father could understand them, because this was a rule that no one had ever broken, so he could only resent the man who had shut down all the factories. And he also believed that his other workers and neighbors were now also

They all think so, after all, their situation is not much better than our own. They are all people who need money, and they are all working as foremen and factory owners.
