Dou Baoguo had just washed his face in Zhao Qingzhu's shack when a group of loggers flooded in.
They had worked for ten days, fought, and gone on strike. This logging job was a real roller-coaster. But for these ordinary men, the whole point of leaving their families to come up the mountain was to earn money.
Now, it seemed earning money had become a pipe dream. So, the loggers wanted to at least get paid for the days they had worked.
However, the Forest Farm only tallied and settled accounts for the contract loggers at each Logging Camp around the 24th or 25th of the month, with wages being paid out around the 10th of the following month, along with the official Forest Farm employees.
These loggers had only started trickling in after the 25th of last month. This month's 25th was still a long way off, but they couldn't just walk away from ten days of hard-earned wages.
