One morning, someone in the migrant workers’ living area reported that an old man had died.
I rushed to the scene and learned that the old man’s surname was Xie and he was sixty years old this year.
Logically, at his age, he cannot work on a construction site, but he is a fellow villager of the migrant worker boss, and it is said that he is a distant relative, so this inability becomes possible.
In order to give an explanation to the family, we dialed 110 at the same time as 120.
The police and doctors soon arrived.
After investigation by the police, the possibility of a criminal case was ruled out.
However, when the doctor saw the purple complexion of the deceased, he immediately concluded that he had heat stroke.
According to doctors, heat stroke is the most serious type of severe heat stroke (heat cramps, heat exhaustion , heat stroke) and is a fatal emergency. It can be divided into exertional heat stroke and non-exertional heat stroke.
Non-exertional heat stroke is more common in the elderly, frail and chronically ill patients. The disease occurs due to passive exposure to the thermal environment, causing an imbalance between heat production and heat dissipation in the body. Initial symptoms include delirium, seizures, and various behavioral abnormalities. In severe cases, high fever, coma, shock, arrhythmia, heart failure, shortness of breath, pulmonary edema, and even death may occur.
Mr. Xie belongs to the complex of labor and non-labor, and he should be dying of heat and exhaustion.
The doctor went on to say, if you don’t believe it, you can touch his body. I tried
and was immediately shocked.
Although Old Man Xie died a long time ago, his body is still burning, which shows that the fire in his body has not receded.
It seems the doctor was right.
As far as I know, Mr. Xie’s family is in the countryside.
The village where he lives is relatively poor, and his family is the poorest family in the village.
He has two sons in his family.
The eldest son is 40 years old this year, and the younger son is 35 years old. Neither of them is married and has a family.
The matchmaker introduced a second-married sister-in-law to her second son, but she asked for a bride price of 200,000 yuan.
With his family's conditions, he couldn't afford not to mention 200,000 yuan, but even 20,000 yuan.
In desperation, he had to find a migrant worker boss in the same village, hoping to work on the construction site contracted by him.
The migrant worker boss agreed because of the relatives’ sake.
Old man Xie came to the construction site and started doing sanitation. His monthly salary was only 3,000 yuan.
He was unwilling to give in and asked to install a model.
installs molds on the construction site, the lowest is 380 yuan a day, and the higher is 500 yuan a day, mainly depends on your technical level.
Under his persuasion, the migrant worker boss had no choice but to agree.
Of course, at the beginning, Mr. Xie only had 380 a day. In order to earn more money so that his son could marry a wife in the morning, he often worked overtime at night.
After he worked for more than half a year, the hot summer came.
Considering that the temperature at the construction site can sometimes be as high as 40 degrees during the day, the construction site regulations require that you start work at five in the morning, get off work at ten o'clock, go to work at four o'clock in the afternoon, and get off work at eight o'clock in the evening.
Most of the workers complied with this regulation, but Mr. Xie did not.
He often works until 12 o'clock when he gets off work, and then goes to the construction site at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
He worked for more than ten days under the scorching sun.
On the last night, he returned to the dormitory exhausted and said, "It's so hot." After
finished speaking, he fell on the bed motionless.
It wasn’t until the next day, when his co-workers asked him to get up for dinner, that he realized something was wrong.
After the doctor came to check, he declared that Mr. Xie had died.
Although I don’t blame the migrant worker bosses for this matter, I still have a certain responsibility. After negotiation, the migrant worker bosses compensated the deceased 200,000 yuan.
Xie Laohan finally used his life to marry a wife for his second son.
