Yunyi quickly dried her hands and ran out of the office. Just then, Doctor Qiu arrived and asked, "What happened?"
The messenger was somewhat incoherent. "The lumberyard... there's been an accident! Some educated youth were carrying logs."
Yunyi had heard from Qiao Wenyu and the others that some educated youth from poor families would secretly go to the lumberyard to carry logs and earn money during the winter. They could earn one yuan a day, a tempting prospect for many.
It wasn't an easy job. Besides the cold, the main problem was that the mountain was covered in snow, making it easy to slip and fall.
If such thick logs fell on someone, the consequences were too frightening to imagine.
In fact, the Agricultural Reclamation Group strictly prohibited educated youth from secretly carrying logs at the lumberyard. If an accident occurred, no one could bear the responsibility, as people indeed lost their lives at the lumberyard every winter.
