It was hard to find jobs and they would wait on the roadside until they could find a job.
They had blisters on their legs and on their bodies.
They got paied a very little amount of money and they usually get addicted to such tings like Opium and Cigarettes.
And when they are crictcally ill,people who work there would usually drag them to the roadside or hang them and say that they commited suicide because they could not move and usually pass motion or pee on their clothing and it/they will usually smell very smelly.

In the past,when coolies are sick or ill they will strangle them and they will tie a rop on the ceiling and put the person on it.Or they will leave them on the roadside.When the coolies work they will get blisters.
