Chapter 31: Petty People in Power

  Insufficient balance

  Compared to other places, the crematorium's salary and benefits are relatively good. Even temporary workers can get a single dormitory room. However, this is also an unavoidable situation, after all, the crematorium is located in a remote area, with almost no human activity nearby. During the day, except for those who come to send off the deceased, nobody would come near here, and at night, it's even more deserted. Usually, not only outsiders are wary of this place, but even the employees of the crematorium dare not mention their workplace to others.

  Bao Yulin's situation is very special, and the public security bureau dragged on for a while, missing the annual demobilized soldier allocation time, making Minister Lü feel helpless. Although according to policy, Bao Yulin's situation also belongs to the objects that must be resettled, but there are no indicators in hand, and he can't do anything about it. Letting Bao Yulin go work at the crematorium is just a temporary solution, after all, the crematorium was established not long ago, and nobody wants to go work in that unit, currently they are short-handed. They can only recruit temporary workers first, find a batch of people to do the work, and if it's done well, they'll be converted to regular employees. If Bao Yulin can become a regular employee at the crematorium, it would also mean that the demobilized soldier resettlement work has been implemented.

  After all, Bao Yulin was a man who had come down from the battlefield, and he himself was unscrupulous. Moreover, at that time, the villagers already knew that the country had arranged a job for him and he had gone to work in the town. Now, if he suddenly went back and said that he had been rejected by others, wouldn't he be laughed to death? What's more, if people found out that it was because of his being captured in Vietnam that he was rejected, even with a hundred mouths on his body, he couldn't explain it clearly. Besides, he simply couldn't explain it clearly.

  Bao Yulin felt wronged in his heart about the arrangement of Lv Buzhang, but this was also an unavoidable thing. Bao Yulin himself suffered a bit of grievance, but he couldn't let his own family be ridiculed by others for generations to come. Now he just hoped that the troops could give him an explanation as soon as possible, and even if it wasn't possible, he also hoped that by keeping a low profile, time would dilute everyone's interest in this matter and eventually forget about him.

  。。。。。。

  Bao Guohua didn't know about the hardships Bao Yulin had endured. He only knew that Bao Yulin was now assigned to the Public Security Bureau, became a public servant and could receive a salary.

  To explain why he went to the county again for work, Bao Yulin had no choice but to tell his family that it was a normal job transfer. Because of the confidentiality unit, he couldn't tell them and they couldn't go to his workplace either. He couldn't say that he worked at the crematorium because everyone in the village knew he became a policeman.

  Bao Guohua was reluctant to let Bao Yulin go to work so far away from home, but in his heart, official business was a big deal, especially the Public Security Bureau, which was like the military, both protecting the safety of the people. Of course, there were some secret places that ordinary people couldn't enter. Although he was reluctant, Bao Guohua didn't say anything, just letting Bao Yulin do his job well and not lose face for the Bao family.

  。。。。。。

  After all, it's a small county town, and there aren't many cremations. Bao Yulin is usually taciturn, works diligently, and among the temporary workers, he is the most obedient, earning the leader's appreciation. However, everyone finds it strange that even during his days off, unless he's sending money back home, Bao Yulin rarely goes out, and he even refused the leader's offer to train him to drive, which left everyone perplexed.

  The crematorium leader even had a special conversation with Bao Yulin about this matter, but Bao Yulin said he was carsick and didn't want to drive. Nobody knew that Bao Yulin wasn't unwilling to learn how to drive. At that time, being a driver was a technical job, if not for Bao Yulin's good performance, this task wouldn't have fallen on him. However, Bao Yulin didn't dare, because he attended high school in the county and had many classmates and friends, who would all curiously look at the hearse when it went out. Bao Yulin was afraid of being seen by his classmates and friends, if this got back to his family, things would be troublesome.

  Bao Yulin knew that this matter could not be hidden from his family forever, but he hoped to wait until his work was stable and when everyone was no longer so concerned about the war before telling them. At least it would make it easier for his family to accept.

  。。。。。。

  Bao Yulin thought about how to minimize the impact of his affair on his family, but he never expected that someone would want everyone to know about it.

  Since Bao Yuzhen snatched the position from Bao Yulin and smoothly entered the Public Security Bureau, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Although he knew that as long as Bao Guoqing was there, his work would be resolved sooner or later, he didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly. What's more interesting is that this position was originally given to Bao Yulin. As soon as he thought of how Bao Yulin had snatched the position from him when he joined the army, and now he ended up laughing in the end, his heart felt extremely pleased. If he hadn't been short on time, he would have run back to Xiangshui Village at that moment and shown off in front of everyone.

  Bao Yuzhen and Bao Yulin are different, Bao Yulin is retired from the army, so he doesn't need to learn about team formation and gun usage, after placement, he can go directly to work at the police station. While Bao Yuzhen was recruited from a local place to join the public security bureau, he must receive three months of short-term training, at least learning team movements and gun usage.

  These three months may seem long or short, but it's still very hard to fully master these basic skills. In order to strengthen management, no one is allowed to leave the camp during training. Usually, Bao Yucheng was so tired every day that he didn't have the energy to think about anything else, just like a grandson.

  Three months have passed and Bao Yuchen has been smoothly reassigned to the Panshi Town Police Station. After a one-year probationary period, he can be formally converted into a national civil servant.

  Bao Yuzhen learned from Zhang Suo's mouth that Bao Yulin had been dismissed, and he deliberately went to find fault with Bao Yulin. After inquiring around, he finally found out that Bao Yulin had not returned to Xiangshui Village, but had gone to the county crematorium as a temporary worker. Bao Yuzhen thought that Bao Yulin was working at the crematorium because he was afraid that his own affairs would be known by the villagers, and that people would point fingers at him, making it impossible for his whole family to hold their heads up. Recalling the time when he was a soldier, Bao Yuzhen felt that it was time for revenge.

  Early that morning, Bao Yuchen took advantage of the break to return to Xiangshui Village. After entering the village, he deliberately ignored others and rushed straight to Bao Guohua's home. He knew that when the villagers saw him wearing a police uniform, they would definitely follow him to Bao Guohua's house to watch the excitement, and the more people there were, the better the effect would be.

  "Bao Guohua, I heard Bao Yulin is back to work and has a salary now. Don't you think your family should pay me the dog money?"

  Bao Guohua was surprised to see Bao Yucheng wearing a police uniform when he came back, but he didn't take his words seriously. Although everyone in the village knew that Bao Yulin had eaten Bao Yucheng's dog, no one admitted it when they came out. Who made Bao Yucheng's family so fierce? Besides, he had no evidence, and Bao Guohua believed that no one in the village would side with Bao Yucheng.

  "I told Bao Yuchen, you can't just go around saying things like that, who said our family's Bao Yulin ate your family's dog?" Although Bao Yuchen was wearing a police uniform, Bao Guohua wasn't afraid, after all his own son was also a policeman.

  "Don't pretend you don't know, I can tell you, I'm a police officer now. If you're not honest, be careful or I'll arrest all of you." Bao Yuchen's voice was loud. It turned out that he had also come to cause trouble before, but didn't dare to make too much noise, after all, Bao Yulin was in the military at that time, and no one knew if there would be any trouble by provoking a military family member.

  "Bao Yuzhen, I'm telling you, don't come scaring people just because you're wearing a tiger skin, my brother is also a police officer, if there's evidence, he'll take you away!" Bao Yufeng said this with a tough tone, she didn't believe Bao Yuzhen could do anything to her, and even thought that Bao Yuzhen was just borrowing the clothes to come back and scare people, who in the village didn't know what kind of person Bao Yuzhen was.

  "Hahaha! Your brother is a cop? You're killing me! Many people in the village were watching the commotion, and Bao Yucheng was happy to see this effect: "Don't be afraid to tell you, at that time your brother wore two days of police uniform, but how about it? The Public Security Bureau investigated and found out that your brother had become a prisoner of war in Vietnam and became a traitor, and he has been expelled! He is now working as a temporary worker at the county crematorium, carrying dead bodies!" Bao Yucheng felt especially comfortable when he said this: "Ah, thanks to your brother being expelled, otherwise how could I wear this police uniform? It was him who robbed me of my chance to join the army back then, but now the wheel has turned and I've taken it back!"

  "Get out of my sight!" Bao Guohua, who was standing by the door, suddenly pulled out a broadsword from behind the door and swung it at Bao Yuchen's waist. Bao Yuchen's words had infuriated him.

  Bao Yuzhen had been guarding against this move all along, how could he be hit by it? He immediately jumped back and retreated several steps: "I'm telling you, I'm too lazy to bother with you, if you don't believe me, go to the county crematorium and take a look for yourself! And while you're at it, tell Bao Yulin that our family's dog isn't so easy to eat!"

  Bao Yuzhen left, but his words were heard by everyone. For a time, the village of Rongshui was filled with rumors and gossip. Bao YuLin's mother fell ill that very night.

  Bao Guohua was clear that although Bao Yuchen was not a good thing, he would not dare to speak randomly. In any case, he had to go to the county crematorium to take a look and confirm this matter!
