Originally, this matter could have been resolved by simply firing Ding Lei, but the problem was that the power supply bureau called the brigade in their village.

The power bureau called the village brigade and said that Ding Hai was expelled from the unit for embezzlement and asked his family to go to the company police station to pick him up. The person who answered the phone at the brigade didn't believe it.

It is said that Ding Hai has not been home for half a year and has gone to Shanghai to work for a big boss.

The person on the phone from the power supply bureau was also confused, and quickly said that it was not right, and Ding Hai was squatting at the police station next door! Both parties were confused by this communication.

Later, when the characteristics were mentioned, the people from the village brigade headquarters realized that this kid was not Ding Hai. Ding Hai lost his left arm because of participating in the war. He was Ding Hai's biological brother Ding Lei.

The people from the power bureau had to confirm it again and again before they had to believe it. The Ding family was so bold that they even dared to cheat the power bureau.

In less than ten minutes, the news that Ding Lei had replaced his brother at work and had now been fired for dishonesty spread like wildfire throughout the village. The villagers were buzzing with discussion, some shaking their heads and sighing in pity for him, while others chuckled privately, believing it was retribution.

Less than an hour later, the power supply bureau called again, saying that after research, the company had decided to fine Ding Lei 1,000 yuan for using someone else's name to work in their company, otherwise he would be sentenced.

In those days, without the ability to compare photos online, the only proof was a flimsy household registration page and a letter of introduction. Cases of people taking on jobs and attending school were rampant and commonplace. If they weren't caught, it was fine. But if they were, they would generally be dealt with severely, with the severity of the offenses determining the severity of the situation.

Regarding Ding Lei's impersonation, the leaders of the power supply bureau did not dare to take the matter too seriously because of the reputation of his brother Ding Hai, a retired soldier.

Back at the Ding family, Mrs. Sun learned of her eldest son's arrest only after a group of onlookers arrived at their home to inform them. She was terrified. She had hoped her eldest son would bring honor to the family by securing a stable job. Finally freed from the peasant life, he had escaped poverty, but within two years, he had become the laughingstock of the village, and she herself had become the subject of criticism.

She went into the house, pulled out the money box from the bottom of the chest, and counted out a thousand yuan. Ten yuan was the largest denomination these days, so a thousand yuan was a large bundle. Looking at the huge bundle, Old Lady Sun felt incredibly distressed. But there was no other way. She had to save her son first; she could ask the kid for the money later.

So, Old Lady Sun and her eldest daughter-in-law rushed to the county police station with the money and paid it. After a while, the formalities were completed and Ding Lei was taken out of the police station and taken home.

After returning home, Old Lady Sun went into the house and lay down without eating dinner. Several of her daughters-in-law took turns going into the house to persuade her to eat, but the old lady refused to eat.

The next morning, Old Mrs. Sun pulled herself together, called her little grandson who was playing at the door of her house, and called the whole family over, saying that she had something to say.

After everyone gathered, Old Lady Sun announced that the entire family would go to Kyoto to find their youngest son, Ding Hai. It had been so long since they had tortured him, he'd probably forgotten about his family. They were going to Kyoto to "remind" him that he had a whole family to support and couldn't let him "get away with it."

Old Lady Sun spent the night thinking a lot. This was the first time she had "bowed" to Ding Hai. If he had been more sensible, they would all have been fine. If he didn't meet her requirements, don't blame her for turning her back on him. After all, he wasn't her biological son, so what?
