Wu Bo eventually found out about this. After learning that Director Yang was targeting Lin Ying, Wu Bo went to talk to him.

It's unclear whether Lin Ying's calling the police had an effect, or whether Wu Bo's conversation had a positive impact. Everything remained peaceful until the holiday.

Before the holiday, Director Yang, who had never shown his face to Lin Ying before, suddenly came to Lin Ying with a young girl.

"Comrade Lin Ying, let me introduce you. This is our commune's newly recruited cashier. She will be taking your place starting today. It's not right to keep using a temporary worker for such an important position as cashier."

You should hand over the responsibilities to her today; you don't need to come in starting tomorrow.

Lin Ying put down her pen and asked, "Where is Secretary Wu?"

Director Yang looked smug: "Secretary Wu is away and probably won't be back for at least a month. I'm in charge of the commune now."

Lin Ying smiled and said, "In that case, alright."

Hearing Lin Ying's agreement, Director Yang said smugly, "Little Yang, make sure the handover is done properly and that you don't let some of our commune's predecessors take it without you even knowing."

Lin Ying ignored him.

After a thorough handover, I left.

Director Yang was extremely pleased to see Lin Ying leave. However, half an hour later, Lin Ying returned with several people.

"Take these apart. Put out the fire in the radiator with water, then remove the radiator. Be careful, it'll be hot."

The boy named Xiao Yang panicked when he saw this: "Hey, what are you doing? Who told you to know all this?"

Lin Ying laughed: "Didn't your uncle tell you that these things belong to me? When I leave, I will naturally take these things with me."

Xiao Yang's first reaction was: "What nonsense are you talking about? What uncle?"

Lin Ying snorted coldly: "You probably don't know, but I studied medicine. Outsiders might not be able to tell the difference, but I can tell at a glance that you are related by blood. Director Yang and you share the same surname. He couldn't have had a daughter as old as you at his age."

After saying that, Lin Ying said to the few fellow villagers she had brought, "Uncle, don't be afraid, these things are my personal property, I'm not afraid of them. You can dismantle them with peace of mind."

After listening to Lin Ying's words, the group got busy again.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang hurriedly went to find Director Yang.

When Director Yang arrived, he saw that the boards inside had already been moved out, and the stove had also been carried out.

"Who gave you permission to move it!"

Lin Ying came out from inside: "What, Director Yang doesn't know this thing belongs to me?"

"You, this thing belongs to our commune, so of course it's ours! Put it down right now."

Lin Ying laughed out loud: "Shouldn't you ask the Second Machinery Factory if they agree to this? Shouldn't you ask the Border Defense Army if they're willing?"

Director Yang's eyes widened: "You, don't try to intimidate me with this. Even though you're a military wife, you still need evidence for everything you do. You say this is yours, so why is it in our commune?"

"Are you just being unreasonable? Are you sure you're going to keep my radiator closed and not give it to me?"

"If you want to take it, then show me the evidence."

"Who is it, acting so arrogantly?" Zhao Qinghuai said as he walked in from outside.

Behind him were two soldiers carrying guns.

Lin Ying smiled when she saw Zhao Qinghuai return: "You're back?"

Zhao Qinghuai nodded: "Are you alright?"

Lin Ying shook her head: "No, he wouldn't dare."

After saying that, Lin Ying took out a document and said to Director Yang, "This is the certificate we wrote before the installation, and Director Wu signed it. Would you like to take a look?"

Director Yang didn't even look at it and said, "What's there to see? Secretary Wu isn't here right now, so who can prove whether the document is real or fake?"

Zhao Qinghuai was amused by the man's shamelessness: "You didn't even bother to look at the agreement? Who gave you the audacity to be so arrogant?"

Director Yang, however, didn't care: "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're a soldier. It's no use who comes to this!"

"As luck would have it, my presence is actually quite useful."

As he spoke, Jiang He walked over from outside.

Zhao Qinghuai explained, "Factory Director Jiang came to our house to deliver New Year's gifts to you. He heard you got a car and was really curious. When he heard I was coming to see you, he followed me. I heard you arguing with someone inside, so I came in first."

Jiang He smiled at Lin Ying: "I've come at just the right time. That steam-powered cart is yours, isn't it? I'll have to take a good look at it after I've sorted things out here."

After speaking, Jiang He looked at Director Yang and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang He, and I am the director of the Second Machinery Factory. I can testify that this heating stove belongs to Comrade Lin Ying. In fact, all products produced by the Second Machinery Factory have a serial number, which is on the back of the stove. This set was specially reserved for Comrade Lin Ying by our factory. Except for number five, which was a prototype, the finished products started from number six."

"And Comrade Lin Ying's set is number six. You can check if there's a red sticker on the back with the number six printed on it."

Seeing that Director Yang was still trying to argue, Jiang He said directly, "If you still don't believe me, the heating systems produced by the Second Machinery Factory have a five-year warranty. Therefore, every customer who buys a heating system is registered with their real name. I can have my assistant bring the registration book over to verify with you."

Having said all that, what else could Director Yang say? "Since that's the case, then you can take your things away."

Director Yang didn't necessarily want to keep the heating system; rather, one of the reasons he deliberately let Lin Ying leave was because Lin Ying had sent him to the police station back then.

He'd been seething with anger for over half a month. Now that he'd finally gotten rid of her, he could finally act like a tyrant here. But then he was told that the reason it was so warm here was because the thing belonged to someone else.
