Ding Lei attended classes for a total of two years and three months, but the time he spent cheating wasn't very long. He was genuinely afraid at first, and maintained his innocence for over six months. His cronies constantly brainwashed him, and after a while, he wanted to give it a try. To put it bluntly, he couldn't resist the temptation, and he gave it a try and died.
At first, no one could imagine him embezzling money because he worked at the power supply bureau as his younger brother, and everyone thought he was a veteran. Even the director was surprised, so he assigned him to such an important job as managing the warehouse without even conducting an inspection.
What's in the power supply bureau's warehouse? Mostly wires and cables, along with some worthless accessories like utility poles, which Ding Lei disdains.
At first, he'd pick up small parts and accessories from meters and switches and take them out. The county power bureau was quite large, and the warehouse was huge, with plenty of stuff. Without regular clearances, it was hard to tell. Plus, sometimes perishable items could be reported as damaged, so Ding Lei felt comfortable taking them.
He took them out and gave them to his friends in his wife's hometown. He took seven parts of the money and his friends took three parts. After all, selling these things was illegal in Dingxi.
In order to trick him, his friends gave him all the money they earned from the sales, five or ten dollars at a time.
When I first divided the money, I held the ten yuan in my hand in disbelief. My monthly salary was only twenty-four yuan and seventy-eight cents. Every month, I had to give twenty yuan to my mother, leaving me with the remaining four yuan and seventy-eight cents. My eldest son didn't go to school and often asked me for money every month, so I had to give at least one yuan and eighty cents a month. I kept one yuan for myself, and the remaining two yuan and seventy-eight cents were saved for my wife.
This gave him ten yuan, which was equivalent to half a month's salary. Ding Lei was afraid he was dreaming and pinched himself.
It hurts, it’s not a dream.
During my lunch break, I went to the black market in the county town to buy some food coupons. After get off work, I went straight to the state-owned restaurant, picked up some meat and vegetables, bought two and put them in a lunch box to take home.
When he got home, he took it straight back to his room and quietly ate it all with his wife and children, not giving any to the grandmother. He also told his nine-year-old second child not to tell anyone, saying that grandmother was the first person he couldn't tell, because if he did, it would be gone.
In less than a year, Ding Lei, who had tasted the sweetness, gradually developed from a small boss to a big boss.
In fact, Mrs. Sun had gradually noticed something was amiss with her eldest son. Every month this year, he'd find an excuse to visit his father-in-law's house. He'd go, and he'd always bring in large bags. Although he'd hand over most of the money each month, Mrs. Sun had promised him only the whole amount, and they'd keep the rest for themselves. This was what they'd agreed to when they were about to start work, armed with Ding Hai's letter of introduction.
So every time Ding Lei went to his father-in-law's house, the things he took out were all bought with the money he had saved up. No matter how distressed Mrs. Sun was, she would not stop him. She understood this point.
You should know that his father-in-law's attitude towards Ding Lei was very bad before. Not only did they not serve him food, they even refused to let his precious grandson into the house. However, his eldest daughter-in-law was a good person. Since she came into the family, she never had an argument with the old lady. She always obeyed her. With her good example, the second and third daughters-in-law who were married in also followed suit.
But now that their family was on the rise, their promising eldest son would no longer look down on him when he visited his father-in-law's house. Old Mrs. Sun didn't even need to ask her son, because she knew that only because she treated her eldest son well now would he be willing to bring things to his father-in-law's house frequently.
So how was Ding Lei discovered?
