However, to immediately assume the worst of others is not only a matter of mindset, but also largely a matter of jealousy.
Gradually, news about Lin Ying's problems spread throughout the forestry district.
It gradually spread to boy bands as well.
The news also reached the five people who had previously learned carpentry from Master Amu. Because they were dissatisfied with Master Amu's secretive practices, they went to the regimental headquarters to cause trouble.
As a result, not only was he reprimanded, but he was also deprived of his carpentry training and sent back to his unit.
Everyone had heard about how the commander acquired a table saw from the border defense regiment. Because the table saw performed a great service, the regimental commander awarded it a reward. Later, they even got an electric table saw, and that saw is still in the logging area, becoming a mainstay.
Suddenly, the higher-ups awarded the military wife two honorary banners.
At the time, everyone felt it was a huge waste. If that honor had been given to them, they would have definitely received a third-class merit award.
Two third-class merits in a row, who wouldn't want that?
Now they've come up with that pedal wheel thing. This thing is an absolutely amazing invention compared to the previous table saw, because it's not just used on farms, but also in their logging operations to haul timber.
It is said that this has already begun to spread to various places.
If this thing were in their hands, they could be promoted to battalion commander.
Therefore, these quick-thinking individuals were naturally interested when they heard that several people were needed to learn carpentry.
However, to their surprise, after more than a month of learning, all they did every day was operate the large saw and plane wood. They hadn't learned anything. Naturally, they were frustrated. But then they thought, at least they had a chance, and compared to cutting down trees on the mountain, their work was much easier. Compared to others, they could be considered lucky.
Of course, in their view, perhaps those people who can make those things must have studied carpentry since they were young. They've only been learning for a few days.
Who knew that the carpenter would treat a woman so differently? They originally thought that carpenters should be like them, sawing a large saw every day, but it turns out that's not the case at all.
It was the carpenter who deliberately didn't teach them.
After making a scene, they hadn't gained anything, so naturally they felt even more resentful.
Therefore, upon hearing that the woman learning the craft from the carpenter was of poor character and had questionable personal conduct, they couldn't resist any longer.
This time, the matter even reached the commander.
Because they felt their battalion commander was incompetent and their regimental commander was biased.
Incited by these five men, a large group of people marched into the commander's office.
The forestry commander had just hung up the phone with the border defense command and was shaking his head helplessly as he said to his guard, "If it weren't for Comrade Lin's class background, I would definitely have brought her to our forestry farm. With her here, we wouldn't have to worry about not completing our annual quota. Tell me, what a waste to send such a talented person to farm!"
Guard Xin chuckled and said, "You can't say that. You know he's a talented person, and they naturally know that too. He's not just a skilled carpenter. Don't forget, his main job is also a doctor who heals the sick. Before the New Year, if it weren't for him, how could everyone's eyes have recovered so easily?"
Besides, she's the wife of a regimental commander, a military spouse. If you bring her here, what position would be appropriate for her?
The forestry commander said casually, "Forget it, now that we three brother units are all benefiting from it. But I can see that they don't intend to make a manual saw for us. If they could take this matter to heart, that would be even better."
Just as Guard Xin was about to speak, he heard someone outside shout, "Report!"
The two exchanged a glance, and Officer Xin hurried over to open the door, only to find more than thirty people standing there.
"We want to see the leader."
"Yes, we want to see the commander."
The commander hurried out, his face serene as he was in a good mood from their conversation: "You were looking for me?"
When the commander came out, everyone started talking at once, and the more they talked, the uglier the commander's face became.
Finally, the commander could no longer hold back: "Shut up!"
These people thought their complaints had been taken seriously by their superiors and that they would receive "fair treatment," but to their surprise, the commander simply looked at them and said:
"I only have one question: how did you know I was here?"
