Chapter 243
Deputy Director Li and second uncle Zhao were elementary school classmates and the two have always had a good relationship since they were young. A few years ago, when they competed in both literature and martial arts, they were also active members. Li joined the Public Security Bureau and became the Deputy Director whereas Zhao joined the Factory Revolutionary Committee.
He smiled and nodded to Uncle Zhao, “You’re trying to pull this trick on me? It’s okay. What’s the need for all this? Haha.”
The two made a few jokes lightly until second uncle Zhao sighed, “Brother, I have to count on you for Jianshe.”
Deputy Director Li knew that it was about Zhao Jianshe’s business. After all, he was the one who sent Han Qinghua back to the Commune.
Before Zhao Anpin didn’t even need to think about it as he would just pop over to the commune and talk about it with Sun Zhuowen. He would just send some ‘benefits’ and have Jianshe return to be educated.
It was initially a very simple matter, but who knew that Han Qingsong would not agree with him and even wanted to sentence Jianshe to five years of labour.
The Zhao family panicked all of a sudden and wanted to bring the child home.
Second uncle Zhao’s elder brother and sister-in-law also complained to him. He was the one who said that it was fine to rely on his connections to bring his nephew out of confinement. Han Qingsong’s younger brother was still in the County, so he wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t let him go. At most, Jianshe would be returned after a good scolding and a few days of arrest.
He even tried to help Han Qingsong, the dense man, think about ways to get his brother back. He was afraid that Han Qingsong, an upright soldier, would not know how to be flexible and would not dare to come to the County to plead for his brother’s release.
They discussed sending Han Qinghua back so that Han Qingsong didn’t have to come to the county to plead for mercy. They would acquiesce with having Han Qinghua being reeducated at home.
As long as they didn’t sentence his brother, Zhao Jianshe wouldn’t be sentenced either.
After sending Han Qinghua back and claiming Zhao Jianshe, things would be settled and everyone would be satisfied.
In fact, this was a trivial matter in itself. He just wanted to act without the other party coming over to plead them so that in some way or another, Han Qingsong would owe him a favour.
They also mentioned Sun Zhuowen specifically that Zhao Jianshe belonged to the County. He was supposed to be sentenced in the County and should not be doing so in the Commune.
Who would have thought that… that were actually such unreasonable people in this world. Dear Gods…
Deputy Director Li didn’t sit back down and continued to walk out. Zhao Anpin followed him with the wine.
Deputy Director Li said, “This Han Qingsong is not simple.”
“What’s so hard about it? Brother, you are the Director; wouldn’t you be able to pressure him into it? It’s just a matter of words,” Zhao Anpin said.
Deputy Director Li turned his head and looked around and realized that there was no one around. He whispered, “Deputy Director. Han Qingsong is too.”(2)
(T/N: To clear things up, Han Qingsong holds two titles— one is the Director of the Commune’s Public Security Bureau and the Deputy Director of the County’s PSB. )
“Hah, can he compare with you? His Deputy position is just a nominal name. Didn’t someone say it was just to raise wages for him. This kid is probably greedy for money, so why don’t we just give him 200 Yuan?”
Deputy Director Li shook his head, “It’s not that simple; the other one wants to suck up to him too.”
Deputy Director Li didn’t tell Zhao Anpian the truth. Even if he didn’t agree to send Han Qinghua back to the commune, it was useless. The other Deputy Director Gao wanted to be on Han Qingsong’s good side. Even the old Director was doing his best not to offend him as well.
