Zhou Jiao didn't think too poorly of people, she simply didn't trust Zhang Qingshan. There were many reasons why, and the most obvious one was simply this.
Zhang Yuntao's father, the original commune secretary, was promoted and transferred away. However, the next official seemed to have some strange idea and during the year when the family returned home for a visit, he casually mentioned that as captain, Zhang Qingshan had been doing an outstanding job and decided to transfer him to the commune.
What a joke!
Without the support from Old Captain, how outstanding could he be? At the time, Zhang Guoqing's face darkened, and he immediately served tea to send the guest away. Afterwards, the matter was left unresolved.
And now, given how much time had passed, Zhang Qingshan must surely have learned about it; otherwise, why hadn't he sent any letters before?
