Xu Qinghuan heard Qiao Xinyu and the others talk about Zhang Tieshan's accusation against Jiang Xingye for not working. The next morning, before work began, Xu Qinghuan went to the brigade office.
Today no one mentioned Jiang Xingye, but after the tasks were assigned, Xu Qinghuan asked, "Captain Zhang, I heard that you have strong opinions about Comrade Jiang Xingye not showing up for work?"
Zhang Tieshan was the type of despicable person who, last night, when Qing Xiao noticed someone leaving the zhiqing dormitory, Xu Qinghuan was unsure if someone went to the commune to lodge a complaint.
No matter what, she needed to defuse the situation preemptively.
"It's the harvest season now. I heard that in the past, during harvests, if it rained heavily for long periods, half a year's hard work could go to waste. We can't just stand by and watch that happen."
