The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to turn pale, everyone rose early. Professor Dong first busied himself with cooking to feed the five mountain dwellers. After breakfast, Fifth Grandpa arranged a departure time and location with them, then watched them depart up the mountain. Afterward, Fifth Grandpa drove with his daughter-in-law to Lijiawan to meet the others.
This time, it wasn't just Chunsheng and Chunyang from Lijiawan who entered the space; there were also numerous relatives from their mother's family and friends. Professor Dong and Shuishui couldn't understand how Fifth Grandpa and Jiang Huashu had managed to gather so many people, all with their families. This time, there were over a hundred people, crammed into a packed car. After a long journey of over four hours, the car finally arrived at its destination. The fourth group also successfully entered the space.
According to the old rules, everyone first learned how to use all the supplies in the house, then had lunch, and finally was assigned a room. Professor Dong was now very familiar with these procedures and felt like a tour guide. She only lacked a small loudspeaker and a small flag.
Jiang Huashu said that after recruiting all these people this time, he would not continue recruiting for the time being. After all, with so many families gone at once, the surrounding villages would be sharing information with each other. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to prioritize stability.
The story about Guan Cuicui's brother-in-law and the female henchman had spread throughout the commune, but what could be done? No one dared to intervene! Despite her brother-in-law's constant claims of working for the people and his resounding slogans, what had he actually done? Like a rat in a rice jar, this guy only got up early when he saw the benefits. Such people were everywhere during the movement, doing nothing but rising through flattery. Furthermore, Jiang Huashu investigated his situation through the black market's messenger network and wrote to his eldest brother, Jiang Shaoming, with the details. On the one hand, the operator might overhear over the phone, which was not safe; on the other hand, there was too much to explain in a few words. Therefore, writing a letter was the safest option.
The only person in the commune who Jiang Huashu felt threatened was Guan Cuicui's brother-in-law. However, Jiang Huashu hadn't touched him for days, not out of fear or apprehension, but rather a desire to thoroughly uncover the truth behind him. The truth has now been revealed: Guan Cuicui's brother-in-law's arrogance stems from his close friendship with a powerful provincial official. How he acquired this patron remains unknown, but it's certain this person holds Guan Cuicui's brother-in-law in high esteem. However, from now on, this brother-in-law's arrogance will likely be extinguished. When Jiang Huashu learned the name of his "patron," he knew for sure—he was one of the master's most admired disciples, and had already been apprehended. Now it was the brother-in-law's turn. Jiang Huashu was determined to eliminate all the misfits in the commune. Only then could he focus on leading the commune towards prosperity and achieving a moderately prosperous society.
