In June, Shen Yunfang suddenly received two letters from Gaijiatun, one written by Dashuan, the other by Uncle Shen.
Dashuan's letter talked about family matters, discussing food and land, and included some village gossip. At the beginning of the month, the village accountant, Li Hongjun, was arrested, reportedly after someone tipped off the authorities about him embezzling the state's collective grain. There was even a special investigative team sent down to look into the matter, saying the situation was very severe and the authorities intended to handle it strictly. It looked like the accountant, Li Hongjun, wasn't getting out anytime soon, and now his wife and children go to the brigade every day crying, claiming his innocence.
