Even though it's winter, the news spread very quickly. Such an important matter, especially involving Zhang Hui, of course, it had to be broadcasted widely.
It's certainly not enough to just spread it locally; letters need to be written back home, and during market days, the matter is brought up with the intellectual youth from the neighboring teams and communes.
Within just a few days, not only did the people in the commune know, but quite a few people in the county town also heard about it.
Of course, everyone united to keep it from Zhang Tao and Zhang Hui. They were also worried that if these two found out, they might take action against them, as these two were not ordinary ruthless people.
Zhang Juan occasionally went out for some shopping, and she certainly heard the rumors but didn't warn Zhang Hui and the others.
