Feng Qingqing had already mapped out a detailed strategy for how to handle this situation.
First, she and her husband still had to live in this production brigade, and since they would eventually need to split from the family, she couldn't afford to have a bad reputation—especially her personally. Second, since she didn't care about the brigade leader's opinion, she had to avoid leaving the majority of the team members with the impression that she was overbearing. Finally, as an educated youth herself, by appearing reasonable and level-headed, she would only make Jiang Yun’s petty and narrow-minded behavior look even worse in the eyes of the others.
Observing the reactions of the team members, the brigade leader knew that, at the very least, he had to make a show of taking a stand: "Educated Youth Feng, it is good that you have this level of awareness; you truly live up to being an intellectual from a big city. Educated Youth Jiang, the brigade would like you to apologize to Educated Youth Feng now. You don't have any objections to that, do you?"
