Zhang Shucheng came to Minning Town and served as the town secretary, and recommended Defu as the acting mayor. Defu suggested that he solve the problem of unpaid wages first, and then rectify the team. The three-level pumping station that was suspended due to the misappropriation of project funds is also a major issue to be resolved. Zhang Shucheng opened the door to receive petitioners. His sincere attitude and previous grassroots work experience made him trust the villagers. The town issued a batch of overdue project funds, but Defu put Debao's company at the back. Debao felt wronged and angry, thinking that Defu ignored his life and death for his own political achievements. Zhang Shucheng's village committee team held a symposium to help everyone strengthen their faith and reissued the arrears of allowances. Defu talked to Debao and told him that Ma Hanshui drew lots for the brothers to go to school.
