Xiaofeng showed her identity to Wang Er and her mother and got their sympathy and support. Therefore, as his wife, Xiaofeng organized farmers to boycott donations in Xiaowangzhuang, set up party organizations, posted slogans everywhere, and carried out anti-rape activities, which fulfilled the charity of Wang Er and Zhuang widow.
