Chapter 151 Things Are Not Simple, I Don't Dare to Let Lin Han Know (2/2)

She didn't know why, but even though she was still a little flustered, she felt especially at ease as long as Gu Qizheng was by her side.

It's as if even if the sky were to fall, they would still be safe.

Gu Qizheng took a Chinese medicine packet that Grandma Jiang had prepared in advance, boiled water and poured it into a basin. After the water cooled down naturally, the Chinese medicine packet was almost soaked.

He took off Lin Han's shoes and put her small feet into the water. The water, dyed the color of the medicinal herbs, covered Lin Han's feet, and a warm feeling rose from the soles of her feet.

Soaking her feet seemed to wash away all her fatigue, and soon Lin Han began to feel drowsy.

When the time came, Gu Qizheng dried her feet with a towel, helped her lie in bed, and waited until she fell asleep before going downstairs.

Downstairs, Grandpa Gu and Gu Huaiming discussed countermeasures, and Gu Qizheng poured out the foot bath water and sat down as well.

In an ordinary family compound.

In the afternoon, people from the Political Department came to visit the family compound to inquire about Lin Han's design of maternity clothes.

As more and more people asked, everyone began to realize that something was wrong.

"Comrade, is there something wrong with the maternity wear designed by Comrade Lin Han? Why is the Political Department involved in this?"

Because the matter is still under investigation, the political department officials were not at liberty to disclose further information, so they only mentioned work-related reasons and did not elaborate further.

Ever since the letter of complaint was sent to the Political Department, Li Qiao has been keeping a close eye on the situation in the family compound.

After training in the afternoon, she returned to her aunt's house. Her aunt told her that in the afternoon, comrades from the Political Department had come to ask Lin Han about designing maternity clothes. She couldn't hide the smile on her excited face.

"Auntie, what did they say?"

"They didn't say much, just asked if I knew about Lin Han designing maternity clothes for military wives, what my opinion was on it, what Lin Han usually said in the family compound, and who she had the most contact with. That's about it."

Li Qiao felt that Lin Han was definitely doomed this time.

The fact that the political department is investigating her in such a large-scale manner suggests that she is not far from being kicked out of the family compound.

When Wang Ru arrived, Li Qiao immediately told her the news.

Wang Ru seemed even more excited than she was.

"Hmph, let Lin Han steal my thunder, she'll be in for it."

If I don't make a move, she'll think I'm someone to be trifled with.

Li Qiao pouted. She was the one who wrote the whistleblower letter, so how did it become Wang Ru's achievement?

Wang Ru is always trying to take credit in front of her aunt. Even though it was Wang Ru who cleaned the room after returning from training, she insisted on saying that she took time out of her busy schedule to help her aunt clean it.

Li Qiao is really no match for Wang Ru in this respect.

"Sister Wang Ru, do you think Lin Han will be kicked out of the family compound?"

Wang Ru was full of confidence.

"Of course it will. Don't you know how fierce the struggle against capitalists is right now? Anyone who gets involved with capitalists doesn't have a good ending."

Li Qiao nodded. She had heard that several capitalists who had been sent down to the countryside were still being held in the cowshed in their village.

If Lin Han were sent to their village during the Cultural Revolution, she would definitely write home and ask them to "take good care" of Lin Han.

After learning the news, Wang Ru left Zhang Qiang's house humming a song.

Walking through the residential compound, I saw several women wearing maternity wear designed by Lin Han chatting together.

She couldn't help but go over and interrupt.

"You still dare to wear these clothes? Lin Han has been labeled as capitalist because of designing maternity wear. Aren't you afraid of being implicated by her?"

"What? Capitalism? How could clothes be related to capitalism?"
