Chapter 152 Wang Ru Stirs Up Trouble (1/2)

Wang Ru, acting as if she knew everything, mercifully explained things to these uneducated rural women who had accompanied the military.

"It's glorious to endure hardship. You wear these clothes for pleasure, so how is that not capitalism?"

The pregnant women were so frightened that they rushed home to change their clothes.

I ran into Liu Li on the way. "What are you all rushing off to?"

"You don't know yet, do you? Lin Han has been labeled as a capitalist because of her design of this maternity dress."

Now, people who wear maternity clothes are considered hedonists.

We need to go back and change our clothes quickly.

Liu Li found it unbelievable; how could this be considered capitalism?

Lin Han designed this dress with good intentions, to alleviate the difficulties faced by pregnant women, to help and unite the masses, and to address the urgent needs of the people. It was clearly a good thing, so how did it become distorted?

"Hey, you guys don't also think Lin Han is a capitalist, do you?"

Although those women were afraid of being labeled as capitalists, they didn't think Lin Han had done anything wrong.

I thought I could make do with these maternity clothes before, but once I wore them, I really didn't want to wear those loose and ill-fitting clothes anymore.

"Of course we don't think Lin Han did anything wrong, but the political department came to investigate this afternoon, so this matter is probably not that simple."

The group hurried home, and Liu Li frowned as she began to think.

Why did things turn out this way?

Who exactly reported Lin Han?

What did these pregnant military wives do to deserve this?

She couldn't figure it out, so in the end she could only head home.

The next day, rumors spread widely in the family compound that Lin Han was a capitalist, even though the Political Department's decision had not yet been made.

But last night, Wang Ru and Li Qiao went around telling people that Lin Han had been reported and that Lin Han was a capitalist.

Now even the toddlers in the family compound who have just learned to talk are babbling about capitalists and Lin Han.

No one in the old cadres' family compound where Grandma Jiang lived was spreading rumors, but these people all knew a little bit of gossip.

Some people remained hesitant, while others rushed to the house to inquire about the situation.

Grandpa Zhao was one of them.

He rushed over and pulled up a stool to sit next to Grandpa Gu.

"What exactly happened? How did I get labeled a capitalist?"

Grandpa Gu glared at him, annoyed, but still told the truth.

“My granddaughter-in-law’s father is indeed a capitalist in Shanghai.”

"Huh? Is that so?"

Grandpa Zhao paced anxiously back and forth in the courtyard.

Old Master Gu was so annoyed that he wanted to throw him out.

"Could you sit down? I'm getting dizzy from spinning around."

Grandpa Zhao frantically grabbed his hair, "It's alright, she's already married to your grandson, she's part of your family now, and she doesn't have much to do with her father's family anymore."

This isn't unprecedented; there are also military families with questionable backgrounds. As long as they pass the political vetting, there aren't many problems.

Old Master Gu was well aware of this, but Lin Han and Gu Qizheng's marriage was rather unusual.
