After comparing them, Lin Han decided to give up and simply asked Fangfang to order a pair of gloves from Taobao that looked very similar to the ones bought at the local supply and marketing cooperative. They would be easy to use and wouldn't be noticed.

Grandma Jiang was delighted. Her hands would inevitably become rough from cooking and washing dishes, and now, wearing these gloves, her hands felt like they were being protected.

Lin Han wanted to give Grandma Jiang and Qin Shuman so many things, but she didn't dare to give them all at once. She could only subtly introduce them into their daily lives.

For example, secretly replacing the soapy water used for washing dishes and clothes with modern detergents and laundry liquids.

We've also switched to essential oil soaps that don't irritate our skin and hair, and we've replaced them with soaps that use essential oils to wash our hair and body.

Take out the face cream that Grandma Jiang and Qin Shuman usually use and replace it with black bandages and Hailai's Mystery.

Now we can only switch them secretly like this.

Once industrial development is more advanced and political activities are less strict, she can share the good things in her space with everyone.

Wang Ru watched as Li Qiao wrote another letter of complaint. Then, urged by Zhang Qiang's mother, Li Qiao sneaked into the Political Department under the cover of darkness and put the letter of complaint into the complaint mailbox.

The next day, as soon as he arrived at work, the staff of the Political Department delivered the newly received letter of complaint to Director Wang's office.

Director Wang opened it and exclaimed, "What? Another report about Comrade Lin Han? Is this never going to end?"

During this period, we received several letters of complaint against Lin Han alone. One letter said that Lin Han's design of maternity clothes was a capitalist act, and another said that Lin Han's man was a sentinel who opened back doors for her to freely enter and leave the old cadres' family compound.

That's utter nonsense. They don't even know who Lin Han is or who her man is, yet they dare to write a report accusing her man of dereliction of duty and using connections.

She lives in the retirement home compound for retired cadres. What more do you want from her if she can't come and go freely? Does she have to submit a report before she can go in?

The people who wrote the whistleblower letter must have nothing better to do.

This time, they're saying Lin Han is engaging in speculation and profiteering by taking military dependents to dry vegetables?

If Section Chief Qin hadn't filed a report with the Political Department beforehand, and if the Minister of the Political Department hadn't personally approved it for Lin Han, he might have actually believed it. The report was so detailed and convincing; the writer must have carefully considered the wording and sentence structure, deliberately making it sound as serious as possible.

Although the letter of complaint posed no threat to Lin Han, whose procedures were complete and legitimate, Director Wang still called Chief Gu to report the situation.

Grandpa Gu was enjoying the cool breeze at home with the fan his granddaughter-in-law had given him when he received the phone call, and his beard bristled with anger.

"Investigate! Investigate immediately! Find the person who wrote the accusation letter that wronged my granddaughter-in-law!"

You bastard, do you think he's useless just because the old man doesn't show his power?

After hanging up with the political department, Grandpa Gu made another call to the propaganda department.

When does the essay contest end?

The person on the other end replied respectfully, "Reporting to the old commander, as of 10:00 AM today."

Grandpa Gu nodded, "When the deadline comes, check the submitted essays you received, find out who hasn't submitted theirs, and then pack them up and send them to the Political Department."

Evidence is essential in everything, especially for those in positions of power who hold sway over the narrative. If they were to convict someone based solely on their own words, it would inevitably appear biased, and some might accuse Lin Han of abusing his authority.

He's an old man and not afraid, but when it comes to his granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa Gu is still very cautious.

She was a delicate young girl, and she couldn't stand people gossiping behind her back.
