Chapter 249 is in the newspaper.
Sometimes, a person's sixth sense is just that accurate.
Lin Shanshan's unease lasted until the next morning. Only when Li Duomei angrily found her with the newspaper and told her its contents did Lin Shanshan's anxiety subside.
I see.
These people could never have thought of this. Lin Shanshan said to Li Duomei, who was still cursing, "Sister Duomei, help me find out who took them to the newspaper office."
"Okay," Li Duomei agreed and went to the newspaper office without stopping.
Lin Shanshan is such a good person, we can't let bad people slander and defame her!
Sunlight streamed through the window and warmed Lin Shanshan, making her feel a little sleepy.
She yawned, squinted, and slowly read the newspaper.
The headline was extremely sensational, with the main and sub-headlines reading: "Is it the extinction of humanity or the decline of morality? The president of Xinghuo University of Science and Technology actually abandoned his elderly grandmother!"
Sun Lijun and the others only knew that Gu Yiye was a soldier in the army, but they didn't know his position. The newspaper staff felt that the reputation of a university president would be easier to write about, so they wrote "President of Xinghuo University of Science and Technology" in the headline, which was quite sensational.
The article portrays Sun Lijun as living in dire straits, saying she is starving and wearing an old cotton-padded coat even in the dead of winter.
In their writing, Lin Shanshan is portrayed as a heartless rich man.
In this era, the rich are hated the most; the poor and lower-middle peasants and the working class are the true masters.
Once the newspaper was published, the public, unaware of the truth, condemned Lin Shanshan. Some even came to the gate of Xinghuo University of Science and Technology, holding up signs demanding that Lin Shanshan bring her grandmother to live with them.
Lin Shanshan put down the newspaper, rubbed her temples, and thought about how to calm things down.
After thinking for a while, she asked Zhang Wei to send two telegrams.
In the army, Ren Guochang found Ren Shiyou with several newspapers.
“Dad, take a look at this. It’s not just one newspaper that wrote about it. I’ve counted, and there are four in total.”
Ren Shiyou took the newspaper and read it quickly. When he saw the names of Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan, he read the contents more carefully and then angrily slammed the newspaper on the table.
"Don't these people know that A-Ye is my grandson, Ren Shiyou? Even if they don't know, how can they distort the truth and write it like this without any regard for right and wrong?"
"Is this something a newspaper should be doing? Third brother, you go to the mayor's office yourself and have a good talk with Old Li."
General Ren wouldn't let his son go directly to the newspaper office to find the person in charge; for someone of their rank to personally go to the newspaper office would be a great honor for them.
"Okay, Dad, I'll be right there."
Ren Guochang acted swiftly, heading straight to the market office after leaving the house. Mayor Li happened to be there, and without further ado, Ren Guochang showed him the newspaper, saying, "Old Li, these newspapers will write anything to grab attention!"
Mayor Li personally brewed Ren Guo a cup of tea, picked up the newspaper, looked at it again and again, and asked, "General Ren, please enlighten me."
Ren Guochang took a sip of hot tea and recounted the whole story. He concluded, "My nephew was given away by his maternal grandmother and uncle when he was young. They didn't fulfill their duty of raising him for even a day, and now they're asking for alimony? If they don't get it, they'll go to the newspapers to slander and defame him."
"Old Li, look at what this newspaper says! Is there any point in keeping a newspaper open if it just writes nonsense without any regard for facts?"
After hearing Ren Guochang's words, Mayor Li immediately stated, "General Ren, please rest assured, I will definitely deal with these newspapers that are acting recklessly."
"Just rectification?" Ren Guochang frowned.
Mayor Li glanced at the newspapers; they were just small tabloids with no real backing.
He quickly changed his tune: "I'll shut down those newspapers immediately."
