My girlfriend is from 1949
Chapter 372 Warning, Are We Being Hostile?
Lin Wan took a sip of cola and glanced at her mother beside her.
He said with a smile, "I heard from my mother that the factory has shifted part of its business to producing military-grade gauze."
During our conversation, we inevitably talked about our family's textile factory.
Li Suqin was very happy at the time, and her face lit up when she talked about the factory. Even Lin Moqing, who was usually serious, smiled.
He was clearly very satisfied with the current development of the textile factory.
In fact, they did have some concerns when Beiping was first liberated.
They even discussed the idea of moving the whole family to Hong Kong.
After all, at that time, the Kuomintang reactionaries spread all sorts of rumors and smears in an attempt to incite the public to resist.
As well-known entrepreneurs, the Lin family was naturally a prime target for their persuasion.
Especially during the War of Resistance against Japan, the Lin family secretly funded the purchase of weapons and medicines for the National Revolutionary Army's anti-Japanese forces.
These events were deliberately exaggerated, portraying them as people in the same boat.
If the People's Liberation Army enters the city, they certainly won't let them go.
So people were in a state of panic at the time, and these entrepreneurs all had the idea of moving south.
However, Lin Moqing was stubborn and insisted on staying at the ancestral home.
After all, if they wanted to leave, they could have gone to Chongqing or Macau during the War of Resistance against Japan.
They didn't leave when they were invaded, so it's even less likely they'll leave now.
Moreover, Lin Moqing felt that supporting the Kuomintang in the War of Resistance against Japan was an act of patriotism.
After the Japanese surrendered, the Lin family devoted themselves to their business and did not participate in politics.
He also had contact with the underground Communist Party in Chengli.
They only provided some assistance to the best of their ability, without taking a clear stance of joining the cause.
But overall, it did contribute to the new government.
Therefore, they stayed firmly, which also helped stabilize public sentiment.
After the liberation of Beiping, the new government did not do anything to them.
Instead, they were invited to a meeting to discuss how to jointly develop Beiping and ensure the stability of this ancient capital.
After a few months, people realized that the new government would indeed not make things difficult for them.
People's hearts gradually calmed down.
Moreover, after a few months, Sister-in-law Liu Wen has become an activist and is actively trying to join the Party and the Women's Federation!
If all goes well, it should be approved next month.
Once you join the Party, you will no longer work in the factory, but will apply to work in the neighborhood committee or the Women's Federation.
Everything was progressing smoothly and in a positive direction; there was nothing particularly unusual about it.
But in May, I clearly felt that things were different.
Originally, the Lin family's business was not qualified to produce military-grade gauze.
Then one day, Lin Yuzhou suddenly received a notice that the Military Control Commission wanted to talk to him.
When Lin Yuzhou heard the news, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
He was afraid that if he spoke to the Lin family alone, they would settle scores with him later.

Even before leaving, he had already made arrangements for entrusting his orphaned children to others.
With a sense of unease, knowing that there was no turning back, they nervously headed to the military control commission.
He had already prepared for the worst; if he were taken to the interrogation room, he had even thought of how to explain his past aid to the Kuomintang.
Contrary to expectations, instead of being taken to an interrogation room, I was taken to the director's office.
The director personally poured him a glass of water and inquired about his family situation with concern.
Then he issued a letter of appointment to produce medical gauze for the national army and hospitals.
When Lin Yuzhou saw the name on the letter of appointment, he felt as if he had been hit by a huge pie, and it all felt unreal.
It's important to know that the requirements for producing military-grade gauze are extremely strict.
Usually, it requires designation and military review; ordinary textile factories without the necessary qualifications are not allowed to produce such products.
More importantly, it is the significance behind this entrustment and this trust.
That shows that the new government has fully accepted and trusts the Lin family.
They were truly recognized and gained a foothold in the new government.
No more worrying about being purged one day.
After all, those who qualify must have undergone rigorous screening.
Since the Military Control Commission's review was successful, then everything else should be fine.
The anxiety that had been hanging over me finally subsided.
He had prepared himself to die, but then he was given an important assignment.
The emotional blow was palpable.
Even after I walked out of the military control office, my head was still spinning, and I felt like I was walking on cotton.
Lin Yuzhou took a sip of wine and gestured with his hands.
"Sister, our factory is different now than it used to be."
Our original business remains unchanged.
However, the new government granted another piece of land next to the factory.
After re-approval, another factory specializing in the production of gauze was built.
Even the production machinery was provided by the government.
In terms of funding, the bank gave our family a ten-year interest-free loan.
After ten years, once the loan is paid off, the machine will be yours.
You didn't see those machines; they were incredibly advanced.
Compared to the new equipment, our current textile machinery is...
That's like upgrading from a musket to a cannon; there's simply no comparison.
The level of automation is extremely high; given enough raw materials, the output is frighteningly high!
Lin Yu-chou made a large circle with his hands, representing that the current production capacity is extremely high.
He added with a smug look, "Those business associates from before, now they all respectfully call me Boss Lin!"
Everyone knows that the Lin family has taken on the new government's military procurement order, and things are different now.
Those who had illicit ties with the Kuomintang reactionaries in previous years were especially eager to curry favor with them.
They're just hoping that if something really happens one day, someone will be able to bail them out.
Lin Yuzhou spoke with great enthusiasm, expressing his pride and excitement at being able to take the family business to a new level.
It allows the family to gain a foothold in the new government and feel secure.
"That's wonderful!"
Lin Wan smiled and raised her glass in congratulations, already knowing what had happened.
The reason my family is qualified to supply the military is because of the country's preferential treatment of us.
After making arrangements for my family, I felt at ease being in Shanghai without any worries.
I won't worry if my family is doing well.
That's why they suddenly granted the eligibility and offered interest-free loans.
Even the new production equipment they use was purchased from the future world.
The fact that the central government would allow such advanced equipment to be used in their own home shows they really care about you.
but
Lin Wan put down her chopsticks, and her face turned serious.
"Brother, the country has taken good care of our family. We can't possibly go against our conscience just to make money in business!"
His voice was low, yet carried a heavy tone.
Lin Wan's biggest worry is that her brother will become arrogant and do bad things.
What should you do if your family member breaks the law?
Most importantly, I'm worried that he'll compromise his conscience for the sake of making money.
Researching materials in the modern world will naturally reveal that during the Korean War, there was a ruthless businessman named Wang Kangnian!
The gauze that this person provided for the treatment of the volunteer soldiers was problematic; most of the gauze was actually just cotton.
Moreover, none of the bandages and gauze were sterilized or disinfected.
What's even more infuriating is that some painkillers actually contain flour!
This resulted in many volunteer soldiers experiencing increasingly severe conditions despite receiving treatment.
Some of the seriously wounded volunteers even died after receiving treatment.
This enraged the old man, who slammed his fist on the table and angrily exclaimed: "He deserves to die!"
Wang Kangnian also used a honey trap, seducing officials he wanted to win over.
Wang Kang bribed dozens of important officials before and after the Lunar New Year, covering a wide range, including 85 public officials from 37 state organs.
These people will not have the same fate as temporary workers!
They've all arrived; they deserve the punishment!
Lin Wan's biggest worry is that her brother will do something against his conscience for the sake of profit.
"Brother, you can never earn all the money in the world!"
As long as our family continues to receive military orders, we'll have endless money to make.
A steady, long-term relationship is much better than a one-off deal.
As long as a good cooperative relationship is maintained, this business can be passed on to Jimmy Lin in the future.
However, if you are blinded by profit and produce substandard or even toxic gauze.
At that point, not only will the factory no longer be able to be passed on to Xiaozhi, but you will also be executed.
The entire Lin family will be ruined because of this!
Brother, no matter what, you must never lose your conscience!
Lin Wan earnestly advised her brother, hoping to serve as a wake-up call.
As a journalist, I witnessed far too many unscrupulous capitalists when I was in Shanghai.
I worry that one day my brother will also take risks for profit.
After all, the government's support enables them to supply sofas to the military and hospitals across the country.
If a quality problem were to occur, how many innocent people would be killed!
Moreover, all of this tragedy occurred because the state took care of itself.
If such a thing were to happen, I would live with guilt for the rest of my life.
If it really comes to that, I can only support the country's trial and seek justice for the victims!
Lin Moqing put down his wine glass, his expression turning serious.
"Wanwan is right. No matter what, we Lin family members must never forget our roots, and we must never lose our conscience."
If you dare do anything against your conscience, I'll be the first to make you regret it!
The old man had a strong voice, which was sharp and piercing.
The patriarchal demeanor made Lin Yuzhou instinctively shrink back.
Liu Wen also issued a stern warning: "If he really dares to do such a thing, Jimmy and I will never forgive him for the rest of our lives!"
As an applicant for Party membership, my ideological awareness has greatly improved over the past six months.
I abhor this kind of thing even more.
If the husband really did such a heinous act, I would probably choose to put the greater good before family!
Lin Yuzhou was criticized by his entire family, and hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, even if we don't make money, we'll ensure quality and quantity, and we will never tarnish the Lin family's reputation!"
His anxious expression showed he was truly feeling the pressure.
A hasty promise will never be made against one's conscience.
However, if they were truly after money at all costs, they would have already partnered with the Kuomintang reactionaries back then.
Given the circumstances and relationships at the time, he would have made a fortune long ago by providing production and logistics support to the Kuomintang after going to Nanjing.
In that environment, it's incredibly easy to collude with those in power to gain an advantage.
It was precisely because of his principles that he gave up the opportunity to make money.
Now that the whole country has been liberated and people's ideological awareness has improved, they are even less likely to do so.
After sitting down, Lin Yuzhou quickly took a sip of wine to calm his nerves.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at his younger sister beside him.
There was a vague feeling that I could suddenly secure military orders and also supply gauze to hospitals nationwide.
They even used interest-free loans to finance their own advanced machinery and equipment.
All of this happened so suddenly.
Now, seeing my sister return with her bodyguards, I vaguely sense that the changes in the family are related to her.
There is no such thing as love without a reason in this world.
In terms of closeness and distance, the other entrepreneurs made greater contributions before liberation.
However, this good fortune did not fall into their laps.
This already indicates that there must be some hidden story that I am unaware of.
However, now was not the time to ask these questions, so they quickly changed the subject and the family happily enjoyed their reunion dinner.
Lin Moqing and Li Suqin also showed smiles that they hadn't seen in a long time, and their long-standing worries were finally put to rest.
The meal was very enjoyable.
After dinner, the brother and sister took a walk and chatted in the garden.
They were talking about what had happened over the past three years.
Lin Yuzhou probed several times, trying to see if the changes at home were related to his younger sister.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong opponent this time.
Lin Wan has been working on the covert front for three years!
If you just chat casually, you can easily get information out of someone.
She would probably have been exposed long ago, discovered by cunning secret agents.
However, during the chat, some things that could be said were also revealed appropriately.
For example, working in Shanghai means being highly valued by superiors.
He neither admitted nor denied that the changes in his family were related to him.
But how could someone who grew up together not understand what it means?
suddenly
Lin Yuzhou reminded her, "Wanwan, when you get back, you should tell your boyfriend to prepare to meet his future father-in-law. Getting past Dad won't be easy!"
Lin Wan opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refute.
But the words stuck in his throat.
Her pretty face flushed slightly: "He's in Shanghai and can't come to Beiping. How can we see him?"
He then pressed on, his eyes gleaming with interest, "Why was it so difficult to get past your father-in-law? Would Dad make things difficult for him?"
Lin Yuzhou nodded: "That's a must~, Dad won't let him off easily! When you get back, remind him to prepare early."
His expression was serious, not at all like he was joking.
Lin Wan blinked her big eyes, her pretty face full of confusion.
It is said that a father-in-law gets angrier the more he looks at his son-in-law.
But Chen Huai'an and his biological father were complete strangers and lived thousands of miles apart, so how did he suddenly provoke them?
Moreover, from the elder brother's reminder, one could tell that it was absolutely full of hostility.
This is even more confusing.
She said in a low voice, "Dad is usually a bit serious, but he wouldn't target someone for no reason, would he?"
As a daughter, I understand my father's temper quite well.
Although she usually seems a bit serious, she likes to act like the matriarch at home.
Overall, he's a pretty reasonable person.
As long as you don't provoke him, he won't easily get into conflicts with people.
They've never even met, so why do they act like they're enemies?
Lin Wanxiu frowned and asked anxiously, "Brother, what exactly happened?"
