Everyone burst into laughter. The originally icy atmosphere thawed a bit instantly.
Another female political commissar with short hair stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Wanning. "Come on, let's sit down and have a chat."
Lin Wanning nodded with a smile and naturally sat down beside this female political commissar.
Although she looked calm on the surface, only she herself knew how nervous she was inside.
She wasn't worried about other things, but only feared that they would come up with all kinds of tricky questions to make things difficult for her.
"You're the descendant of a capitalist, right?"
Before Lin Wanning could regain her composure, she was confronted with such a direct question. She could only clench her teeth silently and nod honestly.
Now she had been reborn, but in her previous life, she had been oppressed by this identity for a lifetime. Although things got better later.
However, Gu Zhendong's family never let her go like the changing times did. Instead, they kept adding salt to her wounds.
The resistance and fear deep in her heart really couldn't just disappear.
Unconsciously, Lin Wanning's head slowly lowered, and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
Zhou Huaian, who was arranged to observe outside the door, felt his heart break into pieces at this sight.
"Let me in. If it has to be like this, I'll just go to the countryside to farm. Don't make things difficult for her."
The observer beside him tightly grabbed Zhou Huaian's arm. "Calm down."
"If you go in now, all your previous efforts will be in vain."
Awakened by these words, Zhou Huaian could only endure the pain in his heart and continue watching their in - person interrogation.
Fortunately, the female political commissar noticed Lin Wanning's sadness. She immediately gave the others a look that seemed to say "Don't be too harsh".
But the others ignored her.
In their eyes, the descendants of capitalists were unforgivable, sucking the blood of the working people to live a life of pleasure.
However, Lin Wanning's parents were not capitalists but "rightists". Although they were both part of the "five black categories", they were just from a scholarly family.
"My father was a university professor, and my mother was a medical expert. They once made many contributions."
Lin Wanning's sudden answer this time showed no trace of timidity, because just now.
She had figured out one thing, that is, she couldn't change this identity, but if she wanted to completely get rid of the discrimination brought by this identity.
What she had to do was to face this identity directly, recognize her identity and her parents.
No matter what others thought in their hearts, all she could do was explain that her parents were not vampires or bad people who oppressed others.
No matter whether others were disgusted or laughed at her, as long as she had a clear conscience.
But she never expected that as soon as she said this, several people on the scene immediately perked up.
One of the political commissars holding a teacup even couldn't help slowly putting it down.
"Intellectuals?" he couldn't help questioning.
"But in the background investigation, your grandparents once owned a big factory."
"Yes, my grandparents were indeed capitalists, but my father was adopted by others when he was a child. He didn't study with the money of the capitalists."
"My grandfather who raised my father was a private - school teacher, and my grandmother was an embroidery woman. The money spent on raising my father had nothing to do with exploitation.
Now their family was indeed implicated, but Lin Wanning knew that in her previous life, her parents were among the first batch to be rehabilitated.
It was obvious that they were wronged.
After hearing these words, all the political commissars fell into silence.
At that time, they also found out that Lin Wanning's father didn't grow up at home, but there was too little information about his adoptive parents, so they simply classified them as capitalists.
One of them coughed a little awkwardly. "Okay, we'll verify the situation you mentioned later."
"If the situation is true, we definitely won't make things difficult for you in this approval."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something. "By the way, you're a married woman. Your husband had a car accident not long ago, and then you...?"
He left his words hanging.
The gazes of everyone present instantly turned towards Lin Wanning.
However, Lin Wanning had anticipated this question from the beginning.
"Yes, I was married. My husband died less than three days ago."
As soon as she said this, there was a murmur in the whole room.
"But there was no real affection between us. We just met each other's needs. He married me for his sister - in - law, and I married him out of anger because Zhou Huaian refused to marry me."
Everyone in the room instantly stared with wide eyes.
"After my husband married me, he never entered my room. As for where he went every night, I don't want to say much, after all, it's not a glorious thing."
"And about the fact that Zhou Huaian didn't marry me, you should also know about the injury Zhou Huaian suffered before."
"He was afraid that he wouldn't survive, so he didn't want to marry me. But at that time, I didn't know how seriously injured he was. If I had known, I would never have been angry with him."
These words were half - true and half - false, but when Lin Wanning said them, her nose inexplicably turned sour.
After all, they really missed each other in their previous life.
Outside the door, when Zhou Huaian heard these words, his pupils widened in shock, and his heart felt as if it had been suddenly cut by a knife.
He didn't understand how Lin Wanning knew these things?
Could it be that everything she said was true?
Just when Zhou Huaian was百思不得其解 (at a loss),
The several political commissars in the office glanced at each other, then quickly stood up and reached out their hands to Lin Wanning.
"Comrade Lin, you've passed our in - person interrogation. The documents will be approved tomorrow."
Lin Wanning couldn't believe it. She reached out her hand to shake hands with the standing political commissar, even after the other person had already sat down.
Lin Wanning still couldn't come to her senses. "This is...?"
The female political commissar saw Lin Wanning's confused and incredulous look, and she couldn't help laughing. "Congratulations. You've passed our examination."
"Really?" Lin Wanning couldn't believe that the in - person interrogation was so simple.
Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.
"Really, because from your attitude, what we feel the most is sincerity."
"Since you're sincere about Zhou Huaian, we're relieved to let him be with you. Otherwise, we wouldn't be willing to let go of such an outstanding talent."
After the female political commissar finished speaking, she patted Lin Wanning's shoulder with a look of relief.
Zhou Huaian's superior shook his head helplessly. This was a matter of mutual affection. He couldn't just split them up for his own selfish desires.
Moreover, it was not easy for them to get together.
"Black Province is close to the border. It must not be as safe as here. I've known Zhou Huaian for a while. I just want to tell you that as his wife, you must take good care of him for us."
"All of us are waiting for the day when he comes back here with merits. So you must take good care of him for us."
