Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

”You old bastard, I serve you food, drink, and even take care of your necessities, and you still dare to tell me to get lost.” Old Mrs. Gu sat on the floor, wailing and lamenting.

No sooner had she shouted than Old Sir Gu’s cane came down, ”You just need a beating, don’t you? If I don’t beat you, will you tear off the roof? Do you really think because I’m crippled I can’t handle you, woman?”

”If you keep wailing, I’ll write a divorce letter and get out of the Gu Family damn it.”

”Stop harming my granddaughter.”

Old Mrs. Gu’s voice got stuck halfway through her crying.

In the early years, because Old Sir Gu was in charge, Old Mrs. Gu wasn’t so muddled, and she often got disciplined by Old Sir Gu.

But ever since Old Sir Gu was paralyzed and stuck to the kang, his spirit also waned, and he just stayed in that annex all day, only speaking a few words when the old village chief visited.

He had no interest in running the family’s affairs anymore.

Back when she was a girl, Old Mrs. Gu was a bit stubborn. Encouraged by Wang Meili, she had the final say in the Gu Family.

If not for Old Sir Gu’s anger today, she seemed to have almost forgotten how frightening he could be when he got mad.

Divorce letter?

At her age, if she were to be sent back to her parents’ home, she’d rather hang herself with a belt than go through that.

”Dad, aren’t you just forcing my mom to her death?” Wang Meili cried as she saw Old Mrs. Gu back down. ”My mom hasn’t just worked hard for you these years without any reward.”

Yeah, this old man is already paralyzed, no longer the man who always scolded her.

”Shut up.” Old Sir Gu glared at Wang Meili.

They say to marry a virtuous wife, it was a mistake to let Boss marry such a wasteful woman back then.

”Why so fierce? What did I say wrong?” Old Mrs. Gu cried, ”If it weren’t for Boss trying to save him, would he be dead? If he were still alive, would my Juanzi be bullied like this?”

Boss was so filial, whatever she said went; among the five children and three sons, she loved Boss the most.

”If you are to repay a kindness, shouldn’t Gu Lingling take the burden?”

”Save me? Was he really trying to save me?” Gu Chunhai smirked sarcastically, ”Mom, I know ever since I was little, you loved eldest brother the most.”

”You’ve never let me speak about this, even using it to force me to marry her.”

”What now? Do you want to use this to force my daughter, ruining her life too?”

”Then I’m really not going to bear this blame anymore; it’s about time everyone knew the real reason behind what happened back then, so no one can call me ungrateful in the future.”

”No, Chunhai, it’s not like that.” Old Mrs. Gu and Wang Meili’s faces turned pale.

”Not like what? That my brother wasn’t lazing around and framing me? Or that he wanted to use me as a stepping stone to escape but ended up unlucky and got hit by a rock?”

All these years, because Gu Chunsheng was already dead, Gu Chunhai didn’t want his brother’s reputation to be tarnished after his death, and due to Old Mrs. Gu’s pleading, he kept silent.

Even when Old Mrs. Gu forced him, he accepted it.

But he didn’t expect these two women to know the truth yet still use this as a weapon.

What? Endure it once, and now endure it a second time?

”No... it’s not like this.” Old Mrs. Gu beat on Gu Chunhai’s back fiercely, ”Do you want your brother to be restless even in his grave?”

”Let’s split up the family.”

Even as Old Mrs. Gu hit him, Gu Chunhai stood tall, his back straight.
