Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Gu Lingling is almost certain that the mastermind behind Yao Ruanqian’s death is Wang Meili. As for Old Mrs. Gu, whether she knew or not, Lingling would have to investigate slowly.

”I can’t do it, but your aunt can.” Old Mrs. Gu’s eyes shifted, ”Otherwise, how about this: you prepare the hawthorn and other things, I’ll take them back and have your aunt make it for you and then bring it to you.”

Bring it over?

Gu Lingling sneered, tossing the meat bun to the dog, expecting the dog to bring it back?

”If you can’t, that’s fine, I was just asking.” Seeing Old Mrs. Gu’s look, Gu Lingling turned to Gu Chunhai, ”Dad, I’m going back to my room first.”

Laziness overtook her to deal with this old woman.

”You... look at what kind of daughter you’ve raised, I’m still standing here as her elder.” Old Mrs. Gu pointed at Gu Lingling, scolding, ”Uncultured brat.”

”You can go home now, I’m very clear-minded about my daughter.” The daughter-loving Gu Chunhai was displeased as soon as Old Mrs. Gu scolded Gu Lingling. He frowned and said to Old Mrs. Gu, ”Forget about getting any meat, leave.”

”If you don’t leave now, Chunhai, go and get the old village chief over.” Old Sir Gu shouted from the house.

Old Sir Gu has repeated this talk of divorce more than once.

”Dead old man, how can you be so heartless?” Seeing Chunhai and Old Sir Gu’s firm attitude, Old Mrs. Gu glared fiercely at Chunhai, ”How did I give birth to such a heartless one?”

After speaking, she turned to leave. Before she got through the door, she saw some scallions on the windowsill. She quickly grabbed them and slammed the door behind her.

Gu Lingling poked her head out from the room to glance at the dark-faced Gu Chunhai, ”Dad, does my aunt really know how to make hawthorn cake? Have you ever eaten it at home?”

”Never had it, why?” Gu Chunhai asked.

This was already the second time Gu Lingling asked about hawthorn cake, ”If you want to eat it, after you come back from Grandma’s house tomorrow, Dad will buy it for you at the food store.”

Gu Lingling shook her head.

Old Mrs. Gu came back empty-handed, cursing all the way. When she returned, she saw Gu Juan sitting there blankly and asked with concern, ”Juanzi, what’s wrong?”

”Grandma, did you bring back any meat?” She knew that Old Mrs. Gu went to Nanshui Village today because the village was distributing meat.

”No, what’s wrong with you?” Old Mrs. Gu looked at her granddaughter, ”Did someone bully you?”

Her eyes were red, surely she had cried.

”No... nothing, just sitting here too long makes my eyes uncomfortable.” Gu Juan shook her head.

She could have said that after Old Mrs. Gu left, she went out to play too. But her classmates were busy, so she came back again, and then she saw what she shouldn’t have seen.

Her mom was actually doing those shameful things with a man on the bed.

Ever since that day when Gu Qing had his way with her, could she not know what they were doing?

And the thing she couldn’t accept was that the man was Lv Guodong’s father, her cousin’s uncle.

Judging by their behavior, it was likely not their first time.

Gu Juan didn’t know what she felt at the moment, incredibly she didn’t scream but quietly ran out until she saw Lv Zhongliang leave and only then did she return.

But Wang Meili was not at home, she had to go to work.

Gu Juan sat there foolishly by herself, not knowing what she was thinking, her mind a mess.

”Juanzi wants to eat meat? Yesterday your mom brought back a piece, Grandma will make you stew with pork and vermicelli tonight.” Old Mrs. Gu said lovingly.

”We don’t need to beg others to have meat.”

Going back she was just hoping to gain some advantage but didn’t expect these people to be so heartless, not even giving her a piece of meat.

No begging?

Gu Juan sneered. She now knows how her mom brings home those good things every time.
