Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

”Now Tao Zhiran wouldn’t dare come to the broken temple anymore.” Zhao Si’en covered his mouth and laughed, ”Sister Lingling’s trick works every time.”

”You should be careful with this person in the future.” Gu Lingling said, ”Spend more time with Zhao Tiantian; although she might be a bit slow, she has a good heart.”

Zhao Tiantian is not truly stupid; it’s just that her reactions are somewhat slow.

Tao Zhiran was driven almost crazy by Zhao Tiantian, but what else could he do? If he, an educated youth, dared do anything to Zhao Tiantian, the Zhao Family would tear him apart later.

As for Gu Lingling, Tao Zhiran hasn’t even seen her in the past few days, let alone tried to flaunt his presence to attract her attention.

Gu Lingling was busy starting to steam buns.

Every year-end, the women of Nanshui Village get busy with various tasks, cooking meat, steaming buns, making dumplings, and preparing for the New Year.

During this time, Gu Chunhai took Gu Lingling to visit the Yao Family and brought some New Year’s goods there.

The New Year’s goods at Grandma Yao’s place were almost ready, not as plentiful as in modern times, but with the taste of that era.

The father and daughter first went to the grocery store and bought some cakes and candies. Over the past few months, Gu Lingling had saved several food coupons and some fruit coupons.

Winter fruits were already scarce, and they hadn’t expected to find a new batch of fresh fruits upon their visit, which made Gu Lingling very happy.

There were even bananas, so she bought some without hesitation.

Grandma Yao’s teeth weren’t very good, and bananas were perfect for her to eat.

When the two of them came out, they ran into Wang Meili and Gu Juan at the entrance of the grocery store.

Gu Juan’s complexion looked especially bad, and she had lost a lot of weight since the last time she showed off in the village.

Could it be that she was ill?

”You guys are here to shop too?” The flash of hatred in Wang Meili’s eyes was quickly buried as she spoke awkwardly.

Gu Juan, however, turned her head to the side and didn’t greet Gu Chunhai and them at all.

”Yeah.” Gu Chunhai nodded with a blank expression.

Wang Meili observed the two carrying so many things, especially eyeing the bunch of bananas in their hands, and pursed her lips, ”Chunhai, mom keeps talking about you. If you’re not busy, come by and visit her.”

After speaking, she glanced again at the bananas in Gu Lingling’s hand.

”I’m quite busy.” Gu Chunhai said and left with Gu Lingling.

Gu Juan kept glaring venomously at Gu Lingling, ”Mom, that damn bitch, I have to kill her.”

”Mom understands, be patient for a few days, until after the New Year.” Wang Meili consoled, ”It’s stuffy in there, don’t go in, wait for me over there.”

Pointing to the big tree opposite the grocery store.

When Gu Lingling turned her head, she saw Gu Juan clutching the tree and vomiting.

Could it be?

No wonder Gu Juan’s gaze towards her earlier had been like she wanted to devour her. Now it all made sense.

Gu Lingling’s lips curled up slightly.

The future days would be much more interesting.

Thinking about it, from the time Gu Juan caused a fuss until now, it’s been over two months, right? Judging from Wang Meili’s demeanor just now, are they not planning to have Gu Juan abort the child?

Hmm... if the Lv Family found out that Gu Juan was pregnant, things would get interesting.

But Gu Lingling couldn’t figure it out. Wang Meili wasn’t a fool, and given Gu Juan’s nature, she certainly wouldn’t want to have a child with Lv Guoqing, the fool.

So, what was the reason?

Unable to figure it out, Gu Lingling decided to stop pondering.

If the child could be born, that would be for the best; after all, it would be a life.
