Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Gu Lingling wasn’t surprised at all about Old Mrs. Gu visiting.

Zhang Hongling is causing trouble every day now, and Old Mrs. Gu cares so much about Gu Juan. How could she let her continue living there?

But she doesn’t have a better place for Gu Juan, so she could only focus on the Gu Family in Nanshui Village.

However, Gu Lingling thought, this was probably just Old Mrs. Gu’s wishful thinking. With Gu Juan’s proud temperament, how could she return to Nanshui Village?

Especially since she’s pregnant, unlike the past few months when wearing looser clothes could still cover it up.

”Where’s your grandpa?” Old Mrs. Gu asked, looking sternly at Gu Lingling as she sized her up.

She realized that it had only been a little more than half a year since she’d last seen her, yet this little girl had grown even prettier. Just look at her rosy cheeks; you could almost pinch water from them.

Those bright almond-shaped eyes resembled clear blue skies—light yet sharp, deep and gentle like a calm, clear lake capable of seeing through everything.

Suddenly, Old Mrs. Gu felt an urge not to meet her gaze, as if every little thought in her heart had been thoroughly discovered.

”Grandpa, Grandma is looking for you.” Gu Lingling smiled softly as she led Old Mrs. Gu into the house.

Looking around the house, Old Mrs. Gu initially thought she had entered the wrong place. After all, she had lived in this house for most of her life. When did it become so bright and clean?

It’s way better than their house in the city.

Glancing again at the opposite kitchen, Old Mrs. Gu felt like she had entered the wrong door.

That bright and clean kitchen—was it the same kitchen where the entire house used to fill with smoke whenever she cooked?

At the same time, she felt even stronger about her decision.

If Gu Juan came back to live here, it would definitely be better than living in the city.

”Lingling, go call the village chief over.” Old Sir Gu said directly.

Seeing Old Mrs. Gu scrutinizing the family’s appearance annoyed him, and he didn’t want to utter another word to her.

”Okay, Grandpa.” Gu Lingling said, smiling cheerfully.

”You little brat, where are you going?” Old Mrs. Gu panicked upon hearing the village chief was being called, trying to grab Gu Lingling, but Gu Lingling had already dashed outside, loudly shouting, ”Village chief uncle, my grandpa needs you to come over.”

The door directly faced the main entrance, just in time to see Gu Tongzhou walking out from their house.

”What are you up to, old man?” Old Mrs. Gu, with reddened eyes, sat by the side of the kang and said, ”I know you hate me, but I can’t help it. Gu Juan is in a bad state now, old man. She’s also your granddaughter. Can you lend a hand?”

Old Sir Gu stayed silent; Gu Juan was his granddaughter, but since he had been paralyzed on the kang, she never treated him as her grandpa.

Over the years, Old Sir Gu’s heart had grown cold.

”Are you so cruel as to push her to the brink?” Old Mrs. Gu sobbed and sniffled.

Her beloved Juanzi is so pitiful; so young, yet pregnant, and can’t have an abortion, or she might never become a mother in this lifetime.

Old Sir Gu was amused by her words, ”Not helping her means I’m pushing her towards death?”

”Li Lanhua, oh Li Lanhua, I used to just think you were a bit muddled, but I never really realized how selfish you are.” Old Sir Gu sighed and said, ”You’ve seen it yourself; I’m now a useless man, so don’t expect me to help much.”

”Things were made clear when we split the family, don’t come here again, this family doesn’t have anything to do with you.”

Don’t think I’m unaware of what’s happening with Gu Juan.

”Don’t scheme about this household anymore.” Old Sir Gu said, ”Walk your own wide road and we’ll cross our single-plank bridge. Li Lanhua, I can let bygones be bygones, but if you dare have any more ideas, though my old bones are weak, I can still say a word at the transformer factory.”
