Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

”Old man, I...” Old Mrs. Gu wiped her tears, ”Boss just died in my arms like that, and even at his last moment, he held onto Juanzi’s hand, unwilling to close his eyes. My heart, as a mother, felt like it was being dug out.”

”I swore in front of Boss that I would take good care of Juanzi.”

That’s why she has always felt so protective of Gu Juan, even putting her above the eldest son of the Gu Family, Gu Haojun.

”You’ve doted on Gu Juan all these years, I never said anything about it.” Old Sir Gu sighed and said, ”But some boundaries cannot be crossed.”

”Gu Juan is your granddaughter, and so is Lingling. You can’t, because you favor Gu Juan, do things that wrong Lingling. That’s not love, that’s harm.”

”Gu Juan’s situation today is all caused by you and Wang Meili.”

Wang Meili tried to scheme against Gu Lingling, attempting to let Lv Guoqing ruin Lingling, but in the end, Lingling wisely avoided it, causing harm to her own daughter, Gu Juan, instead.

Who can you blame?

Blame their own ill intentions.

”Old man, I know I’m wrong, I won’t dare to do it again in the future, and I’ll treat Lingling well, okay?” Old Mrs. Gu hastily said, ”But this time you must help us, you don’t know that slut comes to our door every day to make trouble, I’m almost at my limit, let alone Juanzi.”

Zhang Hongling came up with new ways to make trouble at the door every day, Old Mrs. Gu didn’t know how she had so much energy, didn’t she have to go to the hospital to take care of Li Jiang?

”Grandma, you really shouldn’t come to my grandfather.” Gu Lingling said with a light smile, ”My aunt is quite capable, maybe by the time you go back, all the troubles will have been solved.”

”What do you know?” Old Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Lingling, ”Seeing us not doing well, does that make you particularly happy?”

”Are you not doing well?” Gu Lingling raised her eyebrows and said, ”Is it because you can’t get enough to eat? Or don’t have clothes to wear?”

On the contrary, Wang Meili is good at maneuvering, even as a temporary worker she earns the most among them, plus Old Sir Gu’s two dollars and fifty cents, and Gu Haojun’s monthly remittance.

Their days are much smoother than those of Gu Lingling’s family.

”Grandma, I think you should go to the factory and ask around a bit.” Gu Lingling kindly reminded Old Mrs. Gu, ”See how the factory compensated that person, and how they handled the matter.”

”My grandpa has been retired from the factory for years, he’s really not as capable as my aunt.”

”What do you mean?” Old Mrs. Gu frowned as she looked at Gu Lingling, ”Let me tell you, stop stirring up trouble, I’m discussing something with your grandpa, why are you, a child, cutting in?”

”Out.” Old Sir Gu said with a cold face, ”Lingling is right, you should go to the factory to understand the situation well, it’s allowable for someone else to fill in for such things at the factory.”

After all, they had been living together for so many years, so Old Sir Gu gave her a bit of guidance.

Unfortunately, Old Mrs. Gu insisted that Old Sir Gu was biased in favor of Gu Lingling, listening to her words and not helping her. As she left, she glared fiercely at Gu Lingling.

”Sigh...”

Old Sir Gu shook his head, wanting to say something more, but meeting his granddaughter’s clear and bright eyes, he let out another sigh and said nothing further.

”Grandpa, don’t worry, it will be fine.”

Gu Lingling naturally knew what Old Sir Gu wanted to ask, ”Even though my grandma is somewhat muddled, she’s quite clever.”

By ’she’, she naturally meant Wang Meili.
