Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Digging a Pit

Gu Chunhai felt heartache, his son came back, but didn’t pay any attention to him from head to toe, not even a glance.

He felt like he failed as a father.

His daughter was distant from him, and his son didn’t recognize him anymore.

But who can he blame?

Yao Jingsong got furious when he heard Gu Lingling’s words, ”You... you stupid woman! You’re just waiting to be sold and count the money.”

He was fuming.

He had thought this woman had truly changed these days, but didn’t expect her to still be so foolish.

”You only know how to be impulsive, never use your brain.” Gu Lingling cast a contemptuous look at the furious Yao Jingsong, ”Grandma, let’s go make dinner.”

As for Gu Chunhai and Yao Jingsong, let them deal with it themselves.

”Alright, let’s go. Let’s make dumplings for lunch? Your dad and Baobao love dumplings.” Grandma Yao said with a smile.

”Sure, let’s make dumplings, I’ll help with the filling.” Gu Lingling smiled and said.

”Gu Lingling, what did you mean by what you said earlier?” Yao Jingsong chased after her; he’d rather figure things out with Gu Lingling than stare blankly at Gu Chunhai.

Might as well ask this silly woman to clear things up.

”You’ll find out later.” Gu Lingling said, almost choking Yao Jingsong with her light response.

”Silly boy, working as a temporary worker in the transformer factory is not easy, you should learn more from your sister, don’t resort to punches all the time, what good is that?” Grandma Yao also laughed.

Who knows whom he’s taking after, always thinking about fighting.

When Gu Lingling said that to her earlier, she thought her granddaughter was feeling sorry for Wang Meili, but then understood her meaning after thinking it over.

”Let Grandpa find something relatively easier, let’s be courteous.” Gu Lingling smiled cunningly.

Yao Jingsong crossed his arms.

What did he say just now? Gu Lingling is silly? But why does that smile feel so terrifying?

Is it too late to take back the comment about Gu Lingling?

Grandma Yao worked steadily with her hands, ”It’s necessary to find a better job; though good intentions might be considered as donkey’s liver and lungs, outsiders’ eyes are clear.”

Gu Lingling’s eyes sparkled, realizing her grandma was also a master.

Meanwhile, Wang Meili led Gu Juan out of the Yao Family’s door, walked quite a distance, and then both stopped, mother and daughter sighed with relief, ”This matter is finally settled.”

Wang Meili was overjoyed, thinking how Gu Chunmei could brag later.

”It’s a pity it’s just a temporary job, Mom. Gu Lingling is so annoying, if she helped, it wouldn’t be such a hassle.” Gu Juan said angrily.

”Just wait, there will definitely be a chance to deal with that dead girl.” Wang Meili comforted her daughter, ”Didn’t your brother send back cloth tickets? Let’s go get you some fabric for new clothes after lunch.”

”Thank you, Mom.” Gu Juan beamed upon hearing about new clothes, her previously pouty lips turned into a smile.

Wang Meili thought about how she’d soon be able to work in the factory and decided to celebrate, the two went straight into the state-owned restaurant, ”Daughter, eat more.”

Meanwhile, Gu Lingling’s dumplings were ready too, ”Grandma, where’s our insulated container?”

Afraid Yang Yunhai wouldn’t have anything to eat, she decided to send him some freshly made dumplings with Yao Jingsong.

Hearing that a soldier might be injured and possibly without food, Grandma Yao felt pity, ”Poor child, how does one cope alone?”

Grandma filled the insulated container to the brim, ”If you don’t feel like cooking in the evening, you can heat it up and eat.”

”Take care on the road.” Grandma Yao carefully instructed the two kids.

Alright!

Luckily, they made plenty of dumplings today.
