Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

After dinner, Gu Lingling yawned again and again.

”I’ve been picking vegetables all day, so tired.” Gu Lingling said as she pushed the bowl onto the table and twisted her neck to stand up.

”This damn brat!”

Old Mrs. Gu angrily cursed at Gu Lingling’s back in a low voice, ”What vegetables did she pick? The basket is still under the eaves.”

”Alright, Mom.” Wang Meili tugged at Old Mrs. Gu’s sleeve and whispered something in her ear.

”Hmph, hurry up and get this girl out of here. Just seeing her takes a few years off my life.” Originally, Old Mrs. Gu felt a bit guilty about secretly arranging a marriage for Gu Lingling.

But seeing how Gu Lingling behaved today, any bit of guilt completely disappeared.

”Everything settled over there?” Old Mrs. Gu asked.

”Grandma, what are you and Mom plotting?” Gu Juan asked excitedly.

Could it be what Wang Meili said about teaching Gu Lingling a lesson is happening tonight?

But how will they teach her a lesson?

She was so excited.

She couldn’t wait to see Gu Lingling in trouble.

”Alright, it doesn’t concern you. Just sleep well tonight.” Wang Meili chided, ”As a child, don’t meddle in adult matters.”

Gu Juan yawned and pouted, ”You tell me nothing, am I even your daughter?”

”Grandma’s good granddaughter, listen to your mom, sleep well tonight and don’t open the door.” Old Mrs. Gu comforted Gu Juan lovingly.

”Alright then, I’m so sleepy too.” Gu Juan said, yawning again, ”I wonder if it’s because of that damn girl Gu Lingling making me sleepy.”

Tonight’s energy was clearly not as good as before. Having just finished dinner, why am I so tired?

Seeing Gu Juan no longer fussing, Wang Meili breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid her daughter would throw a tantrum at this moment.

”Mom, what exactly are you planning to do tonight?” Lv Guodong glanced at his brother sleeping in the back seat and asked Wang Xintao confusedly.

In the dead of night, instead of sleeping at home, they sneaked out with his foolish brother, driving to Nanshui Village. Please don’t tell me it’s just to admire the cold night scenery of late autumn.

”This matter is none of your concern.” Wang Xintao originally intended to avoid Lv Guodong and secretly brought Lv Guoqing by herself but was unexpectedly discovered by Lv Guodong, who insisted on coming along.

”After tonight, your brother will have a wife, and your mom and dad will be at peace for the rest of their lives.” She didn’t need to worry about Boss Lv Guodong too much; relying on the Lv Family’s connections, he would definitely not do poorly.

What she worried about was her second son, Lv Guoqing.

Back then, Lv Zhongliang’s mother looked down on her, so to stabilize her position in the Lv Family, Wang Xintao secretly took medicine to give birth to a son when she was pregnant with Lao Er.

Who would’ve known, though it was indeed a son, due to the medicine, Lv Guoqing turned out to be foolish.

Over the years, everyone knew their family had two sons, but rarely did anyone know Lao Er was a fool.

A wife? What does that mean?

Lv Guodong suddenly remembered the scene from a while back when their family went to Gu Lingling’s house; he was puzzled why his mom was so enthusiastic towards Gu Lingling.

At the time, he thought maybe they wanted to pair Gu Lingling with him, so he didn’t object.

But now thinking about it, if they wanted him to marry, could his mom really approve of Gu Lingling?

Lv Guodong knew very well what kind of person Wang Xintao was.

”Who exactly is the wife you mentioned, Mom?” Lv Guodong asked, feigning indifference.

”Who else could it be? Just that girl Gu Lingling we went to see a few days ago,” Wang Xintao said disdainfully, ”I’m telling you, son, once Gu Lingling comes to our house, I’ll make sure she’s well disciplined.”

”If your dad and I were gone, you should make sure to keep an eye on your sister-in-law.”

”Him capable of marrying a wife?” Lv Guodong shouted.
