Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Gu Lingling didn’t let them inquire about the small militia matters, she just wanted them to find out what happened after Wang Meili moved to the city, and who she was closely associated with.

For Yao Jingsong, this was a piece of cake.

”Who would’ve thought that even after the separation, so many things could happen.” Grandma Yao sighed.

Now, she exercises every day according to Liu Xinyun’s health regimen, and she looks much healthier than before.

As for the knot in her heart, it hasn’t completely unraveled, but she has set it aside for now. As the old man said, she is the backbone of the family. If something happens to her, not mentioning the two children, it’s uncertain if the old man could hold on.

”I wonder how Old Man Zhou is doing now?” Gu Lingling looked worryingly at the darkening sky outside, hoping the new cotton would have some effect.

At the very least, it should prevent him from ending up like in the dream, where he was brought back and was already beyond help.

She regretted a bit; she had been too careless, thinking that with Wang Meili and Gu Juan coming here, there would be some buffer time, so she hadn’t paid much attention to them.

Who knew they would exploit the opportunity.

This incident taught Gu Lingling a lesson. No matter what, she must always keep an eye on this mother-daughter pair.

Disasters can last for a thousand years.

Yao Jingsong was quite fast. He returned before nightfall with some very useful information.

”Little Hei’s family happens to be neighbors with theirs.” Yao Jingsong took a sip of water, only then feeling the warmth return to him, and continued, ”Lately, Gu Juan had been staying at home and not going out, and it’s only been recently that she started going out.”

”Her militia deputy captain was arranged by Lv Zhongliang.”

”Wang Meili threatened Lv Zhongliang with Gu Juan’s matter, saying if he didn’t help, she’d go and report Wang Xintao and Lv Guoqing.”

The reason Little Hei knew so much was that Wang Xintao specially went to Wang Meili’s house because of this matter, and the two sisters started fighting in the courtyard.

The scene, tsk tsk... even Little Hei, who grew up seeing fights, found it terrifying.

When women get ruthless, it’s really scary.

”But... I heard from Little Hei that one night he ran into Lv Zhongliang outside.” Yao Jingsong asked suspiciously, ”So late, why would he come here, could he have gone to Gu Juan’s house?”

Gu Lingling, being the same age as Yao Jingsong but having lived two lives, naturally didn’t naively think like Yao Jingsong that Lv Zhongliang went to solve Gu Juan’s problems.

It seems Wang Meili must have more dirt on Lv Zhongliang.

”Where did the small militia take the people?” Gu Lingling asked.

”This I do know.” Yao Jingsong smiled proudly, then received a gentle smack on the back of his head from Gu Lingling, ”Hurry up.”

At this time, there was no time for dawdling.

”In that abandoned factory.” Yao Jingsong hurriedly said, ”Every time they bring people back, they lock them up there.”

”Can you take me to see it?” Gu Lingling asked softly.

”Lingling.” Grandma Yao exclaimed in surprise, ”Why do you want to go to that place?”

Gathering information was already good enough; she didn’t want anything to happen to her granddaughter.

”Grandma, I won’t be at ease if I don’t go.” Gu Lingling said firmly.

”Let her go.” Yao Zhenjiang, who had been silent, said, ”Just Lingling, don’t act impulsively. If anything happens to you, your grandma and I... we...”

”I promise, grandpa.” Gu Lingling interrupted him.

”Be careful, and take care of your sister.” Grandma Yao carefully instructed Yao Jingsong again.

As for Yao Jingsong, he was used to being wild outside and they never really worried about him.
