Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Gu Lingling frowned as she looked at Gu Zhouzhu, ”Zhouzhu, what were you doing in my room just now?”

He ran into her room without a word, which made Gu Lingling suspicious.

Especially since Gu Zhouzhu had a criminal record for theft in his previous life.

”What? Your cousin can’t even come to your room when he’s back?” Gu Chunli was like a porcupine now, pricking whoever said something.

”Uncle,” Gu Lingling said with a smile, ”after all, I’m a girl, and Zhouzhu, being a boy, running into a girl’s room without a word, that’s not a good habit, can’t I even ask?”

Gu Chunli was left speechless by her retort.

”You wretched boy, what are you doing in her room for no reason?” Gu Chunli slapped Gu Zhouzhu.

”Dad, I was just sleepy and went in to lie down for a bit,” Gu Zhouzhu cried out as he was hit, ”She’s just a girl, yet she sleeps on such a big kang. Dad, let’s move back to live here.”

He had just seen that the kang in Gu Lingling’s room was bigger than what his family of three shared. How could just a girl take up such space?

He was the eldest grandson of the Gu Family, after all.

Over the years, Gu Zhouzhu had been living with Gu Chunli and Liu Xiufeng, along with the Li Family. The Li Family was standardly sexist, so even after Liu Xiufeng married Gu Chunli, she still had to hand over living expenses to Old Mrs. Li every month.

The same went for Gu Chunli, who also had to turn over a certain amount of living expense every month.

To Old Mrs. Li, daughters were considered a loss-making venture, so even after marrying out, they had to work hard for their family sons.

Over time, Gu Zhouzhu developed the same mindset.

Gu Lingling was a loss-maker, yet this loss-maker occupied such a big kang, while he, the eldest grandson of the Gu Family, squeezed into a small room, how could this be.

”Move back? Go out now,” Gu Chunli grabbed his son’s clothes and dragged him outside.

Gu Lingling, on the other hand, went into her room.

This Gu Zhouzhu was just a destroyer; seeing the clothes he had rummaged all over the kang, Gu Lingling really wished she could go after him right now and give him a good lesson.

Lifting the mat, sure enough, the twenty cents under the mat were gone.

Fortunately, her money was hidden in a secret place that Gu Zhouzhu couldn’t find; otherwise, it would have been a huge loss.

It seemed that in the future, if she wasn’t home, she must lock her room.

”Did anything go missing?” Gu Chunhai asked with a not-so-good expression as he entered.

”Nothing much, just the twenty cents under the mat are gone,” Gu Lingling said helplessly.

”Dad, Uncle wasn’t happy today because he didn’t borrow any grain. He definitely won’t be able to borrow anything from there,” Gu Lingling said while tidying up her clothes, ”He will definitely come again.”

”Yes, Dad knows.” Gu Chunhai had long been disappointed in this brother, ”Don’t worry, our family’s grain isn’t enough either.”

”Right, we have to last until next year,” Gu Lingling said as she folded clothes, ”Zhouzhu’s habit is also bad. Dad, please tell Grandpa later, and your things are all packed up.”

She’s not being petty, but because they still owed debts for buying a house for Old Mrs. Gu.

The twenty cents was given to her by Old Sir Gu not long ago to buy something to eat, and she hadn’t used it yet. Now it was stolen by Gu Zhouzhu, so Gu Lingling couldn’t bear it.

”I know, I’ll get a lock for your room door later.”

Today’s actions by Gu Zhouzhu had reminded Gu Chunhai that his daughter had grown up. Although Old Sir Gu was always around at home, he stayed in the main room. If someone really came to hide in the house, he wouldn’t notice.

”Thanks, Dad.”
