Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Not long after the Laba Festival, Gu Chunmei returned home.

”Look at what your aunt has bought for you.” As soon as Gu Chunmei returned, she heard her husband Li Laishi talking about the Gu Family matters, and she was so angry that she wanted to rush to Wang Meili’s house and have a big fight.

Li Laishi managed to persuade her otherwise, so she returned to the Gu Family carrying bags full of things.

This time, she had gone to the Capital City to study for half a year. During this half-year, the experience had a significant impact on Gu Chunmei, broadening her horizons greatly.

”Aunt, are you planning to move the entire Capital City back here?” Gu Lingling said in surprise, watching Gu Chunmei pulling out item after item.

”Many stores in the Capital City don’t require coupons for purchases anymore, so I bought a lot,” Gu Chunmei said proudly with a smile. ”I’ll dress up my little Lingling well.”

Gu Lingling knew that this year was probably the best year for national economic development during this movement, and as the center city, the Capital City was naturally very sensitive.

”Thank you, Aunt.” Yao Chunmei didn’t hold back at all, buying several new clothes for Gu Lingling, and even bringing back some good food from the Capital City, like roast duck.

Gu Lingling had a taste of the roast duck; its flavor was authentic, reminding her of the days at the Overseas Chinese Hotel.

The chef from their family had returned from abroad, blending Eastern and Western cultures together. He also made roast duck, but before doing so, not only would he massage the duck, but also marinate it with special sauce for a long time.

However, the taste of the roast duck he made was truly exceptional.

Once this movement is over, once the economy recovers, she would definitely find a way to make money.

Thinking of those recipes in her brain, Gu Lingling felt so excited.

”Your grandma is really a muddle-headed one.” Thinking about the things her old mother did, Gu Chunmei felt embarrassed to even mention it, ”And now she’s following that malicious Wang Meili, her future days... sigh...”

Wang Meili knows how to coax people, turning Old Mrs. Gu around her finger because she still has some value to use.

As long as Old Mrs. Gu is around, it’s impossible for us as her children to really ignore her.

Not to mention, Old Mrs. Gu is still capable and active now, and besides everything else, there’s still Old Sir Gu’s two yuan and fifty cents every month. How could Wang Meili not want her?

But once Old Mrs. Gu can’t work anymore, it would be hard to say.

But I’ve mentioned these things to Old Mrs. Gu, yet I was fiercely scolded not long after I started speaking.

”Speaking of which, Aunt.” Thinking about that day at the family division, the words Old Mrs. Gu scolded her with, and the fact that she just had her rebirth, the more Gu Lingling thought about it, the more it didn’t seem right.

Unfortunately, when Yao Ruanqian was giving birth, Gu Chunhai wasn’t home, and the only person she could ask was her aunt, Gu Chunmei.

Now, Gu Chunmei was finally back.

”Can you tell me about my mom? It must have been tough when she was pregnant with twins, right?”

”Of course.” Gu Chunmei recalled the time when her second sister-in-law was pregnant. Back then, she was just a young girl and didn’t know much, but she felt uncomfortable every day seeing her second sister-in-law with such a big belly.

”Your mom was really big because she was carrying the two of you.”

”At that time, no one knew she was having twins.”

There were even rumors saying that Yao Ruanqian got married to the countryside after getting pregnant with Gu Chunhai’s child first.

Otherwise, how could a mere rural lad like Gu Chunhai have ever married Yao Ruanqian?

You must know, back then, Yao Ruanqian was the beauty of the Transformer Factory, not only pretty but also cultured. Many people pursued her, so marrying Gu Chunhai was shocking to many.

But when the babies were born, those rumors naturally collapsed.

”I’ve heard that mothers of twins give birth early, is that true?” Gu Lingling asked.

”You little girl, you sure know a lot.” Gu Chunmei laughed and said, ”You two were born after eight and a half months.”
