Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Wang Xiaoqian didn’t want to go out, but Old Mrs. Wang needed to have the oil tea from the street corner, nothing else would suffice.

She is a bit foolish, yet obedient enough. Although she wouldn’t throw a tantrum, she’d sit there stubbornly and refuse to eat.

Wang Xiaoqian is very filial.

She softened her stance and agreed.

As a result, she ran into someone closely associated with Guo Chundan at the alley entrance, who kept looking at her several times.

Wang Xiaoqian’s eyelids kept twitching, she had a bad feeling.

Afraid that something might happen.

”Mom,” Wang Xiaoqian said to Old Mrs. Wang, ”How about we play hide and seek later?”

As she fed Old Mrs. Wang the oil tea she said, ”Until you find me, you can’t go anywhere, and no matter what happens outside, you can’t go out, alright?”

Old Mrs. Wang shook her head, ”Don’t go.”

Afraid Wang Xiaoqian would leave.

”Mom.” Wang Xiaoqian smiled while feeding her, ”I won’t go, Qianqian won’t go anywhere.”

But still, she had to hide her mom, otherwise, what if that person came?

Couldn’t help but feel some regret, wondering if she trusted those two young people’s words too much back then?

But should she let her mom suffer like her?

Even though she’s been beaten for so many years, Wang Xiaoqian still wanted to resist deep down, she couldn’t just give in like that.

”Mom, as long as you’re fine, Qianqian will be fine.” Wang Xiaoqian buried her head in Old Mrs. Wang’s arms, ”Mom.”

Her mom, though not related by blood.

But just because of that one word ’Qianqian’, they’ve depended on each other for so many years.

Also because of her, she’s endured grievances for so many years.

If only she could have resisted more fiercely back then, maybe she wouldn’t have had to marry Guo Chundan, and her mom wouldn’t have suffered all these years.

Thinking about it made Wang Xiaoqian feel heartache.

Oh heavens, when will this kind of life come to an end?

Sometimes, she even thought, maybe it’d be better to just die, dying would be a relief.

But every time she sees Old Mrs. Wang like that, every time she gets lovingly embraced, even though she’s grown so big, her mother would still brush her hair, singing beautiful nursery rhymes while doing so.

Wang Xiaoqian didn’t want to die.

She couldn’t bear to.

Life, oh why is it so difficult?

Not wanting anything to happen also included Grandma Yao, who was drinking medicine.

”Grandma will be fine.” Grandma Yao smiled as she placed the medicine bowl on the table, ”Look at you all worrying so much, these are just old ailments.”

Every year around this time, with the change in weather, it happens, just need some time to recuperate.

”I still haven’t found your grandma yet, can’t have anything happen.” Grandma Yao said with a smile, ”Go, go do what you need to do.”

”Baobao, go attend to your shop, I’m fine here with your sister.” Grandma Yao held Gu Lingling’s hand and said, ”Did you remember I told you about the cloth doll your grandma made? I found it.”

Being old, her memory was bad, clearly remembered storing it in a box, but repeatedly couldn’t find where the box was placed.

Then, a couple of days ago, while suddenly looking for something, she found it.

”Go take it from that box, just the one on the table.” Grandma Yao pointed.

”Alright.” Gu Lingling smiled and patted Grandma Yao’s hand, ”I’ll go check it out, you said I played with it when I was young?”

”Yes.” Grandma Yao sighed, ”But my craftsmanship is not as good as Miss’s.”

Miss’s craftsmanship was such that whatever she made looked like the real thing.

”Grandma... Grandma?”
