Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path Chapter 160: Make a Call
Gu Lingling walked along the path, cursing Lv Guodong's family to no end. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, but once she cald down, she realized sothing was off.
There was no way Wang ili did this without reason.
Marrying her off to Lv Guodong, at least for now, would be considered a favorable match to outsiders.
Lv Guodong's family lived in the city, and his parents had respectable jobs; their family was well-off. Marrying into them was certainly better than marrying a village farr and struggling to have enough to eat every day.
Could it be to prevent her from competing with Gu Juan for a spot in the art troupe?
If it was rely for this reason, there was no need to marry her off to Lv Guodong. Knowing Wang ili's venomous mind, not pairing her with soone crippled would already be a small rcy.
How could Lv Guodong, who seed like a decent son-in-law candidate in the eyes of many, be chosen?
There must be sothing she's unaware of.
Gu Lingling hadn't figured out what was going on, and before long, Zhang Lanzhi ca looking for her.
There were rumors in the village that Gu Lingling was in a relationship with so young master from the city.
Those city boys wouldn't be interested in rural girls like them. They're only there to toy with these little girls' feelings.
"Lingling, listen to Auntie's advice, don't get confused now," Zhang Lanzhi said as Gu Lingling stood there dumbfounded, her heart sinking, "None of those city boys are good people, don't be swayed by others and end up..."
She primarily didn't believe Wang ili would just let Gu Lingling marry into the city so easily.
"Aunt Lanzhi, I haven't," Gu Lingling was shocked and hurriedly said, "I've been at Granny's house all these days, you know that."
"Then who spread those damned rumors?" Zhang Lanzhi was furious. Wasn't this going to ruin their Lingling? "As long as it's not true, but this can't just be left alone, village chief, we need to think of a solution."
But these rumors were in others' mouths, what could they do? People don't say anything face to face, but what about behind their backs?
"Aunt Lanzhi, I do have an idea." Gu Lingling's lips curled slightly. To stop a rumor, the best way is to create a more sensational one to overshadow it.
Gu Lingling whispered a few words into Zhang Lanzhi's ear, and Zhang Lanzhi looked at Gu Lingling in amazent, "It's really that wretched woman!"
Upon hearing Gu Lingling's words, Zhang Lanzhi's face darkened instantly.
What if it's real? What then?
The village chief stood awkwardly to the side. The two talked without any regard for him, and if what Gu Lingling said was true, then Wang ili was truly despicable!
He had thought Gu Chunhai being with her was alright before, but after a few hints from the old village chief, who was his dad, and seeing the incidents in the Gu Family, he finally realized.
Wang ili was indeed a cunning woman who deceived with her sweetness.
It's a pity she's been too adept socially over the years, gaining a reputation as a virtuous woman among many in Nanshui Village.
"Village Chief Uncle, could you help with sothing?" Gu Lingling asked.
"Tell ," her words interrupted the village chief's thoughts and he adjusted his expression earnestly, "As long as it's sothing Uncle can do."
Gu Lingling, feeling a bit embarrassed, rubbed the back of her head. She had intentionally not avoided the village chief while speaking to Zhang Lanzhi.
"It's not a big deal, just borrowing the village headquarters' phone." Gu Lingling said with a sweet smile.
Looking at Gu Lingling like this, Zhang Lanzhi and the village chief exchanged a glance, then smiled with relief.
This child has grown up.
Though they didn't know what she wanted to do with the phone, her strategic response and solution to the rumors were more intelligent than those handled by adults.
But the village chief, having experienced many things, thought even more deeply than Gu Lingling and Zhang Lanzhi.
Based on what Gu Lingling just said, was this child suspecting these rumors were spread by Wang ili?
Then when Gu Chunhai returns, he really needs to have a good chat with this brother he grew up with.
