Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path Chapter 18: Administering Eye Drops

When Gu Lingling got ho, it was already almost dark.

Gu Juan saw Gu Lingling returning and gave a cold smile, looking like she was ready to watch a show.

Gu Lingling didn’t speak, and after putting her school bag back in the house, she went to the kitchen, "Why don’t you just starve to death? Just started school and don’t behave, bullying classmates, and playing until it’s so dark before coming back."

Old Mrs. Gu casually picked up a fire poke in the kitchen and hit Gu Lingling with it.

Gu Lingling turned to the side, the poke hit her arm, but it didn’t hurt that much, "Grandma, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I’m hitting you for being lazy and idle, not knowing to co back and help after school, just fooling around." Old Mrs. Gu cursed as she hit, but how could Gu Lingling just stand there and let her hit?

She rushed out of the kitchen and ran outside, bumping into the recently returned Gu Chunhai, "Dad, help!"

"Mom, what’s going on?" Gu Chunhai said helplessly, protecting Gu Lingling behind him.

"What’s going on? You ask your dear daughter." Old Mrs. Gu angrily threw the fire poke on the ground, "Not coming ho after school, just fooling around, she just got in, tell if she deserves a beating or not?"

"Grandma, who said I went fooling around?" Gu Lingling said, feeling wronged.

"Isn’t Liu Miao in the sa class as you? She said it when she ca over to play." Old Mrs. Gu snorted coldly, "Does she still need to go to school? She should just co back early."

"Liu Miao just knows how to bully in class, she even tried to steal my lunch today, how can you believe her?" Gu Lingling felt even more wronged, "Besides, I went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables after school."

Gu Lingling said sadly, "I didn’t give her my lunch, so she ca back to falsely accuse , just to make you hit ."

"Grandma, I put the wild vegetables under the eaves." Gu Lingling pointed to the cloth bag and said, "If you don’t believe , you can go and check if what I’m saying is true?"

"Hmm, so you didn’t think of sending a ssage back? I see you’re just wild every day." Old Mrs. Gu said awkwardly.

"Oh, Mom, Lingling just wants to eat dumplings with wild vegetables, don’t scold her." Wang ili finally ca out of the room and said with a smile.

"All she thinks about is eating, how can a girl be so gluttonous." Old Mrs. Gu snorted coldly.

That little guilt in her heart disappeared with Wang ili’s words.

"My dad is leaving on a trip tomorrow, I want to make so dumplings for him to take along." Gu Lingling said tenderly, "Look at how thin my dad has beco lately."

When it cos to playing the sympathy card, she wasn’t bad at it either.

Gu Chunhai felt a warmth in his heart, yet a deep sense of guilt also grew.

This daughter whom he had never cared for was showing more concern for him than his own mother.

"Isn’t that right, I was still thinking of making sothing for Chunhai tonight, it’s still my Lingling who’s considerate." Wang ili said with a smile.

But anyone could see that smile wasn’t natural.

"Dad, I’ll fetch you so water to wash your face." Gu Juan said with a smile, "My mom also said she was going to make you so pancakes to take along tonight, now it’s good, we have dumplings."

"Chunhai works so hard for our family." Wang ili said emotionally.

"You’re also working hard, taking care of the elderly and looking after the young ones." Old Mrs. Gu waved at Wang ili, indicating not to mind, "Aren’t you going to make dumplings for your dad? Why are you still standing around?"

"Got it, Grandma." Gu Lingling didn’t mind Old Mrs. Gu’s attitude at all, she hooked her arm with Gu Chunhai’s and smiled sweetly, "Dad, have you eaten? Let’s eat together."

"Dad ate a bit outside; you eat on your own." Gu Chunhai was a bit taken aback by his daughter clinging to his arm, and it wasn’t until she pulled him into the kitchen that he rembered he had already eaten dinner.

"Then just keep your daughter company and have a little." Gu Lingling said with a smile, "Dad, you work hard driving long distances every day, you must take care of your health."

Gu Chunhai felt a bitter sorrow in his heart, "Lingling, it’s dad’s fault."

He had paid too little attention to her before.

"Let dad see your arm." He had seen his mother hit her with the fire poke just now.

"Dad, no need to look, Grandma didn’t hit hard, it doesn’t hurt." Gu Lingling said with her head down.

But she couldn’t resist Gu Chunhai, and still pulled up her sleeve, revealing a bruised arm.

"It really doesn’t hurt," Gu Lingling lowered her sleeve, compared to the beatings she had suffered before, it was really nothing, "Moreover, I ca back late and didn’t leave a ssage at ho. Dad, how about we skip dinner, and save room for dumplings tomorrow?"

"How can that do, how can you not have dinner?" Gu Chunhai said, then glanced darkly at the kitchen.
