Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path Chapter 20: Conduct a Thorough Investigation

The hurriedly returning Gu Lingling naturally did not know Old Man Zhou’s feelings, nor did she notice the fleeting shadow in the woods as she passed by.

She only relaxed once she got ho, and continued steaming buns.

By the ti Gu Chunhai got up, Gu Lingling’s buns were already steaming.

"Dad, hurry up and freshen up, the buns will be ready soon." Gu Lingling sweetly smiled, causing Gu Chunhai to be montarily dazed.

At that mont in the kitchen, he thought he’d dread of his wife again.

Although the buns were made with cornal mixed with a bit of flour, Gu Lingling added so lard inside, and the aroma was noticeable even before they were done.

"My daughter is really capable," Gu Chunhai praised with a smile.

"Dad, would you like to try so?" After Gu Chunhai freshened up, Gu Lingling’s buns were already out of the pot. "I’ll take a few to Grandpa."

Gu Chunhai watched the little girl carry the stead buns to the front yard, her eyes flashing with unknown contemplation.

"Grandpa, these buns I stead, try them." Gu Juan handed the buns to Old Man Gu. "I’ll bring you so vegetable soup soon."

Old Man Gu used to be a worker at the steel factory. That year, there was an accident, and in trying to save the factory’s important equipnt, he injured a leg on a machine and could only lie on the bed.

To compensate him, the steel factory allowed Gu Lingling’s uncle, Gu Chunli, to replace Old Man Gu’s position and gave Old Man Gu a five yuan subsidy every month.

Don’t underestimate these five yuan. Nowadays, even a pound of pork is only seven mao.

A regular worker at the steel factory earns only about thirty yuan a month.

What’s more, besides the monetary subsidy, there are coupons.

So, even though Wang ili despised her paralyzed father-in-law, for the sake of that subsidy, she hoped Old Man Gu would live many more years.

However, Gu Lingling genuinely respected and liked this grandfather.

Because before Grandpa was paralyzed, he was the one who treated Gu Lingling the best in the family. Every ti he returned, he’d bring her things and even secretly gave her pocket money, advising her not to tell Gu Juan.

Thinking of the pocket money she’d saved, Gu Lingling’s eyes almost squinted with joy.

"Grandpa, I might not be ho for a few days, store these buns well. You can eat them when you’re hungry." Gu Lingling said, thinking of her plan with a smile.

Fortunately, the weather isn’t hot now, so there’s no worry about the buns spoiling at Grandpa’s place.

After settling Grandpa, when Gu Lingling returned to the backyard, Gu Juan was already seated at the table eating buns. Seeing Gu Lingling co in, Gu Chunhai smiled and said, "Lingling, co and eat, and then we’ll go to school together."

Gu Lingling glanced at Gu Juan, took a bun, and bit into it. Since Gu Juan was already sitting here eating, she saw no reason to wait for Old Mrs. Gu.

"Dad, I haven’t been to Grandma’s house in a long ti. After school, I’ll visit them. I haven’t seen my younger brother in a while too. When you co back, can you pick up?"

Gu Chunhai runs long distances, and it would take over ten days for him to return this ti. She definitely didn’t want to stay at ho and be bullied by this mother-daughter pair.

Gu Chunhai was stunned, then quickly realized Gu Lingling’s intention and nodded, "Okay, I’ll tell your grandma later."

"Thank you, Dad." Gu Lingling sweetly smiled.

Gu Juan was seething with jealousy.

Yesterday, she didn’t notice as Gu Lingling went to school before she got up, but today she noticed that Gu Lingling had changed a lot, becoming much prettier than before.

Gu Juan always knew Gu Lingling was attractive, but she didn’t realize that just by tidying her hair, her appearance could imdiately change.

Especially when she smiles, there’s an indescribable beauty.

Old Mrs. Gu, after knowing, agreed without much reaction. Gu Lingling not being ho to eat ant saving a few more als.

Gu Chunhai sent Gu Lingling to school and then detoured to the transforr factory residential area to inform his father-in-law, before going to work.

In his hand was a large teacup; it contained tea Gu Lingling had specially brewed for him in the morning, said to refresh him. The tea leaves were picked while collecting wild vegetables on the mountain yesterday.

Gu Chunhai felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillnt.

How many years had it been since he felt this way? Perhaps since his wife had passed away.

Gu Juan, however, was throwing a tantrum at ho, "That little bitch must’ve found out, that’s why she ran away. Mom, I don’t care, you have to get revenge for ."

"Don’t worry. Once that little rascal cos back, watch deal with her."

For these past days, not only has Gu Juan been frustrated, but Wang ili has been very upset too.

"Once your dad cos back, I’ll tell him to enroll you in school imdiately. Investigate well, and find out who has been advising that little rascal behind the scenes."

Wang ili said through gritted teeth.

She simply couldn’t believe that Gu Lingling had beco smarter after just one illness. Soone must be giving her ideas from behind.

At night, Gu Lingling had a peculiar dream, dreaming Wang ili was calculating sothing, not watching the road, and bumped into the door, bruising half her face.

It looked so ridiculous.
