Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Gu Haojun hasn't returned home for several years. During this visit, he has a family leave for more than ten days. On the second day, Wang Meili specially took a day off to take Gu Haojun and Gu Juan back to her parents' home.

When they came back, Gu Haojun's face didn't look good, while Wang Meili was so happy she seemed to be walking on air.

Gu Lingling figured out the gist of it.

In her previous life, Gu Haojun only returned home for family leave at the end of the year. This year, Gu Haojun is already twenty-two years old, and in the countryside, if one gets married early, their child could be old enough to run errands.

So as soon as Gu Haojun came back, Wang Meili started making arrangements for him to meet a potential match.

And this match was Liu Peiling, the niece of Wang Meili's sister-in-law from her hometown.

Initially, Gu Haojun disagreed, but he couldn't resist Wang Meili's relentless pleading, even going as far as having Liu Peiling stay at their home for a short period, deliberately causing a scene for Gu Haojun to accidentally see Liu Peiling changing clothes.

Having seen the girl's body, how could he not marry her?

Although unintentionally involved in this situation, Gu Haojun, being a soldier, could only endure and accept it.

Little did he know that on the day they married, Gu Haojun received orders to immediately return to his unit, leaving without consummating the marriage.

A month later, Liu Peiling was pregnant.

Liu Peiling explained that she and Gu Haojun had already been intimate before marriage.

And Wang Meili actually believed her!

However, for reasons unknown, whether Liu Peiling didn't want the child or for some other reason, ultimately the child wasn't kept.

A few months later, when Gu Haojun returned home, he accidentally heard about this incident, leading to a big fight with Liu Peiling, which let Wang Meili and Old Mrs. Gu realize that the grandson they had longed for wasn't Gu Haojun's child at all.

It turned out Liu Peiling was already pregnant before marrying Gu Haojun.

From then on, Gu Haojun never returned home for family leave again.

Years later, after that movement passed, as the economy began to recover, Liu Peiling couldn't resist and ran away with someone from out of town.

As for what happened to Gu Haojun afterwards, Gu Lingling at that time was facing her own hardships and didn't pay attention any more.

Gu Lingling guessed right, as just a day later, Liu Peiling brought some snacks and fruits to the Gu Family.

"Grandma, I specially bought these snacks for you from the city; they're delicious. Please try them." Liu Peiling, just like in the previous life, spoke sweetly, making Old Mrs. Gu smile so broadly that her face was full of wrinkles.

"Juanzi, look at this hairpin, isn't it pretty? It's all the rage in the city right now." Liu Peiling said as she held up the hairpin to Gu Juan's head, "Our Juanzi looks good in any hairstyle."

"I don't want it." Gu Juan said blandly, pushing her arm away.

Liu Peiling stood there dumbfounded. She certainly didn't know that Gu Juan had cut her hair to constantly remind herself of the shame of that day.

Liu Peiling inadvertently touched Gu Juan's sore spot by mentioning her hair.

"Such a child's mood has been bad lately, don't mind her." Wang Meili laughed, trying to smooth things over, "Haohuan, Lingling is here. Why don't you take her for a walk?"

Lingling, Lingling.

Although these two words aren't the same, they are pronounced similarly. In the previous life, because of this, Liu Peiling frequently showed her displeasure towards Gu Lingling.

"There's nothing to see here. I'm accompanying my grandfather in a game of chess." Gu Haojun shouted from inside Old Sir Gu's room, not coming out at all.

"Look at this kid, nothing much to walk around here, so why don't you two go to the city for a stroll." Wang Meili laughed while standing at the doorway, looking at the grandson and grandfather in the side room, "You can play chess another day."

"Perfect, you can help mom buy some things along the way."

"Mom, you forgot that I have to go to work in a while." Gu Haojun said without lifting his head, "I'm not good at buying things, let Gu Juan tag along."

Liu Peiling's face immediately turned sour.
