Chapter 142: Suggesting Ideas
Today, Wang Meili had a hard time getting half a day off to accompany her daughter for the art troupe's selection.
Not long after Gu Juan came out, she hurried back to work.
As a temporary worker at the transformer factory, she wore the same clothes as the permanent workers. Every day when she returned to the village, she enjoyed the envy of the villagers with her head held high.
But privately, only those of them who were temporary workers knew the gap between temporary and permanent was more than just a little bit.
They did the dirtiest, most tiring, and arduous work but earned less than a third of what the others did. Even so, they had to endure the disdainful looks and sometimes even scolding.
Just like... a grandson.
It was not as relaxed as working on time in the village back then.
But this path was her choice, and she was determined to see it through even if it killed her.
She couldn't let Gu Chunhai look down on her.
It was also at this time that Wang Meili finally understood the meaningful smile Gu Lingling gave when she went to the Yao Family to ask for help to find a temporary job.
Previously, Wang Meili thought she was mocking her for having the nerve to ask the Yao Family for help.
But now she realized that Gu Lingling seemed to have anticipated this day, which was why she had spoken up for her without hesitation.
And then, she just waited to watch the joke unfold here.
This little~ bitch~ just wait, once she gets her breath and finds her footing at the transformer factory, she'll give that troublesome girl a good lesson.
Thinking of her previous plans, the corners of Wang Meili's mouth involuntarily curved up.
No matter how capable you are, what can you do? A woman's marriage is her second life. She might not be able to take away Gu Lingling's first life, but she could destroy her second one.
Just wait, once Gu Juan goes off to the army, she would have nothing to worry about.
Yet, Gu Juan hurriedly returned from the brigade office, and not seeing Wang Meili made her even more anxious.
Wei Yan Yan was unexpectedly taken away, and she didn't know if it was because something was exposed.
The more Gu Juan thought about it, the more frightened she became.
She had accidentally overheard Wei Yan Yan telling the kid to pass a message to Zhao Si'en.
As for why Wei Yan Yan wanted to deceive Zhao Si'en, that she didn't know.
However, since Zhao Si'en was close to Gu Lingling, and Gu Lingling openly disciplined Liu Miao in school, why couldn't she help deal with Zhao Si'en?
"Deliver the message like this, as if she would believe it." Gu Juan immediately decided to help Wei Yan Yan deal with Zhao Si'en.
Although she didn't know how Zhao Si'en had offended Wei Yan Yan, she didn't like either of them.
One secretly liked Tao Zhiran, and the other was close to Gu Lingling.
Watching them bite each other was perfect entertainment for her.
So, she gave Wei Yan Yan an idea, saying it was a message from Gu Lingling. As for why Gu Lingling didn't deliver it personally, she was too busy preparing for the art troupe's selection to do it herself.
Zhao Si'en had indeed believed it.
But it wasn't long before her show even started when Wei Yan Yan was taken away.
Why was she taken away?
She asked around a bit, but it seemed no one knew why.
Only then did Gu Juan regret it, realizing she should have found out Wei Yan Yan's plan to deal with Zhao Si'en beforehand.
Gu Juan was on pins and needles and finally waited until Wang Meili returned home from work.
"Mom, I think I'm in trouble." Gu Juan cried out to Wang Meili with a worried face.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Meili had just arrived home and had barely held it together by clenching her teeth when she reached the village entrance.
She had to find a house near the transformer factory quickly.
Before she even had a chance to catch her breath, Gu Juan dropped such a bombshell.
"What trouble have you caused?"
"Is Gu Juan home?"
Two voices sounded simultaneously.
