Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

The rain pattered down all night again, stopping only when dawn was about to break.

Wang Meili was going to report to the transformer factory today, so she left early in the morning.

Seeing that Gu Juan hadn't budged, Gu Lingling stayed lazing in bed. Anyway, she's made up her mind; from now on, whatever Gu Juan does at home, she'll follow suit. It's impossible for her to be a fool like before, doing everything perfectly well and still not being appreciated.

"You lazy girl, why are you still sleeping? Hurry up and make breakfast." Old Mrs. Gu got up to water the vegetables in the yard and angrily pushed open the door to scold upon seeing that Gu Lingling had yet to stir.

"Gu Juan, Grandma wants you to make breakfast." Gu Lingling kicked Gu Juan with her foot, "I made breakfast yesterday morning, it's your turn today."

"Grandma." Gu Juan pretended to be dead under the quilt, but she couldn't keep up the act after Gu Lingling kicked her, so she looked at Old Mrs. Gu pitifully.

"I think you are just being stubborn, aren't you?" Old Mrs. Gu picked up the broom next to the bed and swung it at Gu Lingling.

Gu Lingling, now learning grappling with Yang Yunhai, has become quite agile. She dodged quickly and moved to Gu Juan's side, causing Old Mrs. Gu's unrestrained hand to hit Gu Juan's face with the broom.

"Ah!"

In the early morning in Nanshui Village, Gu Juan's pig-like scream scared the little birds in the yard tree and they all flew away.

These days of grievances combined with last night's egg incident, Gu Juan repeatedly told herself to be calm and patient, but she was truly unable to wait for the opportunity Wang Meili spoke of.

"Gu Juan, what's wrong with you? Grandma resents your laziness and hits you, yet you blame me." Gu Lingling taunted with a smile.

Gu Juan had been repeatedly provoked, her eyes now bloodshot.

If not for Wang Meili's admonition, she would have already clawed at Gu Lingling's pretty face.

She's long wanted to ruin that pretty face.

Let her try to seduce others in the future. If she were disfigured, she didn't believe Yang Yunhai would still spare Gu Lingling a glance.

In the future, everyone's gaze would be fixed on her instead.

Without Gu Lingling, she would be the prettiest in Nanshui Village.

Yang Yunhai could only like her, Gu Juan.

Gu Juan looked fiercely at Gu Lingling's face, just wait. Once she moves to the city and her mother gains a firm footing at the transformer factory, her first task is to ruin this face that she finds loathsome.

"You damn girl." Old Mrs. Gu threw the little broom at Gu Lingling, then looked at Gu Juan with concern, "Juanzi, Grandma didn't do it on purpose, let Grandma take a look and see if you're okay?"

"I'm fine, Grandma." Gu Juan lay down impatiently.

"Alright, you go on and sleep, Grandma will make breakfast for you." She glared fiercely at Gu Lingling, patted the dust off her clothes, and walked out.

When breakfast was served, the rain started again. Gu Juan held up an egg, flaunting it at Gu Lingling.

Gu Lingling ignored Gu Juan's provocation, finished her meal, placed the bowl down, and returned to her room.

When Gu Juan returned to the room, she saw Gu Lingling holding a book, reading, and couldn't help but sneer, "Stop pretending to be virtuous."

Gu Lingling still ignored her.

Whether virtuous or not, only she knows.

If she doesn't seize the moment to learn as much as she can now, there will be plenty of people crying once the exams resume after the movement ends.

Gu Juan went back to lazing in bed after breakfast, while Gu Lingling couldn't be bothered watching her, carrying her book and heading outside.

"Where are you going?" Gu Juan suddenly sat up from the bed.

"None of your business." Gu Lingling replied without even glancing at her, heading to Old Man Gu's room.
