Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path-Chapter 545: Ate Garlic

"He’s still standing there." Hao Lianlian said with a sob, "What should we do? I feel like crying too."

"Why can’t they just be together?" Hao Lianlian looked at Gu Lingling, the two exchanged a glance and sighed as they looked at Zhao Jingmiao, who was sobbing quietly under the covers on the bed.

Gu Lingling shook her head at her.

Seeing Zhao Jingmiao like this, Gu Lingling seemed to see herself in the past.

When Yang Yunhai confessed to her, she was just like Zhao Jingmiao now, too insecure to believe it, and then buried her head in the sand.

But you can’t say Zhao Jingmiao was wrong for doing this.

She was just too kind, too thoughtful, so she preferred to feel this sadness herself rather than hurt anyone else.

Dong Zhiming stood at the entrance of the tenement building for a long while, until it got gradually dark, and only then did he silently leave.

And Zhao Jingmiao, after crying, seemed to have let the matter go, continuing to go to work and come home as usual.

Life continued on like this.

Gu Lingling and Hao Lianlian rushed through their meals after work every day as if going to battle, and then hurried to night school.

The weather was getting colder and colder.

Tonight was an English class, and if they were late, Liu Qing would definitely scold them without hesitation.

This woman had found her opportunity and often acted like a teacher, flaunting her authority. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

However, she couldn’t find fault with Gu Lingling’s studies.

Because this rural little girl’s English pronunciation was surprisingly accurate, and she even knew more English terms than Liu Qing.

When Liu Qing asked, it turned out she had learned from a professor who once visited the countryside.

No wonder.

So she picked on her about being on time for class.

"Gu Lingling."

Hao Lianlian was sick and didn’t attend class that evening, leaving only Gu Lingling. Just as she reached the alley entrance, she ran into Zhang Qiang and Liu Miao. Liu Miao’s eyes seemed to shoot fire upon seeing Gu Lingling.

Ever since Liu Miao married Zhang Qiang, the Zhang Family treated her with high regard, all saying she was carrying a son.

Zhang Qiang’s mother was so pleased she couldn’t stop smiling, praising her to anyone she met.

But when the child was born, it turned out to be a daughter.

It’s said that when Zhang Qiang’s mother went into the hospital, she was full of joy, but upon hearing it was a daughter, she turned around and left.

A little girl, that’s just worthless, right?

Aunt Liu was infuriated.

If you, as the grandmother, won’t care, then why should I, as the maternal grandmother, bother?

So both mothers left.

Only Zhang Qiang was left to clumsily take care of things.

But Zhang Qiang was actually quite good; he cared for his daughter even more than Liu Miao did, whereas Liu Miao, the mother, resented her daughter because she was a girl and also because of the anger from her mother-in-law and her own mother.

And Zhang Qiang would always smile and laugh to appease them.

After this incident, many people said that Zhang Qiang, who usually seemed so lazy, was actually not bad; at least he was good to his daughter and to Liu Miao.

Liu Miao could be considered as benefiting from this misfortune.

Whether or not she could appreciate this blessing depended on whether Liu Miao cherished it.

But seeing Liu Miao’s demeanor at the moment, Gu Lingling felt that she was not someone who would appreciate such blessings.

Her arrogant demeanor was already unlikable, and now it was even more off-putting.

"Oh, isn’t this our young lady Gu Lingling." Liu Miao said mockingly, "So eager to meet your lover?"

"Did you eat garlic tonight?" Gu Lingling retorted sarcastically, "No wonder your breath stinks."

"Make sure to brush your teeth well when you get home so you don’t stink up your daughter."

"You cheap..." Liu Miao started to curse, then suddenly smiled, "Good, very good."

Gu Lingling had no idea what madness had overtaken Liu Miao and paid her no mind, walking past them towards night school.

"How is she?" Liu Miao asked Zhang Qiang, squinting at Gu Lingling’s back.
