Chapter 39: Administering Eye Medicine

"All of them come back without cooking, just know how to slack off, do you want me, an old woman, to feed you?" Just as the grandfather and grandson were talking, they heard Old Mrs. Gu shouting from outside the yard.

Gu Lingling stuck out her tongue and smiled at Old Sir Gu, "Grandpa, I’ll make something delicious for you tonight."

After saying that, she jumped off the bed and bounced out the door.

Sure enough, as soon as she went out, Old Mrs. Gu glared at her fiercely, "Enjoying the good food outside and still willing to come back?"

"Mom, how can you say that about Yaya?" Gu Chunhai said helplessly, "Yaya went to her grandmother’s house, you agreed to it."

But saying this when she comes back, what did the child do wrong?

Gu Lingling felt indifferent, towards this Grandma, she had no feelings at all, any kind of elder, the destiny was already over in the last life, so no matter how she acts, Gu Lingling just watched it as a show.

"What? I can’t even say something?" Old Mrs. Gu said angrily, "I think you’re almost fooled by the Yao Family. Do you also want to be a son of the Yao Family? Disgusted by your paralyzed father and your old mother?"

"I didn’t say anything, what are you doing with this talk?" Gu Chunhai said sullenly.

"Grandma, you worked hard." Gu Lingling said with a sigh, "But what to do? Grandma, don’t you know?"

"Know what? If you have something to say, say it quickly, don’t think about slacking off." Old Mrs. Gu said angrily.

"Grandma, you will have to work even harder in the future." Gu Lingling said regretfully, "Where did Aunt go today? Do you know?"

"Didn’t she say she was going to the city to buy something?" Old Mrs. Gu had a dark expression, "What kind of witchcraft are you up to? Spit it out quickly."

"Juanzi’s mother went to the city to find my father-in-law today." Gu Chunhai thought of what Wang Meili did today, originally he thought Old Mrs. Gu was aware, but didn’t expect she went behind her back.

If he hadn’t run into it today, would she have kept it from him too?

"Why did she go see your father-in-law?" Old Mrs. Gu asked in confusion.

"She heard a rumor that the transformer factory is recruiting, wanted my father-in-law to help her get into the transformer factory." Gu Chunhai said angrily, "Mom, didn’t you know about this?"

"What?" Old Mrs. Gu raised her voice a few decibels, then lowered it again and said awkwardly, "Oh, so there is such a thing."

Gu Chunhai could tell from her expression that his mother was unaware.

"So how did it go? Did your father-in-law agree?" Old Mrs. Gu asked.

"Grandma, my aunt can’t even recognize a single character, but they’re recruiting workers who can read." Gu Lingling pouted.

This is where Wang Meili’s skill lies, even doing such big things behind Old Mrs. Gu’s back, she wasn’t angry, still covering for her.

You could say that Old Mrs. Gu treats Wang Meili even better than her own daughter.

It’s just unknown how Wang Meili will repay her in the future.

"Get lost, what right do you have to butt into adult conversations." Old Mrs. Gu would be lying if she said she wasn’t angry, but since it’s Wang Meili, she vented all her anger on Gu Lingling.

"I’m thinking of you too, both Gu Juan and I need to go to school, if Aunt goes to work at the factory, the inside and outside of the house will be left to just you, Grandma." Gu Lingling said, feeling sorry, "Grandma, you will have to work harder."

"Don’t you think Aunt should have discussed with you before she went, is she afraid you would disagree?"

"Sigh, you’re so good to Aunt, as long as she tells you, how could you possibly disagree?"

"Didn’t you say they need to read?" Old Mrs. Gu asked in confusion.

Although she didn’t say it, in fact, when Old Mrs. Gu heard Wang Meili wanted to work at the transformer factory, she was a bit conflicted inside.

Just like Gu Lingling said, if Wang Meili had told her in advance, would she have really stopped her?

Gu Lingling looked at Old Mrs. Gu’s expression and knew what she was thinking inside, and couldn’t help but laugh inside.

Wang Meili probably didn’t expect her actions had actually planted a thorn in Old Mrs. Gu’s heart.

"She said if she can’t get a formal position, she could work as a temporary worker." Gu Lingling shrugged.

"Temporary worker?" Old Mrs. Gu shouted.
