Chapter 49: Dreaming

Gu Juan jumped off the kang angrily, deliberately making a loud noise, to let Gu Lingling know that she was very angry now. If Gu Lingling didn’t hurry to appease her, the consequences would be serious.

This was Gu Juan’s usual trick.

But this time it didn’t work.

She had already walked to the door and didn’t hear Gu Lingling call her to stop.

Gu Juan glared fiercely at the person on the kang, just as she was about to open the door, Gu Lingling moved.

Hmph, let’s see if I can’t handle you.

Gu Juan stood at the door with a smug sneer.

However, Gu Lingling just turned over and then remained motionless.

"Just you wait." Gu Juan shouted angrily at Gu Lingling, "You’ll regret it later."

Regret?

She regretted not being able to finish them, mother and daughter.

Seeing Gu Lingling not moving, Gu Juan stomped her foot, slammed the door, and ran out.

The only one she could turn to was Old Mrs. Gu.

But probably this time Old Mrs. Gu wouldn’t help her either.

When the Gu and Yao families got married, Old Mrs. Gu was very jealous of Grandma Yao, not only was she good at cooking, but also had skillful hands, making everything she did perfect.

Actually, none of this really mattered, it was just Old Mrs. Gu being petty. Old Man Gu praised Grandma Yao only a few times, and Old Mrs. Gu kept it in her heart with resentment.

Especially later when Old Man Gu injured his leg and had to lie on the kang, while Yao Zhenjiang’s status at the transformer factory kept rising. The key was, Yao Zhenjiang was so thoughtful and gentle with Grandma Yao, which was quite rare these days.

Why should Grandma Yao, who only had one daughter and couldn’t even bear a son to carry on the family name, have such a good life?

Old Mrs. Gu was so jealous, she hated others praising Grandma Yao in front of her.

After Gu Juan caused a scene a few days ago, Old Mrs. Gu already promised to make new clothes for her, and now she was still coveting Gu Lingling’s clothes, so how could Old Mrs. Gu be happy?

"Where are you going?" Gu Lingling was thinking about things when she heard Wang Meili’s voice outside.

Well, originally hoping to watch a good show, now with Wang Meili stopping her, Gu Juan probably wouldn’t be able to cause a scene in front of Old Mrs. Gu.

It wasn’t clear what Wang Meili said to Gu Juan, but when Gu Juan came back in, she didn’t say a word and directly turned off the lights and went to sleep.

That night, Gu Lingling didn’t sleep well.

She dreamed all night.

The scenes in her dreams were familiar places in Nanshui Village.

She dreamed of a girl being raped by a man.

She didn’t know the girl, but the man, Gu Lingling seemed to have seen before, looked familiar, but for a moment couldn’t remember who it was.

Gu Lingling didn’t know what the dream was supposed to mean.

Lately, she seemed to always dream of some messy things.

So real.

After washing her face with cold water, Gu Lingling finally cleared her head and completely put last night’s dream behind her.

"Gu Juan, let’s go, the visiting outsiders are here." Not long after lunch, Liu Miao ran over to call Gu Juan.

"They’re here so soon? Didn’t they say a few days later?" Gu Juan jumped off the kang excitedly and said, "How many people are there? Let’s go quickly and have a look."

After taking a few steps, she stopped again, "You wait for me outside for a bit."

Returning to her room, she picked and chose among her clothes before running to Old Mrs. Gu’s room.

"Lingling, aren’t you going?" While waiting for Gu Juan, Liu Miao asked Gu Lingling.

"No." Gu Lingling said flatly.

Hearing her words, Liu Miao let out a big sigh of relief.

Having not seen her for a few days, Liu Miao couldn’t believe Gu Lingling had become even prettier, how did she do it?

If she also went along, how could those visiting outsiders even notice her?
