Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance-Chapter 94 Dealing with Li Dongxiang

After Wu Chunmei finished speaking, it seemed she remembered something.

She looked towards Ye Honglian.

"Could it be her?"

Ye Honglian seemed to recall something as well.

"Probably not!"

"Sister-in-law, are you guys getting at something mysterious here?"

Gu Yi looked at the two, as if they knew something. She’s been listening for quite a while and it’s driving her crazy.

"Yiyi, do you know anyone named Yang Lin?"

Ye Honglian asked.

"Yeah, I’ve met her once before, what’s up?"

Hearing this, Gu Yi guessed it might have something to do with Yang Lin.

"Before you came, she pursued Ye Hao for quite a while. At the time, everyone thought they would be together, considering the saying ’it’s easy for a woman to chase a man’."

Ye Honglian stopped at this point and glanced at Gu Yiyi.

"Sister-in-law, I’m fine, please continue."

Gu Yi knew these things in her previous life, she used to care, but now her relationship with Ye Hao is stable. She doesn’t want to bring herself trouble by getting jealous over old news.

"But Ye Hao never agreed, and gradually distanced himself from her. Before he went to the military academy, people said Ye Hao was already married. That day, I happened to be at the clinic getting medicine and saw her smashing things. When Ye Hao went to the military school, she got transferred to the B City military hospital as well. At that time, everyone guessed she moved to be closer to Ye Hao."

"I never expected these things, no wonder you stopped me from talking yesterday."

Wu Chunmei sighed as she listened.

"Could it be that she turned hatred into revenge, and used Li Dongxiang’s hands?"

Wu Chunmei thought more and felt it was possible.

"We’re not sure what’s going on here, but Yiyi, be careful around Li Dongxiang, she’s skilled in making scenes. Actually, Chen Jun’s stagnant career over the years can partly be blamed on her."

Ye Honglian was worried that Gu Yi might suffer losses to Li Dongxiang, so she quickly warned her.

"Thanks for the heads-up, sisters, now that I know all this, I’ll definitely be careful in the future."

Although Gu Yi didn’t know these things in her previous life, they probably did happen. She didn’t like to socialize and lived in the city back then, so she didn’t encounter these situations.

Back then, Ye Hao was alone, and there were no signs of any impact on him. In this life, she won’t let anyone ruin Ye Hao’s prospects.

They chatted awhile longer.

Qiangqiang and Nuonuo were both in kindergarten. Ye Honglian and Wu Chunmei were mindful that they were about to finish school, so they partnered up and left.

Gu Yi closed the door as well, planning to go buy some groceries.

Unexpectedly, she didn’t walk far before running into Li Dongxiang.

"Sister-in-law, going grocery shopping?"

She seemed as if nothing had happened, greeting Gu Yi warmly.

"Yeah, sister-in-law going shopping too?"

Acting, right? Who can’t act?

Gu Yi pretended not to know Li Dongxiang was gossiping about her behind her back.

The two went together to the grocery area.

Because yesterday she had guests over, the food was quite greasy.

Today, she bought just some vegetables.

"Sis, why are you buying just these veggies every day? Buy some meat! Deputy Battalion Commander Ye trains so hard every day, he needs to eat meat!"

Li Dongxiang appeared to be concerned for Gu Yi.

Gu Yi thought about it, and found she wasn’t completely wrong.

She glanced at the small piece of meat in Li Dongxiang’s hand and had an idea.

"Sister-in-law really cares for Chen Lianzhang, huh? I didn’t even think of that? Is there any meat left at the stall?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dongxiang thought smugly, Oh, say-she’s-from-the-village, hasn’t-seen-the-world. Not considering she herself came from a village as well, just earlier than Gu Yi.

"Sis, is the stall out of meat? Why did you only get this small piece? Don’t talk about Chen Lianzhang; it’s not even enough as a toothpick for you."

Gu Yi spoke loudly on purpose as there were some other military spouses buying vegetables nearby.

Normally, Li Dongxiang hated being called stingy, and now some were watching her.

She felt her face burning.

She reluctantly went along with Gu Yi’s words.

"Yeah, just these leftovers. Otherwise, I always buy two or three pounds at once."

They were some distance from the meat stall, so Li Dongxiang assumed Gu Yi wasn’t going to the stall for more meat, so she just exaggerated.

"Sis is so generous, but just heard the veggie vendor say some new meat just got delivered. Shall we take a look to save sister-in-law a pointless trip?"

Gu Yi actually saw there was meat left when she was buying vegetables, quite a bit actually.

From Ye Honglian and Wu Chunmei, she heard Li Dongxiang’s family relied solely on Chen Jun’s stipend, plus sending some money back monthly to his parents, so life’s tough.

But Li Dongxiang loved showing off, so Gu Yi deliberately provoked her.

"Today, let’s skip it; been walking all half a day, tired. Let’s head back first."

Li Dongxiang said, wanting to quickly get rid of Gu Yi and leave.

Gu Yi couldn’t let her escape, so she warmly linked her arm.

"Sister-in-law, be nice, accompany me to take a look. I still have to thank you for the reminder."

Gu Yi leaned on Li Dongxiang, but secretly exerted force on her arm, dragging Li Dongxiang to the meat stall.

There were two slabs left, each about four or five pounds.

"Sister-in-law, we are lucky, two slabs left. You were talking about getting two or three pounds, now you won’t waste your trip, right? Sister-in-law, you’re older, you pick first. Whatever you pick, I’ll take what’s left, just a small thank you for reminding me."

Gu Yi spoke loudly.

People paused what they were doing, glancing over.

Back then, it wasn’t like later when people ate meat daily. Aside from holidays, when buying meat, folks got just a little to enjoy. Hearing someone was buying so much, they’d want to see who’s so lavish.

Li Dongxiang really wanted to ignore Gu Yi and walk away, but Gu Yi shouted so loudly, with many watching, if she left, she’d hand Gu Yi more ammo.

She thought Gu Yi was bluffing just to save face.

She aimed to make Gu Yi back down to save her own face.

"Sis, it’s hot, buying so much might spoil quickly. How about splitting one slab?"

Li Dongxiang waited for Gu Yi to refuse, ready to mock her.

"Alright, sir, please help us split a slab. Thanks."

"Sure."

The butcher was pleased, thinking the meat wouldn’t sell, now a big buyer came.

With skilled movements, he evenly divided the meat.

No wonder, cutting meat daily; each weighed exactly the same.

"Two pounds and six ounces, each cost two dollars and sixty cents."

The butcher wrapped the meat and handed it separately to Gu Yi and Li Dongxiang.

"Thanks, sir."

Gu Yi accepted the meat, handing over the money.

Li Dongxiang hesitated while staring at the meat, but didn’t move.

Everyone was curious what she would do, watching Li Dongxiang closely.

Feeling trapped, Li Dongxiang reluctantly paid, roughly accepting the meat.

"Sis, I have things to do, heading back first."

Trying to smile at Gu Yi, but couldn’t control her agitated face.

Before Gu Yi could respond, she walked away.

Gu Yi watched her stumbling steps, calling after her.

"Sis, shall we look around more?"

Li Dongxiang hurried away at Gu Yi’s words, hastening her pace.
