Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path-Chapter 871 - 671: Giving Up

Since Wang Meili was caught in the act of adultery in public, she has been taken to the military by Gu Haojun.

Initially, because she had angered Old Mrs. Gu to death, Wang Meili restrained herself a bit. Although she still looked down on Liu Juanhao in various ways, at least she didn’t show it obviously in front of Gu Haojun.

But Liu Juanhao is quite clever, Wang Meili didn’t manage to gain any advantage over her.

Wang Meili acts out, while Liu Juanhao simply watches her performance, even cooperating quite well.

Over time, Wang Meili herself started to lose patience.

She tried several times to create misunderstandings, hoping to make Gu Haojun suspicious of Liu Juanhao, but unfortunately, her son seemed to trust Liu Juanhao implicitly and didn’t believe any of it.

Whatever Liu Juanhao said, that was the truth.

After several attempts, Wang Meili was nearly driven to spit blood from anger.

Through multiple encounters, Wang Meili came to realize that her son was the standard case of marrying a wife and forgetting his mother. No matter what she did, in Gu Haojun’s eyes, it was never as good as what his wife did.

Actually, Liu Juanhao as a daughter-in-law took great care of Wang Meili; in all aspects, she was very attentive. In the military compound, everyone who mentioned Liu Juanhao gave a thumbs up and praised her.

It’s just Wang Meili’s own petty heart that felt Liu Juanhao was being insincere in everything she did.

However, after suffering several losses, she learned her lesson and no longer clashed directly with Liu Juanhao. After all, when she got old, she would still rely on her son and daughter-in-law for support.

As for Gu Juan, she has given up hope since she hasn’t been found.

Sigh...

Looking at Liu Juanhao’s belly made Wang Meili increasingly displeased. Many people whispered to her privately that it was likely another daughter, and daughters were seen as loss-makers. Just like Gu Juan, no one knows where she ended up.

But her overly straightforward son kept saying that having two daughters was better.

It made her chest ache with anger.

When she’s alone, Wang Meili often thinks that everything would have been better if she hadn’t gone to work at the transformer factory back then. She could have stayed in the village, and even though she didn’t have a real marriage with Gu Chunhai, life would have been comfortable.

Unlike now.

"Oh, is that Wang Meili?" At this moment, someone in front greeted her with a smile, "When did you come back?"

"Just came back." Wang Meili responded with a faint smile.

This person was her former colleague at the transformer factory, known for having a big mouth and loving to talk about others’ affairs. And Wang Meili had heard a lot of gossip from her.

"Is this Haojun’s wife?" The person took a glance at Liu Juanhao with a smile, "She looks quite fortunate."

But it’s rather frustrating to have such an embarrassing mother-in-law.

She added silently to herself.

"Yes, we need to take the child to see the doctor, so we won’t chat." Not wanting to speak further, Wang Meili, holding the child, left.

Even though that incident happened a long time ago, too many people knew about it. Now when she goes out, her biggest fear is running into acquaintances.

If possible, Wang Meili would prefer not to come back at all.

After all, over there, no one knew about her past. Conversations were firstly about temperament, and secondly about the military rank of relatives.

Gu Haojun was quite young and promising over in that area, drawing significant attention from the leadership.

Coincidentally, there happened to be a suitable position for him here, so he was recommended back.

And quite coincidentally, it was in Qin City, right in the same military unit as Yang Yunhai and the others.
