Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 1091: Pitiful People (6)

Gu Lingling was unaware of the happenings in Sea City.

After the car stopped in the small town, Yang Yunhai first took her to freshen up before leading her to have breakfast.

This small town is not on the route from Capital City to Qin City; it is a bit far from both Qin City and Capital City. But to bring her here for this particular breakfast, Yang Yunhai made a special detour.

The breakfast stall was doing good business.

"The oil tea dough sticks here are quite famous," Yang Yunhai said.

Gu Lingling could tell, as those sitting in front of the stall were regulars, familiar with the owner, and seemingly acquainted amongst themselves as well.

"Boss, two bowls of oil tea dough sticks, using our bowls," Yang Yunhai handed over an aluminum lunch box to the owner and then wiped clean a stool for her to sit down.

People with mysophobia are like this, always carrying lunch boxes and ready with disinfectant.

It’s a spray-type disinfectant.

Not yet available in the country.

Once Yang Yunhai saw Su Zhan using it, liked it, and got some over.

Two people with a cleanliness obsession naturally have common topics.

Once the oil tea dough sticks were served, a rich aroma wafted over. Gu Lingling took a bite, "It’s really delicious."

The flavor was rich and authentic.

The corners of Yang Yunhai’s mouth curved slightly, "It’s good that you like it."

Watching her enjoy, he felt there was nothing more joyful in the world than this.

"Old Qian, bring me another bowl," someone next to them called out.

Gu Lingling squinted with a smile.

Feeling the local community savoring the food together.

Yang Yunhai carefully wiped away a dab of oil tea from the corner of her mouth.

"Ah... Ah... Ah..."

Just then, a sudden series of ’ah ah ah’ noises came from the alley, and Gu Lingling turned to look curiously, although she couldn’t see anything, she could hear the commotion.

"Hey, is that Guo Chundan taking advantage of Wang Shuqin’s absence to hit her again?" someone nearby whispered.

"Isn’t that right," another shook their head, "that damned man, hitting an old and senile lady like that, karma will catch up with him."

"The heavens aren’t paying attention, someone like Guo Chundan, why don’t they just take him away early,"

"Shh... say nothing more, if he hears, none of us will have a good day," another person who seemingly knew them hurriedly advised.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Another round of cries, seemingly sharper than before.

For reasons unknown, Gu Lingling felt uneasy hearing these sounds.

She furrowed her brows and forced herself to drink a few more sips of oil tea.

But the pleasant mood of the morning vanished entirely.

"Isn’t anyone going to intervene? This could lead to a tragedy," Gu Lingling murmured softly, "And can’t whatever be said properly? Why resort to violence?"

"Shh... young lady, you’re an outsider and don’t know anything, better not say anything to avoid trouble," the old man sharing the table quickly advised, "finish your meal quickly and leave, just pretend you didn’t see anything."

But clearly, she’d witnessed it.

"If this lazy bum entangles you, you won’t be able to leave," the old man said.

He’s that formidable?

Why are people here so scared of him?

"Sigh... they’re all pitiful people," the old man shook his head and said quietly.
