Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Picking a Fight Sun Chan said with a smile, "Aren't I young now? I can do whatever I want. Once I get married, Gu Junming won't letfool around anymore. Better enjoy it while I'm not married." "That's true." Wang Dan agreed, "I can't do anything now. It's so frustrating." "You're already lucky. Don't be ungrateful for the blessings you have." Wang Dan's partner cover and kissed her hair, "Sorry, my dear. Let's go eat." "Got it." Wang Dan picked up speanuts with a smile, snacking like a little squirrel as she walked. Wang Dan's family, along with Sun Chan and Han Dong, had a meal together, and it was very harmonious.

Han Dong and Wang Dan's partner were both charismatic and knew how to liven up the atmosphere, while Wang Dan cheerfully stayed close to her mother-in-law, joking and acting sweet, and her mother-in-law was very fond of her.

Watching their interaction, Sun Chan felt inspired. While eating, she thought, who would like a daughter-in-law who's always down? I should also stay optimistic. With laughter and chatter, even if there are sdisputes, things won't be too unpleasant as long as the surface is handled well.

They wanted Sun Chan to stay, but she refused, saying she had to look after her own stall tomorrow. Han Dong was leaving, so she stayed at the inn. After taking care of Sun Chan, Han Dong left.

Before leaving, they discussed the next day's clothing prices, "You can't set the price too low. You know these folks love bargains; even if you give them the lowest price, they'll still want you to lower it. So start high and gradually lower it." "Yeah, but I feel like my prices are high enough. I'm selling underwear that costsa few bucks for over ten." Han Dong laughed, "You! You'll never make it as a businessperson. Who worries about the buyer when selling things? Don't worry; they have a price in mind that they're willing to bear. If it's too expensive, they won't buy it. If they can buy it, they can afford it. Wanting to look good comes with a price." Sun Chan nodded; that made sense.

"Right, you should find someone. If you also need to go back, we can't always be at the stall. Someone needs to look after it." Sun Chan thought for a moment, "How about Wang Shufen?" "Your big sister?" Han Dong hadn't met Wang Shufen, but he'd heard about her from Gu Junming. She was divorced and had been living in the village with her son.

"Yeah! She's very reliable, and she wants her son to go to school in the city." "That works, talk it over with your older brother. I have to go." Sun Chan walked him out, "Be careful, it's dark at night. Don't get robbed." Han Dong chuckled, turned around, and left. The street outside was cool, the air fragrant with flowers. Walking down the street, Han Dong was in a great mood, though he refused to ponder why he was so happy.

Sun Chan saw him off, washed up, and lay in bed thinking about her mother-in-law, frowning slightly. Would Wang Guihua like her? Probably not, right? Thankfully, she's not her biological mother, and Gu Junming doesn't let her suck up to her, which is alright. But there might be trouble during the wedding. With these thoughts, she turned over and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Wang Guihua, who Sun Chan was worried about, was throwing tantrums at hevery day. Her husband had been stationed at the army for a long tand hadn't cback. Her father-in-law was staying with Mr. Yan, and her son and daughter-in-law hadn't cback since the last time. Being alone in the house, she felt an unprecedented sense of sadness and resentment. She was so angry she gritted her teeth, blaming Yang Hongying for taking her son away.

"Fox spirit! A widow still so good at bewitching people? My carefully raised good son, why should you have a claim over him? You're all avoiding me. I'll cfind you tomorrow! Let's see if you can throwout?" Yang Guihua stood up abruptly with that thought, deciding that's what she'd do. With her mind made up, she went to sleep.

Though she loathed Yang Hongying, Gu Juntao was still her son whom she'd loved for years; she couldn't help but care. So on the way, she bought sribs, fish, and chicken, packed them in a big bag before heading over.

It happened to be the weekend the next day, and Gu Juntao was off work, having dinner at hwith his wife: two bowls of rice, a small dish of chili sauce, a bowl of radish strips, and an omelet with tomatoes.

Gu Juntao savored the chili sauce, smiling, "Delicious! Who made this? Did you buy it?" "Sun Chan gave it to us! She also gave us several types of pickles, all very tasty." "Really? Should we try making sourselves next time?" Yang Hongying blushed slightly, "I've never made it. We don't have pickle jars here, but I'll learn from her. Can we use glass jars?" "Never mind. Let's just get it from my sister-in-law. We don't eat much anyway. Hurry up, eat, and afterwards, I want to talk to you." He gave Yang Hongying a glance, blinking his eyes playfully.

Yang Hongying's face turned red. What's up with him lately? He never seems to tire.

Their atmosphere was just right, when someone knocked at the door. Gu Juntao went to open it and saw his mother. He secretly thought this was bad, wondering if she cto settle scores.

Not wanting to make things awkward, he smiled and called out, "Mom, you're here!" Then he quickly turned back, "Hong Ying, my mom's here!" "Humph! What kind of daughter-in-law lets the husband open the door while she eats so comfortably when there are guests?" "I was closer to the door, so I opened it. Mom, have you eaten? Chave smore." Gu Juntao said with a smile.

Wang Guihua walked in with a sullen look, seeing how simple their meal was and feeling even more displeased. When had her son been eating so plainly? There were even pickles!

"Yang Hongying, it's understandable that my son is busy with work and doesn't have tfor lavish meals. But how ceven on a day off, you still cook so simply? Juntao is the main pillar of the family. How can you be so irresponsible? Is our family so poor there's no meat left?"

Yang Hongying bit her lip and said nothing. She had been trying to please her mother-in-law, but after O stime, realized nothing she did could win her favor, so she just gave up, not wanting to say another word. Gu Juntao said, "It's just breakfast, who eats meat in the morning? I couldn't stomach it either. We're making dumplings for lunch."

"Dumplings? Can Yang Hongying roll out the dough? Can she knead it? Isn't it all you? Before you got married, you were raised gentlym Marriage is for someone to take care of you; but look at this, now you're taking care of her!" Wang Guihua looked around, "Just look at those curtains, they're dirty. Aren't you going to take them down to wash? And the leather shoes need polishing.

Tsk! You two are a mess. What are you thinking?"
