Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: The city is also quite depressing

Actually, she knows it doesn’t mean much. In the village, once engaged, spending the New Year’s at the man’s house is only natural. But she’s just jealous and wants to pick a fight with her.

"She’s just a wretched orphan! Why does everything go smoothly for her while I’m so unlucky!" She stomped her foot and went back into the house.

Gu Junming and Sun Chan went back together too. Both drank ginger tea, prepared by Wang Shufen. Father and Mrs. Wang, unable to stay awake, went to sleep with their grandson. Sun Chan was a bit groggy and leaned against Gu Junming, her eyes hardly open.

Wang Shufen said, "It’s about to be light; are you two going to sleep?"

Gu Junming said, "I’ll nap for a bit. I need to head out at dawn. Can you stoke the fire and let Sun Chan sleep here for a while?"

"Sigh, but what’s going on?" Wang Shufen asked, puzzled.

Gu Junming explained the situation, and Wang Shufen’s face turned pale instantly, shaking with anger, her voice changing.

"Ding Quan, that brute! Gambling and drinking is one thing, but now he’s done something like this, even stealing a child!"

"Yeah." Gu Junming said, "I’ll try to get the child back before the new year, hoping they haven’t sold them to the South, just local, or else it’s trouble. Regardless, Ding Quan must go to jail this time. Don’t sympathize with him; he’s reaping what he sowed."

"I won’t sympathize with him; it’s just hurting you, isn’t it? In this freezing weather, having to find someone..."

"It’s fine as long as the child is safe. So young, in this cold, any accident could be fatal."

Wang Shufen gritted her teeth: "I’m worried about Kangkang. If people know what his father did, what will become of him!"

"It won’t happen. Be careful. When we take Kangkang to the city, who will know his past? As long as he studies well, he can have a good future."

"I’m always causing trouble for you." Wang Shufen sighed. Though saying that, if the father becomes a prisoner, the child may not have a good future, at least not in the army.

Gu Junming offered a few comforting words, and by then Sun Chan’s head was already drooping onto his arm, sound asleep.

Seeing her like this, Gu Junming’s face showed a tender expression, gently laying her down on the bed.

Wang Shufen hurriedly got up to find a quilt: "You rest for a bit; I’ll take care of her."

Gu Junming nodded, looked at Sun Chan, and went outside.

He slept for an hour or two in his room when Su Minjian and Zhao Yingjun arrived. The three said little and went straight out. Before leaving, Wang Shufen handed them several baked cakes and sweet potatoes, warm and comforting, to eat on their journey.

By the time the elders of the Wang Family woke up, Gu Junming had been gone for a while, and Sun Chan was still sleeping.

Wang Shufen prepared breakfast and called the elders to eat, sharing the news behind her son’s back: "Mingzi went to find someone. Sun Chan helped last night and was exhausted, sleeping."

Father Wang, furious, coughed again: "Brute! I never thought he was good in the first place, and now he’s even worse, huh?"

Mrs. Wang said, "Mingzi is doing the right thing. No matter what, we can’t let the child suffer. Warm up food for Sun Chan later."
