Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Obvious Contrast

He shouted, "I also did a good deed despite my crimes. You can’t treat me like this! Gu Junming, I’m still your brother-in-law!"

Gu Junming sneered, "You’re no longer part of our family. Even if you’re my brother-in-law, I won’t let you go!"

"We’re from the same village. If you dare to steal our child, I’ll fight with you!" Su Minjian couldn’t care less about being the village chief now. He picked up a stone from the ground and was about to hit Ding Quan with it. But Gu Junming stopped him; if you hurt him, you still have to pay compensation.

Everyone felt frightened inside. If they were hurt by people from that village, it wouldn’t be good. Father Wang didn’t care; as someone who had been on the battlefield, he thought a little injury to his son was nothing.

Mrs. Wang said, "You should change your clothes. Check the wounds; there should be gauze at home, right? Find it, and I’ll help you change it."

"Mom, let Sun Chan do it." Wang Shufen smiled.

"Yeah, I’ll do it." Sun Chan said and blushed.

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded. She didn’t say anything else, as it was most fitting for her to do it.

Wang Shufen and the others were about to head back. Before leaving, she said, "Let’s not make fish tonight. Let’s make something light."

Gu Junming hurriedly smiled and said, "Don’t let me affect your festival, I can eat some meat. You eat what you want."

Ding Kang shouted a few more words at his uncle and then went out to play. He didn’t know what his father had done.

Mrs. Wang was making New Year’s Eve dinner with her daughter, and with her son back, her mood improved.

Sun Chan was helping Gu Junming change clothes and bandage the wounds, relieved to see that his injuries were just superficial.

"Try not to get water on these wounds for a few days. If you get a fever, take some medicine."

"I understand. I’ve already taken medicine." Gu Junming stared straight at Sun Chan.

She was not even a meter away from him, his gaze was too direct, making Sun Chan’s ears feel hot. Coupled with helping him bandage his wounds, seeing his exposed muscles, she felt inexplicably flustered. In her previous life, although she got married and had a marital life, she was always passive and fearful during those times.

She never felt this kind of panic before; her heart was pounding, and she didn’t dare to look up.

"Why are you staring at me?" She nudged Gu Junming.

Gu Junming simply smiled, saying nothing. After finishing the bandaging, he grabbed Sun Chan’s hand and kissed the back of her hand: "Thank you, my wife, you’re so good to me."

Sun Chan’s face reddened, and she pulled her hand back, "We’re not married yet, why call me your wife."

"It’s only a matter of time." He lightly embraced her into his arms.

"It’s New Year’s Eve today, haven’t you called the city?" Sun Chan changed the subject.

"No, I haven’t had the time. Only the village committee has a phone; I’ll call tomorrow instead. I need to rest; I haven’t slept well for two days." He was very tired, kissed her forehead, and collapsed onto the kang bed.

Sun Chan helped cover him with the quilt, watching him fall asleep, and then went out to help cook the meal.

Mrs. Wang stewed an old hen with potatoes, a dish that was both tasty and sweet. She also made spare ribs, fried balls, dumplings, and some northeastern home-style dishes; the dinner was very sumptuous.

But Gu Junming kept sleeping, so they didn’t wake him. Setting aside a portion for him, everyone ate together.

Mrs. Wang kept serving food to Sun Chan, making her feel embarrassed.
