Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: That’s How I Hate You

Sun Lijuan was full of hatred in her heart, thinking, I don’t believe it, can you really get married? There are still two years left!

But right now, they weren’t a match. The old man was cursing and throwing everything in this direction—broken bricks, tiles, even icicles. If any of that hit someone, it would be painfully lethal, so Zhao Xiuxia and Sun Lijuan hurried away.

Upon seeing them leave, Su Minjian didn’t go after them; after all, this was a family matter and not something he could involve himself in.

On the way back, Zhao Xiuxia was cursing incessantly. She had been struggling a lot just now, her whole body aching, and another plan to get money had failed again.

"What should we do now! We didn’t get a cent!"

Sun Lijuan gritted her teeth: "It’s all right. I have just one year left until graduation. No matter what, Gu Junming said he would help arrange a job. Anyway, I’ll make it through this year, and once I have a job, everything will be different. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll borrow some money. All of this should be accounted on their heads."

"Fine!" Zhao Xiuxia was also full of hate: "Let that little slut enjoy herself for another year!"

When they got home, it didn’t seem like much at first, but by the evening something was wrong. Zhao Xiuxia felt intense pain in her back and stomach. She lifted her clothes to check and saw a bruise under her ribcage. Cursing once more, during those days there was no ultrasound to check such things, so she could only endure. She thought she might see a herbalist for some medicine.

Who knew that the next morning she felt something below, and upon going to the toilet, found out her period had come. At her age, she was nearly menopausal, but it wasn’t impossible, coming only occasionally every few months, so she didn’t think much and just used some paper. Who would have thought this time it would last a whole month and a half, continuously.

But during that time Sun Lijuan was at school, and no one at home knew, and Zhao Xiuxia didn’t take much care of it, haphazardly using herbal remedies. But nothing could stop the bleeding, and it continued for two months before it finally eased. By then, she felt no pain and had long forgotten about it, not knowing that it had left behind a root for a future ailment.

Zhao Xiuxia didn’t pay much attention, just assuming it was menopause, but whenever she thought of it, she would scold Sun Chan once again.

"That damned girl, if it weren’t for you, how could I have so much bad luck? Once I’ve arranged Sun Lijuan’s job, I’ll settle the score with you principal and interest!" Of course, this was later talk.

Let us rewind to the day they were driven away, in the city, Sun Chan was talking on the phone with Gu Junming, and learned about what they said about her back in the village. She sighed and fell silent for a long time.

Gu Junming patted her shoulder: "What are you thinking? Don’t worry, my parents won’t think much of it, they know who you are."

"I’m thinking, just how much they hate me, wishing I was dumped by you, scorned by everyone, and they even want to sell me off into the mountains. When I was young at that household, I did every type of chore without a day of rest, never ate my fill, yet I never did them any harm, so what makes them hate me so much?" Sun Chan furrowed her brows, her face full of sadness.

Gu Junming consoled: "I don’t think they hate you, but perhaps they’re jealous of how well you’re living. Such people, living poorly themselves, can’t stand seeing you do well, and would rather pull you down. Only when they see you suffering, can they be happy."

She nodded: "That could be it. Let’s not talk about it anymore, I need to sort out the fruits."

Together, they sorted out the fruits from the box, the large and good-looking ones were placed on the front table, while the less appealing ones were placed behind. The good ones were priced at one and a half per jin, whereas the less appealing ones were five yuan for three jin. If they were worse, they would take them home to make preserves.

Initially, Gu Junming didn’t quite understand, but after doing business for a few days with Sun Chan, he learned more about it.

Business was doing well, but seeing Sun Chan working over ten hours a day and sometimes helping Guihua with hotel matters, made Gu Junming feel a bit distressed for her.
