Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Very Tired, Right?

Sun Chan wrote down every penny she earned in the account book. Han Dong trusted her completely, and whatever amount was reported was the exact sum.

She watched over the stall every day and had no time to eat properly, buying just a couple of cakes, three for a yuan, sometimes with a bit of pickled vegetable. She was terribly exhausted, and by the last day, she was really struggling to stay alert. All she wanted was to pack up and leave early.

Just then, someone came up to buy underwear, being quite generous without haggling, they took one piece for fifteen yuan, handing over fifty. Sun Chan was so tired, she didn’t even look and was about to give change.

At that moment, a hand reached from behind and grabbed the money, handing it back to the person: "This money won’t do, please change it, mate."

Sun Chan was curious and turned around to see it was Gu Junming, a wave of joy washing over her: "You’re here?"

"Yes, came to check on you," Gu Junming looked at Sun Chan, noticeably thinner with a sharper chin, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Only then did Sun Chan remember: "Oh, what’s wrong with this money?"

Gu Junming pointed to the mercury part of the bill and whispered: "Counterfeit."

Sun Chan was startled, she hadn’t noticed earlier and was shocked that it was fake!

The person with the counterfeit money initially intended to get outraged, trying to scare Sun Chan into giving them change.

Yet seeing that Gu Junming looked like a soldier, tall and imposing, they knew better than to make a fuss. They huffed, tossed the clothes aside: "This money is obviously real, but I won’t buy! Fine, won’t argue with you lot!" They strode off briskly.

Gu Junming sneered: "Such obvious fake money, and still trying to scam? Think we don’t recognize currency?"

Sun Chan didn’t bother with it further, stowing the clothes away: "Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I’d have lost fifty yuan."

"You’re thanking me?" Gu Junming found it amusing.

Sun Chan felt somewhat embarrassed.

Gu Junming ruffled her thinning hair: "It’s alright, just be more careful next time. How’s business?"

"Okay, not bad!" Sun Chan nodded with a smile.

Seeing her dark circles, Gu Junming pinched her cheek with concern: "Look at you, just been a few days and you’ve gotten this thin. Try to rest and slack off when you get the chance!"

"Han Dong isn’t here, how can I rest? These clothes need to be sold quickly." Once Wang Dan’s pregnancy stabilizes, she needs to return the stall. While chatting with Gu Junming, she kept smiling as she neatly packed away the clothes, laying each piece flat in the box.

Gu Junming said: "My sister is coming over, she’ll help you watch the stall. You can leave it to her for a while, we have to go back."

Seeing the serious look on Gu Junming’s face, Sun Chan knew something was up, she asked: "What happened? Is there a problem?"

"Wang Guihua is not in good health, we need to go take care of her."

Though Sun Chan hadn’t married Gu Junming yet, she was already considered the daughter-in-law. Now Gu Juntao’s wife had a threatened miscarriage and needed to rest quietly. Although there was a maid, it didn’t look good that neither daughter-in-law went.

Gu Junming said: "You don’t have to strain yourself, just go through the motions, take a casual look. I’m just worried about gossip, but honestly, I don’t want you to handle Wang Guihua. She’s bringing it on herself."

"What exactly happened?"

"It’s because of my brother," Gu Junming explained the situation.
