"No, it’s not necessary, I’m in a hurry to get home and cook." Bai Fanglan found it very awkward and uncomfortable to talk to Sun Chan, and she didn’t want her to see her in such a sorry state.
Sun Chan thought for a moment and said, "I don’t have an umbrella here, but if you’re in a hurry to leave, I have a plastic sheet you can use to keep from getting a cold."
Bai Fanglan looked outside and thought that at this hour, all the shops must be closed, so buying an umbrella was impossible. Her hair was freshly done, so she said, "Well, that’s very kind of you."
"No need to be polite." Sun Chan found a large plastic sheet and handed it to Bai Fanglan.
It was about the size of half a table, perfect for covering her head while she went out to hail a cab.
Bai Fanglan smiled and said, "How much is this going to cost..."
"It’s just a plastic sheet. No charge, you go on. It seems the rain has let up a bit."
"Alright, I’ll come back to thank you another day, I’m off now." Bai Fanglan exchanged a few more pleasantries with Sun Chan and hurried away with the plastic bag over her head.
Sun Chan watched her back and thought quite a bit. Where did she get so much money? Do doctors really make that much? Battalion Commander Zhao’s family cries poor every day, supposedly he sends every penny he can back to the countryside, yet Bai Fanglan seems to be doing quite well?
Could it be that those two had a fight? That must be the reason.
Sun Chan thought that if it were her, she would start a fight too. Why should all the benefits go to your family? Do I have to live off scraps too? Besides, their hometown is not that poor.
But if she knew he was a pit before getting married, why jump into it?
Battalion Commander Zhao’s mindset is already formed; he can’t change it now.
As she was lost in thought, she saw a car drive up—it was a military vehicle. At first, she thought it was Gu Junming and was a bit pleased, but it was her father who got out, followed by her mother. They each carried an umbrella and she felt a little disappointed but quickly became happy and went to the door smiling to greet them.
Seeing Sun Chan, they were quite happy too. Recently, Sun Chan and Gu Junming had just gotten married and were busy with work, so they hadn’t seen each other much.
Sun Chan invited them in to look around her shop: "I’ll be stocking clothes tomorrow."
"When’s the opening?" Yang Dongfeng smiled and said, "We’ll definitely be there."
Sun Chan smiled and replied, "This Saturday. Trying to take advantage of the summer holiday to sell more."
Yang Dongfeng nodded with a smile, "Alright, we’ll be there."
"Come on in, the place is nicely renovated. Han Dong specifically hired workers from the South."
"We’d better not," Zhao Jieyun quickly smiled and said, "Look, our shoes are all muddy, we’ll mess up your floor. Let’s head straight home."
Only then did Sun Chan notice the trail of muddy footprints on the floor left from Bai Fanglan’s visit. She was about to grab a cloth to wipe it down.
