Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - 5 Retribution in This Life

"Hey sis, you're back! Haven't seen you for days, and you're looking even more radiant!"

Sun Chan didn't speak. Her previous life was so miserable. Besides the relentless torment from Zhou Jinzhu, her sister didn't spare her either, using the money from selling her to enjoy her own good life and constantly speaking ill of her to Zhou Jinzhu, ensuring he would beat Sun Chan every day, fearing that she might live well.

As for why, Sun Lijuan had personally said, "I excel in everything over you, except I don't look as good as you. Now you're ugly and old, I can be at ease. A wild child looking so good? There's just no justice!"

After being reborn, Sun Chan naturally had nothing to say to this vicious-hearted sister and directly walked past her.

But Sun Lijuan stopped her: "Why aren't you speaking? Dissatisfied with the marriage? You haven't even asked around, do you know how great the Zhou family's conditions are? They've been hunters for generations and used to be the richest family in several neighboring villages. So many girls want to get married but can't!" Her mouth curved up, eyes full of excitement. It's five hundred yuan! Even this wretched girl can be sold for so much.

Sun Chan nodded, "If they're so great, why don't you keep them for yourself?"

Su Lijuan was stunned, then laughed: "Look at what you're saying, aren't I pursuing an education? Could it be you're still thinking of Ding Hu? Give up, he's about to get married, we're genuinely looking out for you."

"Yes, your immense grace and virtue towards me, I'll remember them for life." With that, she returned to her room. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Sun Lijuan frowned, thinking to herself, why is this sister so different from before?

At dinner, Sun Chan didn't come out to eat, claiming she felt unwell, much to Zhao Xiuxia's delight. She fried eggs, stewed meat, and steamed a pot of white rice, the best meal, not something she'd waste on the worthless girl.

The two were eating when Sun Lijuan suddenly told her mother, "I still think that wretched girl is acting strange. She only recently broke up with her boyfriend, how can she readily agree to marry Zhou Jinzhu? She's definitely hiding something."

"What's the difference if she agrees or not? As long as she's engaged, she's part of the Zhou family, we don't need to manage her, Zhou family will take care of her themselves. If she dares not comply, Zhou Jinzhu will beat her to death!"

Zhao Xiuxia dismissed it, eating a bite of egg, thinking it was worthwhile to bring back this worthless girl, five hundred yuan enough for them to live luxuriously.

A young, radiant girl basically given for free to a widower; during festivals, wouldn't Zhou Jinzhu honor this mother-in-law?

Sun Lijuan looked outside, then said, "Mom, how about you call Zhou Jinzhu over tonight, make it a done deal, then Sun Chan won't be able to rebel once she's tainted."

"What are you doing?" Zhao Xiuxia lightly hit her daughter's shoulder, whispered, "If this gets known, it won't be good for your reputation. After all, her registration is still at home."

"Don't worry, she won't dare tell anyone, Zhou Jinzhu will profit naturally and won't spread the word. You just wait to collect the money. I always felt something was off with this wretched girl. If she escapes, we'll be left with nothing."

"Alright, after dinner, I'll go find Zhou Jinzhu." Zhao Xiuxia agreed.

"Then you hurry, I'll keep that wretched girl steady over here."

They didn't know that Sun Chan was standing at the door, listening carefully to their conversation. Hearing Sun Lijuan's scheme, she clenched her teeth in hatred, fists tightly balled up.

Being your workhorse all these years, and you're still vicious to me! Determined to drain all my blood dry!

She slowly retreated, returning to her room.
