Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Separation from Household Registration

She wanted to sort out her job situation first and foremost.

As for the debt issue, there’s still a bit left from mother’s side, but since they’re all family, it should be resolved easily. The opportunity is fleeting, and she must seize the moment to secure a job!

Zhao Xiuxia exclaimed anxiously, "I raised Sun Chan, why shouldn’t she support me in my old age? All the conditions must be met. The family’s debts, my pension, and Lijuan’s job..."

Gu Junming replied calmly, "I can agree to Sun Lijuan’s demands, but your demands are exorbitant. Let’s let the authorities decide."

Zhao Xiuxia was still unhappy, stalling for an hour and repeating the same arguments. Sun Chan and Sun Lijuan remained silent while Zhao Xiuxia howled, and Gu Junming kept stating, "Follow Sun Lijuan’s demands, or we’ll take it to court."

"Are you done yet? Who has the time to listen to your nonsense?" the village chief said, a bit annoyed.

From behind, Liu Yunlan frowned and said, "Zhao Xiuxia, that comrade is just a soldier, and from the countryside. He also has elderly parents and a sister to support; he can’t afford so much. Don’t go overboard!"

Wang Dan had also spoken to her about Sun Chan, and Liu Yunlan, having a favorable impression of Sun Chan, was a bit upset seeing Zhao Xiuxia acting so arrogantly.

Zhao Xiuxia was infuriated, "Mind your own business!"

The village chief stood up, "If you can’t decide, I’ll go back first and come back when you’ve figured it out."

Zhao Xiuxia hurriedly held him back, "You can’t leave, you need to stand up for me!"

The village chief rolled his eyes; demanding such a large sum for no reason, and being so bold about it—what nerve.

Sun Lijuan whispered a few words to her.

Zhao Xiuxia’s eyes lit up, then she said, "Okay! I agree with you all. But if you want to marry Sun Chan, shouldn’t there be a bride price? A thousand isn’t excessive, right?"

Sun Chan said, "Gu Junming is a soldier, not a businessman, how can he have that much money? There won’t be a bride price."

"That’s not okay! After raising you, you can’t even give a bride price? Does that make sense? Just give the bride price, and we’re done! Otherwise, I’ll never agree, even if it kills me! Look around, which village daughter’s marriage doesn’t come with a bride price!"

Gu Junming said, "I can give you the bride price."

Sun Chan frowned at Gu Junming, while Zhao Xiuxia quickly interjected, "That’s what you said, I didn’t force you!"

Gu Junming smirked, "Of course, I mean what I say, but a thousand’s not happening. I’ll give according to the village’s standard. Sun Chan, how much?"

Sun Chan frowned silently, and a woman nearby said, "It’s usually two hundred, three hundred if the family’s well-off."

Zhou Jinzhu was forced to give five hundred back then due to his poor circumstances, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to.

Gu Junming simply said, "Alright, I’ll give three hundred. But Sun Chan is only seventeen now, and it’s still three years until marriage. I’ll naturally provide the bride price then."

Zhao Xiuxia was about to protest, but Sun Lijuan stopped her, whispering, "By then, we’ll raise the price. If he doesn’t pay, we’ll create a scene at his workplace; he won’t dare not to pay!"

Zhao Xiuxia thought for a moment and agreed. By the time they marry in three years, the bride price will surely be higher, and they should seize the chance to demand a lot.
