Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Sisterly Heart-to-Heart

Both of them had been outside for a while, and Sun Chan couldn’t help but ask Gu Junming, "Why did you arrange such a good job for her?"

Gu Junming replied, "It’s not good at all; it’s a clerk job in the poverty relief office, specializing in rural investigations. It seems like a good city job, but it’s actually rooted in rural neighborhoods year-round, facing those opportunistic troublemakers who aren’t easy to deal with — they’re willing to fight over just a dollar. Sun Lijuan should enjoy the fun of work."

Before coming, he had already decided to use resolving Sun Lijuan’s job situation as a condition to help Sun Chan out of her predicament, so he had already arranged her path ahead of time.

After listening to Gu Junming’s words, Sun Chan couldn’t help but laugh. Let’s see how much she enjoys being bullied when the time comes.

Gu Junming continued, "As for the dowry, don’t take it too seriously. Asking for dowry when marrying off a daughter is completely natural, and I can’t help you argue against that. Besides, three years from now, who knows what will happen? Don’t worry, I’m not very clever, but I’m never at a disadvantage, so you can be sure of that."

Sun Chan nodded, "I believe you."

Gu Junming said, "Don’t let these people affect your mood; thinking about your future is what’s most important. Also, don’t feel guilty. Since we’re seeing each other, I should help solve your problems; otherwise, what would you need me for?"

Sun Chan replied with a smile, "Okay."

Because Zhao Xiuxia had been causing drama, they finished these matters by evening and didn’t have time to go to Xiangyang Village, so they had to stay overnight temporarily.

But Sun Chan absolutely wouldn’t go to Zhao Xiuxia’s house, so she decided to stay at the village head’s place for a night.

However, halfway there, Liu Yunlan came up to them, smiling, "Sun Chan, my Dandan just got back! She heard you returned to the village, so why not come to our house? You too, comrade, okay? Wang Dan’s dad is working in the city and isn’t home, so it won’t be inconvenient."

Sun Chan was delighted, since she hadn’t seen Wang Dan in a long time.

Gu Junming declined; he had once been a suitor for Wang Dan, and since he and Sun Chan were only dating and not married, it wouldn’t be appropriate to stay together, so they parted ways.

He went to the village head’s place, while Sun Chan and Liu Yunlan went to Wang Dan’s.

Throughout the journey, Liu Yunlan was much more enthusiastic toward Sun Chan than she was in the village, because Sun Chan’s partner wasn’t an ordinary person, and building good relations had benefits. Sun Chan was well aware of this and wasn’t annoyed; it was just natural for one’s daughter’s sake, not to mention Wang Dan had helped her. Seeing Wang Dan being so clever, it seemed she inherited it from her mother.

Wang Dan was sitting in the yard stringing chili peppers, threading them into long strings to hang at the door to dry, ready for winter consumption. The ground was covered in red chilies, which looked quite nice. When she saw Sun Chan coming in, she quickly got up to greet her.

Sun Chan giggled as she held Wang Dan’s hand, and Wang Dan looked her up and down, "Sun Chan, you’ve become prettier!"

"You’re the one," Sun Chan laughed, as Wang Dan wore a red jacket, white trousers, and had her hair permed, with not a trace of a villager’s image.

The two of them strung peppers while chatting, and though Wang Dan had gotten married, her personality was as straightforward as before. She told Sun Chan that she and her husband were now doing some knitwear wholesale business.

"We just sell sweaters, pants, plus cotton hats, gloves, socks, and such; the business is quite good."

Sun Chan nodded with a smile, "I see you have the look of a small business owner."

"Of course," Wang Dan giggled, "Everything else is illusory; having money is what’s real."
