Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Sarcasm

Ding Qiuyue just smiled without speaking, cursing countless profanities in her heart.

Zhao Yingjun frowned without saying a word, holding the child and walking ahead.

"Wait! Why are you walking so fast?" Su Jinxiu followed him.

Once the figures were gone, Ding Qiuyue spat on the ground, "Pah! Nasty woman, bullying my daughter, let’s see how you end up!"

Su Miao took off her clothes at home and leaned against the quilt stack on the kang. Originally, she wanted to take a nap, but unexpectedly, she found a letter under the quilt and smiled when she glanced at it.

It was written by Zhao Yingjun, not bad. It said: I’ll arrange a good job for you.

Inside the envelope was the money Su Miao had returned to him.

Su Miao unapologetically took the money and then burned the letter, casually looking out the window. The weather was nice, and spring was coming. The various households in the village had quieted down.

Gu Junming and Sun Chan returned to the Gu Family, just in time for Gu Juntao to bring his partner here for the New Year.

Yan Kai came along, playing chess with Gu Zishan.

Yang Hongying was quite diligent, helping with picking vegetables over by the kitchen. The two men were in a good mood, but Wang Guihua’s face was waxy yellow, looking much more haggard, clearly just recovering from a serious illness. Her expression was also unpleasant, like someone owed her two hundred bucks.

In fact, she had been lying in bed all morning, unwilling to move, and it was Gu Zishan who forcibly got her up.

"No matter how it is, the second daughter-in-law is here for the holiday, and you, as the mother-in-law, lying there like this, is it right?"

Wang Guihua, angry, hit her husband with a pillow, "Leave me alone! I’ve already accepted this damn daughter-in-law, isn’t that enough? Do I have to put on a smiling face for her? Kowtow to her? Why should I?"

"Because you are the lady of the house, Dad can’t come back from the army, and today Yan Kai is here. What does it look like for you to be lying here! Come down immediately, or we’ll get a divorce!"

Wang Guihua was almost angered to death by her husband but had no choice. It’s not the right time to quarrel with him, especially concerning their son. What if he leaves home again!

"Hurry down! Don’t make me drag you down!" Gu Zishan snorted and left in a huff.

Though he was awkward at the beginning, after some time, he accepted it. It’s already like this, so can they really divorce?

Besides, Yan Kai is a good man. Marrying Yang Hongying means they have secured a good one. Also, he knows exactly what his second son is like. Being able to marry Yang Hongying is already impressive. She’s pretty and considerate, nothing to criticize.

Wang Guihua, frustrated, cried for a while but still tidied up and came downstairs.

Yang Hongying nervously looked upstairs, and when she saw her coming down, she shyly greeted her. She was very nervous, knowing her actions had really irked her mother-in-law. Yan Kai also hurried over.

Wang Guihua glanced at Yang Hongying and said, "You’re here?"

"Yes. Auntie... no, mom. I was wrong, I’m sorry."

Gu Juntao quickly presented a bag of things, "Mom, this is something your daughter-in-law brought for you."

"Hmm." Wang Guihua drooped her eyelids, not even glancing at the stuff, "I don’t have the strength to speak these days, you don’t need to treat me so well either, I’m just a dying old woman, don’t bother. If I die, you can live happily ever after."

"Enough!" Gu Zishan suppressed his anger, "Since you’ve accepted this matter, don’t spout nonsense! Isn’t it unlucky to say such things during the New Year!"

Wang Guihua stopped speaking and just sat on the sofa. After a while, she said some cold words, basically beating around the bush, making it very uncomfortable for everyone.

Finally, Gu Zishan couldn’t stand it, "Aren’t you cooking? Making everyone starve on New Year’s?" noveldrama

"Haven’t I already got a daughter-in-law? Why should I do the cooking?"

"I’ll do it then." Yang Hongying hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook. The aunt was picking vegetables while watching Yang Hongying, thinking to herself, who knows how the future will be, this girl is quite pitiful.

Not long after, Sun Chan and Gu Junming arrived, and they also brought some things, drinks and health products bought on the way. Wang Guihua was indifferent to the two, but because of her resentment towards Yang Hongying, she was especially warm towards Sun Chan and Gu Junming. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Coming all this way and still bringing things? We’re family, no need for this, right? Junming, you must treat Sun Chan well, it’s hard for her as a girl, seeing her makes my heart ache."

Gu Juntao frowned slightly but didn’t speak. Yan Kai smiled faintly, this woman really doesn’t like Yang Hongying, but luckily the two families don’t live together, or I wouldn’t be at ease. Only Gu Junming remained calmly silent, his expression tranquil.

Sun Chan felt particularly uncomfortable and said to Wang Guihua, then went to the kitchen to help.

Wang Guihua said, "No need for you! You’re the apple of Junming’s eye, sit down and chat with Auntie. This girl, the more I look, the better. Beautiful and simple. I just like you like this, much better than those unpresentable ones. By the way, how’s it going back to the village for New Year?"

"Pretty good."

"Did the widow from the east side of the village get married? That woman is not great, clinging to any good man she sees, so annoying. I heard it from Zishan. Didn’t he go there once?"

Sun Chan glanced at Gu Junming awkwardly.

Gu Junming said, "I haven’t heard about it, we only mind our own business, other people’s matters, we’re not interested."

In the kitchen, Yang Hongying’s eyes reddened, tears about to fall.

Gu Zishan was almost enraged, saying under his breath, "Enough, no one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak!"

"How can you say that! I’m just fostering relationships, aren’t you satisfied, what more do you want?" Wang Guihua gritted her teeth too.

Sun Chan had already stood up, "I’ll go help, Auntie, you sit first."

She went into the kitchen, seeing the nanny washing rice, with Yang Hongying wiping her eyes, she pretended not to see and helped to pick vegetables.

During this time, Yan Kai acted as if he knew nothing; he still hoped his sister could live a good life, so he didn’t help or speak up. Seeing Gu Juntao’s apologetic expression, he thought, at least you understand.

The two had met only once before, very unfamiliar, but now their identities had changed. They were going to become sisters-in-law, so despite the awkwardness, they still started chatting.

Hearing that Yang Hongying and Gu Juntao had already registered for marriage, Sun Chan was shocked. That was fast!

Yang Hongying felt quite bashful and said to Sun Chan, "We didn’t hold a wedding, isn’t it bad?"

"What’s bad about it?" Sun Chan skillfully picked green beans, "Gu Junming and I also agreed, we’ll just invite people to a meal, there’s no need for a big event."
