Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Very Tired, Right? Sun Chan wrote down every penny she earned in the account book. Han Dong trusted her completely, and whatever amount was reported was the exact sum.

She watched over the stall every day and had no tto eat properly, buying just a couple of cakes, three for a yuan, sometimes with a bit of pickled vegetable. She was terribly exhausted, and by the last day, she was really struggling to stay alert. All she wanted was to pack up and leave early.

Just then, someone cup to buy underwear, being quite generous without haggling, they took one piece for fifteen yuan, handing over fifty. Sun Chan was so tired, she didn't even look and was about to give change.

At that moment, a hand reached from behind and grabbed the money, handing it back to the person: "This money won't do, please change it, mate." Sun Chan was curious and turned around to see it was Gu Junming, a wave of joy washing over her: "You're here?" "Yes, cto check on you," Gu Junming looked at Sun Chan, noticeably thinner with a sharper chin, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Only then did Sun Chan remember: "Oh, what's wrong with this money?" Gu Junming pointed to the mercury part of the bill and whispered: "Counterfeit." Sun Chan was startled, she hadn't noticed earlier and was shocked that it was fake! The person with the counterfeit money initially intended to get outraged, trying to scare Sun Chan into giving them change.

Yet seeing that Gu Junming looked like a soldier, tall and imposing, they knew better than to make a fuss. They huffed, tossed the clothes aside: "This money is obviously real, but I won't buy! Fine, won't argue with you lot!" They strode off briskly.

Gu Junming sneered: "Such obvious fake money, and still trying to scam? Think we don't recognize currency?" Sun Chan didn't bother with it further, stowing the clothes away: "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I'd have lost fifty yuan." "You're thanking me?" Gu Junming found it amusing.

Sun Chan felt somewhat embarrassed.

Gu Junming ruffled her thinning hair: "It's alright, just be more careful next time. How's business?" "Okay, not bad!" Sun Chan nodded with a smile.

Seeing her dark circles, Gu Junming pinched her cheek with concern: "Look at you, just been a few days and you've gotten this thin. Try to rest and slack off when you get the chance!" "Han Dong isn't here, how can I rest? These clothes need to be sold quickly." Once Wang Dan's pregnancy stabilizes, she needs to return the stall. While chatting with Gu Junming, she kept smiling as she neatly packed away the clothes, laying each piece flat in the box.

Gu Junming said: "My sister is coming over, she'll help you watch the stall. You can leave it to her for a while, we have to go back." Seeing the serious look on Gu Junming's face, Sun Chan knew something was up, she asked: "What happened? Is there a problem?" "Wang Guihua is not in good health, we need to go take care of her." Though Sun Chan hadn't married Gu Junming yet, she was already considered the daughter-in-law. Now Gu Juntao's wife had a threatened miscarriage and needed to rest quietly. Although there was a maid, it didn't look good that neither daughter-in-law went.

Gu Junming said: "You don't have to strain yourself, just go through the motions, take a casual look. I'm just worried about gossip, but honestly, I don't want you to handle Wang Guihua. She's bringing it on herself." "What exactly happened?" "It's because of my brother," Gu Junming explained the situation.

Sun Chan frowned slightly, thinking Wang Guihua had really gotten tired of living well, why insist on meddling in their affairs? People are married and living their lives, what does it have to do with you? Why do you keep interfering, trying to make Yang Hongying and him divorce? Even if they did divorce, it wouldn't benefit you in any way.

"You shouldn't get involved in this. Wang Guihua isn't my birth mother. Besides, this person... is very stubborn. Won't listen to advice." Gu Junming had no fondness for this woman, if it weren't for her, his own mother wouldn't have died so early, so he remained lukewarm, only because of his father's earnest request, and Yang Hongying's need to protect the fetus, he was determined not to let Sun Chan go.

"I get it," thought Sun Chan, she doesn't really approve of me. I won't concern myself, just go for a couple of days.

Gu Junming said: "Alright, let's rest, you look worn out. My sister will be here tomorrow." "Yeah, let's go back," Sun Chan nodded with a smile.

They tidied up a bit, covering the stall with a piece of white cloth, signaling they were closed. Together they walked out of the mall, Sun Chan yawned: "Shall we go back and rest?" "Let's eat first. I can tell you haven't eaten well. Cwith me, I'll get you something nice." "Wontons?" She smiled playfully: "Been ages since I had them." "Let's go." Gu Juntao took her hand. Sun Chan was slightly shy, but Gu Junming never let go, just walked together with him. They went to a decently sized restaurant.

"Not here, it's too expensive," Sun Chan tugged at Gu Junming.

Gu Junming chuckled: "It's alright, I just got my stipend, treating you to a good meal."

He led Sun Chan inside, ordered two bowls of wonton, and a few dishes from the e menu. A mix of meat and vegetables, lastly ordering braised pork and two bowls of rice. Sun Chan laughed: "You're trying to fattenup because I'm so thin?" "Yeah, seeing you so thin is painful, don't worry about money, it can be earned again, you must eat well." "I wasn't worried about the money! Just lazy to go out and buy food," Sun Chan smiled.

"What are you talking about? Eating is the most important thing. What if you're too tired?" He ruffled Sun Chan's hair.

Sun Chan awkwardly laughed, it had been exhausting these days, selling clothes during the day and reading at night. There were hardly any hours left for rest. Once the waiter left, Gu Junming momentarily didn't know what to say, just kept holding her hand with a smile.

Sun Chan smiled back, feeling really happy to be with him.

The food was served, and Sun Chan noticed the portions were especially large, the table seemed overflowing with dishes, really quite extravagant.

Embarrassed, she said: "That's too much, we can't finish it." "Whatever leftovers, we'll take home." Gu Junming picked up a piece of garlic ribs: "Try this, letknow if more is needed." "No more, too greasy," Sun Chan hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't buy anymore." Gu Junming then served her a piece of cold cabbage salad.

Sun Chan pursed her lips with a smile and began to eat. They were both hungry, but after barely finishing half the dishes, Gu Junming asked for plastic bags to pack the rest for dinner. Sun Chan and Gu Junming returned to the hotel together, and on the way, she asked about Wang Shufen's situation.
