Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 417: Chapter 443: Borrowing Money

Sun Chan said, "Where there are people, there's gossip. My elder sister knows I'm not good at arguing. I'm too

lazy to bother with those unpleasant words they say; | just pretend | didn’t hear them."

"Yeah, even if they get the upper hand verbally, what, can they earn more money? These people, they just can’t

stand seeing someone else doing better! Once they see you have money, living well, they start picking apart

things."

"Exactly, that’s typical of small-minded people. Especially that Sister-in-law Wang, so irritating, always nosing

around. | think she’s just eager to find something scandalous to spread around." Sun Chan remarked.

When Gu Junming finished his shower, he overheard her talking like this and couldn't help but smile. Marriage

changes things; now everyone loves to chat about these everyday family matters.

They ate dinner late, and after a full day of activity, Sun Chan was exhausted. She washed up and went directly

to bed. Gu Junming had wanted to talk to his wife for a bit, but there was no time, so he just hugged her, patted

her back, and went to sleep along with her.

Early the next morning, Wang Shufen took the earliest bus back home. She was hurrying to sell fruit; arriving late

would disrupt a lot of things.

When Sun Chan woke up, the room was quiet; she checked her watch—it was already past eight. She exclaimed

and quickly jumped out of bed; it's so late! Has Gu Junming left?

As soon as she reached the kitchen, she saw a note on the small table. It was left by Gu Junming; I'm heading to

the military unit. | made snoodles; just heat them to eat. Wait forto cback tonight.

Sun Chan smiled. Sure enough, she found noodles in the pot, just plain boiled noodles with a spoonful of

homemade meat sauce on top, still warm. She took it out, ready to eat.

Sun Chan was thinking about finishing sdrawings, hoping to send them over to Han Dong soon.

Then someone knocked on the door. Sun Chan called out, "Who is it?"

"Sis, it's me!"

Sun Chan slightly frowned. This voice sounded like Zhuang Lin, who had cover for dinner last night. She’s

from the suburbs, her husband is an officer, they live on the top floor. Last night, she jabbed at Sun Chan a few

times, saying that every family counts pennies to live, but only Sun Chan dared to spend. Buying so many things

to treat everyone, it was enough to cover their monthly living expenses. Doesn't know how to save.

Sun Chan was very upset at the time; here | am warmly entertaining you, and you still speak so bitterly.

Why is this woman coming over so early in the morning?

Sun Chan went to open the door; Zhuang Lin walked right in boldly. She's in her thirties, wearing a white blouse

and black skirt, a bit stocky, talking loudly. They rank by the men’s age, so although she’s younger, Zhuang Lin

still calls Sun Chan "sis."

Sun Chan said, "Do you need something?"

"Why do you say that? Can't | cover if there's nothing? Sis, haven't you eaten?" She craned her neck to

look, "Noodles, huh? Real simple meal."

Sun Chan smiled, "I got up late, just having a quick bite."

Zhuang Lin laughed, "Tired, huh? Newly married, after all." This comment was enough to make one blush, as if

they had done something personal.

Sun Chan said, "Last night we were tidying things up. Sit down if you want, sister-in-law. I'm planning to go into

town soon. I'm in a hurry, better eat quickly." She didn’t bother with formalities, sat down, and ate heartily.

Zhuang Lin laughed, "Actually, | cto ask you for help. You're the only one who can help me!"

"Whatever it is, just say it. We live in the sneighborhood; how can I not help you?" Sun Chan said while

eating noodles, smiling.

"Actually, I'm thinking of setting up a small shop here." Zhuang Lin fiddled with her shirt while smiling, "You see,

it’s a bit far from town here. When people want to buy something, they have to take the bus. | want to open a

shop, stock up on oil, salt, sauces, noodles—save people from going all the way there. Plus, | can make some

money for groceries."

Sun Chan laughed, "That's a good idea. It's also helping everyone out."

"Exactly!" Zhuang Lin said, a bit uneasily, "However, | don’t really have any money either. My husband's salary,

feeding the kids, plus we've got a younger sibling at school back home, every month have to send over some

money, it’s really tough. | see you don’t seem to have a shortage. Could you lendsome?"

From the moment she mentioned opening a shop, Sun Chan realized her intent, but she didn’t expose her and

only asked now, "How much do you need?"

"Two thousand!" Zhuang Lin said with a bright smile, "It's the first tI'm asking you, givescredit, will

you? | can write you an I0U and pay you back later."

Sun Chan laughed; this woman really knows how to ask—two thousand all at once! A small shop needs that

much? Not sure what she’s scheming, and even if a shop opens, it wouldn't make much profit. Her husband's

monthly salary is just a couple hundred; how many years to pay back two thousand?

We're not even close, on what grounds should | give you so much money?

Sun Chan ate her noodles and laughed, "We all live in the scourtyard, no need for an IOU! Just too bad we

don’t have that kind of money on hand."

Zhuang Lin’s smile stiffened slightly.

Zhuang Lin laughed along, "I'm just out of options, thinking a small shop might earn something. But borrowing

money is too hard. The wealthy don’t like to lend and are very sly, those with bad intentions abound, the
