Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Gossipy Woman

Sun Chan was very grateful to her.

Yang Zhen said, "It’s nothing, these students were a bit too much. I’ll bring it to the school’s attention."

She chatted more with Sun Chan and found out she was here to study, so she said, "In that case, we can’t let them trouble you again next time. Let’s record their misconduct; we can’t let them continue bullying others."

Sun Chan replied, "I still don’t want to affect their graduation. After all, I won’t be staying here long. They’re causing trouble now, but I think they’ll understand when they grow up."

"But if they keep doing this, you’ll be the one suffering," Yang Zhen thought. Sun Chan was indeed kind-hearted.

Sun Chan thought for a moment and said, "I’ll handle it myself. Anyway, my current boyfriend is in the military, so they don’t dare go too far. After all, they’re kids; I still hope not to involve the school."

Yang Zhen nodded, handed her a few books, and said, "I have some reference materials here. They’re quite detailed; take them home and have a look."

Sun Chan was extremely grateful and hurriedly took them, saying, "Thank you so much!"

"No need to be so polite," Yang Zhen laughed, "We’re destined to meet, and I think you’re quite nice. I’m willing to be friends with you." She didn’t mention Han Dong since the matchmaking wasn’t successful. If she did, people might think she still had feelings for Han Dong. In fact, she did, thinking of using this opportunity to get closer to Han Dong, but it’s not something she could openly say.

Sun Chan didn’t think much of it, gratefully took the books, and said, "Thank you very much, Teacher Yang."

"Just call me Yang Zhen, no need for ’Teacher.’

When Sun Chan was saying goodbye, she suddenly remembered her bag was torn, with its contents scattered everywhere. She hurriedly rushed to pick them up, and in her haste, the change in her wallet rolled out all over the place. The two laughed while quickly picking them up.

Sun Chan thanked her and left.

Yang Zhen watched her leave, wondering if having a good relationship with Sun Chan would lead her to learn more about Han Dong. She found her motives foolish. After all, he didn’t like her; knowing his friend wouldn’t change anything. As she was tidying up the office, she suddenly saw a photo under the desk.

Yang Zhen curiously picked it up to see it was a photo of the girl and a soldier together. They were standing side by side with sweet expressions; he seemed to be her partner. She placed it in the book, intending to return it to her tomorrow. noveldrama

Sun Chan went home and bought cotton. Then she realized the photo she kept in her wallet was gone. She bit her lip, thinking it might have been taken by those girls when they snatched her bag. What a nuisance! But since there were more at home, she simply planned to put a new one in when she returned; she didn’t think much of it. Just as she was about to pay, someone patted her on the shoulder.

Since she had just been robbed, Sun Chan instinctively stepped back a few steps and looked at the person cautiously, "What do you want!"

Gu Juntao was startled, then laughed, "Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?"

"Oh, it’s you!" Sun Chan said, embarrassedly smiling, "I thought it was... Sorry."

Gu Juntao then noticed the injury on her face, "What happened? Did someone hit you? What on earth happened? Was it my brother...?" He began to feel tense inside, wondering if his brother was violent and had domestically abused her. What should he do? Should he stand by this? How could he behave like this?

Sun Chan hurriedly waved her hand, "No, you’re misunderstanding. I was robbed."

"What did you say?"

Sun Chan looked at the cotton seller, who had an astonished expression and was clearly curious, so she hurriedly paid and took Gu Juntao aside. She explained the situation, and Gu Juntao frowned, "What kind of people are they? I’ll go talk to the school and make them discipline those girls!"

If it were a boy, it would have been something else, but it was several girls. Wasn’t this crazy?

"I still don’t want to escalate the matter," she smiled, "After all, they’re kids. If they receive punishments, the record will follow them for life, wouldn’t it affect them forever? So I thought of asking Gu Junming to scare them a bit, and that’s it."

"But can’t my brother come? Okay, I’ll scare them," Gu Juntao said with a smile, "Although I’ve retired, I still have my uniform, just without rank. But they probably don’t understand much, so let me handle it."

Sun Chan felt a bit embarrassed as she was not very familiar with this brother-in-law.

Gu Juntao shrugged, "It’s settled then. If you wait for my brother to come back, who knows what kind of mess these girls would’ve made by then. I’ll handle it; it’s settled."

"Alright, but be careful; those girls are quite tough."

Gu Juntao smiled, "Don’t worry, I’m not as good as my big brother, but I’m no push-over either. These people need a good scare."

"Thank you so much."

"Why be polite? We’re family. I’ll escort you home."

Gu Juntao picked up the cotton and walked Sun Chan home.

The two weren’t too familiar with each other, but Sun Chan wasn’t like she was fresh from the village and could engage in small talk. Gu Juntao, feeling happy and cheerful due to his marriage, chatted with her, and the atmosphere was pleasant and harmonious.

When Sun Chan opened the door, a neighbor was coming out to throw trash. This woman, in her forties, usually didn’t interact much with Sun Chan. She glanced at Gu Juntao, very curious, "Who is this person, young lady? Your boyfriend?"

"No," Sun Chan lowered her head, showing no intention of talking.

The woman sensed it, pouted, and went back inside.

Sun Chan generally didn’t interact much with neighbors, so she didn’t pay attention, but Gu Juntao furrowed his brow—these busybodies were the most troublesome. So when Sun Chan opened the door to let him in, he refused.

"Go inside, Sister-in-law. I’ll visit the school tomorrow at noon."

"Wait!" Sun Chan called out to Gu Juntao and, wanting to give him something, found some fruits to give him.

"Take them home for your wife to eat. They’re nothing special."

Gu Juntao hesitated but eventually took them and left.

Sun Chan returned to her room to make cotton pants.

The neighbor lady spoke to her husband, "The woman next door isn’t any good, living with a partner without being married, and now another man comes along—they look close; who would’ve thought at such a young age, she’s quite adept."

Her husband, smoking and cleaning the ashes, heard her words and glared at her, "What are you blabbering about? I think this girl is quite nice; stop spewing nonsense over there. Can’t they have a relative or friends? How did you get such a dirty mind?"
