Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 434

Chapter 434: Chapter 460: Bai Fanglan Came

Wang Guihua was stunned: "What are you doing? Going to the grassroots again?"

Gu Zishan was tidying his clothes: "Yes, this time it’s going to be longer, about half a year. You should come with me."

"What? I have to go too! Conditions at the grassroots are tough, no food, no water, it’s inconvenient to cook." Wang Guihua couldn’t really endure hardships. Over the years, all the cooking was done by maids, and she had basically done nothing.

Hearing about going to the grassroots made her a bit panicked.

"If you don’t want to go, then forget it. I’ll go by myself. Anyway, you never cared for me before. I never expected you to." Gu Zishan had long known this woman only cared for her own enjoyment. When had she ever cared about him?

Wang Guihua quickly explained: "It’s not that I don’t want to go, but your daughter-in-law is sick now, shouldn’t I take care of them? And there’s a little granddaughter, at a vulnerable time, aren’t they relying on me? I’m worried about the kids, worried about you, I’m busy all day and get nothing but complaints?"

Gu Zishan laughed in anger: "The less you interfere, the better their lives will be! If it weren’t for you, would the child be sick? Besides, have you really been taking care of them every day? Don’t think I don’t know, Gu Juntao begged Sun Chan and Qian Xiaoshuang to take care of his wife together, when did you ever help? Have you cooked a single meal or washed any clothes? Sitting there acting like a grand dame, giving orders, and you dare say you’re busy!"

"I haven’t..." She felt a bit guilty, but as a mother-in-law, should she be working like a slave? Isn’t it enough to just pretend to care for the home?

"Fine, you don’t want to go to the grassroots, and I don’t want to take you! If it weren’t for you always causing trouble at the son’s place, would I let you go? You really think you’re important!" Gu Zishan finished speaking, grabbed his bag, and strode out.

Wang Guihua followed him out: "You’re too much, how can you leave like this..."

Gu Zishan stood at the door, looked back at her: "Oh, right. I forgot to tell you, I’m leaving for half a year, and I’ll take the salary passbook with me, or I won’t even have money for meals."

"How can you do this? Leave it with me, I’ll send you money later." She had controlled the finances for over twenty years, and now he wanted it back, leaving Wang Guihua completely dumbfounded.

"You deposit my money in the bank every month, when have you ever let me spend it? The household expenses are all covered by the old man! You keep saying you’re saving for the son, but when he got married, you didn’t contribute a dime, I think you’re just obsessed with money!"

"That’s because I’m not satisfied with the daughter-in-law, I’m saving it for the son, he’ll get it eventually. Give me the passbook! I’ll send money to you later." Money was what Wang Guihua valued most at home.

"Heh. Why can’t I spend my own money? Last time I went out, you didn’t care, if I hadn’t borrowed money from a comrade, I’d have starved! When I asked you, you shamelessly said you forgot. You have no regard for me, naturally, you wouldn’t care if I lived or died, I have to fend for myself, just stay home and don’t cause trouble for the son, and I’ll thank you!"

"Gu Zishan, don’t go too far!" Wang Guihua shouted angrily: "Not giving me a penny, are you breaking up with me?"

"If breaking up makes you happy, then I’d gladly do it." Gu Zishan sighed: "Anyway, over the years, you have squeezed plenty from me, enough for you to spend. Don’t cry poverty to me, I know how much you have. Let’s leave it at that!"

Gu Zishan had no feelings left for his wife, grabbed his bag and left.

The two laughed and chatted while cleaning up, and soon the food was on the table, just as they were about to eat, the phone rang.

Sun Chan quickly went to answer the phone; there weren’t many people who knew the number here, she was worried it was something at the factory, but it turned out to be Bai Fanglan calling.

Sun Chan was puzzled, since that rainy day encounter, she hadn’t seen her again.

Bai Fanglan laughed: "I accidentally got your number, how are you?"

"I’m good." Sun Chan smiled faintly; "Who are you with?"

Bai Fanglan could tell that Sun Chan’s attitude was very distant, but she couldn’t blame her, she clearly understood what was between them, Bai Fanglan had more than once harmed Sun Chan, openly and secretly causing trouble, it was already quite good that she wasn’t greeted with hostility.

Bai Fanglan said: "I actually went to your clothing store the other day, and saw several outfits that looked nice, I want to make a few sets, when will you be in the store?"

Sun Chan said: "I’m attending classes now, most of the time I won’t be there. If you like those clothes, just tell the staff there, I’ll let them know in advance and give you a discount of twenty percent, just tell them you’re Bai Fanglan."

"No need, I’d rather talk to you in person, I have an important event to attend, I want some attractive clothes. I’m afraid they won’t understand, whenever you’re available is fine, I’m not in a hurry." Bai Fanglan said with an unusually humble tone. This was not how she used to speak.
