Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Pedal

Zhao Yingjun grabbed her: "Don’t go! It’s all my fault, I couldn’t protect you..."

But Su Miao wouldn’t listen at all. She suddenly pushed him away, tears streaming down her face, she sobbed, "Let’s just leave it like this! Don’t harm me anymore. The nicer you are to me, the more aunt wants to ruin me! I’m so foolish, insisting on..." After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out without looking back.

Zhao Yingjun stood there, stunned by her ambiguous words before she left. What did she mean by this? Insisting on me... Could it be she has feelings for me?

Su Miao’s beautiful face, her soft figure, such a woman’s admiration made Zhao Yingjun feel on cloud nine.

It wasn’t until Su Minjian came in calling out a few times that Zhao Yingjun snapped back to reality.

"Brother!" He felt embarrassed, yet there was an elusive sense of pride in his heart.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I’m just thinking that we’re leaving tomorrow, hoping my child doesn’t catch a cold, also worrying about my wife’s health."

"This time you’re really in for it! Oh, remember to wear extra clothes. I’ll bring two small quilts for you." Su Minjian had built up some camaraderie with him while looking for the child together recently. He handed Zhao Yingjun a cigarette and lit one for himself, seemingly having something to say but unable to start.

Then Zhao Yingjun said, "Brother, is there something you need to say? Just say it, no need to hold back given our relationship."

"Well, what I want to talk about is Miao Miao’s matter."

Zhao Yingjun felt a pang in his heart: "What’s the matter?"

"Your wife’s attitude towards her, you’ve seen it. This time the child got lost and the situation has become too big. Now there are already some gossip in the village. This is not good. I also don’t want her to stay in the village, but with so many people spreading rumors that she was the one who lost the child, it’s not good. I’m thinking maybe she should go away for a while. But you know, our family has stayed in the countryside our whole lives, how do we handle this!"

Zhao Yingjun was ecstatic; since Su Miao has feelings for him, having her by his side wouldn’t be a bad thing.

He said, "Since niece has such a thought, I’ll go back and ask our boss. I’ve heard that some good units are hiring temporary workers recently."

"Hmm, but your wife and my daughter are always fighting, I’m afraid it won’t work. She wouldn’t agree."

Su Minjian was also feeling dejected, having been strong all his life yet never having begged anyone before. Saying this was embarrassing, but seeing his daughter crying and then being chased out by his sister left her aggrieved.

Ding Qiuyue told Su Minjian their daughter must not stay in the village: "With such ugly rumors spreading, how can she find a partner? It’s better for her to leave for a while and then come back. Your sister bullies your daughter, I can’t say much. But since Su Miao isn’t married, I’m afraid people will gossip in the village, what if she can’t take it?"

After listening to his wife, Su Minjian came over seeking help.

Zhao Yingjun said: "Don’t worry, brother. I’ll arrange for her to stay in our company dormitory. Although I can’t be considered someone with great abilities, arranging a job should be no problem."

Zhao Yingjun had never liked countryside people, and hadn’t interacted with them before. Otherwise, the other time Su Miao wouldn’t have begged Gu Junming to help arrange for a job. This time Zhao Yingjun volunteered to propose, and he arranged good jobs.

As for Su Jinxiu, she didn’t regard her at all.

On the last evening that Zhao Yingjun and his wife were staying here, Ding Qiuyue made a big dinner, being extremely enthusiastic, even helped amuse the child, showing great flattery in her demeanor.

Su Miao claimed she was tired and uncomfortable, so simply stayed out. Su Jinxiu was quite pleased, thinking to herself, this wretch finally got sensible, doesn’t dare flaunt in front of my husband, still afraid I’d expose her am I?

Little did she know Su Miao didn’t want to cause any trouble before leaving, making Zhao Yingjun change his mind.

Zhao Yingjun, Su Minjian, and Ding Qiuyue naturally wouldn’t speak of it. A pleasant meal was had.

Early the next day, they took the child and left. Su Minjian had a matter in the village committee, so didn’t see them off.

Before departing, Su Miao came out too, Su Jinxiu ignored her.

Su Miao stood at a distance, wearing a pink cotton jacket, blue pants below, a snow-white scarf wrapped around her neck, her eyes tenderly glanced at Zhao Yingjun. She said nothing, just slightly nodded at Zhao Yingjun, then turned and went back inside.

Ding Qiuyue sighed, "This girl, she’s feeling shy, Xiu’er, don’t be angry, I’ll speak to her later."

"It’s okay, sister-in-law, but nowadays Miao Miao isn’t young anymore, it’s better to find someone and get married. Otherwise, staying at home too long, trouble is bound to arise." Su Jinxiu’s mouth was sharp enough to offer no face at all.
