Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 433

Chapter 433: Chapter 459: Want to Work and Earn Money

The baby started crying loudly, and Sun Chan quickly rocked the baby, smiling, "It’s okay, darling, don’t cry."

The baby soon stopped crying. Yang Hongying, who was in the next room, was asleep and didn’t hear a thing.

Wang Guihua was completely stunned, being so close yet failing to react!

If the baby had fallen to the ground, it wouldn’t have been good.

Her face looked terrible as she looked at Sun Chan, not knowing what to say.

Sun Chan didn’t get angry either. She smiled and placed the baby on the bed, "Auntie, you weren’t scared, were you? The baby is fine, don’t worry." She then went back to picking green beans.

There wasn’t any intention of blaming her.

Wang Guihua breathed a sigh of relief and sat to watch the baby. She chatted with Sun Chan about some household matters and took childcare a bit more seriously. Better not have Sun Chan rescue again, right?

By the time Gu Juntao came back, Sun Chan had already finished cooking: braised meat with beans, steamed egg, and a winter melon soup.

He greeted his mother while changing his shoes, "Mom, you’re here?"

Wang Guihua responded with a mmh and showed little emotion, "I came to see things, your wife is sleeping. Wash your hands and eat."

"Alright, I’ll check on the baby first." Gu Juntao smiled, went in, picked up the baby, and entered Yang Hongying’s room.

Wang Guihua thought to herself, he said it nicely, but he’s eager to see his wife.

Sun Chan, carrying her bag, went to bid farewell to the Gu Juntao couple, "You guys eat, I have to go back now."

"Why are you leaving now? Stay and eat with us?" Gu Juntao said anxiously, "You’re not our servant, cooking for us and then leaving."

Sun Chan smiled, "I’ll go back to eat with Gu Junming, it’s time for me to leave. Otherwise, I’ll miss a bus."

Gu Juntao quickly escorted her out, waiting until Sun Chan got on the bus and left before returning.

Seeing his wife comforting the baby on the sofa and Wang Guihua sitting at the dining table waiting, she prompted him to eat immediately, "You’ve been delayed long enough, don’t starve, it’s been a busy day."

"I’m alright, Hongying, next time just eat first, don’t wait for me, or you’ll get a stomachache." He went to wash his hands.

Wang Guihua’s expression darkened, thinking to herself that Yang Hongying did nothing everyday just lying down, so why should she eat first? But feeling a bit guilty, she dared not say more. Yang Hongying avoided looking at her mother-in-law, knowing nothing she did would satisfy her.

The three of them ate at the table, now that the baby could eat a little solid food, Yang Hongying gave her some porridge.

Nannan wanted to eat the steamed egg, staring at it and babbling.

But Wang Guihua, filled with anger, lowered her eyes and ate all the steamed egg without giving any to the child. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

With that much money, their days could improve. Buying calcium tablets and clothes for the child would be more manageable.

But Gu Juntao wasn’t keen, "That seems too tiring. My salary is enough for our expenses; we don’t need yours. Just take care of the child at home."

"It’s fine," Yang Hongying smiled, "Does anyone ever complain about having too much money? I think we should cultivate Nannan properly, have her learn singing, dancing, and painting. These all require money; don’t you want to save a bit more? Just listen to me, and together we can make life better."

Gu Juntao had no choice but to agree, but he instructed Yang Hongying that she could only make one item a day at most.

"If our family reaches the point where you have to work yourself to the bone, it’s not worth living anymore. Besides, Nannan is still young, and it’ll be a few years before expenses increase. I’ll save up in the meantime, and your job is to take care of her; the money-making part is on me."

"Got it," Yang Hongying smiled, "I suddenly feel like life has a direction now. People really say that money is the best way to stay confident."

Gu Juntao hugged his wife and kissed her, "Alright, my little money-grubber, it’s late, let’s sleep. I’ve been missing you these couple of days."

"Seeing me every day and still missing me?"

"I just miss you. Even if I see you every day, I’ll still miss you."

"Smooth talker." Yang Hongying blushed, giving Gu Juntao a playful glare yet couldn’t help but smile. The couple’s relationship full of honey-like sweetness made them feel good seeing each other, easing their mood significantly.

Wang Guihua returned home fuming, wanting to discuss how unfilial her daughter-in-law was with her husband, only to find him packing a bag in the living room, with various daily necessities placed on the table.
