Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander
Chapter 148: The Great Chaos

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: The Great Chaos

The old man wielded a feather duster and blindly struck the woman.

He had been to the battlefield and killed people, and though his body wasn’t what it used to be, he was more than enough to handle someone like Ding Quan’s mother. Soon, the woman was beaten until she cried out, her face and neck covered in bruises, running away quickly.

"Someone’s killed! Help! Old Wang Family has killed someone!"

The old man wanted to continue hitting, but Gu Junming rushed forward and snatched the feather duster away.

"Dad, calm down, your health is important!" Wang Shufen also supported her old father.

"I’m fine! That damned old hag bullied your sister back then, now she’s got the nerve to come asking for the child, I’ll beat her to death!" The old man shouted as he grabbed a chair and charged to the door, throwing it.

Though the woman ran fast, she was still hit on the back of her heel and fell flat on her face.

But she dared not shout in pain, hurriedly crawling out, still shouting the Wang Family was bullying her.

The old man leaned against the door frame, coughing violently.

Sun Chan and Mrs. Wang quickly went over to support the old man.

Sun Chan said, "Sir, why don’t you sit down first."

The old man really wanted to chase after and hit her, but since she was his future daughter-in-law, he agreed.

Mrs. Wang handed over a cup of water: "At this age, why are you still getting angry, not caring about your health?"

"What a shameless woman! But why is she suddenly wanting the child now?" the old man frowned and said, "Didn’t she say she’d ignore it for life?"

Wang Shufen held her son with one hand, sighed, "She’s probably trying to use the child to pressure me into remarrying. She knows my brother has a family in the city, so she’s playing this trick."

"Dream on!" Father Wang said coldly, "Keep an eye on this child, absolutely can’t let the Ding Family take him. With their kind of character, sending the child over would only make him suffer!"

Wang Shufen nodded, feeling deeply guilty, all because she insisted on marrying Ding Quan despite being deceived by him, causing the whole family distress.

Sun Chan comforted, "Everyone, don’t feel bad. Once we settle in the city, you can bring Kangkang along."

"What are you saying?"

Sun Chan smiled and said, "I’m selling some fruit now and planning to go back to school; then, Big Sister can help me."

Wang Shufen also wanted to enter the city. The schools there taught well and could avoid the harassment from Ding Quan’s family. But she was divorced with a child, which was a burden wherever she went.

Sun Chan said at this moment, "Big Sister, don’t be shy, if the business expands, we’ll need more hands. It’s better to use family members. Then Kangkang can also get a good education."

"Really? I’ll definitely work hard. I don’t have any other grievances, just hoping for Kangkang’s well-being." Wang Shufen said gratefully.

Mrs. Wang laughed, "We’ll talk about this later, let’s eat. Tidying up, don’t let that old hag affect our mood."

Wang Shufen and Sun Chan cleaned up the dishes on the ground, and everyone continued to eat, quickly forgetting that incident.

After dinner, Sun Chan proactively washed the dishes.

Gu Junming remembered to take out the things he brought. The Wang Family elders were certainly happy, not caring whether the things were valuable or not. It was a good thing they always kept in mind. After all, not being biological, who would’ve thought after all these years, he’d still be so filial.

The atmosphere at Wang Family was good, but Ding Quan’s family was not.

The grandson wasn’t brought back, the old mother was beaten, and Ding Quan was anxious, scratching his head.

"I think this won’t work out, don’t hope for it. Your wife doesn’t want to live with you now, better find someone else!"

Ding Quan was somewhat annoyed, "Who can be with me like this? No money at home, and divorced."

"What do you want? Wasn’t it you who proposed the divorce before? Now you regret it, but it’s useless."

"Find another wife for your son!" Mrs. Ding wiped her face with a towel, gritting her teeth in pain. Wasn’t it said that the old man from Wang Family was injured on the battlefield? How could he still hit so fiercely!

Ding Fu peeled corn with droopy eyelids, too lazy to care about his son’s affairs. The family was originally poor, marrying a wife was costly, better live this way.

But Ding Quan said, "No way! I must get the child back!"

Mrs. Ding frowned, "I think forget it, they aren’t giving him anyway; we have no money to raise him. When I went there, they were eating with several dishes! Our family has salted vegetables every day! Your son, she’ll raise him well."

"I don’t care, anyhow, my son must be brought over!" He stormed into the small room angrily.

The Ding Family elders only thought their son wanted to use the child to force Wang Shufen to return, but actually, Ding Quan had different ideas.

He heard from someone outside the village while drinking that boys at least sold for three or five thousand. Ding Quan was now so poor he’s practically urinating blood, with that amount, he could live well, find another wife, wouldn’t that be great! Children can be born again.

So he tossed and turned on the kang, unable to sleep, thinking how he could steal the child back.

Gu Junming could return, this was no easy matter.

The Ding Family was unhappy, and so was Su Miao.

She had returned two days ago, having a row with her parents.

Before leaving, she promised her parents that if she didn’t make progress in the city, she’d come home, find someone, and get married. She had been out for several months, except for a temporary job that Gu Junming helped find in the cafeteria, she hadn’t found any other work. Living off her savings, she’d spent all the money her parents had given. Of course, the money Zhao Yingjun gave, she dared not use. She planned to go back to the city after spring.

Still, she needed to rely on Gu Junming to find a job for her!

Su Minjian, though a farmer who hadn’t traveled far, was quite clear-headed and said to his daughter, "Su Miao, you’re not young anymore, don’t think about those outside fantasies. What does that have to do with you! Others live in buildings, drive cars, eat gourmet food, that’s their business, has nothing to do with you coming from a village! While I’m the village head, quickly find a good lad to marry. This is settled, don’t mention going to the city anymore!"

Su Miao lay on the kang crying, "I don’t want to be a farmer, and I don’t want to marry a mud leg!"

"Shut up! You’re no celestial being! Barely literate, can’t make a go of it in the city! The city and the countryside are totally different! A dozen years ago, going into the city needed an introduction letter, not everyone could enter! Better not dream, I don’t agree with you going to the city! Just bringing trouble to Su Jinxiu!"

Upon hearing her father mention Su Junxiu, Su Miao grew more annoyed, throwing a pillow off the kang, covering her ears.

"I won’t listen, I won’t listen, I won’t marry a countryside man!"

"You looking for a beating?" Su Minjian stood up wanting to enter the room to hit her but was stopped by Ding Qiuyue.
