Chapter 382: Chapter 408: 20 Years Old
This year, Gu Junming didn’t go back to his hometown for the New Year as usual. Instead, he went to Shenzhen
with Sun Chan, Yang Liu, Guihua, and others. One reason was to check out the latest clothing trends in the
South, which was important. The other was to have a good time. Sun Chan had saved quite a bit of money and
didn’t want to live a life of hardship after being reborn. She never skimmed on good food and entertainment. She
also bought a lot of local specialty medicines and sent them back to her hometown.
Life is quite comfortable now. The only regret is that Gu Junming is busier than ever; sometimes they don’t see
each other for two weeks. Sun Chan understands this is normal during a busy period when he’s climbing the
career ladder.
The two were eating at Sun Chan’s canteen, having Mapo Tofu, fried pork tenderloin, a sweet and sour fish, and
two bowls of rice.
The delicious food made many students nearby envious and jealous. This meal cost at least ten yuan, which
ordinary poor students really couldn’t afford. A girl not far away saw it and told Wu Qiong.
"That woman has such a black heart! Her boyfriend visits her, and she spends so much money. How much does a
soldier earn in a month? All wasted on her."
Wu Qiong’s meal was also not bad, with braised eggplant and braised pork.
Listening to the girl talk, Wu Qiong sneered, "You think Sun Chan is you? Always spending your parents’ money.
She earns her own."
"Really can’t be..."
Wu Qiong was too lazy to say more, pondering her father’s words: "Keep close to this Sun Chan. She's capable,
though I'm doing well now. There are many people doing business these days, unlike before. If we don’t
progress, we'll fall behind."
Wu Qiong was quite unconvinced, "Sun Chan is from a village, she..."
"Yes, a girl with no background, how has she cthis far? Do you really think pleasing men leads to success?
She’s capable herself, think more, don't just feel envious." Wu Dafu pointed to his head.
Although Wu Qiong was somewhat unconvinced, she took it to heart after all.
Listening to people around talk about Sun Chan made her uneasy. When everyone saw that Wu Qiong didn’t
allow them to speak ill of Sun Chan, they quieted down.
Gu Junming, while eating, talked about Bai Fanglan and Battalion Commander Zhao's situation: "It's not entirely
Bai Fanglan’s fault. This Battalion Commander Zhao is also clueless. You can’t live for your family all your life.
He's in his thirties and has no savings; he gave everything to the village. Which woman can live like this with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim? If plans for the future involve staying in a professional setting, daily living expenses will cost money.
Without a penny, how can you live? You can’t just wait to die if you get sick, right?"
Sun Chan nodded, giving food to Gu Junming, "We're both from the village. We have an idea of the spending
there. You don’t need to buy grains, vegetables, even cloth for clothes, or oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. They can
all be bartered for grain. Apart from getting sick, there's really nothing to spend money on. Life back home
definitely isn’t as hard as his parents claim. And they have several daughters who will receive dowries when they
marry, but they still cling onto their money-earning son. That's human greed."
"Yeah, unfortunately, that Battalion Commander Zhao just can’t cto his senses. We can only remind him
occasionally and can’t meddle too much in other people’s affairs, just watch and worry." Gu Junming sighed.
Battalion Commander Zhao is not even in the sunit as him, not to mention family matters are indeed tricky
to discuss.
Sun Chan smiled, "Officials find it hard to resolve family affairs. He's over thirty and hasn't formed his own
stance. How can anyone persuade him? Just leave it. During the holidays, shall we visit Nannan?"
Nannan is Gu Juntao’s daughter, now in good health and very pretty and cute.
Gu Junming didn’t say anything, just looked at Sun Chan with a smile.
Sun Chan laughed, "What's up with you?"
"Your 20th birthday is next month."
Seeing his burning gaze, Sun Chan's face suddenly flushed. She knew what Gu Junming was going to say.
He held Sun Chan's hand, "I'm also twenty-eight. Last time, my family urged us to plan. | know modern educated
people pursue quality of life, but I'm pretty traditional. | hope you don’t mind, will you marry me?"
Sun Chan spat softly, blushing, "When did | becan educated person!"
Gu Junming laughed happily, "So you agreed? I'll go back and write the marriage report. You have no idea; I'm
counting the days every day!"
Sun Chan's face turned even redder. What was this guy saying?
Gu Junming, seeing that Sun Chan didn’t object to the idea of marrying him, was also very happy. Finally, it was
tto get married.
After returning to the unit, he started preparing to apply for dependent housing. Additionally, the family was
notified, hoping for a wedding at the end of May. Starting now, he was saving his leave for a relatively long
marriage vacation.
Upon receiving the news, the Gu Family was very pleased and began bustling around excitedly.

Wang Guihua was unwilling to help. When her own son got married, she didn’t bother with anything. Let alone
someone not her own child, she just said her heart wasn’t doing well, and she’s too old to handle it, not adding
to the chaos for the kids.

Wang Guihua’s face turned red with anger. Gu Zishan was really hitting where it hurts recently!
Since giving birth to a girl, Yang Hongying was often subtly mocked by her mother-in-law, who commented that
her daughter wasn’t good-looking and was just dumb. Also saying the child wasn’t healthy, having never
breastfed, what future could there be?
At first, Yang Hongxia cried in grievance, but later Gu Juntao said, "What Mom says to you, don’t mind. You
shouldn't feel inferior either."
"But my daughter and | don’t get any affection, my poor daughter..." Yang Hongying cried.
Gu Juntao was filled with anger, wondering why he still couldn't stand up by now?
