CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 468: ENTANGLEMENT

If it were someone else’s house, they’d probably kick her out, but she could see that these two people were kind-hearted and wouldn’t do that.

Gu Junming frowned silently, his face darkened. Is this like picking soft persimmons to squeeze? How did you treat us yesterday? And you still want us to help you?

If we help you, who knows how you’ll retaliate against us for your husband later!

Sun Chan exchanged a glance with Gu Junming and then said, "Don’t cry for now. Even an upright official finds it hard to resolve domestic matters, let alone I don’t even know what your problems are, how can I help you?"

"I don’t want to divorce him! If I divorce him, I can’t continue living; please show me a way to survive!"

"He didn’t say anything about divorcing you, did he?" Sun Chan found it even stranger, "Didn’t he just say he wants you to go back to the village? The autumn harvest is about to start; wouldn’t it be good for you to go back and help?"

"No, he plans to throw me into the village and not let me come out. He will definitely find another woman here, and I’ll become an abandoned wife!"

"You should discuss this with him, we’re outsiders and it’s not appropriate for us to intervene..." Sun Chan looked helpless. Whether he wants you to follow the army or stay at home isn’t up to us.

It’s not even about divorcing you or not wanting you; it’s just being apart for a while, I wouldn’t bother with it.

Ai Mei still wanted to continue talking, but Liu Gang, who had already heard upstairs, hurriedly bolted down, grabbed Ai Mei’s arm, and shouted loudly, "Are you crazy, why are you coming to them again?"

"I don’t want to leave..."

"Shut up!" He said to Gu Junming, "Sorry, my wife probably hurt her head; she’s always worried I’ll send her back to the countryside. I just want her to go back to recuperate; we’re not getting a divorce."

Gu Junming casually replied, "No problem, though seeing someone crying at my house so early in the morning is quite a shock, explain it well to her, we need to rest."

"Okay, we’ll be leaving now." Liu Gang quickly pulled his wife’s arm and exited the place, angrily punching her in the corridor.

Ai Mei staggered a few steps, tears in her eyes, "Liu Gang, are you trying to drive me to death?"

"If you want death, then go die! Do you think I care about you? Your head’s full of crap, running to someone else’s place to cry." With a disgusted face, Liu Gang went upstairs.

Ai Mei trembled with grief, why is my fate so bitter, and no one sympathizes with me, nor helps me?

Why does this beast of a man treat me like this? Her mind was flooded with questions she couldn’t understand. However, she never considered how she treated those who helped her.

Gu Junming and Sun Chan were in low spirits too, knowing clearly what Liu Gang was up to but couldn’t intervene.

Because once involved, Ai Mei, that troublemaker, would certainly turn against them for the sake of her marital stability.

Sun Chan said, "There’s a saying that pitiful people must have something detestable about them. If it were me, such a marriage wouldn’t be worth having, but she treats it like a treasure and now gets played like this."

"Yes, Liu Gang’s character is indeed vile; keeping him in the army would be a disaster in the future."

His own wife of many years, and he says to hit or cheat her so easily; if he went to the battlefield, how could it turn out well? He’d surely be a traitor.

Gu Junming deeply despised people like this!

"Forget it, we can’t manage this matter, people need to walk the paths they choose." Sun Chan didn’t want to handle it anymore.

Gu Junming nodded, "You go ahead with your work, I’ll find an opportunity to mention this person’s issue to the higher-ups."

Sun Chan smirked, "Really? Thinking about reporting the bad guy?"

"Shouldn’t I?" Gu Junming slammed the wall with his hand, "If we don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll think we’re easy to bully!"

It’s indeed not good to keep a scourge like Liu Gang around.

Sun Chan wasn’t very interested in the upstairs affair, she went off to paint. Her current life was busy enough, no time to mind how others were doing; focusing on her own life was more important.

After finishing the sketches, she made some scallion pancakes; Gu Junming finished washing clothes and hung them on the balcony. He saw Sun Chan had already made a stack of pancakes, with added scallions, they looked vibrant and smelled very fragrant.

He smiled and said, "Having a wife is great. These things can be simply made at home." Previously, things like these were seldom eaten.

"It’s nothing, I learned from Sister Guihua; if you add some sausages, it tastes even better. I’ll make it for you next time."

"Sure." Gu Junming ate a dozen scallion pancakes and went off to work satisfied.

Sun Chan changed clothes and went to the boutique. Upon arrival, she found Bai Fanglan was there waiting, saying she wanted to buy clothes. Sun Chan had forgotten about it, but seeing her recalled it.

She smiled and greeted, then called over a woman named Sister-in-law Lan, "Help Bai Fanglan take measurements, and also show her our design sketches in the album. Let her choose the clothes she likes; we’ll give her a discount then."

"Got it." The woman smiled and went to serve her.

Bai Fanglan quickly said, "I’m here to find you; I actually also want to get closer to you. After all, we had so many misunderstandings before." She wanted to go out for a meal with Sun Chan to make things easier for Yuan Bing to take action, but if she didn’t go, what could she do?

"Sorry, I have to go to the main factory. Actually, they’re all the same here, and the clothes are always made by them; choosing the clothes is all you need to do."

Sun Chan had no desire to get closer to her. Offering favor unasked often hides bad intentions, or wants me to do something, or borrow money? She didn’t suspect Bai Fanglan was planning to trick her, but it certainly wasn’t out of goodwill.

Bai Fanglan anxiously wanted to say more, but Sun Chan already smiled with the sketches and said, "I have to leave now, Han Dong is busy; if I’m late, I won’t see him."

She spoke swiftly and decisively left. Bai Fanglan hurriedly chased after and talked to her for a while.

"No matter what, can’t we at least have a meal? I was wrong in the past; please give me some face."

"Sorry, I’m really busy." Sun Chan glanced at her watch, "Really no time. Moreover, I’m not mad at you. I haven’t taken our previous issues to heart, don’t let it bother you."

Sun Chan thought to herself, I’m not planning on being friends with you, are you overthinking?

No matter what Bai Fanglan said, Sun Chan still freed herself from Bai Fanglan’s entanglement and quickly left. On the road, Sun Chan wondered what Bai Fanglan really wanted, why she kept trying to get close?

Arriving at the factory, she saw Yang Zhen and Guihua in the yard checking on the clothes being shipped out.
