Chapter 411: Future Plans
"Mm." Sun Chan nodded, her face full of smiles and joy, but in her heart she thought, if she could spend money to buy a house herself, it would be good. After all, military housing has to be returned sooner or later, just like how it was with her grandfather Yang Xiong.
Of course, higher-ranking individuals can live there longer, but once they pass away, it's still reclaimed.
But a house you buy yourself is different. Once transferred, it will be yours forever! No one will bother you no matter how you renovate, and when real estate is developed in the future, it will be a huge wealth.
Sun Chan shared her thoughts, and Gu Junming smiled: "Sure, let's work together and buy a house sooner."
His salary wasn't low, combined with Sun Chan's, it's pretty good.
Sun Chan breathed a sigh of relief, originally thinking he was a very male chauvinistic person, who wouldn't be happy if his wife earns more than him, but Gu Junming didn't think that way and accepted it calmly.
Gu Junming tapped Sun Chan's forehead with a smile: "What are you thinking? I'm not that petty. If you're doing well, I'm happy for you. Now my sister's business is good, our parents have land in the village and don't spend much, no worries at all. Let's get married soon, have a child, and live the good life."
Sun Chan shyly hit Gu Junming's arm, nodded slightly.
While the two were chatting, they heard footsteps. It was a woman carrying two bags of groceries up the stairs, with eggplants and napa cabbage, plus some chives. All regular stuff.
The woman greeted Gu Junming when she saw him: "It's Xiao Gu."
"Oh, this is Vice Commander Liu's wife, Ai Mei. This is my wife."
The woman smiled and held Sun Chan's hand: "I've heard about you, getting married soon? Congratulations! We'll be neighbors, discuss anything with your sister-in-law."
Sun Chan quickly smiled and thanked her. The woman seemed to be in her thirties, not looking very well, dressed plainly. She wondered, with this level, why isn't the woman doing well?
It was still Gu Junming explaining: "She and her husband are from the same village, older than him by five years. During the village movement back then, Ai Mei's grandfather saved Liu Gang's grandfather's life, so Liu Gang's grandfather forced the marriage. There's no love between them, and she hasn't gotten pregnant. Her in-laws keep urging them to divorce. If it weren't for Liu Gang's grandfather suppressing it, it would have escalated to the city."
Sun Chan frowned slightly, feeling sorry for the woman. Everything is unsuitable, they're married without love, and with infertility, the husband isn't considerate. Life must be difficult. If it weren't for the military making divorce very troublesome, they probably would have divorced long ago.
"Ai Mei tried complaining to leadership several times over this matter, Liu Gang is in career advancement, they had a big fight at the end of last year but settled down."
Sun Chan remained silent, wondering if they really settled down. It seemed like a time bomb waiting to explode. She had spent two lifetimes in the countryside and knew what life divorced women led there.
But she couldn't intervene and just sighed.
Gu Junming said: "Don't worry, whether we can have a child or not, we'll still live well together."
Sun Chan was taken aback, then her face flushed. What was he thinking! In fact, she had been pregnant in her past life, but eventually miscarried. She wasn't worried about it, hoping all her unborn children will come in this world.
Seeing her blushing, Gu Junming found it amusing, held her hand tight, and kissed her.
Sun Chan pushed Gu Junming with embarrassment: "Stop that!"
Gu Junming just laughed, his eyes filled with deep affection that couldn't be hidden. She was already his wife, no need to conceal his love and feelings.
Sun Chan, blushing, said: "What's wrong with you today, you seem different."
Gu Junming held her hand tight: "You're my wife now, of course it's different. Wife. I've long wanted to call you that."
"Stop teasing." Sun Chan pushed his hand away, laughing: "Shall we eat something to celebrate our marriage?"
"Let's have wontons. We'll go to the place where we first dined together." Gu Junming thought and said.
Sun Chan agreed, nodded, and smiled: "Good idea."
The two went again to the place where they first ate; it was still the same, but the tables and chairs were new.
Of course, Gu Junming wouldn't order just simply, ordering two bowls of wontons, several dishes, and both beer and drinks.
Seeing him still looking at the menu, Sun Chan quickly said: "That's enough! Not too much, we can't finish it!"
"If we can't finish, take some to Sister Guihua."
Sun Chan laughed: "That's enough. If you want to treat someone, let's have a better restaurant tomorrow!"
Gu Junming nodded and stopped ordering.
Sun Chan thought about the process of meeting and getting to know Gu Junming while eating, feeling they were indeed very fated. She met him in her first year escaping from the village, her biggest benefactor in this life.
Gu Junming also felt very happy with her. Ever since seeing this tender yet strong girl, there was a special bond. Finally, she's his woman. Thinking of living the often-talked-about life of wife, child, and warm family, Gu Junming was excited and unlike his usual calm self.
Here they were very intimate, extremely happy.
However, a table not far away, the people were quite unhappy, embarrassed, flustered, with deep jealousy!
She wished she could hide her head from being seen. This woman was none other than Yang Yun.
She looked no different from before, wearing better clothes. But if you looked closely, you'd see an added gloom and fierce aura in Yang Yun's eyes. Her youthful aura gone from her face.
Yang Yun didn't expect to run into this jinx while dining!
She returned partly because of a call from her father about her sister's marriage, plus her inability to cope elsewhere, so she came back.
According to Han Dong's plan, Sister Li took her to the dance hall, where she wasn't allowed to do any work but was given a manager position. Just turning around there every day earns her a lot.
Fame and fortune were abundant. Under Sister Li's guidance, she quickly succumbed to a luxurious and affluent lifestyle.
