Chapter 560 is just here to ask for money.
Ok?
Wang Jianguo looked at Lu Jiangting, "Brother Jiangting, really?"
Because of Wang Jianjun, Lu Jiangting's attitude towards Wang Jianguo was acceptable; he just didn't like Wang Zhong.
He nodded and said, "Yes, nowadays, most jobs require a full eight-hour workday, but Fang Qing and her colleagues rarely work a full eight hours."
Wang Jianguo stroked his chin and thought for a moment. He thought that although he had to work until midnight, the total time was not long. It didn't start until four o'clock in the afternoon. Wasn't that the same as not working all day?
That's very good.
"Father, why don't we leave now and come back tomorrow during the day?"
"Leave? What are you talking about?" Wang Zhong snorted coldly, glared at Lu Jiangting, and said, "I'm not leaving. I'll stay here and wait."
What he really wanted to ask was, "Why haven't we eaten yet? The kids are already back."
Little did he know that Fang Qing had prepared the meal before leaving, keeping it warm in the pot. They were waiting for Wang Chenchen and Lu Jiangting to return before eating.
The amount they need is not enough for these two people.
If they don't leave soon, the food will get cold.
But it would be too embarrassing to ask for a meal from them, so Wang Zhong said, "What if they run away?"
"..."
Lu Cong said somewhat speechlessly, "Brother Wang, what are you saying? You can run away, but you can't hide. We're staying here, where else can we run to? Besides, I'm already in this state, how can I run away? Don't worry, I can't run away. When Fang Qing comes back, we'll find out about that money together. She's not here, so we don't know what's going on. There's no use you guarding it."
Wang Jianguo was starving and exhausted from the three-day train journey.
He just couldn't understand it. He was so young and couldn't handle it, so how come his old man was still so energetic?
"Dad, let's find a place to rest first." He thought to himself, "Look at my dark circles and tired face!"
Wang Zhong remained silent and began to examine the house.
After looking around, he said, "Why is there only one bedroom?"
"Yes, the place is small, with only one bedroom. Jiang Ting's mother and I sleep on this bed in the living room, and Jiang Ting occasionally sleeps on a makeshift bed on the floor next to it when he comes back. He usually stays in the dormitory. The bedroom inside is also small, just big enough for Fang Qing to sleep with Chenchen. Our conditions here are really not good."
Ok?
Wang Zhong and Wang Jianguo looked at each other strangely.
I thought to myself, aren't these two married? Why are they still sleeping on the floor or in the dorm?
When Wang Zhong saw that even Lu Jiangting had to sleep on the floor, he knew there wouldn't be enough room for them to stay.
Fine, I'll come tomorrow then. I've been traveling for days on end, and I really can't take it anymore.
"Okay, we'll come back tomorrow. Where's a guesthouse?"
"Turn left after exiting the alley and it's about 100 meters away."
The two then left.
As soon as they left, Wang Cuilan breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Oh dear, Wang Jianjun's father doesn't seem like a good guy. He's probably here to cause trouble for us. Old man, you have a lot of ideas, what do you think we should do?"
Lu Cong frowned deeply. "Don't overthink it. They probably just heard about the compensation and came to ask for money. Let's wait for Fang Qing to come back and ask her what happened. We'll talk about it after we've found out."
"Is there even a question? I bet Fang Qing pocketed it all. That Fang Qing is really something. Even though I'm not very well-educated, I know there are rules about how this kind of money should be divided. How could she have the nerve to pocket it all by herself? If people didn't know, fine, but now that they do, it's no wonder they're going to hold her accountable."
Lu Jiangting sneered, "Wang Zhong is not a responsible father at all, how dare he try to divide the inheritance?"
Wang Cuilan: "..."
“Oh dear, son, Wang Zhong is indeed a scoundrel, but if this gets out, Fang Qing won’t be in the right.”
She actually wanted to say that Fang Qing wasn't a good person either, but she held back.
Regardless of anything else, Fang Qing is still her daughter-in-law.
Lu Jiangting kept his head down and didn't say anything, but his expression was definitely unpleasant.
Lu Cong sighed and said, "Jiang Ting, you shouldn't have explained when that old man spread rumors and slandered your reputation."
Lu Jiangting looked up at Lu Cong with a puzzled expression.
Lu Cong continued, "You spread rumors so easily, can you explain them clearly? The more you explain, the more rumors my family spreads. You'll have to explain one after another. You even said you'd find colleagues to testify, but can they testify for everything?"
Lu Jiangting thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Father is right, but those words were too harsh. I only explained because I didn't want them to slander me."
"Since you know it's slander, what's the point of your explanation?"
Lu Jiangting felt that his father was the one who understood things best. "Father, that makes sense. So what should I do?"
"Think about what Yuyao did."
"Yuyao..."
He remembered that a few days ago, when Fang Qing slandered Yu Yao, Yu Yao directly contacted the police and had Fang Qing detained to clear her name.
"Dad, I understand. If he dares to talk nonsense again, I'll send that old man to jail."
"Yes, that's right," Lu Cong said with satisfaction.
Their son was raised to be naive and kind, which is why he always suffers losses.
"Alright, let's not think about these things anymore. Let's eat first, we're all starving."
"Hey, Jiang Ting, quickly help your father up, I'll go get the food."
She put all the food on the table, letting Lu Jiangting eat with Wang Chenchen first, while she put her own bowl aside and picked up another bowl to go to the bedside.
She would only come back to eat after feeding the old man first.
Despite her cunning and deceitful behavior in front of her daughter-in-law, she served her son and husband without any complaints.
Both she and the old man exploited their daughter-in-law, but she was different from the old man.
The old man was raised by a schoolteacher in feudal society, and he still held some feudalistic beliefs in his heart. He felt that it was his daughter-in-law's duty to serve her parents-in-law and take good care of her husband and children, and he did not think that he was exploiting his daughter-in-law.
But Wang Cuilan is different; she exploits her daughter-in-law mainly because that's how she herself has lived.
She finally became a mother-in-law after years of being a daughter-in-law.
But she also understands that things are different now than in the old society, and daughters-in-law are not so easy to manage, so she will use her own methods to coax her daughters-in-law to do chores.
……
Fang Qing was rather absent-minded at work today.
She seemed to see the Wang family father and son.
She was on the other side of the street, quite far away, so she couldn't see clearly. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared, so she wasn't sure if it was real.
"But what if it's true? What if they really come?" Fang Qing muttered to herself beside the trash can.
Sister Zhang, who was in the distance, heard her speaking, but couldn't make out what she was saying.
"Fang Qing, what did you say?"
Fang Qing snapped out of her daze. "Huh? No, it's nothing."
Sister Zhang walked over, looked at Fang Qing, and whispered, "You've seemed distracted all day. Is something wrong?"
Fang Qing shook her head, gave a wry smile, and said, "No, I was just thinking about the pay cut."
"Oh, you mean that? Well, there's nothing we can do about it. You're missing three days of work, not because of any important family matters, but because... well, they'll definitely deduct your salary."
