Chapter 453 Fang Qing's Own Trap: Being Blackmailed
Then it dawned on her, "Did Lin Yuyao tell her?"
"Yes, Lin Yuyao said it, but she heard about me from her husband. And her husband and your husband are colleagues. You told your husband about me, didn't you?"
After going around in circles, we still ended up back with Fang Qing herself.
She slapped her thigh and said, "Oh dear, how would I know? At the station, the police asked me to explain my relationship with you. Would anything have happened if I hadn't? My husband even suspected that I had something going on with you. Didn't I have to explain?"
Yang Guangzong: "..." That's right. Her husband suspected her, so she explained, and then it reached Ye Xiaotong's ears.
"Hmph, let me tell you, if I can't find Ye Xiaotong, you'll be sorry."
Fang Qing was taken aback, then pressed him for an answer, "What do you mean? Ye Xiaotong is missing?"
"Yes, she's gone."
"How is that possible?" Fang Qing said anxiously, "She's not at work, is she? Then she might... she might have taken leave. Go to her place and wait for her. Maybe she'll go back tonight."
Of course we have to wait.
He's going to wait outside her house for a few days.
"Lend me a hundred yuan."
Fang Qing thought she had misheard. "What?"
Yang Guangzong gritted his teeth and said, "Lend me a hundred yuan, are you deaf?"
Fang Qing: "..."
Good heavens! She'd seen people borrow money before, but never like this.
Even debt collectors don't treat him like this.
"You want to borrow money from me? Is this the kind of attitude you have when you ask me for money?"
Yang Guangzong snorted coldly, "You promised to bring me to find Ye Xiaotong, which resulted in my detention and fines. Now that we haven't found her, shouldn't you take responsibility?"
what?
Fang Qing felt as if her worldview had been violently shaken.
She said in disbelief, "I kindly brought you here, and you couldn't find anyone. At most, I don't need your thanks. Why are you blaming me and making me take responsibility? Are you kidding me?"
Yang Guangzong's face hardened, and he said in an unfriendly tone, "Of course you have to take responsibility. If it weren't for you, I would still be doing well back home. I trusted you, which is why I brought the few hundred yuan that my family only had with me. If we can't find Ye Xiaotong, you have to take responsibility."
Fang Qing's worldview was turned upside down. "So you mean I've caused trouble by trying to help?"
Yang Guangzong said coldly, "It's only considered a kind help if you can actually help. If you can't, aren't you just causing me trouble? Quick, lend me a hundred yuan, or you'll regret it."
After saying that, he punched the wall behind her, causing the plaster to fall off.
Fang Qing was startled; she was now afraid, but she still didn't want to hand over the money.
"I have no money." Her tone had weakened considerably, and her voice trembled slightly.
"I don't care, you're the one who caused my detention and fine. Forget about the detention, you have to pay me back the fine."
Fang Qing: "..." Borrowing 100 yuan turned into paying him back the fine?
"No, you were detained and fined because you brought a kitchen knife, what does that have to do with me? You have the nerve to ask me to pay your fine, you caused me to be fined fifty yuan too, do you know that?"
Yang Guangzong: "You're making a fuss over a mere fifty yuan fine? I was fined two hundred. Hurry up, you have to pay at least half of it back, pay up now."
"I have no money."
"You dare not give it to me?" Yang Guangzong grabbed her collar and threatened, raising his fist the size of a sandbag. "Do you believe I'll beat you to death?"
Fang Qing: "..."
Both men she encountered were well-mannered. Only Lu Jiangting was so angry that he slapped her. How could this man be like this, raising his fist and shouting for a fight?
Fang Qing was terrified and unsure whether the other party would really dare to lay a hand on her.
Finally, he weakly said, "I really don't have that many hundred."
"Take as much as you can, quick."
Helpless, Fang Qing took out all the thirty-odd yuan in her pocket.
Before they could even count the exact number, Yang Guangzong snatched it away.
Watching Yang Guangzong strut away, Fang Qing stomped her feet in anger.
"Damn it, this is robbery!"
Despite her cursing, she didn't dare to try and take the money back, and could only watch helplessly as he took it away.
Luckily, I only had a little over thirty yuan on me; otherwise, I would have been furious.
Fang Qing didn't dare to tell anyone about being robbed.
She returned home empty-handed, and Lu Cong glanced at her before letting out a disgruntled snort.
Wang Cuilan had a completely different attitude.
"Fang Qing, are the vegetables at the market not good today?"
Fang Qing didn't dare to tell the truth, and only said, "No, Mother, I forgot to bring my money, I came back to get it."
Lu Cong snorted and said, "You've been gone for so long if you didn't take the money?"
"I ran into a colleague and chatted with him for a bit, which delayed me for a while. Dad, Mom, I'll go buy it now."
Fang Qing quickly went back to get the money, and then jogged to the vegetable market.
Wang Cuilan said, "She wouldn't be doing this on purpose, would she? Trying to get us to give her money for groceries."
Lu Cong: "No, she can do whatever she wants, I won't give her a single cent."
Wang Cuilan said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? It's one thing to make her do chores, but to make her pay for her own groceries is another. What if she throws a tantrum and refuses to do it?"
"What do you mean her money? Old woman, are you confused? She doesn't have any money at all. That's all money she tricked Jiang Ting out of him."
After falling out with Fang Qing, Lu Jiangting gave all his salary and bonuses to Lu Cong to manage, keeping only ten yuan for himself as pocket money.
The organization has treated them well, and they received a considerable amount of bonuses for the New Year. After deducting various expenses, they have managed to save over a thousand yuan in the past few months.
In the past, I wouldn't have dared to even think about it.
My son has been working for several years but hasn't been able to earn a single penny.
In the past, Lu Jiangting always spent as much as he could. Although he earned quite a bit, Fang Qing always made his life very difficult, and he often had to borrow money from friends to make ends meet.
Of course, Fang Qing always had an excuse for asking for money.
Children need clothes, children need to go to school, children get sick, and children need to eat good food to supplement their nutrition as they grow.
After the marriage, the old man's medicine money, the family's food and drink, the family's clothes, household expenses... and so on, were all used as excuses.
In Lu Cong's view, no matter what she said, the fact remained that they had indeed saved money after leaving Fang Qing.
So he had made up his mind that no matter whether they divorced or not, he would never let Fang Qing manage the money again.
Fang Qing was also troubled by this matter. When she returned, she learned that they had fired the nanny.
I originally thought it would be good for them to hire a nanny to help cook a couple of meals and do the laundry for the whole family.
She can have a hot meal ready when she gets home from work, saving her time, effort, and money.
Now things are really messed up. Not only has the nanny been fired, but the cooking has fallen on her again. Even Lu Jiangting doesn't give her his salary anymore, so she has to use her own money to buy groceries.
