Chapter 361 Advising Fang Qing to Divorce
"It's already October, and it's still so hot. I wonder when it will cool down."
One of her colleagues said, "You should really hope it gets warmer; winter is awful."
Fang Qing looked at her in surprise.
They've been working here for years, so they know better than anyone whether it's the winter or the summer that they suffer.
“In the summer, the heat only lasts for a short while. We start sweeping at dawn, and if we work quickly, we can finish before sunrise. The night shift can start later and avoid the hottest time. But in winter, working outside at dawn can be freezing, especially on snowy days…”
Fang Qing was terrified when her colleague told her that the work was several times more difficult in winter.
She felt she had suffered enough in the summer. If it weren't for the thought of a better life in the future, she would have quit long ago.
Winter is several times more miserable, how can we get through this?
This job is nowhere near as good as my previous job at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Fang Qing, to be honest, I think you married the wrong person."
Fang Qing looked at her.
"You, you could be living a good life with your son and the subsidies, why did you have to get married? You're just taking care of your parents for no reason."
They were paired up, and after getting to know each other, they also learned about each other's family situations.
Fang Qing also needs to complain. When she has nothing to do, she complains to her colleagues about her terrible in-laws, exaggerating and embellishing the story.
After hearing it so many times, the other party naturally felt indignant on her behalf.
"If it really doesn't work out, then don't stay with him. You can work and support your son at the same time. Isn't that better than supporting two more elderly people?"
Fang Qing shook her head with a bitter smile, "How can a military marriage be dissolved? I was also fooled. When I married him, his parents were not sick. They had land and fields in their hometown and were good at working. They would also give us some subsidies from time to time."
Little did they know, their marriage had barely begun when his father was diagnosed with cancer, and his mother went blind from crying. They can't even support themselves, let alone work. And Jiang Ting is their only son. Tell me, what can we do if we don't bring them here?"
"Well... oh well, it's all fate. Fang Qing, you've had a tough life too."
"Exactly! If I were lucky, Chenchen's dad wouldn't have died. If Chenchen's dad were alive, none of this mess would have happened."
"Is your Jiang Ting good to Chenchen?"
“He’s good to Chenchen. He and Chenchen’s father were friends for many years. After Chenchen’s father passed away, he took care of us. If it weren’t for how good he is to Chenchen, I wouldn’t have married him.”
"Sigh! It's not easy to find a good stepfather for a child. No matter what, he's good to Chenchen. You can only endure it. Just hang in there until the old couple passes away, and then you'll finally get through it."
"Yes."
Fang Qing would never get a divorce. She told herself that all her decisions along the way had been right.
The hardship is only temporary. As long as I get through this period, I will definitely not lose.
Fang Qing bought a carton of cigarettes after receiving her salary today.
The old man's eyes lit up as he looked at the cigarette she casually placed on the table.
Lu Cong swallowed hard and asked, "Fang Qing, why are you buying cigarettes for no reason?"
Fang Qing said, "Dad, I didn't buy these cigarettes; they were given to me by my workplace."
"What? The company provides cigarettes?"
"Yes, rice, oil, vegetables, tea, and cigarettes may all be provided, in rotation."
This company has pretty good benefits.
"Don't smoke, Jiang Ting said you can't smoke. My sister has to travel a lot to help me sell the shop. I'll send these cigarettes to her later. I heard my brother-in-law smokes."
These cigarettes look expensive; why would you send them to your son-in-law, an outsider?
What were you thinking?
He dared not give this good stuff to anyone else, but he also dared not say that he wanted to smoke it.
Lu Cong had no choice but to agree, and said he would send it another day.
Sending it was out of the question, so he secretly hid the carton of cigarettes. When they weren't home, he would secretly take it to the dilapidated alley behind the house to smoke.
He's been taking his medication diligently lately, and his condition seems to be under good control, so he should be able to smoke again.
……
The approval for the second issue has been granted.
Song Qin placed the documents on Lin Yuyao's desk.
“I went directly to Director Zhao. At first, Director Zhao was worried that Xiaotong’s realistic subject matter was too relatable and that such a tragedy happening in today’s society would have a bad influence. I talked to him for a while and finally convinced him to accept it.”
Lin Yuyao looked at the approved documents with satisfaction. "Sister Song, thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome, it's what I should do. But..." she sighed and said, "People born in big cities really only see the tip of the iceberg of this world."
Lin Yuyao: "If you want to write about this kind of subject, you can ask around to see if there are any reporters who can help you. We can buy stories from them."
Song Qin shook her head. "Forget it. Those kinds of places are too dangerous. What if the reporter goes there and never comes back? Besides, there are already so many things to report in the city. Who would do something so thankless?"
That's true. Rural suffering literature is still too advanced for today, or rather, it's hard to resonate with everyone. We should wait at least another ten years before considering it.
She knew quite a few melodramatic stories, but one person's energy is limited, and she had too many things to do.
After thinking for a moment, he asked Ye Xiaotong, "Xiaotong, would it be okay if you wrote one realistic story every month?"
"Is this the only time?"
"Pretty much, just use the first person and make it immersive." He paused for a moment, then added, "It doesn't have to be so tragic, just something uplifting. For example, a high school student who starts to hate school and skips classes for some reason, but later returns to school for some reason, works hard, and gets into university."
As soon as she said that, Ye Xiaotong immediately had a story in her mind.
Returning to school and working hard—isn't this what she's always dreamed of?
"Okay, sure."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Once you finish writing it and pass Sister Song's approval, I'll pay you for your writing."
The next day, Lin Yuyao and Song Qin went to the manufacturer to print sample copies of the second issue, which should be ready in about a week.
That day, Liu Yihuan came up to Lin Yuyao and said that she wanted to rent that house and asked her to act as a matchmaker.
Lin Yuyao said, "I've already spoken to the landlord, you can just give it to me directly."
"Okay, shall we sign a contract?"
"No need, I didn't sign any contracts after that."
"Okay, I'll just pay for six months' room."
Liu Yihuan generously gave her sixty yuan.
Lin Yuyao accepted it immediately and gave her the key on the spot.
"Sister Liu, you can move in anytime."
Knowing she wanted to rent it, she cleaned the room spotlessly.
"Row."
After living in this house for over twenty years, it's finally time to leave.
No, it should be said that I had no choice but to leave.
Liu Yihuan felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.
They were all children who grew up in this family, but she was much better than her younger brother.
