Chapter 255 Physical and Psychological Discomfort
He always felt that she was Wang Jianjun's wife, and he shouldn't act this way.
Fang Qing saw that his expression was increasingly hurt.
“Jiang Ting, you clearly came to this conclusion on your own the other day. I didn’t force you.”
Lu Jiangting frowned and lowered his head.
Yes, he figured it out himself.
He's going to get married anyway.
If it's not Yuyao, what difference does it make who I marry?
Marrying Fang Qing would allow me to raise Chenchen openly and legitimately, and take care of both of them, which is a pretty good outcome.
But when it came to having marital relations with Fang Qing, he felt both physically and mentally uncomfortable.
"I'm still injured, I don't have the mind for that."
He could only deal with this for now.
Fang Qing was furious inside, but on the surface she still pretended to be very understanding of him.
“I was overthinking it. You are still injured. Jiang Ting, I’ve made some soup in the pot. I’ll go get you a bowl. Drink it first.”
"No need, I'll go pick up Chenchen first and we'll eat together."
Wang Chenchen was playing with some other children downstairs. He went to pick her up and bring her back for dinner. After dinner, he had to leave again.
Fang Qing stopped him, "Are you going back to the dorm?"
Lu Jiangting: "I have to go to work tomorrow."
"But we're already married, so... please don't leave, stay."
Lu Jiangting looked at the small bed.
"Forget it, there's no room for me to stay."
Why is there no room left?
“If there’s enough room, the three of us can sleep together.” Then she added, “That’s how other couples do it.”
Lu Jiangting still refused, saying, "I'm injured. Let's talk about it in a few days."
He still insisted on leaving.
Seeing the door close, Fang Qing couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed the bowl on the table... thought for a moment, then put it back, replaced the chopsticks on the bowl, and angrily threw it on the ground.
Wang Chenchen stood to the side, looking at her with some fear.
Turning her head to look at her son, Fang Qing waved to him.
Wang Chenchen slowly moved closer to her, looking up uneasily.
"Chenchen, you have to remember, if your Uncle Lu wants to leave in the future, you have to find a way to keep him here."
"But...didn't you say Uncle Lu has to go to work and earn money for us?"
Fang Qing: "..."
"He works during the day, which doesn't prevent him from staying here at night."
Wang Chenchen nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
……
Fu Leyi gradually emerged from the shadow of being betrayed by her husband and the ensuing divorce. As her child grew older, she entrusted him to her mother and a nanny, and she would occasionally come out to check on her bookstore.
Seeing that she could still operate normally even after being away for so long, she felt relieved.
"Zhou Jing, you've done a great job. I'm very relieved to have you in charge of the bookstore."
Zhou Jing said modestly, "I'm barely managing to keep going. It's all thanks to the hard work of my sisters. We're all waiting for you to come back, boss."
Fu Leyi shook her head, smiled at the three of them, and said, "I won't be in charge of this shop anymore."
The smiles of the three people froze.
Zhou Jing asked, "Boss, are you not planning to keep this shop open?"
"No, keep it open. It's not a very big shop. You can manage it from now on. I have to go help my dad. He has a lot of things to do there."
Lin Yuyao had also heard Fu Huaiyi talk about her family's affairs.
There are quite a few companies and factories.
Judging from what she said, she seems to have decided to inherit the family business.
Before the incident with the Pan family, she had heard Fu Huaiyi say that his uncle originally intended to groom his son-in-law to succeed him.
In those days, many parents of only-child wealthy daughters chose to take in sons-in-law and groom them to succeed them. But this practice stopped a few decades later. It is said that this generation of sons-in-law narrowed their own paths and blocked their own.
One can imagine what would happen if the Pan family had actually succeeded in switching the children, or if Pan Hong had been even more outstanding and ambitious, and had truly taken over the Fu Leyi family business.
How miserable her future will be after her parents and grandfather pass away.
Fu Leyi came over to announce that Zhou Jing would be promoted directly to store manager, instead of acting store manager.
Secondly, they gave them another pay raise.
When Lin Yuyao first arrived, the price was eighty; now it has risen to one hundred.
China had already entered the early stage of rapid economic development, and by the 1990s it had officially entered a period of rapid development.
It looks like a lot now, but it won't be worth that much soon.
Therefore, once you've made money, you need to convert it into assets as quickly as possible.
While happy about the raise, Lin Yuyao also heard Liu Yihuan say that she had saved three thousand yuan.
Seeing that Lin Yuyao and Zhou Jing had both bought new houses, she also wanted to save money to buy a new house.
Zhou Jing was somewhat surprised, "Didn't your husband buy a house before we got married?"
"Sigh!" Liu Yihuan sighed and said, "That house was originally allocated to his aunt by her former work unit. It's very dilapidated, there's no kitchen, and you have to go to the public toilet, and you have to pay to use it each time. It's okay to live in that house temporarily, but who can stand living there long-term?"
Lin Yuyao and Zhou Jing looked at each other in bewilderment.
Before the wedding, they heard Liu Yihuan mention that the groom had prepared a wedding house, but she didn't say that the house was in such poor condition.
They got married during the Chinese New Year and even went on vacation to Hainan. They thought the groom's family was really well-off and that the wedding house they prepared would be just as nice. But they didn't expect it to be an old, dilapidated, second-hand house bought from a relative.
"So, to save money, do we have to try to avoid going on sex as much as possible?" Zhou Jing said speechlessly.
Liu Yihuan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Because she was right.
Once, when she was on her period, she went to the toilet several times and was scolded by her mother-in-law.
"Sigh! Luckily, I only stay there for a day during my vacation. I can't stand living there for an extended period of time."
“That’s right, you should still try to save money to buy a better house. If you get pregnant…” Zhou Jing paused halfway through her sentence.
Because Liu Yihuan had previously said that once she got pregnant, she would have to resign and go back to their marital home to rest during her pregnancy.
How can I have a safe pregnancy in that environment?
Liu Yihuan felt a headache just thinking about it.
Her in-laws are from the city, but their living conditions are worse than her parents' home in the suburbs.
But she couldn't stay at her parents' home for long.
Her parents had already told her that since her younger brother was single and hadn't gotten married, it was fine for her to stay at their house, since she had her own room anyway.
If her younger brother gets married, she, as the sister-in-law, won't be able to stay at her parents' home for long, otherwise her daughter-in-law will definitely have objections.
She also thought it made sense.
Put yourself in her shoes. Which daughter-in-law can stand her sister-in-law living at her parents' house for so long?
Liu Yihuan didn't dare to say that she was secretly taking birth control pills to avoid getting pregnant.
……
Fu Huaiyi returned from a mission that lasted nearly half a month, a few days longer than expected.
When Lin Yuyao saw him, she felt that he had become noticeably darker.
"Where did they go on a mission?"
Fu Huaiyi smiled and said, "I can't tell you that."
Okay, she won't ask anymore.
"By the way, how's the renovation of our wedding room going?"
The first thing he asked about upon returning was the wedding room.
"It's still early, we just finished the plumbing and electrical work."
"Huh? It took half a month to get the plumbing and electrical work done? Can it all be finished within a month?"
