Chapter 316 Lu Jiangting's Parents Arrive
Both jobs involve cleaning, but she'd much rather sweep the streets than work as a cleaner in a bookstore.
Street sweeping is the responsibility of the neighborhood committee. Lu Jiangting said that as long as you do a good job, you will receive a pension when you retire.
Today was the last day Lu Jiangting gave her; she hadn't found a suitable job yet.
Actually, it's not that you can't find work; there are jobs like serving dishes and washing dishes in restaurants.
She just complained that the pay was too low, the work was tiring and dirty, and there was no job security, so she didn't want to do it.
Finally, they agreed to Lu Jiangting's proposal.
"Then you should tell Uncle Wang that I'm willing to sweep the streets."
Lu Jiangting breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right. After three months, you'll be promoted to a permanent employee, and your salary will increase to sixty. Although we're both cleaners, this is much better than being a cleaner for a private boss."
The important thing is that he had inquired about Fang Qing's job; she usually cleans up at night when there are fewer people around.
It will be either very early or very late, so as not to interfere with her daytime.
His parents are old; one has cancer, and the other has poor eyesight. They can't be home alone during the day.
Nothing happened at night. My parents were sleeping at night, so what could possibly happen?
If all else fails, he can come back.
Fang Qing nodded. "You're right, that makes sense. At the very least, it's a secure job."
Lu Jiangting looked around the room and noticed that much of the stuff was missing.
"They've all been moved over?"
"Yes, I've been moving a little bit these past few days since I've had some free time."
Seeing how much she had done, Lu Jiangting didn't forget to say a few words of comfort, "Fang Qing, I've been quite busy lately, thank you for your hard work."
"Why are we talking about this as a family? Whoever has time should do it."
Seeing how sensible she was, Lu Jiangting nodded repeatedly, "Yes, now that we're married, we won't distinguish between yours and mine. Don't worry, I'll give you all my money when I get paid in a few days."
It was hard work, but his words, "It's all the same to you and me," made Fang Qing very happy.
She felt that Lu Jiangting was gradually accepting her.
I told you, people's hearts are made of flesh and blood, how could they not be warmed up?
Lu Jiangting is a sentimental person, and he saw how much she had sacrificed.
After all these years of hard work, he will make it up to him by sending his parents away.
Fang Qing said a bunch of sweet things to coax him.
Lu Jiangting was so moved that he said things like husband and wife are one, sharing joys and sorrows.
Both of them were very happy.
……
Lu Cong and Wang Cuilan still came; Lin Yuyao already knew about this.
Three days earlier, on the day they boarded the train, Ye Lian had called Lin Yuyao to tell her.
They said they were going to Nancheng for medical treatment and specifically reminded her not to lend them money.
Cancer is incurable; it's a bottomless pit.
Lending it out is like throwing money down the drain.
The whole family lives on Lu Jiangting's meager salary. Money is needed everywhere in the city, and who knows when they'll be able to make ends meet again.
Lin Yuyao wasn't stupid, so of course she wouldn't lend it.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Fang Qing and Lu Cong while picking up the electric fan at her new house today.
"Yuyao?"
She didn't want to pay attention to them at first, but Lu Cong called her back.
Lin Yuyao smiled faintly, "Uncle Lu, are you coming over to play?"
"No, we...sigh! I'm sick, we've come here for treatment."
"Oh, then take good care of yourself. The hospitals here are better than those back home. I'll be leaving now if there's nothing else."
With people coming and going on the street, as a well-mannered young woman, even if the two families had a very awkward falling out, she could still save face.
After saying that, she ran away as fast as she could, afraid that they would ask her for money.
The family of three consisted of Fang Qing carrying the luggage, Wang Cuilan (whose eyesight was poor) supporting Lu Cong, and also using Lu Cong as her eyes, so that she could only watch helplessly as Lin Yuyao ran away, unable to catch up.
Seeing her enter such a nice residential area, Lu Cong asked Fang Qing curiously, "Does she live here?"
Fang Qing felt uneasy when she talked about it.
I should have known they bought their wedding home here.
"Yes, the wedding house that the Fu family bought for us is here."
"The wedding room?"
"Yes, families with good financial conditions usually buy a new house for their sons when they get married."
As she spoke, she looked at the dilapidated neighborhood next door and said, "Let's go, we'll stay here."
She deliberately emphasized the words.
Lu Cong wasn't stupid; he naturally heard the resentment in her words.
"What? You think Jiang Ting can't afford to buy you a new house?"
Fang Qing: "..."
"Hmph, you don't even know your own situation. You're a widow with a child in tow. It's a miracle that you even came to Jiang Ting's house. You must have accumulated good karma for eight lifetimes to get this."
Fang Qing was almost amused by the situation, but thinking that the old man had cancer and didn't have many days left to live, she held back.
“Father is right, I am indeed not good enough for Jiang Ting. Let’s go, I’ll take you to your lodgings.”
The house over there has already been returned; this house was applied for and is free.
Lu Jiangting's situation was special, so he took the initiative to take care of the widows and orphans of his comrades.
After Lao Wang embellished the story with his pen, the friendship between him and Wang Jianjun was written in a way that moved listeners to tears.
After Comrade Wang Jianjun sacrificed his life, Lu Jiangting stepped forward without hesitation to take care of his wife and children.
As for how to take care of things in bed?
People say that orphans and widows are easily bullied, and if he took care of them privately, it would easily attract gossip. So he had no choice but to marry Fang Qing, so that it would be more convenient to take care of them that way.
Old Wang is a skilled writer; he portrayed Lu Jiangting as a man of great righteousness.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiangting's father was diagnosed with cancer.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on, and the child wants to support but the kiss does not wait.
Even though his father has cancer, he wants to prolong his life as much as possible, which is why he brought him here to take care of him.
Such a virtuous person, if his family is experiencing financial difficulties, it would be no problem to help him with his housing issue.
So, they got a free house.
It's normal for houses that are about to be demolished to be in a rather dilapidated state.
Lu Cong complained the whole way, but when he saw the house, which was as small as a pigsty, he completely broke down.
"This house isn't even as big as my pigsty. You mean we're going to live here from now on?"
Fang Qing said, "Dad, houses in the city are all small, so naturally they can't compare to those in the countryside."
"Wasn't the place you rented before quite big?"
Fang Qing: "..."
“I rented that house myself, it costs twenty yuan a month. This house was found for me by Jiang Ting, it's free. Things are different now than before, you need money for medical treatment, so you have to be careful.”
Hearing that it was free, I thought the house was alright.
"You really don't need money?"
"Yes, it's free."
"That's pretty much it."
They were tired from their journey, and after asking Fang Qing where she was sleeping, they lay down on the bed without even taking off their clothes and shoes.
Fang Qing frowned as she looked at him. "Dad, take off your shoes."
"It's okay, I put it outside, I won't put it under the covers."
Does that mean you won't take your clothes off unless you put them under the covers?
Is it difficult to take off your shoes?
Fang Qing was truly impressed.
