Chapter 136 Fang Qing dared not go out and survived by collecting vegetable scraps at night.
"It's true she's a widow, but she's a young widow, a respectable woman. How could that man be so heartless? He used her and then dumped her, even causing her to lose her job. He just packed his bags and left, but how are this widow and her child supposed to survive?"
Old Wang was completely confused.
"Where did she get a boyfriend? You must have made a mistake."
"No way, I live right across the street from them, how could I be wrong? Before they do that in their house, they always have to bring their child to my house first. I can hear the sounds of them doing that very clearly, how could I be wrong? If he's not her boyfriend, would the two of them do that in broad daylight?"
Old Wang felt like the sky had fallen.
The person lives right across from Fang Qing and even helped her take care of her child while they were doing "that." You could even hear their voices. It must be firsthand information, not just a rumor, right?
Good heavens, this is not the Fang Qing he remembers.
"Big sister, is what you said true?" Just to be on the safe side, he asked one more question.
The older woman seemed a little guilty, but only slightly.
But all that bragging was just her boasting. She certainly couldn't admit to bluffing in front of her group of girlfriends.
He patted his chest and said, "Of course, everything I said is true."
Lao Wang: "..."
Oh my god, really?
"Do you know what her boyfriend's name is?"
"I don't know his name, but her son calls that man Uncle Lu."
Uncle Lu?
"What?" Old Wang's eyes widened like copper bells, and his voice changed in surprise.
"you sure?"
The older woman was startled by his appearance, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, I'm sure. If you don't believe me, ask them; they all know."
Old Wang looked at the other people.
The others nodded in agreement.
"It's true. That man surnamed Lu comes here often. Sometimes he stays overnight, and sometimes he leaves as soon as it gets dark."
“I felt that the man was very good to the child. He would always bring him something, and the child liked him very much. Before I knew Fang Qing was a widow, I thought they were a family of three.”
"Yes, I only found out he was Fang Qing's boyfriend because I heard the child call the man 'uncle'."
Old Wang: "Could you be mistaken? That Mr. Lu... he's just a friend of theirs."
"That won't do. What friend would stay overnight at their house?"
"Well... Chenchen is sick, and people are worried that Fang Qing can't handle it alone."
"That's not right either. Even if Chenchen isn't sick, he would still stay here overnight."
Old Wang: "What? He spent the night here even when he wasn't sick?"
The other person nodded affirmatively, "Yes, even if you're not sick, you can stay overnight."
"Are you sure?" Old Wang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The main reason is that this is completely different from what he heard from Lu Jiangting, which is unbelievable to him.
How could Lu Jiangting dare to lie to him?
Didn't he say that there was nothing between them?
Didn't he say that his care for Fang Qing and her son was entirely because of Wang Jianjun?
How is this going?
“I’m sure, I can even tell you the date he stayed overnight.” And she actually did say a date.
Old Wang silently wrote down the date. He only needed to check later to see if Lu Jiangting had returned to the army that day, and he would know who was lying.
Since he was already there, he inquired about a few more things.
I've heard quite a few outrageous and absurd things.
There were stories like Lu Jiangting running away with his pants up, and Fang Qing chasing after him, her clothes buttoned up incorrectly.
What are these?
He found it outrageous, but looking at their eyes, they seemed to have witnessed it with their own eyes, and they didn't seem to be lying, which confused him.
He silently thought that if this were true, Lu Jiangting would be guilty of a serious violation of discipline.
Dating without the intention of marriage is just playing around. You little rascal, you dare to play around like that?
Hooliganism, punishable by death.
The only way to resolve this situation is for the two of them to get married.
The one who doesn't want to get married will be shot.
After thinking it over, Lao Wang felt that the problem lay more with the man.
There's always gossip around a widow's house. He's a grown man, always coming here, and he doesn't even know his place, staying overnight. It's no wonder people are talking about him.
He himself went to hide in the army, but Fang Qing is in a terrible situation. Lu Jiangting is 80% responsible for what happened.
Thinking of this, Old Wang looked up at Fang Qing's house, thanked the aunties, and went straight upstairs.
Fang Qing had anticipated his arrival.
"Uncle Wang, I'm so sorry to trouble you again."
"No trouble at all. When something goes wrong, it has to be dealt with. I've already gotten a quick look at your situation downstairs. Well... Lu Jiangting is more responsible for this."
"This...it's not her fault. If anyone's to blame, it's me for being useless." Fang Qing started sobbing again.
This left Old Wang at a loss for what to do.
Old Wang looked down and saw half-cut rotten vegetable leaves on the ground.
"Why would you buy something that's so bad?"
The little child next to him said, "We didn't buy it; my mom and I picked it up."
what?
Picked it up?
Old Wang was shocked. "You picked them up? This... Even if you lost your job, you still get subsidies. You don't have to live by picking up vegetable scraps, do you?"
Besides, he doesn't remember losing his job for more than a few days, does he?
"We picked them up at night because..."
Before the child could finish speaking, Fang Qing immediately covered his mouth.
Fang Qing said to Lao Wang, "No, no, it's just that I thought these vegetable leaves were pretty good and it would be a waste to throw them away, so I ate them."
Old Wang frowned and pulled Wang Chenchen out of Fang Qing's arms.
"Chenchen, right? Tell your uncle... tell your grandpa, why did you go to pick them up at night?"
"Because we dare not go out during the day."
Lao Wang: "..."
Afraid to go out during the day?
Could it be because of those words that she dares not go out during the day and can only take the child out at night?
But there are no vegetable vendors when I go out at night, so I can only pick up rotten vegetable leaves that other people don't want.
How could this person live such a miserable life?
When Old Wang left, his brows were deeply furrowed and his face was as dark as could be.
……
When Lu Jiangting returned from a mission a few days later, the sky had fallen.
He stood in Lao Wang's office and was scolded by Lao Wang for more than half an hour.
His face was deathly pale, and sweat was pouring down his forehead.
It's almost winter, yet he's still so hot.
"Hmph, what else do you have to say?"
"Absolutely not. I don't know why they're spreading this rumor, but I really haven't done anything with Fang Qing."
"Hmph." Old Wang snorted coldly, slammed his hand on the table, and said, "You think you can fool me with that?"
Lu Jiangting, his face pale, said, "I wouldn't dare. Everything I said is true."
"Fine, fine, still stubborn as a mule, huh? Let me ask you, apart from the two days when Wang Chenchen was sick, did you stay overnight at Fang Qing's house?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
