Chapter 352 Feeling like I've been tricked, but refusing to believe it.
However, I still managed to finish all the egg noodles.
After tidying up the kitchen, I returned to the bedroom, where Lu Jiangting was already fast asleep.
He placed Wang Chenchen in the middle, leaving her on the other side, clearly separating them.
Fang Qing was heartbroken, but thinking that she had earned this day herself, she suppressed her dissatisfaction.
She was confident in herself and believed that this was only temporary.
After all, none of the decisions she made from childhood to adulthood were wrong.
If she hadn't made that decisive move back then, she would probably still be toiling away on some mountaintop, endlessly bearing children and doing endless work.
After taking care of the children and her in-laws, she also had to take care of her dirty, smelly husband who came back from the mountains. There was no hope for her life.
She's having a tough time right now, but it's only temporary.
The old man's illness is going to get better? Bah, no way.
She has already figured out a way to deal with him.
"Jiang Ting".
She had slept for several hours, but now she couldn't fall asleep, so she quietly woke Lu Jiangting up.
Lu Jiangting turned over, facing the wall with his back to her, and said, "We can talk about it tomorrow."
Are you going to talk about it tomorrow?
Will he stay when she goes to work?
I don't know how many days it will be before I come back next time.
When do you get paid?
"It'll be in the next few days. I'll get it back after I send it out."
"Okay, we're out of money at home. You have to bring your salary back when you get paid."
Lu Jiangting was taken aback. He recalled that Lin Yuyao now lived in a big house, and the Fu family even gave her money to open a magazine for fun. He felt a mix of emotions.
She's living a good life now, like a rich wife, while I'm still worrying about money every day.
I earn a lot of money each month, but I have to support so many people, and my parents are in poor health. The pressure is enormous.
"I gave you all the money from last month, and it's all gone already?"
Fang Qing felt a wave of unease.
They said it was last month, and what they gave us was money, not a lump of gold. How could we not spend it all?
“Now that we’ve moved here, there are two more people in our family, and we need to buy a lot of things, which will cost money. With two more people, there are two more mouths to feed, which will also cost money. Besides, Dad is sick, and his medical expenses will also cost money. You only gave us two hundred yuan, which is not enough. I’ve even put a lot of money into it myself.”
"Isn't Dad's medical expenses covered by insurance?"
"Some of it can be reimbursed, but not all of it. You still have to spend the money yourself."
"Is it really possible to spend that much?"
Fang Qing was speechless. "He has cancer, and that disease is bound to cost a lot of money. The bills are in the pocket hanging by the door. If you don't believe me, go see for yourself."
Hearing her say that, Lu Jiangting had nothing more to say.
"Okay, I've got it. But it's really not enough, so you can use Chenchen's child support to cover it for now."
"Chenchen's child support payment is due after your salary, there are still many days to go. Jiang Ting, once you get your salary, you must get it back as soon as possible, otherwise you won't even have money to buy rice."
Lu Jiangting: "..."
It's so annoying, all I do is worry about is money.
She still complains that a month's salary isn't enough. I used to only give her fifty yuan, and she never made such a fuss then.
"Money, money, money, all you care about is money. We've given you all the money, what more do you want? The family is in trouble now, can't you see that?"
Fang Qing: "..."
"What do you mean? Do you think I spent too much? I'm keeping track of the expenses. Do you want to check who actually spent the money?"
As she spoke, Fang Qing reached out and took out an account book from the bedside table, then touched a flashlight.
She felt wronged, and her voice became louder.
"Get up! Get up and look!"
Lu Jiangting was forcibly pulled up by her.
Seeing her like this, Lu Jiangting said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, don't wake Chenchen up, he has to go to school tomorrow."
Fang Qing was so angry that her face turned red. He still had the nerve to tell her to speak more quietly.
Fang Qing clenched her fists to suppress her anger.
Lu Jiangting shone a flashlight on the ledger, which contained only miscellaneous expenses.
How much to buy vegetables, how much to buy rice and oil, how much to buy a gas cylinder...
The bulk of the expense is indeed in medical costs.
Even though they reimbursed a lot of expenses, I still spent so much money.
It seems that the bulk of the money is indeed going towards his father's medical expenses.
Lu Jiangting's tone softened.
"Fang Qing, I know the family's expenses are high right now, but I have no choice. All I can say is that I've given you everything I can. The family is facing difficulties now, what can we do? We can only work harder as a family, face the difficulties together, and get through this tough time, right?"
Fang Qing was filled with resentment. She thought that the logic was correct, but she felt that it was not the whole family suffering together, but that she was the only one suffering.
Lu Jiangting continued, "Think back to the past. When have you ever said you were in trouble and I didn't help? I was worried that you and Chenchen weren't doing well, so I gave you fifty yuan a month. I've never given that much money to my parents. Yuyao has been arguing with me about this, but I still firmly support you and Chenchen, haven't I?"
Fang Qing: "..." After thinking about it carefully, that makes sense.
"Back then, my parents were healthy, so naturally I took care of you and Chenchen. But now my parents are old, their health is failing, and my father has been diagnosed with cancer. Don't be fooled by his improved appearance lately; everyone knows it's an incurable disease."
You say if I don't treat them well now, when will I? I know you're feeling wronged, I remember that, but we'll overcome these difficulties together. Think about it carefully, doesn't that make sense?
Life is tough now, especially after Lu Jiangting's parents came.
But Fang Qing thought about the care Lu Jiangting had shown her and Chenchen in the past, and that care was real and tangible.
She could sense that Lu Jiangting had changed. Every time he came back, she saw him with a frown, especially this time.
I thought to myself, it's probably because his father has cancer that he's feeling sad and upset.
Ok.
Thinking of the care he had shown her and her son, and then thinking of the good life that would be left for the three of them after these two old men passed away, she decided to endure it.
“Jiang Ting, I understand what you’re saying. Sometimes I’m just too tired, plus I’m broke and worried about basic necessities, so I can’t help but get a little anxious.”
"I understand. I'm anxious too if I don't have the money. Don't worry, I'll take it back as soon as I get paid."
"it is good."
"Go to sleep, it's getting late."
Sleep? When does she have time to sleep?
I can only get two or three hours of sleep before I have to go to work.
Before, when she saw him sleeping across from her, she would think about how they could consummate their marriage. Now, she's too tired to even have those thoughts anymore.
As she thought about it, Fang Qing laughed in anger.
……
Lin Yuyao had no idea that Lu Jiangting had been squatting downstairs last night; she thought Fu Huaiyi had really gone to buy soda.
It was too late, and he went downstairs but couldn't buy anything.
She remembered this, and when she came back today, she made a special trip to buy a case of orange juice with pulp, a case of cola, and a case of coconut juice.
