Hearing what they said, Lu Jiangting softened his heart again, "I'll go talk to Fang Qing tomorrow morning and try to convince her to return the money to you."

Wang Jianguo: "What if she doesn't give it to me?"

"She won't give it to me..." What can I do if she doesn't give it to me?

If Lu Jiangting could do something to Fang Qing, he wouldn't be so angry.

"Brother Jiang Ting, I...I have something to tell you."

Um?

Lu Jiangting: "Go ahead."

Wang Jianguo looked at Wang Zhong, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

This is where his brilliance lies. He was clearly guarding against Lu Cong, but he was actually looking at Wang Zhong.

Lu Jiangting: “…” What is it that Wang Zhong can’t know?

Wang Zhong is not a responsible father, he is a "stepfather", Lu Jiangting had heard this from Wang Jianjun a long time ago.

"I have to go out and do some shopping. Let's talk on the way."

"good."

Lu Cong: "Hey, Jiang Ting..."

Lu Jiangting: "Dad, it's okay, I'll be back soon."

Lu Cong had a bad feeling. What did these two people want to do?

The little one's eyes are rolling around, he doesn't look like a good person.

After they got outside, Lu Jiangting asked, "Jianguo, is there anything you want to tell me alone?"

"Alas!" Wang Jianguo sighed and said, "Brother Jiang Ting, to be honest, I can't make it in my hometown any longer. I want to find a way to make a living outside."

Lu Jiangting was stunned, "Why can't we live like this anymore?"

Wang Jianguo lowered his head and hesitated for a while before saying, "I have a brother. You've heard of him, right?"

"Yes, your mother brought it here."

"Yes, since we were young, my brother and I have never had a good relationship with him. Our surnames are Wang and his are Liu. He has never considered us his brothers."

Lu Jiangting vaguely heard Wang Jianjun talk about this.

"He hates us. My father raised him, but in his eyes, he is an old thief who took his mother away. My brother is the old thief's child, and I am the bastard born after my father took my mother away."

Lu Jiangting: “…”

"He hated all of us, so he left when he grew up and became a live-in son-in-law for someone else. It's impossible for him to provide for my parents in their old age."

Lu Jiangting: "But I remember Jianjun said that your father treated your brother better than Jianjun."

Wang Jianguo: “…”

He didn't expect that Wang Jianjun had actually told Lu Jiangting all this.

"Yes, when he was a child, my dad was really good to him, even better than to my brother. People say it's hard to be a stepfather, and my dad was afraid of being gossiped about, so he had to treat him better. But it's a pity that people still hate us. We all have the surname Wang, but he has the surname Liu, so we can never tame him no matter how hard we try."

Lu Jiangting nodded, indicating that he understood and at the same time felt a sense of pleasure.

He wanted to tell Jianjun, you see, your father is so kind to his adopted son, but in his eyes, he is just an old thief.

You deserve it.

Wang Jianguo sighed and said, "My brother passed away, and now I am the only son left by my parents. I have to support them both, as well as my wife, and I have two other children. They are twins and will go to primary school next year. I have to pay double for everything. Everything costs money."

Lu Jiangting expressed his understanding, "It is indeed a real expense."

"You can't make money guarding the mountains. You can't even earn enough for the children's tuition and living expenses. Many people in our village have gone out to work. I thought, while my parents are still young and can help with housework and take care of the children, I should also go out to work."

Lu Jiangting: "You also want to work out?"

"Yes, I want to work and earn money for my children's education and to provide for my parents in the future."

Lu Jiangting himself is a filial person. He feels that although Wang Zhong is a good-for-nothing, Wang Jianguo is a good person because he is filial.

"You want me to help you find a job?"

"Yes, it is said that people can earn more in big cities. Brother Jiang Ting, can you help me?"

Lu Jiangting frowned.

Wang Jianguo added, "Or we can tell the organization about our difficulties and see if they can help us. If my brother were still alive, the burden of caring for him wouldn't be on me alone. I'm really afraid that something bad will happen to my parents, and I won't be able to take care of this family anymore."

If it were Lu Jiangting in his early years, he would have felt more sympathy for him.

But after what happened with Fang Qing, he became a lot smarter.

"Jianguo, I remember that uncle and auntie received maintenance money every month. Even though auntie is not Jianjun's biological mother, the organization has not let her down."

At that time, he was still angry about this matter. If he had just given Chenchen child support, it would have been fine. Why did the two old guys also get some?

But that's the rule, underage children and elderly parents can all get money.

Wang Jianguo said: "Yes, there is some, but according to the rural standards, the total amount for two people is less than 50 yuan a month, which is not enough."

Lu Jiangting: “…” So little?

Wang Jianguo observed Lu Jiangting's expression and saw that he was hesitating. He whispered again, "The ones who will have good development in the future will definitely be big cities. The brave people in our village have made a fortune in big cities. Anyway, it's better than chasing rabbits in the mountains. I can't think about myself, I have to think about my two children too.

Even if I don't leave the mountains, my children will leave the mountains in the future. They can't stay in the mountains forever. I'll go out first and help them find the way, so it will be convenient for them to get out in the future. My son also said that he wants to be a useful person to the country like his uncle in the future. "

This was the final word, and he clearly saw Lu Jiangting's expression change.

After that, he quickly took out the photo and showed it to Lu Jiangting, "Brother Jiangting, look, this is my son and my daughter. Doesn't my son look a lot like my brother?"

I have to say that their family has strong genes. They all have the same face passed down from the old man, and you can always see some similarities.

Perhaps it was this face that had a vitality that Wang Jianjun had never had before. Lu Jiangting seemed to see what Wang Jianjun, who grew up under the love of his parents, should look like, and he was also shaken.

Even though he knew that his life was difficult, he still wanted to help this young man.

Maybe he will live a good life in the future, just like seeing Wang Jianjun living a good life when he was still alive.

"Jianguo, what is your educational background?"

"I graduated from junior high school." He scratched his head and said, "My brother told me to study hard, but I'm not as smart as him, so I never got into high school."

Lu Jiangting nodded, patted his shoulder and said, "Not bad, in your mountain school, only the one or two with the best grades can go to high school."

Wang Jianguo: "Yes, the school in our mountain area was too bad. No one in my class was admitted to high school."

He didn't tell Lu Jiangting that after his parents saw that Wang Jianjun's life was getting better and better through studying, they began to urge him to study hard.

I spent a lot of money to get him into a good junior high school in the county. He didn't go to the poor school in the mountains at all.

"Okay, I understand your situation. I'll see if I can help you find a good job later."
