"She is a widow, but she is also a young widow, a decent woman. How could that man be so heartless? He took advantage of her and abandoned her, and even caused her to lose her job. He walked away, but how can this widow and orphan survive?"

Old Wang was confused by what he heard.

"Where did she get her boyfriend? Are you mistaken?"

"No, I live across the street from them, how could I be wrong? Before they do that in the house, they have to send their kids to my house first. I can hear the sound of them doing that clearly, how could I be wrong? If he is not her partner, how could they do that in broad daylight?"

Lao Wang felt like the sky was falling.

She lives across the street from Fang Qing and was babysitting her children when they were doing that. She could even hear the noises. This must be first-hand information and not just a rumor, right?

My God, this is different from the impression he had of Fang Qing.

"Sister, is what you said true?" To be on the safe side, he asked one more question.

The lady felt a little guilty, but only a little.

But she was the one who boasted about it. She certainly couldn't say she was just bragging in front of a bunch of old sisters.

Then he patted his chest and said, "Of course, everything I said is true."

Lao Wang: “…”

Oh my god, really?

"Then do you know her boyfriend's name?"

"I don't know her name, but her son calls that guy Uncle Lu."

Uncle Lu?

"What?" Lao Wang's eyes widened like bells and his voice changed in shock.

"Are you sure?"

The mother was frightened by his appearance, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, I am sure. If you don't believe me, ask them, they know it all."

Lao Wang looked at the other people.

Those people also nodded.

"It's true. The man surnamed Lu comes here often. Sometimes he stays overnight, and sometimes he leaves at dusk."

"I felt that the man was very good to the child. He would always bring something for him, 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 also heard the child call that guy uncle, and then I knew he was Fang Qing's boyfriend."

Lao Wang: "Could it be that you are mistaken? The person surnamed Lu... Lu is just a friend of their family?"

"That's not enough. Which friend can stay overnight at their house?"

"This... Isn't it that Chenchen is sick? I'm worried that Fang Qing can't handle it alone."

"That's not right. Even if Chenchen wasn't sick, he would have stayed here overnight."

Lao Wang: "What? He spent the night here even though he wasn't sick?"

The other party nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I will stay overnight even if I am not sick."

"Are you sure?" Lao Wang's eyes almost popped out.

The main thing is that this is completely different from what he heard from Lu Jiangting, and it is too unbelievable for him.

How dare Lu Jiangting lie to him?

Didn't he say they had nothing?

Didn’t he say that his care for Fang Qing and her son was entirely because of Wang Jianjun?

What is going on?

"I'm sure I can even tell you the date he's staying." And she actually gave a date.

Lao Wang silently noted down this date. He would check later whether Lu Jiangting returned to the unit that day and he would know who was lying.

Now that he was here, he asked about some things.

There are many things I have heard that are very beastly and outrageous.

Something like Lu Jiangting ran away with his trousers lifted up, and when Fang Qing chased him out, the buttons of his clothes were all buttoned incorrectly.

What is this?

He thought it was outrageous, but looking at their eyes, they looked as if they had seen it with their own eyes and they didn't seem to be lying, which made him confused.

I just thought silently that if this was true, Lu Jiangting would be considered to have seriously violated the rules.

Any relationship that is not aimed at marriage is hooliganism. Boy, how dare you be a hooligan?

Hooliganism, shooting.

This situation can only be resolved if they get married.

Whichever of them doesn't want to get married will be shot.

Lao Wang thought about it and felt that the man had more problems.

There are always gossips around a widow. He is a grown man, but he always comes here and even stays here without any sense of propriety. It would be strange if people didn't gossip about him.

He himself hid in the army, but Fang Qing was in trouble. Lu Jiangting should bear 80% of the responsibility for this situation.

Thinking of this, Old Wang looked up at Fang Qing's house, thanked the aunts, and went straight upstairs.

Fang Qing had expected his arrival.

"Uncle Wang, I'm so sorry to bother you again."

"It's not a problem. If something goes wrong, it has to be solved. I've already taken a brief look at your situation downstairs. In this case... Lu Jiangting is more responsible."

"This...is not her fault. It's useless to blame anyone, it's me." Fang Qing started smoking again.

This left Lao Wang at a loss for a moment.

When Lao Wang lowered his head, he saw the half-picked rotten vegetable leaves on the ground.

"This... why did you buy it when it's so bad?"

The child next to him said, "We didn't buy it. My mother and I picked it up."

ah?

Picked up?

Lao Wang was shocked. "Picked it up? This... Even if you lose your job, you still get a subsidy. You don't have to rely on picking up vegetable leaves to make a living, right?"

Besides, he remembers that he hasn’t missed a few days at work, right?

"We picked them up at night because..."

Before the child could finish speaking, Fang Qing covered his mouth.

Fang Qing said to Lao Wang, "No, that's not true. I just thought these leaves were good and it would be a pity to throw them away, so I ate them."

Old Wang frowned and pulled Wang Chenchen out of Fang Qing's arms.

"Chenchen, right? Tell uncle... Tell grandpa why you have to pick it up at night?"

"Because we dare not go out during the day."

Lao Wang: “…”

Don’t dare to go out during the day?

Could it be that because of what he heard, he dared not go out during the day and could only go out with the children at night?

But when I go out at night, there are no vegetable sellers around, so I can only pick up some rotten vegetable leaves that others don't want?

How could this person have such a miserable life?

When Lao Wang left, his brows were deeply furrowed and his face couldn't be darker.

…

When Lu Jiangting came back from a mission a few days ago, the sky was falling.

He stood in Lao Wang's office and was scolded by Lao Wang for more than half an hour.

His face was pale and sweat was beading on his forehead.

It's almost winter, yet it's so hot.

"Hmph, what else do you have to say?"

"That's not true. I don't know why they spread it like that, but Fang Qing and I really didn't do anything."

"Humph." Lao Wang snorted coldly, slapped his hand on the table, and said, "Do you still want to fool me with this sentence?"

Lu Jiangting said with a pale face: "I dare not, everything I said is true."

"Okay, okay, you're still being stubborn, aren't you? Let me ask you, apart from the two days when Wang Chenchen was sick, have you ever stayed at Fang Qing's house before?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."
