At that time he secretly swore that after Wang Jianjun died, he would take care of them in his place and would never let them suffer any injustice because of Wang Jianjun's death.

"How can I help you? I don't have any vacation time this year. It's so far away. I can only do my best."

"I know. I know that telling you these things will make you feel awkward. But I...but I have no other choice."

"Don't be impatient, sister-in-law. Tell me what you want me to do first."

Fang Qing was a little dazed when she heard the word "sister-in-law".

She thought for a moment and whispered, "Can I ask your parents to help me take care of Chenchen when he's on holiday?"

Lu Jiangting was stunned, "Let my parents help Chenchen?"

"Yes, I know this will trouble uncle and aunt, but I don't want Chenchen to watch in the store."

Fang Qing kept sobbing as she spoke. "Just think about it. He is still so young, and he has to watch his mother wash and cut hair for others to make a living and... get bullied. He is young now and doesn't understand, but he will grow up."

Lu Jiangting took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the phone.

Fang Qing added, "Although he has his own grandparents, you've heard the saying that when people are gone, the tea gets cold. Without Jianjun in the middle, his grandparents are just a layer away from him. I asked his grandmother to help take care of him for a while, but she said she had to take care of his cousin and didn't have time."

Lu Jiangting listened quietly, his lips pursed into a straight line.

He felt that Comrade Wang Jianjun's wife and children should not be bullied like this.

He also wouldn't allow others to bully them and make her life so difficult.

"Okay, I'll help you solve it. Before the matter is resolved, if it really can't be done...if it really can't be done, you can close the business for a few days and reopen it after I have dealt with it."

"Okay, Jiang Ting, I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble again."

"It's okay. This is as it should be."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiangting thought about it and called home again.

There was a telephone in the village brigade office, but the phone in their village could not make such long distance calls. They could only call the city and then ask someone to call back to the brigade to inform his father.

When Lu Jiangting's father knew that he had a phone, he immediately rode his bike to the city.

"Hey, Jiang Ting."

"It's me, Dad. Are you free now?"

"I'm free, what's up?"

"Well, my friend's wife and children..."

He told Lu Cong about Fang Qing, but did not mention that Fang Qing was bullied.

She just said that she was busy with business on the weekend and couldn't see Wang Chen.

I hope they can bring Wang Chen to their home on the weekend and not disturb Fang Qing’s business.

When summer vacation comes, I will ask them to help take care of the children.

But Lu Cong thought about him and Lin Yuyao. The Lin family was already unhappy with them for interfering in Fang Qing's affairs, and now they had to help take care of their child. He didn't know what the Lin family would say.

"Isn't this bad? I don't know what your father-in-law will say. Jiang Ting, have you discussed these decisions with Yu Yao? You are married now, you can't make all the decisions by yourself, you have to ask your wife's opinion and consider her more."

Still asking for opinions?

She doesn't even want to talk to me anymore.

Lu Jiangting felt upset whenever he thought about these things.

Lu Jiangting held back and said nothing, "I asked you and mother to help because I was thinking about them. Think about it, if you don't help, I will have to step in, and Yuyao will be even more unhappy."

Lu Cong: “…”

"Dad, you know about Jianjun and I. If I don't help them, am I still a human being?"

Hearing what he said, Lu Cong let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, but after thinking about it, I decided not to bring him to the village, in case your father-in-law is unhappy when he sees him.

I'll let your mother go to her store to help out this weekend. She'll help Fang Qing take care of Chen Chen, so Fang Qing's business won't be affected."

Um?

When Lu Jiangting heard this, he thought this was a good idea.

People harassed Fang Qing because they thought she had no man and no family.

If my mother were to keep an eye on her, maybe I could prevent her from being bullied.

"Okay, Dad, thank you then."

"Hey, why are you telling this to your father? You're fine. Living a good life with Yuyao is better than anything else."

"well……"

Live a good life?

He wants to too.

Unfortunately, Yuyao...

"Jiang Ting, have you finished your call?"

"We're done."

"Come over here as soon as you're done. The data here is wrong. Go check what's wrong."

He has been very busy lately.

While I was making a phone call, my leader called me several times.

Just when he was about to finish his work, he was tasked with installing military communications in the next city.

No, shouldn't Fu Huaiyi take on this task?

"Leader, I remember that Fu Huaiyi is in charge of this area."

"Well, he can't go recently."

"Why?"

"He has the flu. This morning his fever was 39. He almost became an idiot. I gave him the day off."

Lu Jiangting: “…” What?

"You have a pretty good relationship with him, don't you know?"

The corner of Lu Jiangting's mouth twitched, "I've been very busy recently, I didn't pay attention."

"That's right, it will be fine after this period of busy work." The leader patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. There will be a bonus if you complete the task well. Work hard."

Thinking of the bonus, Lu Jiangting took the offer reluctantly.

He thought that if Yu Yao tightened her salary in the future, he would have to rely on bonuses to secretly support Fang Qing and her son.

…

It was Lin Yuyao's turn to be on duty tonight, and she was the last one to leave the bookstore.

As soon as I closed the door of the bookstore, I saw Fu Huaiyi standing under the street light at the intersection with a bag of medicine.

Lin Yuyao hurried over to him, "Brother Fu, why are you here? What's wrong with you?"

Fu Huaiyi wore a mask, coughed twice and said, "Nothing, just a cold."

Um?

He looks so healthy, how could he catch a cold?

"Is it serious? What did the doctor say?"

"It's okay. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

"So what are you now...?"

Fu Huaiyi pointed to the clinic across the street and said, "I just finished getting an IV there and am about to take a bus back."

Lin Yuyao found this a little strange, "Don't you have a military doctor?"

Why are you hanging water here?

"Ahem, military doctors are not good at this. The old Chinese doctor across the street is pretty good. I can get better with his medicine."

So that's how it is.

Lin Yuyao looked around and said, "I'm afraid there are no buses going back now."

"Ah? No more?"

"Yes, look at the sign. The last bus has already left."

After Fu Huaiyi saw it, he looked embarrassed.

Lin Yuyao looked at her broken bicycle and also had an embarrassed expression.

She bought this bike at a second-hand market. It was an old and shabby bicycle. She spent fifty dollars on it after haggling for a long time.

I don't know if it can carry two people.

She couldn't just ignore the fact that he was helping her so much, and he was also sick.

After some hesitation, Lin Yuyao finally invited him.

"Brother Fu, let me take you there."
