"What's wrong?"

Ye Lian: "Why are you suddenly concerned about him? No matter what disease he has, it has nothing to do with us."

"No, I ran into Fang Qing looking for a job today and I was curious. Lu Jiangting makes a lot of money, and although her subsidy is gone, she still has support for her son, so she doesn't have to go out and look for a job."

"Oh, I see. I heard from Wang Cuilan that the money for the hospitalization was all sent back to them by Lu Jiangting. It seems that Lu Cong has lung cancer and it cannot be cured. It also cost a lot of money."

It's really ahead of schedule.

In his previous life, he was also diagnosed with lung cancer, but it was two years later and it was in the early stages.

Lin Yuyao asked him to quit smoking and refused to give in on this point.

What's rare is that Lu Jiangting agrees with her on this matter.

Others asked Lu Cong to quit smoking, but he refused to do so.

Lu Jiangting said that if he didn't quit smoking, he would not go to work and would come back to take care of him.

These words frightened Lu Cong, and he finally quit smoking.

Later, he was unable to live, but also unable to die, and it took several more years for him to die.

No wonder Fang Qing has to go out to find a job.

It seems that the money Lu Jiangting has saved for the past six months has reached rock bottom again.

Oh, now Fang Qing can no longer enjoy the good life with him and has to go out to work.

Just say, they are blessed to have each other.

…

Fang Qing had been looking for a job for several days but had not found one, and the money she had was getting less and less.

Lu Jiangting hadn't given her money for a long time. His father was sick with cancer and he had to spend a lot of money.

She knew it, but she couldn't do anything.

The rent is twenty yuan a month, and she and Chenchen's living expenses are all supported by Chenchen's support.

This year she had a few more dollars, so the total amount she and Chenchen had was fifty-two.

But after she got married, she no longer received the ten yuan subsidy a month.

Originally only the child had it, and the ten yuan was something the leader had fought for her.

The superiors took into consideration that the child was young, had lost his father and needed care from his mother.

His mother couldn't go out to work because she had to take care of him, so he gave her extra allowance.

But this subsidy will stop if she remarries or her children grow up.

Therefore, the living expenses for mother and son are now 42 yuan a month.

The rent alone is twenty.

It's not enough at all, she has been using her savings to supplement it.

But her savings were limited, and every penny she spent was one penny less. This was not a solution, so she had no choice but to go out and find a job.

As for asking Lu Jiangting for money? Forget it, Lu Jiangting was eager to ask her for money.

His father is sick and needs money to save his life.

She cried and said she had no money, so he borrowed from others.

Fang Qing felt worried whenever she thought of these bad things.

After picking up her child from school, she also bought some unsold vegetables at the nearby market.

This has been ordered, but it’s not sold out. What other good dishes can we have?

These are the ones that are left over and cannot be sold.

Yes, it’s not that they haven’t been sold out, it’s that they can’t be sold out.

The advantage is that it is cheap, only one cent, and people gave her all the leftovers, and she couldn’t finish them in three days.

Seeing that the oil in the oil tank at home was almost empty, Fang Qing only added a little oil when cooking.

Not enough, so I added some water.

The vegetables were fried, but unfortunately the vegetables with added water tasted like boiled pigweed and were not tasty.

Wang Chenchen pouted and poked at the rice with chopsticks, but she refused to eat.

Fang Qing frowned and said, "How did your mother teach you?"

Wang Chenchen didn't dare to poke it anymore, put down her chopsticks and said, "Mom, it's not delicious."

"We have to eat it even if it doesn't taste good. We are in financial difficulty at home and this is all we can eat."

"When will Uncle Lu come back? I want Uncle Lu to take me out for some delicious food."

She knew that Lu Jiangting had been quite busy recently.

But she also knew that even if Lu Jiangting came back now, he would not have the money to prepare delicious food for them.

"I don't know. Just eat your food and leave him alone."

Wang Chenchen looked at Fang Qing strangely.

"Mom, did you have a fight with Uncle Lu?"

quarrel?

She wanted to quarrel.

But she couldn't see anyone, so where could she go to have an argument?

She could go to the army to find him, but Lao Wang said that they had a lot of tasks to do recently and would not receive outsiders.

She couldn't see Lu Jiangting during working hours, and she could only see Lao Wang when she went there.

The first time she went there, Lao Wang asked her a few questions out of concern.

If he went twice more, Lao Wang would become impatient.

She saw through it all, so she stopped causing trouble.

"Eat quickly, Chenchen, men are unreliable, so mom can only rely on you. Show some respect for me, and you will make a lot of money in the future."

Wang Chenchen nodded hurriedly, "Okay, when I grow up, I will make a lot of money for mom to spend."

Fang Qing smiled, "Be good, eat more, and you will grow taller."

As the mother and son were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Fang Qing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"

"I."

Um?

It’s so late, Lu Jiangting is here?

Fang Qing was full of doubts, but she still stood up quickly, tidied her hair and clothes, and went to open the door happily.

"Jiang Ting, are you done with your work?"

"No, I'm not working overtime today. I came here."

"So, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten, this..." He stopped talking when he saw the boiled vegetables on the table.

"Is this what you guys eat?"

Fang Qing's eyes lit up, thinking that she had made this boiled vegetable today and it would come in handy unexpectedly.

In fact, she was not so poor that she had to eat boiled vegetables, after all, she still had some savings.

It was such a coincidence today. I had been looking for work all day and forgot to buy groceries.

After picking up Chenchen, she went to the vegetable market and happened to meet a vegetable vendor who offered to give her all the remaining vegetables for one cent, so she bought them for the sake of cheapness.

But it is true that there is not much oil left.

Fang Qing sighed and whispered, "Dad is sick, and we need money everywhere at home, so we should save some money."

Lu Jiangting frowned and said, "Didn't I ask you for money? I borrowed from someone else."

"I know, but I think I can't help you much, but I don't want to add burden to you at this critical moment."

"What about Chenchen's money? Doesn't he get child support every month?"

"Yes, but that little money is not enough for much."

"Didn't the alimony increase this year?" Lu Jiangting said with a cold face.

Fang Qing was speechless for a moment and her tone became a little intense.

"Yes, it has gone up. It has only gone up a few dollars. Now it's 42 dollars in one month."

"Why is it forty-two? I remember you only had forty-eight before."

Fang Qing's mouth twitched.

I only have this little money, yet he keeps such a close eye on it.

"It used to be 48 dollars. That was because my boss gave me an extra 10 dollars for childcare because I had to take care of Chenchen because he was still young. We haven't paid this money since we got married. Chenchen's childcare fee was 38 dollars last year, and it has increased by 4 dollars this year, so it's 42 dollars now."

Lu Jiangting's body shook.
