Lu Cong, "I'm almost done, Jiang Ting, help me go outside to watch the fireworks."
"Okay." He hurried to get him a walking stick, and while helping the old man out, he turned back to Wang Cuilan who was cleaning up the dishes and said, "Mom, we are outside now, we won't go far, come out when you are done."
"Okay."
The old lady took care of the old man and his son. Her waist and legs were no longer sore, and she could run very fast.
Her eyesight was also cured, although it was paid for by Fang Qing with the money from selling her house.
But she didn't feel that Fang Qing was at a disadvantage.
She felt that Fang Qing had taken all her money from her son by using her clever words and scheming.
What’s a few hundred dollars for an eye treatment? She deserves it.
Lu Jiangting had come out with his old man to happily watch the fireworks, but he didn't expect to see Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao playing and frolicking in the crowd, sometimes playing with spinning balls on the ground, sometimes playing with flying balls in the sky, and they were having a lot of fun.
His eyes turned red because of the laughter on their faces, and he stared at them intently.
I thought he had let it go long ago, but this scene still broke his defenses.
Obviously, the person standing beside her and protecting her should be me. Obviously... obviously, the person smiling so happily should also be me.
Why has everything changed beyond recognition?
My hands clenched unconsciously.
Lu Cong felt pain in his arm and turned his head to look at Lu Jiangting, then followed his gaze to see Lin Yuyao and her man in the crowd.
He immediately understood that his son was sad again.
The fireworks this year are so beautiful. There are so many rich people. It’s great that they can set off such big fireworks as they please.
You can’t finish watching it. You can’t finish watching it at all.
But in order not to make his son sad, Lu Cong decided not to watch it.
"Jiang Ting, I'm a little tired, let's go back."
Lu Jiangting came back to his senses and loosened his grip.
"Okay, I'll take you back then."
"Why."
Just as Wang Cuilan was about to go out, the father and son came back.
"You're back so soon? Aren't the fireworks pretty?"
"It's nice, but I'm a little tired, so I came back."
"Old man, are you feeling unwell again?"
"It's OK, it's just that I'm old and useless now."
…
The next day, Lu Jiangting helped Lu Cong go to the phone booth to call his elder sister.
I first wished her a happy new year, and then talked about my parents' health.
Lu Cong said, "I'm much better off than at home, but my wallet is hurt. Your brother spends all his monthly salary on my medicine. In order to save money, he eats in the cafeteria every day and never goes home for meals."
Lu Jiangrong's expression froze for a moment, and she said, "Thanks to my brother for making a lot of money. My second sister and I have no money, so we have no money to lose."
"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Your mother and I don't want you to be responsible. Just have this in mind."
After hearing what her father said, Lu Jiangrong felt relieved.
There is no money to be given, but it is still possible to say nice things and do things that don't cost money.
"Dad, you and mom went to your brother's place, and there was no one at home. The weather was good a few days ago, so I asked my second sister to come back to our house and do a thorough cleaning. We took out the quilts in the house to dry in the sun, and also took out your and mom's coats and leather shoes to dry in the sun. We opened the doors and windows to ventilate the house to prevent mold."
"Okay, I didn't even think about it. Luckily you guys remembered it. Otherwise, this house would collapse if no one lived in it for a long time."
"Yes, my second sister and I have discussed it. You will be taken care of by your younger brother in South City, and my second sister and I will take care of the old house and the few acres of land. Dad, you should take good care of yourself over there, and you don't need to worry about anything at home."
Don’t they have to worry about anything at home?
The person has no home, just a shabby house, and no one needs to feed him, so what is there to worry about?
However, Lu Cong didn't think anything was wrong.
Because he is a very traditional person, although he favors his son, he will not rely on his daughter, nor will he use his daughter's money to subsidize his son.
The year before last, Lu Jiangting borrowed travel expenses from his sister, and Lu Cong took the initiative to urge Lu Jiangting to send the money back.
If this happened to the kind of parents who suck their daughter's blood, it would be a piece of shit.
After chatting for a long time, Lu Jiangting began to feel sorry for the phone bill, so he got down to business.
"When you have time, go visit Fang Qing's home in town. Fang Qing has taken Chen Chen back to her hometown."
"Ah? Fang Qing is back? When did she come back?"
"It won't be long, so go check it out when you have time."
"What's there to see?"
Lu Cong sighed and told Lu Jiangrong about the conflict between Fang Qing and them, as well as Lu Jiangting's concerns.
Lu Jiangrong burst into curses after hearing this, "How could she be so good? She is a second-time married woman with a child, not even worthy of carrying my brother's shoes, and yet she dares to threaten others. Wait, I will beat her up."
Lu Jiangting: “…”
"Sister, I'm worried that she might torment Chenchen."
"Brother, you are so confused. He is her own son. She herself doesn't feel sorry for him, so why do you feel sorry for him?"
"I know, but that's Jianjun's son. Jianjun passed away at a young age, leaving behind only this son. Fang Qing is so unreliable, I must help him raise Chenchen. I'm divorcing Fang Qing, and I must get the custody of Chenchen."
Lu Jiangrong was speechless. She felt that her brother was simply catching lice from other people's heads and biting his own head.
She couldn't understand and advised, "It's not easy to raise a child in the city. Don't worry about other people's children. If you really like him, divorce Fang Qing and find someone to marry and have your own child."
"Big sister, these are two different things. He is Jianjun's son. I can't just ignore him."
"Oh, I think you've become stupid from studying too much. I can't explain it to you. Dad, talk to mom and talk to my brother. We can't keep this child."
Finally, Lu Cong said, "Rong'er, your brother is right. We can't just ignore this child."
Lu Jiangrong: “…”
What's going on? Dad is crazy too?
"Dad, I know you love your brother, but you have to think clearly about what is best for him."
"I've thought it through. Your brother has feelings for Chenchen. He is the orphan of a martyr. It is an honor for us to raise an orphan of a martyr. It will also help your brother's promotion. Besides, Chenchen is different from Fang Qing. He is very cute."
Lu Jiangrong took a deep breath and listened to what her father said. Are they serious about competing with Fang Qing for custody?
"But raising a child is not cheap. My brother has a high salary, but you and mom are getting old and sick, and it costs a lot of money too."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. A child doesn't cost much. He is the orphan of a martyr, so his tuition is free. Besides, he also receives several dozen yuan in child support from the government every month, which increases every year."
When Lu Jiangrong heard him say that, she stopped trying to persuade him.
So, raising this child is free and you can also get a good reputation, which is really worthwhile.
