Lu Jiangting looked embarrassed and said, "I only have ten dollars here. Take it first and spend it sparingly. It should be enough to cover your pension this month."

The agreed fifty yuan became ten yuan... Fang Qing felt very upset.

But she couldn't get angry, she just looked at the money, feeling that it was not right to take it, and it was not right not to take it.

Finally, he held up two fingers and took it, whispering, "Chenchen has finished reading that book. I promised him to buy a new one. It seems that I can only wait until I get this month's pension before I can do anything about it."

"Well, it's only a few days away anyway, so I can buy it later."

"Hey, Jiang Ting, thank you so much. I don't know what I would do without you."

"As I should. I promised Jianjun that I would take care of you. You should save this money. If you have any difficulties, come to me again."

He only gave them ten dollars and kept ten dollars to prevent any accidents from happening to them. At least he could still take out ten dollars when the time comes.

Fang Qing heard him say that it was so difficult, and asked with a sad face: "Jiang Ting, have you encountered any difficulties?"

"Ah? No, no." Lu Jiangting said in panic.

"Not yet? If you have any difficulties, just tell us. Don't keep it to yourself. It's your favor to help us, and it's your duty not to help us. Don't help us without telling us about your own difficulties."

Lu Jiangting opened his mouth and finally spoke.

"I originally promised to give you fifty dollars. Alas! When I came out, I ran into Yuyao. She came to me to pay me back. Not only did she take the fifty dollars I was going to give you, she also took the money I was going to give back to my sister."

ah?

Fang Qing felt so distressed that such a large amount of money was actually taken away by Lin Yuyao.

Originally she should have had fifty dollars, enough to take her son out for a good meal, but now she only had ten dollars left.

These ten dollars will last for several days, and I have to be frugal and scrimp and save. I don’t know when this life will end.

"She has a salary." Fang Qing said in a low voice.

Lu Jiangting was stunned for a moment and said, "She has her salary, but what she owes must be repaid."

Fang Qing knew she had said the wrong thing, and quickly corrected herself, "What I meant was that she is not short of money for the time being. I told her a few days ago that I would pay her back part of it when my pension arrives in a few days, but I didn't expect that she would ask you to pay it back. You shouldn't be asked to pay that money back, it was money I borrowed."

"Alas!" Lu Jiangting sighed, "How long will it take you to pay back your 48 yuan monthly pension without eating or drinking? Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll pay it back for you."

"This... is all what I owe you. Now I owe you one hundred more. No, I owe you one hundred and eleven more. The debt is really getting bigger and bigger. Jiang Ting, I am a woman, I have no ideas, and I don't have any ability. I don't know when I can pay you back."

He never thought of asking her to pay back the money that Lu Jiangting gave her.

If Jianjun hadn't saved him, he would have died long ago. How could he have had the chance to earn that much money?

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We'll talk about paying you back later. Just live your life well now."

Fang Qing nodded, wiped her tears and said, "Don't worry, I still have my son. Even if I can't pay it back, I will let Chenchen earn money to pay it back in the future."

As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled Wang Chen out, "Chenchen, tell Uncle Lu quickly that when you grow up you must earn money to honor Uncle Lu."

Wang Chen looked up at Lu Jiangting and said obediently, "Uncle Lu, I will make money when I grow up, a lot of money. When I make money in the future, I will definitely honor you well."

Lu Jiangting didn't notice that paying back the money had turned into a show of filial piety. He patted his head with satisfaction and said, "That's good. You're becoming more and more like Jianjun. Chenchen, you'll be as good as your father when you grow up."

Wang Chen lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "I want to be as good as Uncle Lu."

Lu Jiangting's face froze.

At this time Fang Qing hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Yes, your Uncle Lu and your father are both excellent, you should be like them."

Lu Jiangting finally laughed, "Good boy, you are better than us."

"good."

Lu Jiangting said a few words to them and was about to leave. If he didn't leave now, he would miss the last bus.

As soon as he left, Fang Qing's face darkened.

Wang Chen looked at her with some fear.

"Mom, aren't you happy?" he asked cautiously.

Fang Qing came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "It's okay."

"You looked so scary just now."

Fang Qing pulled the corner of her mouth and sighed, "Mom is worried. She only has ten yuan and it will take several days. Chenchen, why is our life so hard?"

Wang Chen lowered his head and said, "I know, it's all my damn father's fault. He died early and left us with no money to spend."

Fang Qing: “…”

She covered Wang Chen's mouth and said, "Don't say this outside, especially not to your Uncle Lu, remember?"

"Remember, I won't tell Uncle Lu."

"Good boy."

"Mom, since Uncle Lu gives us money, why don't we let Uncle Lu be my dad?"

Fang Qing was startled, then shook her head and sighed, "He looks down on me."

"What do you mean by look down upon?"

This……

"Why is the kid asking so many questions? You don't understand."

"Then why don't you just let him look up to you?"

Fang Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kid was really...

However...although the child's words were straightforward and simple, she still listened to them.

She knew where the gap between herself and Lu Jiangting lay.

Not only is she a few years older than Lu Jiangting, but she has also been married and has children.

It's normal for a young man who's getting married for the first time to look down on her.

Of course, she thought it was not impossible for Lu Jiangting to marry her.

What if he also remarries?

He is getting married for the second time...but his first marriage is still unsettled.

If he had married a city girl whose family was rich and powerful, they would definitely not have divorced him.

Lin Yuyao is a good candidate. If she gets pregnant, she can be sent back to her hometown to nurture the fetus. The child and Lu Jiangting's parents will be able to keep her here. Once she goes back, it will be difficult for her to come back.

Long-term separation between husband and wife will cause problems sooner or later.

If he and Lin Yuyao were to marry, they would get divorced sooner or later.

That Lin Yuyao is really something, why is she unwilling?

…

The news that Lu Jiangting was being chased by a pretty girl for debt had finally spread out. Lu Jiangting looked very unhappy and was extremely angry.

Liu Anguo, who lent him money, also looked very unhappy and angry.

"I trusted you so much, why did you lie to me?"

Lu Jiangting rubbed his brows, feeling overwhelmed. "It's my fault, and there's nothing I can do. Her parents keep coming to my parents with the IOUs, and my parents are old and in poor health. If I don't pay it back, who will?"

Liu Anguo: "..."

"Forget it. It's not easy for you."

Fu Huaiyi also heard these things.

They just completed a mission and came back yesterday.

Now his mind was full of Lin Yuyao coming to Lu Jiangting to collect the debt yesterday. He didn't know whether she was bullied or embarrassed by Lu Jiangting.

As soon as he got off work, he went straight to the bathhouse.

Wash off the sweat, change into clean clothes and go out.

Yi Yunshuo was holding his clothes and preparing to take a shower: "Brother Yi, where are you going?"

Fu Huaiyi ignored him and walked quickly.

"Hey, don't run away. Wait for me for a while. I want to go out too. Give me a ride..."

He has disappeared.

Yi Yunshuo: “…”

Fu Huaiyi went directly to Chenshan Town and went to "his sister's house".

Calculating that Lin Yuyao was about to get off work, he leaned on the window and looked down, like a man looking down at his wife, for half an hour.

Finally saw her back.

Fu Huaiyi's heartbeat quickened unconsciously, and he quickly retreated from the balcony.

He quickly washed his face with a handkerchief and tidied his clothes.

Only after looking at my handsome self in the mirror did I feel at ease to get the trash can.

Wait? Where's the trash?

Everything is ready, but there is no garbage?
