Chapter 617 Wang Jianguo comes up with a bad idea
“The jobs here do pay more than in your hometown, but there’s the rent, living expenses, and the distance. It’s inconvenient for you to go home every year, and the travel expenses are a lot.”
"It's alright. After this season's harvest, I'll bring my parents, wife, and children over. Our family will stay in the city from now on and won't go back."
"Huh?" Lin Yuyao said in surprise, "Living in the city with such a large family isn't cheap. Six people, your salary probably won't be enough."
Wang Jianguo laughed and said, "Our whole family is definitely supported by more than just my salary. My parents receive alimony, which increases every year. My salary also increases every year. Besides, my wife can earn money too. She used to have to farm at home, but she doesn't have to farm here. She can easily find a cleaning job like my sister-in-law, earning a hundred or two a month. All that adds up to quite a bit, and our family can live quite well."
Lin Yuyao's lips twitched, thinking to herself that he was dreaming.
She looked at Fu Huaiyi.
Fu Huaiyi smiled and said, "That's great. I wish you success in realizing your dream soon."
Back home, Fu Huaiyi frowned and snorted coldly.
"You, Wang Jianguo, you've really made it a good life for me." He looked at Lin Yuyao and said, "I think it's probably difficult to get Lu Jiangting to expose this matter. How about we just give him the medical records?"
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, Fang Qing is currently fighting with the Lu family."
"What? They're divorced, why are they fighting again?"
Lin Yuyao laughed and said, "Those two are destined to be entangled for life. Whether they have a marriage certificate or not, they will continue to be entangled until death."
Just thinking about it makes me secretly happy.
How did she know all this?
Of course, Zhou Jing told her that during her lunch break every day.
After Zhou Jing unexpectedly met Lu Jiangting's blind date and her aunt, the blind date's aunt often came to chat with Zhou Jing and cry her heart out.
She said she had inquired about several of Lu's former neighbors and found out what kind of family they were. She also went back to her parents' home and clearly told her younger brother's family that the man surnamed Lu had mental problems and was not someone she could entrust her life to.
She also apologized to her younger brother's family, saying it was her fault for being misled by Lu Jiangting's mother and believing her, which led to the blind date being arranged.
Fortunately, the two weren't married yet, so they could just drop the engagement.
Her plan was good, but her niece, Li Wenwen, was attracted to Lu Jiangting's somewhat gloomy and handsome appearance, and she fell for him.
His aunt told him about his complicated relationship with Fang Qing, but instead of losing her charm, the young woman felt even more sorry for him and sympathized with him.
The lingering melancholy between Lu Jiangting's brows also became a part of his charm that attracted her.
Her family had taught her to hide her shortcomings, but once she got caught up in love, she obediently went to explain herself to the other person.
She didn't graduate from primary school; she went to a junior college, a teacher's college, and is now a primary school teacher.
She was indeed from the countryside, but that was her grandfather's generation. Her parents' generation lived in the city, and both of them were formal employees in a factory there.
These conditions were exactly what Wang Cuilan and Lu Cong had in mind for their ideal daughter-in-law, so they agreed with great enthusiasm.
As for Lu Jiangting, it didn't matter to him anyway; as long as it wasn't Yu Yao, it didn't matter who it was.
Since Mom and Dad like it, then it's fine.
If they both agree, then it's settled, right?
If it weren't for the fact that military marriage verification takes time, at least six months to complete, Wang Cuilan would probably be urging them to get their marriage certificate right now.
The family was satisfied, but Wang Chenchen was filled with anxiety and secretly told Fang Qing about their conversation.
Fang Qing felt a sense of crisis and was even more anxious than Wang Chenchen.
She thought that as long as Lu Jiangting didn't get married, it wouldn't matter whether she or he got a divorce.
But what if Lu Jiangting gets married soon?
When he has his own child, will her Chenchen still receive Lu Jiangting's full support as she does now?
And what about that house? Will Chenchen get a share of it in the future?
How will Lu Jiangting deal with Chenchen now that his new wife has entered the family?
No matter how I think about it, I feel like it's all over.
She approached Wang Jianguo and asked him for advice.
“We absolutely cannot let him get married. If he does, Chenchen will have nothing left. That house… that house is worth seventy or eighty thousand, and its value will only increase in the future. Are you willing to give it to someone else?”
Wang Jianguo was also shocked, "Worth that much money? I remember your house only cost a few thousand?"
"Oh dear, this is a big city, not a small county town. The location is good, and the house is good too. Even if it's not worth 70,000 or 80,000, it should be... at least 50,000 or 60,000."
Wang Jianguo's eyes turned red when he heard about so much money.
He had heard that houses here were priced in the tens of thousands, and he thought they were only worth 10,000 or 20,000, with better and larger ones costing 30,000 to 50,000. He never expected that Lu Jiangting's house would be worth so much.
With so much money, how could he not be envious?
Fang Qing continued, "Think about it, an ordinary person's monthly salary is only a little over a hundred, while a house costs tens of thousands. How long would it take you to afford it if you didn't eat or drink?"
Wang Jianguo counted on his fingers, "A little over a hundred a month, a little over a thousand a year, and only a little over ten thousand in ten years. So, you work your whole life just to buy a dilapidated house?"
He was just an ordinary worker in a grain and oil store, earning a wage below average. What else could he do?
Of course, old, dilapidated houses, especially those without toilets, can be bought for less than 10,000.
But who doesn't want the best?
Having seen new houses costing tens of thousands, who would want to live in a dilapidated house without even a toilet?
He wished Lu Jiangting would die soon, so that the house would belong to Chenchen.
Fang Qing said mockingly, "Now you know why I didn't get a divorce before, right? If you hadn't insisted on doing that, and Lu Jiangting hadn't caught you red-handed, Lu Jiangting and I would never have gotten a divorce."
Wang Jianguo felt a pang of regret after hearing her words. What could he do? He already knew everything.
He originally thought he was doomed, but he never expected Lu Jiangting to be such a coward, putting on such a huge green hat.
He even made Fang Qing live with him, worried that they would be embarrassed if they were caught having an affair outside?
Hey!
He is also a talented person.
"How about this?" Wang Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Talk to him directly. He can get married, but he must protect Chenchen's interests and not allow his new wife to treat Chenchen badly."
"What's the use of that? He doesn't have children now, so he's making promises to us. But what if he has his own children later? Who can guarantee he'll still treat Chenchen well?"
"A verbal guarantee is definitely not enough. We need to make him sign a written agreement to transfer the house to Chenchen's name."
Fang Qing was shocked. Wang Jianguo was so ambitious; she had never even dared to think about such a thing.
Will he agree?
Wang Jianguo chuckled, "Didn't you notice? He's really loyal to my brother. If he doesn't agree, we'll just bring my brother out. If that doesn't work, you can go and snatch Chenchen back. He said it's better to take her with him than to leave her here and be bullied by her stepmother."
