Chapter 572 Everyone Wants to Make Lu Jiangting the Sucker

Hearing them say that, Lu Jiangting softened again, "I'll go talk to Fang Qing tomorrow morning and try to persuade her to return the money to you."

Wang Jianguo: "What if she doesn't give it to me?"

"She won't give it to me..." What can I do if she won't give it to me?

If Lu Jiangting knew what to do with Fang Qing, he wouldn't be so furious.

"Brother Jiang Ting, I...I have something to tell you."

Ok?

Lu Jiangting: "Go ahead and say it."

Wang Jianguo glanced at Wang Zhong, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

That's where his brilliance lies; he was clearly guarding against Lu Cong, but instead he was watching Wang Zhong.

Lu Jiangting: "..." What is it that Wang Zhong can't know?

Wang Zhong is not a responsible father; he is a stepfather, as Lu Jiangting had already heard from Wang Jianjun.

"I need to go out and buy something. Let's talk on the way."

"it is good."

Lu Cong: "Hey, Jiang Ting..."

Lu Jiangting: "Dad, it's alright, I'll be back in a bit."

Lu Cong had a bad feeling. What were these two up to?

Those little eyes of his darted around didn't look like those of a good person at all.

Once outside, Lu Jiangting asked, "Jianguo, is there anything you want to tell me privately?"

"Sigh!" Wang Jianguo sighed and said, "Brother Jiang Ting, to be honest, I can hardly make a living back in my hometown. I want to come out and find a way to make a living."

Lu Jiangting was taken aback. "Why can't things go on like this anymore?"

Wang Jianguo lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I have an older brother, you've heard of him, right?"

"Yes, your mother brought it over."

"Yes, from childhood to adulthood, my relationship with my brother and him has never been good. We both have the surname Wang, and his surname is Liu. He has never treated us as his brothers."

Lu Jiangting vaguely heard Wang Jianjun mention this matter.

“He hates us. My father raised him, and in his eyes, he is an old thief who took my mother’s place. My brother is the old thief’s child, and I am the bastard born from my father taking my mother’s place.”

Lu Jiangting: "..."

“He hates all of us, so he left after he came of age and became a live-in son-in-law in another family. He will never take care of his parents in their old age.”

Lu Jiangting: "But I remember Jianjun saying that your father treated your older brother better than he treated Jianjun."

Wang Jianguo: "..."

He never expected that Wang Jianjun had actually told Lu Jiangting these things.

"Yes, my dad was really good to him when he was little, even better than to my brother. People say it's hard to be a stepfather, and my dad was afraid of being gossiped about, so he had to be nice to him. But unfortunately, people still hate us. We all have the surname Wang, but he has the surname Liu, so no matter how you raise him, you can't get him to be affectionate."

Lu Jiangting nodded, indicating that he understood, while also feeling a sense of satisfaction.

He wanted to tell Jianjun, "You see? Your father is so good to his adopted son, but in the adopted son's eyes, he's just an old thief."

Well deserved.

Wang Jianguo sighed and said, "My brother passed away, and now I'm my parents' only son. I have to support them both, as well as my wife, and I also have two children. They are twins and will start elementary school next year. Everything has to be doubled; it's really expensive everywhere."

Lu Jiangting expressed his understanding, saying, "It is indeed a considerable expense."

“You can’t make money by staying in the mountains. You can’t even earn enough for your children’s tuition and living expenses. Many people in our village have gone out to work. I thought that while my parents are still young and can help with housework and take care of the children, I should also go out to work.”

Lu Jiangting: "You also want to come out and work?"

"Yes, I want to go out and work to earn money for my children's schooling and to support my parents in their old age."

Lu Jiangting himself was a filial person. He felt that although Wang Zhong was a scoundrel, Wang Jianguo was a good person because of his filial piety.

"You mean you want me to help you find a job?"

"Yes, everyone says you can earn more in big cities. Brother Jiang Ting, could you do me a favor?"

Lu Jiangting frowned.

Wang Jianguo added, "Or we could talk to the organization about our difficulties and see if they can help us. If my brother were still alive, the burden of caring for our parents wouldn't fall on me alone. I'm really afraid that if something happens to my parents, I won't be able to support this family."

If it were the Lu Jiangting of his younger days, he would have felt much more sorry for him.

But after what happened with Fang Qing, he became much more shrewd.

“Jianguo, I remember that your uncle and aunt received a monthly allowance. Even though your aunt wasn’t Jianjun’s biological mother, the organization didn’t mistreat her.”

He was still angry about this back then. He thought that it would be enough to pay child support for Chenchen, but why did those two old guys also have it?

But that's the rule they have; underage children and elderly parents all receive money.

Wang Jianguo said, "Yes, there is, but according to the standards in the countryside, it's less than fifty yuan a month for the two of us combined, which isn't enough."

Lu Jiangting: "..." Is it that little?

Wang Jianguo observed Lu Jiangting's expression and, seeing his hesitation, whispered, "Those who will thrive in the future will definitely be in big cities. The braver people from our village who went to big cities have all made a fortune. It's definitely better than chasing wild rabbits in the mountains. I can't just think about it myself; I also have to think about my two children."

Even if I don't leave the mountains, my children will eventually. They can't stay cooped up in the mountains forever. By leaving first, I'm helping them find their way out, making it easier for them to leave later. My son even said he wants to be like his uncle and become someone useful to the country.

These were the decisive words; he clearly saw Lu Jiangting's expression change.

After saying that, he quickly took out a photo to show Lu Jiangting, "Brother Jiangting, look, this is my son and my daughter. Doesn't my son look a lot like my brother?"

It has to be said that their family has strong genes; they all have the same face passed down from the old man, and you can always see some resemblance.

Perhaps it was this face, with its vitality that Wang Jianjun had never possessed, that made Lu Jiangting vaguely see what Wang Jianjun, who had grown up under his parents' pampering, should have looked like, and he wavered.

Even though he knew he was having a hard time, he still wanted to help this young man.

Perhaps in the future he will live a better life, just like seeing Wang Jianjun, who is alive, living a good life.

"Jianguo, what's your educational background?"

"I graduated from junior high school." He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "My brother told me to study hard, but I'm not as smart as him, and I never got into high school."

Lu Jiangting nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Not bad. In your mountain school, only the top one or two students can go to high school."

Wang Jianguo: "Yes, the schools in our mountains are terrible. Not a single student in my graduating class got into high school."

He didn't tell Lu Jiangting that after his parents saw that Wang Jianjun's life was getting better and better through studying, they began to urge him to study hard.

They spent a lot of extra money to get him into a good junior high school in the county town, not the terrible school in the mountains.

"Okay, I understand your situation. I'll see if I can help you find a good job."
