Chapter 475 City folks still know how to play tricks.
She put the prescription for pregnancy maintenance medication and the pregnancy test results on the table for them to see.
"The doctor said I'm pregnant and need to rest more. This is the medication the doctor prescribed to help maintain the pregnancy."
These words made the whole family stop.
Fang Qing looked at them, her smile slowly turning stiff.
what happened?
Why weren't they as happy as I expected?
After several seconds, Wang Cuilan exclaimed in surprise, "You're pregnant?"
Fang Qing's expression stiffened, and she forced a smile, "Yes."
How long are you pregnant?
“It’s been over a month.” Fang Qing’s gaze remained fixed on Lu Jiangting.
Wang Cuilan counted on her fingers, more than a month ago, was it that time?
They went out together and never came back. Later, she asked her son, who said they stayed at a hotel that night.
The time should be about right.
Fang Qing felt disappointed and angry when she saw that none of her family members spoke.
"If you don't want it, I..."
She looked at Lu Jiangting with a wronged expression, "Don't think about it, it's not like I necessarily want to have a baby."
Lu Jiangting took a deep breath, opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a single word.
It was so sudden; he was still somewhat bewildered.
He hadn't thought it through yet; this was a life at stake, not a joke, and he dared not make a promise directly.
Over the years, he has gradually come to understand one thing: promises are too heavy a burden, far too heavy a burden...
Wang Cuilan, on the other hand, was very happy. She took Fang Qing's hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Being pregnant is a good thing. We must have the baby."
Then, she looked at Lu Cong happily and said, "Old man, Fang Qing is pregnant. We can hold our grandson now."
Lu Cong gave a faint "hmm," glanced at Lu Jiangting, and then looked away.
He was clearly not that happy.
Wang Cuilan didn't care and happily pulled Fang Qing along.
"You should rest well now that you're pregnant. Sit down, I'll go boil some water."
Fang Qing's face was extremely ugly, and she looked at Lu Jiangting with a face full of resentment.
Lu Jiangting looked away and said calmly, "It's all good. Then listen to the doctor and get some rest. If you can do the work, do it; if you can't, quit and go home to take good care of yourself."
Fang Qing: "..." That's it?
Coming back is easy, but what about the money?
What will happen to the money if you don't tell me?
Fang Qing said sarcastically, "If I quit my job, what will my family eat and drink? I look forward to my salary every month; without that money, we'll starve to death."
“Well…” Lu Jiangting still didn’t offer her money, only saying, “Then take a leave of absence first, rest for a few days before going.”
"Sister Zhao is sick, how can I take leave?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
Fang Qing twitched the corner of her mouth and said indifferently, "Forget it, I'm just a country woman, how can I be so precious? I can still work even when I'm pregnant."
Hearing this, Lu Jiangting felt a little guilty.
Just as he was about to speak, Wang Cuilan said, "Yes, Fang Qing is right. We are country folk, not as precious as city women. When I was pregnant with you three siblings, I didn't get a single day off; I had to earn work points every day."
Many women in the village give birth in the sweet potato ditch, and immediately go back to work with hoes afterward. Giving birth is as easy for a woman as a hen laying an egg, Jiang Ting, don't worry. Fang Qing isn't a first-timer, she'll be fine.”
Fang Qing's expression froze on her face; she was so angry she couldn't move.
You think you're so great? You're just a hen.
The doctor told you to rest more, but you didn't listen to a word.
"Alright." Finally, Lu Cong, who hadn't spoken until now, spoke up.
“You can’t stop working just because you’re pregnant. Jobs are so hard to find these days. Women of your mother’s generation never stopped working when they were pregnant. Fang Qing should continue working, and rest more after get off work. Let your mother do more chores, and I’ll help her as much as I can. That’s all for now, it’s getting late, you should go and get some rest.”
The family members quickly went to rest, leaving Yang Guangzong, who had been eavesdropping outside, stunned.
It's been more than three months, so why is Fang Qing telling them it's only been a little over a month?
Wait a minute.
He counted the time on his fingers.
More than three months.
Just over three months ago, wasn't Fang Qing still in her hometown?
Could it be... could it be that the child's surname isn't Lu at all?
Was she pregnant by a random man she met while she was still in her hometown?
Wow, that's quite an eye-opener for him.
I thought to myself that city people really know how to have fun.
I was wondering why Fang Qing hadn't dared to say a word when the man surnamed Lu was causing trouble for her because of another woman.
So Fang Qing herself isn't clean; she's just feeling guilty.
He's finally found a way to deal with Fang Qing.
The next day, Yang Guangzong stopped Fang Qing.
Fang Qing's face darkened, and she snorted coldly, saying, "Yang Guangzong, let me tell you, this isn't your backyard where you can do whatever you want. Don't push your luck. If you push me too far, I'll send you to the police station."
Yang Guangzong laughed and said, "I didn't do anything, so what reason do you have to send me there?"
He looked at the fairly wide road and said, "Do you think I'm blocking your way and you're going to send me to the police station? Do you think you own the police station?"
Fang Qing's lips twitched. "Speak, what are you planning to do now?"
"Find me a job; I want to settle down here."
Fang Qing rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you? There's a construction site up ahead that needs people. You're strong enough to carry bricks and cement; you can make money that way. It's just that you didn't go."
"Pah! My wife works in an office, and you want me to go lay bricks and carry cement? Do you think my wife will even look at me when she gets back?"
Fang Qing looked disdainful, thinking to herself, "Your wife doesn't work in an office, so she might not even notice you."
"That's still better than you being idle."
"Being idle is not an option, so you need to find me a job quickly. I want an office job like Lu Jiangting's."
What?
Fang Qing was amused by him. "Are you kidding me? Tsk, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You think you can sit in an office?"
Yang Guangzong snorted coldly, unconvinced.
Fang Qing continued, "You want to be like Lu Jiangting? Do you know that Lu Jiangting was the top student in the whole school since elementary school? He got into university with the highest score in the whole county high school. What's your education level? Do you even have an elementary school diploma?"
Yang Guangzong: "..."
He pursed his lips, feeling a little guilty about it, because he really couldn't produce an elementary school graduation certificate.
Whose fault is this? It's his parents' fault, for saying that studying is useless.
It is said that boys need to be strong and capable so that they can manage women, cultivate the family's land, and catch prey in the mountains.
Who knew that times have changed, and there are plenty of strong people now, so they're not worth much.
If I had known, he would have at least managed to get his elementary school diploma.
"Fine, if you won't find me a job, then solve my living problems. I'm out of money, lend me some living expenses."
He said he was borrowing, not asking for it.
He just won't pay it back.
He's gotten smarter now; he understands that asking for money is the same as robbing someone, and that's illegal.
Lending money is not illegal. Even if Fang Qing sues him, he will insist that it was a loan.
Fang Qing scoffed, then said coldly, "You promised me last time that it would be the last time. I only gave it to you because I felt sorry for you and thought you were starving. Why are you borrowing it again now? No way."
"You won't lend it? Fine, then I'll go borrow money from Lu Jiangting and tell him a secret while I'm at it."
He glanced at Fang Qing's belly and said, "Tell him that the baby in your belly is more than three months old."
