Chapter 243 The task of taking care of the two elderly people was left to Fang Qing.
Attending a wedding banquet? That's not enough to provoke him; he can't bear the shame.
But she couldn't bear to blame her son anymore, so she decided to let it go.
Lu Jiangting took them to a guesthouse, and Fang Qing went to her neighbor's house to pick up her son.
She looked at the spot where Lu Cong had sat with obvious disgust.
I wiped myself with a handkerchief again and again, but I still felt disgusted.
Thankfully, I'm going back home and won't be living with them anymore, otherwise just thinking about it would be unbearable.
She got married, and the child support payments for her son continued, but her share was no longer paid.
Starting next month, the child support payments I receive will be less.
Really annoying.
……
Lu Jiangting cried and sobbed as he spoke to Lu Cong at the guesthouse, mostly expressing his feelings of guilt towards his parents, repeating the same things over and over.
Seeing his expression, what else could Lu Cong say?
He just sighed and said, "Since it's already like this, just let it go. If you can stay with her, then stay with her. If not, wait a year or two before deciding."
Lu Jiangting nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you, Father. Father, how are you feeling?"
"Cough cough cough." Lu Cong coughed a few times and said, "What's so good about it? It's still the same as always. I'm doing alright, but your mother isn't doing so well. Her eyesight is getting worse and worse."
"What should we do? Have you taken them to the hospital yet?"
Lu Cong shook his head and said, "What's so interesting about this? That's how it is when people get old. The parts of the body age, and gradually the eyes, ears, and hands and feet become less agile. If it can't be cured, hospitals don't rip you off, so it's not worth going."
"Your health isn't good, and your mother's eyesight isn't good either. Your son works so far away. What will you do?"
"Sigh!" Lu Cong sighed and said, "I was hoping that you would marry Lin Yuyao, and that after you had a child, she would stay in your hometown to take care of the child and us. She wouldn't want to leave her parents, and since our two families live close by, she could take good care of both sets of parents. Now that you've married that widow, do you think she'll be willing to go back and take care of us?"
Lu Jiangrong, who had been silent until now, immediately chimed in, "Why not? Soldiers are supposed to serve their country, so shouldn't women stay in their hometowns to take care of the rear? When Fang Qing married that guy surnamed Wang, didn't she live with his parents?"
Lu Jiangrong wasn't actually very clear about some of the things that happened to Fang Qing's family.
But Lu Jiangting was aware of it.
Wang Jianjun's parents are not good people, and his mother is his stepmother. She doesn't treat Wang Jianjun well, so how could she be good to Fang Qing?
That's why Wang Jianjun borrowed money from all over the place to buy her a small apartment in the tenement building.
But his parents are different; they are his biological parents.
They only have one son, so they naturally have to take responsibility for their own retirement.
So... now that they're married, he should persuade Fang Qing to go back to her hometown to take care of his parents.
"Eldest sister is right, Dad. I'll discuss it with Fang Qing in a few days."
Lu Cong nodded.
I thought this would be fine, since they were just missing a daughter-in-law to take care of them anyway.
If Fang Qing were diligent, capable, and filial, they would tolerate the fact that she was a divorcee with a child.
Finally, the guilt he felt towards his elderly parents led Lu Jiangting to give all the money he had to Lu Cong.
"Dad, this is all the money I have. You can take it. You and Mom are getting old, so don't skimp on food and drink. Eat well and take care of your health; that's more important than anything else."
When Lu Cong saw so much money, several hundred yuan, his hands trembled as he held it.
"You've given me so much money, what are you going to do with it?"
"It's okay, I'll get paid again in two weeks."
“Then you’ll have to spend money over these two weeks.” This was his youngest son, and he couldn’t bear to see him suffer.
He would rather suffer himself.
So he took out another half of the money and stuffed it into Lu Jiangting's hand.
At this moment, Lu Jiangrong stopped her.
“Dad, this is Jiang Ting’s gift to you. Please take it. It looks like a lot of money, but you and Mom are getting old. If you get sick, a few trips to the hospital could cost you everything. My second sister and I both have our own families and can’t take care of you. Jiang Ting lives so far away. If something really happens to you, he can’t help much. Take it. At least you’ll have some money on you to deal with things.”
Lu Jiangting nodded repeatedly and said, "Dad, take this, just in case something happens."
The current situation is completely different from the future he had anticipated.
He originally planned to marry Yuyao. Since the two families were so close, even if his parents had something going on, his future father-in-law couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
With my parents taking care of me, I have nothing to worry about.
But now that he's married to Fang Qing, and Fang Qing's family lives in the mountains, they can't even get close to him, let alone help take care of his parents.
So the parents at home can only rely on themselves.
Since he wasn't around, all I could do was give them more money.
If there's any trouble, money can solve it.
Lu Cong wanted to refuse, but seeing his eldest daughter winking at him, he finally accepted.
As soon as Lu Jiangting left, Lu Jiangrong said to Lu Cong, "Dad, are you stupid? Your brother gives you money, so just take it, take as much as you can."
"I was thinking that expenses are high in this big city, so what would I do with the money?"
"Oh dear, he's in the army, where he gets all the food and lodging, and even his bedding and clothes are free. What money does he need? If you don't take it, Fang Qing and her son will spend all the money."
"what?"
"You still don't believe me? Look at what Fang Qing and her son are wearing, and then look at what you and your mother are wearing. Think about it, where do they, an orphan and a widow, get the money to live so luxuriously?"
Lu Cong: "I heard that the child is being raised by the state."
"Oh dear, my father. The government provides for you, but how much money do you expect? They only provide basic sustenance, not proper care. If you want to eat well and dress well, that little bit of money is definitely not enough."
"You keep it; the money is my brother's if it's with you. If you let Jiang Ting keep it, he's easily swayed and can't outmaneuver that widow Fang; who knows whose money it will end up with."
Ok?
What she said seemed to make some sense.
"you're right."
Lu Jiangrong continued, "Father, not only do I have to take it this time, but I also have to find different ways to ask Jiang Ting for money in the future. I see Fang Qing's eyes darting around, she's much more cunning than Lin Yuyao."
Now that Jiang Ting has married a woman like that, you and your mother need to be extra careful. She's fooled others and swindled them out of their money. Don't let them end up divorcing, leaving Jiang Ting with nothing but heartbreak and financial ruin.”
He felt that his eldest daughter's ideas were also correct.
They used to dote on their son and never asked him for money.
But things are different now. There's a scheming woman by his son's side. If he doesn't keep an eye on her, his naive and foolish son will be completely taken advantage of by that woman.
"Row."

Fang Qing came to the bookstore specifically to hand Lin Yuyao a handwritten invitation.
