The staff member paused for a moment and said, "His grandmother has to bring him here. We will only consider taking him in if we can prove that he is truly unable to raise him. We will consider it, but we will not necessarily take him in."
"His grandmother can't come over."
"Where is his grandmother? We can send staff to investigate."
"In Yushan."
What?
"Why did you send him all the way here? You should ask the local orphanage."
"This..." Lu Jiangting didn't know what to say for a moment.
The staff member sighed, feeling that he was extremely unreliable.
After a moment, he asked again, "When will his parents be released from prison? Even if we can take him in, we can only adopt him until his parents are released. Besides, you can't apply for this kind of thing as someone who's not involved. It's best to go to the court. Usually, when a child's parents are in prison, the court will issue a document saying that the child should be sent to us, and we can make proper arrangements for him."
Lu Jiangting: "..." That's utter nonsense.
That's why the court refused to make that arrangement.
Because Wang Chenchen's custody is not in Fang Qing's hands, but in his.
Since he hasn't lost his ability to raise children, the court won't send Wang Chenchen to an orphanage.
"Sorry for disturbing you."
Lu Jiangting left with Wang Chenchen.
"You see, they won't want you."
"What should I do?"
Lu Jiangting thought that Fang Qing would be released from prison next month, so he said, "Come with me for now, and then go with your mother next month."
"Is my mom coming back next month?"
"Yes."
Wang Chenchen stopped talking and silently followed behind him.
Lu Jiangting was also troubled.
He had already inquired and found out that just because Fang Qing was back, he could leave Wang Chenchen with her.
If Fang Qing agrees, then it's very simple.
But if she disagrees, he will have to sue Fang Qing to change custody.
However, Fang Qing is unemployed and has no ability to raise children. Under these circumstances, the court cannot possibly award Wang Chenchen to Fang Qing.
Moreover, even if he wins, he still has to pay child support until Wang Chenchen turns eighteen.
He was ruined because of money, because of raising Wang Chenchen. How could he be willing to pay child support for Wang Chenchen?
He didn't want to spend a single penny.
Lu Jiangting rubbed his temples; just thinking about it gave him a headache.
……
Since returning from his hometown, Lu Jiangting has not visited Yu Yao, as he hasn't seen those strange scenes for a long time.
But today he met Wang Chenchen, and last night he had a dream about another life of his.
By this time, Wang Chenchen was already quite old. He spent money to get him into high school, where he barely managed to graduate. He was far from being able to get into university.
In his dream, he had high hopes for Wang Chenchen, and holding that dismal report card, he was unusually angry.
Wang Chenchen, standing to the side, was also frightened. She apologized softly, saying that she was useless and had let him down.
Fang Qing cried her eyes out.
"It's not Chenchen's fault, it's all my fault. I'm a good-for-nothing who can't read many words, I didn't even finish elementary school. I dragged down Chenchen's IQ and prevented him from getting into university. Luckily Jianjun is great, otherwise he probably wouldn't have even graduated from high school."
Hearing her say that, the version of myself in the dream believed it.
Yeah, what can he do to us?
Although he is Jianjun's son, he has a mother who didn't even finish elementary school.
All things considered, it would be good if he could finish high school.
He automatically ignored the fact that Wang Chenchen didn't even get into high school, and that he had spent a lot of money to get her in.
Lu Jiangting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chenchen is also good and works very hard, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to finish high school."
The mother and son exchanged a glance.
Lu Jiangting added, "It doesn't matter if you can't go to university, Chenchen can join the army."
Wang Chenchen's expression changed.
Fang Qing said, "Wouldn't it be too hard to be a soldier? Jiang Ting, can he sit in an office like you?"
Lu Jiangting's expression changed. "How is that possible? He can't even understand what we've made."
"Well... you can teach him."
Wang Chenchen immediately said, "Uncle Lu, I will definitely study hard."
Lu Jiangting's gaze faltered, and he sighed, "Chenchen, it's not that Uncle Lu is unwilling to teach you, but what we're learning is very difficult and will be used in many ways..." Considering their grades and Fang Qing's limited literacy, he doubted they would understand his explanation.
Lu Jiangting thought for a moment and then used a method they could understand to make them back down.
"Even the most basic things require high school math. How well did you do in high school math? Can you understand it?"
He held his report card in his hand; he scored in the twenties in math, and he suspected he had guessed a few multiple-choice questions correctly.
How could he understand? Of course he could.
"Is that so? Well... that is indeed very difficult."
Wang Chenchen realized that she couldn't do Uncle Lu's work.
Fang Qing didn't understand. She only knew that Lu Jiangting had a good job, but she didn't know that not just anyone could do that job.
In her view, Lu Jiangting intended to leave the best for his daughter, and he definitely wanted his daughter to take over the business, which was why he didn't teach his son.
She eagerly pushed Wang Chenchen and said, "Chenchen, your Uncle Lu is good to you. Quickly kowtow to him and let Uncle Lu take care of you."
"Sister-in-law, don't be so polite..." This made Lu Jiangting very embarrassed; he just couldn't understand why she wouldn't listen.
Wang Chenchen looked troubled.
Fang Qing kicked him in the back of the knee. "What are you standing there for? Your Uncle Lu has taken care of you for so many years, can't you even stand to kneel down?"
Wang Chenchen immediately knelt down.
Lu Jiangting was startled and quickly stood up, then helped Wang Chenchen up as well.
“Sister-in-law, what are you doing? I told you, Jianjun is gone, it’s only right that I take care of you. I didn’t expect you to thank me. As for Chenchen’s work… sigh! Sister-in-law, if Chenchen is really capable, he doesn’t need to take over my job, he can take over Jianjun’s job.”
Actually, he couldn't take the job, but he couldn't explain it to Fang Qing clearly, and he was afraid she would misunderstand, so he could only explain it in a way that she could understand.
“Our job is special; you really can’t do it if you don’t perform well. I don’t want to leave my job to my daughter.”
Fang Qing felt somewhat embarrassed, knowing that her thoughts had been exposed.
She smiled and said, "Jiang Ting, that's not what I meant. I just feel that you've helped us so much, and now that our child is all grown up, we should kowtow to you."
Lu Jiangting knew what she was thinking, but didn't expose her. He added, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll arrange for Chenchen to join the army. He'll definitely do well. He'll go in first to get qualified, and once he's qualified enough, I'll use some connections to get him assigned to a good unit. I guarantee it will be even better than mine."
Only after he made that promise did Fang Qing and her son feel at ease.
After that, he used his connections to get Wang Chenchen a less strenuous job, and all the money he had painstakingly saved was gone again.
That money was originally promised to Yuyao.
