Chapter 559 Step 1: Asking for Money
"Hmph, how did I slander you? I'm asking you, did you start flirting with Fang Qing as soon as Jianjun died?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"Are you married to Fang Qing now?"
"I did that so that..."
"Pah!" Before he could finish speaking, Wang Zhong spat in his face. "Don't give me any talk about repaying a debt of gratitude. Who repays a debt of gratitude by sleeping with someone?"
They didn't come randomly; they made preparations beforehand.
Wang Zhong and his son investigated Fang Qingcheng's house and visited the area near Lu Jiangting's house. They found out everything about their affairs before coming here.
"Hmph, you may be trying to deny it, but I've asked around the neighborhood and all the gossipy women in your village. You two started dating right after Jianjun died. I heard that right after Jianjun died, you stayed at Fang Qing's house every night, didn't you?"
Lu Cong looked at Lu Jiangting with concern, but remained silent, waiting to see if he could handle the situation.
Wang Cuilan looked at her son with heartache, and patted the dust off his clothes with a sob in her voice, "You silly child, look, I told you not to meddle in other people's business, but you wouldn't listen. Now look at all the trouble you've caused."
Lu Jiangting's eyes were red as if his blood vessels had burst. He was trembling with anger and said furiously, "It was a task given by our superiors at the time. We were worried that Fang Qing wouldn't be able to handle the shock and might do something foolish. Besides, it wasn't just me. There were several of us, men and women, and a psychologist. And it was only one night. How can you call it staying overnight every night? If you don't believe me, you can call the people who were there back then and ask them."
"Okay, okay, I suppose you've offered a weak explanation. Now, let me ask you, is it because you got involved with Fang Qing that your fiancée broke off the engagement?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"I……"
Just as he was about to speak, Wang Zhong said again, "Don't try to deny it. I've found out everything. People from all around say that your fiancée broke off the engagement because you were entangled with Fang Qing. I know who your fiancée is. Her name is Lin Yuyao. The girl who came to our house last time was also named Lin Yuyao. They gave us your address. I know they're also in Nancheng. If you try to deny it, I'll get her to testify."
Lu Jiangting was truly speechless this time.
Lu Jiangting knew perfectly well what Lin Yuyao was thinking when he asked her to testify.
They got to this point because Yuyao misunderstood his relationship with Fang Qing.
Lu Jiangting was now speechless.
"What do you want?" His tone softened.
"So what?" Wang Zhong spat and nudged Wang Jianguo beside him. "Jianguo, you tell us what we should do."
Wang Jianguo stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves.
Lu Jiangting looked at him and saw that his features did indeed resemble Wang Jianjun's.
The paternal lineage of this family all looks very similar.
In a flash, he saw Wang Jianjun again.
He vaguely remembered Jianjun saying that he had a good relationship with his younger brother.
For Jianjun's sake, as long as Wang Jianguo's conditions are not excessive, he will do his best to fulfill them.
"Brother Jiang Ting, after my brother sacrificed his life, did the organization provide him with a death compensation payment?"
Lu Jiangting nodded. "Yes, there is such a thing. What's wrong?"
Wang Jianguo and Wang Zhong exchanged glances.
Really.
How much money is there?
Lu Jiangting thought for a moment, "I don't remember the exact amount, but it's probably around three thousand in total."
"More than three thousand?" Wang Zhong roared, "You dare to swallow so much money?"
Lu Jiangting's expression changed: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I embezzle this money?"
"You didn't steal the money, did you?"
"Fang Qing collected the money on your behalf. How this money is distributed is your family matter. You yourselves don't even know the details, so how dare you ask me?"
Two people: "..."
"Once the matter is settled, I'll go back to my unit."
Wang Zhong took a deep breath and whispered to Wang Jianguo, "It seems that little bitch Fang Qing swallowed it."
Wang Jianguo's expression was complicated, and he did not express any opinion.
"Let's wait until Fang Qing comes back. When does she get off work?"
"I don't know," Lu Jiangting said defiantly.
Wang Zhong's lips twitched, and he said, "Hmph, we'll just wait here until she comes back."
"Okay, then let's wait for Fang Qing to come back before we talk about it."
The two of them sat down and stared at the family.
They agreed that they couldn't push them too hard all at once; they had to take it step by step.
Otherwise, if they start demanding money, a house, and a job, who can handle that? If you push them too far, they might resort to drastic measures, leading to a lose-lose situation where everyone suffers.
Therefore, their first step is to get Jianjun's death compensation.
Lu Cong felt that although his son hadn't handled the matter perfectly, it was acceptable. He would see what Fang Qing said when she got back.
Even after arriving here, Lu Jiangting's family still didn't know the real purpose of their visit, assuming that they had only come for the compensation money.
It must have been Fu Huaiyi who talked too much.
Of course, Lu Jiangting was also quite puzzled. He thought that Fang Qing would split the money with Wang Zhong, or that it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to take two-thirds. He really didn't expect that Fang Qing didn't give them a single penny.
Lu Jiangting frowned, thinking that if the money wasn't paid, then the money she spent on the shop wouldn't make sense.
Fang Qing had more than just this amount of money. Holding the urn, she tearfully recounted to the leader how a country woman with little education couldn't support her child. Old Wang, feeling sorry for her, organized a donation drive. People gave three or five yuan, while the more generous ones gave ten or twenty yuan. In total, they donated over a thousand yuan.
With the child support he provides for Chenchen, plus the living expenses he sends her every month, her daily expenses are more than enough.
In other words, if Fang Qing hadn't split the money with Jianjun's father, she wouldn't have lacked the funds to buy the shop.
Thinking of this, Lu Jiangting's face grew increasingly grim.
The room remained silent for a long time before Lu Cong suddenly spoke.
"Brother Wang, I'm really sorry, I'm not feeling well enough to get up and greet you."
Wang Zhong: "..." What did you entertain?
It's as if those who aren't in bed are treated as guests.
"You've been traveling for several days, you must be tired. Why don't you find a guesthouse to stay in first, and we can talk about it tomorrow?"
"What? You want to kick us out? Hmph, don't even think about it. We won't leave until we see Fang Qing."
"That's not what I meant. The main thing is that Fang Qing is working the night shift this month, and she won't get back until 11 or 12 o'clock."
"Huh?" The two were stunned.
Wang Jianguo asked, "What kind of shift is this? It's so tiring, and we have to work until 11 or 12 at night."
"No, you've misunderstood. She starts at four in the afternoon, which means you'll only be there when she leaves. If we had come half an hour earlier, we could have met her. Their night shift is from four to ten, and sometimes they work an hour later if there's a lot of work. That's only six or seven hours a day, which is much easier than Jiang Ting's shift. Jiang Ting has to work a full eight hours, and last year he worked overtime for more than ten hours every day, sometimes he couldn't even come home at night."
