After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 488 I'm the one who has it the hardest.

Lu Jiangting: "..."

“We need to eat and drink too, don’t we? How can we let her spend money? It would sound terrible if word got out.”

"Let her say what she wants, I'm not afraid. Even if I control your salary, let's see who can do anything to me."

Lu Jiangting was speechless.

Lu Cong continued, “I’m telling you, this is what she deserves, this is what she owes us. If it weren’t for her, your mother and I would still be in our rural hometown. We would have food from our own land, so we wouldn’t have spent any money. She forced your mother and me to leave our hometown and come here to live, so she has to be responsible for your mother and me’s food and drink.”

"Sigh!" Lu Jiangting sighed and said, "Even if what you say makes sense, Father, she told me that she doesn't have enough money to feed and drink the whole family."

"Bullshit! Her monthly salary plus child support for Chenchen is over a hundred yuan. We live on meager rations every day and only spend a few yuan. Where did that hundred yuan go?"

"There are several mouths to feed in this family."

Lu Cong pursed his lips, looking at his son's expression. He was truly someone who would worry about even if he died.

“Son, do you have no concept of money at all? Go out and ask around, there are plenty of people who don’t even earn a hundred yuan a month, and they still have to support their whole families. She doesn’t have to pay for my medical expenses, she doesn’t have to pay for Chenchen’s schooling, and your mother and I are buying Chenchen’s clothes and shoes now. What’s she spending money on that a hundred yuan a month isn’t enough? Son, she’s just making excuses to lie to you.”

"This……"

"Son, don't you know what kind of person Fang Qing is? Don't even mention giving her fifty, even if you gave her all of it, she could still make her clean, believe it or not?"

These words left Lu Jiangting speechless, because Fang Qing was exactly that kind of person.

Memories from the past resurfaced before my eyes.

Fang Qing always claimed to be broke, broke, and would call him, asking for money under various pretexts.

I used to think it was hard for her to raise a child alone, but now I realize that I'm the one who has it the hardest.

That's it. Fang Qing's current suffering is entirely of her own making. She has exhausted all trust, and now that her father doesn't believe her, there's nothing he can do.

……

As the weather got hotter, it was finally time for Lin Yuyao and the others to film on location.

Fu Huaiyi was very reluctant to part, clinging to her, which annoyed Lin Yuyao.

"Didn't I tell you before? For my first film, I have to keep a close eye on it from start to finish."

"I know, but we haven't been apart since we got married."

Lin Yuyao thought to herself, "You'll get used to traveling for work so often from now on."

She bent down to organize her suitcase.

Fu Huaiyi nudged her from behind again, saying, "You said you'd be back in ten days."

"understood."

Why are you being so dismissive? Don't you love me anymore?

Lin Yuyao was both amused and exasperated. She turned around, cupped his face in her hands, and said, "Look at yourself now. You're nothing like you used to be."

"Wow, you really have changed."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Okay, once this movie makes money, I'll buy you a car."

Lin Yuyao and Chen Bingzhi both left, leaving Song Qin to oversee things in the southern part of the city.

Due to the high intensity of her work, she had to rely on coffee to stay alert.

That day, she bought a cup of coffee from the coffee shop across the street and sat down in the bookstore downstairs to read and drink it. She heard Zhou Jing complaining that it's not easy to find a reliable person these days.

Song Qin glanced at the notice at the door and said, "Your way of recruiting has certain limitations, so it's difficult to find satisfactory people. How about this: if any of the people who apply to my place have a suitable job for you, I'll ask around and see if they're willing to take the job."

Zhou Jing knew that their publishing house and film and television company recruited people through newspapers and monthly magazines, targeting people all over the country.

"Of course, but the money... our boss didn't say she would pay. She doesn't even manage the shop anymore."

"What are you talking about? Why would I need to pay you? Given Miss Fu's relationship with our boss, I can't possibly charge you this money."

That's what they say, but Zhou Jing has to agree to it first.

She needs to hire people mainly because Luo Yanni has been admitted to school and will need to register there in September.

Once she leaves, they will be short-staffed.

In addition, Liu Yihuan is pregnant and should not overexert herself.

If the pregnancy looks good, you can still work; if the pregnancy doesn't look good, you might have to quit your job.

If two of them suddenly leave, this shop will have to close down.

The boss doesn't care whether the business can stay open or not; she still needs this job to make a living.

After Song Qin went upstairs, Luo Yanni walked up to Zhou Jing and said timidly, "Sister Zhou, I'm sorry."

Zhou Jing smiled and helped her smooth her messy hair at her temples.

"Silly girl, what are you saying? It's a good thing to be able to go to school. You got in, which shows how hard you've worked, and I'm happy for you."

Luo Yanni was deeply moved.

Zhou Jing added, "You must strive even harder in the future and get into a good university."

Luo Yanni nodded emphatically, "I will."

"That's right, you have to live a good life and show your biased parents that the child they least favored is the most promising."

"Sister Zhou, thank you."

"You're welcome. The money I saved for you is all here with me. You can take it whenever you want."

"No, no, I have nowhere to put it. It would be a problem if my mom found it. Sister Zhou, could I keep it with you? I'll come back for some living expenses when I need them."

"Sigh!" Zhou Jing sighed and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for you. I'll keep track of how much you take from now on."

Unable to rely on their own parents, the only one they could rely on was a stranger.

The idea they initially suggested to Liu Yihuan was to rent a house nearby first, and then discuss marriage after her husband compromised and bought his own house nearby.

After nearly a year of stalemate, her husband forced her in-laws to compromise.

After selling their old, dilapidated apartment where they had to use a public toilet to go to the bathroom, the couple used their savings from many years to buy a small two-bedroom apartment nearby.

Although it's also a second-hand house, it's much better than the old, dilapidated apartment my in-laws prepared.

They plan to move in after the house has been simply renovated.

The house is not far from Liu Yihuan's workplace, just two bus stops away.

However, her husband's commute to work is far away; it takes more than an hour each way by bus.

Fortunately, he had a beat-up motorcycle, so he didn't have to stop and go around or take detours. He could get home in less than half an hour, which was acceptable.

We have a home now, and now we have a child, so life has finally settled down.

Normally it's summer vacation now, but Lin Ping still has more than 20 days of training time before his vacation starts in August.

Before taking her to training, he called Lin Yuyao's home.

Lin Yuyao wasn't home; Fu Huaiyi answered the phone.

"Your sister isn't here; she went south to film a TV series."

"That explains it. I called once around 6 o'clock, once around 7 o'clock... and finally got through at 10 o'clock."

"What do you want to say? I'll forward it for you later."
