PFC Chapter 387 He said he wanted a divorce?
Chapter 387 He said he wanted a divorce?
He didn't take it seriously, but Lu Jiangting didn't know that.
He thought that Lao Wang had taken his advice to heart, but he also thought that such a big matter might not be resolved in a short time.
I've been busy these past few days, let's talk about it in a few more days, maybe it'll be approved soon.
So he doesn't plan to go home.
He got paid that day and left work early, so he went home and just waited at the school gate.
Look at Wang Chenchen, it seems to be her parents picking her up from school.
When he arrived, Wang Chenchen hadn't finished school yet, but he saw that her parents had already arrived early.
I'm waiting under the tree across from the school.
Looking at his father's increasingly hunched back and how he struggled to walk with his cane, Lu Jiangting felt a pang of sadness.
"Dad, let me buy you a wheelchair."
Lu Cong waved his hand, "No, it'll cost money again, what a waste."
"It's okay, I just got paid. Dad, look, it's two hundred yuan."
Lu Cong still refused, "No need, my back has been hurting for the past few days. I haven't needed a wheelchair yet. Let's talk about it when I really can't walk anymore."
Lu Jiangting felt a pang of sadness; his back ached from the kick Fang Qing had given him that day.
Her father has cancer and doesn't know how long he has to live. How could she be so cruel as to attack a cancer patient? Isn't she afraid that if she didn't get enough force, she might just kick her father to death?
Isn't she afraid of worsening his condition?
How could Fang Qing do this?
This was completely different from the simple, weak, kind, and hardworking Fang Qing he remembered.
"Father, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. If... if I hadn't borrowed that money, if I hadn't broken off the engagement with Yuyao, you wouldn't have suffered like this. Yuyao is a good person, kind and gentle, she would never have done something like this to you."
Wang Cuilan, supporting Lu Cong, sighed repeatedly, "What's the use of saying all this now? Forget it, son, it's already like this. Just live a good life with Fang Qing."
"It won't work. I've already told Minister Wang that I want a divorce from Fang Qing."
The two were startled.
Lu Cong exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
Lu Jiangting nodded. "Yes, I've thought about it. Fang Qing and I can't get along. Being together was a mistake. We should get a divorce. It's better for her and Chenchen, for you all, and for me."
"Great, great, great!" Lu Cong exclaimed excitedly. "Jiang Ting, it's wonderful that you think this way."
Wang Cuilan: "What...what will we do if we get divorced? Who will take care of us?"
Her eyes haven't fully recovered yet. Once they are, are we going to expect her to become a caregiver and take care of the old man?
Back in my hometown, it's alright; we can cook with firewood.
But she really didn't dare use that gas stove here.
Lu Jiangting said, "Mom, I've thought about it. After the divorce, I'll pay for a caregiver to take care of you."
"Huh? How much does that cost per month?"
"I've inquired around; I can find one for fifty yuan by looking for an auntie nearby."
Wang Cuilan: "So many? No, no need to look anymore, I can do it myself. Once my eyes are better, I can take care of your father."
Upon hearing that it would cost so much money, she thought it would be better to do it herself.
Although that gas stove sounds scary, Fang Qing has been using it for so long and it's still working fine, hasn't it?
She was willing to learn in order to save that money.
“Mom, you’re not young anymore. It’s worth it to hire a nanny to take care of you for about fifty yuan.”
“Your father and I are perfectly fine, we don’t need a nanny to clean up after us, it’s such a waste of money.”
Lu Jiangting sighed, thinking to himself that his mother didn't know that this fifty-yuan nanny only cooked two meals and did laundry.
If you want someone to clean up your excrement and provide live-in care, it definitely won't cost this much.
However, he felt that as long as Fang Qing wasn't there to provoke him every now and then, his father would definitely live a few more years.
They've been able to take care of themselves these past few years, so hiring a caregiver like this is enough.
In a few years, when my parents are older and things really aren't going well, and he's already weathered the worst financial period, we'll be able to hire a better caregiver.
But my mother can't accept it; she thinks it's too expensive.
At this moment, the old man spoke up again: "Old woman, Jiang Ting is right. We're not young anymore. Spending fifty yuan to hire a housekeeper who can cook for us for a month is worth it. Look at Fang Qing, she spends fifty yuan to buy a dress and spends all day making a ruckus at home. I'd rather spend that money to hire a housekeeper."
She thought the old man made sense, but what about fifty yuan?
She saw how hard it was for her son to work and earn money, and she felt sorry for him.
Very conflicted.
At this moment, Lu Jiangting said again, "Mother, divorce can't be done in a day or two. Let's talk about it later."
Ugh!
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
The school was relieved as they spoke, and Lu Jiangting said to Lu Cong and his wife, "Dad, Mom, you can wait here. There are fewer people here. I'll go get you."
"Row."
He didn't have to wait long before Wang Chenchen arrived.
Wang Chenchen was very happy to see him, took his hand, and told him about the fun things at school.
Lu Jiangting liked him very much. Seeing his happy appearance, he couldn't help but think of Wang Jianjun.
Wang Jianjun was a quiet person who didn't like to smile. Looking back, he seemed to have never seen such a smile on Wang Jianjun's face.
He knows why.
Because Wang Jianjun's biological mother died early, his father remarried.
With a stepmother comes a stepfather. His childhood was unhappy, and he suffered a lot, so of course he couldn't smile.
Chenchen lost his father, and his situation was too similar to Jianjun's back then. He couldn't let Chenchen follow in Jianjun's footsteps.
If he divorces Fang Qing and Fang Qing remarries, will the new husband treat Chenchen well?
Lu Jiangting jolted awake, then repeatedly told himself that he couldn't think about these things.
Fang Qing may not remarry.
Even if Fang Qing remarries, she can't let Chenchen suffer; her parents are different from Jianjun's.
Putting aside those negative emotions, Lu Jiangting supported his father, Wang Chenchen held the hand of Wang Cuilan, whose eyesight was poor. Without Fang Qing, the four of them looked quite harmonious.
Lu Jiangting stopped at the alley entrance and said, "Dad, Mom, I'll stop here. I have to go back to work."
Lu Cong and Wang Cuilan both knew what was going on, so naturally they didn't stop him.
But Wang Chenchen suddenly called out to him, "Uncle Lu."
"What's wrong?" Lu Jiangting asked, looking down.
"Uncle Lu, do you want to divorce my mother?"
Lu Jiangting: "..." How did he know?
Yes, he was there when they had such a big argument that day.
Lu Jiangting squatted down and said, "Chenchen, no matter what happens between your mother and me, I will always be your Uncle Lu, and I will always take care of you."
Tears streamed down Wang Chenchen's face. "Uncle Lu, please don't divorce my mom, okay? Mom said she knows she was wrong. She'll be more frugal in the future and treat Grandpa and Grandma better. She'll share your joys and sorrows, and we'll live a good life together."
He felt that Fang Qing must have taught him to say that, so he just smiled and patted his head, saying, "Chenchen, you're still young and don't understand some things, but you'll understand later. Go back and tell your mother that I can't live with her anymore, not because she hit Grandpa, and not because of money."
