Chapter 329 The Days Must Be Endured
Fang Qing was left speechless.
Just as she was about to argue, Lu Jiangting said, "We're short of money right now, there's nothing we can do. But don't worry, we'll get a big bonus after this project is completed. Once we get the bonus, we won't be short of money anymore. If you don't want to work then, just quit. I can support you."
These words silenced Fang Qing's complaints.
Well, for the sake of a better future, she'll just have to bear with it.
Think back to your childhood. You were never full or warm enough. You had endless chores to do while hungry, and you were beaten every day.
But she still gritted her teeth and endured it.
At that time, she told herself to endure it and let Wang Jianjun take her away from that mountain.
After she leaves, she will never have to suffer again, never have to suffer again for the rest of her life.
Little did anyone know that Wang Jianjun was unlucky and died young.
She thought she was going to suffer again, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and heaven sent Lu Jiangting, this sucker, to her side, so she could enjoy happiness again.
With a lot of scheming and a bit of luck, she finally managed to marry Lu Jiangting and be able to openly eat and drink with him.
Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn when Lu Jiangting's two children arrived.
Fortunately, both of them were old and in poor health, and wouldn't live much longer.
There's hope for the future; just get through it.
After being persuaded and coaxed by Lu Jiangting, Fang Qing finally nodded in agreement.
“Okay, I’ll just have to bear with it. We’re a couple, and if we have any difficulties, we’ll get through them.”
Lu Jiangting was very pleased. "Yes, I'm glad you think that way. Fang Qing, thank you. Don't worry, I will remember the suffering you've endured for me."
Fang Qing was delighted to hear this, knowing that Lu Jiangting was a man who would repay kindness.
Without Wang Jianjun's kindness, she wouldn't be where she is today.
"You're being too formal. We're husband and wife. Your parents are my parents too. From ancient times to the present, it's always been the daughter-in-law's duty to take care of her parents-in-law."
She made herself act like a traditional woman.
What a coincidence! Lu Jiangting is a traditional man, and he also thinks this is how it should be.
Hearing Fang Qing's words, he was very pleased with her understanding. Then he lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "But you're right. Four hours of work is indeed not long, but it is indeed tiring. And this time is not good either. If it is not arranged well, you really won't have time to rest."
Fang Qing was touched, thinking that he had finally realized what was going on.
"Yes, my working hours aren't long, but I have to work continuously to reach four hours. If I work slowly, it might take five or six hours to finish. Just think about those two long streets, there are dozens of trash cans alone..."
She went on and on about the details of sweeping the floor.
Lu Jiangting didn't like listening, but he still insisted on listening to the end.
After she finished speaking, Lu Jiangting said, "How about this, don't make breakfast. I'll talk to my parents later and they can buy it outside. Don't worry about Chenchen's school either. My dad likes to take a walk in the morning and evening, and he'll pick her up and drop her off while he's out. You can make lunch and dinner, what do you think?"
Fang Qing counted the time on her fingers.
Lu Jiangting was already calculating for her.
"You'll be back around seven in the morning, right?"
She came back at seven o'clock because she had to take care of Wang Chenchen, cook for him, and take him to school.
"Yes," she said directly without further explanation.
“Then you won’t be able to sleep even if you come back at seven o’clock. Chenchen will definitely make a fuss when she gets up. You can’t be quiet with a child.”
Fang Qing frowned and nodded.
"Could you come later?"
"No, we definitely need to clean up the day's garbage before 7 o'clock, the garbage truck is waiting to collect it."
"Then let's just switch to the evening. You can come back to sleep in the early morning and sleep straight until noon. If you fall asleep at seven in the morning, you won't be easily woken up. If you just fall asleep, you'll definitely be disturbed and unable to sleep."
She had thought about it before, but she chose to go in the morning because of Lu Jiangting.
Knowing he'd be home that evening, I didn't want to miss any time with him.
Actually, if she had gone to bed earlier last night, she would have gotten enough sleep.
Last night was just a bit special.
Thinking that Lu Jiangting hadn't come back the night before last, she figured he would be back last night, which is why she hadn't slept.
I kept waiting, but the longer I waited, the more awake I became, and I didn't fall asleep until almost midnight.
Then she had to get up before 3 a.m. to sweep the streets, which meant she didn't get any sleep yesterday.
She was exhausted and sleepy, but the old man still made her cook, which is why she got so angry.
"If I go in the evening, I can arrive at the earliest around nine. The night market closes at ten, so I can sweep up what I can first. But that means I have to leave home around eight."
Lu Jiangting: "That's good. If we move quickly, we might be back before midnight."
"But haven't you been busy lately? If I go out at that time, I'm afraid I'll miss you."
Lu Jiangting suddenly realized why Fang Qing was being difficult.
Lu Jiangting explained, "We'll be very busy lately, so I won't be able to come back. I went to ask Lao Wang for leave today, and he gave me a good scolding. I had to plead with him before he agreed that I wouldn't have to work overtime."
Fang Qing: "Why are you suddenly so busy? You're not... lying to me, are you?"
Lu Jiangting sighed, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Why would I lie to you about this? We can't even get through on the phone now, and we're not receiving visitors anymore. Don't you know that?"
That's true.
“It’s not just me, Fu Huaiyi can’t go back every day either. If you don’t believe me, go ask him.”
That's true. She remembered that Fu Huaiyi had said this morning that they were very busy and were not receiving visitors, and that they had also cut off phone calls during working hours.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come back when I have time. My parents are still alive, and their health isn't good. If I get off work early, how could I not come back to see them?"
That last statement does make some sense.
It seems that she is overthinking.
Fang Qing thought for a moment and said, "I believe you, of course I believe you. Jiang Ting, so tonight..."
I'm sleeping at home tonight.
"Okay, then I'll go make the bed."
"I'll do it, you go cook."
"Row."
Upon hearing that he was staying at home tonight, Fang Qing became much more efficient at her work.
She does have her merits; she's a very good cook and an excellent tidyer.
Even with poor conditions, she could still make the house cozy and exquisite, and the food she cooked was delicious and visually appealing.
This is her advantage; nourishing a man's stomach is also a good way to win him over.
While she was cooking, Lu Jiangting went to his parents and told them about the results he and Fang Qing had discussed.
“I did the math, and if Fang Qing takes care of you three meals a day, her rest time is indeed too fragmented. If she doesn’t get enough rest and gets sick from exhaustion, there will be no one to take care of you and Chenchen. I’m probably going to be very busy with work for the next year or two, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you.”
So I discussed it with her, and we agreed that she could go out to work in the evenings and come back to sleep around 1 or 2 AM. Please don't disturb her around 6 or 7 AM. Dad, why don't you take Mom and Chenchen out for breakfast? She'll get up to cook lunch for you. What do you think?
