Chapter 788 Women's Federation Mediation
"Your money? Aren't you dirt poor? Where did you get the money?"
"I got back the money I had with my parents."
"Huh? Didn't you say that your parents said they would only give you the money after you got married?"
"Yes, they used to think it was fine, and I thought it was fine too. But you know what? Foreigners don't do it like that at all. Adult foreigners manage their own money; only immature children can't manage their money."
Fu Huaiyi: "So what do you mean?"
Yi Yunshuo stroked his chin and said, "I think I need to grow up inside and out, and I need to become a real man."
Fu Huaiyi looked at him in surprise.
Yi Yunshuo said seriously, "This will make it easier for me to find a wife. Otherwise, if a girl hears that I hand over my salary to my parents, she will turn around and leave."
Fu Huaiyi agreed, "Putting everything else aside, what you said makes a lot of sense. You hand over your entire monthly salary to your parents, and you're penniless yourself. Do you know what Yao Yao said?"
What did Sister Lin say about me?
He said you're a mama's boy, and girls should never date a mama's boy.
Yi Yunshuo pouted, "Sister Lin is such a chatterbox. My parents said they'd pay me back."
"That's what you say, but the girl might not believe it. Don't think she's being gossipy; there's some truth to what she said."
He looked down at the cloth bag.
"What are you going to do now?"
"I'll go deposit it in the bank."
"Go ahead, why are you looking for me?"
"Come with me after get off work. It's so much money, I... I'm scared."
Fu Huaiyi slapped him on the head, "Look at you, so pathetic."
The camera made Yi Yunshuo gasp in shock.
Fu Huaiyi: "What's wrong with your head?"
Upon closer inspection, he saw a large lump in his hair.
"Were you beaten?"
Yi Yunshuo nodded.
"Who beat you up like this?"
“My dad beat me, and it was all for this money. They said I’d grown up and become independent. I talked to them about the boundaries between parents and children, and they scolded me for being brainwashed by my Western education and beat me. Fine, I’ll let them beat me, at least I got the money back.”
Difficult to comment.
How could he not know Yi Yunshuo's mouth?
When discussing boundaries with his parents, he inevitably used theories that are unacceptable to most Chinese people. He probably put it quite bluntly, no wonder he got a beating.
"So you took it all. Are your parents alright?"
“I left them some money, and they don’t lack money. My mother has a retirement pension, and my father is still working and has an income.”
After get off work, Fu Huaiyi drove him to the bank to deposit the money. Yi Yunshuo was usually very frugal and would eat and drink at Fu Huaiyi's place. He even borrowed Fu Huaiyi's second-hand bicycle. After Lin Yuyao bought him a car, Yi Yunshuo was basically the one driving his motorcycle.
Yi Yunshuo doesn't spend much money himself, but he has actually saved quite a bit of money since he started working.
Fu Huaiyi felt something was off.
No wonder he wanted to acknowledge him as his half-brother.
……
Lu Jiangting could no longer hide at his workplace. After Fang Qing had no way to see him, she actually went to the Women's Federation and the Children and Youth Foundation, which are also directly under the Women's Federation.
After Fang Qing embellished her tearful account, the Women's Federation intervened in the investigation, and Lu Jiangting can no longer hide from the situation.
Old Xu was also helpless. "Things have already come to this point, there's no point in me scolding you anymore. Go on, running away isn't the solution, let's resolve this properly."
Lu Jiangting's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, and he responded to the Women's Federation, deciding to accept their mediation this weekend.
That night, he wrote out an account book, recording the money he had spent on Fang Qing and Wang Chenchen over the years. He remembered everything he could, and there was nothing he could do about the things he couldn't remember.
Fortunately, his memory is better than most people's, so he probably didn't miss much.
"I heard you were the one who wanted custody of this child in the first place?"
Lu Jiangting nodded. "Yes."
“You have two copies of the divorce agreement. The other copy states that if Wang Chenchen’s custody is awarded to her mother, you will return the 3,500 yuan you used to buy the house to her mother, and you will bear all of Wang Chenchen’s school expenses.”
Lu Jiangting denied it on the spot, saying, "That's not true. There's only one copy of the divorce agreement."
Fang Qing retorted, "It's clearly..."
Lu Jiangting: "Do you have any evidence?"
Fang Qing choked.
Of course she didn't have one. She didn't even choose a second divorce agreement, so why would she keep it?
She was already burned as firewood.
The comrades from the Women's Federation glanced at the two of them and already knew what was going on.
Most likely they are, but if the woman has no evidence, then it can only be treated as if nothing happened.
Fang Qing: "Now that you're not going to support the child anymore, can you give me my money back?"
Lu Jiangting: "You still have the nerve to argue with me about money?"
He slammed the ledger he had worked on overnight in front of her, saying, "Take a look at this first, and see how much money you owe me."
Fang Qing took it and was dumbfounded.
This includes the money Lu Jiangting lent to Wang Jianjun, the money he used to help Wang Jianjun pay off his debts, and the money he lent to Fang Qing herself...
The small expenses included the living expenses he usually gave Fang Qing, and the clothes, schoolbags, and medical expenses he bought for Wang Chenchen, etc.
It was a long three-page document.
After the calculations were completed, she still had to pay Lu Jiangting several hundred yuan back.
Fang Qing angrily threw the account book on the table, "Why don't you mention the money I spent on your family during the years we were married?"
"Didn't I spend money on you? There are no records of the marriage in my ledger. If you want, I can add them."
Fang Qing's memory is nowhere near as good as Lu Jiangting's.
How could she possibly remember these old grievances?
All she remembered was the money she spent on treating her mother's eyes.
"I paid for all the money your mother spent on treating her eye."
"Oh, the money for treating my mother, which left her with only one eye. Tell me, how much did it cost?"
Fang Jing: "..." The way she said that made it sound like she had ruined her eyes.
Fang Qing suddenly felt that Lu Jiangting had changed a lot and was becoming more and more like his mean father.
From registration, examinations, surgery, and medication... she couldn't really remember the exact amount spent, but she estimated it to be more than that.
"Eight hundred...three."
"Eight hundred and thirty?" Lu Jiangting narrowed his eyes and said, "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll ask you to bring out the hospital bills, and we'll calculate it based on eight hundred and thirty. I'll deduct the amount on the bill, and let's forget about the odd change. I'll give you another five hundred, and we'll be even."
what?
"I gave you three thousand five hundred and used it to treat your mother's eyes, and you only give me five hundred back?"
Lu Jiangting didn't back down at all, and snorted coldly, saying, "Don't you have any idea how much money you've made? The money on this bill isn't all of it. If you push me too far, we'll go to court, and I'll make a calculation of every single penny I've spent on you."
"You... you've always given it to yourself willingly, it's not like I was chasing you for it, so why should you take it back?" Fang Qing said matter-of-factly.
