Chapter 310 Lu Cong's Cancer Came Early
"What illness is it?"
Ye Lian: "Why are you suddenly concerned about him? Whatever his illness is, it has nothing to do with us."
"No, I ran into Fang Qing looking for a job today and I was curious. Lu Jiangting earns a lot of money. Although she has stopped receiving subsidies, she still receives child support for her son, so she doesn't need to look for a job."
"Oh, I see. I heard from Wang Cuilan that Lu Jiangting sent the money back to them for the hospital stay. It seems that Lu Cong has lung cancer, which is incurable, and it has cost a lot of money."
It really came ahead of schedule.
In his past life, he was also diagnosed with lung cancer, but it was discovered two years later, in its early stages.
Lin Yuyao insisted that he quit smoking, and she wouldn't budge an inch on that point.
What's rare is that Lu Jiangting agrees with her on this matter.
Others advised Lu Cong to quit smoking, but he refused no matter what.
Lu Jiangting said that if he didn't quit smoking, he wouldn't go to work either, and would just come back to stay with him.
These words frightened Lu Cong, and he finally quit smoking.
Later, he was neither alive nor dead, and it took him several more years to finally die.
No wonder Fang Qing wanted to come out and look for a job.
It seems that Lu Jiangting's savings over the past six months have probably run out again.
Oh, now Fang Qing can't enjoy the good life with him anymore; she has to go out and work.
I told you, they are blessed to have each other.
……
Fang Qing had been looking for a job for several days but hadn't been able to find one, and her money was dwindling.
Lu Jiangting hadn't given her money in a long time; his father was sick with cancer, and a lot of money had to be spent.
She knew, but there was nothing she could do.
The rent is 20 yuan a month, and she and Chenchen's living expenses are all supported by Chenchen's child support.
She earned a few more dollars this year; originally, she and Chenchen had a combined total of fifty-two dollars.
But ever since she got married, her share of the monthly subsidy of ten yuan has disappeared.
Originally, only the children received this; this extra ten yuan was something the leader had to negotiate for her.
The authorities took into account that the child was young, had lost his father, and needed his mother to take care of him.
His mother takes care of him, so she can't go out to work, hence the extra allowance she receives.
However, this subsidy will stop when she remarries or her children grow up.
Therefore, their current living expenses are 42 yuan per month.
The rent alone is twenty.
It wasn't enough at all; she had been using her savings to make up the difference.
But her savings were finite; every penny spent was a penny less. This couldn't go on forever, so she had no choice but to find work.
As for asking Lu Jiangting for money? Forget it, Lu Jiangting is in a hurry to get his money from her.
His father is sick and needs money to save his life.
She cried about being broke and said she had no money, so he borrowed from others.
Fang Qing felt distressed whenever she thought about these upsetting things.
After picking her child up from school, she also bought some leftover vegetables at the nearby market.
At this hour, what good dishes could they possibly have left if they haven't sold out?
These are all the leftovers that other people picked over, the ones they couldn't sell.
Yes, it's not that they weren't sold out, it's that they couldn't be sold.
The advantage was that it was cheap, only one cent. They gave her the rest of the food, and she couldn't finish it even after three days.
Seeing that the oil in the oil container at home was almost empty, Fang Qing only added a little bit of oil when cooking.
It wasn't enough, so I added some water.
The vegetables were cooked, but unfortunately, the added water made them taste like boiled pig feed, which wasn't very tasty.
Wang Chenchen pouted and poked at her rice with her chopsticks, refusing to eat.
Fang Qing frowned and asked, "How did your mother teach you?"
Wang Chenchen didn't dare to poke it anymore, put down her chopsticks and said, "Mom, it doesn't taste good."
"We have to eat it even if it doesn't taste good. We're struggling financially right now, so this is all we can eat."
"When is Uncle Lu coming back? I want Uncle Lu to take me out for some delicious food."
She knew that Lu Jiangting had been quite busy lately.
However, she also knew that even if Lu Jiangting came back now, he wouldn't have the money to cook good food for them.
"I don't know, just eat your food and ignore him."
Wang Chenchen looked at Fang Qing strangely.
"Mom, did you have a fight with Uncle Lu?"
quarrel?
She does want to argue.
But she can't even see anyone, so where can she go to argue?
She could go to the military base to find him, but Old Wang said they were busy with their missions and couldn't receive outsiders.
She couldn't see Lu Jiangting during work hours; if she went, she would only see Lao Wang.
On her first visit, Old Wang asked her a few questions with concern.
After a couple more visits, Old Wang became impatient.
She figured it out, so she decided not to bother anyone.
"Eat up, Chenchen! Men are unreliable, so Mom can only rely on you. You better make something of yourself and earn lots of money in the future."
Wang Chenchen nodded eagerly, "Okay, when I grow up, I'll make lots of money for Mom to spend."
Fang Qing then smiled and said, "Good boy, eat more, the more you eat, the taller you'll grow."
As the mother and son were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Fang Qing paused for a moment, then asked, "Who is it?"
"I."
Ok?
Why would Lu Jiangting come so late?
Fang Qing was puzzled, but she still hurriedly stood up, tidied her hair and clothes, and happily went to open the door.
"Jiang Ting, are you done with your work?"
"No, I'm not working overtime today, so I came over."
"Oh, I see. Have you eaten yet?"
"I've already eaten, this..." He stopped abruptly when he saw the boiled vegetables on the table.
"Is this what you're eating?"
Fang Qing's eyes lit up. She thought to herself that the boiled vegetables she made today would actually come in handy.
Actually, she wasn't so poor that she had to eat boiled vegetables, after all, she still had savings.
What a coincidence! I spent the whole day looking for a job and forgot to buy groceries.
After picking Chenchen up, she went to the market and happened to meet a vegetable vendor who offered to give her the rest of the vegetables for one cent, so she bought them because they were cheap.
But it's true that there's not much oil left.
Fang Qing sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Dad is sick, and we need money for everything at home, so let's be frugal."
Lu Jiangting frowned and said, "I didn't ask you for money, I'll borrow it from someone else."
"I know, but I thought I couldn't help you much, and I didn't want to add to your burden at this critical juncture."
"What about Chenchen's money? Doesn't he receive child support every month?"
"Yes, but that little bit of money isn't enough to do anything."
"Didn't the child support payment increase this year?" Lu Jiangting said coldly.
Fang Qing was momentarily speechless, and her tone became somewhat intense.
"Yes, it has gone up, but only by a few yuan. Now it's 42 yuan a month."
"Why is it forty-two yuan? I remember you used to have forty-eight yuan."
Fang Qing's lips twitched.
He's keeping such a close eye on my meager savings.
“It used to be 48 yuan because the higher-ups considered that Chenchen was young and I had to take care of him, so I couldn’t work. They gave me an extra 10 yuan for childcare. We haven’t received this since we got married. Last year it was 38 yuan, and this year it increased by 4 yuan, so now it’s 42 yuan.”
Lu Jiangting swayed slightly.
