Chapter 567 Still Wants Lu Jiangting to Pay for This
Wang Zhong retorted angrily, "How can you talk like that? Isn't Fang Qing your daughter-in-law now?"
Lu Cong said slowly, "She is our daughter-in-law, but that money was incurred before she married Jiang Ting. It was a premarital debt, so of course it has nothing to do with us."
"Hey, are you being unreasonable? Go ask around the surrounding villages, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Since your family married her, you naturally have to take responsibility for her debts."
Lu Cong: "Brother Wang, this southern city is different from our mountain village. Here, the opinions of the surrounding villages don't count; only the law counts. If you think I'm wrong, you can sue us and see who the judge decides to pay this money."
Wang Zhong knew nothing about these things. As Lu Cong explained them one by one, he was completely bewildered.
"Jianguo?" He wanted to ask his youngest son and hear his opinion.
Wang Jianguo wasn't much more knowledgeable than him, and he couldn't make up his mind either.
But he remembered that Fu Huaiyi and the others also lived nearby. Should he try to find him?
Ask for his opinion?
Seeing that the two of them were not speaking, Lu Cong continued to speak.
"Brother Wang, you have other grandchildren, don't you?"
Wang Zhong: "Of course, I have a grandson and a granddaughter."
"You're so lucky! I heard you live in the mountains. It must be inconvenient for your child to go to school, right?"
"Fortunately, she's in kindergarten now, and there's one in our village. It's just a bit of a hassle to get her into primary school."
Lu Cong expressed his understanding, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about this, you take your grandchildren and move into the house in Fangqing Town."
This……
Does that mean the house was given to them?
Fang Qing was unhappy and somewhat anxious.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Cong glared at him, silencing him.
Fang Qing was unhappy, and Wang Zhong was even more unhappy.
“Why would I live in that house? I was just saying that. It was left to Chenchen by Jianjun. We don’t want it.”
Lu Cong: "Let the two children study in the good schools in town, so that they can go to university like Jianjun and have a bright future."
Wang Zhong: "..."
Wang Jianguo: "..."
You think you can just fob me off like that? You're dreaming.
Lu Cong continued, "It's all left by Jianjun for your Wang family's grandson anyway, so it doesn't matter who lives there, right?"
Wang Jianguo laughed and said, "Uncle, we don't want the house, we want the money."
Fang Qing finally realized what Lu Cong meant.
“Jianjun borrowed money to buy that house. The money that was due to you was used to pay off the debt for that house. You don’t have the money, but if you want the house, I’ll give you the keys and you can move in.”
After saying that, Fang Qing took out her keys.
This put Wang Zhong and Wang Jianguo in a passive position.
Their goal wasn't to live in that dilapidated house.
Wang Jianguo said, "Dad, let's go back and discuss it."
Wang Zhong nodded and said, "Alright, Brother Lu, we need to go back and discuss this important matter."
"Alright, you can discuss it slowly."
The two returned to the guesthouse and began to ponder the matter.
"What are we going to do now? They're trying to get rid of us with that house." Wang Jianguo stroked his chin.
The old man doesn't know that Wang Chenchen is his child, so he might compromise.
But he couldn't compromise.
That house belongs to Wang Chenchen, so it's practically his.
Fang Qing wants to use his house to pay off her debts; he's dreaming.
Wang Zhong said, "It sounds like they really have no money left. Why don't we sell our house back home? We can get more than two thousand yuan for it, so it's not a loss."
Wang Jianguo: "Dad, are you stupid? Whose house is that?"
"It's Fang Qing's."
Wang Jianguo rolled his eyes at him. "What Fang Qing? That belongs to Chenchen. It's... it was left to Chenchen by my brother. Whose child is Chenchen? He's our Wang family's child, your eldest grandson. Your eldest grandson's house is our house. They're trying to use our house to compensate our family."
Wang Zhong suddenly realized, "Hey, we almost fell for that old bastard's trick. It's true, that old codger wants to use our house to compensate us."
"Right? Even if we really take that house and sell it, won't your grandson hate us when he grows up?"
Wang Zhong nodded hastily, then became extremely angry.
"That old bastard, that's a vicious move. He's trying to sow discord between me and my grandson."
He can ignore the child, but he can't turn him into an enemy.
This calculation is like putting money in one pocket and putting it in another; they're really dreaming.
"Jianguo, what do we do now?"
"Let me find Fu Huaiyi first."
He looked around the guesthouse; it was fine for two or three days, but definitely not for long-term stays.
They are fighting a protracted war, their goal being to stay here forever.
He felt he should rent a place nearby, just like Fang Qing and the others.
Wang Jianguo told his father about his plans.
Wang Zhong nodded, agreeing with his son's reasoning.
They've come and don't plan to leave. Finding a place to stay won't be easy, so renting a place to live is the priority. Otherwise, they won't be able to stay in this guesthouse for long before they run out of money.
Fang Qing, on the other hand, also looked worried.
"Dad, what should we do? Judging from their expressions, they won't leave until they get the money."
Lu Cong snorted coldly, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Let me tell you, Jiang Ting is broke. If we had money, we could have moved into a new house. It's because we're broke that we're living here."
We'll run out of money after a simple renovation of the house. We can't all move in and sleep on the floor, can we? The weather is still a bit cold, and we can't stand it.
We'll need at least two beds and a dining table before we can move.
They were almost starving themselves, where would they get the money to give Fang Qing?
Fang Qing hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Father, why don't you call Jiang Ting back and have him borrow some from a friend? Let's get rid of them first."
She was terrified by the way Wang Jianguo looked at her. He was incredibly daring; back when Wang Jianjun was still at home, he dared to drag her into the sweet potato ditch and do *that* to her.
She suspected that Wang Jianguo would force her again, but she didn't know when.
Leaving him here is terrifying; her intuition tells her that something bad is bound to happen sooner or later.
She really was broke. It's true that her family extorted money from her back then, just not as much as they had.
She spent the rest of the money.
Because she had never seen so much money in her life, she had never even touched a ten-yuan coin before Wang Jianjun brought her out.
When Lu Jiangting suddenly gave her such a large sum of money, she couldn't control her desires and went to the city to spend it lavishly.
She experienced things she never dared to imagine before, and ate everything she had never eaten before, spending several hundred yuan in half a month.
So now she really has no money.
However, Lu Cong and Wang Cuilan did not believe it at all, thinking that she must have secretly hidden at least a thousand yuan, just enough for Wang Zhong.
She refused to take it, hoping to force them to take it.
