Chapter 18 He could never escape Fang Qing and her son for the rest of his life.
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"Tell your aunt the truth, and if you do a good job, your aunt will put in a good word for you."
To be honest, he hesitated.
Can I not help?
The thought of Wang Jianjun saving his life made him feel indebted to Fang Qing and her son for the rest of his life.
Even if the other party asked him to give up his life, he should.
“After Jianjun sacrificed his life, Chenchen lost his father. He’s still so young, Auntie, do you think I can just abandon them? If I don’t abandon them, am I even human?”
Auntie: "..."
Okay, she understands.
The aunt said, "What you said makes sense. It would be unreasonable for you to turn your back on someone. But this is something you owe them, not something Yuyao owes them. It wouldn't be right for me to drag Yuyao along to repay the debt."
The aunt left after she finished speaking; there was no point in trying to persuade her otherwise.
Because she realized that this was not something that could be explained in a few words. Fang Qing, that woman, now that she didn't have a man, wouldn't she cling to Lu Jiangting for the rest of her life?
Whoever marries him is doomed; no matter how good their conditions are, it's useless.
She doesn't have a daughter, and even if she did, she wouldn't want one.
"Hey, Auntie..." Didn't you promise to plead for me?
Lu Jiangting shook his head and continued walking towards Lin Yuyao's house.
Looking up, I saw Lin Yuyao standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Did she hear what I just said?
Lu Jiangting took a deep breath and walked towards Lin Yuyao.
"Yuyao, if it weren't for Jianjun, I would be the one who died in that explosion. So if I were to abandon them, I would be a terrible person, wouldn't you say?"
She had heard these words countless times in her past life.
That's a fact, and she can't refute it.
"You understand me, right?"
Lin Yuyao nodded. "I understand you."
Unfortunately, she was unwilling to let him drag her life into a quagmire.
But she didn't say that.
Because she decided to go with him to the military region to discuss their divorce.
Lu Jiangting thought she had finally come to her senses and was overjoyed. "Yuyao, what about the matter of accompanying the soldier that I told you about a few days ago? What have you thought about?"
Lin Yuyao nodded, "Okay, when are we leaving?"
Lu Jiangting was overjoyed. "Great! We'll leave the day after tomorrow. I'll go buy the tickets today."
Lin Yuyao didn't say anything, but only asked, "Do you have money?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"I...I'll think of a way."
Finally, Lu Jiangting borrowed some money from his older sister. Of course, although he got the money, he was also scolded severely by his older sister and brother-in-law.
It's over a thousand yuan; even if it's given to outsiders, it's still a pain for them.
It would be strange not to scold him.
After he bought the tickets, Lin Yuyao packed her luggage and went to the train station with him.
Both sets of parents came to see them off. Lin Yuyao's parents naturally didn't give Lu Jiangting's family a friendly look and kept telling their daughter all sorts of things.
Ye Lian whispered to her, "Take the money and rent a place to live on your own. Don't let him take advantage of you."
"Divorce is fine, as long as you keep your virginity, it won't count as a second marriage. If he tries to force himself on you, go to the authorities, understand?"
Lin Yuyao nodded. "I understand."
"besides……"
"Mother, you've said so much, and I've remembered it all. Have you remembered what I told you?"
"I remember, you mentioned asking your older brother to change jobs."
"Yes, that coal yard is too dangerous. Look at the news and newspapers, how many collapses there are."
"You'll have to work until the Chinese New Year. If you work until then, you'll get two extra months' salary."
"Okay, then stop working after the New Year."
Lin Yuyao thought nothing would happen during the New Year. In her memory, it would be around March or April of next year.
By the time she returned, Lu Jiangting's parents had already given her most of their instructions.
They pulled Lin Yuyao aside and said, "Yuyao, you two live a good life. Leave the debt collection to us. Don't worry, we'll definitely get that thousand-plus yuan back."
It was just a lie to fool her. In her previous life, she went to join Lu Jiangting's army even though they didn't have a wedding banquet. Lu Jiangting's parents never asked Fang Qing for money.
Because Lu Jiangting had told them that the money was intended for Wang Jianjun.
Later, she became pregnant in the family compound, and Lu Jiangting sent her back home for the Chinese New Year.
She never went there again after that. Fang Qing, who had lost everything in her business failure, took her son and went to seek refuge with Lu Jiangting.
He paid for a house for the mother and son. The child started primary school in the military region, because they were descendants of martyrs.
Whenever he had free time, Lu Jiangting would go to Fang Qing's house to help her with various tasks.
Fang Qing calls Lu Jiangting for every little thing, and Lu Jiangting has been there for her every call for decades.
They're more like a family.
Lin Yuyao, after giving birth, stayed in her hometown to recuperate.
As the child grew a little older, Lu Jiangting's father fell ill again, and his mother's eyesight deteriorated further.
She never accompanied the army again after that, serving them for more than ten years until they both passed away.
By then, her beauty had faded, and her feelings for Lu Jiangting had long since faded.
Lu Jiangting didn't mention the matter of accompanying the army, and she no longer dared to hope for it.
She wants to support her daughter who is in school and also support her daughter's business ventures.
This wasted time continued until Lu Jiangting retired.
Forget the past.
She stuck her head out the window to look at her parents, but she could still see Fang Qing and her son staring at them.
What bad luck.
As the train went further and further away, the figures of loved ones became blurred.
Lin Yuyao only looked away and rolled down the car window when she could no longer see anything.
She and Lu Jiangting sat at a two-seater table; she sat by the window, and Lu Jiangting sat by the aisle.
Seeing that she wasn't looking back anymore, Lu Jiangting spoke to her, "Yuyao, are you hungry?"
Lin Yuyao: "..." I'm hungry as soon as I get in the car. Haven't you eaten?
She didn't want to talk to him, so she covered her face with the scarf around her neck and turned her head away to sleep.
The train journey would take three days and three nights, and Lu Jiangting showered her with concern and care throughout the trip, but she ignored him completely.
With just over an hour to go, Lu Jiangting went to fetch water when the old lady across the street couldn't stand it anymore.
"Young lady, your boyfriend treats you very well. He's been taking care of you the whole way. He even stayed by your side while you slept, afraid to sleep himself. Why don't you ever give him a nice look?"
Lin Yuyao: "He took all the money in the house, including my dowry, and gave it to other women. How could I possibly treat her well?"
what?
The woman was astonished. "Really?"
Lin Yuyao remained silent, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep.
Seeing that Lu Jiangting had returned, the old lady stopped asking questions.
She looked him over and over again, noticing that the young man was tall and strong, and had a handsome face.
Such a spirited young man, and he treats his wife well. If he hadn't made a serious mistake, what wife would have the heart to give him the cold shoulder?
It seems to be true.
After getting off the train, Lu Jiangting took her onto a bus.
His military region is located in a developed city in the east, and he can get there by taking a few buses.
However, Lu Jiangting did not go directly to the family compound, but instead took her to a nearby town where they got off the car.
