Chapter 464 is finished, that's it.
"What else did you hear the elderly folks say?"
"Hey, that's a great talk."
Zhou Jing was very excited and vividly recounted the gossip that the elderly people were spreading.
It is said that Lu Jiangting has been going back every day since he fought with the man surnamed Yang that night.
This is not normal.
Because the neighbors around them would hide behind their windows every day to observe them.
They observed that when Fang Qing was home, Lu Jiangting would not come home.
Lu Jiangting only comes back every day when Fang Qing is not around.
Fang Qing is at home now, but he comes back every day, which is very abnormal.
They said it was all for the purpose of coming back to keep an eye on Fang Qing.
Fang Qing and Yang Guangzong must be having an affair, that's why Lu Jiangting comes back every day to keep an eye on them.
Not only was Lu Jiangting keeping an eye on her, but they also noticed that Lu Jiangting's parents were constantly watching Fang Qing.
They used to come back and rest after dropping their children off at school.
Now, after dropping the children off at school, the old man rests at home, while the old woman sits on a small stool at the entrance of the alley, waiting for Fang Qing to get off work.
Even when she went to the market to buy groceries, the old lady insisted on coming along.
With them keeping such a close eye on her, who would believe there's nothing going on?
"And there's something even stranger. Fang Qing is supposed to be on the early shift, starting at four in the morning and sweeping until ten. Guess what? Now she's leaving home at one or two in the morning, or even earlier. Do you think she's going to sweep the streets?"
Lin Yuyao was incredibly surprised. "Really?"
She remembered that Fang Qing was a lazy person; it was simply impossible for her to go sweep the streets several hours in advance.
"It's true, absolutely true. The old lady who lives in front of their house couldn't sleep at night, so she kept an eye on their house. She said it herself, she saw it with her own eyes. What she meant was that Fang Qing took advantage of the fact that the whole Lu family was asleep, went to find the man surnamed Yang and slept with him again, and then went to sweep the street."
"Tsk tsk, Fang Qing really has it tough. She takes care of the elderly couple at home during the day, serves that man surnamed Lu for the first half of the night, then goes to serve another man in the middle of the night, and finally sweeps the streets for the second half. Honestly, I have to say, Fang Qing really has it tough."
Lin Yuyao had a horrified expression on her face.
Is it really that outrageous, or is the old lady's imagination just out of this world?
No matter how energetic she is, it's impossible to work 24/7. Besides, in Lin Yuyao's impression, Fang Qing is a lazy person.
Of course, she would still endure it in order to achieve her goal.
So what exactly made her endure it?
Lin Yuyao didn't believe it; it was too outrageous.
However, Zhou Jing had already believed what the old folks said and thought that Fang Qing had cheated on her husband and served two men in one night.
Finally, he patted Lin Yuyao on the shoulder and laughed, "What do you call this? Karma. That guy surnamed Lu wronged you back then, and now his wife wronged him. Hehe, isn't that satisfying?"
If that's true, of course it's satisfying.
But that's obviously not true.
But... ultimately, their lives weren't easy, so she still felt relieved.
Zhou Jing left in a hurry after finishing her conversation; she still had to go back to cook.
That evening, Lin Yuyao told Fu Huaiyi about it, and he also found it very strange.
Since that old lady said she saw Fang Qing leave at one or two in the morning, it must be true.
But she doesn't start work until four o'clock, why is she going so early?
Although the nights aren't as freezing as in the dead of winter, it's still quite cold in early spring when the weather is unpredictable. What can you do if you're not sleeping in the middle of the night?
None of them guessed that this was one of Fang Qing's methods of manipulating Lu Jiangting.
It was tough, but she was willing to endure it to achieve her goal.
She knew Lu Jiangting felt uncomfortable at home, so without him having to say anything, she took the initiative to leave early and give him the bed, just to avoid suspicion.
Of course, after a few days of perseverance, she also felt unwell and kept gritting her teeth and enduring it.
Finally, on this day, things took a turn for the better.
That evening, as she changed her clothes and prepared to go out, Lu Jiangting stopped her.
"Don't go, go back to sleep."
Fang Qing's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Is this finally the way he feels sorry for me?"
"That bed is too small, there's not enough room for you to sleep in it," Fang Qing said considerately, suppressing her excitement.
"You should go to sleep. You work hard during the day, and you can't afford to not get enough rest."
These past few days, not only Fang Qing has been suffering, but Lu Jiangting has also been struggling with this dilemma.
He was a conflicted and indecisive person to begin with. He felt that he should let go of the past and live a good life with Fang Qing, but he was also troubled by the fact that he couldn't do it.
Seeing that Fang Qing was deliberately avoiding him, he was glad that he could just let things continue like this.
However, a few words from Fu Huaiyi this morning reminded him that Fang Qing wouldn't be able to hold on if things continued like this.
He can't be so selfish.
"You go back to sleep, I'm going back to my dorm."
Fang Qing was taken aback.
"What? It's so late, you're going back to your dorm?"
She thought that Lu Jiangting had finally seen her hard work, put aside his grudges, and wanted to live a good life with her.
Unexpectedly, he wanted to go back to his dormitory by himself.
"It's okay, I ride my bike fast."
"No, no, it's not safe this late. You should go to sleep and don't worry about me."
Lu Jiangting stood still, sighed, and said, "Fang Qing, I haven't seen how hard you've been working lately, but I can guess. You have to cook, clean, and do laundry during the day, so you don't have much time to rest. You go out so early at night, so you're not getting enough rest either. People aren't machines; you can't keep going like this. Listen to me, go back."
This was not the outcome she wanted; she hoped Lu Jiangting would stay as well.
Fine, she'll just keep enduring it.
"It's okay, I can handle it."
"There's no need. I came back these past few days because I got into a fight with that guy surnamed Yang, and I was worried he would retaliate against you. He's been behaving himself for several days now, so he probably won't dare to retaliate. I can go back to my dorm with peace of mind now."
Fang Qing: "..." Is this why you come back every day?
Lu Jiangting said no more, picked up his clothes and left.
Fang Qing almost bit her teeth to pieces, and finally had no choice but to go back to sleep.
Then, after today, Lu Jiangting didn't come back for several more days.
The rumors have changed again; now it's said that Fang Qing can't stand it anymore and won't serve anyone, and won't even allow Lu Jiangting to come back.
A few days later, Fang Qing was sweeping the streets when she suddenly felt acid in her stomach and wanted to vomit.
At first, she didn't pay attention, thinking it was because the garbage was too smelly and disgusting.
But not long after, she felt nauseous again.
Having given birth, she immediately became alert.
She glanced at Sister Zhao in the distance and deliberately kept her distance.
Unfortunately, Sister Zhao had sharp eyes and managed to spot it.
"Fang Qing, what's wrong with you? Are you pregnant again?"
Fang Qing's mind went blank for a moment, and she said angrily, "Sister Zhao, what nonsense are you talking about? I just had an upset stomach, how could I have that?"
Sister Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Why are you reacting so strongly? I was just asking, if there's no problem, there's no problem. I was just concerned, and you're yelling at me."
Fang Qing: "..."
