After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 774 The distance between them was like an insurmountable chasm.

This is true.

Although Jiang Mei beats and scolds Wang Zhong every day, she still has to feed him, wipe his body, turn him over, and wash his pants every day.

Even if you hit him, you wouldn't dare hit his face. People come to visit every month. If the old man dies, those few dozen yuan will be gone.

The old man looked so thin that he was unrecognizable because Jiang Mei fed him porridge every day.

Why feed him porridge? Firstly, he is paralyzed. Although he can move his mouth, his chewing ability has decreased, so he can't eat dry food.

First, porridge can reduce the frequency of bowel movements.

Urine is easy to deal with, but poop is really disgusting.

"Jiang Ting, what do you plan to do?"

Lu Jiangting frowned, sighed, and said, "Let's keep her healthy for now, and talk about it again after Fang Qing is released from prison."

"What do you say?"

"What else can we say? Of course, we should apply to the court to change custody."

Everyone thought it would be difficult, but no one said it aloud.

Lu Jiangting is almost going crazy; he's surviving on medication now.

What if we further discourage him and drive him even crazier?

I'm afraid I'll have to pay for it later.

That evening, Fu Huaiyi told Lin Yuyao about these things, hoping to make her happy too.

It's been a long time since I've heard anything about the Wang family, so hearing about it now feels a bit distant.

At the same time, I felt it was within expectations.

“It’s hard to make money in the mountains. Vegetables and fruits are sold by the cent per pound, and transportation is inconvenient. Raising chickens is the only way to make some money, but eggs are also sold by the cent. There’s a market every three days, and you can only sell a basket of eggs for a few cents.”

But the effort required is not a small matter.

"No matter how unwilling Jiang Mei is, she has to serve Wang Zhong well."

Fu Huaiyi nodded. "These two have gotten their just desserts. It's just a bit surprising that Jiang Mei abused the two children."

Lin Yuyao was also quite surprised. She thought Jiang Mei would place her hopes on the two children and grit her teeth to support them, but she didn't expect her to mistreat them.

"Do you think Wang Chenchen is just making things up? He'll definitely do some work, but it's unlikely to be abuse."

"Well, that's possible. Children in the countryside have to do a lot of work, like cutting pig feed, gathering firewood, washing clothes, and working just like adults during busy farming seasons. They usually start helping out at home around five or six years old. Wang Chenchen is old enough to definitely be doing it."

However, Wang Chenchen has never done any housework before. He lived in town with Fang Qing when he was little, and later was taken care of by Lu Jiangting's family. He probably doesn't know how to do any chores. Suddenly asking him to go back to the countryside and do so much work will definitely make him unhappy.

Fu Huaiyi understood.

I think Yuyao's statement is correct.

Jiang Mei may not have meant to mistreat him, but simply made him work like other children in the mountains.

As for Wang Chenchen saying that Jiang Mei tied him up and beat him, it's probably because he did something to anger Jiang Mei.

"By the way, I heard from Lu Jiangting that he plans to sue Fang Qing to return custody to her. Do you think he can win?"

Lin Yuyao chuckled, "How could he possibly win? Fang Qing is a convict who can't even support herself. What court would award her a minor child?"

After a pause, he added, "That depends on how much money Lu Jiangting is willing to give. If Lu Jiangting can agree to give more child support, it's possible that Fang Qing might agree to accept custody for the sake of the money."

The two lay in bed chatting for a while, then Lin Yuyao suddenly said, "By the way, my sister called me and said that Lin Ping and the others will be back soon, right?"

"Yes, the exchange period is less than two years, it will end in a year and a half, and they should be back in another month or two."

"That's good. My mother always talks about Lin Ping."

……

Lu Jiangting used to want to see Lin Yuyao, but he didn't dare to go see her again, fearing that he would see those suffocating scenes again.

Now that he has found another reason to deceive himself, he wants to see her again.

He wanted to see how their story would end.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuyao moved. That upscale residential complex had a security department, and they wouldn't let anyone who wasn't a resident of the complex in.

Unless the owner's consent is obtained.

However, he had no way to contact the property owner, and neither Lin Yuyao nor Fu Huaiyi would let him in.

I waited for two days but didn't see Lin Yuyao.

He did try to find Lin Yuyao at her workplace, but there were more security guards there and the control over people coming and going was much stricter, making it even more difficult for him to see her.

He suddenly realized that the distance between him and Lin Yuyao was now like an insurmountable chasm.

In the end, he just went back to work feeling dejected.

Old Xu, his face dark, glanced at his watch and said, "You've been late for three days in a row, Lu Jiangting. What exactly do you want? If you can do it, do it; if not, get out."

Lu Jiangting was so scolded that he dared not utter a sound.

Of course, we can't actually let him leave.

Not to mention that he is a rare talent, he is currently undergoing medical treatment and does not meet the conditions for discharge from the military.

Old Xu was furious and scolded him before sending him back to his seat to get back to work.

Actually, he knew some of his affairs. The child had returned, so he must be having a hard time.

He's been doing well these past few months, but now that the child is back, I wonder if his illness will get worse again?

Old Xu thought it was possible, so after returning to his office, he wrote him a form and said, "Take this."

Lu Jiangting raised his head.

Old Xu said, "I remember you haven't been to the hospital for psychological counseling in a long time. Don't come to work tomorrow. Take the prescription and go to the hospital for a checkup."

Lu Jiangting didn't say anything and silently agreed.

As soon as Lao Xu left, the people around him started whispering again.

"Jiang Ting, are you hallucinating again?"

"Have you seen any strange images again?"

"Tell us, what does this feel like?"

Is the person you saw real?

"What kind of people are they?"

One after another, they asked him in a low voice.

Lu Jiangting was extremely embarrassed and said in a low voice, "That's not true."

"How could that be? You've been arriving late these past few days and getting scolded by Old Xu. Something's definitely wrong with you. Tell us about it, we don't mean any harm, we're just curious."

"Yeah, tell me about it."

One by one, they all asked Lu Jiangting questions.

Lu Jiangting felt like his head was about to explode.

Helpless, he took out a piece of paper with a drawing of this office on it. Everyone in the office was working diligently, except for one person who was helplessly and fearfully covering his head, looking around in terror.

That spot was Lu Jiangting's own workstation.

A bunch of heads surrounded him, and the crowd looked at each other in bewilderment as they saw the drawings he had made.

Lu Jiangting hadn't stopped drawing when he drew many more black shadows, shadows that looked like ghosts.

Some of them were sitting on desks, some were lying on the floor, and some were lying on the ceiling, which was quite creepy.

"what is this?"

Lu Jiangting said, "This is the hallucination I saw."

what?

Everyone got goosebumps from watching and looked around nervously.

Of course, they can't see anything.

"Jiang Ting, if you're up to any tricks, you might get reported."
