Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 159 Regret
Lu Qiaoge quickly helped Old Ding up and said gently, "Grandpa Ding, we haven't finished talking yet. Don't get so emotional. There's always a way to solve everything, right?"

This family's situation is a bit special. From a logical point of view, Lu Qiaoge felt that Chen Ying's actions were not problematic.

They had vowed at the beginning that they would not give them anything and that they would not need to support them.

As a result, he regretted it when he got old.

Everyone knows that life was harder when you were young than it is now.

I have to work and take care of my children.

Elderly people can do a lot for their children when they are young.

From a moral and even legal perspective, Old Ding and Old Lady Ding's demands are reasonable.

Even if your father is a criminal, you still have an obligation to support him when he gets old.

This has nothing to do with whether or not I helped you!
However, there are many different situations regarding elder care, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the elders have to be taken to their homes, right?

Lu Qiaoge's notebook contains a lot of important information that she has collected and recorded.

One of the pages describes the condition of the houses in the area she is responsible for.

Just as Lu Qiaoge was about to take out her notebook, a gray pigeon fluttered over, landed on the windowsill, and tapped on the window a few times with its beak.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Lu Qiaoge also looked up.

This is the leader of that flock of pigeons, named Xiaohui.

This is the name she gave him.

It's not the gray of the word "gray," but the brilliance of the word "glory."

"Small" doesn't refer to size, but rather to the dawn breaking through the morning light.

It must be said that this gray pigeon is a very thoughtful pigeon.

Then Lu Qiaoge heard the information that Grey Pigeon reported to her.

The main reason Ding Jianshe didn't dare bring his parents over was that Chen Ying had something on him.

Twelve years ago, Ding Jianshe went on a business trip to a mine and slept with a waitress at the guesthouse. The waitress gave birth to a child, and now he has to give his entire monthly salary to that woman to support the child. It's been almost twelve years.

That woman also has a family, but her husband is chronically ill.

She and that man had no children.

Ding Jianshe and that woman had a son. Not only did he have to give all his salary to that woman, but he also had to take care of his son's wedding expenses.

Ding Jianshe initially didn't want to talk about it, but later had no choice but to confess to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying wants a divorce, but Ding Jianshe disagrees.

Although Ding Jianshe wasn't a good husband, he was a good father, very good to his daughter and son, and the two children loved their father very much.

For these reasons, they didn't divorce. Of course, the biggest reason was that Chen Ying wanted to help Ding Jianshe keep the matter a secret.

Because Chen Ying remitted the money every month, everyone assumed she was sending it to her family. Those who knew praised Ding Jianshe as a good husband and son-in-law, commending him for not minding his wife helping her family.

Lu Qiaoge was still somewhat dumbfounded.

Goodness, I really didn't expect this.

No wonder he didn't say a word no matter what Chen Ying said; he was afraid of ruining his reputation.

That's true, if they get divorced, there will be no one to help him send money.

Although he could send money himself after the divorce.

But he dared not gamble on Chen Ying.

If Chen Ying turns against him, he will definitely not come out on top.

Ding's wife was still saying, "Mom and Dad are in good health now and can take care of themselves. Although they are getting old, Mom can still cook."

My family really has nowhere to live. If you have a place to stay, can I send my parents to live with you?
You know, now even the neighbors on the street are pointing fingers and cursing me behind my back. I really have no choice. I can't let my parents live in my granddaughter-in-law's new house.

You know, Dandan was a hard-won marriage for my son. Her family is so well-off, it's a miracle she was able to marry into our Ding family.

I really had no other choice.

"Chen Ying, how about this? We can stay at your place for a while, and then if we get a new apartment later, I'll bring my parents back. Is that alright?"

Housing allocation?
Who would believe that?
I don’t even believe it!

Although the military factory holds a prestigious position, it hasn't built any new buildings in many years. Now the country is facing difficulties, and the factory is also in trouble. The national defense cause cannot afford any setbacks.

It doesn't matter if the workers suffer a little hardship or fatigue; they must do their best to complete all the tasks assigned to them.

Therefore, funds will not be invested in unimportant housing.

I heard they have no plans to build a house in the next ten years.

Especially now that new projects are underway, the timeline seems even longer.

What doesn't cost money?

Even a single screw on a weapon costs money to manufacture.

Chen Ying glared resentfully at the silent Ding Jianshe, her teeth clenched, her words both pointed and threatening: "Ding Jianshe, if you want to live a peaceful life, you'd better settle your parents' affairs properly, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Ding Jianshe suddenly stood up.

Frustrated, he ran a hand through his hair, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at his father and mother standing in the doorway.

why?
Why is everyone making things so difficult for him?

The mine kept a close watch on him, ensuring he received his full salary. He even had to mail his food and welfare coupons to them. He only had a small bonus left each month to make ends meet. If it weren't for overtime pay, his family would have fallen apart long ago.

He was just an ordinary technician.

He was able to be allocated such a large house because of his contributions to his work unit.

He never imagined that the mistake he made in a moment of confusion would bring him such big trouble.

It's bad enough that his parents can't help him, but now they're making things even worse.

The most important thing now is that my elderly parents want to move in.

However, Chen Ying firmly disagreed.

He understands her.

So he never stopped Chen Ying from saying or doing anything.

Even if his father scolded him for being a good-for-nothing.

Because he let down Chen Ying, his family, and his two children.

Chen Ying was the one who saved his reputation.

He was grateful to the woman.

At the same time, she felt immense resentment towards herself for her momentary lapse in judgment.

He's just an ordinary man; how could he possibly support two families?
He is now physically and mentally exhausted.

He just felt that living was too hard; he was a useless person who dared not face reality!

At this moment, Old Ding slammed his hand on the table next to him, tears streaming down his face: "Fine, fine, fine, I'm such a burden now. There's nowhere for your mother and me to stay. What's the point of us living? Let's go, old woman. Let's both jump into the river and die. That way we won't be pushed around and disliked."

As he spoke, he pulled Old Ding's wife and walked out.

Lu Qiaoge and Sister Qiao exchanged a glance. They knew they couldn't just stand by and watch, so the two of them pulled Granny Ding away.

Ding Laoda grabbed Lao Dingtou, glanced at the two cadres from the street office, frowned and said, "Dad, don't be so impulsive. Second brother just couldn't think straight for a moment. Besides, we were indeed wrong to do it back then."

At this point, Boss Ding went to check on Ding Jianshe, who was standing there in a daze...
