That evening, after finishing dinner, Fu Yu immediately started making phone calls.
First, she called Mom Fu to confirm whether Fu Wei had asked her for money. Mom Fu admitted she had given him fifteen hundred, explaining that Fu Wei claimed he needed a deposit for renting an apartment—two months' rent in advance plus a deposit—and she had handed him cash.
Hanging up the phone in a rage, Fu Yu called Fu Wei directly to demand what kind of job he was doing. Fu Wei mumbled that he was working as a clerk. When Fu Yu pressed him for more details, he finally confessed that the boss was awful and very stingy, so he had quit after working there for half a month. Because he had simply walked off the job himself, he hadn't received any pay either.
