Chapter 388: Chapter 388 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 3_1

Liao Kai was stunned, "The car has been sold?"

"You, why didn’t you discuss it with me beforehand?"

Liao Kai was far from happy, his face underwent a drastic change as he glared at Zhao Wenjin, fuming.

"Could you afford to buy it?"

"We are after all husband and wife, I’ll sell it to you for ninety percent of the price."

"I, I don’t have the money," how could Liao Kai have any money, "We are spouses, aren’t we?"

"So what if we’re spouses? Over the many years of our marriage, every little thing at home has been my responsibility; I paid for everything."

"I don’t know where your salary goes."

"From now on, you can handle your expenses and all the social obligations of the Liao Family yourself."

"Don’t always come to me when there’s no money and ask how to solve problems, you figure it out."

"Boss, the contract is ready, when can we transfer the ownership?" Zhao Wenjin looked towards the boss, signaling when to pay.

Those in the auto repair business have a decent daily turnover, so the cash was prepared quickly.

"No need for that, let’s go to the bank and make a transfer so that everything is clear."

Who knows what ideas the Liao family might have with cash on hand; it’s safer to have the money in the bank.

The boss thought a transfer was a good idea too, as it made the situation clearer. While the bank was still open, they quickly completed the transfer.

As for the paperwork for the transfer of ownership, the boss was accustomed to such matters and knew the process well, "I’ll take you to the vehicle management office to transfer the ownership when it’s time."

Zhao Wenjin agreed without a problem, "Alright, I’ll take the day off tomorrow."

Liao Kai was really furious. Despite his strong protests, Zhao Wenjin simply didn’t care.

Watching the two discussing the transfer of the vehicle the next day, Liao Kai took a deep breath, "Zhao Wenjin, you really don’t care about my opinion."

"Could you afford a car?"

"Could you pay all the expenses associated with the car?"

"How about this, if you can match the price I sold to the boss, I’ll pay the difference, and we can ask the boss to sell it to us," Zhao Wenjin generously offered.

"I, I don’t have the money," Liao Kai hemmed and hawed, once again admitting he had no money.

Zhao Wenjin shook her head in disbelief, "You have no money; you can’t even afford to keep a car, so why do you insist on keeping it?"

"The repair costs, you can’t afford those, right?"

"I checked the fuel gauge, and it seems there’s barely any fuel left, you need to fill up; do you have the money for fuel?"

Liao Kai was only responsible for driving and had never worried about the cost of refueling, "So, you’re really not paying?"

"I’ve said it already, I don’t even use the car, why would I pay for it?"

"While we’re at it, with the insurance payment coming up soon, it’s better to just get the car out of the way."

"Do you have two or three thousand to pay for the insurance?" Zhao Wenjin struck Liao Kai again.

The latter felt as if his heart was being sliced open by Zhao Wenjin, "No money."

"Alright then, when you have nothing and no money, stop fussing about driving a car."

"Get a clear look at yourself."

"By the way, I know you’re upset and I haven’t satisfied you, you can go back to your own family’s house."

"I’ll be leaving first." Zhao Wenjin was very decisive and simply hailed a taxi and left.

Liao Kai had planned to use this tactic to force Zhao Wenjin to give in, something that had always worked in the past, but somehow it had backfired this time.

The people at the repair shop looked at the dispirited Liao Kai, wanting to offer comfort but not knowing what to say.

They truly hadn’t expected Liao Kai to be such a person, keeping his salary to himself and then asking his wife to foot the bill.

It made many of them look down on him; they had never seen such a disgusting man.

Although the boss disdained Liao Kai, he was still a businessman who didn’t want to completely alienate anyone and greeted Liao Kai with enthusiasm.

Liao Kai himself was also quite frustrated, and the more he thought about it, the less he understood, angrily telling the repair shop boss how the Zhao family favored one child over the other and how Zhao Wenjin looked down on him.

The young mechanics listening to Liao Kai’s complaints were utterly speechless.

"I’ve really never seen someone so brazen and entitled," one of them muttered under their breath.

Another mechanic nodded incessantly, "He looks so honest, but when it comes to scheming against others..."

Liao Kai, in a foul mood, only brooded and had no idea that even the repair shop workers looked down on him.

He was very angry and depressed, concentrating only on venting his frustration and not paying attention to his surroundings or the onlookers.

The repair shop owner noticed what the apprentices were discussing and glared at them a few times.

Even though he also looked down on the man, he couldn’t ignore the fact that he had taken care of a lot of business in the past and had recommended friends to come to the shop for repairs.

The apprentices, seeing the boss chatting merrily with Liao Kai, really admired the boss, who, despite being aware of the situation, could still be so jovial and talkative.

Liao Kai, after venting quite a bit, suddenly felt his mood improve greatly, "Thanks, it’s getting late, I should go back."

Just as he was about to head home, he remembered he still had to go back to the Liao family to force Zhao Wenjin to give up on selling the car.

In the end, the car was sold anyway, and he was the only one left looking like a complete fool, as embarrassing as it could get.

If he went back now, what would Zhao Wenjin think? Would he be able to use this tactic again in the future?

Even if he thought of using it, he predicted Zhao Wenjin would no longer take him seriously, thinking it was just a scare tactic.

Zhao Wenjin returned home, and it was already late with nothing prepared in the house.

Thinking of the money that had just been deposited into her account, "Come on, daughter, let’s go out to eat."

Even though they were not very rich, life was quite nice; there was no need for scrimping and saving.

Like the original owner, saving all the money to give to the Liao family and Huo Huo was out of the question.

Her money could only be used by her and her daughter, "It’s almost summer, time to buy some new clothes."

You see, a girl must dress up nicely; that’s what makes her look good.

Liao Jiayu had no idea why they were suddenly going out to eat, and just the two of them, but she didn’t think much of it, assuming he had gone back to the Liao family’s place.

After having their fill, the two went shopping and bought quite a few pieces of clothing, if the young lady needed to dress up, she certainly needed to do the same.

Why live a life of hardship when you can enjoy? Even if Liao Kai complained about her wasting money, she would stand up to him, it wasn’t his money she was spending after all.

If he really wanted to interfere, then he should go bother Liao Xuan, who didn’t have a house and whose husband’s family was not well-off—shouldn’t they be the ones working hard to save for a down payment?

Hmph, if in the future Liao Kai, as well as the Liao family, started nagging again, she would just walk out without any courtesy.

What’s the point in arguing with them, with all their different statuses: a man, in-laws, an uncle, an aunt, a sister-in-law, each thinking too highly of themselves.

The best approach was to be straightforward, not visit the Liao family—since she didn’t live in the Liao family’s house and didn’t rely on them, she could afford to not give them face.

Liao Jiayu was in a great mood today, having eaten tasty food and bought new clothes—how could anyone not be happy?

"By the way, if your dad sees this and starts complaining, you come and tell me." She figured Liao Kai would be in a terrible mood and would look for an opportunity to scold them.

Anyway, there was no way they would indulge them; they had to make them realize the reality of the situation.
