Chapter 389: Chapter 389 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 4_1

Zhao Wenjin and her daughter went out for a nice meal, followed by a spree of shopping, feeling very good.

At this moment in the Liao Family, the atmosphere was far from good. Zhang Zhaodi had not expected that Zhao Wenjin would actually sell the car, leaving the old lady furious.

For her, after Liao Kai got a car, going out and about felt prestigious, with everyone envying her for having three outstanding children.

Now that the most important tool for bragging was gone, with the car sold, the old lady was in a very bad mood, "Why didn’t you keep a better eye on your daughter-in-law?"

When Liao Xuan and Xie Haiqing returned home ready for dinner, they heard that Liao Kai had sold the car and immediately panicked, "Why was the car sold?"

"Second brother, such a big matter, how could you, how could you not have mentioned it to me?"

Liao Xuan thought of the boastful words she had said today, and knew that if she didn’t handle this well, everyone would surely laugh at her.

"I was also notified last minute by your second sister-in-law. By the time I realized it, the contract to sell the car had already been signed, and we had received the money," he said as he took a deep breath.

Liao Kai let out a deep breath, "There’s nothing I could do; the car was in her name. If she wanted to sell it, I couldn’t stop her."

Liao Kai felt helpless; of course, he didn’t want it to be this way.

"Whose hands is the money in now?" Zhang Zhaodi, despite her reluctance to accept the situation since the car was gone, knew it couldn’t be helped.

"The money is with the owner of the car," Liao Kai said listlessly.

Liao Xuan initially thought Liao Kai was joking, but when she found out the car was truly sold, she screamed, "How could the car just be sold?"

"We still need the car." Remembering the bold words she had spoken today, Liao Xuan was so angry she felt like going mad.

Xie Haiqing’s expression was also not good. He originally didn’t want to drive to the class reunion, but Liao Xuan, worried about saving face, insisted they would drive to pick up classmates.

Now, having spoken too soon, with the car gone, Xie Haiqing could already imagine how his college classmates were going to discuss the matter.

Xie Haiqing was very dissatisfied with Liao Xuan, who claimed it was for his face, when in truth, it was uncertain who was actually saving face.

But he couldn’t complain; otherwise, not only would Liao Xuan be unhappy, but the entire Liao family would be upset, and they would start talking about how poor his family was.

He admitted that he chose Liao Xuan not only because she was fairly attractive, but also because she was from the Capital City and could provide him with some support.

However, to gain acceptance from the Liao family, he had also paid his dues, taking care of the Liao family’s big and small matters personally.

And yet, they still talked about how he had reached above his station to marry Liao Xuan. Xie Haiqing sighed quietly to himself; this must be what they mean by "limited aspirations due to poverty."

Zhang Zhaodi, watching her daughter throw a tantrum, was also struggling with headaches, knowing it was because of her own bad temper and how they had spoiled her.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have indulged Liao Xuan. Who wouldn’t want their daughter to marry well and someday support her own family?

But with Liao Xuan behaving like this, even if she married into a high-status family, she would only bring trouble to the Liao family. It might be better to just choose Xie Haiqing, who at least appeared to have a promising future.

More importantly, such a person could be controlled and suppressed in various ways.

Zhang Zhaodi watched Xie Haiqing sit by idly as if nothing had happened, without taking any action, which irked her, "Xie Haiqing, can’t you console Liao Xuan a little?"

"You have no tact at all. I really don’t know why Liao Xuan chose you in the first place."

Here it is again, no matter how many times he had heard the almost same thing, Xie Haiqing still could not get used to it.

Both married into wealthier families, but look at the life Liao Kai lived, then look at his own life, they were completely different worlds.

Even though he was unhappy, he was helpless, and if he didn’t appease Liao Xuan, it would definitely be seen as his fault, and the words that would come out later would be even more unpleasant.

Xie Haiqing began to comfort Liao Xuan, with whom he was very familiar. Coming from the Great Northwest and being the eldest son, he was decisive at home.

But after coming here, he had become like this, something he would never believe if he hadn’t experienced it himself.

He bore it now, waiting for the day when he would become successful and famous, and then he would certainly let the Yue family know that he, too, was a man with a temper.

Thinking of the matter Liao Xuan had mentioned that day, well, if the plan went through, it would be a good thing not to continue living under the same roof as the Yue family.

"It’s fine, it’s fine, we didn’t have a car to begin with, just tell the truth to my classmates, they won’t say anything." Anyway, no matter how harsh the words were, could they be worse than those of the Yue family members?

Tell the truth to the classmates? Where would Liao Xuan agree to that? The very reason she did this was to show her classmates that even though Xie Haiqing had no money, they were well off in their own right.

She could absolutely crush a bunch of people, but now that the car was gone, just imagining the way the classmates would talk about them when they showed up alone, it was easy to picture their judgmental glances.

"No, we must have a car, otherwise, it’s such a loss of face," Liao Xuan insisted on having a car.

Watching Liao Xuan going crazy, everyone in the Yue family felt various degrees of helplessness. "It’s all your wife’s fault, why on earth did she sell the car."

Feng Lili was also very angry, originally thinking that if Liao Kai drove, he could take their mother to the hospital for a check-up, which would be convenient and money-saving.

But now, without the car, she worried about the taxi fare to the hospital, and her heart ached at the thought of the hefty fare, given that her monthly salary was just a few hundred.

"Exactly, second brother, you can’t indulge her like this." Liao Xuan had never liked Zhao Wenjin, her second sister-in-law, and with the grudge she had now, she definitely wouldn’t let Zhao Wenjin off easily.

"Indeed, Second Brother, you have to act like the head of the family." Liao Jun was actually very jealous of this younger brother.

Even though he wasn’t as attractive, wasn’t as eloquent at sweet-talking people, he still managed to marry a wife with impressive stature.

In the bustling center of the city, he had a small individual courtyard house, and most importantly, there was a stable rental income every month.

In contrast, his wife’s family property had nothing to do with him, yet they would never let him off the hook in troublesome situations.

Even though they had married into the Yue family, why couldn’t they lend a helping hand to the Yue family more?

Liao Daqiang, who rarely spoke up, also raised his voice this time. Normally, when he went fishing and such, a single phone call and the second brother would immediately drive to pick him up, giving him a lot of face in front of his buddies.

But now, with the car gone, he dreaded how it would look in front of his friends and grew increasingly unhappy.

Watching one after another trying to persuade him to control his wife, not to let her climb on top of his head, Liao Kai sighed helplessly.

"It’s not that I don’t want to control her, but she said that from now on, she won’t deal with the Yue family’s affairs, nor will she contribute any money. After all these years of marriage, she hasn’t even seen my salary."

What? As soon as these words came out, the entire Yue family was in an uproar. Ever since Liao Kai got married, he continued to hand over his salary, which the Yue family elders would either supplement to the eldest son or the youngest daughter.

They also didn’t forget to occasionally sob about their poverty in front of Zhao Wenjin, managing to get some money from time to time.

Now, with her saying such words, how could the Yue family, who had long regarded Liao Kai’s salary as their own money, accept it?
