Chapter 390: Chapter 390 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 5_1

"Divorce, we must divorce," Liao Xuan shouted loudly. "She’s really defying us."

"Right, divorce. What’s the use of keeping a wife who doesn’t listen to her husband?" Liao Daqiang was very displeased.

If they couldn’t suppress Zhao Wenjin this time, her defiance would only grow more arrogant in the future.

Listening to everyone once again voicing their opinions, Liao Kai sighed softly, "She said if she wants a divorce, then we’ll get a divorce."

"She said tomorrow we’ll go and do the paperwork." Liao Kai had occasionally brought up divorce in the past because he knew Zhao Wenjin would absolutely not agree to it.

"She probably isn’t joking," Liao Kai reflected again, which was actually what he could not understand the most.

Clearly, the old couple of the Zhao Family had not failed to persuade her to divorce in the past, but she had never agreed.

Whenever he and his family wanted Zhao Wenjin to spend money or make an effort, if she even slightly showed reluctance, they would threaten divorce.

Every time they did that, Zhao Wenjin would certainly comply with their wishes.

How could the same trick not work this time? The Liao Family was dumbfounded.

"She must be bluffing," Zhang Zhaodi thought for a moment, convinced that Zhao Wenjin was just trying to scare him.

"Tomorrow, ask her to buy a new car, and, yes, have her give up the house for your sister’s wedding."

"If she doesn’t agree, then go through with the divorce," Zhang Zhaodi bet that Zhao Wenjin would definitely not agree to divorce.

"But, just in case, just in case she does agree." Liao Kai was actually panicking as well.

If they really did divorce, what would he do? Although he had a decent income, not having a house would be an issue, as moving back home was not an option.

Without a house, what good was an acceptable income? No woman would like him or be willing to marry him.

This being so, those who were initially eager to speak out behind Zhang Zhaodi all fell silent.

If they really did divorce, the Liao Family would definitely be the biggest loser. Zhao Wenjin would certainly not help them out ever again, and Liao Kai would have to move back home.

Feng Lili thought even further ahead. Liao Kai was unlikely to remain unmarried, but the house was only so big, and his little brother’s income was not enough to afford another house.

Thus, the most likely scenario was that if Liao Kai remarried, he would live at home.

Would their family of three still be able to occupy two rooms? It was obviously impossible.

Thinking this through, Feng Lili felt that even without any benefits or a car at her beck and call, she couldn’t let Liao Kai get divorced; it would be a clear detriment to her own interests.

Looking at Liao Jun, who had also thought of this, he shook his head at her, signaling her to stop talking.

Even if Zhao Wenjin was just talking and didn’t truly want to divorce, what if she did?

Zhang Zhaodi said angrily after much discussion, "You shouldn’t stay at home tonight. Go back and have a good talk with your wife."

"After all, having a car at home is very convenient. Don’t panic when something happens, and if she really, really doesn’t agree to buy a car..."

Zhang Zhaodi took a deep breath, "Don’t force her. We can’t pursue these matters to the point of divorce; it’s embarrassing to mention in public."

"Also, don’t let any word slip about your sister’s marriage house," Zhang Zhaodi feared that Liao Kai, the fool, would speak carelessly and provoke Zhao Wenjin again, causing an even more irreparable situation.

The old lady had made up her mind that now they would let Zhao Wenjin act proud for a while, but once she moved in with them, they would definitely teach her a lesson.

They would show her how to be a proper daughter-in-law, that she absolutely must not disregard her husband’s words.

Going back? Liao Kai hadn’t expected that in the end, his family would just verbally denounce Zhao Wenjin and then send him back home, which was essentially making him admit his mistakes.

Liao Kai actually felt quite unwilling and didn’t want to do this, but had no choice; he was used to obeying his family’s arrangements, whatever they said went.

After having a little something to eat, he left. Once she had gone, the Liao family met again.

Liao Xuan had originally thought that Zhang Zhaodi would severely scold Zhao Wenjin, but, unexpectedly, it ended up like this.

"Mom, I think the second sister-in-law won’t get a divorce," Liao Xuan huffed, "I just think you’re really too soft-hearted toward her."

"Soft-hearted?" Zhang Zhaodi snorted coldly, "I’m just worried. What if we really push her to the brink, and she actually gets a divorce? What then?"

"But she won’t get a divorce. If she wanted to, she would have done it a long time ago," Liao Xuan argued.

"But what if she does get a divorce?"

"Then your second brother will just come back home. Think about it, your bridal chamber, and also your second brother coming back to live here; just consider how spacious this house is."

"If it weren’t for the house, I wouldn’t put up with it," Zhang Zhaodi sighed inwardly. Though her youngest daughter was the only college graduate in the family, what good was that?

In terms of worldly wisdom, she truly understood nothing; it really worried the old lady.

This only made her more determined to tighten her grip on Xie Haiqing.

"But what if she doesn’t agree to swap houses?" Liao Xuan couldn’t help but worry.

"Isn’t it just because we used the car so frequently that she felt uncomfortable inside, and that made her sell the car?"

This was related to their interests. Both Liao Jun and his wife were all ears; previously, everyone had decided that the house would go to Liao Xuan and her husband, and the rental income from the shop would be used as the living expenses for the whole family.

Liao Jun and his wife had already decided to get their hands on this rental income. They could live in the old house, that was fine, but their son was grown up, and they needed to prepare a bridal chamber for him.

When they discussed it initially, no one anticipated that Zhao Wenjin would disagree. Now that such an unexpected event had happened, Zhang Zhaodi hadn’t expected it either.

"If she dares to disagree, I’ll make a scene," the old lady stated aggressively.

Feng Lili had witnessed Zhang Zhaodi making a scene before and felt that things might really go as they planned, so she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Wenjin and her daughter returned home with their arms full of packages, just when Liao Kai happened to be coming back.

Seeing Liao Kai’s gloomy face, Liao Jiayu shrank back behind Zhao Wenjin. Ever since her maternal grandparents left, the little girl could clearly sense Liao Kai’s dislike of her.

Zhao Wenjin saw all her daughter’s movements, "What’s with the long face; who is it for?"

She gently patted Liao Jiayu on the shoulder, "Go to your room. I will talk with your dad outside."

Liao Jiayu looked at Zhao Wenjin worriedly. The latter smiled, "It’s fine, this is the Zhao family’s turf."

"It’s not the turn of someone who lives here for free to call the shots," Zhao Wenjin did not give that person any good grace.

Just from the little girl’s movements just now, one could tell how arrogant Liao Kai usually was. Since his heart and eyes only contained his parents, older brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, and nephews,

then he might as well roll back to the Liao residence. If he insists on staying here, he must follow the rules of this place.

Liao Jiayu murmured an affirmation, "Mom, if he hits you..."

"Hit?" Zhao Wenjin raised her voice, "Let him dare to lay a hand on me; I’ll have a talk with their unit’s leaders."

"If the unit’s leaders can’t handle it, then we’ll get a divorce," Zhao Wenjin was quite decisive.

In her past life, this supposedly honest man had not refrained from getting physical; she was giving him a cautionary shot now. If he dared to raise his hand, she definitely wouldn’t hold back.

Only when Liao Jiayu was sure that Zhao Wenjin meant it did she slowly go into the house, still worried.
