Chapter 393: Chapter 393 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 8_1

The Liao family saw Liao Kai return and thought he was sent back by Zhao Wenjin, ready to explode.

Zhang Zhaodi had already planned to have a serious talk with Zhao Wenjin, as she had never seen such an arrogant daughter-in-law.

"Mom, don’t go, I have something to tell you," Liao Kai said, worried that Zhang Zhaodi would charge over and make things worse.

"She, she knows my mom plans to let her move back in. The Zhao family’s house is for my younger sister’s wedding," he added.

All the way there, he racked his brain about who could have leaked the news but came up with nothing.

"What?" Zhang Zhaodi was stunned, as were the rest of the Liao family.

"How could she know?" Feng Lili panicked.

Previously, she thought that since this was the practice for the past two years, why would Zhao Wenjin suddenly stand up this time, even demanding a divorce if necessary.

After returning to her room, Feng Lili kept pondering over this question and now, hearing what Liao Kai said, she understood.

She realized why Zhao Wenjin would suddenly have such an attitude change; it was clear she knew the Yue family was plotting against her, and in a fit of anger, she sold the car.

But why had this never been mentioned before? Why bring it up now? Feng Lili was convinced it must be that the foolish Liao Kai had said something.

Liao Xuan might have been jumping around before, urging Liao Jun to get a divorce, but in reality, she was most worried about Liao Kai actually getting a divorce.

Once divorced, the wedding house would be truly gone; now she panicked, "So, what’s my sister-in-law’s attitude?"

"Don’t even think about the house; she won’t replace a big house with a smaller one," she said.

"Regarding the Liao family’s affairs, she won’t contribute financially, since she hasn’t seen my post-marriage salary," he continued.

"She said since we treat her like a fool and plot against her, then from now on, she won’t have anything to do with us."

Liao Kai knew the intentions of the family; the house belonged to the Zhao family, and they still wanted Zhao Wenjin to renovate the house and pay for the wedding expenses.

In other words, the entire financial burden of the younger sister-in-law’s wedding was expected to be borne by Zhao Wenjin.

Now it’s over; she won’t pay a penny.

"What, she’s not paying?" Liao Xuan flared up, rolling up her sleeves, "No, that won’t do. I’m going to find her. When the younger sister-in-law gets married, how can the elder sister-in-law refuse to pay?"

"Her family’s house is so big; why can’t she let me live there?" Now, Liao Xuan had abandoned the idea of the two of them living in such a large house.

"Can’t I live in the wing room if she lives in the main room?" Liao Xuan felt wronged, thinking she had already made such concessions, how could Zhao Wenjin not offer a bit of support?

"Right, if your sister doesn’t have a place to live, and your place is so big, why can’t you let your sister live there?" Zhang Zhaodi also felt helpless.

Knowing that Zhao Wenjin had become strong-willed, asking her to move back in was impossible; insisting on it would lead to divorce, so they had no choice but to back down.

Liao Kai continued shaking his head, "She said, since I could live with the Yue family at the beginning, there’s no reason why my brother-in-law couldn’t live with the Yue family."

"She’s only heard of sons-in-law living with their in-laws, but never about living in the house of the wife’s older sister, especially when the other party doesn’t agree," Liao Kai explained in detail.

"Zhao Wenjin asked me, isn’t it said that foreign enterprises pay well and have good benefits? Little sister, you and your husband have worked for so many years, and mom hasn’t asked you to contribute to living expenses," he recounted.

"With such high salaries, how is it that you don’t have money to buy a house, or at least a lower-priced flat? If not, could you buy something in a more distant area?"

"If that doesn’t work, you could always take out a loan to purchase a house," Liao Kai had also considered long and hard, as Liao Xuan always gave the impression of being high-income.

Having worked for so many years, how could they not have any savings? Liao Kai didn’t understand.

Feng Lili looked at the clueless Liao Kai; if she didn’t know this little brother-in-law was a simpleton, she’d truly believe he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

Regarding the doubts in his heart, Feng Lili was also curious, as she hadn’t seen the couple bring anything home and they were living there for free. How could they be out of money?

But she couldn’t outright ask, or else Liao Xuan, with her temper, would definitely turn hostile in an instant.

Now that Liao Kai had brought it up, it was the perfect opportunity to hear the answer.

"I just don’t have the money," Liao Xuan naturally couldn’t say that Xie Haiqing’s salary was half-remitted home every month.

She had argued about it before, but every time Xie Haiqing would helplessly say that his family was poor, and they might as well break up otherwise.

What could she do? Break up? They were already living together, and if they were to split, the man would be unaffected and could continue to search.

For a woman, it’s incredibly unfair; finding another good man would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

She knew her own temper wasn’t good and to find a man who was patient, accommodating, and willing to pamper her in every way was nothing but a dream.

She also couldn’t tell her family about this, as they were already against their relationship. If they knew, they would definitely force them to break up.

"Big brother, if you don’t want to help, just say so. Why do you have to ask like this?"

Liao Kai looked at Liao Xuan who was furiously angry and thought of a possibility, "You, you guys aren’t sending money to the Xie family every month, are you?"

"Could it be that Xie Haiqing’s entire salary is sent back every month?"

Indeed, his salary mostly went to the Liao family. Xie Haiqing, a dutiful son, had siblings still in school, and parents with poor health.

Being the eldest and most successful child, he certainly had to shoulder the responsibility of providing for the family.

Xie Haiqing had never paid much attention to Liao Kai and his wife; in his eyes, this couple was only better off in terms of circumstances; otherwise, their life would certainly be hard.

And to everyone’s surprise, it was this man, whom he had never taken seriously, who blurted out the very secret he least wanted to be revealed.

What to do? Xie Haiqing, no stranger to crises, knew not to panic now, definitely not to show disorder, and not to let Zhang Zhaodi and the others catch on, as that would not end well.

Xie Haiqing managed to control his emotions and didn’t give anything away, but Liao Xuan failed to keep hers in check.

She screamed out, "You, how could you know about this, who told you?"

She had certainly never mentioned it at home, not even to Feng Lili, who she was very close with.

But somehow the secret had leaked, and Liao Xuan was in a panic.

Just as he expected, Xie Haiqing had wanted to give Liao Xuan a look, telling her not to rush and definitely not to spill the beans.

But he hadn’t anticipated that she’d be so foolish as to reveal it herself, which really infuriated him.

Feng Lili had previously considered that Xie Haiqing might send money back home and had speculated about how much he would send.

She had thought that Liao Xuan wouldn’t be silly enough to let Xie Haiqing remit most of his salary.

Now, seeing the couple’s reaction, Feng Lili’s mind went blank. How could things be like this?

Xie Haiqing’s siblings, one in high school and the other in junior high, would continue to need support.

When it came to university and eventually marriage, both scenarios that require money, wouldn’t Xie Haiqing, who lived in Capital City, have to contribute?

Liao Xuan herself was very extravagant with spending money, and with Xie Haiqing supporting the Xie family, once they had children, their expenses would inevitably rise.

With the couple having no money, who would they turn to? Obviously, they’d ask Liao Daqiang and his wife for money.

Isn’t that money supposed to be saved for Liao Bin? Feng Lili made up her mind that she had to keep an eye on Liao Xuan.

She absolutely couldn’t allow Zhang Zhaodi to give Liao Xuan any money; otherwise, when the old couple aged, she wouldn’t be blamed for only taking care of them to an extent.
