Chapter 400: Chapter 400 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 15_1

Everyone could imagine that Zhao Wenjin would be furious, thinking Liao Kai didn’t give her face.

But nobody expected that she would be this furious, "Agreement, what agreement?"

Everyone looked puzzled at Liao Kai, who was also clueless, "I don’t know either."

Zhang Zhaodi sighed softly, "You are an adult, too; you should have your own thoughts and can’t just always listen to us."

"You know the situation at home; this place is only so big."

"Your brother and sister-in-law have one room, Xiao Bin has another."

"Cooking and dining take place in one room, and us old folks share a room with your little sister; it’s really cramped."

"Xiao Bin will be 20 soon, and it won’t be long before he’s looking to get married. Your brother and his wife, they seem to have good incomes."

"But their company doesn’t offer housing." The few times housing was assigned, it was all about too many monks and not enough porridge, and the young couples weren’t up to standard.

At last, now that they meet all the criteria, but the company shows no signs of handing out housing.

Without company-provided housing, they would have to buy on their own, but with just their salaries, who knows when they could afford a house.

It’s not that they can’t live in the family home after getting married, but that would mean three generations under one roof, which many girls don’t want to marry into.

If Liao Kai were to move back in, Zhang Zhaodi felt it would be very difficult for their eldest grandson to get married.

Liao Kai was used to following the family’s arrangements, but he wasn’t stupid. He could read between the lines of Zhang Zhaodi’s words; she was suggesting that he bow his head in front of Zhao Wenjin.

No matter how outrageous the demands, as long as they didn’t divorce, everything would be acceptable.

Liao Kai sighed quietly in his heart, having done so much for the family to end up at this point.

Did his parents worry he would return home after a divorce to fight with Liao Bin over the house? Was that the kind of person he was?

Wasn’t he good enough to Liao Kai? Keep in mind, Liao Jiayu was his own daughter, and he didn’t even treat her that well.

Liao Kai felt so tired, eating his meal without any taste; watching the delicious food on the table, if it wasn’t the old man eating, it was Liao Bin.

Even Liao Xuan ate better and more than he did, despite the decent amount of money he brought home every month, often taking some of the things that Zhao Wenjin bought.

Every time he brought money and goods home, everyone was all smiles, saying they’d remember his contribution and make Liao Bin treat his own uncle well.

But speaking of the future was futile; even now, when he’s still able to earn money, they barely pay him any mind.

Liao Kai dared not think about the day he grew old, without any money or house. Would Liao Bin still treat him well?

Only children have the duty to support and care for their parents; he had never heard of nephews being required to look after and support their uncles.

Seeing Liao Bin only caring about his own eating and drinking, not even considering caring for Liao Daqiang and his wife, Liao Kai felt lost.

He remembered that in the Zhao Family, whenever there was good food at home, it was unheard of for anyone to eat alone. Even Liao Jia had to share with the adults.

And the rule was to let the elderly eat first. The younger generation started eating only after the seniors had begun.

But in the Liao Family, Liao Bin always ate the best parts first. As long as he liked something, he didn’t have to consider anyone else; he could eat it all.

In the past, Liao Kai hadn’t noticed this. He only saw that Liao Bin had a good appetite, happy that the kid was growing up well.

But now, looking at it from outside, he realized there were many problems. The child had grown selfish, caring only for himself, cultivated this way by the Liao Family.

Liao Kai began to lower his head and contemplate. Initially, he thought that even if he got divorced, it wouldn’t matter since he had his nephew to take care of him.

And even if he and Zhao Wenjin divorced, Liao Jiayu was still his daughter; he expected she would take care of him in the future regardless.

But Liao Bin was unreliable, and he wasn’t particularly close to Liao Jiayu. Even if he insisted on her taking care of him, would she really be willing and happy to do it?

Liao Kai didn’t even know what he ate for dinner that night; he just mechanically stuffed food into his stomach and stopped eating as soon as he felt some fullness.

Everyone present noticed his unusual behavior, but no one thought much of it or felt inclined to ask.

It could be said that among the people present, except for Liao Bin, everyone had their concerns.

Just then, Zhao Wenjin appeared at the door with two large bags, "Liao Kai."

Hearing this familiar voice, Liao Kai quickly stood up and turned his head, only to see that the voice he heard was not an illusion; Zhao Wenjin had arrived.

"Why have you come?" Was she coming to take him back? Liao Kai was just about to get excited.

"After going home, I heard from the neighbors that you had returned to get some things, and I guessed that you were out of clothes to change into."

"So I organized some clothes for this season to bring to you."

"Over the weekend, I’ll bring the rest of your belongings."

Zhao Wenjin, who had eaten well and returned home, heard from the neighbors that Liao Kai had been back and guessed that the Zhao Family wanted him to back down.

Sorry, although that was what the Zhao Family thought, she was unwilling.

She would definitely not let him come back so easily; she quickly packed some clothes and brought them over directly.

Liao Kai hadn’t expected Zhao Wenjin to come over to drop off clothes, and his mouth gaped open, "I, I, Xiao Jin, that... I..."

"Rest assured, I won’t be kneeling and begging you to come back."

"Why would I ask you to return, to swagger around?"

"A man who has never contributed a single cent to the family, really, it’s as if he doesn’t exist at all."

"All right, since I’ve delivered the things, I’m leaving now." Zhao Wenjin had no intention of greeting the other members of the Zhao Family.

Just as she was about to turn around, "Oh, and by the way, I’ve changed the locks, so don’t even think about breaking in."

"After all, considering our relationship might end in divorce any time, if you broke in and took something, it could be hard to explain."

"As someone who is fairly respected at work, you certainly wouldn’t want to do something foolish."

Zhang Zhaodi, upon seeing Zhao Wenjin’s figure, thought that she might have realized the family couldn’t be without a man and was starting to soften, wondering how to impose some control without going too far.

Even though they knew the present Zhao Wenjin was not the submissive daughter-in-law they used to bully, they couldn’t just indulge her, or else the whole family might end up having to do as she says.

But finding that right balance was really challenging. As Zhang Zhaodi fretted over how to handle the situation,

she was shocked to see that Zhao Wenjin had no intention of coming in, but was instead preparing to turn around and leave, leaving the old couple dumbfounded.

What’s going on here? Was she planning to cut ties with the Liao Family completely, not even putting on a show of civility?

Then they heard this exchange and couldn’t help but inhale sharply. Last night, they had reminded Liao Kai many times to seize the opportunity to take some valuable things if they really did get divorced.

Now they had changed their minds, hoping that Liao Kai wouldn’t divorce, but as for the jewelry and treasures, of course, if possible, they still wanted to take them.
