Chapter 402: Chapter 402 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 17_1

Zhang Zhaodi was fuming inside the house and stormed out, "Don’t worry, I won’t be moving into your house."

"And you, you’ve already come here, don’t you know to come in and greet us?"

"Hi Dad, Hi Mom," Zhao Wenjin greeted casually, "Oh right, take a look at the agreement on your end."

"I’m leaving, Mom and Dad, goodbye."

"Oh right." Zhao Wenjin remembered something, "Liao Xuan, I forgot to congratulate you on getting married."

"Happy marriage."

"If you need to buy anything, remember to talk to your brother. He keeps saying at home that you are his favorite sister, and he wants to contribute a lot for the significant event of your life."

Liao Xuan, seeing Zhao Wenjin coming and going in a hurry, was really annoyed, "It’s still a question whether I’ll get married or not."

"I don’t even have a place to live now," Liao Xuan said with a grievance.

Ah, I see, Zhao Wenjin looked surprised, "That’s true, getting married without a wedding house is indeed a problem."

"You could just rent a place to get married. If it doesn’t work out, you two have high incomes anyway. After a few years, you could save enough money to buy a house."

Zhao Wenjin was no fool; she knew Liao Xuan was saying this for a reason.

Liao Xuan was just pretending to consider, expecting at least some concern from Zhao Wenjin, but to her surprise, Zhao Wenjin responded in such a way, leaving a bad taste in her mouth.

"Sister-in-law, your house is quite big, can I live with you?"

"I can pay rent." It’s all the same whose house to rent from, and of course, renting Zhao Wenjin’s house would be the best.

Once she moved in and refused to pay rent, let’s see what she could do.

"My house big? It’s hardly big enough," Zhao Wenjin declined with a smile, "I used to study painting when I was young. After getting married, Liao Kai complained about spending too much, so I gave it up."

"Looking back, it was not worth it. I gave up painting, but I didn’t save any money. I might as well have continued painting."

"I need to prepare a room for painting."

"Xiao Yu is about to start high school. Her room needs to be rearranged and turned into a study."

"The kitchen and bathroom need to be completely replanned."

"Especially me, I’m really not used to living with my in-laws, let alone renting a room to them."

"Otherwise, if we say it’s renting and later they don’t pay rent, what then?"

"Or they might just say that the rent was given to Liao Kai. What can I do then?"

"Ever since our marriage, Liao Kai has never spent a penny on the household, and he always complains about my expenses."

"Forget it, little sister-in-law, since you’re already renting, you might as well rent an apartment. White-collar workers rent apartments, which is much better than living in a single-story house."

"Apartments are expensive." Liao Xuan, of course, had inquired about the rental prices of apartments, and the prices truly crushed that of single-story houses.

"I think if you’re going to live somewhere, it should be an apartment with central heating, so there’s no need to use the public bathroom. You have a kitchen and a bathroom right in your place."

Recalling the last house Liao Xuan had seen, "Really, when winter comes, the minute you enter the place, it’s all nice and warm."

Although Capital City had centralized heating for a while, places like courtyard houses and large shared courtyards, they definitely didn’t have it, so you had to provide your own solutions.

"By the way, sister-in-law, you think you could sell the courtyard house and buy an apartment?"

Liao Xuan suddenly had a thought. She had inquired about it; the courtyard house owned by the Zhao Family would definitely fetch enough to buy several large apartments.

By then, if she asked for an apartment, wouldn’t it be easy?

Sell the standalone courtyard house and then buy an apartment? "And then when you get married without a house, should I as your sister-in-law give you one?"

"We’ve already given you a set of wedding housing; it wouldn’t make sense not to give Liao Bin, the only grandson of the Liao Family, a house."

"If the younger ones are provided for, the in-laws can’t possibly withhold a house."

Zhao Wenjin really found this amusing, "Truly, with one courtyard house from my family, everyone in the Liao Family has a roof over their heads."

"This calculation, Liao Xuan, you’re really good at it."

"Even though I’m not a college graduate, I can still do basic math. If I insisted on living in an apartment, I could just rent out the courtyard house, and I’d still have an apartment to live in."

"You work for a foreign company, too. You must know foreigners really like courtyard houses; a well-furnished detached courtyard house can be rented out for a good price."

Zhao Wenjin smiled, "Liao Xuan, some schemes you can play at, but you shouldn’t speak them out loud."

Liao Xuan didn’t expect that the words she hadn’t spoken aloud would all be stated by Zhao Wenjin, "I didn’t, I didn’t."

"How could I do such a thing?" She absolutely could not admit to it.

Zhao Wenjin smiled and didn’t continue to say anything. After all, there are some things that the parties involved know themselves.

"Alright, I’m leaving." Zhao Wenjin had stirred the waters, waved her hand, and prepared to leave.

Feng Lili gave Liao Xuan a disdainful look; honestly, knowing how shrewd Zhao Wenjin is now, yet still trying to deal with her as before.

She really can’t fathom how such a person ever got into college; truly brainless.

Feng Lili remembered the weekend was approaching, "By the way, Xiao Jin, will you be coming home this weekend?"

Coming home for a weekend meal? Again, planning to make her bring all kinds of things? "I won’t be coming. I’m taking Xiao Yu out to play this weekend."

"This weekend, let’s have..." She looked toward Liao Kai, "let Liao Kai represent our family."

"Liao Kai, take a good look at the agreement I’ve given you, and I hope to have your answer by tomorrow."

Zhao Wenjin really waved goodbye and left, leaving the Liao Family members with varied expressions.

Of course, there were also the gossipy neighbors around; after Zhao Wenjin left, she walked to the main road and hailed a taxi to leave.

Liao Kai, who had rushed out wanting to have a heart-to-heart and asking her not to be all prickly, watched Zhao Wenjin get into a taxi and drive away with a very unpleasant expression.

He truly didn’t understand, Zhao Wenjin, who favored taxis so much, why she insisted on selling the car.

If she had a car at her disposal, it would be convenient to go anywhere; no need to make taxi drivers earn money.

But now, Zhao Wenjin dismisses anything he says; all she does is negate.

Liao Kai, standing where he was, really missed the Zhao Wenjin of the past, sighed softly, and returned home.

Once at home, he didn’t mind the expressions of his family members. He was busy pulling out the agreement Zhao Wenjin had handed to him, ready to read it.

Zhang Zhaodi snatched the agreement right out of his hands. She was really curious about what kind of agreement Zhao Wenjin had prepared for Liao Kai to sign.

After all, her gut feeling told her that this document was definitely unfavorable for Liao Kai.

Even after bracing herself mentally, when she finished reading the not-so-thick agreement booklet, "No way."

"This agreement absolutely can’t be signed."

Zhang Zhaodi was fuming, "I have never seen such a humiliating agreement."

"Zhao Wenjin is completely looking down on people, not taking Liao Bin seriously at all."

The neighbors outside were also very curious that Zhao Wenjin actually had Liao Kai sign an agreement; after all, they’re a married couple, and such a situation between spouses is truly unheard of.

But they couldn’t just ask out loud; wouldn’t that be blatantly looking for a scolding?

Unexpectedly, they got to hear Zhang Zhaodi’s fiery voice. The more she spoke, the more curious everyone became; they really wanted to know how Zhao Wenjin managed to insult someone.
