Chapter 408: Chapter 408 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 23_1

The lawyer watched the two people in front of her sign the documents, still feeling dazed up till now.

When Zhao Wenjin and her husband arrived, she quickly recognized them.

Initially, when Zhao Wenjin came to consult with her, she had provided advice and a template according to her request.

But she really didn’t expect the husband would sign the agreement; it calculated everything too clearly and could make the husband feel guarded.

To her surprise, just a few days had passed, and Zhao Wenjin and her husband came over, amending and signing the agreement in front of the lawyer.

"Quite good, we’ll notarize it later." Just passing it by a lawyer wasn’t sufficient, it also needed to be notarized.

"By the way, lawyer, I want to sign a will." For this purpose, Zhao Wenjin specially brought the property deeds with her.

At that moment, Liao Kai was dumbfounded as he watched the three property deeds being pulled out, wondering if they could possibly be three independent quadrangle houses.

Even if they were as big as the current quadrangle house they lived in, that would be enough to drive him wild.

When he learned they were just small bungalows inside two large courtyards in the city center, he sighed in relief.

"Are you feeling relieved that my family doesn’t own three small quadrangles?" Zhao Wenjin could hear the audible sigh from next door.

Liao Kai murmured in agreement, "Of course, otherwise..."

"What are you nervous about? After all, when I die, the houses will go to my daughter, and if she passes away, they will be donated."

"It has nothing to do with you at all."

"On the contrary, you should regret that they aren’t three small quadrangles; the rent would have been quite high. Then you might very well be able to feast on abalone, shark fin, and bird’s nest every day,"

"Perhaps if you behave well, I might even buy you a car, making it easier for you to run errands and work."

Zhao Wenjin teased, now that the agreement was signed, it didn’t matter that someone knew all about her financial situation.

Meanwhile, it would cause him to be full of remorse in the middle of the night, thinking if only he hadn’t listened to the Liao Family and had lived well with the original owner, his life now could have been incredibly blissful.

Unfortunately, some people don’t want to live a good life and insist on having this kind of life; even if the King of Hell arrived, he still couldn’t save someone intent on courting death.

However, he soon came to terms with it, knowing that the rental income Zhao Wenjin earned each month was substantial and that his future days would be good, which let him breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the lawyer was writing a will for the first time and really had no experience, it didn’t matter; there was no shortage of lawyers in the firm.

Especially since there were lawyers who had returned from abroad with experience working in foreign law firms, under their guidance, the matter was quickly resolved.

Looking at the freshly drafted will, Zhao Wenjin quickly scanned it and then signed, "I might trouble you again in the future."

The female lawyer was surprised. What’s the situation? The couple’s property division was sorted, the will was written, what other needs could there be?

"If there are any changes in my assets in the future, I’ll come to you as well. If possible, I’ll try to come see you once a year."

Once a year meant acquiring new properties annually, another sign that her life was thriving.

Earning money was certainly a good thing. This money was easier and faster to come by than earning it in court, and of course, she wouldn’t refuse it.

No sooner had the female lawyer said goodbye to Zhao Wenjin and her husband than several idle lawyers stepped out of their offices. "Was it that couple who wrote the will?"

The female lawyer nodded, and someone was quite puzzled, "Could it be that the woman has health issues?"

"I don’t know about that," the female lawyer replied. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t disclose it.

"But her parents had this idea quite early, so they drafted a will, leaving the house solely to their daughter, with no share for their son-in-law."

The people present exhaled a long sigh, "So that’s how it is."

Indeed, if no one had done it before, who would think of writing a will, even though there are now Hong Kong dramas and foreign series, but no one pays attention to these.

After Zhao Wenjin and her husband left the lawyer’s office, they briskly went straight to the notary office, paid for the notarization—that was quick.

Liao Kai followed Zhao Wenjin the whole time, watching her pay the fees. Even though the money was not coming from his own pocket, the thought of shelling out so much made his heart really bleed.

Think about how much delicious food that money could buy.

Seeing someone so reluctant, "With this thing, I can ensure my daughter has a good life."

"Just in case, I mean just in case I have an accident, your mom and the rest can’t scheme after my house."

Zhao Wenjin checked the time and saw it was still early, "Alright, I’m off to work now. What about you?"

"I’m also going to work." Now, Liao Kai just wanted to quietly think about how the little house they had could cause the three siblings to fight to the point of breaking heads and spilling blood.

When he looked at Zhao Wenjin, she had a house of her own, and the monthly rent she collected was substantial, yet she was still striving to figure out how to make more money.

Even if death do us part, sharing one house would be the most he could get, but the price to pay was high. It was better to spend that time and energy working hard.

The colleagues were surprised to see Liao Kai, who had taken time off, back at work. Since he had sold his car, it was clear that his entire aura and momentum had diminished a lot.

Seeing him work with such gusto again was truly surprising.

"Liao, what’s got into you? You look like you’ve been injected with chicken blood," a curious colleague inquired.

Injected with chicken blood? Liao Kai thought about it for a moment, "Yes, that’s exactly it."

He needed to be injected with chicken blood regularly to stay full of energy and to work well, to show his leaders his dedication and effort.

Although there was no talk of housing distribution at the moment, he refused to believe that the company wouldn’t distribute houses forever.

When the time came, he would make sure to fight for a house, even if it was just a single room. Wouldn’t collecting rent from it smell sweet?

In the future, if he wanted to upgrade to a bigger house, he could sell the small one and switch to a larger room.

He must strive to buy a small house, aiming to accumulate many houses under his name and collect lots of rent every month.

With money in hand, would he worry about no one taking care of him?

What about nephews, sons, daughters? When there’s no money in hand, there are plenty who won’t give you the time of day.

Zhang Zhaodi had no idea that, amid all her troubles, in her heart she had thought that Liao Kai, the most filial and least likely to harbor any ill intentions, had already developed new ideas.

Liao Jun’s mood had been quite bad recently. He couldn’t understand why just because he had gone out of town for a competition, when he returned home, he would find everything changed so drastically as to be described as a totally different world.

"Mom, Xiao Bin has always been used to living in such a big house, asking him to stay in a small room—he really isn’t accustomed to it."

These past two days, he hadn’t heard the end of Feng Lili and her son’s complaints. In a nutshell, it was outrageous that as the Liao Family’s firstborn and grandson, he was treated no better than water thrown away.

Zhang Zhaodi was aware that this time Liao Jun’s family had been put at a disadvantage, and the old couple had already discussed how to make it up to them.

But before she could speak about a solution, she saw Liao Jun with a resentful expression.
