Chapter 409: Chapter 409 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 24_1

Zhang Zhaodi was dumbstruck; these days, she had been unhappy and irritable.

Knowing that Liao Jun was extremely dissatisfied with the old couple, the old lady was also fuming with anger, "What, you even have the nerve to be angry?"

"Xiao Bin has grown up so much; have you and your spouse ever contributed living expenses?"

"Have you two ever bought something for the family?"

"Throughout the year, how much have you honored us with?"

"All I hear is your wife complaining about not having enough money, and I want to know where your money is going."

"If you weren’t so extravagant, who knows how much money you’d have saved by now."

"If you can’t afford an apartment, I think even buying two modest cottages would be possible."

"I’m telling you, Liao Jun, your father and I managed to raise you and your two siblings without the help of the elderly, and even held weddings for you all,"

"We even bought two houses, but look at you."

"You didn’t get a house allocated from your work unit, nor did you buy one."

"Liao Kai not buying a house is different; his family has a daughter, they have their property, but you."

"Having a son, you don’t even know to buy a house."

"You’re just useless," Zhang Zhaodi raised her voice and stormed into the room where Liao Jun and his wife were staying.

She confronted Feng Lili and her son, "Liao Bin, tell me, who are your parents?"

Liao Bin didn’t understand why she would ask such a question out of the blue and pointed to Liao Jun and his wife.

"So, your wedding was your parents’ concern, wasn’t it?" Zhang Zhaodi continued to inquire.

Liao Bin nodded; naturally, it was his parents’ responsibility.

"Liao Bin, as long as you understand that, I arranged the wedding for your parents, giving them a place to get married. The place for your marriage is your parents’ worry."

"Don’t hate me; if you want to blame, blame your parents." The old lady still felt somewhat reluctant since Liao Jun was her son after all.

"Your father’s salary isn’t small, but it doesn’t help that you have a mother who constantly sends money back to her family. The money from your household, if it hadn’t been for your mother sending it back to her family, would have been enough to buy you a house a long time ago."

She initially didn’t want to say too much in front of the child, still wanting Liao Bin to remember the good things about his parents. But who knew that Feng Lili would be so inconsiderate and deliberately stir up trouble at home?

Since that was the case, why should she give Feng Lili any face?

Liao Bin knew that Feng Lili often sent money back to her family, but he thought it wouldn’t be much. He hadn’t expected it to be that substantial.

Liao Bin looked at Feng Lili dissatisfiedly, "Mom, is what Grandma said true?"

"Your maternal grandparents need money for their medical care, you have to pay, and you have to buy them tonics; as for their house, we also have to chip in."

Liao Bin had always thought his maternal grandparents were well-off. It turned out that was not the case.

"No way, Mom, you must go back and get the money."

"Otherwise, I’ll go get it." Why should his cousin live in a big house, while he can only live in a dark, sunless room?

It’s not fair, absolutely unfair, Liao Bin shouted angrily at Feng Lili.

Feng Lili, looking at her son who was losing his temper, couldn’t help regretting.

She just wanted to force Liao Jun, father and son, to come forward, pressuring the old lady to either allocate them an extra room or give them the money to buy a house.

She had not expected the old lady to explode in anger. Had she known, she truly wouldn’t have done so.

Feng Lili never thought she was at fault; she once again blamed Zhao Wenjin for the situation.

Feng Lili arrived at Zhao Wenjin’s house in a huff, only to find that, like other homemakers after work, Zhao Wenjin was leisurely watering the flowers in the yard.

In the kitchen, busy cooking, was Liao Kai. Feng Lili couldn’t believe her eyes. Even if Liao Kai wasn’t valued much at home, they wouldn’t let him cook.

As it turned out, nobody expected that he would be the one to cook here, "Your husband Liao Kai is cooking?"

"Yeah," Zhao Wenjin thought it was perfectly normal, "I provide the money, and he takes care of the housework. There’s no question of feeling sorry for him."

"Right, what did you want to see me for?" Zhao Wenjin didn’t have any intention of inviting Feng Lili to dinner.

Judging by her angry appearance, who knows how much she would end up eating and drinking? At present, her home was on rationed supply.

Overnight food wasn’t good, so except for some meat, almost everything was meant to be eaten up the same day, which was why there were controls in place.

"Can’t I seek you out if there’s nothing urgent?" Feng Lili had been very angry when she came, but now, she wasn’t as angry anymore.

She had just seen there was meat, although she didn’t know whether it was for braised pork or soup. Regardless of how it was prepared, it would definitely be delicious.

"Usually when you come to me, it’s never for anything good."

"If there was anything good, you’d have gone to your parents’ house long ago."

"You might as well not say it, I don’t want to know." Just by looking at the angry expression on her face, one could guess that she was definitely here to settle scores.

"If you’ve come to settle accounts with me, then there’s even less need for discussion."

"Why are you coming to me when you and your husband can’t afford to buy your son a marriage house? Do you expect me to solve your son’s wedding house problem?"

Zhao Wenjin casually made a comment, thinking about Liao Jun and his wife, who were also respectable people and probably wouldn’t resort to such measures.

Feng Lili actually had this idea in mind; who could blame her, considering Zhao Wenjin had a daughter, "Look at Xiao Bin, after all, he’s a boy, girls will eventually get married and leave."

"You’re also married off and yet you still help your family. I believe my Xiao Yu will take care of her family."

"What’s more, that so-called nephew is Liao Kai’s nephew, not mine." Zhao Wenjin called Liao Kai out loud.

"As for aunt-and-nephew matters, it’s up to Liao Kai to discuss. It’s not my Lao Zhao Family’s lineage, so it’s none of my concern."

Zhao Wenjin gave space to Liao Kai and Feng Lili to discuss.

Feng Lili was really annoyed by how Zhao Wenjin just made room for them, "Look at your wife, acting all high and mighty."

"Xiao Bin is doing well, shouldn’t this aunt benefit from it?" Hmph, once the house is secured, and they’re driven out, let’s see what they can do.

"Benefit? What kind of fortune is there to talk about?"

"This house belongs to the Zhao Family, and it will be left to Xiao Yu in the future."

"Even if the mother and daughter were no longer here, the house would still be donated."

"Donated?" Feng Lili’s mouth fell open; she had seen houses left for daughters, close relatives, but the notion of donating a house was completely unexpected.

"Yes, donated," Liao Kai said gravely. "As long as the mother and daughter are here, I can stay, but if they’re not around, it’s not just Xiao Bin who can’t stay — even I’d have to get out."

"She’s not just scaring you. She took me to the lawyers, wrote a will. All her property is to be left to Xiao Yu, and if Xiao Yu isn’t around, it would all be donated."

"It has nothing to do with the Liao Family, not a single penny."

"So sister-in-law, stop thinking about this house. You and your husband have a decent income. Can’t you buy your own place?"

Since he had the idea of buying a house, Liao Kai of course went out to get himself properly informed about property prices.

Although he couldn’t afford to buy a house at the moment, he at least knew there was a possibility to buy one independently.

Buy their own house? Feng Lili had honestly never thought about buying a house. Weren’t the four rooms of the Liao Family enough?

And if that wasn’t enough, there was the house in Zhao Wenjin’s name. But all her plans came crashing down.
