Chapter 414: Chapter 414 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 29_1

Zhao Wenjin arrived at the market and didn’t mention at all what to buy; in a word, she just followed Feng Lili.

Feng Lili looked at the deli stalls in the market and really wanted to go crazy; she truly had no idea what to buy.

She thought about buying cheap deli food but worried about not knowing if it would hit Liao Xuan’s nerve and cause her to have another outbreak.

The best method, of course, was to have Zhao Wenjin go first, "Xiao Jin, do you think buying this is good?"

Feng Lili pointed at the roast chicken and asked Zhao Wenjin, who glanced at it, "I don’t know what everyone likes to eat; it doesn’t matter to the three of us."

"Just buy whatever everyone likes." Wanting her to take the blame? Don’t even think about it, "I just came out to carry things."

Don’t know everyone’s taste? "Weren’t you always buying in the past?"

"How did you do it before?" Feng Lili declared unhappily, truly a sly one.

That, of course, Zhao Wenjin was not afraid of, "Isn’t it that everyone thinks the things I buy are not good enough?"

"Everyone has a lot of opinions, so you might as well decide." It seemed like this person right here had plenty of them.

"After all, mother-in-law and sister-in-law have always said you’re sensible and often praise you."

"Buying groceries is a simple task for you." Zhao Wenjin just followed behind Feng Lili.

Feng Lili glared viciously at Zhao Wenjin, truly a malicious woman.

With no other option, she could only buy things according to the preferences of Zhang Zhaodi and Liao Xuan, all being items that were not cheap,

After buying a few deli items, and some vegetables and such, Feng Lili felt like her heart was bleeding.

Mind you, there was still a big expense waiting afterward, Feng Lili remembered the mantis crabs that Liao Jiayu had ordered, "How many mantis crabs do you usually buy?"

"At least three per person, otherwise, who would have enough?" Zhao Wenjin replied offhand.

Three per person to start with? That’s over a hundred dollars for mantis crabs in one go, Feng Lili felt her heart, utterly shattered.

"It’s still your family that’s well-off and can afford to eat like this." Hmph, so rich and yet not even thinking of helping out a little.

Feng Lili felt very indignant inside, Zhao Wenjin knew the other was unhappy, "It’s not about being well-off, it’s a matter of willingness."

"Then why haven’t I seen you buy any for your parents?" Feng Lili’s eyes swiveled.

If she couldn’t get money from Zhao Wenjin’s hands, making her buy stuff was just as good.

Make her buy stuff? "Feng Lili, are you pretending to be dumb? Buying things for the in-laws, whatever it is, it’s Liao Kai who decides."

"Whoever’s relatives, they take responsibility." Zhao Wenjin paused, "Don’t worry, I’ll certainly bring it up with Liao Kai."

Feng Lili took a deep breath. Liao Kai buying things, was it any different from using their own money?

Feng Lili went to the seafood section of the market, squatted down to choose the mantis crabs, thought for a bit, maybe one per person?

Zhao Wenjin looked on and didn’t say a word; in any case, they could also buy them later, "One per person."

"I remember Liao Xuan and Liao Bin both like to eat them, right?"

"Feng Lili, you know how to live life too," Zhao Wenjin said meaningfully, "Just don’t go back and say it was for Xiao Yu."

"Who knows how much that child can eat." How many mantis crabs someone buys, Zhao Wenjin really doesn’t care.

But absolutely couldn’t pretend to be generous on behalf of one’s own child, "Xiao Yu could maybe eat about three."

"Both mine and Liao Kai’s portions will go to Xiao Yu." Regarding the mantis shrimp that Feng Lili had bought, it was obvious that they weren’t large, so you could easily infer there wouldn’t be much meat.

Although Zhao Wenjin wouldn’t eat it, she certainly wouldn’t let Feng Lili take advantage.

Liao Jiayu eating three all by herself? Feng Lili wanted to say that this girl surely had a good appetite, eating three at home and even eating three here.

After hearing Zhao Wenjin’s arrangement, Feng Lili could only keep her mouth shut, for the parents had reserved their portions for Liao Jiayu, what could she say?

With both hands full of dishes, Feng Lili started calculating in her mind, if Zhao Wenjin was always like this, they couldn’t have family gatherings too often.

Every time it involved spending her money, and that simply wouldn’t do—she still needed to save to buy Liao Bin a house.

While walking home, Feng Lili looked for a topic to chat about, "I think the money between husband and wife should be put together, only then can you save money."

"Putting it together guarantees saving money?" Zhao Wenjin was amused by Feng Lili’s statement.

"After marrying Liao Kai, I haven’t seen his money. I lived the same way before, continue to live that way now, and will in the future too, since I only have one daughter."

"I have a house in my name as well, as long as we’re not too wasteful, this money will definitely be enough."

Zhao Wenjin knew that these words would provoke Feng Lili, but what could she do when her own parents weren’t supportive.

Feng Lili almost couldn’t keep up and became even more angry when Zhao Wenjin continued, "But in your family, I remember Liao Jun hands over his salary to you, right?"

"Logically, you should be able to save a considerable amount of money, enough to buy a house at least, but why haven’t you bought one yet?"

A look of confusion spread across Zhao Wenjin’s face, "Right, how could I forget, Liao Kai mentioned you gave all the money you saved to your parents’ home."

"Your family really does have money, enough to help build a house for your parents, pay for their medical treatment, and buy them tonics."

Zhao Wenjin concluded, "So actually, the easiest life belongs to your family."

"In the future, if anyone says my family has it easy, I definitely need to bring up how you support your parental home."

Mention this to others? Feng Lili’s complexion changed drastically; how would those around her view her if this topic came up among relatives and friends?

The good reputation she had painstakingly built over the years would be utterly ruined, "No, there’s really no need to tell the relatives about this."

"It’s not about whether I say it or not, it’s that the relatives love to use us as an example."

"If my family supposedly has the easiest life, then I surely wouldn’t mind, but now, your family’s life is who knows how much easier than ours."

"I’ll certainly have to explain properly to relatives and friends." In such cases, of course, she had to help Feng Lili make a name for herself.

Does she need to make a name for herself? Feng Lili cared about face, knowing that Liao Kai married Zhao Wenjin, a bride with substantial family assets, made her betremely uncomfortable.

Who asked her to be so generous, not the least concerned about money, thus completely overshadowing the money-troubled Feng Lili.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had a son, Zhao Wenjin had a daughter, and Liao Kai lived with the Zhao family, it would certainly vex Liao Family’s elders.

Feng Lili didn’t feel she could become Zhang Zhaodi’s golden girl, perhaps she would’ve been suppressed by Zhao Wenjin long ago.

To maintain a good reputation in front of relatives, anything they needed, she always tried her best to help out.

"No, you can’t do this." No matter how much she did, as long as the Liao family’s relatives knew she had given the couple’s savings to her parents’ side, their dissatisfaction would be substantial.

"You’ve fabricated so many things, but I speak with facts, why can’t I mention it?"
