Chapter 415: Chapter 415 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 30_1

"But you, you..." Feng Lili really had never considered that Zhao Wenjin would care about these things.

If she had known that Zhao Wenjin cared, she definitely would not have said anything.

"Is whether I care the reason you can smear me?"

"I don’t care how others see me, but if someone slanders me like this, of course I’m not happy."

"In the future, whether you want to be a good daughter-in-law, a good wife, a good mother, or a good mother-in-law, that’s your business."

"If you want to step on someone to get ahead, that too is your business."

"But please, never step on me to climb up." Zhao Wenjin said this and strode forward.

Zhao Wenjin walked forward with big strides. Feng Lili, watching her receding figure, felt that Zhao Wenjin seemed so indistinct at that moment.

Feng Lili took a deep breath. Compared to her inability to ignore Zhang Zhaodi and her husband’s thoughts, the desireless Zhao Wenjin had completely let go; as long as she felt comfortable, that was enough.

"The Zhao Family has money, they don’t care about these trivial amounts and won’t let others take advantage of them."

Feng Lili knew that her target had completely changed; now it was mainly aimed at Liao Xuan, this little sister-in-law who was really not easy to deal with.

Completely lacking in intelligence and then picking such a calculating man, Feng Lili really didn’t understand how she chose him.

Zhao Wenjin returned home, and as soon as she entered the yard, she called out for Liao Kai.

Since Zhao Wenjin and Feng Lili went grocery shopping, Liao Kai had been called into the house by Zhang Zhaodi, who questioned him thoroughly about how the agreement was signed and why he hadn’t mentioned the matter of Zhao Wenjin writing a will when he returned home to them.

In the past, Liao Kai would have described the agreement in great detail, such as how he could also buy a house, but now he stubbornly didn’t bring it up.

He knew that Zhang Zhaodi and her husband would never agree. They would say Zhao Wenjin’s words couldn’t be trusted, that he should hand over his money to them.

The past version of him had naively believed it, and after handing over the money, when he ran into trouble and returned home, he experienced the coldness of the old couple and didn’t want to go through it again.

In short, the agreement he signed was more or less the same as the one he had seen before, and the will was even easier to explain. Zhao Wenjin had made preparations long ago, which didn’t even require his agreement.

Liao Kai really didn’t understand. He clearly knew that Zhao Wenjin was no longer as easy to fool as before and was someone with her own opinions. Yet they still wanted him to deceive her into changing her mind and not donate her assets.

No matter how he explained it, Zhao Wenjin simply wouldn’t listen to him. If he pushed her too far, what if she ultimately decided to divorce him?

But no matter what he said, his parents just wouldn’t believe him, including Liao Xuan, who muttered under her breath, criticizing him for being a man who just listened to his wife.

This really infuriated Liao Kai to no end, and he almost wanted to retort harshly, but then he thought better of it and let it go.

Since he knew that their spousal relationship was troubled, he saw no need to kick them while they were down; otherwise, their future life would only get harder.

Hearing Zhao Wenjin’s voice, "Mom, don’t worry so much, as long as Zhao Wenjin and Xiao Yu live well."

"This money will stay in the Liao Family, and it’s for your descendants to inherit." Even if it’s a daughter, she is still his child.

Since Zhao Wenjin started giving Liao Jiayu allowance money every week, the little girl would buy some small gifts for her parents every time she received her allowance.

It couldn’t be said that the items were particularly valuable, but at the very least, they reflected her thoughtfulness. Then there was Liao Bin.

After having spent so much money on him and given him so many red envelopes for the New Year, he hadn’t shown the slightest gratitude.

Without comparison, there would be no hurt. Seeing his daughter being so clever and sensible and then looking at Liao Bin, Liao Kai’s disdain for him grew by the day.

Watching Liao Kai storm out, Zhang Zhaodi really didn’t know what to say, "This kid, really, doesn’t he think a daughter and a nephew can’t be the same?"

"Even if Xiao Yu is great, she will marry out and her children will not carry the Liao surname," complained Zhang Zhaodi.

Every time Liao Xuan heard these complaints from Zhang Zhaodi, she found them uncomfortable.

In the past, such words would have seemed right to her; the family should indeed have a boy to carry on the lineage.

But now she truly didn’t feel the necessity of having a son. Looking at Liao Bin, he seemed more like a debt collector than a blessing—hopeless in studies, lacking in filial piety, yet always involved in trouble.

"Mom, what’s the use of saying all these things?"

"Zhao Wenjin even said that if you feel uncomfortable with it, then just get a divorce."

Remembering the way Zhao Wenjin spoke, Liao Xuan thought how confident people were different—they didn’t worry at all about living poorly after a divorce.

Seeing Liao Kai rushing out of Zhang Zhaodi’s room, Zhao Wenjin knew that she still hadn’t given up on brainwashing her precious son.

Too bad no matter how much she tried to brainwash Liao Kai now, he wasn’t easy to fool anymore.

"Today, elder sister bought mantis shrimp, one per person."

"I’ve told sister-in-law that our share will go to Xiao Yu, you don’t have a problem with that, do you?" Zhao Wenjin raised her voice.

One mantis shrimp per person? Liao Kai’s first reaction was, "Can my elder sister really be so generous?"

He was well aware of the price of mantis shrimp—knowing Feng Lili’s stinginess, she definitely would not have bought too many, maybe just half a one per person.

But to his surprise, today’s Feng Lili had unexpectedly become generous, allowing one mantis shrimp per person.

"No problem, let Xiao Yu have it." She would make up for it later, buying plenty of seafood to stuff themselves with.

Liao Jiayu had brought books over. Since she was destined to spend the weekend here, she might as well bring her books to read more and solve more problems to improve her grades.

As she expected, seeing her studying, Zhang Zhaodi, despite having many things to ask, had to give up on interrupting Liao Jiayu.

"That sounds great, but can’t we each have one?" That’s how they did it at home, even if it was something she liked to eat, her parents would still join in.

"If you’re given food, just eat it, or you’ll have too many craving it," Zhao Wenjin declared, exhausted from carrying the heavy stuff, and plopped down to rest.

Liao Kai went over to Feng Lili, took the bag containing mantis shrimp, and poured them into a basin already prepared for washing. "I’ll wash..."

At a glance, he was shocked. "Sister-in-law, you can’t be serious. How could you buy such small mantis shrimp?"

"I thought they were quite big," responded Feng Lili, thinking that since Zhao Wenjin had no objections, they must be acceptable.

Unexpectedly, Liao Kai jumped in with a loud complaint, leaving her feeling not a little annoyed.

"Big? These crabs are priced at..." Liao Kai, a regular grocery shopper, of course knew the price of this product.

Hearing the price Liao Kai quoted, Feng Lili was shocked because it was very close to what she had paid.

"Just a couple of yuan more, and you could have bought much bigger ones."

"Those bigger mantis shrimp are tasty—more meat, fuller, and then there’s the crab roe," Liao Kai had now figured out how to pick the right mantis shrimp.

Feng Lili was well aware that the bigger mantis shrimp were tastier, but the issue was the extra cost.

"Elder sister, since you’re already spending the money, why not buy better ones?"

"It’s not only Xiao Yu who likes mantis shrimp at home, Xiao Bin and Xiao Xuan also enjoy them," he said.
