Chapter 418: Chapter 418 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 33_1

Liao Daqiang’s words truly stunned the Liao Family members, and Liao Bin was no exception.

Zhao Wenjin initially hadn’t expected this. Clearly, Liao Bin held greater responsibility, yet the old man stubbornly took the side of his beloved grandson, abandoning the most filial son of the Liao Family.

Even though Liao Kai had come to terms with a lot recently and not everything he felt towards Zhang Zhaodi and her husband was positive, hearing the old man’s words, his mood was definitely far from good.

Liao Kai stood in place for a long while before he finally spoke slowly, "Since Dad, you’ve said this, I understand."

"I won’t come back again." Since his parents’ choices had never changed, he also had to consider his own well-being more.

Zhang Zhaodi came back to her senses, looked at Liao Daqiang displeased, fuming inside. Of the three children, it was clear that Liao Kai had the lightest burden and was also the most generous son to them.

Yet Liao Daqiang, that fool, had suddenly come out with such a statement—Zhang Zhaodi felt as if she would erupt in anger.

Desperately trying to signal Liao Daqiang with her eyes to be careful, but Liao Daqiang’s mind was now completely preoccupied with the fact that Liao Kai had shown him such disrespect.

"Fine, now you truly have grown too confident, not listening to us at all."

"Since it’s like this, don’t even think about the house anymore." He didn’t believe that Liao Kai could continue to be so assertive.

Zhang Zhaodi was also shocked by Liao Daqiang’s forceful words, but later, when the house was mentioned, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had thought that among the Liao Family, at least Liao Daqiang could be somewhat impartial. But compared to Zhang Zhaodi, he went even further.

Indeed, in their former life, it was always Zhang Zhaodi taking the lead, so the old man never had to step forward, content with his reputation as the good guy.

But in this lifetime, the situation was different. Whether it was the supposedly obedient Liao Kai or Liao Xuan, who should have married off without disputing the family property, one by one, they all demanded a house.

These days, Liao Jun and his wife were displeased, Liao Bin was constantly throwing tantrums, so was the old man’s mood supposed to be any better?

The old man also felt terrible, but he had no outlet for venting. To lash out at the old lady? He certainly didn’t have the courage for that.

To speak against Liao Xuan? This girl had been spoiled to have a bad temper, and now that she had gotten a house, her temper worsened even more.

He didn’t want Xie Haiqing to laugh at them. Now, seeing Liao Kai like this, the old man certainly did not hold back in venting on Liao Kai.

Threatening him with the house? Liao Kai laughed, "Fine, I don’t want the house. And in the future, if you have any problems, don’t come to me."

"After all, you still have sons and grandsons, and a daughter to take care of you." Liao Kai was not oblivious to Liao Daqiang’s intent, which was to make him back down first.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter the issue, it was always his fault. Even if it turned out later that it wasn’t his fault, his parents would never apologize, and thus the matter would just pass.

Now that he had grown up, they were still using the same tactic. Before it was about him giving way to his brother and sister, and now, it was about him yielding to his nephew.

Why did Liao Bin look down on his uncle? Aside from him being too eager, wasn’t it the behavior of the elders on a regular basis that made Liao Bin feel his uncle was useless?

Liao Bin’s words made Feng Lili and Liao Xuan exceptionally happy. One less person to share the property meant they might have a chance to get more houses.

Liao Daqiang and his spouse had never imagined that Liao Kai would actually say such a thing; they had always thought that Liao Kai would give in.

Zhang Zhaodi anxiously looked at Liao Daqiang, now that the situation had turned out like this, wondering how to resolve it.

Although Liao Daqiang was slightly panicked, he quickly composed himself and gave Zhang Zhaodi an assured look, "It was you who said you don’t want the family house, so later, don’t say we are biased for not giving you a house."

"Right, I don’t want the house. The condition is you shouldn’t come to me when you need to spend money, but if you need my help, that’s okay, we three siblings will share the burden equally."

Hmph, if he didn’t want the house, then he didn’t want it. The money he had brought home over the years was actually enough to buy two small flats.

And he didn’t have to follow orders or seem like he was getting too good of a deal. Liao Kai really regretted not calculating the costs more when he was younger—he definitely wouldn’t have made such a foolish mistake.

"All right." Liao Daqiang was certain with a house in his hands, if anyone had to make concessions, it wouldn’t be them.

"From now on, don’t call me for family meals. I’ll send gifts back for the holidays, but don’t invite us for meals."

When coming back for meals, it was he who paid for the groceries, whereas eating at home, whether cooking or dining out, he never had to pay.

He could still do the simple math of expenses, "Mom and Dad, take care."

After saying that, he turned to Zhao Wenjin standing to the side, "Let’s go."

"Let’s go." Not having had the crab at lunch, which wasn’t great quality to begin with, Zhao Wenjin was thinking of going out for another meal.

The dishes just now really didn’t suit her palate, plus the Liao family hadn’t had tasty food in a while, their speed in serving themselves could have rivalled a sprint.

"Let’s go; we’ll find somewhere else to eat, I’m not full yet." Zhao Wenjin didn’t care what the neighbors thought.

Liao Jiayu was also nodding non-stop, "Right, I’m not full either."

"Then let’s go to that new Cantonese Cuisine Restaurant that just opened." Zhao Wenjin recalled a place her colleague mentioned before.

"By the way, Liao Kai, if I don’t come over for the Spring Festival, I’m planning to take a trip."

Just to take a trip around The South, to experience the lively Spring Festival and broaden the children’s horizons.

"Where exactly are you planning to go?" Liao Kai was very excited, not knowing the destination.

"Travel around the South, eat some seafood, taste authentic Cantonese cuisine, how does that sound?"

Of course, the two family members from the Liao family had absolutely no objections, "We’re not the ones paying, so wherever you lead, we’ll follow," Liao Kai stated.

Liao Jiayu, as a student dependent on her parents, definitely wouldn’t object; she was totally on board, "Sure, sure, but it’s really far away."

Taking the train would take a long time, Liao Jiayu was really worried that Zhao Wenjin was just talking big.

"We’ll fly." Zhao Wenjin was decisive, "What did you think, that we’d take the train?"

"How long will that take? I only have so much vacation time." Zhao Wenjin was very straightforward, "It would be shameful to waste our time on the road."

"This trip is all about the food." While one still had good teeth, of course, they should eat to their heart’s content.

Fly on a plane? Liao Jiayu was stunned, "I, I can fly on a plane?"

"Dad, have you ever flown on a plane?" Liao Jiayu asked Liao Kai, who occasionally went on business trips.

Liao Kai sighed gently, "I’ve lived this long and never set foot on a plane."

"Wife, about that trip, the money?" Liao Kai was worried that Zhao Wenjin might think the trip too expensive and be reluctant to take him or ask him to cover some of the cost himself. What then?

Well, even though it would cost a hefty sum, Zhao Wenjin wasn’t the type to be overly concerned about such things.

"As long as you behave and know what to do and what not to do, I’ll definitely bring you along, and you won’t need to spend any money."

"But if you don’t behave well, I won’t bring you. Just stay wherever it’s cool."

Liao Daqiang dug his own grave; while he pushed Liao Kai far away, if they were the ones to soften up later on, things could still change.

Knowing he’d be brought along made Liao Kai overjoyed, and he kept promising he would make no mistakes.
