Chapter 419: Chapter 419 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 34_1

Liao Daqiang saw Zhang Zhaodi return home listlessly and asked, "What happened, did they say something unpleasant?"

"I told you, you shouldn’t have gone." Actually, Liao Daqiang was also feeling a bit panicked inside.

But it was impossible for him to lower his head; he knew why Zhang Zhaodi had gone out.

Seeing Zhang Zhaodi come back spiritless, the old master felt relieved that he hadn’t accompanied her.

Zhang Zhaodi let out a soft sigh, "You have no idea what I heard them talking about outside."

"And here I was worried, thinking they’d be lonely during the New Year by themselves, but look at them, they know how to live a good life."

"They are even planning, during the Spring Festival, to take a plane with their family of four down to The South."

"Take a plane?" Feng Lili and the others exclaimed, as none of them had ever flown before.

Now Zhao Wenjin was planning to take Liao Jiayu on a plane trip to The South for the Spring Festival. For some reason, everyone present, one and all, was incredibly envious of Liao Kai.

Liao Bin was the angriest, "Why can that loser take a plane and I can’t?"

"It’s all your fault. You can’t make money and that’s one thing, but to have such in-laws!"

"Your aunt’s parents set aside a room for her, whereas your parents only ask you to cough up money."

Liao Bin knew his grandparents treated him well, but that was also because his family often gave them money.

"I don’t care, I also want to go play in The South, I want to fly there!" Liao Bin cried and made a scene, forcing the Liao family to meet his demands.

Watching her nephew throw his tantrum, Liao Xuan was really getting more and more infuriated. When he was young, such behavior could barely be considered cute.

Now he was already a big lad, and yet, he was still acting this way; it was unbearable to watch.

"Alright, I’m going back to my room." Liao Xuan yawned and was ready to go back to rest.

Feng Lili, irritated upon seeing Liao Xuan ready to return to her room after eating her fill, said, "Liao Xuan, aren’t you going to wash the dishes?"

"I went to the market to buy groceries today." She had spent so much money, and her heart was still bleeding.

"I also cooked the meal, what did you do?"

"How can you just eat and then go rest?" Don’t you know that the person who cooks shouldn’t wash dishes, and the one who washes dishes shouldn’t have to cook?

Liao Xuan genuinely had never considered that she might have to wash dishes and looked at Feng Lili in bewildered silence.

"Back then, Zhao Wenjin both bought groceries and cooked meals, and she also washed the dishes."

"You need someone to accompany you to buy groceries, and as for cooking, my second brother cooked three dishes."

"What’s wrong with washing the dishes?" Liao Xuan used to be on good terms with Feng Lili, so of course, she knew about her obsessions.

"Didn’t you always want to compare yourself with Zhao Wenjin, to outdo her in every way? Why aren’t you comparing now?"

"Oh right, your son wants to go play in The South, wants to fly there. Sister-in-law, you should think about how to resolve this issue."

Liao Xuan snorted coldly, twirled around, and went back to her room to rest. Expect her to do chores? They obviously hadn’t seen how big her face was.

Xie Haiqing also had a lot on his mind. He had secured the house, but decorating it was to be paid for by them, and because of this, he wouldn’t be able to send his salary home this month and for the following few months.

Although the family said they could get by, Xie Haiqing still felt uneasy.

Remembering the furniture and appliances Liao Xuan had been looking at, Xie Haiqing wanted to persuade her that it really wasn’t necessary to spend so much money.

But every time, Liao Xuan would block him by saying that the Liao family paid for the house, and since he hadn’t provided a dowry when getting married, it was really indefensible not to decorate the house.

But today, hearing that his brother-in-law’s family was planning to travel down to The South for the Spring Festival by plane, his mood was very sour.

Going on a vacation, especially by plane, wasn’t that just a waste of money?

For a junior high school girl, was it necessary to spend that much? Wouldn’t it be better to just focus on studying?

Couldn’t this money help out relatives in need? Xie Haiqing was very unwilling in his heart.

Returning to the room, Xie Haiqing found that Liao Xuan, who had said she wanted to rest, still hadn’t fallen asleep, "Haven’t you slept yet?"

Liao Xuan hummed, "I can’t sleep, I really can’t rest."

"To save money in every way possible, I’m running around, hoping to find things that are both cheap and good."

"And yet they talk about going on trips just like that."

"They have no idea of helping at all." Liao Xuan said indignantly.

"If your sister-in-law is unwilling to help, there’s nothing we can do, but I remember your second brother, wasn’t he always good to you?" Xie Haiqing knew about Zhao Wenjin’s dislike for the Liao Family, asking her for money was as hard as reaching the sky.

Then change the target, couldn’t they ask Liao Kai?

Zhao Wenjin, the stingy one not willing to spend money, would Liao Kai be generous? Liao Xuan rolled her eyes, "My dad gives him a couple of words, and he just walks away."

"Even when my dad says after he’s gone, there’ll be no house, Liao Kai retorts, ’I won’t give money in the future either.’"

"That’s true." Remembering Zhao Wenjin’s usual generous nature, "Given the choice, I’d rather choose a daughter-in-law."

"With a daughter-in-law, you can eat and drink well, go sightseeing, and the key point is that you don’t have to spend your own money."

"Following my dad, it’s all about spending money, and you can’t get anything good out of it." Everyone knows that Liao Daqiang only has eyes for his eldest son and grandson.

"Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Liao Kai is not even willing to spend money on my parents, let alone hope he will spend on me."

"I should just be honest." It’s not that I’m not tempted, but if he won’t even give face to his parents, how much face can he give to me, his own sister?

Liao Xuan could only give up, "Right, next week let’s go choose the furniture."

These days, Liao Xuan was really busy, often discussing with her already married colleagues and classmates about where to buy furniture.

When Xie Haiqing heard that Liao Xuan was making him look at furniture again, his mind almost exploded, "Wife, wasn’t the furniture we looked at last time pretty good?"

Although it was beyond his expectations, he could barely accept it within his range.

Looking at other places for furniture would definitely be even more expensive.

"It is good, but I don’t feel it’s quite right for me."

"I’m only getting married this once, you wouldn’t want me to feel compromised, would you?" It’s not that she was unaware that Xie Haiqing’s salary had to be mailed over, but now that they were getting married, was she expected to prepare everything?

If she had to prepare everything, what’s the difference from someone taking her in as a son-in-law?

Xie Haiqing really wanted to say, would marrying me be that much of a compromise? If you feel it’s a compromise, then there’s no need to marry me.

But he dared not say it now, for fear that she might actually say, if not marrying, then so be it; he would truly be heartbroken.

Knowing how to make Liao Xuan happy, Xie Haiqing had that down to an art. He knew exactly how to cheer her up.

Soon enough, Liao Xuan was smiling from ear to ear, discussing their future happy life.

Seeing how easily he managed to handle Liao Xuan, Xie Haiqing didn’t have the pride he used to, but rather a bittersweet feeling. Being so good at making someone happy, what was the use?

If he had met a wealthy woman, not to mention a house wouldn’t be a problem, they might even have a car.

Looking at Liao Kai, no matter how he saw it, he seemed inferior in all aspects, but what was the result? The man had managed to change his fate through marriage.

Liao Xuan had no idea that in just this short period of time, Xie Haiqing had thought through so much. She was just considering how to raise their children in the future.

Listening to Liao Xuan’s requirements for raising children, Xie Haiqing only had one thought in his mind: all these things needed money to support.

So troubling, it was really troubling. He really wanted to say that he and his siblings didn’t do all those things when they were young, and yet they still achieved very good grades.

He was actually curious to see how Liao Jiayu, who’s always eating and drinking out, playing around everywhere, would perform in her exams.
