Chapter 424: Chapter 424 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 39_1

Liao Xuan rushed to the door of Zhao Wenjin’s house and knocked forcefully, "Zhao Wenjin, come out here."

"Liao Kai, come out."

Knocking was one thing, but she even kicked the door with force, yet at this moment Zhao Wenjin and her family of three had already boarded the southbound flight.

With nobody home, no matter how Liao Xuan knocked, there was no one to open the door.

The tenant landlord, who had unexpectedly just stepped out to use the bathroom, returned to see the landlord’s younger sister kicking the door.

Confused, he turned to the neighbor who was sunbathing at the shop’s entrance and was also keeping an eye on the shop, "Didn’t they tell you that Zhao Wenjin and her family had left home?"

Such a big event couldn’t possibly go without notice, the tenant thought. Maybe Zhao Wenjin wouldn’t say anything, but as The Filial Son, Liao Kai certainly would.

"I did tell her, but she doesn’t believe me, saying we’re lying," said the neighbor who was knitting, shaking her head helplessly.

"Such a brat..."

"She’s been spoiled, that’s all," the tenant knew the girl’s true colors.

Raising his voice, he said, "Listen, Miss Liao Jia, your brother and sister-in-law have gone on a trip, so stop kicking the door."

"If the door gets damaged, you’ll have to pay for it, and even though it’s not that expensive, it’s about eighty to ninety thousand in total."

"But considering you work for a foreign company, that amount of money shouldn’t be a big problem for you."

What? Liao Xuan screamed, "What kind of door costs that much?"

"Let me tell you," Liao Xuan soon calmed down, "I’ve renovated a house before, I know the price of doors."

"A door that costs two or three hundred at most would be quite decent." Hmph, trying to fool her? Did they think she was so easily deceived?

Two or three hundred? The tenant landlord laughed, "Right, you’re talking about ordinary doors, but don’t you know this is a courtyard door?"

"Don’t you realize this kind of door is much more sturdy?"

"Moreover, it was cut from a single piece of wood, all in one, with no joints whatsoever."

This door was sourced by the tenant landlord, so she was very familiar with all of the door’s specifications.

She mentioned the size and price of the door, "You can go ask around, you’ve renovated a house, you can find out."

Liao Xuan actually had some knowledge of this; when she was buying doors before, someone nearby was purchasing a courtyard door. It wasn’t as thick or large as this one, but the price was something she couldn’t forget.

She had never expected that the Zhao family’s front door would be this pricey, and Liao Xuan’s mouth hung open in shock.

Suddenly, she thought of something. If Zhao Wenjin had been able to spend so much money when she was renovating her house, she and Xie Haiqing would probably not have broken up.

Their breakup, in fact, was still a matter of money. Liao Xuan, furious, was itching to go home and make a big complaint.

Liao Xuan, previously unaware of the cost, had no fears; so what if the door got damaged, it was her sister-in-law’s home after all.

But now that she knew the price of the door, it truly scared her. She no longer dared to continue kicking, for if she truly damaged it, she definitely couldn’t afford the repair.

She had taken out loans to decorate her wedding house, and even though she was repaying it in installments to friends, it still needed to be repaid. Now, with just her salary, the pressure to pay off the debt was great.

Liao Xuan stormed back home. She was determined to properly complain when she got back, and of course, to also warn her family never, ever to kick the Zhao family’s front door.

Zhao Wenjin had never expected that the front door her original parents had replaced would cause such superstitions among the Liao family.

She was so tired she just wanted to sleep, and because of taking leave for the Spring Festival, she had to finish all her work before she could enjoy herself.

After being busy for several days, Zhao Wenjin still hadn’t recovered. When she returned home, the father-daughter duo of Liao Jiayu, who had initially been excited about flying, became all kinds of anxious.

This was due to many different issues, but mostly it was about safety concerns.

Even though Zhao Wenjin was exhausted, she had no choice but to explain properly, and as a result, she didn’t get much rest.

Once the plane had finished ascending, she planned to rest properly. Otherwise, how would she manage to lead the father and daughter around to eat and enjoy themselves after arriving at their destination?

According to her plan, a trip meant sleeping until naturally waking up, having dim sum for breakfast, and then it was just eat, eat, eat, boasting about the eight meals a day.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest, Liao Jiayu started listing all the places she wanted to visit, "Mom, I want to go to these places."

Ah? Liao Jiayu’s words instantly chased away Zhao Wenjin’s sleepiness. Although she hadn’t heard everything clearly, the places she did hear about were indeed local landmarks worth visiting.

"Okay, we’ll go there after we wake up and then find something to eat nearby," Zhao Wenjin replied.

Having no itinerary made, Zhao Wenjin’s main plan was to eat wherever they went and then take a taxi back to the hotel.

Now, the only issue was that the places they might go could be a bit far, but that wasn’t a problem—taking a taxi would do the job, even though the fare might be a bit expensive.

"Okay," Liao Jiayu would certainly not miss out on good food and agreed with Zhao Wenjin’s arrangements.

Liao Kai had even fewer problems with the plans, "I’ll follow you guys, and I can help you carry things."

He now knew his role very clearly—it was to do household chores and help carry things while out shopping.

"Okay," Zhao Wenjin was really satisfied with Liao Kai becoming more familiar with his role.

"We’ll just go to one place this time so we can really enjoy ourselves," said Zhao Wenjin, assuring them there was plenty of time.

She had considered whether to visit the surrounding areas as well but then thought it was unnecessary. In an era when transportation was not very convenient, traveling was not easy.

It was better to eat well, drink well, and have fun. Not only would they be more relaxed, but it would also allow them to explore more culinary delights.

Liao Jiayu had been worried that her sudden addition to the itinerary would disrupt Zhao Wenjin’s original plans. Now that she knew there was ample time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the father and daughter began to explore the in-flight meals. When Zhao Wenjin received her meal, she quickly wolfed it down.

Compared to the poor-tasting airline food of her previous life, she had to admit that the meals were pretty decent nowadays.

But even as decent as the in-flight meals were, they couldn’t compare to the food awaiting them.

The father and daughter stared at the speed Zhao Wenjin ate, stunned. They were considering whether to take their meals back to show their colleagues and classmates to prove they had been on a plane.

But Zhao Wenjin devoured her meal so efficiently, they didn’t know whether to eat theirs or take it with them—apparently, it looked quite tasty.

"You can take the food off the plane when you go back," Zhao Wenjin suggested.

"Otherwise, we’ll be there for a few days. Are you sure it will last that long?" Even if it wasn’t summer, the food wouldn’t taste the same after too long.

Once they heard that, the father and daughter agreed and started eating, continuously praising how delicious it was.

Listening to the father-daughter duo, Zhao Wenjin was also taken aback. Was it really that delicious?
