Chapter 435: Chapter 435 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 50_1

Walking on the way home, Zhao Wenjin suddenly remembered something very important.

"Why exactly did your parents ask us to come back?"

"One thing’s for sure, it’s definitely not about your sister’s wedding." At the critical moment, in the eyes of Zhang Zhaodi and the others, their son and grandson were still the most important.

"They can’t possibly be asking for money to help your brother buy a house for Liao Bin, can they?" That had been clearly refused before, and Zhang Zhaodi wouldn’t bring it up again.

As for that, Liao Kai didn’t know the reason either, "Let it be, they didn’t give a specific reason, so let’s not ask."

"Do you think they will get divorced this time?" Liao Kai was really starting to worry.

"Divorce is quite normal, doesn’t your mom always talk about knowing this matchmaker, knowing that one?"

"It might be just the right time for the matchmaker to help out with the son, daughter, and grandson together." Zhao Wenjin certainly didn’t understand why Zhang Zhaodi had such confidence.

Forget about it, stop thinking about it, "Oh, and if your mom finds you and asks me to persuade your sister-in-law not to divorce, don’t recruit me for that task."

The thing is, it’s wrong no matter whether it’s done well or not well.

Insisting on divorce meant Zhao Wenjin hadn’t persuaded sincerely.

To make Feng Lili not divorce, shouldn’t there be some promise given? With the Liao Family’s conditions, what can they really promise Feng Lili?

Thinking about it, Zhao Wenjin’s expression became stiff, "Do you think, is your family putting on a show for us today?"

Anyway, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that they were putting on a show, specifically targeting her, thinking she’d enjoy watching the excitement like a fool.

This really made Zhao Wenjin quite angry, if it was as she suspected, then the excitement was indeed a big loss.

Putting on a show? Liao Kai had always been worried, although he now had some complaints about the Liao Family people, he didn’t actually want to see Liao Jun get divorced.

But now, hearing what Zhao Wenjin said, "You mean, they don’t really want to get divorced at all?"

"I’m speculating."

"Speculating."

"Of course, perhaps they really do want to divorce."

"Or maybe they’re just putting on a show."

Zhao Wenjin couldn’t be sure if they were really just putting on a show, although in the original owner’s memories, Liao Jun and his wife had a good relationship.

But not being the person involved, how could she know if it was good? Now, as Zhao Wenjin, she didn’t interact much with them normally and hadn’t seen their interactions, so she didn’t know what their relationship was like.

"Their biggest problem is that Feng Lili uses the family’s money to help her own family, but even when that blew up, they didn’t suggest divorce."

"Just because Liao Bin is unsuccessful, they now want a divorce?"

"Or just because Liao Jun is taking sides?"

"I think that reason is really far-fetched."

If this happened to someone from the post-90s or post-00s generation, Zhao Wenjin wouldn’t find it strange at all; in fact, it would seem rather normal.

But is Feng Lili such an impulsive person? "I would talk about breaking up with you, because you only care about your family."

"But in the case of Liao Jun and his wife, Feng Lili is absolutely someone who only cares about her own family."

"And you also said, even if Liao Jun uses the so-called excuse of divorce to get Feng Lili to ask for money from her family, her family is not willing to give the money."

Liao Kai made a sound of agreement; Zhang Zhaodi had never stopped complaining about this every time they went back.

"Knowing that her family can’t be relied upon, why insist on getting a divorce?"

"With no house and no money, even if she has a salary?"

"But is her salary enough to cover renting a place?" The monthly expenses aren’t just rent; there are daily necessities, social obligations, and so on.

Although he didn’t know how much Feng Lili’s salary was, between renting a place and expenditures, her salary was definitely, definitely not enough.

Liao Kai thought about it and agreed, "It really isn’t a small sum."

"Of course, maybe she could live with her parents." Zhao Wenjin paused, "And then there’s the possibility she might have someone on the side."

Although this assumption seemed a bit far-fetched, it wasn’t entirely impossible—if there was no hope from her parents and not much money, yet she still could bring up divorce.

It’s quite likely that she has found someone else. Perhaps not yet, but at least one thing was certain—her heart was stirred.

What? Feng Lili might actually have someone on the side? Zhao Wenjin’s words really frightened Liao Kai.

"That shouldn’t be the case, after all, they were classmates, then colleagues. They really had feelings for each other."

Liao Kai had witnessed their sweetest moments and never expected them to reach this point.

Is it sad? "For many couples, 90% of the issues that arise are related to money."

"As long as there is money, there are fewer problems."

"Just like us, you don’t fuss over my money, and I take care of the household expenses and such."

"Everything is fine between us now, isn’t it?"

"You do the housework, I make the money, and we often go out for delicious food." Zhao Wenjin thought the original host was foolish.

She could’ve lived like a queen, yet chose a different path—for the life of her, she couldn’t understand it.

"Are you saying if my brother and his wife had money, they could’ve avoided all this?" Liao Kai understood what Zhao Wenjin was getting at.

Zhao Wenjin shook her head, "That’s not necessarily true, their family’s situation is a bit unique."

"They have a son who’s a delinquent; if they had money, it could actually make Liao Bin less inclined to do well."

"Without money, at least there’s a bit of restraint."

"Once they have money, just you watch." Zhao Wenjin really didn’t have hope for Liao Bin’s redemption.

A dropout kid hanging about all day, wandering around, never up to any good.

Wait, Zhao Wenjin didn’t know before that Liao Bin had dropped out. She thought the issues weren’t that serious.

Now that she knew this kid had actually dropped out, this called for a serious warning to Liao Jiayu.

When Zhao Wenjin got home, she mentioned to Liao Jiayu that Liao Bin had dropped out and was hanging out with delinquents all day long.

Liao Jiayu, seeing Zhao Wenjin’s urgent manner, thought she had something major to say but didn’t expect it to be about this.

"I know."

"A couple of days ago after school, I saw him smoking, with his arm around a girl, crossing the road opposite me."

A couple of days ago after school? Recently, it had always been Zhao Wenjin who picked her up from school, "How come I didn’t see him?"

"It happened right when you were talking about homework with someone." She was waiting idly and happened to glance across the street, that was when she saw it.

Oh, oh, oh, Zhao Wenjin recalled, "I don’t think this is a coincidence."

"How could it be that you see him time and time again at the school gate? Is that really just luck?"

Seeing him by chance once could be just that—chance, simply passing by, since delinquents are also quite busy.

But if you see him over and over again, especially during Liao Jiayu’s school dismissal time, Zhao Wenjin looked at Liao Kai.

Liao Kai’s expression grew serious, "As a delinquent, there are only a few ways to make money."

"Don’t be fooled by his tall and strong appearance; his actual ability to fight isn’t much to speak of."

Unable to fight means he couldn’t possibly collect protection money. And those delinquents’ expenses are not low—they need to keep up appearances, and that takes money to sustain.

"We need to quickly get a dog." A fierce dog at that, as a precaution against sneaky people.
