Chapter 438: Chapter 438 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 53_1

Zhao Wenjin saw Liao Jiayu’s fondness for Huahua and excitedly walked while introducing Huahua’s situation.

"Girls tend to have a soft heart," she mused, and knowing Huahua’s situation, her heart ached for the little creature.

She hugged Huahua and showered her with kisses, "From now on, you are my little sister, and I will definitely take good care of you."

The mother and daughter, with the dog in tow, headed home, oblivious to the commotion happening across the street.

Indeed, could any disturbance compete with the importance of chatting with Huahua or returning home for a meal?

When the pair arrived home, Liao Kai saw them and quickly started preparing their meal, not forgetting to make a special dish for Huahua and placing it in her bowl.

"Oh, by the way, Liao Kai is divorced now," Liao Kai mentioned, having received a call from Zhang Zhaodi today.

Divorced? "Shouldn’t he have divorced a long time ago?" Zhao Wenjin asked, amused. It had been several days, and Feng Lili had said she would go file for divorce the next day.

"Yes, the next day Feng Lili packed her clothes and left," he explained.

"Then Liao Jun had regrets, he wanted to remarry," said Liao Kai, unsure how to judge the situation.

Regretting so soon after the divorce? Zhao Wenjin couldn’t help but laugh, "Didn’t he say his prospects were good, that remarriage would be quick?"

"Your parents and your brother think Liao Bin isn’t good enough, so why not find a young girl and have another child?" she suggested sarcastically.

"If the main account is ruined, just raise a sub-account." Although she thought the main account hadn’t been properly managed, if a sub-account were created, it would likely be another failure.

However, it’s best to keep such thoughts to oneself and not express them—it’s really too disheartening.

Liao Kai and his daughter’s assessment made Zhao Wenjin laugh. Liao Jiayu, now speaking with a hint of sarcasm, said, "Mom, do you think the sub-account won’t be a failure?"

"What if it turns out to be even more of a disappointment than the main account?" Liao Jiayu felt the odds were exceptionally high.

As for this, Zhao Wenjin thought for a moment, "It’s okay, it’s your uncle’s burden, not ours."

"Maybe it’s because the main account wasn’t raised well, he’ll learn his lesson and ensure the sub-account doesn’t make the same mistakes."

If Liao Jun were to put more heart into the sub-account, he might not end up raising another failure, and even if the child didn’t excel, they would surely be much better than Liao Bin.

Regarding this hypothesis, Liao Jiayu didn’t even need to comment. Liao Bin, who knew his parents best, said, "My parents will fight for the rights to educate and raise a child."

"They worry their children won’t be dependable," Liao Kai complained today after hearing more grumbling from Zhang Zhaodi.

This time it was not just about accusing him of being an undutiful son, but also including Liao Jun, Liao Xuan, and even Liao Kai in her complaints.

"They can’t count on the son, so they turn their hopes to the grandson?" Zhao Wenjin was astonished.

"Why haven’t they considered that in life, one must rely on oneself." After completing many tasks, some find a partner, lead a lifetime of singledom, have children, or don’t have children.

But the best way to have a good life is to have money in hand and a balanced mindset.

Only then can one truly have a good and happy life.

Liao Jiayu disliked hearing this and was visibly displeased, "Mom, why do you have to be on your own?"

"I know my dad isn’t reliable," Liao Jiayu glared fiercely at Liao Kai a few times, blaming him for her mom’s heartache and the ensuing problems.

It was him, it had to be him; although Liao Jiayu had to admit that Liao Kai had been quite nice to her in recent days, she couldn’t overlook how poorly he’d treated her and her mother in the past.

Liao Kai pinched his nose, knowing that things weren’t great when Zhao Wenjin spoke like that and that Liao Jiayu was bound to react.

"I’ll take good care of you from now on." It was his excessive actions that had led to Zhao Wenjin’s disappointment in him.

Watching the father and daughter trying to cheer her up, Zhao Wenjin laughed, "It’s fine, really, it’s fine."

"I’m just reflecting a little." Zhao Wenjin said as she watched Huahua earnestly eating.

"I remember you agreed, Xiao Yu. After we got the dog, you would walk it every day."

"I remember," Liao Jiayu nodded, indicating she knew.

"Alright, you’ll start walking the dog tomorrow," Zhao Wenjin also indicated that the allowance would increase.

Liao Jiayu had already given up on asking Zhao Wenjin to increase her allowance. After all, with Huahua being so sensible and cute, it didn’t matter if she didn’t get more pocket money.

"Take it. A promise made is a promise to be kept." As a qualified parent, fulfilling promises was a must.

Liao Jiayu knew Zhao Wenjin had money and didn’t argue with her.

Liao Kai knew that, in order to get into a good high school, Liao Jiayu studied late into the night every day. If she had to get up early as well, wouldn’t it be too unhealthy?

"I’ll walk the dog in the morning, and you can do it in the evening." Knowing that walking the dog meant more pocket money for the child, he couldn’t deprive her of that.

"It’s okay, Dad, I can memorize vocabulary in the morning." Liao Jiayu felt that although her rest time was now reduced, it was an opportunity to adapt and exercise.

"When I start high school, I’m probably going to stay up even later." Attending a good high school meant facing even greater pressure.

"When you go to high school, I’m planning to buy a car," Zhao Wenjin had even taken some driving lessons on the side these days, and it could be said that her driving skills had improved a lot.

She thought it was time to buy a car, "That way, I can also drive Xiao Yu to school."

Liao Jiayu was surprised, "We’re going to buy a car for the house." She knew why they had sold their car before—it was because they didn’t use it very often.

If they bought one now, she didn’t know what the others would think or whether they would again get any ideas.

"I won’t drive." Liao Kai quickly made his stance clear, having adapted to the routine of commuting without a car.

After some teasing by colleagues for a long time, they stopped since he did not drive to work, yet he seemed to live quite comfortably.

His well-being was not a result of showing off, but rather because they had visited The South for the New Year holidays, and occasionally when they ate out, they encountered quite a few colleagues.

This discouraged those who had intended to make fun of him—although he didn’t have a car, his daily life still seemed better than theirs.

Being able to travel out of town, dining out frequently, and most importantly, spending his own salary as he wished—this made many married men and women envious.

Liao Kai also changed his previous boastful and showy attitude; although he would occasionally chat with colleagues, he read books more often.

His company was doing well with a steady stream of orders, wages paid on time, plus quarterly and annual bonuses, making life pretty comfortable.

But no one knew what the future might hold. Perhaps it would be good, or perhaps it would become like the now struggling businesses without orders.

Not long ago, Liao Kai met up with some classmates; hearing about the struggles of those without jobs, he contemplated his own situation.

It dawned on him that finding a job would be very difficult if he were to be laid off.

It wasn’t a matter of finding a job with a similar salary and benefits; he might even have to work in a workshop.

This thought scared him considerably. Recalling Zhao Wenjin once advising him to learn new things and improve himself, he felt fortunate that he had taken her advice to heart.

Although he hadn’t received any certificates yet, he felt more confident about the future.
