Chapter 456: Chapter 456 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 71_1

Liao Daqiang had no idea about any of these matters and was quite happy to see Liao Kai return home.

Now he had realized that among all the children, it was Liao Kai who was the most filial.

Every time he visited, he’d never come empty-handed; he would always bring something, whereas the other two never even thought of doing so.

To his surprise, Zhang Zhaodi pulled such a stunt; the old man didn’t need to ask to know who was behind the idea.

He promptly and unceremoniously slapped Zhang Zhaodi, "We have our pensions, and we’ll have rent to collect in the future. What do we have to worry about?"

"Whoever dares to be unfilial, fine, they won’t have a share of the house when the time comes."

"Liao Jun, don’t you start calculating Liao Bin’s expenses with me. How much money have you put in now that the child has grown this big?"

"Tuition, money for clothes, and pocket money, you and your wife never show up."

"Now you’re actually blaming us for not educating our children properly, like you could do a better job," the old man retorted sharply.

"You didn’t even let your son go to school, how could the child possibly be successful?"

"As for the old house, who it goes to in the future won’t be decided just as someone pleases; at the very least, one room per person."

"That’s out of the question."

"All four rooms are ours. If you’re unfilial and don’t look after us, we’ll simply sell the house."

"Usually we’d just rent this house out directly." Liao Daqiang looked at Liao Xuan, "You and your husband have already bought a house outside."

"Just move out, and don’t complain about the lack of a bathroom or kitchen here."

"After you move out, I’ll have some peace, and all three rooms can be rented out." He hadn’t wanted to say it; after all, she was his own daughter.

But now the old man felt he treated his children like dearest daughters and sons, yet they apparently felt entitled, like it was a given.

Liao Xuan and her husband did buy a house, but since they didn’t have enough money, they took out a mortgage with the idea of renting it out and continuing to live at home.

Unexpectedly, the old man came to know about this, and the consequences turned out to be quite severe.

Right away, Liao Xuan suspected it must have been Liao Jun who let the information slip, "Screw you, elder brother."

"I haven’t even mentioned that you took out loans to buy not one, but two houses, claiming one could be for your future in-laws to live in."

"And then you go spilling the beans about me having a house." Why should she be the only one to suffer? If there’s misfortune, it might as well befall everyone.

Zhang Zhaodi looked at Liao Jun in astonishment, her face filled with disbelief, "Elder brother, say something. How many houses did you really buy?"

"Didn’t you say you bought just one house and that the mortgage was a huge burden, asking me to go to the second brother to make a fuss, in the hope of moving in with him and renting out this entire place?"

"So that the rent could go towards paying your mortgage?" Zhang Zhaodi was aware of the hefty mortgage Liao Jun had to pay each month, which greatly worried the old lady.

Only under various analyses by Liao Jun had she come up with the idea to help with the mortgage payments.

Little did she expect, she was wholly invested in helping her son, yet this unfilial son was cunningly using her.

What? Upon hearing this, could Liao Xuan not be furious? She had never expected Liao Jun to scheme against Liao Kai, and also not forget to plot against her.

She was seething with anger, "Mom, you don’t know, but your precious elder son, in order to marry his wife, even promised that when his younger brother-in-law gets married, he, as the brother-in-law, would definitely treat him like his own real brother."

Liao Xuan was a cunning person herself. Often, when she went out with her future sister-in-law, she would subtly inquire about things.

The more Zhang Zhaodi heard, the angrier she became, "You made money but never thought of being good to us, never thought of buying us anything."

"Instead, you’re so considerate toward your wife’s family." Zhang Zhaodi was so furious she didn’t know what to say.

Liao Daqiang grabbed the agitated Zhang Zhaodi, no matter what, she was still his daughter-in-law, "Liao Jun, after raising you, you’re now getting married for the second time, and you’re already an adult."

"You must think that with the money you earn, you can spend it however you want, and there’s nothing wrong with that."

"The decision about the house was also made by your mom and me; Don’t think that after Xiao Bin gets out, your mom and I will take care of him."

"When the parents are around, grandparents have no responsibility to take care of grandchildren."

"Once he gets out, whether you take care of him or not, it’s up to you."

"Just think about it, you’re both marrying off your brother-in-law and buying houses and shelling out cash, taking care of the Yue family in every way."

"But when it comes to your own son, it’s all neglect," he said. "Think about Xiao Bin’s temperament."

"When the kid starts going crazy, we certainly won’t get involved."

"Alright, you’ve already bought a house, I don’t care what you plan to do, but I’m giving you one month to move out of our house."

"If you don’t want to move out, that’s fine too, just pay whatever the rent is." The people in the big, mixed courtyard next door have already rented out their place; just by asking around, you can find out the cost of rent.

Liao Jun was furious, hadn’t they raised Liao Bin, and didn’t the old couple know the whole story?

Now that they were pulling this, but in case the old couple really stopped caring, Liao Jun absolutely couldn’t ignore it, or else if the kid really started making trouble, no one would be able to withstand it.

"Why should I guarantee it? Why should I agree to my brother-in-law’s marriage, as an in-law I have to provide a substantial wedding gift."

"Isn’t it just because no girl is willing to marry me?"

"Xiao Bin is already a lost cause, I don’t want my future children to end up the same way."

"And as for Liao Kai, do you think he’ll take good care of you? In the end, it still depends on what Liao Bin does."

"After Xiao Bin gets out, with his lack of qualifications, he won’t find a job..." Liao Jun definitely wouldn’t be willing to deal with the mess that was Liao Bin.

Spending more money on a son who’s doomed to be a failure is pure foolishness; it’s better to invest in the younger son instead.

"He can just come help out at your store," Liao Daqiang said gruffly, "after all, you’re going to have to hire someone."

Have Liao Bin help out at the store? Liao Jun never considered it, "Unless I die, that’s absolutely impossible."

"What can he do? Take away my sales?"

"Spend all day bringing over his worthless friends to the store causing trouble?"

"You can say I’m heartless or that I’m inhuman, I’ll take it."

"No matter who I marry, whether she gives me a daughter or a son, I must educate them well and never repeat the same mistakes."

"Or else what will I do when I’m old?"

"With Liao Bin’s behavior, what expectations could I possibly have for him?"

"Without him, my later years in life could maybe hold some promise, where I could live out a peaceful old age."

"If I have to look after him, I’m looking at an early grave." Remembering Liao Jiayu, although she didn’t get along with Liao Kai, Liao Jun was genuinely envious of the child.

"When I have a child, mom and dad, you guys shouldn’t interfere either; the child’s grandfather is a teacher and knows how to educate them."

The reason he’s satisfied with his future wife is because her family has a teacher who knows how to educate children.

He simply didn’t believe that his own offspring would be any less than that of Liao Kai’s daughter.
