Chapter 457: Chapter 457 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 72_1

Liao Kai knew that once he reported back home, the house would certainly become noisy.

But did it have anything to do with him? It had absolutely nothing to do with him; they started plotting against people first.

Zhao Wenjin went out to run errands today and, since parking over there was inconvenient, she didn’t drive but instead took a taxi.

When she returned home and found Liao Kai wasn’t there, she thought he must have had something come up at work, although he generally didn’t need to work overtime, but there could always be something unexpected.

As for no one being at home to cook, that was an easy fix. Zhao Wenjin thought that she would just make some Western food today, steak and spaghetti.

One time, she took Liao Jiayu to a Western restaurant, and the child really liked steak, which was both convenient and simple.

It was cold, and even though they installed heating pipes at home, the electric kind, the house was big and still not warm enough.

"We should get some hot pot ingredients." Eating hot pot at home during winter was absolutely cozy.

Liao Jun rushed all the way, worrying about missing the time to cook dinner, but when he got home, he found that Zhao Wenjin was already back.

"Sorry, my mom came to my place, and I took her back home," Liao Kai mentioned what had happened today.

Zhao Wenjin knew that once Liao Jun had money in his hands, he would definitely get married, but she didn’t expect that Liao Jun, on his second marriage, would neglect the old couple of the Liao Family.

"It seems he has really found true love." Otherwise, Liao Jun, being The Filial Son, wouldn’t have acted like this.

"It’s probably also a venting of grievances. You know, he has always been more outstanding than me ever since we were little."

"And then our daughter gets into a key high school, while his son ends up needing reeducation."

"How could he not be angry?" Liao Kai felt that this was Liao Jun settling accounts in full.

Zhao Wenjin understood, "Are you sure that if he has another child, the child is bound to be successful?"

Children born to the same parents can’t all be guaranteed to be successful.

"Also, you’ve mentioned before that Liao Jun’s brother-in-law is also somewhat unambitious, really..."

Zhao Wenjin really didn’t know how Liao Jun came to believe that having a new wife and having a new child would ensure success.

Liao Kai also didn’t understand, "Anyway, it’s their business, we shouldn’t interfere."

"Getting involved would just be trouble." Zhao Wenjin knew that all Liao Kai had to do was take a stand.

"I was actually thinking of taking Xiao Yu out for some fun this winter vacation."

"But she said she wanted to take extra classes." Nowadays, children weren’t as competitive as those in the future generations, but they still got wound up.

She thought that there wouldn’t be many children taking extra classes, but to her surprise, there were indeed many, and she hadn’t known since she had never paid attention before.

"Extra classes during the winter vacation?" In addition to extra classes on weekends, now there were also extra classes during the winter vacation, which made Liao Kai sigh.

"That’s not easy." Everyone says Liao Jiayu has good grades, but no one knows how much the child has sacrificed for those grades.

"The child is serious and studious; all we can do is support her silently from behind."

As a parent at this time, other than support, it’s still support, "I was thinking of using the few days during the Spring Festival when there definitely won’t be classes."

"Then we can go somewhere nearby." Even though the child would surely prefer to stay home, Zhao Wenjin knew that once home, the child would definitely continue studying.

The best course of action is still to take the child out to move around, "She still needs a good rest."

Liao Kai grunted in agreement, "We do need to go out and about."

The two set aside the matters of the Liao Family and began to prepare dinner together while discussing where to stroll around.

At the moment, the two had again forgotten about going back home for the Spring Festival, though Zhao Wenjin did remember a thing or two.

However, she didn’t care too much; she didn’t want to be there to see how the Liao Family would put on their act.

"By the way, the travel comic I published last time has already finished serializing, and a publisher has come to me, looking to publish it as a book."

Just before Liao Kai came back, the editor called to tell her the good news, which made Zhao Wenjin very happy.

Originally, she serialized the comic thinking it might make a little money, and though drawing illustrations could also be profitable, it really didn’t have much influence.

Especially later, when more people would be drawing, many would enter the field of illustration, and competition would certainly be fierce. Even if she could make money, the earning potential would decrease.

Zhao Wenjin had always hoped to find a breakthrough but just didn’t know where to start.

Then unexpectedly, an idea that emerged from one trip opened the gates to a new world for her.

It made her realize there were indeed many ways to make money, "I’m thinking of driving around in a few days."

"I’ve thought of the title already: Traveling By Car." Currently, not many people travel by car, but there are still some.

She could paint the scenery along the way, letting people know there’s beauty to be seen on the road, "To let people know about more delicious food."

When the internet era arrives, she could be a fashionable elderly lady, showing delicious food and beautiful scenery to everyone through videos.

Traveling by car? Liao Kai knew that ever since their trip, no, ever since she became more assertive, Zhao Wenjin had her own ideas about everything.

But he hadn’t realized she had so many ideas, "If you drive alone, wouldn’t it be unsafe?"

About that concern, sure, there’s that worry, "So for now, I’ll go to well-known places, then ones with good public security."

"When there are more highways later, I’ll wander around more. By then, Xiao Yu will also be in university."

Liao Jiayu entering university would mark the start of a brand new life; she might not enjoy having her parents around, managing everything from head to toe.

Yes, in another two and a half years, Liao Jiayu would be going to university, and if Zhao Wenjin went out wandering every day, wouldn’t he be left all alone at home?

Wouldn’t he be living a pitiful single life at home? Though he would have everything he wanted and complete freedom to do as he pleased, the thought alone made Liao Kai feel very bored.

No, he definitely couldn’t stay home alone; that would be too pitiable.

"I’m not comfortable with you going out alone. Once our daughter is in university, let’s go together," Liao Kai decided swiftly.

Traveling with her? Having an extra travel companion was of course very welcome to Zhao Wenjin; they could take turns driving and have a sense of security.

But the issue was, "When our daughter goes to university, you won’t be retired yet. Will your workplace allow you to take a long leave?"

Getting a long-term medical leave now isn’t a big issue, but in a few years, when management becomes stricter, there probably won’t be people on long-term medical leave anymore, right?

"If I can get leave, I’ll take it; if I can’t, then we’ll see."

"Besides, I’m studying for certifications now, aren’t I? Old Liu and I talked, and he said that once I get the certifications, I could hang them up in their company, and they can pay me."

Liao Kai originally just wanted to inquire about how much salary he would get if he changed jobs and whether it was easy to find a new job.

That way, he could make a choice—whether to continue getting certifications or to change jobs.
