Chapter 458: Chapter 458 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 73_1

Unexpectedly, Old Liu actually provided such a thought.

"Affiliation?" Zhao Wenjin knew that many people in the future earned a good income without working, just by taking exams to obtain certificates and then affiliating them out.

What was unexpected was that Liao Kai had figured it out on his own, "This is indeed a good option."

Especially since the income Old Liu mentioned was quite good, "The income is quite good."

"Right, it’s almost equal to my annual salary."

"I’ve made up my mind. I want to continue obtaining certificates. One certificate can make so much money," Liao Jun swallowed hard.

"No wonder everyone says ’In books there are fields of gold.’ That saying is really true."

"I never imagined that by just being responsible for a small part of the work at my workplace, once I get a professional certificate, I could make so much money."

Liao Kai truly regretted, "I really should have made more effort to study back then. Studying now should be easy for me."

"No worries, at least you know to work hard, and it’s better to take the exams sooner rather than later. In the future, exams will only get harder."

Especially when it comes to computerized question banks, the questions will really be unimaginable.

When Liao Kai heard this, he understood it to mean that as one gets older, memory fades and it becomes more challenging to take exams.

"Right, while my daughter is in high school, I have to try harder and harder," he said.

Not only to obtain more certificates, but also to strive to buy one or two properties to rent out.

It seems that it’s now possible to take out a mortgage to buy houses, "What do you think if I buy property with a mortgage?"

Can you already get a mortgage to buy a house now? That’s right, it seems that banks have already started offering private loans.

But many people think that taking out a loan with the bank involves paying interest, and many are reluctant to do so, preferring to wait until they have enough cash on hand before considering buying a house.

In doing so, they just watch as property prices soar, "I think it’s a good idea, especially since you have a job right now."

It’s really easy to get a loan if you have a job, "And with a 20-year mortgage, it’s just a few hundred a month to pay back."

"Once you affiliate your certificates out, you’ll have an income."

"Even if you don’t have that income, you can use the rent to pay it off," Zhao Wenjin’s eyes lit up, "I want to buy a house, too."

"Then I’ll collect rent." In case Liao Jiayu graduates from college and wants to study abroad, they must support her.

Also, if they go travelling by car, the financial pressure is not small, so having more rental income is good too.

What started as a spur-of-the-moment idea for Liao Kai turned into a firm decision when he saw Zhao Wenjin’s agreement, "Alright, I’m going to buy two."

Over these days, he had really saved a lot of money, which made him deeply regret his previous foolish behavior.

If he hadn’t acted so foolishly back then, he might have already acquired several properties by now.

Once the couple had this idea in mind, they visited various properties after sending Liao Jiayu to her tutoring class during the weekend.

Despite the city’s size, there really weren’t too many apartment building projects. They visited a few complexes.

"This one?" Liao Kai felt that this complex was the best among them.

Zhao Wenjin also agreed, considering the location, school district, residential environment, and surrounding facilities, it was really good.

Not far away, a subway line under construction was nearby, with a station accessible just a few minutes on foot from the residential area, a prime subway property you wouldn’t want to miss.

Just as she was about to agree, she saw Liao Jun’s wife walking by with a group of people.

They sat in the car, Liao Jun’s wife of course didn’t know, and excitedly began introducing them to relatives.

"Our wedding house is in this community..."

A sharp female voice chimed in, "Did your husband also help your parents buy a place?"

"It’s on a loan." Although Liao Jun’s wife wasn’t entirely satisfied with his age, especially with a son already in the picture,

he was indeed generous with his money, no one would be willing to buy a house for their future in-laws, only Liao Jun was willing.

Although the property was currently in Liao Jun’s name, she was confident that once she had a child, she would definitely make him pay off the loan and then transfer it to her brother.

"But I’ve heard from your mom that the loan is being paid by your husband..."

No way, Zhao Wenjin hadn’t expected that eavesdropping around the corner, she could actually hear such explosive news.

Surprised, she looked at Liao Kai, who shook his head at her, "I really didn’t know."

Thinking back on Zhang Zhaodi’s angry expression, Liao Kai began to understand why the old lady had been so upset.

"I get it, I understand now, why the old lady was so angry."

Liao Kai laughed, but as he laughed, he began to cry, "Liao Jun bought a house for the Yue family, taking care of his brother-in-law and them, and yet he never bought one for his own parents."

"And to top it off, he sides with them, scheming to take advantage of me."

"What a good mother indeed." Liao Jun took a deep breath, "Sometimes people are so biased that no matter how you treat them, they only see you as a filial son."

Liao Jun had thought he wouldn’t be so heartbroken, but, in the end, he couldn’t control his tears.

No way, he’s crying? Zhao Wenjin watched the man before her, who burst into tears at a moment’s notice, unsure of what to do.

Having no other option, she could only watch Liao Kai cry, wanting to console him somehow, yet not knowing how to.

After some time, Liao Kai’s emotions finally began to calm down, his sobs slowly subsiding, bringing relief to Zhao Wenjin.

Otherwise, if he kept crying like this, it wouldn’t be good. Just as she let out a sigh of relief,

"This community is nice, but with Liao Jun and them here, I don’t want to buy."

Even if the houses here were for rent, he would likely not stay here. But the thought of living in the same community as Liao Jun made Liao Kai feel quite uneasy.

Seeing Liao Kai insist on not staying here, Zhao Wenjin naturally agreed, "Actually, I don’t want to live in the same community as them either."

Once Zhang Zhaodi and the others found out, would they demand to move into a house? Whether Liao Kai agreed or not,

having no rental income was a minor issue, but if his elders moved in, wouldn’t Liao Kai have to renovate the house?

And if Zhang Zhaodi and the others stayed for a long time, leading to Liao Bin also moving in later, and once the elders passed away, reclaiming the house would be a big problem.

Even if the house was under Liao Kai’s name, it might as well be Liao Bin’s.

"We shouldn’t buy any houses around here either." There was another community nearby that Liao Kai also liked.

But now he had completely given up on the surrounding communities, not wanting to see Liao Jun and his family at all.

"No problem." There are many other good communities, just because there isn’t one now, doesn’t mean there won’t be in the future.

"Better communities will come up later." Zhao Wenjin glanced at the time, ready to start the car and leave.

"Oh, about the New Year’s gifts this time, what do you plan to do?" The Zhao family didn’t have many close relatives, and more distant ones, and Zhao Wenjin had already made the rounds a few days ago.

"Just my dad’s side." As for his uncle and them, with the relationship already so bad, there was no need to bother.
