Chapter 462: Chapter 462 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 77_1

Liao Xuan stood at the door, waiting and waiting, but inside her heart, she was ceaselessly praying, hoping that the university entrance exam would consist of all the questions that Liao Jiayu couldn’t answer.

All the questions she had done were wrong; it wasn’t only about getting into a renowned university, but she might not even be admitted to an undergraduate program.

Currently, the conditions at Liao Jun’s home allowed them to have the best situation amongst the three siblings. If Liao Jiayu scored well on the exam, it seemed likely that her future prospects wouldn’t be bad either.

This would mean that she, out of the three siblings, would have the worst situation, and the usually competitive Liao Xuan truly couldn’t accept that.

Today was the last day of the entrance exams, and even if Liao Jiayu had rested well, the three days of high-intensity testing still left her feeling exhausted.

As many students came out of the examination room performing a show of all sorts of reactions, Liao Jiayu had no desire to join in.

For her at this moment, aside from excitement and elation, what she felt was tiredness.

"Let’s rest a bit and then go out to eat, and after that, we’ll go home." Finally, the exams were over.

Despite having a car to drop her off and pick her up, and the car being air-conditioned, even waiting for Liao Jiayu inside an air-conditioned store during the exams, Zhao Wenjin still felt exhausted.

Luckily she only had one child, and thankfully, the child’s grades were good; there was no notion of retaking a year to resit the exam.

Otherwise, just the thought of going through this again next year was unbearable, and no one could guarantee it wouldn’t happen.

They also felt fortunate that the university applications were filled out before the exams; otherwise, waiting for the results and then selecting preferences would be a hassle for the parents.

"We’ll rest for a couple of days, and then we’ll take a trip around," Zhao Wenjin and her partner had already planned the trip, "First, we’ll take a tour around the neighboring province, and then, once the results are out, we’ll wait for the admission letter at home."

After all, once the results are out, it’s time to wait for the admission notice; otherwise, if someone else falsely claimed it, they would be the ones crying.

Ah, she had just come out of the exam room without any rest, and her family had already planned a trip.

"Aren’t we going to wait for the results at home?" Although she hadn’t asked her classmates about their plans after the entrance exams, they would definitely plan to wait for the results at home.

"Whether we wait or not, the papers are handed in; waiting at home and waiting outside will lead to the same result," Zhao Wenjin was very decisive.

"And it’s more nerve-wracking to wait at home."

"Plus, your dad and I have discussed that once you’re in university, we’re going to travel around the country."

It was time to tell their child about the decision, not right before they left.

Travel around the country? Including her parents? Liao Jiayu knew that travel comics actually sold quite well, so she wasn’t surprised that Zhao Wenjin would be traveling.

What surprised her was that even Liao Kai planned to travel, "Dad won’t be going to work anymore?"

"I’ve arranged for leave with salary at my work." With this policy in place at his unit, of course, Liao Kai would take advantage of that.

This way, when he retired, he would still receive a pension; it was certainly better than taking a long-term sick leave.

Ah, Liao Jiayu felt completely dizzy; she had never imagined that once she started university, she would become a so-called ’left-behind child.’

"Will I be the only one at home?"

"What if I need to find you for something?" Liao Jiayu began to panic.

Although since starting high school, she had been making all her decisions independently, the fact that her parents were close by meant she never felt anxious.

Now that they were gone, her parents were already in some unknown place; "What if something happens?"

"As long as it’s not a matter of life and death, it’s all minor issues."

"Even if there’s a thief at home or if something happens with your grandparents."

Though Liao Daqiang and his wife hadn’t caused any trouble in the last two years, what if, as they aged, they started making muddled decisions again?

"When it’s time to shoulder the responsibilities that fall to our family, especially the financial ones, you just pay up,"

"Your uncle and the others are either busy with their businesses or their jobs; they probably won’t visit the hospital to take care of things. Just say there’s no one at home to do it,"

"See what they do then. Worst comes to worst, we can hire a nanny to do the work,"

"But I predict your grandfather is a smart man; he’ll pay for it himself,"

In recent years, the younger ones have been making money, and Liao Daqiang and his spouse have also earned quite a bit. Apart from renting out three properties and having a steady rental income every month,

they also receive pensions, and they don’t spend much, so the two of them have definitely bought at least another property outside.

Once people start to feel disappointed in their children and enjoy the pleasure of collecting rent every month, they are sure to invest the money in more properties to increase their rental income,"

"Anyway, in a nutshell, whatever your uncle does, you do the same. If it comes to paying, everyone pays together,"

"If there’s caring to be done, then everyone should take care of it together," Liao Kai summarized from the side.

"When the time comes, I’ll leave some money for you. If they need money, you go to the bank and withdraw it,"

Liao Kai had long anticipated many things and had factored them all into his calculations,

Having eaten and drunk their fill outside, they talked about how tired they were and wanted to go back to rest—yet the thought of going on a trip soon had them eager to buy a few beautiful outfits.

The three of them went back to the mall to shop for clothes again, never imagining that someone would be waiting for them at home.

Liao Xuan waited until the sun set, and with no signs of anyone coming back, she wondered if Liao Jiayu had performed poorly in her exams and thus went somewhere to vent her frustrations.

But when her stomach started growling and the time was already seven or eight in the evening, she really couldn’t stand it anymore and guessed that they had gone out to eat.

"Really, just for a loss-making venture like taking the college entrance exam, and without even knowing the results, they’re out there showing off,"

At the thought of them going out to eat, Liao Xuan felt her own stomach rumbling even more,

"Mommy, I’m hungry," Liao Xuan’s son couldn’t hold back any longer, having only had some snacks earlier and now unable to bear it any longer,

"Just wait a bit more, wait for your second uncle to come back, then we can have something good to eat." Remembering that Zhao Wenjin was picky about food, even though they might have already had a good dinner, there was no reason not to take care of dinner for the two of them,

And so they waited and waited, until Liao Xuan’s son couldn’t take the hunger anymore and began to cry loudly, leaving her no choice but to carry the child and head back,

Xie Haiqing, upon seeing the mother and son return, was about to say something when his little son started to tattle, complaining that Liao Xuan wouldn’t feed him and made him starve,

Xie Haiqing’s parents, hearing their precious grandson’s complaint, immediately took offense, "Liao Xuan, what’s going on with your family? Not giving you two food to eat?"

Xie Haiqing was also very displeased and collectively reprimanded Liao Xuan and the Liao family,

The more Liao Xuan listened, the angrier she got, particularly when she saw the in-laws only taking care to feed their grandson and not even preparing dinner for her; she exploded,

"Xie Haiqing, remember this, I work and make money just like you do. Your salary may be higher than mine, but after deducting the tuition fees for your brother and sister, how much is left? Don’t you know?"

"You should do as much as you can afford. Your siblings’ marriages after they graduate are their own concern, not my responsibility,"

"When you got married, what did your family take care of?"

"Yet when your brother and sister got married, I was expected to take care of it. What should I take care of?"

Remembering her female colleagues’ attire, Liao Xuan was furious, "Starting today, we each take care of our own expenses. Your parents care for the grandson if they wish; the child carries your surname,"

"If they’re unwilling to take care, fine then. I’ll send the kid to my mother’s place; I’ll pay for my parents to look after him, and your parents can get lost,"

Liao Xuan felt that they couldn’t be spoiled any longer, their behavior was getting increasingly out of hand, "And don’t talk about your high salary either. You earn more, but have you spent it on me?"
