407: Chapter 407 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 22_1 407: Chapter 407 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 22_1 Liao Jiayu returned ho, and to her slight surprise, she saw that Liao Kai was also there.
Seeing that Zhao Wenjin had no objections, she didn’t say anything.
“Go wash your hands, then we can get ready to eat.”
“From now on, your dad will be the one cooking, unless he has to work overti.”
“Of course, unless your dad is unhappy, sulks, and decides to run away from ho.”
“When that happens, we’ll just go out to eat.” If a certain soone wasn’t cooking at ho, Zhao Wenjin was too lazy to cook and would rather eat out.
Liao Jiayu knew that Liao Kai would be the one cooking from now on, but she couldn’t tell if she was looking forward to it or not happy about it.
Although Liao Kai’s cooking was tastier than Zhao Wenjin’s, it definitely couldn’t compare to a restaurant’s.
She also knew that Liao Kai disliked dining out because he thought it was a waste of money.
“If your dad doesn’t leave ho, we’ll go out to eat twice a week.” It was good to change things up occasionally.
Go out to eat?
Restaurant als are so expensive.
Liao Kai was a bit reluctant but knew better than to protest, choosing instead to listen quietly.
“Of course, if soone is reluctant and doesn’t want to dine out, I have no objections.”
“You can eat at ho.”
“But I do hope that soone will go out to eat and get a taste of the chefs’ skills outside, so that when they get back ho, they can continue to improve and enhance their own cooking skills.”
“You can’t just think your cooking is good enough and have no motivation to improve it even by a little.”
“People have to keep progressing, don’t you think?” Zhao Wenjin looked at Liao Kai.
She was really treating him like a chef now, and Liao Kai was full of reluctance, but he didn’t have much choice since he wasn’t the one bringing in the money.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely work hard to improve.” Sigh, life can be so difficult.
He had to be diligent at work during the day, and even coming ho in the evening offered no respite.
“And breakfast shouldn’t always be the sa few options, either.
You need to think about how to make improvents and increase our happiness index.”
Keeping Liao Kai busy, spinning in a whirlwind of tasks, would leave him with less ti to think about irrelevant matters or gossip.
Breakfast needs changing too?
Liao Kai was taken aback.
“I think our breakfast is quite good.”
Comparing it to the Great Northwest, the difference was indeed substantial, and in his heart, he felt the breakfast was pretty satisfying.
Unfortunately, his satisfaction didn’t matter if Zhao Wenjin wasn’t happy.
He couldn’t afford to displease the breadwinner.
In short, he had to make sure the breadwinner was happy; that was the only way his life would be easy.
“I’ll work on it gradually.
By the way, do you guys have any breakfast dishes you want to try?
I can practice making them in the next few days.”
Zhao Wenjin, of course, had so preferences, ntally noting down the food she wanted to try, “You don’t have to make all of them, just one or two is fine.”
“After all, you’ll have plenty of ti to cook in the future.”
“You can keep practicing.”
“By the way, about buying groceries, do you want to account for it daily, or should I give you a lump sum, and you report and collect money after it’s used up?”
Zhao Wenjin used to be the one buying groceries, but now she didn’t feel like going to the market every day.
Even if Liao Kai skimd a little off the top for himself, how much could he really take?
Such petty cash wasn’t worth fretting over.
“You want to buy the groceries?” Liao Kai was startled by Zhao Wenjin’s words.
Previously, it was always his wife who did the shopping.
The thought of him being allowed to shop was astonishing to him.
“I have started taking so illustration gigs now and then, and the inco is not bad,” she said without going into specifics.
“So I want to focus on improving my skills.”
“Grocery shopping takes up too much ti.”
“You can pinch a bit of money from it, but don’t be too greedy, or else you know what will happen.”
Zhao Wenjin’s smiling face instantly turned cold as she looked at him, “I can turn hostile anyti, anywhere now.”
Liao Kai imdiately made all sorts of promises, assuring that he would absolutely not embezzle funds or falsify accounts.
Zhao Wenjin waved her hand dismissively, “Enough already.”
“That’s just lip service.
As long as you expense within a reasonable range, that’s fine.”
“Too pure water has no fish; that much I understand.”
“We should eat fish twice a week, beef once a week, and if it’s winter, add one more serving of lamb.”
“If there’s duck or goose available, we can buy that.”
“For the rest, just use your judgnt.”
“Right, if you see any good seafood, buy so.
It seems to help improve children’s intelligence.”
Although she was not sure if it really worked, occasionally improving their als was a pretty good choice.
As Liao Kai listened to Zhao Wenjin’s food requirents, he was overjoyed.
Listen, this is what normal people should eat.
As for the als at the Liao family ho, they were truly subpar, “The food at ho is really awful.”
Liao Kai could not help but complain.
Zhao Wenjin chuckled, “That’s why I bring a lot of food ho every weekend when they invite over for als.”
“So from now on, except for holidays, I have no intention of going back.”
“Even if I do go back, I won’t buy groceries.
After all, it’s the Liao family’s business.”
“You can buy groceries to take back, of course, but that’s out of your own pocket.
I don’t want to see it on the bill.”
This had to be made clear, and Liao Kai nodded in acknowledgent, “I understand, I will definitely not use your money.”
“Speaking of which, have you forgotten what you were supposed to tell your daughter?” After talking for so long and seeing soone’s condition has improved a lot, it was ti to discuss the Liao family’s scandal.
The atmosphere at dinner today was great, making Liao Jiayu feel quite relaxed.
Hearing Zhao Wenjin’s comnt, the young girl tensed, wondering if there was bad news?
Liao Kai really didn’t want to talk about it, but Zhao Wenjin’s gaze made it clear he had no choice.
Reluctantly, he sighed softly and briefly ntioned the issue with Liao Xuan.
Liao Jiayu knew Liao Xuan had a boyfriend without money, but she didn’t expect her future uncle to send all his earnings back ho.
The young girl looked at Zhao Wenjin incredulously, “My aunt, she…
she doesn’t care much about money.
How could she, how could she…”
To quibble over a bit of money with her niece, yet end up choosing a boyfriend like that, it made no sense to her.
“Perhaps, maybe, it could be true love.” Flipping through the original mories, she could not find anything particularly impressive about Xie Haiqing.
Although he was from the Great Northwest, whether it was because his parents weren’t tall or due to insufficient nutrition during his growth period, he barely reached 170 centiters.
Not at all the strong and burly man she’d envisioned, and he wasn’t smooth with words.
In any case, he didn’t seem to fit what she believed was Liao Xuan’s aesthetic at all.
But the result seed to be two people, not on the sa wavelength, inexplicably in love, or rather, Liao Xuan seed to have invested more in the relationship.
“Forget it, that kind of true love…” Liao Jiayu shuddered, “I’d rather be without such ‘true love’.”
“Does your little aunt have enough for nice food, clothes, and things with her salary?” Liao Jiayu knew that foreign companies paid well, but also knew that it couldn’t sustain Liao Xuan’s expenses and still allow her to live comfortably.
Zhao Wenjin felt reassured that her daughter was sensible, “Exactly, you should date casually and find soone pleasing to the eye, soone you like.”
“But when it cos to marriage, there’s a lot more to consider.”
“I know, it’s about matching social and economic status.” Her parents’ unhappy marriage had made Liao Jiayu mature a lot these days, and she had studied marriage quite a bit.
