452: Chapter 452 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 67_1 452: Chapter 452 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 67_1 Liao Kai stood up, “Alright, I’ve delivered the gift money, I’m off because I have things to do.”
“By the way, when are your wife and the two of them coming back?
Xiao Yu getting into such a good high school, we should celebrate sohow.”
Even though he felt quite bitter, wondering why such good academic achievent couldn’t belong to Liao Bin, he still wanted to use the opportunity to improve the relationship with Liao Kai and his wife.
“Celebrating by traveling is enough, it’s just a middle school exam after all, nothing worth celebrating,” Liao Kai diplomatically refused.
Are you kidding ?
Zhao Wenjin certainly wouldn’t want to et with the Liao family, and with Liao Xuan and their sharp tongues, who knew what unpleasant things they’d say.
“Besides, don’t bother with the gift money if we’re not hosting a celebration,” Liao Kai knew this statent would definitely make them give up on the idea.
More gift money?
Liao Xuan frowned, “More gift money?”
“That’s right, did you think you could eat and drink for free?” Liao Kai rolled his eyes.
Liao Xuan really wanted to explode.
She stood up abruptly, about to point at Liao Kai, but Zhang Zhaodi, sensing trouble, pulled her back.
“It’s just a simple get-together to celebrate within the family,” Zhang Zhaodi also didn’t want to spend money.
Having run around for Liao Bin’s issues, they had already spent a lot.
The money on hand had to be saved.
Liao Kai couldn’t be bothered to question them.
Why was spending so much money on a grandson who was a criminal never a pain, yet when it ca to spending a little for a granddaughter who showed promise, they had to pinch every penny?
Later on, he thought better of it.
It really wasn’t necessary to ask, for any query would be t with all kinds of forced explanations.
So pointless, really so pointless, “When you’re happy, you shouldn’t bring up unhappy matters.”
As they watched Liao Kai leave, Liao Xuan wanted to lash out, but Zhang Zhaodi simply rolled her eyes at her, “Do you know how to speak properly?”
“If you can’t speak properly, then shut up.
No one talks like that.”
“Your unhappiness is your own issue, there’s no need to take it out on your niece.”
“She’s the treasure of your second brother and his wife now.” Zhang Zhaodi stood up, “Speaking of which, now that you’re married, you should start cooking your own als.”
Zhang Zhaodi laid out what she and her husband had discussed yesterday, of course, Liao Xuan was very unhappy, “Why should we cook our own als?”
“You’re married now, you can be independent.”
“It will also save you from complaining about the food at ho.” You contribute so little and yet complain about the food not being tasty.
“Cook for yourselves, buy whatever you want to eat.” Zhang Zhaodi was really tired lately, with Liao Jun being utterly useless, doing nothing but drinking every day.
Zhang Zhaodi had many dreams about her retirent, all of them nice and comfortable.
She never imagined her retirent would be so difficult, sothing she had never anticipated.
She always thought her sons and daughter were doing quite well, but her eldest had gotten divorced, her grandson was incarcerated, her youngest daughter got married, but still lived at ho with a man.
Out of her three children, it was only Liao Kai who led the best life, but even if he lived well, it had nothing to do with them.
Liao Xuan was very unhappy, “Mom, I’ve never seen anyone as biased as you.”
“If I were really biased, do you think you’d still be living at ho?” Zhang Zhaodi had heard too much of Liao Xuan accusing her of favoritism.
“Liao Xuan, if you bring up bias again, you’d better get out of here imdiately.”
“Since you think I’m biased, I’ll show you what bias really is.”
“And don’t talk about not looking after in the future.
I can rent out a room and still have rent to collect every month.”
“If you won’t take care of , I’ll just sell the house.
I can hire a nanny.”
Zhang Zhaodi shouted into the house, “Liao Jun, get out here!”
“At your age, not knowing how to make money, just thinking about taking care of you.”
“Every single one of you really has so nerve,” Zhang Zhaodi recalled the words Liao Kai had said in the car.
Although she was quite upset, feeling that it was a dig at her, she thought again and realized there was so truth in it.
Liao Jun was about to beco a grandfather; how could he keep relying on his elderly parents?
And as for Liao Xuan, let’s not even ntion her—an ungrateful heart, only rembering the ways her family wronged her, never considering what they had done for her.
Liao Jun was called out by Zhang Zhaodi, which greatly displeased him, as he had not been asleep long, “What are you yelling for?”
Looking at the disheveled and dismal figure of Liao Jun, Zhang Zhaodi said irritably, “All you know is drinking, drinking all the ti.”
“Starting tomorrow, you’ll make your own als, whether you have money for food or not, it’s your problem.”
“Also, the utilities bills in the house, you two will share those as well.
Your father and I won’t contribute anymore.” Zhang Zhaodi could be incredibly selfish once she started.
What?
Liao Jun exclaid in shock, “Why , I, I have no job.”
“No job?
Can’t you go out and find one?” Zhang Zhaodi looked at Liao Jun, feeling she couldn’t keep coddling him.
“Didn’t you say you want to start a business?
Then start with a breakfast stall,” Zhang Zhaodi took Liao Kai’s distracting words to heart.
If you have no money yet need to earn so, then start with a breakfast stall.
If you do well, you could actually make quite a bit of money.
What?
Him, running a breakfast stall?
Liao Jun, who considered himself a chef at a grand hotel, how could he stoop to that?
Very displeased, he said, “I am a chef, how can I stoop to the level of those who aren’t chefs at all, just to set up a stall?”
“If my forr colleagues were to see , I don’t even know how they would laugh at .” In short, Liao Jun made it clear that he would absolutely not do such a face-losing thing.
Looking at Liao Jun, who obviously had no money and no job and was still being picky, Zhang Zhaodi was also very angry.
“If you don’t want to work, then don’t, but it’s not who has no money, and it’s not my stomach that will be empty.”
She couldn’t give them any hope.
She had to make them strive to get better, to lift themselves up, at the very least, to be able to support themselves.
Zhang Zhaodi turned and went straight back to her room, “Starting now, rember that the two of you will split the utilities evenly.”
“Whoever doesn’t pay their share of the utilities, get out imdiately,” Zhang Zhaodi said viciously.
The Liao siblings watched Zhang Zhaodi’s retreating back.
Liao Jun looked at Liao Xuan displeased, “Did you say sothing to make Mom unhappy?”
Otherwise, the old lady would never act like this.
Liao Xuan truly felt wronged, “How would I know the old lady would go nuts all of a sudden?”
Although still unhappy, thinking of Liao Jun’s miserable state suddenly made Liao Xuan feel a lot better.
The only uncertainty was whether the old lady, despite her words, would actually soften her heart when it ca to action.
Anyway, she was determined to be treated just like Liao Jun.
Liao Xuan huffed and went back to her room.
Since they decided not to have a banquet, that money could be saved, but the only regret was that she had expected to receive many red envelopes, which would have been the most substantial inco for a small family after marriage; this ti, she hadn’t gotten much.
Liao Xuan’s mood was quite complex; while the expenses were saved, the inco dramatically reduced.
No matter how she crunched the numbers, it was a loss.
