## Chapter 75:  A Deliberate Recommendation

Wei Mingfang was still a little unhappy with Fang Shuting because of some previous misunderstandings, but she had helped her today, and thinking about what Du Jiaru said, it wasn’t without reason. If Lin Yangyang hadn’t done anything wrong, how could there be so many rumors outside?

Therefore, Wei Mingfang became polite to Fang Shuting.

After helping Wei Mingfang hang up all the clothes, she heard her say she was going to buy groceries, Du Jiaru volunteered to go with her.

Along the way, through Du Jiaru’s words, Fang Shuting learned that Du Jiaru had actually suggested to Wei Mingfang to change her daughter-in-law.

Her heart instantly blossomed!

After buying the groceries, Du Jiaru kept praising Fang Shuting in front of Wei Mingfang.

“Oh, this Shuting, not only has she blossomed at eighteen, she’s become more and more beautiful, and she has a very good character. Look, today you said your waist wasn’t good, she immediately helped you carry the things back and even helped you with the housework! When we were buying groceries, she knew what dishes Shiyuan likes to eat and what dishes you like to eat. Oh, if my son could marry such a good girl, he’d be so lucky in three lifetimes.”

Although Wei Mingfang had always lived in the countryside, she was also a shrewd person, Du Jiaru said this, and she had an idea in her mind.

“You like Shuting so much, why don’t you introduce her to your son? I remember your son is only twenty-two this year, he’s about the same age as Shuting.”

Du Jiaru waved her hand, “If I could, I would of course want Shuting to be my daughter-in-law, but unfortunately, my son already has a girlfriend. Besides, Shuting seems to have someone she likes.”

This made Wei Mingfang raise her eyebrows in surprise, “Shuting already has someone she likes? Who is it?”

“I only guessed it today when I went shopping with her, but I didn’t ask, and she didn’t admit it either.”

Seeing Du Jiaru being coy, Wei Mingfang frowned slightly, “So, who did you guess Shuting likes?”

“Who else could it be? It’s your son, isn’t it? If she didn’t like your son, why would she help you with housework? I heard her say that she seems to have some conflicts with your daughter-in-law, you see, even though she’s being targeted by your daughter-in-law, she still helps you with housework, and she knows your and Shiyuan’s preferences and tastes very well. If she doesn’t like your son, who else could she like?”

After listening, Wei Mingfang became quiet, her mind was unknown.

Glancing at her, Du Jiaru raised her eyebrows slightly and continued softly, “Sister-in-law, I really advise you to think carefully. Look at this Lin Yangyang, can she compare to Shuting? She’s just good-looking, what’s the use? She’s waited on hand and foot, you said it yourself, she doesn’t help you with housework much, and her attitude towards you isn’t good either. Not to mention, she hasn’t been back to her hometown for several years, it’s only an hour from the compound back to her hometown.”

It has to be said that Du Jiaru’s ability to sow discord was very good, Wei Mingfang listened to her words and was gradually assimilated, feeling that what she said made sense.

“Don’t say that Lin Yangyang’s face looks like a fox’s face, even when you’re old, do you think she’ll take care of you? I’m afraid, you won’t even be able to eat a hot meal then. And, the two children are so big, they still haven’t given birth to a third child for your family, Humph, I don’t know if she’s ruined her body outside, she won’t be able to give birth anymore.”

These words were like a missile to Wei Mingfang, because what Wei Mingfang hoped most was that Lin Yangyang would quickly get pregnant with a third child, but five years had passed, her belly was like stagnant water, there was no movement.

Suddenly, Du Jiaru leaned closer to Wei Mingfang, a smile on her lips, her voice was very low.

“Have you noticed that Shuting’s butt is quite big! This is good for giving birth! If Shuting was your daughter-in-law, I think you could have two children in three years!”

Wei Mingfang sighed and said, “But there’s no actual evidence to prove that Lin Yangyang betrayed Shiyuan, besides, she at least gave birth to a pair of twins for our Lu family, are you embarrassed to ask her to leave?”

Du Jiaru waved her hand nonchalantly, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? Evidence, you can find it if you look! You say she gave birth to two children for your family… after the divorce, just give the mute child to her! It’ll save your family from wasting money to raise a mute.”

Although Wei Mingfang also favored sons over daughters, she was still a little unhappy when she heard Du Jiaru say this about her granddaughter, “Even if she’s mute, she’s still our Lu family’s seed!”

Seeing that she wasn’t happy, Du Jiaru nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, yes, I said the wrong thing, okay. But Sister-in-law, I’m doing this for your family’s sake. I always feel that Shuting is more suitable to be your daughter-in-law than Lin Yangyang. Not only can she give birth to children, but she can also take good care of you and your son.”

Although Wei Mingfang didn’t say anything to agree, she felt that what Du Jiaru said made sense.

The reason why Fang Shuting kept targeting Lin Yangyang might be because of something wrong with Lin Yangyang.

Besides, putting everything aside, she really felt that Fang Shuting was more suitable to be her daughter-in-law than Lin Yangyang.

Seeing that she had started to hesitate, Du Jiaru didn’t say anything more, she just said, “Sister-in-law, think carefully about whether what I said makes sense. If you think I’m trying to sow discord, then just pretend I didn’t say anything. But if you think what I said makes sense… you have to think carefully.”

Saying that, Du Jiaru picked up the meat and cloth she had exchanged at the supply and marketing cooperative today.

“I’m going to visit my distant relative today, Sister-in-law, I won’t come back for dinner tonight, but I have to stay overnight.”

Looking at Du Jiaru’s departing figure, Wei Mingfang’s heart was a little confused.

What Wei Mingfang didn’t know was that after Du Jiaru left the Lu family, she quickly met Fang Shuting at a corner.

In fact, Fang Shuting had been listening to the two of them talking outside the wall, knowing that Du Jiaru hadn’t broken her promise, she quickly took out ten yuan and handed it to Du Jiaru.

“Oh, you’re so thoughtful, Shuting! Don’t worry, I’ll continue to reason with my sister-in-law when I come back tonight, so that she knows that having a good girl like you as her daughter-in-law is better than that Lin Yangyang.”

Fang Shuting nodded in satisfaction, “Sister-in-law, thank you.”

Holding the five yuan, Du Jiaru was very happy, she waved her hand and laughed, “What are you saying, I’m not doing this for you, I’m doing this for the Lu family. A woman like Lin Yangyang, how could she be qualified to be the battalion commander’s wife? It’s you, Shuting, after you get what you want, don’t forget your sister-in-law.”

Fang Shuting knew what she meant, she smiled and nodded, “Don’t worry, Sister-in-law, if it works out, I’ll remember your kindness forever.”
