Chapter 111: Making Mischief (1)_1
After the discussion had ended and everyone had dispersed, she pulled Wu Le into her room with feigned affection. Du Qing had always had a good relationship with the eldest branch of the Ruan Family and she herself worked at the supply and marketing co-op, so she didn’t lack money. It wasn’t certain that she would take her side.
But Wu Le was different, although she had never made a fuss before. As the youngest daughter-in-law in the Ruan Family and mother to the youngest child, she was far less cherished by the family than the eldest branch. She didn’t believe that Wu Le bore no resentment in her heart.
She brought her into her room, first pretended to chat casually, then smoothly, as if unintentionally, steered the conversation towards the matter of building a house.
"Wu Le, I noticed that your house isn’t very sturdy anymore. Haven’t you thought about rebuilding it? Even if not a multi-story building, with your and Jianmin’s salaries, you should be able to afford a bungalow, right?"
Wu Le was well aware of her sister-in-law’s intentions to use her as a pawn.
She was much more intelligent than this woman. Just from the issues that Ruan Jiaojiao had faced recently, it was clear that the Ruanlin Family couldn’t do without her. To oppose the eldest branch was like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot—stupid!
Besides, given her understanding of the eldest branch, building a multi-story house would be an easy task for them. It wasn’t even certain that they had used the Ruanlin Family’s money, but even if they had, it wasn’t her place as a daughter-in-law to criticize.
It was better to act obediently; however biased Ruanlin was, she couldn’t possibly ignore her other sons altogether.
As opposed to Liao Zhaoji, who was always jumping around and making a fuss, ending up annoying others.
She glanced indifferently at Liao Zhaoji and said carelessly, "My two little boys are still young, there’s no rush to build a house. It’s not like Big Brother, Ruan Hao will go to university and will certainly need to have friends over. It’s not fitting to bring them back to such a house."
