The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 452: Chapter 443: I Am the Vicious Eldest Aunt (30)

A basin full of water was placed in front of the embroidery, Anning bowed her head again, then called Xu Minruo over: ”Are you afraid?”

Xu Minruo also hated the person who had sprinkled blood in front of the Xu Family home: ”I’m not afraid, I just want to catch the person who did it.”

”Good.”

Anning smiled, grabbed Xu Minruo’s hand and pricked it with a needle, Xu Minruo’s middle finger was pierced, and a few drops of blood fell into the basin.

Anning also pricked her own finger, squeezing a few drops of blood into it.

As the blood entered the water basin, the water started to roil as if boiling.

”The Bodhisattva has shown a miracle, the Bodhisattva has shown a miracle.”

Old Madam also knelt down with a thud beside Anning.

Anning said to the clan elders and village chief: ”Perhaps the Bodhisattva has really shown a miracle, the elders should come over and take a good look.”

Many people squeezed over, surrounding the basin in layers.

Soon, an image appeared in the water.

The image was pitch dark, then a figure quietly slipped out of the house.

She walked to the foot of the mountain, holding a bottle, and poured a bit of its contents out, quickly attracting several pheasants and wild rabbits to crash into trees.

The figure picked up the pheasants and wild rabbits, cut their throats with a knife, and sprinkled the blood all along the path surrounding the Xu Family home.

After sprinkling the blood, she also threw the dead pheasants at the foot of the mountain.

”Who is this, this is too wicked?”

The villagers shouted incessantly.

When the figure turned its head, many people screamed in shock.

”It’s her, how could it be her?”

Xu Minruo clenched her fists, and upon seeing the person in the basin, angrily stood up and rushed through the crowd to grab Xu Erya and fiercely slapped her several times.

”I’ll kill you, how could you do such a thing? How could you...”

Xu Zhiyong was also furiously angry, he pointed at Xu Erya and said to Xu Minruo: ”Daya, hit her hard, hit her with all your strength.”

However, the scene in the basin had not yet disappeared.

The image then changed.

It transformed into Xu Erya sneakily taking something to sell for money, then using the money to hire some thugs from the town to break Xu Zhiyong’s legs.

Seeing all this, the village chief and clan elders were so angry that their faces turned bright red.

Framing her own grandparents, sister, and cousins was already intolerable.

Not to mention hiring someone to break her own father’s legs, such a vicious person absolutely couldn’t stay in the village.

Xiao Guan Village had been established for over a hundred years, but never had there been someone so malicious.

Several clan elders thought about how Xu Erya, at such a young age, could do something like breaking her own father’s legs, and they felt a chill down their spines, scared to the point their hairs stood on end.

The village chief looked over Xu Erya a few times, his face tight: ”Such a person has no place in our Xiao Guan Village.”

”Definitely doesn’t have a place.”

Every villager who saw the scene in the basin felt an overwhelming surge of anger towards Xu Erya.

Xu Erya could even harm her own relatives; not to mention others.

If anyone offended her, they might not even know how they died.

Xu Zhiyong was squatting on the ground, holding his head, crying woefully.

”Why is this happening? Why? What sins have I committed to have my own daughter not bear me...”

At this time, Anning had already helped Old Madam stand up.

She went over to block Xu Minruo: ”Min Ruo, stop hitting her.”

Xu Minruo thought about how scared and helpless she felt when Xu Zhiyong broke his leg, and she couldn’t help but want to cry.

At that time, she cursed the gangsters who broke Xu Zhiyong’s legs countless times in front of Xu Er Ya, and Xu Er Ya even joined her in cursing. She seemed extremely sorrowful, and no one noticed anything unusual.

What happened then?

It turned out she was the one behind it.

Xu Minruo, holding Anning, cried, ”Aunt, I can’t stand it, I just can’t!”

Anning stroked Xu Minruo’s back, ”Good child, let’s not be angry. There’s no point in arguing with such people. Hitting her would only dirty our hands.”

Xu Er Ya stood in the courtyard with a handprint on her face and signs of being hit by Xu Minruo and Mrs. Feng on her body. She stood there with pursed lips, not saying a word.

Flames blazed in her eyes, as if wanting to burn everything.

The old master looked at Xu Er Ya like this and felt his heart sink to the bottom.

He gritted his teeth and told the clan elders, ”Disown her. Disown Xu Er Ya. From now on, the Xu family will no longer acknowledge her.”

The clan elders nodded: ”She should be disowned.”

The village chief said, ”Kick her out, drive her out of the village.”

Xu Er Ya glanced at Xu Zhiyong, then at Mrs. Feng, and sneered, ”Who would want to stay here? You are utterly foolish. I don’t want to live with you anymore. Leaving might be good for me.”

She turned and ran out of the courtyard.

Mrs. Feng hurried after her: ”You brat, don’t you dare take anything from our house.”

Xu Zhiyong was almost driven insane.

He looked at the old master, crying, and asked: ”Dad, what did I do wrong? Why does she hate me so much? My own daughter from childhood to adulthood wishing I was dead.”

The old master sighed deeply, seeming to have aged a lot.

At that moment, Anning put away the embroidery and took away the water basin. She asked Liu Bao’s family to bring out chairs for the clan elders and the village chief to sit, and had Liu Laifu go out to buy meat.

She walked up to the old master and whispered, ”Dad, I’m sorry for troubling everyone with our family’s matters. I’ve sent Liu Laifu to buy meat. Please, have the clan elders and the village chief over for a meal at our place.”

The old master nodded.

Anning and Old Madam then thanked the villagers who had come running over, chatted for a bit before asking everyone to leave.

After closing the door, the old master invited the clan elders and the village chief for a meal.

The village chief initially did not want to stay for the meal, but Anning smiled and said, ”You have handled several affairs for our family and haven’t even had a meal with us. We feel bad about it. Previously, our family was struggling, and even wanting to offer a meal, we really didn’t have much to offer, but now that our situation has eased a bit, you must give us this chance to thank you. Otherwise, my father and mother probably won’t be able to sleep.”

Anning put it so nicely that the village chief smiled: ”Alright then, I’ll have lunch at your house today.”

Xu Minruo and Liu Chunmei tidied up the kitchen, boiled water, and brought tea over.

Anning went with Liu Bao’s family to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Before the meal was ready, they heard a commotion outside.

Anning asked Xu Minruo to go and check. After a while, Xu Minruo brought someone in through the door.

When Anning came out of the kitchen, it turned out to be Zhou Xun.

”Who is this?”

The old master squinted and looked at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun stepped forward, eyes red, about to kneel down to the old master.

The old master quickly stopped him, ”Young master, what is this?”

Zhou Xun, crying, said: ”Uncle, I am Zhou Xun, I’ve arrived too late.”

Old Madam also froze and then started crying after a long pause.

”It’s good that you’re here, no need to cry anymore.”

Anning quickly went over to console, both Old Madam and Zhou Xun.

The village chief also joined in consoling. After Zhou Xun stopped his tears, he said, ”Uncle, I have now become a scholar. From now on, I will take good care of you. From now on, uncle and aunt will be like my parents, sister-in-law will be like my own sister-in-law, and I will treat the children in the family as my own sons and daughters.”
