The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 811: Chapter 792: I’m Not a Slut 103

Anning later heard An Nan talk about the Wei Family’s situation.

Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei divorced.

This time, Mr. Wei really bled a lot in the divorce.

After Mrs. Wei’s incident with Keng Jiahui, Mr. Wei insisted on divorcing her, and later with her hitting Shen Feng, Mr. Wei couldn’t tolerate her anymore.

Mrs. Wei went back and threatened Mr. Wei over the phone, saying that if they divorced, she wouldn’t live.

Previously, whenever Mr. Wei mentioned divorce, Mrs. Wei would attempt suicide, even drinking rat poison once, but luckily the rat poison was fake, and she survived.

Mr. Wei was scared, so he didn’t divorce her.

But this time, Mr. Wei didn’t care about anything.

Even when Mrs. Wei cut her wrists with a knife, he firmly wanted a divorce.

Did Mrs. Wei really want to die?

Not necessarily.

She was just using this to threaten Mr. Wei, but this time neither Mr. Wei nor Jiaming cared, and Mrs. Wei had no choice but to ask Mr. Wei for money.

Mr. Wei gave her two houses and some money, and the two of them finally got divorced.

Actually, from Anning’s perspective, Mrs. Wei is really a foolish person.

After so many years with Mr. Wei, she didn’t even know how many houses the family had or how much money they had, just being stingy in living expenses without managing the big matters.

Mr. Wei has earned quite a lot over the years, but he’s clever. He first bought a house for Shen Feng, and later when the house was demolished, he put a lot of the properties under Jiaming and Jiahui’s names, and most of the family factory shares were also in Jiaming’s hands. Even if they divorced, Mrs. Wei wouldn’t get much.

Moreover, Mrs. Wei didn’t understand the family’s financial situation, thinking she had demanded a lot, but in reality, it was nothing that impacted Mr. Wei.

Later, Jiaming even talked to An Nan about it, saying he really couldn’t understand what Mrs. Wei was aiming for in her life.

If she wanted money, she didn’t manage the household finances, if she wanted a good life, she was still unwilling to spend on food and clothing.

She actually didn’t care much about her children, nor about whether Mr. Wei was good to her.

Jiaming really couldn’t figure out the meaning of Mrs. Wei’s life.

An Nan also thought Mrs. Wei was quite rare in her ways.

Meanwhile, she reminded herself to learn from this and not become such a person.

The Wei Family’s matter had come to a close, and soon it was time for Anning and Xiao Yuan’s wedding.

On April 26th, Anning and Xiao Yuan returned to their hometown together.

They went back first, while the other family members would follow on the 28th.

Anning and Xiao Yuan took an early flight, and upon arriving at the airport, Mr. Xiao would drive them home.

Upon reaching home, it wasn’t even noon yet, Mother Xiao had already prepared meals waiting for them.

The family had lunch, and then Mr. Xiao discussed the wedding banquet arrangements with Xiao Yuan.

Meanwhile, many villagers came to see the new bride.

When people came, Anning helped with the hospitality, greeting everyone gracefully.

The Xiao Family house was bustling all afternoon until evening, with people coming and going.

Anning kept a smile, chatting with the villagers without showing any impatience.

She also spoke softly to Mother Xiao, appearing very polite.

The old folks in the village remarked that the Xiao Family had found a good daughter-in-law who was gentle and courteous.

However, some women thought Anning’s appearance was too striking, her beauty too prominent.

But everyone saw Xiao Yuan’s thoughtful and attentive manner towards Anning, and seeing him smile with affection in his eyes, they had nothing more to say.

If someone is happy to marry such a bride, just let them be, others saying otherwise would only attract dislike.

As night fell, the villagers gradually left.

Mother Xiao then advised Xiao Yuan and Anning to rest early.

Anning originally thought the Xiao Family would prepare a room for her and Xiao Yuan, since they were already legally married, but unexpectedly Mother Xiao prepared two separate rooms for them.

Later, Anning asked Xiao Yufeng and realized it was the local custom, whether or not they had a marriage certificate, until the wedding banquet was held, they couldn’t stay together.

Anning chatted with the Xiao sisters in the room.

Meanwhile, Mother Xiao, Mr. Xiao, and Xiao Yuan were talking in the main room.

Mr. Xiao told Xiao Yuan, ”Tomorrow we’ll slaughter pigs, you need to get up early to help entertain the guests. Also, we need to slaughter many chickens and ducks, and catch fish from the reservoir; these are all things to do. We’ll have to host everyone for dinner in the evening. If it becomes chaotic at home, you can take your elder sister and daughter-in-law to stay in the county.”

Xiao Yuan also knew the local custom; the wedding banquet would be a banquet that lasted three days, making it particularly troublesome to hold at home.

He thought for a moment, ”I’ll ask Anning, if she finds staying here troublesome, I’ll take her to the county.”

Several houses belonging to Xiao Yufeng were all renovated and livable; if Anning wanted peace and quiet, she could stay there.

Mr. Xiao continued, ”The big matters have all been arranged. We’ve been discussing that the banquet should be a bit more elaborate. Generally speaking, families in our village have ten dishes at their wedding, but I was thinking we could do twelve.”

Mother Xiao hurriedly said, ”Not twelve, it doesn’t sound good. Why not sixteen? That’s more auspicious.”

”Then let’s make it sixteen dishes.”

Xiao Yuan decided, ”It wouldn’t cost much more, just for the sake of a lively celebration.”

Indeed, holding a wedding banquet in the village is all about having a lively occasion.

He pondered a bit more and said, ”Let’s set up a tent for the celebration tomorrow. The weather is unpredictable, in case it rains, there’ll be a cover. Even if it doesn’t, the noon sun could be intense, making it uncomfortable to eat outside.”

Mr. Xiao nodded, ”I also thought about setting up a tent.”

As they were talking, someone called from outside, ”Is Xiao Yuan home?”

Mother Xiao heard the voice and immediately frowned, ”An endless ghost, why is she here?”

Mother Xiao didn’t let Xiao Yuan get up, she went outside to the courtyard herself, ”Oh, it’s Qing, why did you come over at this late hour?”

In the courtyard, a young, delicate girl was looking towards the house, ”Auntie, is Xiao Yuan home?”

”He’s not home.”

Mother Xiao wouldn’t let her into the house, ”If you have something, just tell me directly.”

The girl bowed her head and sobbed twice, ”Auntie, is Xiao Yuan really home? I didn’t mean anything by it, just heard he’s getting married and wanted to offer congratulations.”

”That’s not necessary.”

Mother Xiao laughed coldly, ”Our daughter-in-law is here too. If you suddenly come over and say things that could be misunderstood, it might make my daughter-in-law uncomfortable. Besides, if you want to congratulate him, you can say it during the wedding. Then, you can come over and drink some wedding wine, and that’s all you need to do. Why come at night?”

The girl started crying again, ”I, I didn’t mean anything else, I was just afraid something might come up on the wedding day so came to say it early. Also, I... I have something Xiao Yuan gave me, I want to return it to him.”
