The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 952: Chapter 930: Top Student in the 1980s 58

When Sister Xu learned that Xiao Yuan’s partner was Anning, she was so excited she didn’t know what to do.

She tightly grasped the receiver, repeatedly saying, ”Good, good, truly good... I must quickly inform your father.”

Sister Xu threw down the phone and went to call Xiao Hei.

It wasn’t long before she dragged Xiao Hei over and let him talk to Xiangling.

Xiao Hei, upon knowing that Xiao Yuan had taken a liking to Anning, was thrilled, and his normally dark face blushed: ”This is good, this is a great affair. We have watched Anning grow up since she was little, and she’s a good kid. She’s capable. If the Xiao Family can marry such a wife, it really is the blessing of our ancestors.”

After a while, Xiao Hei quietly asked Xiangling, ”Ling, do your parents know about this?”

Xiangling smiled, ”They know, my parents don’t object now either. My mom said that with Anning and Yuanzi’s cleverness, who else could match? Where can we find two equally gifted kids to pair them? It’s inevitable only the two of them should be together.”

What was said.

Sister Xu just laughed, ”Isn’t it just that? Your mom is right, it’s really like that. Aiya, if Yuanzi marries Anning, their children in the future will be so smart, they would be so good-looking, even celestial children couldn’t compare.”

Xiao Hei thought that Xiao Yuan would finally achieve something in his generation. Once Xiao Yuan married such a good wife as Anning, the next generation would be assured. When the day comes that he closes his eyes and meets his ancestors, there would be much to say—all generations thanks to him.

Xiangling and Sister Xu exchanged a few more words, then advised Sister Xu not to spread the news yet; the family should be aware.

Sister Xu understood what this meant.

After all, Anning was still young; it’d be a couple of years before this matter could be truly settled.

Still, keeping such good news in and not being able to share is not easy to bear.

Anning stayed home for a few days, and then He Erniu came looking for her.

He Erniu was there to borrow money.

She had her eye on a set of houses, gathered all the movable money she had, but it wasn’t quite enough. For some time, He Erniu has been taking various jobs, daily going out to act as a translator for foreign tourists, yet still hasn’t gotten enough together. So she thought to borrow some from Anning first, then repay her when she makes more money.

Anning didn’t say much, just directly took out the money for He Erniu, and even said to her: ”Don’t hurry to repay, buy the house and you’ll need renovation. Wait until Grandpa Hu and others are settled, then repay me.”

He Erniu agreed with a smile, but Anning knew that He Erniu would surely try to earn money to repay sooner.

Anning rested enough and returned to school.

She thought life would continue peacefully and happily, but unexpectedly, a few days back at school, trouble came knocking.

This day after school, Anning had agreed to a movie with Xiao Yuan and dinner outside.

Xiao Yuan rode the bike with Anning from school, and just at the entrance, a raggedly dressed middle-aged woman stopped them.

The middle-aged woman looked bitter, so thin that a gust of wind could blow her over.

She was a bit scared but still blocked Xiao Yuan and Anning: ”Fel-fellow students, I’m here to ask, do you know Anning?”

Anning was stunned.

After sizing her up for a while, she recognized the woman as Da Niu.

”Why do you ask about Anning?”

Xiao Yuan frowned, having no goodwill for the woman.

Da Niu said, ”She is my sister, I have something to ask her.”

”We don’t know her.” Xiao Yuan left those words and took Anning around Da Niu and walked off.

Anning tugged at Xiao Yuan to stop him, she jumped off the back seat and asked Da Niu, ”What do you need Anning for?”

”I-I have something.” Da Niu twisted her hem: ”If you know her, can you take me in to find her?”

Anning sized up Da Niu: ”I’m Anning, tell me, what’s the matter?”

Da Niu became particularly excited, tears shimmering in her eyes, she tried to pull Anning’s hand, Anning quickly dodged.

Da Niu finally said awkwardly, ”I’m here to tell you, mother died, father killed her, father went in again, Mingming and Lili have no one to care for them. I can’t support them, I’ve come to find you, hoping you’d think of a way. Also, do you know where Erniu is? Help me find Erniu.”

Haha.

Anning really wanted to spit in Da Niu’s face.

How bold she is, just coming over asking her to care for two kids.

Why should she care?

The He Family has never raised Anning a day, given her nothing good, and now suddenly throws two half-grown kids for her, thinking so sweetly, more beautiful than dreaming.

”I don’t know where He Erniu is, and I haven’t seen her. Besides, I’m still a minor, I have to ask others for what I eat and use, and you ask me to raise two kids, are you crazy or am I? You have no ground in this.”

Even Da Niu knew it wasn’t right to seek Anning for this.

But she was really out of options.

She was incapable, really couldn’t support her younger siblings.

She knew Anning was adopted by a wealthy family, later became the top scorer, went to study in the Capital, and is well off.

Da Niu didn’t care whether Anning was of age or not, she only knew Anning was a university student and a student of Jing University, she must have a way to settle He Ming and He Li, so she single-mindedly sought Anning.

She had planned on the way here, Anning must care. If Anning didn’t, she would kneel before Anning, kneel before Jing University Entrance, if worse comes, she’d cause a scene, demand Anning raise her siblings.

”You must care about this.”

Da Niu blocked Anning from leaving: ”If it weren’t for you reporting father and mother, father wouldn’t have gone to prison, mother wouldn’t have remarried, if mom hadn’t remarried, father wouldn’t have killed mom, Mingming and Lili would still have both parents. We ended up like this, it’s your fault, how can you not care? Besides, Mingming and Lili are your own brother and sister, no matter what, you must care, I’m poor, stupid, can’t raise them—but you’re a university student, you surely have a way.”

What kind of logic is this?

Anning now had only one thought—those who are pitied must have something hateful.

No wonder He Erniu never contacted Da Niu all these years, He Erniu probably saw through Da Niu’s nature long ago.

Anning thought no matter what, the He Family’s affairs wouldn’t fall upon her.

But Da Niu proved different, bringing her siblings straight to her, and indeed...

Anning faced her with anger: ”Again, wherever you argue, this isn’t my concern, if you have any plans, you better drop them.”

Finished, she pulled Xiao Yuan and left, Da Niu tried to stop them but Xiao Yuan motioned her aside.

When Da Niu got up, Xiao Yuan and Anning were far away.

Da Niu cried softly, ”I know you study here, know what you look like, I’ll... I’ll wait here, I don’t believe you wouldn’t care.”

Anning didn’t join Xiao Yuan for the movie.

She took Xiao Yuan home.

She called Uncle Yu after getting home.

”Uncle Yu, I need your help with something.”

Yu Shen laughed, ”Is there something you can’t handle.”

”What are you saying, you know my skill, what could I ever manage? I’m just a little girl, without you folks supporting me, what do I have?”

This comment amused Yu Shen to louder laughter: ”Alright, stop joking, what’s the matter, hurry and say.”

Anning said, ”It’s like this, I was sold by my biological parents after birth, then... my big sister came with siblings seeking me, insisting I raise those two kids. Tell me, can I manage this? They are not pets, they are two living people, I can’t support them. I’m still a kid myself, what can I use to raise them.”

Yu Shen grew sullen hearing this: ”This is simply outrageous, alright, I understand, I’ll handle it right away.”
