The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 954: Chapter 932: Top Student in the 1980s 60

After Zhang Qiang died, Zhang Fugui wasn’t particularly sad. Instead, he felt relieved, as if a burden had finally been lifted.

Now he had a young son, and he wasn’t concerned at all about the burdensome Zhang Qiang.

Li Guilan wasn’t particularly sad either.

The couple only thought about raising their young son well.

But not long after, someone came to Zhang Fugui’s house, claiming Zhang Fugui’s young son was his, and not Zhang Fugui’s child at all.

Because of this, that person even got into a fight with Zhang Fugui.

Anyway, this matter caused quite a stir.

It’s hard to say what Zhang Fugui thought in his heart, but he insisted verbally that the child was his, and definitely his.

After driving the person away, Zhang Fugui gave Li Guilan a beating that night, and the couple continued their lives as before.

Zhang Fugui no longer dared to claim the child wasn’t his.

With Zhang Qiang dead, this was his only son. He was counting on the child to take care of him in his old age, how could he possibly deny he was his son?

He also didn’t dare do anything drastic with Li Guilan, after all, he had been to prison, and if he really divorced Li Guilan, he’d never be able to find another wife.

Anyway, for various practical reasons, Zhang Fugui just made do and continued living with Li Guilan.

Meanwhile, He Daniu returned to County Y with He Ming and He Li, but also stirred up a number of incidents.

He Daniu got a job, but she barely brought any money home, using most of it to pay for He Ming’s and He Li’s education.

For a day or two it was fine, but over time, her husband and children grew resentful, and because of this, He Daniu’s husband argued with her countless times, and her children also held grudges against her. They also began to resent He Ming and He Li, and the two households lived in constant turmoil.

He Erniu told Anning about it, and Anning knew that He Daniu’s future wouldn’t be easy.

When He Daniu could no longer work and needed support in her old age, her husband and children likely wouldn’t help her.

And He Ming and He Li might also cast her aside.

The reason being, He Daniu has her own children, why should her siblings support her? The law never says siblings are obligated to support each other.

He Erniu also believed He Daniu wouldn’t meet a good end.

However, life is what people make of it, and the path is one they choose for themselves, so future outcomes can’t be blamed on others.

Life went on day by day, and Xiao Yuan got his Ph.D., while Anning joined a research institute.

When Anning was twenty, the two got married.

The wedding wasn’t a big affair; Anning and Xiao Yuan simply registered their marriage, and the two families gathered for a meal.

A few days after the marriage, Anning was again called to the research institute to partake in a new project.

And Xiao Yuan began working on a new book.

Anning’s days were busy, often not leaving the research institute for several days.

Xiao Yuan really did, as he said himself, manage the mundane household affairs.

Ordinarily, he would write and earn manuscript fees, or help others authenticate antiques, or else find rare bargains.

At any rate, he earned a good amount of money, yet lived quite leisurely.

When Anning had a child, Xiao Yuan stayed home to raise him.

The two of them raised their child, saw off the elderly, and gradually aged as well.

And Anning didn’t enter the research institute much anymore.

Over the years, Anning developed a lot of cutting-edge technology, greatly boosting Hua Country’s technological capabilities, which were all documented in archives. By the time Anning was old and no longer engaged much in research, Hua Country’s comprehensive strength had already become the world’s number one.

At that time, the national channel announced many people who had made outstanding contributions to the country.

Anning was among them, and the news announced her research contributions over the years, then people realized that many everyday items were researched by Anning.

From the 1980s electric vehicles, various foldable chairs, the universally owned protective covers later on, various medications, to the 1990s high-speed trains, smartphones, the new century’s anti-gravity vehicles, various flight instruments, and the recently researched spaceships, all were led by Anning’s research.

Those who saw the news began discussing Anning.

By that time, it was already the information age, with rapid information flow, so whatever people wanted to find was quickly discovered.

Before long, people discovered who Anning’s husband was.

Xiao Yuan had gained significant fame over the years, not only because many of his books had been reprinted numerous times, but also because of his good looks.

Even in old age, Xiao Yuan remained the handsomest old man, much loved by many book fans.
