The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 1159: Chapter 1133: After Being Possessed 43

When summer arrived, Si Linna’s house was finally renovated, and after airing it out for a while, it would be ready for occupancy.

At this time, many people noticed that the summer temperature this year was unusually different.

It seemed that the temperature difference between morning and evening was particularly large, and the midday heat was much more intense than in previous years.

However, the surrounding villages of Fengtai Village, with their abundant mountains and forests, and due to the work Anning and Xiao Yuan did using Spiritual Energy, were noticeably cooler than outside, becoming a great place for escaping the heat.

Suddenly, there were even more tourists coming to this area.

Some young people who were studying or working outside from the surrounding villages also chose to return home because they couldn’t stand the high temperatures.

The Liu family couple originally planned to return to Beijing after Liu Feifei’s situation stabilized over three months, but the unusual weather kept them from leaving.

Yan Rong and Yan Meng also returned.

Moreover, Qu Lan finally decided to bring the whole family to live in Fengtai Village.

The house Anning had built for them was left unused for years until its owners finally moved in.

Anning and Xiao Yuan were getting up early and coming back late these days, always heading to the deep mountains to look for things that might help set up an array.

But after many days of searching, the two of them still found nothing.

On this day, Anning and Xiao Yuan took another walk in the deep mountains without any discoveries.

Anning found a spot to sit down: ”Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be like this; the Spiritual Energy around Fengtai Village is noticeably more abundant than outside. There should be some unusual Spiritual Objects here, why can’t we find any?”

Xiao Yuan sat down as well.

”Is what we’re doing right or wrong in the end?”

Anning sighed: ”Turning this place into a Taoyuan, to give them peace and stability, may not be a good thing.”

”Survival of the fittest is a natural law after all. If we shield them from ugliness, perhaps that’s the real irresponsibility.”

Xiao Yuan held Anning in his arms: ”Stop looking for Spiritual Objects, just go with the flow.”

”I understand all these reasons, but I don’t want my family and friends to be the ones eliminated.”

Having gone through countless worlds, Anning should have learned to be rational and indifferent long ago, like many Task Takers whose hearts have turned cold and who look down on humanity with an air of superiority.

But Anning is not like that.

The ugliness and humiliation she has experienced are unimaginable to anyone.

Yet, she still maintains an optimistic and progressive attitude, treating people sincerely in every world, genuinely immersing herself into the world.

Even after experiencing so much, Anning’s heart still burns with passion.

Xiao Yuan smiled, thinking that if not for Anning, he would have changed long ago.

Either he would have become uninterested in everything, cold like a machine, or he would have turned entirely dark, recklessly slaughtering irresponsibly in every world.

But because he has Anning, he has acquired enthusiasm for life, and he starts looking forward to each of these worlds, hoping to walk hand in hand with Anning in every one of them.

”Do your best, and let fate do the rest.”

Xiao Yuan stood up with a smile, reached out to pull Anning up: ”Let’s go, search some more. If we still can’t find it, then so be it.”

The two of them searched again, but still found nothing, so they headed back.

Upon reaching home, they saw Shao Wen grinning like a fool.

”What happened?”

Anning was somewhat surprised: ”Brother-in-law, did something good happen?”

Shao Wen went up to grab Xiao Yuan: ”It’s good news, it’s really good news! You both are about to become seniors soon, Lina is pregnant.”

”Really?”

Anning was full of surprise: ”I’ll go see my sister.”

Xiao Yuan laughed and congratulated Shao Wen.

Anning went inside and saw Si Linna lying on the bed: ”Sister, how are you?”

Si Linna quickly sat up: ”I’m fine; it’s just your brother-in-law fussing over nothing, insisting I lie down. I have so much to do, where do I have time to rest?”

”There’s always more work to do.”

Anning quickly persuaded: ”With so many people in our company, it won’t collapse without you. Take this chance to have a good rest.”

As she said this, she called Li Hai: ”Young Master Li, where are you sneaking around with a beauty now?”

Li Hai was bragging and chatting in some club when he got Anning’s call and quickly came out: ”I wouldn’t dare sneak around with a beauty. I’m just unlucky; I only liked you and Feifei, and well... you know the situation with you two... hey, I decided it’s best to be straightforward. What’s up? Missing your brother?”

”If my partner heard this, he’d definitely come over and beat you up.”

Anning laughed and said: ”I need to ask you something. My sister’s pregnant, and she needs a good rest. It seems we’ll have to pull you, our shareholder, to come and do some hard work. Hurry and stop loafing around, come over and work.”

”Wow!”

Li Hai was startled: ”Sister Shi is pregnant, that’s not easy, it’s such a joyous event, I need to give her a big red envelope later. Also, I need to buy some baby supplies.”

”It’s good if you come. Help establish the management, don’t just think about dividends without doing any work.”

Anning put on a stern face: ”Hurry up, I need you here by tomorrow, otherwise I’ll go to Hai City and drag you here.”

”Alright, alright, I’ll definitely arrive by tonight.”

Li Hai knew he had been somewhat excessive.

Over the years, Si Linna had been managing the company’s affairs, with Anning’s help, while he, the major shareholder, shirked all responsibilities, yet took so much in dividends annually. It was precisely due to the support from Yinong Company these years that his father stopped controlling him, giving him more freedom. Yinong Company raked in massive profits every year, and Li Hai was at a loss about how much his assets amounted to.

Don’t underestimate this small company in the countryside dealing with agricultural products.

Yinong might not be large in scale, but its products are very expensive.

Si Linna had established the tourism sector over the years, with everyday tourist volumes generating substantial income, although products earned the most.

First are the premium flowers and Erdaowan’s bonsais.

Every elegantly crafted little bonsai looked amazing, with the price to match. The premium flowers were even fetch a sky-high price.

A premium orchid cultivated by Anning herself previously sold for nearly ten million.

Besides flowers, Fengtai Village also raised Feng Shui fish, which won the championship at a fighting fish competition a few years ago, leading to an overwhelming demand for the Feng Shui fish.

Then there’s Fengtai Village’s tea, which, after being branded, naturally had a high price.

Even the vegetables here were much more expensive than usual, especially the spicy sauce Anning made with a secret recipe, which was sold at high prices abroad, also commanding higher prices domestically compared to other sauces, but both domestic and foreign consumers loved it.

With all these factors combined, Li Hai didn’t even bother calculating how much money could be earned each year.

After not checking his bank account balance for a long time, Li Hai felt guilty for earning so much yet doing no work. Now that Si Linna needed rest, and Anning wouldn’t be able to handle it all alone, he felt the least he could do was help for a few months, hence, Li Hai was very agreeable.
