The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

The few Old Madams who had a good relationship with Anning were all stunned upon hearing this.

In fact, an Old Madam surnamed Yu was the closest to Anning. They both came from the same village before getting married and later married into another village. Having been together for decades, their relationship was naturally better than with others.

She asked Anning, ”Are you silly? Why didn’t you say these things earlier? You kept silent for so many years, letting others scold you. If it were me with a daughter-in-law like Li Wanping, I would have exposed her scandals to the whole world. You’re just too honest, covering up for her. Isn’t it because she thinks you and your son are easy to bully, that she dares to do this?”

Anning was quite heartbroken and couldn’t help but start crying: ”I never thought of this before. I just couldn’t understand why she had to say bad things about me. Obviously, I was good to her. Besides, this is a family matter, and family scandals shouldn’t be made public, so I just...”

The Old Madams were furious, scolding Anning for quite a while.

It wasn’t until Anning expressed that she had learned her lesson that they finally left.

After sending off this group of gossip-loving Old Madams who liked to stir trouble when bored, Anning returned to the house and quickly looked for something to cook.

The original Anning was frugal, thinking it wasn’t easy for her single son to raise a child alone, so she saved money. But Anning was different.

Hmph, speaking of her original son’s character, Anning would say it’s better to have a barbecue fork than such a son. That son is a real scourge, harming his mother and his son. If it weren’t for him, the original Anning’s grandson, Xi Jingchen, wouldn’t have ended up like that.

Anning brought out all the good things she could find at home.

Honestly, there wasn’t much.

As for vegetables, they were grown in the yard, and the original Anning also raised chickens, so there was no need to buy eggs. There was some meat, but it wasn’t fresh meat, just salted meat.

But now Anning was hungry and couldn’t be bothered to go out to buy anything, so she made a meal with the limited ingredients.

After she ate and tidied up, she returned to the room, resting and contemplating how to save Xi Jingchen.

As for the original Anning’s barbecue fork son, Anning really didn’t want to mention him. The original Anning didn’t mention her son either. Her only wish was for her grandson to be well and marry the girl he truly liked, living a happy life.

Of course, Anning had to help fulfill this wish.

For people who weren’t within the original Anning’s wishes and lacked a clear mind, Anning couldn’t care less about their outcomes.

However, saving Xi Jingchen was easy; ensuring a lifetime of happiness for him was not.

To put it bluntly, the events in the original Anning’s family were a huge messy drama. Even Anning felt that TV dramas had never portrayed something like this.

Speaking of which, back in the day when the original Anning’s son Xi Zhenhua was in college, he fell for the campus belle Li Wanping. He pursued her relentlessly, but Li Wanping didn’t like him.

Li Wanping liked Xiao Zhe, Xi Zhenhua’s roommate. Li Wanping and Xiao Zhe were mutually affectionate, inseparable like glue, but Xi Zhenhua was deeply infatuated with Li Wanping. Even knowing she had a boyfriend, he wouldn’t give up, willing to be the standby choice.

After graduating, Xi Zhenhua found a good job in the Provincial City, settling down there.

The original Anning had taken out her savings from many years to help Xi Zhenhua buy a house in the Provincial City, thinking it would make it easier for him to marry a wife.

But what happened? Li Wanping thought Xiao Zhe would marry her after graduation, but Xiao Zhe changed his mind and married someone else.

Xiao Zhe married Su Yuezhu, the daughter of his father’s savior.

Li Wanping and Xiao Zhe had been together for a while, and she was pregnant. She wanted to confront Xiao Zhe, but he refused to see her, even sending a message asking her to abort the child.

Li Wanping was truly unwilling to accept this.

Firstly, she genuinely liked Xiao Zhe; secondly, she valued Xiao Zhe’s family background. But Xiao Zhe, for the sake of inheriting the family fortune, had to marry Su Yuezhu, which made Li Wanping both angry and jealous.

In a fit of anger, people often do impulsive things.

Li Wanping sought out Xi Zhenhua, who still had lingering affections for her, asking if he was willing to marry her.

Xi Zhenhua was the typical hopeless romantic. Even knowing Li Wanping was carrying someone else’s child and that she didn’t love him, he still agreed to marry her.

However, though he didn’t mind Li Wanping carrying a baby, he feared what others might say, and vicious gossip could inevitably harm Li Wanping.
