The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Anning sat on the bed and went through the original body’s memories again, connecting the various events.

Then she laughed.

Well, wasn’t Li Wanping spreading rumors everywhere saying she was an evil mother-in-law? Even many years later, after the original body had died, she continued to slander the original body, even speaking ill of her in front of Xi Jingchen, making it seem like she was so pitiable and helpless.

Since she said all that, it would seem a bit unfair to her if Anning didn’t act like an evil mother-in-law.

To a woman like Li Wanping, who knows no sense of propriety, honesty, or shame, who has no moral baseline and is foolishly malicious, Anning definitely wouldn’t hold back.

Anning also thought about the timeline. Right now, it was still when Xi Jingchen was in his junior year of college in Suhai City, and Li Wanping was still using Xi Jingchen to help her come up with ideas to help Xiao Zhang seize power and gain benefits. Xiao Zhang hadn’t met Xi Jingchen’s girlfriend Xia Man yet, and Xi Jingchen hadn’t encountered Hu Yushan either. This timing gave Anning time to plan.

First of all, what Anning had to do was make money, and then go to Suhai City to find Xi Jingchen.

Of course, before finding Xi Jingchen, Anning also needed to clear the original body’s tarnished name.

As Anning pondered over these matters, she eventually decided to make money first.

Once she had decided on what to do with each issue, Anning went to sleep.

This body was in terrible condition. In the next few days, she needed to eat and sleep more to take care of her health, and then buy medicine to properly adjust her body.

While Anning was sleeping, those grannies were already sitting under the big tree at the village entrance, chatting with others about the unspeakable stories of Li Wanping.

The mouths of rural grannies, when they decide to tear someone apart, can be truly harsh, far beyond what ordinary people can handle.

Take Mrs. Yu, for example. She told the women who came to cool off, ”You all wouldn’t know, but Sister Tao was really deceived by that shameless Li Wanping. She was truly a homewrecker, yet to save her own reputation, she threw mud on Sister Tao. She’s really a shameless bitch. If she were my daughter-in-law, I would have slapped her ages ago. I’ve never seen anyone so brazen and shameless.”

”Isn’t that the case?”

The other grannies chimed in.

”Sister Tao is genuinely honest. For so many years, she’s never said a bad word about Li Wanping, even though she got so sick she was on the brink of death, only then did she reveal the past events. I really don’t know how the Li family raised such a girl. Being shameless is one thing, but with a cold heart too, damn it, who does she think she is? Yeah, she’s like one of those ’white lotus’ green tea types young people talk about nowadays.”

”The Xi family is just too honest. If it were another family, would she dare pull that off? And about Xi Zhenhua, I truly don’t understand what he was thinking. Did he never see a woman in his life before he picked such trash?”

”Isn’t that the truth? Xi Zhenhua’s job isn’t bad, and he’s quite good-looking. What kind of wife couldn’t he get, yet he just had to settle for that piece of garbage.”

So, by the afternoon, everyone in Jinggou Village knew about how Li Wanping had an illegitimate child before marriage, then framed the mother-in-law, and how she reunited with her old lover after Xi Zhenhua’s wife died, eagerly divorcing Xi Zhenhua to marry him.

Earlier, many young wives privately criticized Anning, and some even said she was too wicked for disrupting a well-settled family. But now that these events were known, no one criticized Anning anymore.

Primarily because the things Li Wanping did were genuinely unbearable to witness.

You might say in the past she made mistakes, got deceived in love, and had a child out of wedlock, but who hasn’t made one or two mistakes or met a jerk when they were young? As long as you change, it’s fine.

Since she was already married and Xi Zhenhua was good to her, she should live a good life. But as for Li Wanping, oh, after living with Xi Zhenhua for years, he couldn’t even warm her heart. Once the wife of Xiao died, she went back to him. To marry Xiao, she would harm her mother-in-law. Such a person is truly offensive and hard not to scold.

It’s thanks to the good reputation the original body had in Jinggou Village over the years.

In fact, whether it was the original body or Xi Zhenhua, both were decent people, seldom quarreling with others, enduring what they could. They always believed in kindness, and the villagers often spoke well of them.

In the past, they used to say the original body was bad to her daughter-in-law, driving her to leave. Some even defended the original body. Now that the reasons have come to light, naturally, the villagers sided with the original body.

And then, within just a few days, Li Wanping’s family also heard about these things.

These matters were inherently Li Wanping’s fault, and her family had been hiding them all these years. But now that it was exposed, her brother and sister-in-law felt humiliated and truly embarrassed.

There were busy-bodies in Jinggou Village, roughly around Xi Zhenhua’s age, and had his phone number, so they called him.

This person directly asked Xi Zhenhua, ”Zhenhua, was the son Wanping had back then surnamed Xiao?”

Xi Zhenhua was taken aback. He didn’t realize it and nodded affirmatively.

Then the person was so angry that they cursed, ”Are you stupid, willingly putting on a green hat? Everyone knows she had a child with someone else, she isn’t decent, and you dare marry her. You see, if it weren’t for you, Aunt Tao wouldn’t have suffered for so many years.”

They then told Xi Zhenhua in detail about how Li Wanping wanted a divorce without damaging her reputation back then, how she framed Anning, and how she made people misunderstand Anning.

Xi Zhenhua was shocked: ”This, this can’t be true, Wanping, she wouldn’t be like that.”

”Hell’s bells.” The person who called Xi Zhenhua was truly angry, unable to hold back the curses: ”This was said by Aunt Tao herself, that’s your own mother. Don’t you know what kind of person she is? Aunt Tao is honest and sincere, when has she ever lied? These years, to spare your feelings, she kept it quiet. Now that she’s ill, bedridden for days, and you won’t even come to see her, she’s thinking she might not have many days left, so she told a few close aunts. Xi Zhenhua, if you’re still a man and remember your mother, you should come back and see her...”

Xi Zhenhua was a bit clueless and infatuated with love, but he still had a bit of filial piety. Knowing Anning was ill, he immediately took leave and drove back overnight.

These past few days, Anning had been recuperating a lot. She had also gone to the county to get medicine, came back to brew it herself, and took medicinal baths, so her body was gradually recovering.

However, she still pretended to be very weak. After all, someone of her age doesn’t recover quickly when ill.

Additionally, she used these last few days to look for opportunities to make money.

And lo and behold, Anning really did find an opportunity.
