The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Just as Anning had anticipated, another day passed and Yang Junni woke up.

Afterwards, there were various examinations and treatments. Yang Junni’s condition improved day by day, and after about ten days, she was transferred to a general ward.

Zhang Xiangshan needed to attend intensive training and couldn’t take too much leave. After Yang Junni was transferred to the general ward, he returned to the Capital.

Anning and the others also returned to the Capital after Yang Junni’s recovery.

Yang Erchou, Li Cuixia, and the Old Madam stayed in the county to conveniently take care of Yang Junni.

After all, even when transferred to a general ward, she still needed care. Zhang Xiangxiang couldn’t stay for many days, and Zhang Jianfang alone couldn’t manage, so they needed someone to take turns.

Yang Junni survived a great disaster, and she truly became open-minded.

She didn’t dwell on what happened with Yang Lao Mao, and each day she ate and drank well, happy when someone came to visit her, appearing more philosophical.

After returning to the Capital, Zhang Xiangxiang told Anning that she felt Yang Junni seemed like a changed person.

Moreover, it’s in times of great calamity that you see a person’s true character. Yang Family used to think Zhang Jianfang was too honest, unable to handle things, but during Yang Junni’s serious illness, Zhang Jianfang truly held up. No matter what, he saw to her treatment. Later on, when she was in the general ward, it was Zhang Jianfang who cared for her, fed her water and food, helped her turn over, clean, and practice walking, with meticulous attention to detail.

These actions alone moved the Old Madam.

She called Anning and said, ”Your great uncle seemed honest and incapable before. If it weren’t for Xiangshan joining the sports team, your great uncle couldn’t even have earned the money for Xiangxiang’s university. But now, he seems truly decent. How many are there in this world who wouldn’t abandon their wife? When your great aunt first woke up, she couldn’t speak, couldn’t move, even soiled herself in bed, and your great uncle never resented her. Just for this reason, your great aunt and great uncle’s life together has been worthwhile.”

No matter what the Old Madam said, Anning believed that the feelings between the great aunt and great uncle would surely grow stronger.

After more than half a month, Yang Fugui was sentenced.

Meanwhile, at Silly Ni’s home, Silly Ni’s mother wanted to cure the child together with Silly Ni.

Yang Dachou and his wife were utterly anxious.

They pleaded with Silly Ni’s family, borrowed quite a bit of money and lent it to Silly Ni’s family, hoping that Silly Ni would keep the child. At least, it would give Yang Fugui a descendant.

Yang Fugui, already in his thirties, wouldn’t possibly marry again after ten or eight years in prison. What would he do in old age?

Yang Dachou and his wife just wanted a child, so that when Yang Fugui got old, he’d have someone to rely on.

Silly Ni’s family saw the money, and after consulting the hospital, found that Silly Ni’s body wasn’t suitable for abortion, so they agreed to let her give birth and have the child raised by Yang Dachou and his wife.

This matter made Yang Fuyu and his wife quite angry.

Yang Fuyu’s wife almost took their child back to her parents’ home, but Yang Fuyu persuaded her to stay. However, his wife didn’t speak to Yang Dachou and his wife for many years afterwards.

Anning heard about these matters gradually from Li Cuixia.

After another four or five months, Yang Junni was greatly healed.

She could speak, gradually started rehabilitation training, could walk and jump, and could even do some housework. With time, she would surely return to normal.

With her recovery, the Old Madam and a few others took a train back to the Capital.

Having lived in the Capital for a few years, they were accustomed to the environment and pace of life there, finding it hard to adjust to the countryside.

Seeing that everything at home was settled, Anning thought that there shouldn’t be any problems going forward, and perhaps they could have some peaceful years.

At this time, Xiao Bai called Xiao Yuan.

He told Xiao Yuan about Xiao Mei’s situation.

Xiao Xiu followed Mr. Geng. Originally, she wanted to marry him, but after Mr. Geng learned about the Xiao Family’s situation, he didn’t intend to marry Xiao Xiu anymore.

Two years later, Mr. Geng encountered a crisis in his business and needed some money for turnover.

At this time, Mrs. Geng appeared.

She offered to lend Mr. Geng the money, but Mr. Geng had to ditch Xiao Xiu.

Mr. Geng agreed and, upon returning, devised a plan to take the son away, eventually kicking Xiao Xiu out.

Xiao Xiu relied on her pregnancy to bully, expecting Mrs. Geng to serve her. However, Mrs. Geng wasn’t likely to forgive her generously, nor would she let her succeed in marrying in. Mrs. Geng had been waiting for this, and she used the money issue to ensure Xiao Xiu’s downfall.

Left without a patron or son, Xiao Xiu was truly at a loss.

Fortunately, she still had some money and a property Mr. Geng had bought her, enough to get by.

Could Mrs. Geng really let her off easily?

Definitely not.

Mrs. Geng persistently troubled Xiao Xiu, making life in Hai City unbearable for her.

Left with no choice, Xiao Xiu sold her property in Hai City and took the money to flee to the Capital.

In the Capital, having kept her looks, Xiao Xiu quickly latched onto a nouveau riche.

She didn’t mention being a mistress, instead claiming her family sold her into a bad marriage for money, her in-laws mistreated her, her husband was sickly, just a weakling, and she had a daughter whom her in-laws refused to allow her to raise, forcing her to leave her with her parents.

In any case, Xiao Xiu concocted many lies, deceiving the nouveau riche.

Because she was pretty and knew how to be sweet and gentle, it didn’t take long before the nouveau riche was smitten with her and insisted on marrying only her.

However, his family disapproved, feeling that Xiao Xiu was not simple, and, having been married and with a child, was unworthy of their family.

Unable to persuade his family, the nouveau riche never married Xiao Xiu, leaving her hanging.

After a few years, the nouveau riche’s family suffered investment failures and went bankrupt.

Not having married turned out to be advantageous for Xiao Xiu.

Over the years in the Capital, Xiao Xiu had quietly purchased two properties and managed to siphon quite a bit of money from the nouveau riche. Seeing the bankruptcy, she quickly vanished, and after some time, found yet another patron.

She returned to the village to take Xiao Mei to the Capital.

Planning for her later years without a marriage prospect, she decided to rely on her looks to continue as a mistress, amassing wealth, in hopes of raising her daughter well, and securing a good marriage for her daughter when the time came for her own security.

Xiao Xiu, with this in mind, retrieved Xiao Mei from Yangjiazhuang.

It goes without saying, the Xiao Family demanded money as a condition for her to leave.

Upon paying a sum, Xiao Xiu successfully took Xiao Mei and managed to transfer her household registration.

Xiao Bai remarked to Xiao Yuan, ”It’s better for Xiao Mei to be with our sixth sister than in the countryside. You have no idea, she’s so old, and our parents didn’t even let her attend school. If she stayed there, she’d be ruined.”

Indeed, Xiao Mei’s life was quite tough, and Xiao Yuan agreed with Xiao Bai’s point, ”It’s good that she’s been taken away. Don’t involve yourself in this matter anymore. Xiao Xiu might not have many other skills, but she’s certainly adept at getting a rich man. She’s living comfortably, so don’t worry about her.”

Xiao Bai acknowledged with a sound.

”I know well. She hasn’t returned or contacted me these years. Even if she had money, she never spent a dime on me, so why should I care about her? I am just thinking about the struggles of that child, pitying her.”

Xiao Bai continued a few words more, then chuckled, ”Second brother, I bought a house in the Provincial City, and it’s a school district house, so when I have kids, I won’t worry about school for them.”

Xiao Yuan laughed, ”Congratulations! When’s the move? I’ll get you something then.”

Shortly after Xiao Bai mentioned some family matters, Xiao Qin called to announce she was getting married.
