The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 1659: Chapter 1602: Group Favorite Text Counterpart 32

Anning estimated correctly. In a few days, there was a commotion at the Yang Family’s door.

Several hooligans from the town were cursing and banging on the Yang Family’s door with sticks.

Hearing the noise, Xiao Yuan quickly opened the door a crack to peek outside.

Anning and An Xian also came over: “What’s going on?”

Especially An Xian, her face was so eager to watch the drama that it made Anning laugh.

Xiao Yuan made space, and An Xian moved closer: “Someone’s causing trouble at the Yang Family’s door, serves them right.”

Anjing also came over, wearing a cotton coat, and Chen Qiang nervously chased after her: “Jing’er, be careful, don’t slip.”

Anjing not only came over but also brought half a bag of sunflower seeds and peanuts.

Anning grabbed a handful of peanuts and said to An Xian: “Open the door a bit wider.”

An Xian pulled the door open a bit more and then stretched her hand to grab a handful of sunflower seeds: “Laoer, the sunflower seeds you bought are tasty. Where did you get them? Next time, buy more.”

Chen Qiang stood protectively beside Anjing, but he couldn’t resist the curiosity and peered out too.

Pei Laoshi came over at this time.

Seeing so many people gathered at the Yang Family’s door, he pulled Xiao Yuan over: “Come, let’s go check it out.”

An Xian wanted to stop them but couldn’t.

She then asked Anning: “Why aren’t you stopping Dad and Xiao Yuan? Why are they joining the fun? What if they get accidentally hurt?”

Anning shook his head: “Can’t stop them. No matter what, the Yang Family are fellow villagers. They live right across from us. We can’t ignore such a big commotion, or people might say we have no heart.”

While they were talking, Pei Laoshi and Xiao Yuan had already gone over.

Besides the two of them, some locals were also gathering around.

Xiao Yuan handed out some packs of cigarettes while asking the hooligans: “Hey, what are you guys up to? Did someone offend you?”

He knew those hooligans from the town—not very familiar, but at least recognizable.

One hooligan who knew Xiao Yuan stopped and said: “It’s not us who were offended; someone else paid us to come and wreck havoc.”

Xiao Yuan frowned: “Come on, be honest. What’s going on?”

The hooligan spat: “Pft, this Yang Family is nothing. They fooled people by selling bad vegetables as good ones. The vegetable seller brought them to the Provincial City to sell, but because of their vegetables, a huge embarrassment occurred. They even offended a noble; losing money is a minor issue, but getting into legal trouble is big. You know, people hate them for this. Paying us to come and smash things up is already tolerant; otherwise, a real vengeful type would’ve come with knives.”

Pei Laoshi was stunned upon hearing this, and then asked: “That can’t be right, the vegetables are newly grown, shouldn’t be rotten.”

The hooligan laughed: “Everyone has vegetables these days, but people want high-quality ones. When the vegetable vendor came, they repeatedly asked if the Yang Family’s veggies were like… right, like the Pei Family’s. They swore up and down they were, so the vendor bought them. But in the end, they totally embarrassed the seller.”

After answering Pei Laoshi’s question, the hooligans started summoning their companions: “Hey, go buy some buckets of manure to dump at their door.”

“Don’t do that.”

Xiao Yuan quickly tried to stop them.

The hooligans glared: “Don’t stop us, or you’ll get hit too!”

Xiao Yuan chuckled: “I’m not trying to stop you guys; let me just say something from the heart.”

He said this while handing out some nice cigarettes: “I live right across the street, dumping manure at the door affects us too. You know, if it stinks, we won’t even be able to have our meals. You might as well dump it inside their house.”

“Yes, yes.” Pei Laoshi also hurried to say: “Do us a favor here.”

Anning, observing closely, quickly told Chen Qiang: “Brother-in-law, get some hot water.”

Chen Qiang rushed back inside to fetch a warm kettle, while An Xian grabbed a few bowls.

Chen Qiang walked over with a kettle in one hand and bowls in the other: “Guys, it’s cold out, let’s have some hot water first.”

Xiao Yuan pitched in to pour hot water and handed it out: “Give the brothers some face; you dump manure by my door, my house is full of women who are very particular. If you make it stink, my wife will have me scrubbing washboards as punishment.”

After this, combined with the hot water and cigarettes, the hooligans laughed.

“Alright, we’ll give you this face.”

The hooligans split off to buy some manure or whatever.

In no time, they carried back several buckets of manure.

Xiao Yuan pulled Pei Laoshi and the others aside to watch from a distance.

Bucket after bucket of manure was dumped into the Yang Family’s yard. Sharp screams and angry curses quickly came from the Yang Family.

After dumping the manure, the hooligans cursed at the door: “Listen up, Yang Family, your rotten veggies caused a lot of trouble for Boss Yang. We are venting his anger today. Tomorrow we’ll come again, and it won’t be just manure.”

After cursing, the hooligans laughed and left on their bikes.

Once they left, the villagers started discussing.

“Everyone said Yang Laoer was righteous, didn’t expect him to pull something like this.”

“Right, boasting without seeing what the Pei Family’s vegetables look like.”

“Can’t blame anyone else. He promised they were good veggies and sold them at such high prices. When people saw they weren’t the same thing, of course they were angry. If it were me, I’d do more than just cause a fuss.”

The Pei Family watched this drama, laughing as they headed to eat.

As for the Yang Family, with their yard covered in manure, they were too disgusted to eat.

The Pei Family laughed over dinner, still talking about the drama.

“Serves them right.” An Xian fiercely bit into her bun: “Let them follow us in growing vegetables and boast about how theirs are better, more expensive. Look what happened now, their show-off blew up!”

Anning smiled and handed Xiao Yuan a large meat bun: “Go on, eat and then relieve Brother-in-law.”

Liu Dalian grabbed a big rib from last night’s stew for Xiao Yuan: “Eat more. You’ve been working so hard, you darkened and slimmed down. Eat to replenish yourself.”

“Aunt, you eat too.”

Xiao Yuan cheerfully put a piece of meat on Liu Dalian’s plate: “We’re busy lately, no time to shop. Once this hectic time is over, Ningning and I will go to the City and buy some cosmetics and nice clothes for Aunt, Big Sister, and Second Sister. Make you all beautiful.”

“I’m old, why bother with cosmetics.”

Liu Dalian smiled brightly, increasingly fond of Xiao Yuan.

“Not old, not at all. I don’t see it.” Xiao Yuan drank some porridge, observing Liu Dalian: “If you stood with me, people would say you’re my sister for sure.”

After saying this, Xiao Yuan added: “I’m tired of eating meat these days. I’m craving something fresh; let’s have spinach salad at lunch. Fried peanuts mixed with spinach—the taste Big Sister makes is simply divine.”

“Sure, I’ll make it for lunch.”

With Xiao Yuan’s sweet words, An Xian was happy and agreed wholeheartedly to cook something nice for him.

Indeed, though An Xian is greedy, her greed has its advantages. With a refined taste bud, she’s meticulous in cooking, making clean and incredibly delicious dishes. The whole family loves her cooking, even Xiao Yuan couldn’t resist. When Xiao Yuan wants something tasty, he flatters Liu Dalian and An Xian with sweet words, ensuring a whole table of delicious dishes.

After eating and heading to the field, Xiao Yuan told Anning: “A few nice words secured a great chef, it’s worth it. When we buy a house, let’s live near Big Sister, so we can often crash her meals and skip cooking ourselves.”
