The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 1675: Chapter 1616: The Contrasting Group in the Family Favorite Story 46

The Third Son of the Pei Family got accepted into university, causing quite a stir locally, almost as hot as trending topics nowadays.

The Chen Family in Shangxi Village heard about it too.

Wu Shuhua came over specially with a basket of eggs.

She was all smiles and immediately started flattering Liu Dalian as she entered, showing no signs of last year’s life-and-death feud.

"Dear in-law, what a great joy!"

Liu Dalian also beamed with delight: "You’ve come, my dear in-law, please sit inside. You didn’t need to bring anything."

Wu Shuhua entered the house: "I was thinking of Anjing, these are eggs from my own chickens, saved especially for her to eat and replenish."

Pei Anjing heard the noise and came out of the room, holding the child.

Wu Shuhua immediately reached out to hold the child: "Oh my sweet grandchild, let Grandma hold you."

Anjing handed the child to Wu Shuhua, smiling: "I just told Qiangzi to inform you at home, so during the banquet, you and my dad can come lend a hand."

Wu Shuhua nodded repeatedly: "Definitely will come, such a great occasion, we will surely be there, even without an invitation."

She also lowered her head to tease the child: "Our sweet baby is lucky, having a university student aunt at such a young age, she’ll surely benefit in the future."

Anjing grinned with satisfaction: "That’s right. If Third does well, he’ll definitely support our little one. Also, after I had the baby, my parents said they wanted to buy a house for her, one in the Provincial City, another in the Capital, so if she gets accepted into a university in the Capital, housing won’t be a worry."

Wu Shuhua, upon hearing this, blossomed with a smile: "Isn’t our baby blessed? I’m lucky too, having in-laws looking after you all saves me a lot of trouble."

Anjing and Chen Qiang are quite shrewd; they didn’t reveal how much money they had, only mentioned having a few tens of thousands. Regarding buying houses, they didn’t say it was their own money, but that the Pei Family was buying them. With this, Wu Shuhua would naturally cozy up to the Pei Family, even with Anjing living long-term with them, she wouldn’t utter a peep.

In Wu Shuhua’s view, Anjing residing with the Pei Family was only right.

The Pei Family now has a large business; both the Eldest and Fourth live at home. If Anjing doesn’t live there, Pei Laoshi and his wife will play favorites, giving most of the family property to the Eldest and Fourth, then wouldn’t Anjing and Chen Qiang lose out?

For this reason, Wu Shuhua even taught Chen Qiang to live with his father-in-law, work more, be sweeter, and keep the father-in-law happy for future benefits.

Moreover, Chen Qiang is now working with Anning at the factory, earning substantial wages yearly, leaving Wu Shuhua with nothing to fault.

Now, folks from miles around know that the Fourth Son of the Pei Family is capable; he and his partner went to Dream City, coining a huge fortune with a major boss, returning to run a factory and build roads, making the Pei Family’s days flourishing indeed.

As for saying the money belongs to Pei Laoshi?

No one really thought that.

To the people, what abilities could Pei Laoshi have? Raising four daughters was already exhausting enough; considering farming, he’s only farmed vegetables for a year, how much can one earn? The big money is all earned by Anning.

Wu Shuhua thinks the same, so she knows Chen Qiang works with Anning because he is Anning’s brother-in-law – they’re helping their own. Otherwise, there are plenty of capable people; not sure how many would vie for such high-paying jobs.

Thinking about the days at home starting to improve, with Chen Qiang and Anjing living at the Pei Family without spending home’s money, and occasionally bringing things back to see her, leaves Wu Shuhua very satisfied.

As they were chatting, the phone rang.

Liu Dalian hurried to answer, hearing An Yi’s voice: "Mom, I’ve arrived at the train station. I’ll take a cab home from here, should be home in just over an hour."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dalian immediately said: "Okay, okay, don’t rush, take your time, I’ll have your dad pick you up in town."

After hanging up, Liu Dalian grinned: "Dear in-law, don’t leave today, stay for dinner, let’s prepare a few dishes, let the kids taste our culinary skills."

Wu Shuhua also rose and said: "That’s great, come on, let us sisters cook."

Once Pei Anyi returned, the Pei Family became even livelier, all kinds of relatives came over to talk to her.

When Anyi left, she was still a village girl, dressed in floral short-sleeve cotton tops, gray-blue long pants, homemade corduroy shoes, hair braided; although pretty, didn’t stand out much in terms of demeanor.

But now Anyi has completely transformed.

When she walked in, everyone felt the room lit up.

Anyi wore a red silk blouse, its hem tucked into black wide-legged pants, displaying her slender waist. She wore sandals with small heels, stepping with a breeze, exuding an aura of approximately two meters and eighty.

Her hair was let down, not much makeup, but with vivid red lipstick, her presence emerged all at once.

Once inside, many dared not speak to her.

Even Pei Laoshi was taken aback by Anyi’s transformation.

Luckily, Anning smiled and pulled Anyi over: "Third Sis, let me show you your room, put your things down, and then we’ll talk."

"Yes, yes," Liu Dalian finally snapped out of it: "Hurry, put your things down and rest."

After Anning took Anyi upstairs, everyone said: "Surely she’s a university student, she just looks different."

Pei Laoshi smiled, almost foolishly happy: "No way, no matter what, she’s still a girl from Xiaxi Village, you all shouldn’t praise her too much...we watched her grow up, no matter how capable she gets..."

Anyi didn’t stay upstairs for long, after putting her things down, she came down to help greet guests.

Naturally sociable, Anyi had grown her experience over over a year in Dream City; plus, she often accompanied Huang Long to social events, dealing with savvy bosses, honing her keen observation and eloquence. Upon returning, her conversations with the villagers were naturally pleasing and pleasant.

When guests left, not one didn’t praise Anyi.

Anyway, by the next day, people in Xiaxi Village only spoke highly of Anyi, saying the girl hadn’t forgotten her roots, even after getting into university, still remembered fellow villagers, showing respect to both young and old.

After returning for only a few days, Anyi started going out to hustle, not disclosing what she was up to.

Later, Anning saw her both in town and in the county.

Following many busy days, Anyi finally settled down.

When Anning asked, she explained she was saying farewell to folks she used to be close with.

No one knows how Anyi managed it; despite breaking up with those young men, none spoke ill of her; all who mentioned her praised her kind nature, still remembering fondly.

This green-tea ability, Anning couldn’t help but admire.
