The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 34 - 34: The Era of Face-Slapping Rebirth of a Woman

Lin Aiguo went to Lin Hongjun's home, and Lin Jiugen and his wife were resting.

Lin Aiguo called Lin Hongjun into the living room to talk.

He told Lin Hongjun every detail of the terrible things Lin Anjie had done: "Brother, I'm not heartless as a father, but Lin Anjie's actions are too atrocious. Anning's effort to get into college wasn't easy—she studied late into the night, then continued early in the morning. It pained me to watch. She finally managed to get into college, and Lin Anjie just ruined her like that. I... it's like choosing between my own flesh and blood, but I can't let Anning be heartbroken."

Lin Hongjun was furious after listening to Lin Aiguo.

He glared harshly at Lin Aiguo: "What else is there to say? It's better to sever ties with such a daughter early, so she doesn't turn and bite you later."

"I was thinking the same."

Lin Aiguo hung his head low, feeling shameful to have fathered such a daughter: "I can't keep her as my daughter anymore, might as well act as if she was never born. I won't rely on her in the future, I still have Anning and An Ping."

Lin Hongjun nodded: "It's good that you see things clearly."

Just as he finished speaking, they heard the Old Madam's voice.

It turned out that Wu Pan'ni was too hot while sleeping and got very thirsty; the thirst woke her. As she went out to get some water, she overheard Lin Aiguo and Lin Hongjun whispering.

Old Madam listened for a while, and those few words were enough for her to understand what was happening.

The Old Madam immediately started crying: "What sins have been committed in past lives? Lin Anjie, rotten to the core, how could she be so cruel to harm Ningning? My Ningning, why is her fate so harsh?"

Wu Pan'ni's crying gave Lin Hongjun and Lin Aiguo a headache.

Lin Jiugen was also awoken by Wu Pan'ni's cries.

He sat up a bit groggy and asked: "What happened, what happened?"

Wu Pan'ni impatiently said: "You can really sleep, someone is harming your dear granddaughter."

Lin Jiugen instantly woke up: "Who, who dares to harm my Ningning?"

Lin Aiguo had no choice but to recount the whole matter to Lin Jiugen and Wu Pan'ni.

After listening, Wu Pan'ni glared: "No more need to discuss. If Lin Anjie dares to step into our home again, I dare to drive her out with a broom."

"But what about Ningning?"

Lin Jiugen's biggest concern was that Anning couldn't continue her college studies.

As he asked this, Lin Aiguo and Lin Hongjun were also worried.

Finally, Lin Hongjun had an idea: "I'll go to the county education bureau and ask. Our Ningning performed so well, we can't let someone's malice delay her future. Besides, the comrades at the education bureau surely have contacts with those universities, maybe they can issue a new admission notice for Ningning."

Lin Jiugen quickly gestured: "Then hurry up, don't delay Ningning's matters."

Lin Aiguo also stood up: "I'll go with Big Brother."

The leaders from the education bureau had just visited the Lin Family a few days ago, and the brothers recognized some of the leaders. They decided to visit these leaders to ask about the situation.

At this moment, all the Lin Family could think of was how to prevent Anning from being affected.

Concerns like keeping family scandals private were no longer important to them.

Compared to Anning's future, reputation and such were trivial.

Furthermore, Lin Anjie had dared to do such a thing, yet expected the family to cover up and hide for her? How could that be possible?

Lin Aiguo and Lin Hongjun left, Lin Jiugen told Wu Pan'ni to stay at home, as he wanted to go out for a walk.

Wu Pan'ni thought Lin Jiugen was feeling suffocated and needed to distract himself, so she let him wander outside.

It was only in the evening when Lin Jiugen returned from outside, and at this time, Lin Aiguo and Lin Hongjun also came back home on their bicycles.

As soon as the three met, Lin Jiugen finally felt at ease after hearing about Lin Hongjun's trip to the county.

By the time Lin Aiguo got home, there was a smile on his face.

Wang Cuixhua was restless all afternoon. She didn't work in the fields and couldn't focus on chores at home, she even ran to the door to look around from time to time, and she didn't even feel like cooking dinner.

Seeing Lin Aiguo smiling as he entered the home, Wang Cuixhua sighed in relief.

She approached and asked, "What happened? Our Ningning's school..."

Lin Aiguo smiled as he entered the hall: "It's all sorted. Big brother and I went to the county education bureau and explained the situation. The leader called the post office to confirm that the admission notice was indeed lost. They contacted the university again, and the university authorities were very understanding. They didn't blame us for the lost notice, and they agreed to send a replacement. However, this time, Ningning must pick it up from the education bureau in person with a certificate issued from our village, no one else can collect it."

After Lin Aiguo finished, Wang Cuixhua laughed.

After laughing, Wang Cuixhua clasped her hands together: "Thank heavens, thank heavens. Finally, there's no delay in our Ningning's important matter."

She ran into the room to tell Anning the good news.

As Wang Cuixhua entered the room, Anning's eyes were still red, looking like she had cried again. Only after Wang Cuixhua told her not to worry, that the school still wanted her and would issue a new admission notice, did Anning start to smile.

When it was time for dinner, Lin Aiguo discussed another matter with Anning.

"Your grandpa was furious. He went to the Su family this afternoon and told Su Shuanzi and Su Zhiqiang that our family has completely cut ties with Lin Anjie. From now on, whether good or bad, they shouldn't involve us. Even if there are marriages or funerals in their family, they won't notify us."

Anning was stunned.

She hadn't expected Lin Jiugen to be so decisive.

"There's more."

Lin Aiguo continued: "Your grandpa mentioned that when Lin Anjie got married, her household registration wasn't transferred. He told me to go to the town tomorrow and move her registration out into a separate household book for her, and send it to the Su family, so we won't be involved with her matters anymore."

Wang Cuixhua's eyes flickered with a hint of reluctance, but after a moment, she bit her lip: "It's the right thing to do. Dad is right."

Lin Aiguo nodded, took a sip of water, and said: "From now on, we only have one son and one daughter. Let's focus on nurturing Ningning and An Ping. We can't count on Lin Anjie anymore."

Wang Cuixhua turned away to wipe her tears, and when she turned back, she had a smile on her face: "I understand completely."

Anning looked at Wang Cuixhua, then at Lin Aiguo, and thought of Lin Jiugen's decision. She very much understood why the original person would rather not seek revenge to ensure the family's wellbeing and make life better for her loved ones.

The family of the original body was indeed very kind; living in such a loving environment naturally filled her heart with love. Despite dealing with great hardships, she remained a person with principles and compassion.

The Lin family truly lived up to their words. The next day, Lin Aiguo indeed transferred Lin Anjie's household registration out and sent the household book to the Su family.

Afterward, no one in the Lin family mentioned Lin Anjie anymore, as if she had never been a part of the family.

Anning became busy.

She started teaching Lin Hongjun's brothers how to grow greenhouse vegetables.

Later on, Anning wrote down how to build a greenhouse and how to grow vegetables into a booklet and gave it to Lin Hongjun's two sons, An Tai and An He.

To expedite the learning process, Lin Hongjun specifically cleared a small patch of land to first build a small, plastic greenhouse.

Once the small plastic greenhouse was built, everyone became familiar with the process. As for farming, Lin Hongjun and his brothers had farmed for half their lives, so naturally, gardening was not a problem. As long as they took care of the key points, growing offseason vegetables shouldn't be an issue either.
