The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 627 - 615: My Daughter Is a Vicious Supporting Female Character 15

Anning quickly finished eating the cucumber, then followed Eldest down to the field.

"Eldest, we’ll definitely pick the vegetables, but you have to take the money. We’re going to stay here for three days, and we need to eat vegetables every day. For one or two meals, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. You call me ’little sister’, I call you ’Eldest’, we have a connection. A few vegetables don’t matter much to you, I want to eat them, and I won’t necessarily force you to take the money. But staying at your house for three days and picking vegetables, it’d be too much if I don’t pay you. Besides, I want to take some with me to give to others when I leave. So I have to give you money, right?"

Eldest laughed so hard at Anning’s words that he couldn’t close his mouth.

"You really have a way with words. Fine, I’ll take the money, wouldn’t I? Let’s not talk about how much, just give me a token amount. In the future, if you have time, come back and eat vegetables at my home."

"Alright, then I really won’t be polite to you."

Anning called Zou Jingjing over, "Jingjing, don’t just stand there, come help your Eldest water the vegetables."

Zou Jingjing hurried over and asked Eldest, "Master, how should I water the vegetables?"

Anning waved her hand dismissively, "There you go, young people are unreliable. You go pick the vegetables, I’ll water the field."

She took the shovel and saw a furrow filled with water, quickly blocked it up, then opened the outlet of another furrow.

Eldest watched Anning’s skilled movements and gave her a thumbs-up, "Little sister, I didn’t expect it – you’re beautiful and can really work hard. Looks like you’ve done your fair share of fieldwork."

Anning smiled, "Indeed, I’ve done it for many years. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known just by looking at your vegetables that you haven’t used any fertilizers or pesticides. You’ve put a lot of effort into them; they really are reassuring to eat."

Zou Jingjing was picking vegetables while listening to Anning and Eldest chatting, feeling full of admiration.

She had thought her mother was that kind of pampered lady, only indulging in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and flowers every day, yet she had no idea her mother would be so down-to-earth once in the countryside, getting along so well with a country Eldest.

While watering, Anning also directed Zou Jingjing, "Pick some tomatoes, they must be delicious. When we get back, I’ll mix them with sugar for you, I bet you could eat a whole plate."

Zou Jingjing helplessly began to pick tomatoes while Anning added, "Pick some green beans, they are so fresh. And eggplants, yes, oh look, there’s spring corn here too. Jingjing, pick some corn, I’ll cook them for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Zou Jingjing really wanted to roll her eyes.

"Mom, we didn’t bring any tools, where will we put all these vegetables if we pick too many?"

Eldest happily handed over a vegetable basket, "No problem, put them here."

Anning waved it off, "No need for that."

After blocking one furrow and opening another, she went to the end of the field, gathered some wild grass, and started to weave while keeping an eye on the irrigation.

Anning’s hands moved up and down gracefully and swiftly, almost too fast to see clearly.

In no time, she had woven a grass basket, "Here, put the vegetables in here, pick a little of each kind, don’t get too much. We’ll come pick fresh ones every day."

Zou Jingjing watched, dumbfounded.

Eldest was also quite impressed, "Little sister, your craft is not simple."

Anning chuckled, "Just some basic skills, nothing to mention."

After finishing watering, she took out the money and handed it to Eldest, "This is for you. Will there be someone here tomorrow? We’ll come pick vegetables again."

Eldest grinned, "There will be, there will be. I make rounds in the field every day."

Anning agreed on a time with Eldest and then took Zou Jingjing and a basket of vegetables back home.

On their way through the head of the village, they saw Sun Weida and his mother Zheng Ping getting out of a car; Anning and Zou Jingjing went over to greet them.

Zou Jingjing actually knew Sun Weida.

She had participated in a show before, and Sun Weida happened to be on that episode too, so they were somewhat acquainted.

She brought Anning over, shook hands with Sun Weida first, then introduced him, "This is my mom."

Sun Weida was taken aback for a moment, then he introduced his own mom to Zou Jingjing and Anning.

Zheng Ping was quite straightforward. When she saw Anning, she was stunned, and after introducing everyone she went straight over, "Oh my, you look so young. How do you maintain yourself? What’s your secret? Share some tips with us."

Anning smiled, "I lived a secluded life for over twenty years, lost my memory during that time, and never had any worries. That’s probably why I look younger."

A flicker of suspicion crossed Zheng Ping’s eyes, followed by a sympathetic look at Anning, "Forget it, I’m not envious of your youth anymore. I couldn’t handle twenty years without human contact, I’d rather age a bit."

Anning picked up a basket of vegetables, "We just bought some fresh vegetables. Would you like some? We can share them with you."

Zheng Ping didn’t stand on ceremony, taking two cucumbers and tomatoes, along with an eggplant: "I’ll just take these. Hey, you should visit our place sometime when you’re free."

"Okay."

As both parties met, at this time, it meant that the audience from both livestream rooms was watching.

When the viewers in Sun Weida’s livestream room saw Anning, they were all astonished and full of compliments.

Then, when they heard about Anning’s twenty years of memory loss and her isolated life, many of them felt deeply sorry for her.

Especially the fans who had just started following Anning.

The fans were voicing their sympathy one after another.

"Heavens, why has my immortal sister had such a hard life? Twenty years, not twenty days, how did she get through those years?"

"No wonder we’ve never heard about Jingjing’s mom before, I thought Jingjing’s real mom had passed away. It turns out she went through all of this."

"How pitiful, so heartbreaking. My heart aches for my immortal sister, aches for Jingjing."

"Since Zou Jingjing is Zou Xuexuan’s sister, it means the immortal sister is Zou Jingjing’s dad’s ex-wife. According to what the immortal sister said about those twenty-odd years, she just... Oh my, the more you think about it, the scarier it becomes."

"The post above is right. If she just lost her memory, Zou Jingjing’s dad definitely wouldn’t dare to remarry under such circumstances. It means she not only lost her memory but also disappeared, taken to some remote place. A woman with a husband disappearing just after giving birth, there must be a conspiracy at play."

"Judging by the age difference between Zou Xuexuan and Zou Jingjing, shortly after the immortal sister went missing, Zou Jingjing’s dad married his current wife. You can guess the kind of person this man is."

"If I had a wife who looked like an immortal and she went missing, I’d certainly turn All Hua Country upside down to find her, not remarry so quickly."

"Speaking of which, is the marriage between Zou Xuexuan’s dad and her mom legal?"

Then many law students chimed in, claiming that the marriage of Zou Xuexuan’s parents is, in fact, illegal.

The laws of this era’s Hua Country indeed differ from those of the parallel-universe Hua Country Anning experienced.

Here, besides the rule that divorce requires mutual consent for property division, there are also regulations regarding the disappearance of a spouse.

The law here states that if one spouse goes missing and cannot be found even after reporting to the authorities, the other can only remarry after waiting for two years.

This regulation applies to both husbands and wives.

Then, that law student explained this provision and did some calculations.

"According to the law, Zou Xuexuan’s dad and her mom couldn’t have obtained a marriage certificate at the time of her birth. They might have only held a wedding, but without a legal marriage certificate, the law doesn’t recognize their marital status. Which means, at the time of her birth, Zou Xuexuan was actually born out of wedlock."

When this statement came out, the entire livestream room erupted in commotion.
