The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Although Lin Xinyi heard the conversation between her parents clearly, she was confused as to what they meant. However, she did not ask rashly, but just stood quietly by, observing her parents' expressions and actions.

Xu Yingying turned her head, looked at Lin Weiye softly, and asked softly, "Do you want to go with us?" At the same time, Lin Xinyi also asked expectantly, "Dad, do you want to go to my kindergarten with us?" For a moment, both eyes fell on Lin Weiye.

Lin Weiye felt the gazes from his wife and daughter, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "After I go back tomorrow, I will see if I can make time that day. If possible, I will definitely go with you."

Hearing her father say this, a bright smile immediately bloomed on Lin Xinyi's little face. She jumped up excitedly and clapped her hands: "That's great! Then you must make time for me, Dad!" After that, she jumped into her father's arms like a happy little bird.

The family of three had a pleasant dinner, and the next day, Lin Weiye asked Cheng Cheng to check on the Christmas schedule. In order to make time for his daughter's kindergarten Christmas activities that day, Lin Weiye had to work overtime at the company for the next few days.

As a result, every night at dinner, only Xu Yingying and her lovely daughter Lin Xinyi were left at the table.

That day, mother and daughter had just begun their meal when the quiet of the house was suddenly shattered by the sharp, rapid ring of the phone. Xu Yingying quickly walked to the phone and picked up the receiver. A familiar voice rang out from the other end—it was Xu's mother, who had been stopped by the diligent security guard at the gate of the residential complex and was anxiously awaiting Xu Yingying's arrival to greet them.

Nearly two months had passed since Xu's mother and Xu Junjie had last visited the store looking for Xu Yingying. During that time, Xu Yingying hadn't seen her mother again, and she couldn't help but lapse into a moment of deep contemplation. After some thought, she decided to have her nanny go and greet Xu's mother and the others instead.

At this moment, the well-behaved and sensible Lin Xinyi looked up at her mother curiously and asked softly, "Mom, is it grandma calling?"

Xu Yingying smiled and nodded, gently answering: "That's right, baby, grandma and uncle are here together!"

Upon hearing the news, Lin Xinyi just nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and then sat quietly in the chair without saying anything more.

Xu's mother and Xu Junjie had just stepped into the room, their faces filled with friendly smiles. Xu's mother quickly took out a carefully prepared gift from her bag and walked quickly towards Xinyi.

Mother Xu called out with a loving face, "Xinyi, come and see what good things grandma has brought you this time!" Her voice was full of anticipation and joy.

Xinyi, standing nearby, heard the call and immediately stepped forward with brisk steps. She held out her hands, carefully accepted the gift from Xu's mother, and politely said, "Thank you, Grandma!" The clear and melodious child's voice seemed like a spring breeze blowing through people's hearts.

Mother Xu reached out her hand happily and gently rubbed Xinyi's soft hair, saying softly: "Dear child, why are you being so polite to grandma? Go and play!" After getting permission, Xinyi walked away.

After watching Xinyi's disappearing figure, Xu's mother slowly turned around and fixed her gaze on Xu Yingying. Without beating around the bush, she spoke directly, "Yingying, I was a little too excited the last time I went to your store. But no matter what, you can't let me lose face in front of outsiders, right?" Although Xu's mother's tone was somewhat blaming, it was more of a concern and expectation for her daughter.

Xu Yingying frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness showing on her face, and slowly asked: "What exactly are you guys doing here today?"

Xu Junjie came forward carelessly and blurted out without thinking: "Sister, my brother-in-law promised to arrange a job for me, but how come there is still no news about it today!" He spoke without any scruples, and whatever was in his mind came out of his mouth. To put it nicely, it is said that he is simple-minded and has no ulterior motives; but to put it bluntly, this person's emotional intelligence is really low.

Thinking back to the original owner's past life, this younger brother had indeed never done anything wicked, other than coming to him every now and then to ask for money. However, the problem was that, given his lazy nature, no matter what kind of job he was offered, he would usually quit after only a few days.

Xu Yingying sighed slightly and said in a distressed tone, "Little brother, it's not that I, as your sister, am unwilling to help you. The key is that you know nothing and can't do anything. What kind of job do you want your brother-in-law to recommend for you that would be suitable?" Then, with a roll of her eyes, she deliberately added fuel to the fire, "And last time because of that awful thing about Xu Lanlan, your brother-in-law got really angry! I took great pains to coax him into peace, and now you guys come here to mess around again. Aren't you deliberately causing trouble for me?"

Hearing this, Xu's mother couldn't help but frowned slightly, and hurriedly explained: "Xinyi's matter really has nothing to do with Lanlan. You have to explain it clearly to Weiye!"

However, Xu Yingying turned her head away, putting on an expression of stone-heartedness and unmovedness, and responded coldly: "Mom, it's not up to you to decide whether this matter is related or not. I really can't do anything about Junjie's work right now!" Seeing Xu Yingying's unyielding attitude, Xu's mother couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart.

She frowned slightly and spoke slowly but with a tone that left no room for doubt. "But, little brother, you're almost twenty-one. You can't just sit there doing nothing all day! Why don't you consider learning a craft or some other skill? After all, if you have a skill, your brother-in-law will be able to help you out later."
