Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

But such a large amount of money is already jaw-dropping. It can be considered a huge sum of money!

Everyone couldn't help but feel suspicious, and it made people more certain that Village Chief Zhao was corrupt.

The village chief’s son and daughter have never sent any money back, so how come their family has so much savings?

Zhao Guiquan’s salary can’t be that high.

Although Secretary Zhao embezzled the resettlement fee for educated youth, he still bought houses for his children in the city!

As for Zhao Guixiang, she only worked a few days a year during the busy farming season, doing easy work with low work points, but she actually managed to save more than 500 yuan.

Not to mention the betrothal gift given by the husband's family, other male educated youth who got married in the countryside, if their families were better off, would just give a little as a token of their appreciation.

He Junwei usually looks like a decent person, but he only gave 20 yuan for his marriage. His parents didn't even write a letter. The house he lives in was built with money from the village chief's family.

In the end, Wang Lanhua and Zhao Guixiang were both taken away.

Only a group of stunned people and Zhao Guixiang's one-year-old son were left.

These people didn't smash anything and didn't take anything away except money.

After everyone left, many people wanted to go into the house and take advantage of the situation.

The team leader and Accountant Li walked out of the crowd, stopped these people, and locked all the doors of the Zhao family.

We don’t know what the outcome will be now. If we take away all their food, how will their families survive?

After locking all the doors of the Zhao family's house, the team leader asked Accountant Li in surprise, "Do the educated youth from the Imperial Capital and the Magic City really receive 400 yuan each for resettlement?"

Accountant Li had a similar expression and said unhappily, "How should I know? It's always Zhao who collects the money, and I'm responsible for registering what he brings back. He used to always get 125, but last year they said some were distributed to educated youth, so there's only 90 left."

Although Accountant Li is an accountant, he is only responsible for the village accounts. Village Chief Zhao is responsible for reporting to the commune.

As for how the village chief reported it, I don’t know.

Li Hehua interjected, "Earlier, Jiang Zhiqing said she had two hundred yuan in subsidies from the Zhiqing Office. You didn't believe it, but now you can ask and find out."

The captain called Lin Shaoyang over and asked, "You used to have 400 resettlement allowances."

Lin Shaoyang spoke frankly, "It used to be 400, and the Ministry of Finance sent it directly to the local government, including our first year's rations, money for farm tools, and accommodation. Last year, it seemed that only 200 was paid, mainly for farm tools and accommodation. 200 was directly given to the educated youth. I know that the cities that received 400 are the Imperial Capital, Jiudu, Modu, Pingdu, Jindu, and Sucheng. As for the provincial capital and other places, it seems to be 125. Now, 35 goes to the educated youth, and only 90 goes to the local treasury."

Accountant Li said, "They're reporting the resettlement fees from the big city to the village based on the standards of a small place."

Accountant Li and the team leader finally understood why Village Chief Zhao liked to bring back so many educated youth.

If you can bring one back, you can earn so much money. Who wouldn’t want to bring one back?

They not only embezzled the living expenses, but also made the educated youth pay for the food in their village themselves.

Some people also asked curiously: "Why are resettlement fees in big cities higher than in small places?"

Accountant Li was clear on this point: "Why don't you ask why there are fewer returnees from big cities than from small cities? Up to now, there haven't been any job openings from big cities for educated youth in our brigade. Those who have been able to return have done so because their families have found ways to get them back. That 400 yuan isn't resettlement money; it's a subsidy for canceling your big city hukou."

Everyone started discussing it, seemingly understanding it or not!

In the afternoon, everyone stopped working and gathered together to calculate how much money Village Chief Zhao had embezzled in the village over the years.

The calculation directly resulted in a huge sum of money. Everyone thought that Village Chief Zhao had accomplices in the commune, otherwise he would not be so powerful.

We don’t know exactly how much Secretary Zhao embezzled, but it must have been a lot.

The more they calculated, the angrier they became. If it weren't for the team leader and Accountant Li suppressing them, some of these furious people would have wanted to tear down Village Chief Zhao's house!

Mother Li dragged the trembling Li Ying back home and said, "What are you afraid of? You've already severed ties. It won't harm you. I'll ask your eldest brother to go to the commune to find Zhao Guiquan and tell him to tell you that we've severed ties."

Li Ying burst into tears, sobbing and complaining, "Mom, I'm so upset. Zhao Guiquan has been married to me for more than five years, and he has paid 30 yuan to the family every month. That's 360 yuan a year, and at least 1,800 yuan in five years. But only 700 yuan was found with Wang Lanhua. Where did the rest go? Zhao Guixiang does nothing, but she still gives He Junwei living expenses every month. Now she actually has more than 500 yuan in savings. Where did all that money come from? This is all Zhao Guiquan's salary. She said every day that she would keep the money for us, afraid that I would use it to support my parents, but in the end she used it all to support her other children."

Mother Li said with a look of dismay, "What's the point of you crying now? I told you to stand up straight, but you didn't listen. You still think they don't want you when you're not around. You're really afraid that we'll really ask for your money. I don't know how I could have given birth to such a clueless person like you."

Li Ying cried even harder after being scolded. Her mother sighed and said, "Don't cry. It doesn't matter if you lose your job or your money. In the countryside, as long as you work hard, you won't starve. What you need to do now is to prevent Zhao Guiquan from getting implicated. Think about the two children too. With a grandfather like this, if Zhao Guiquan gets implicated again, they won't be able to hold their heads up high for the rest of their lives."

I really don't know why I gave birth to such a stupid thing.

Li Ying also came to her senses and said, "Mom, please help me look after the child. My brother and I will go to the commune to take a look."

After Li Ying left, the team leader and Accountant Li brought Zhao Guixiang's son over and asked Li Ying to take care of him for a few days.

Li's mother was not happy about this, so she took the opportunity to tell her the reason why Zhao Guiquan broke off relations with his family.

She also recounted how Wang Lanhua had abused her daughter over the years.

My son-in-law earns more than 30 yuan a month, and he only needs five yuan for living expenses.

Every penny of the five dollars had to be reported clearly to Wang Lanhua. If there was even a penny missing, she would say it was used to subsidize the Li family.

However, Wang Lanhua used her son-in-law's salary to subsidize her other children.

It was obvious that the money in Wang Lanhua's hands was Zhao Guiquan's salary.

The team leader and Accountant Li didn't know what to say. Everyone in the village knew that Wang Lanhua was torturing her young daughter-in-law.

Moreover, Li Ying married into the Zhao family under such circumstances, which was considered shameful in the village.

After so many years, this is probably the only case in the entire commune. No family is willing to marry a girl like this.

Now even Zhao Guiquan has come to live with his mother-in-law, which means that they have become incompatible.

The relationship between the two families was already not good, and now that the Zhao family has encountered this kind of incident, who would be willing to accept another child? It might bring trouble upon themselves.

In the end, the team leader and his two companions sent the child to the home of Village Chief Zhao’s younger brother, but the brother said that the two families had not had any contact for many years.

Now that something has happened, I am afraid of being implicated and am even less likely to help take care of the children.

There was no choice but for the child to be taken back by the team leader.
