Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Qiao Lei felt a little touched when she heard her words. Indeed, we all live in the same place, so why should we be treated differently just because of our different places of origin?

"I believe you." Qiao Lei finally softened her heart, mainly because she was afraid that Lin Xiaomei would jump into the river if she got stimulated again.

She can't swim, so Lin Xiaomei may not be rescued.

The main reason was that Lin Xiaomei left her and committed suicide. Now that she is gone, she can't explain it even if she opens her mouth a thousand times.

If she were in Lin Xiaomei's situation now, she would probably have been unable to bear the pressure and would not have been able to continue living in the village.

Lin Xiaomei looked at Qiao Lei with gratitude, tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, Qiao Lei," she said. "You are the only one who is willing to believe me."

Qiao Lei patted her hand gently and comforted her, "Don't think too much, it's over. Let's work hard together and live a good life in the future."

Lin Xiaomei nodded, wiped away her tears, and smiled helplessly.

When her mood improved a little, she continued, "I knew you were a good person, unlike Zhao Lanlan, who said she was doing this for my own good but actually schemed against me everywhere.

It was she who first told me that Jiang Yanqiu treated her like a servant, and I couldn't help but stand up for her. She also said that Jiang Yanqiu had money but didn't want to buy food, only to take it for free. Our food didn't just come from the wind, so why should we give it to her? So, in a moment of panic, I did what I did.

I just didn't want Jiang Yanqiu to live with us, and I had no other bad intentions. Who would have thought that she would be so depressed that she would jump into the water and commit suicide?

I just wanted to hide the money today to scare her. Zhao Lanlan also knows that I took the money a long time ago. I had plenty of opportunities last night when she was unconscious. Why should I wait until now?"

Qiao Lei showed an expression that said, "As expected," but she was mostly speechless.

All of this was Zhao Lanlan's conspiracy, deliberately framing Lin Xiaomei, but Lin Xiaomei jumped into it without realizing it.

She couldn't help but sigh, this world is so complicated!

Lin Xiaomei had been paying attention to the changes in Qiao Lei's expression. Seeing that she seemed to really believe what she said, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Her reputation in the village has been ruined, but she doesn't care about it. After all, that's how it is in the village. People won't always remember what you did. Soon there will be new topics, and everyone will forget about her little thing.

She also didn't care about the people at the educated youth site. After all, her reputation in the past was worse than it was now, and she could easily control the other three.

At present, she only wanted to win over Qiao Lei, because anyone who could build a house and move out to live independently must be quite powerful. As long as she could please such a person, even a small amount of charity from them would be enough to keep them working hard for a long time.

Although Qiao Lei appears cold and difficult to approach, has a cold personality, is not willing to suffer any loss, and is extremely defensive, she doesn't seem like someone you would confide in easily.

But after spending some time together, Lin Xiaomei found that she was softer and easier to get along with.

As for Gu Qingqing, with smart people like Lin Shaoyang and Gu Qingshi protecting her, she had no chance at all.

Jiang Yanqiu didn't understand the situation before and acted too aggressively. Now she has completely offended people and there is no way back.

But she was a little too happy too early.

"Bang!"

The closed door was kicked open with a loud noise.

Qiao Lei stood up and walked out, only to see Zhao Lanlan with a gloomy face and a bunch of gossipy women from the village.

Seeing that she had come with bad intentions, Qiao Lei didn't act too polite.

"Are you lacking in upbringing? Who gave you permission to kick down my door?"

Zhao Lanlan ignored Qiao Lei's questioning, walked past her and came to Lin Xiaomei, who looked pale, and stared at her.

Lin Xiaomei no longer had the smug look she had just had. Feeling guilty, she lowered her head and avoided Zhao Lanlan's gaze.

Not sure what the two people were doing, Qiao Lei took the two cups off the table to avoid being accidentally hurt.

She bought this from Gu Qingqing at a high price. It might not even be sold in the district, and she hasn't even paid for it yet.

Qiao Lei watched the two men at loggerheads, wondering: What had happened between them? Why had Zhao Lanlan come to her house in such anger? And why did Lin Xiaomei seem so guilty?

Qiao Lei decided to observe the situation first before making any plans.

But she was secretly alert in her heart, and she didn't want her home to become a battlefield for their fight.

Zhao Lanlan's face grew increasingly gloomy, and she clenched her fists tightly, as if ready to explode at any moment. Meanwhile, Lin Xiaomei kept her head down, not daring to meet Zhao Lanlan's gaze.

Finally, Zhao Lanlan shouted angrily, "Lin Xiaomei, you dare to say such things about me behind my back! When did I ever tell you such things? If I hadn't changed Jiang Yanqiu's clothes yesterday, I wouldn't have known she was rich! I even gave false testimony to protect your reputation today, hoping that I would return the money later, but you actually slandered me like this!"

Today everyone's attention is on the matter of Jiang Yanqiu losing money.

Only Zhao Lanlan noticed Li Chunni's words. She said Lin Xiaomei called her shameless and asked Gu Qingqing for delicious food, but she was unhappy because she didn't get any benefits after she moved out.

The scene was chaotic at the time and she didn't say anything. After all, compared to a few hundred dollars, her matter was not important.

Later, she thought that she had never offended Qiao Lei, but Qiao Lei inexplicably distanced herself from her, and the look in her eyes was full of disgust and hostility.

When she went to work in the afternoon, she spent two cents to ask Li Chunni about the whole story. It turned out that Lin Xiaomei often made up stories about her with Qiao Lei.

Because Li Chunni had a conflict with the two of them, she would eavesdrop on their conversation whenever she had the chance, and Lin Xiaomei had a loud voice.

After hearing the whole story clearly, Li Chunni accepted Zhao Lanlan's money and said she would testify for her.

Zhao Lanlan was cooking just now. When she saw Lin Xiaomei walking towards the backyard, she knew without hesitation that she was going to find Qiao Lei to deal with them.

She immediately went to find Li Chunni and the others to come together, so that no matter who she framed, there would be witnesses, so that Lin Xiaomei would not deny it again. By the way, she also clarified the matter of Lin Xiaomei's previous fabrication about her.

She didn't expect to hear Lin Xiaomei blame everything she had done on her as soon as she arrived. If she hadn't heard this, she didn't know how bad her reputation would be in the future.

She did have some thoughts about Jiang Yanqiu's affairs.

She knew that Lin Xiaomei was short-sighted and jealous, and couldn't stand others being better than her.

Especially the newly educated youth, Lin Xiaomei suffered a lot when she first arrived. So she couldn't bear to see others with similar conditions living better than her.

That's why I deliberately washed the dishes for Jiang Yanqiu and gave the food to Jiang Yanqiu first. By then, Lin Xiaomei would definitely be jealous and make trouble.

When things got out of hand, he took the opportunity to separate Lin Xiaomei and stopped working with her.

Or she could go to Gu Qingqing and plead her misery, asking Gu Qingqing to take her in and live with her.

But she really didn't say anything to Lin Xiaomei, she just wanted to provoke Lin Xiaomei.

Zhao Lanlan didn't expect Jiang Yanqiu's psychological quality to be so poor that she jumped into the river and committed suicide at the slightest touch.

She knew nothing about Lin Xiaomei stealing the money. Today she gave false testimony and wanted to take the money, but she had never thought of stealing it before.

Unexpectedly, now it turns out that she instructed Lin Xiaomei to do it.
