Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

After the others left, Wang Lanhua, the village chief's wife, came out from the inner room, looked at the things the two had brought, curled her lips and said, "Lin Shaoyang has been here for five years, and I finally see him show some appreciation. But compared to Qiao Zhiqing and the others, it's still far behind."

Qiao Lei and the others brought useful and good things, but what these two brought looked very impressive, but were actually useless.

Village Chief Zhao kept silent with his head down!

Wang Lanhua continued to mutter, "They say the richer people are, the stingier they are. It's true. Lin Shaoyang's family is quite wealthy, but they haven't been as rich as Liu Yuanda's in recent years. Liu Yuanda at least knows how to give gifts during festivals, but Lin Shaoyang is so stingy."

Village Chief Zhao said angrily, "Can't you just shut up? Will you die of suffocation if you don't speak?"

"Why are you so fierce? I'm just thinking about you. You run around for these educated youth all day long, and they take it for granted, treating you like a cow."

In fact, Wang Lanhua mainly disliked Lin Shaoyang. Before, their favorite son-in-law was Lin Shaoyang. They had given him many hints, openly and secretly, but Lin Shaoyang just didn't express his opinion.

She also embarrassed her youngest daughter, Zhao Guixiang, in front of everyone.

In the end, Zhao Guixiang had no choice but to marry He Junwei. Although He Junwei was a city dweller, his family conditions were not as good as those of them, who were from the countryside.

They didn't even give a dowry when I got married, and I still have to pay for my living expenses when I go to college. The more I think about it, the more angry I get.

This time when he went to college, he didn't come back during the winter and summer vacations. He only wrote to me when he asked for living expenses. At other times, he seemed to have disappeared.

Village Chief Zhao knew exactly what Wang Lanhua was thinking, and he said with a stern face, "Don't try to think of anything crooked. Just do what you can. Is Lin Shaoyang someone you can truly marry? How could the son of a high-ranking official like you, a country bumpkin who didn't even graduate from elementary school?"

Wang Lanhua said disapprovingly, "So what if he's the son of a high-ranking official? He's still a rural person now. He's been in the village for four or five years and can't go back. If he had married Guixiang, he would be a college student now."

Village Chief Zhao said speechlessly, "I didn't want to go back at all. If I wanted to go back, I would have gone back long ago. Why would I have to look up to you here? You're just pretending to be something! You have no self-awareness at all. Do you really think I'm the Party Secretary? From now on, my return to the city depends on my approval, and I can control my life? If I want to go back to the city, I don't even need to go through me."

Village chief Zhao was really angry this time and had disagreed with finding a son-in-law who was an educated youth from the very beginning.

Among those male educated youth who are willing to find rural girls, ninety-nine out of a hundred are unable to endure hardship and want to be supported by the girls or have other intentions.

But the old woman didn't listen and both of her sons-in-law found educated youth.

It was only because he used his connections and paid for a job and a house for his eldest daughter that she was able to move to the city with him.

As a result, I have no dignity at all in my husband's family.

As for the younger brother-in-law, he still had to beg them, and he started to show his displeasure.

Thinking of this, Village Chief Zhao said again: "Do you think He Junwei is a good person? If I weren't the Party Secretary and in charge of their return to the city, would he have looked down on our family? Tell Lao Wu to send him less money. He has university subsidies. Other children save money and send it back to support the family, but he doesn't have enough to spend every day. I don't know where the money I send him goes. When he finds someone better, you don't see if he will come back."

Although he had already made a backup plan, if He Junwei climbed into a wealthy family, it would be difficult for him to intervene.

"I'm not stupid." Wang Lanhua knew in her heart that if she gave He Junwei more money, wouldn't that be creating opportunities for him to find a more powerful woman?

Men become bad when they have money. Many women will abandon all bottom lines as long as a man is rich, not to mention that He Junwei is quite good-looking.

Village Chief Zhao reminded him again, "Also, stay out of the educated youth's affairs. You almost got yourself into big trouble this time."

"Isn't it just... isn't it just a young man who bravely stood up for justice? Is there any need to exaggerate like this? And isn't he still alive?"

Wang Lanhua originally wanted to say, "It's just one educated youth who died. So many educated youth have died in recent years. Who cares?" But she was afraid of being beaten.

"You know nothing. Jiang Yanqiu is not just a brave young man, she also comes from a cadre family. Even if she sues you for slandering her now, both of us will be in trouble."

Before, he had not paid attention to Jiang Yanqiu's family background, but only paid attention to Gu Qingshi and Wang Haiyang, who were specifically asked to be taken care of.

Today I went to the commune and specifically checked Jiang Yanqiu's file and noticed that she was also the child of a cadre.

Wang Lanhua said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? Haven't we severed our relationship?"

Wang Lanhua was terrified by Jiang Yanqiu's suicide yesterday. She had tried to stop Jiang Yanqiu from complaining to her husband and had scolded him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yanqiu went out and jumped into the river to commit suicide.

So many things happened at the educated youth point today, but she didn't go to watch the fun, for fear that someone would target her.

But since she was the village chief's wife, naturally someone would come and tell her in detail.

Village Chief Zhao scolded them directly: "What do you know? Even if we cut off ties, they are still their children. What's more, they haven't cut off ties yet. They can oppress them however they want, but it's not your turn to bully them."

Wang Lanhua muttered softly, "I'm doing this for your own good."

Village Chief Zhao didn't want to hear her say any more: "Alright, stay away from Lin Xiaomei from now on. She's been doing nothing all day long. She used to be just rude and unreasonable, but now she even dares to steal money. This is going to be a disaster!"

"You think I want to pay attention to her, but..."

"Shut up!" The village chief interrupted Wang Lanhua and walked out angrily.

As a result, as soon as the door was opened, the daughter-in-law Li Ying who was eavesdropping outside fell in.

The couple's faces couldn't be any darker.

Wang Lanhua was so angry that she had no place to vent it, and Li Ying bumped into her.

Wang Lanhua didn't like Li Ying at all. She had chosen a female educated youth for her youngest son. She came from a cadre family and was beautiful and capable.

But the youngest son insisted on marrying Li Ying, and the two of them even got it done beforehand. When she got pregnant, he came to her house to force her to get married.

If it weren't for Li Ying, her youngest son would have returned to the city with that female educated youth to eat the rationed food, instead of being just a temporary worker now.

Li Ying felt very aggrieved after being scolded, and lowered her head in silence.

Zhao Guiquan heard the noise and came out to his mother, saying, "Mom, what did Yingzi do wrong to make you angry? Why do you always take it out on her? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others every day?"

Wang Lanhua was already angry because her son favored Li Ying, and now she was even more furious. She cursed, "I took it out on her? Humph, have you ever seen a daughter-in-law eavesdrop on her parents-in-law? It's such a shame to even talk about it! Only you still protect her like a treasure!"

After hearing this, Zhao Guiquan looked at Li Ying with a puzzled look, waiting for her to give him an explanation.

Li Ying looked aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes. She choked and said, "I really didn't eavesdrop on Mom and Dad's conversation... I was just about to get some water, and as soon as I opened the door, Dad opened it and came out. I just came out of the house, don't you know?"

Zhao Guiquan thought about it and felt that this was indeed possible. In addition, his mother was often unreasonable and took her anger out on Yingzi for no reason.

He ignored Wang Lanhua and directly pulled Li Ying into the house, saying to her comfortingly, "Okay, don't bother with her. Go back to the house. I'll fetch the water. Don't pay any attention to her. She's always making trouble out of nothing."

After that, Zhao Guiquan took Li Ying back to the house. Wang Lanhua was so angry that she almost fainted when she saw her son treating her like this.
