Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

To be honest, not to mention Jiang Anhua, even she herself finds it hard to accept the current environment in the yard. Who would be happy to see such a good yard being ruined like this?

This isn't the kind of slum where every household litters and expects others to clean up so they don't have to do it themselves.

But what could she do? It was her own mother who caused this situation. Even if she felt a little emotional, she didn't dare to complain casually.

The Queen Mother, standing by, was displeased when she heard this. She frowned, curled her lips, and muttered, "Why are you sweeping such a clean place? When you were home, our house was much dirtier than this yard. The yard looked more like a pigsty, and you never even asked to clean it. How come you've forgotten all your old ways after only being married to a cadre for a few days?"

Wang Weiwei didn't know what to say after hearing this. She could only sigh helplessly and said, "Mom, what you said is wrong. How can our family compare with others? What are our conditions like? What are the conditions here? Our family lives in a large compound with dozens of families living in one yard. Others have their own houses and yards, and they clean up and enjoy their own lives."

Who would have thought that instead of restraining herself, the Queen Mother raised her voice an octave higher, shouting at the top of her lungs: "Whatever your status, we all have noses, mouths, and eyes! Why do we have to live in that dirty, messy place, but they can't? I think this is typical capitalist behavior! If someone reports us, we will definitely be paraded through the streets and criticized!"

Wang Weiwei was really furious now, her face flushed with anger, and she shouted, "How could I have meant that? You clearly have the conditions to live in a better environment, but you insisted on making a mess here, leaving no place to step. You and your sister-in-law have nothing to do all day, and you are not willing to clean up for just a few minutes!"

Now they're bringing up all this class conflict stuff, which is really speechless! You said you can live in a place with a bad environment, so if that's the case, then why don't you live in a toilet or a pigsty? Aren't those places more to your liking?

The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment, and after a long while she retorted: "We are lazy, so why don't you clean it yourself? If you don't like it, just clean it yourself."

Wang Weiwei felt a little aggrieved when she heard this. She murmured softly, "Mom, I'm in confinement after childbirth. I'm still very weak."

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother didn't buy it at all, and even rolled her eyes, saying: "Oh, you think you're so great just because you're in confinement? Can't you do anything? You're too squeamish! I've given you a little face, but you don't know your own weight. Do you really think you are a young lady?

Back then, when we had just given birth to you, we had to take care of the whole family's food, drink, defecation and urination, and we did all the work, such as washing clothes and cooking in winter. But when it comes to you, you don't even want to sweep the floor."

The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more she felt she was right. "I think you just can't tolerate your sister-in-law and can't stand seeing her doing well! Is it because you're living a good life now that you look down on us poor relatives? Fine, if you have the guts, then drive me and your father away together!"

Faced with the Queen Mother's unreasonable demands, Wang Weiwei felt very bitter, but she didn't know how to respond.

Why do you have to force the hardships you have experienced on her? Everyone's times and circumstances are different!

The quarrel between mother and daughter became louder and louder, with no sign of stopping.

Jiang Anhua couldn't sleep because of the noise, so he just jumped up and ran to Jiang Mingzhu's house to sleep there.

When Wang's mother saw Jiang Anhua leave, she didn't calm down. Instead, she took out her anger on her daughter, Wang Weiwei, and continued to yell at the top of her voice, "I see you're just a show-off at home! When you get to the Jiang family, you don't even dare to fart! You've been in the Jiang family for so long, and you haven't even gained the power of a housekeeper! You're really useless!"

Jiang Weiwei looked at her unreasonable mother and simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, not bothering to pay attention to her.

The Queen Mother became increasingly agitated as she spoke, her mouth firing like a machine gun. She then muttered angrily, "If it were me, I would have arranged for your two sisters-in-law to marry off long ago! Especially the older one, who's already 25 or 26 years old, and still stays at home all day eating and drinking for free. She has no shame at all!"

And that old woman in the front yard has nothing to do with your family, yet your parents-in-law gave her two rooms. And then look at you, your own son's family, but they have to squeeze into such a small house. Is this unreasonable?"

The Queen Mother pointed at Wang Weiwei and said firmly, "I'm telling you, no matter what method you use, you must make room for us and your brother this time! We're going to move in! I don't want my eldest grandson to be born in that dark, damp, shabby place!

If you really leave your nephew without a place to live, don't blame us for disowning you! Don't you think about how you'll live in a place like the Jiang family, where people are eaten without leaving any bones, without anyone to support you? Now you're in confinement, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't even have anyone to take care of you. How miserable would that be!

You always care so much about what others think and give in to everything, but what's the result? In the end, no one cares about you during your confinement. Fortunately, you have me, your biological mother, and your brothers to rely on. Otherwise, you would have suffered so much!"

Wang Weiwei didn't say anything. During her confinement period, her family didn't do anything for them. The diapers were piled up waiting for Jiang Shaojie to come back and wash them, and no meals were prepared for her separately.

Jiang Anhua arrived at Jiang Mingzhu's house. When Jiang Mingzhu saw her father coming, she understood what had happened.

She quickly asked with concern: "Dad, have you eaten? How about I make you something to eat?"

Jiang Anhua, however, looked tired and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, let me sleep for a while."

Before he could finish his words, he walked towards the bed in the living room and fell down on it like a puddle of mud. After a while, he started snoring.

Jiang Mingzhu shook her head, feeling both amused and helpless. She turned around and called Jiang Chaojie, and took the three children back to the Jiang family to clean up, so that these little guys would not disturb Jiang Anhua's sleep at home.

When several people went to Jiang's house to clean, Queen Mother happened to see this scene from the window and felt very proud.

She turned around with a smile on her face and said to Wang Weiwei beside her, "See what I said? Even if we don't clean, there will be people who will take the initiative to help!

Humph, you're the only one who has nothing to do all day long, always looking for trouble. You can't stand your sister-in-law and me having so much free time, so you insist on us cleaning the yard. If you can't stand it, just clean it yourself. I don't care!"

After saying this, the Queen Mother rolled her eyes at Wang Weiwei smugly.
