Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Chu Tingnan suddenly realized and said, "You're really scheming. Liu Yuanda used to say you were the most honest person in your educated youth camp... But after getting to know so many people in your educated youth camp, it really is you who is the most honest."

Chu Tingnan originally wanted to say that Liu Yuanda was blind, but he quickly changed his words when the words came to his lips. If he didn't change his words, he would be beaten by three generations of people (three generations of people would beat him together).

Nan Wanwu said from the side, "Young girl, please be more careful. You see, many educated youth have been tricked into marrying off, and now they can't come back even if they want to, and they can't get a divorce even if they want to."

Chu Tingnan echoed from the side: "Men are also calculated. If I hadn't been smart, Zeng Hua would be a father now."

After the old man left, Jiang Yanqiu asked the old lady: "Grandma, why did you arrange it for him when grandpa didn't want to marry a concubine?"

In fact, she had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she was embarrassed to ask the old man.

The old lady said cheerfully, "Don't listen to his high-sounding words. What girl doesn't want to be with one person for the rest of her life? Our lives back then weren't as easy as yours now. It was perfectly normal for a man to have concubines. If you disagree, you're just being jealous."

The old lady grew up abroad with her parents when she was young, and has been helping her family run the business since she came back.

Being with the old man, although it was also a marriage of arrangement, at least we met first and had some emotional foundation.

She married far away and after marriage she said she wanted to find a job outside.

Her husband's family said there was no point in working, that she didn't take good care of her husband and was just going out to show off in public, and that the family didn't need her salary.

Soon she became pregnant and stopped looking for a job.

Maybe it’s because since ancient times, mothers-in-law have never been able to stand seeing their sons and daughters-in-law have a good relationship.

They also said that the old lady did nothing but eat and use their things.

Later, even her sister-in-law took advantage of her, and even the servants disliked her and thought she was a waste.

One time, she got up in the middle of the night to drink water and heard her mother-in-law persuading the old man to find a concubine. The old man neither agreed nor refused.

It’s just that my wife got pregnant right after we got married, and it would be bad to take a concubine at this time.

At that time, the old lady thought it was an excuse to fool her mother. Later, her mother-in-law never mentioned it again, so the old lady didn't take it seriously.

When it came to Huainan Wanwu, her mother-in-law actually asked her to take the initiative to find a concubine for the old man. Of course, she was unwilling.

Before her mother-in-law could even open her mouth, her unmarried sister-in-law said that everything she ate and used came from the Nan family, so why did the old man have to ask her opinion before marrying a concubine? Every man in the family would just find a wife and leave.

This caused a big uproar and the old lady almost had a miscarriage.

The old man said that his sister-in-law was ignorant, and then promised that he would never take a concubine in his life, and the matter was over.

There was not even an apology. The old lady started to feel unhappy and thought that men were really unreliable and she had to rely on herself.

Before she was out of confinement, her mother-in-law sent her away, saying she was a maid. Her purpose was very direct.

Which maid would be as beautiful as a flower and dress so gorgeously?

The old lady was a powerful person. She grew up abroad and was angry at her mother-in-law's behavior. As soon as Nan Wanwu was born, she started sleeping in a separate room.

All the people who were forced to come here were sent to take care of the old man. It would have to be like this sooner or later anyway, so it would be better to arrange it early. Whether the old man is willing or not is none of her business.

Why waste time on a man who is not destined to belong to her alone?

She found someone to look after her children and went to work, but the Nan family did not allow her to work in other companies or units.

The Nan family couldn't afford to lose face, but they didn't want her to work at the Nan family company.

Later, the old lady sold her dowry and started her own business.

By the time the Nan family found out, the stall had already been set up and could not be sold because the old lady had used her dowry money to set up the stall, and it would not be easy for the Nan family to manage it.

The old lady can only manage it herself, but to the outside world, she can only tell it is the Nan family's property and ask her to help manage it.

The old lady had no objection. It was the same not only in China but also abroad.

If a woman does business without a backer, even if there is no vested interest, people will not want to see you succeed and will deliberately suppress you.

The Nan family is also a support for her, but she also put forward an opinion that it is okay to use the Nan family name, but her business must not be mixed with the Nan family, and the accounts and funds must be independent.

There was no conflict of interest between what she did and what the Nan family did. Except for her sister-in-law and mother-in-law, no one else in the Nan family had any objections.

With the help of the Nan family's name, her business was booming. Within two years, it became a company and directly stole the old man's limelight.

When the old man really married a concubine, the old lady no longer had any expectations of the old man and focused all her attention on her children and business.

The head of the Nan family saw her abilities and was very satisfied with her, so he asked her to participate in managing some of the Nan family's businesses.

The old man was determined to win over the old lady, and the two of them competed with each other to manage the Nan family's business in an orderly manner.

As time went by, the old man and the old woman became true partners and friends. Their relationship was even better than before, and they could discuss everything.

No matter how the old man distributes the property, the old lady's biological child's share must be twice that of the other children.

After all, the old lady has helped a lot in managing the Nan family's business.

She ran the business until she donated the company. Although it is not as good as the old brands like the Nan family, it is also a well-known enterprise, and it has always been suppressing the old man.

Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who used to dislike her, didn't even dare to fart in front of her from the time she was valued by the Nan family until her death.

As for why she didn't divorce, firstly, it was difficult to divorce at that time, and if she divorced, she would lose the Nan family's support, and others would not know how to divide her property.

Secondly, finding another man may not necessarily be better than the old man. If you don’t find another man, there will be more rumors and it will have a worse impact on the company.

It would be better to just make do with it and treat the old man as a partner, and you can still get by.

However, no matter how successful the old lady's business is, only she knows the hardships a woman goes through in starting a business, and the fruits of her hard work have to be named after the Nan family.

But if it weren't for the Nan family's reputation, her efforts probably wouldn't be enough for others to share.

So when Chu's father tried to develop her into a real underground party member and talked to her about true women's liberation, she agreed without thinking.

Unexpectedly, Chu's father actually "tricked" his own daughter away from home every day under the pretext of work.

The old lady was quite satisfied with Chu's father, but she was not happy about her daughter marrying far away.

In addition, Chu's father has a stepmother, and the old lady is really worried.

The old lady was dissatisfied with Chu's father, but she only expressed it in words.
