Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Chapter 171 Lin Xiaomei's Past

Zhao Guizhong didn't force her to make a decision immediately. Instead, he said kindly, "Think it over carefully and give me an answer in three days. But I have to warn you, if you don't leave here quickly, those who used to sell you things may no longer trust you. You'll lose your source of goods, and I'll also lose the job I gave you. You'll be despised by everyone in the Shanshui Brigade, and your good friend Qiao Lei may not be kind to you anymore. You'll be a sinner if you go home!"

After saying that, Zhao Guizhong turned and left.

If he hadn't been interested in the supply of goods in Lin Xiaomei's hands, he really wouldn't want to bother with someone like Lin Xiaomei.

As for whether the transaction would be successful, Zhao Guizhong was not worried. As long as he could get in touch, with his abilities and connections, he would not be worse than Lin Xiaomei.

The other party would be interested in someone like Lin Xiaomei, so it is impossible for them to look down on him.

As for sales channels, Zhao Guizhong doesn't have to worry about it. What he has always lacked is the goods.

The reason for adding it is just to highlight that the source of goods is not that important.

I have to say that what he said was quite right. Lin Xiaomei knew very well that what she did today was really a practice of hurting the enemy by eight hundred and hurting herself by a thousand.

Zhao Lanlan really couldn't go back to the city. Not only could she not go back to the city, but she would also become a person despised by everyone in the village.

If she goes home, she will become a sinner in the family. Her family will not take her in, and she will probably be a commodity to be sold at a high price.

When Lin Xiaomei thought about her family situation, her heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cave and was extremely cold.

I still remember that when she was in elementary school, she and Huang Linlin were deskmates.

Huang Linlin comes from a well-off family and always brings a lot of snacks to class. In order to gain benefits from others, she is willing to put aside her self-esteem and curry favor with them.

In this way, she became Huang's little follower, doing whatever he asked her to do.

When she was in the third grade, her family said they could no longer afford to send her to school.

This news was like being struck by lightning to her.

It’s not that she loves reading very much, but if she doesn’t study, she will have to do housework at home every day like her two sisters, and she will have to go to the mountains to find food by herself.

Just when she was at a loss, the kind-hearted Huang Linlin offered to help her pay the tuition.

At that time, the tuition for one semester was only a few yuan, which was a huge sum for their poor family. But for Huang Linlin, who came from a wealthy family, it was just a week's pocket money.

She ran home happily and told her parents the good news.

But who would have thought that her mother not only didn't appreciate the kindness, but also said sourly: "Your classmate's family is so rich, they can easily help you pay for your tuition. They must have a lot of power, right? Then why don't you ask her to find me a job too, so that we can have a better life at home."

She didn't know why at the time, and her mother scolded her for being an ungrateful person who didn't fight for any benefit for the family when she had such a good opportunity.

Faced with her mother's unreasonable demands, she felt helpless and aggrieved.

But there was no other way, so I had to bite the bullet and ask Huang Linlin for help.

What she didn't expect was that Huang Linlin agreed to her request immediately and really found a job for her mother.

Although it's just a temporary job, this is a job that many people dream of getting.

It was not until later that they found out that Huang Linlin's mother was the deputy director of their factory and her father was a government official.

Moreover, this factory used to belong to Huang Linlin’s grandfather, but was later donated to the country.

When her mother found out about this, she was furious and scolded her severely.

Her mother also felt that it was because she did not please Huang Linlin and that she did not treat her as a friend.

Otherwise, with Huang Linlin's parents having such great power and status, how could they only arrange a temporary job for her mother?

If you really consider her a friend, you should at least arrange formal jobs for her whole family!

She has two older sisters who are mostly unemployed, so she will help find a job for them.

She was scolded at home and hated Huang Linlin in her heart, but at this time she was urging her to go to the countryside.

She didn't want to go to the countryside, and she didn't want to be separated from Huang Linlin. She begged Huang Linlin to go to the countryside, but Huang Linlin said she had no choice but to go.

She asked Huang Linlin to help arrange a job for her. Huang Linlin said that what's the point of arranging a job for her, she would still be earning money for her brother and parents, so it would be better for her to go to the countryside and live a free life.

She didn't believe Huang Linlin and thought she was deliberately trying to sow discord between her and her parents, so she held a grudge against Huang Linlin.

Coincidentally, at this critical juncture, someone actually came to her and asked her to help slander the Huang family, and said that she would be given two jobs after the success.

With such good conditions, she agreed without even thinking about it.

She had her own plans for these two valuable job positions: one for herself and the other for her younger brother.

This way, her parents would definitely start to pay more attention to her, right? She wouldn't have to worry about them taking her job away and giving it to her brother.

But things did not develop as she expected at all, and she told her mother about it happily.

Her mother was also very happy and praised her for her promising future, but she said that her younger brother was too young to bear the hardship of working.

Then she gave one of the job opportunities to her cousin without hesitation, and asked her to use her connections to help her cousin get into the transport team.

She had worked hard for two years in the job she had finally gotten, but all her wages for those two years were taken away by her mother.

Her status in the family did not improve at all, and since her two sisters were married, she simply became the family's nanny.

Later, because her younger brother had to go to the countryside, her mother resorted to crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide, insisting that she give the job to her younger brother.

Just like Huang Linlin said, what good is it even if you have a job in the city?

In the end, she still has to earn money for her brother, and she doesn't get anything good for herself.

In fact, she understood Huang Linlin's words very clearly, as if it were a mirror.

But for some reason, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation...

She has always felt that her parents cared about her very much, but they were partial to her younger brother because the family was not well off.

After making contributions to the family, she felt that the family could not do without her.

So even though she has been in the countryside for many years, although she is not as silly as before and tells her family everything, she still insists on bringing things home, of course just a little bit.

She just wanted her parents to know how important she was and pay more attention to her.

But to her disappointment, all she got in return for all these years of hard work was her parents' ever-increasing appetite and endless desires.

Now my father is the only one in the family who has a job, and it's hard labor. The burden of the family almost falls on him alone.

Faced with this situation, she was still a little scared, feeling as if she had become the "meat" of this family and could be eaten at any time.

So she was afraid that her parents would come looking for her and wanted to escape from everything. She didn't want to admit that she had given so much to her family over the years, but in the end it was nothing.

It would seem like a good idea if Zhao Guizhong could secretly help her transfer her household registration and then help her start a new life in a place where no one knows her.
