I transmigrated to the 1970s and became the female lead's vicious stepsister.

"mom!"

Su Lingwu never expected it to be such a coincidence; she ran into her own mother while having a meal.

I thought it would take some time before we met, but we met so unexpectedly.

Fu Linchuan was sitting opposite him.

How should I tell my mother about our relationship?

"You silly child, now that you've come to the county town, why didn't you look for your mother first?"

"And your face..."

"What exactly happened?!"

Xu Meili almost didn't recognize her own daughter.

When has my daughter ever been so disheveled?

Something must have happened, otherwise why would the daughter be dressed in tattered clothes and have her face painted black?

Fu Linchuan knew that the other party was his future mother-in-law, so he quickly stood up and said, "Hello, Auntie, please have a seat."

Fu Linchuan also got Xu Meili a bowl and chopsticks, and asked for a bowl of white rice.

"Auntie, this isn't the place to chat. I'll explain later. Please join us for dinner first."

Walls have ears, and Fu Linchuan was afraid that his whereabouts would be discovered.

Su Lingwu thought that Fu Linchuan had said he had something to deal with, and judging from his disguise, it was probably quite troublesome.

"Mom, eat quickly, I'm starving. I'll explain later."

"this……"

Xu Meili looked at the food in front of her and couldn't help but swallow.

"Eat up, Mom. He should be paying for this meal."

Su Lingwu put some of each dish in Xu Meili's bowl.

When Xu Meili saw that her daughter had put so much meat on her plate, her eyes reddened. It was still her daughter who was on her side.

"Eat more, Mom doesn't like meat." Xu Meili put the meat from her bowl into Su Lingwu's bowl.

"Mom, you're talking nonsense. Who doesn't like to eat meat? Eat more, don't be polite with him, and ask him to order more if he's not full."

"Your daughter was taken away by him, pot and all, so it's only right that you eat some of his meat," Su Lingwu thought to herself.

"I'll ask the kitchen to add two more dishes," Fu Linchuan said, quickly getting up.

Xu Meili quickly stopped Fu Linchuan.

"No need, no need, there's enough food for us."

"You silly child!"

"How could we let them spend so much money!"

"Young man, please don't be offended, I've spoiled this girl."

Xu Meili glanced at her daughter with doting eyes.

The three of them finished their meal completely.

Although Xu Meili had a lot of questions, she knew it wasn't the right time to ask her daughter, so she began to enjoy the food in front of her.

She hasn't eaten meat in a long time.

The family only has a limited ration each month, which is not enough for a large family like ours.

Although Xu Meili married into a city family, every family has its own problems.

Over the years, there have been constant conflicts and frictions in the family. Let alone remarrying, even original couples cannot always have a smooth relationship.

With such a large family, young and old, plus stepchildren, how could there not be conflicts?

Let life just go on like this!

She only hoped that her daughter could live a happy life and marry into a good family.

"Aunt Xu, you're eating alone! I'm going to tell Dad and Grandma!"

The three were about to leave to find a place to have a proper chat when they heard a gasp from behind them.

What are you doing here?

Xu Meili saw her stepdaughter standing not far away, staring at them with anger in her eyes and her brows furrowed.

"Why can't I be here? You can come, so why can't I?"

"Aunt Xu, you've gone too far! You're disregarding the whole family and sneaking off to eat alone with your daughter."

When Zhao Nana passed by the state-run restaurant, her mouth watered. She glanced inside and saw her stepmother eating with her daughter and a man.

Although the plates on the table were all empty, it was easy to tell that four dishes had been ordered.

His lips were covered in oil; he must have eaten meat.

No wonder they couldn't afford meat at home; it turned out they were saving it for their daughter. This infuriated her.

"What do you mean I'm secretly eating alone?"

"My daughter was eating with her friends, and I saw it, so I ate with them. How did you turn that into her secretly eating alone?"

"Just because of your daughter..."

Zhao Nana looked Su Lingwu and Fu Linchuan up and down, her eyes full of disdain and contempt.

They're obviously a poor couple; they wouldn't have the money to eat here. Aunt Xu must have been treating them.

"She's just a country girl, where would she get money and ration coupons? It was all given to her by you!"

"you!"

She's just making trouble out of nothing, just like her grandma. Xu Meili was too lazy to argue with her.

"Xiao Wu'er, let's go, ignore her."

"Don't leave!"

"You...you have to treat me to meat too, or I'll tell Dad and Grandma."

Zhao Nana blocked the three people's way.

"I think you're just craving meat so badly, you've even started trying to extort money from me. If you want meat, go find your own dad, what are you doing bothering my mom here!"

Su Lingwu was so angry when she heard Zhao Nana's words that her blood pressure rose. What kind of person is she?

"You country bumpkin, how dare you talk to me like that? Believe me or not, I won't let you into my house!" Zhao Nana was always domineering.

"Tch, who cares to come into your house?"

"What's wrong?"

"How tall is your doorframe? It's shaking like that!"

She refuses to go even when invited.

"You...you..."

Zhao Nana was speechless after being confronted by Su Lingwu. She talked for a long time but still didn't know how to win the argument.

"I'm going to tell Grandma, you just wait!"

Zhao Nana was anxious to find help, and she kept turning back to glare at the group as she walked.

"Mom, that old lady from the Zhao family dared to bully you, I'm going to teach her a lesson!"

In my memory, Mrs. Zhao was not much better than Mrs. Su; both were mean-spirited mothers-in-law.

"My daughter is still the best. But Mom isn't that useless. The old lady wouldn't dare do anything to me. Let her say whatever she wants. Just treat it as listening to a play."

Xu Meili is no pushover either. For so many years, the old lady of the Zhao family has been trying to control her, but she has never succeeded. Does she really think she is an easy target?

"By the way, let's find a place to have a good talk. What's going on between you two?"

More than that, Xu Meili was concerned about what was going on between her daughter and this man.

Before he could even speak, Fu Linchuan saw the Revolutionary Committee members walking towards him from afar.

Although I disguised myself, I was still a stranger and it was not advisable to stay for long.

"Auntie, I'm so sorry. I'll apologize properly next time we meet. I have to go now."

"This is for you, take the flowers first." After saying that, he stuffed a handful of bills into Su Lingwu's pocket, turned around and disappeared around the street corner.

"Hey, what...how could he..."

Xu Meili looked bewildered. Su Lingwu saw a group of people walking over and guessed that they were trying to avoid them.

"Mom, let's go too."

Su Lingwu pulled Xu Meili along and quickened her pace.

"etc!"

"Where's the man who was walking with you just now?" The group of people immediately stopped the two.

"Comrades, what do you want with my cousin? I sent him back to the village." Su Lingwu spoke with an accent, her head lowered, as if she was too timid to look up.

"Yes, comrade, this is my daughter. She grew up in the countryside with her father. Her cousin brought her here to stay for a few days. We're hurrying back while it's still early."

Looking at Su Lingwu, who was dressed in tattered clothes and had a dark face, he couldn't be bothered to give her a second glance.

"Alright, let's go!" He waved his hand impatiently.

The mother and daughter quickly left, and finally, when they could no longer see the group of people, Xu Meili grabbed Su Lingwu.

"You brat, tell me, what exactly happened!"

"How did you get involved with someone like this? Get away from me right now, you hear me?"

Xu Meili was so frightened that her legs went weak.

This group is from the Revolutionary Committee; who wouldn't stay far away from them?

"Mom, it's not what you think. He's a soldier. Look, this is the money and notes he gave me; they're all military-issue."

Su Lingwu took out the money notes that Fu Linchuan had given her before he left from her pocket.

He was smart enough to leave her some money before leaving.

This is exactly what she needs most right now.

Xu Meili took a look and it was indeed true.

"That's not right!"

"What's your relationship? Why did he give you so many money notes?"

Xu Meili counted the money and found that there was more than fifty yuan, as well as a lot of grain coupons, sugar coupons, and meat slices. The grain coupons alone weighed more than twenty jin. Such a generous gift was just a casual gift to her daughter.

"Um... he's your son-in-law."

"What did you say?!"
