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

When everyone saw Su Lingwu come out and ask them questions, they stood there somewhat awkwardly.

They all lowered their heads, their eyes darting around.

Most people would pretend they didn't hear it if they encountered this situation, but this was the first time someone had come up to ask directly, and everyone was a little flustered.

Su Lingwu smiled brightly, "I'm the kind of person who likes to be straightforward and dislikes leaving things unsaid. I just want to know, what's wrong with what my sister-in-law said about marrying a wife like me?"

"Let me hear what's wrong with me!"

"Whose insightful opinion was that just now? Please continue, let me listen carefully to your teachings."

"hehe……"

"That...it's all a misunderstanding. Nobody meant anything by it. We were just curious. It's rare to see a mother-in-law accompanying a soldier. We were just chatting."

Those nearby quickly tried to smooth things over, mainly because it wasn't good for Commander Fu's wife to offend someone on her first day.

"Oh..." Su Lingwu nodded.

"After that, my sisters-in-law won't be so surprised anymore. They'll get used to it after a while. My husband loves me so much that he brought my mom and brother over because he was worried I'd be bored by myself."

"If you miss your wife's family, that's fine too. Is there a rule that says your wife's family can't come over?"

Seeing Su Lingwu's innocent gaze, everyone shook their heads.

That's the situation, but these days, which family would be willing to give up so much food to support the wife's family?

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Su Lingwu decided not to continue arguing with them. She just needed to know that she was not someone to be trifled with.

"Dear ladies, we just moved here and have a lot to do, so we won't keep you company any longer."

With a "snap!", Su Lingwu turned around and closed the courtyard gate.

The crowd looked at each other.

"This new bride is pretty impressive!"

"I think she's just taking advantage of the fact that she's newly married and that Commander Fu dotes on her, so she's causing trouble. You wait and see, no man can tolerate a woman like that for long."

Whose wife is so wasteful, even bringing her own family over? How much extra money and food does she spend every month? Commander Fu definitely won't be able to stand it for long.

The family members, who had just been rendered speechless by Su Lingwu's retort, had lost face and seemed to want to make amends.

"Fang Hongying, you're really something now. Why didn't you say anything earlier? It's all your fault. You made us all lose face."

"Hey, Gao Yufen, didn't you just say who said she had a family to support? How come you're putting all this on me now!"

"I was just asking, I didn't mean any harm. It was you who said that marrying a woman like her, with that look of disdain, made her unhappy."

"You're talking nonsense!"

The two started arguing at the door.

Su Lingwu couldn't help but laugh when she heard the argument outside.

She walked over and took Xu Meili's arm. "Mom, just remember that you're not here as a guest. You're part of this family. Don't let what other people say upset you."

"They're just sour grapes. They're not as lucky as me to have met such a wonderful mother like you, who gave up such a good job to take care of her daughter."

"Yes, Mom, what those people outside think doesn't matter at all. Don't take it to heart. I'm very grateful that you and Guoyao came to help me take care of Lingwu."

Fu Linchuan was also afraid that his mother-in-law would feel uncomfortable if she heard those words.

That's the downside of family housing. The families come from all over the country, from all corners of the country, and there are all sorts of people with varying levels of education and character, so friction is inevitable.

"Don't worry about me, I won't take it to heart. I was mentally prepared before I came. Don't worry about me, your mother isn't as fragile as you think."

"If I were a fragile person, I wouldn't have been divorced twice."

That's true; these idle gossips can't hurt her.

She hasn't figured out the situation yet, but in the future, if anyone dares to say anything unpleasant to her, a big slap will shut them up.

Su Lingwu and Fu Linchuan exchanged a smile. That's good.

They closed the door and went about their own little lives.

"Let's see how the new house is." Su Lingwu knew that as long as Fu Linchuan wasn't transferred, he would probably continue living here for the next few years.

The yard is quite large, with vegetable gardens in the front and back, but it's rather overgrown and nothing is planted there, only weeds.

The house is a single-story building of over 80 square meters. It's small but complete, with a bedroom, kitchen, dining area, and shower room.

The only drawback is that there is no toilet; you have to go to the yard where there is a simple shed.

Upon entering the house, there is a corridor that divides the house in two. On the left, facing the sun, is a bedroom with a kang (heated brick bed) in front, and a place for cooking and bathing behind. The right side is the same, with a bedroom in front and a large stove connected to the kang in the back, which is the kitchen for cooking.

"This house is quite big; it's much better than living in an apartment building."

Xu Meili knew that her son-in-law had applied for a single-story house, not an apartment building, but she didn't expect it to be so big.

You should know that the Zhao family, with more than ten members, were crammed into a house of just over thirty or forty square meters, and they were packed together when they ate.

The son-in-law's house must be at least 80 square meters, with a square and upright layout. The room where she and her son live is also quite spacious.

"Mom, is this the room we're living in?"

Zhao Guoyao couldn't believe it; the house they lived in with his brother-in-law while they were serving in the military was actually bigger than the one at the Zhao family's house.

Zhao Guoyao was overjoyed. He flipped over and rolled around on the kang (a heated brick bed), shouting, "Mom, come on up! It's so spacious!"

"Hey, you little rascal, get down here right now! You haven't wiped anything, your clothes are going to get dirty."

Xu Meili quickly pulled her son down.

"Honey, you and Mom stay home. I'll go and bring back the furniture and some household items."

When Li Jun left, he left the car with him, knowing that Li Jun would need it.

"I want to go with you!"

When it came to furnishing the house and other household items, Su Lingwu perked up. She wanted to arrange everything herself, since they would be living there for a long time and wanted to make it as comfortable as possible.

Fu Linchuan held his wife's small hand and said, "Aren't you tired? I'm worried you're working too hard."

"I want to go and choose for myself!"

Seeing his wife acting coquettishly towards him, Fu Linchuan affectionately ruffled Su Lingwu's hair. "Okay, you're in charge in our family. But if you're tired, be sure to tell me. Don't push yourself."

Su Lingwu nodded happily, "Okay."

Xu Meili watched her daughter and son-in-law's sweet activities with a smile on her lips. "Okay, you two go ahead. I'll stay home and clean."

She happened to be tidying up the house at home, and the furniture had returned, so the house was almost completely tidied up.

Fu Linchuan took his wife to a department store and bought a lot of daily necessities, as well as a lot of grains, vegetables, pork, and eggs, which were all put in the car.

Then Fu Linchuan took Su Lingwu to a carpenter's house. He had learned from his comrades that there was a carpenter in the area, so he had arranged to make some furniture for him and then take it away when he returned.

"You already booked it!"

When Su Lingwu saw so much furniture displayed in the yard, she knew that Fu Linchuan must have ordered it from someone long ago, otherwise the carpenter wouldn't have dared to make so much ready-made furniture.

Smaller items might be made occasionally, but items like wardrobes, kang cabinets, dining tables, and desks are rarely made; they can only be made to order.

"Yes, when I submitted the marriage application, I asked my comrades to help me order furniture. I promised my dad that the bride price would be three turns, one ring, and thirty-six legs, so you wouldn't be shortchanged."

"you……"

Su Lingwu didn't expect that Fu Linchuan had made the decision so early.

She had considered booking in advance, but she didn't expect it to be so early.
