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

Su Lingwu never expected that Zhang Yanling would actually have the audacity to feign innocence in front of her.

Do you think she's stupid and can be fooled by her?

They really think she's an easy target.

Let anyone pinch your fingers.

In Su Lingwu's dictionary, there is no such thing as being too embarrassed to turn against someone.

Upon hearing Su Lingwu's words, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at Zhang Yanling with interest.

Is there something else going on with her here?

Their heads, which had been drooping, straightened up. "Yes, they are victims too. It's all this bitch's doing. What are they afraid of?"

Zhang Yanling froze when she saw everyone's eyes fall on her.

His fingers, gripping the hem of his clothes, turned white; his eyes flickered; his voice trembled, "Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law."

"What...what are you talking about?"

"I...I don't understand!"

He took two steps back.

She really didn't expect that Commander Fu's wife would be like this; why didn't she play by the rules?

"Can't understand?"

"Alright, let me repeat what happened. These ladies told me today that I'm like a capitalist's daughter, making my home very fashionable."

"I asked my sisters-in-law who said that, because this is not a small matter for me and my family; it's very serious, and I have to find out."

"They said they heard it from others, but before that, you were the only one who came to my house and saw how it looked after it was decorated. I want to ask, if it wasn't you, who was it?"

Zhang Yanling continued to shake her head, her eyes still red.

"I'm speaking human language, how come you still can't understand?"

Su Lingwu pointed at Zhang Yanling and questioned her, "I'm asking you, is it you who said that I have the mannerisms of a capitalist's daughter and then spread those rumors?"

"Can you understand me?"

Zhang Yanling's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she covered her mouth in grievance, "Sister-in-law...you..."

How could you accuse me like that!

"How did I do anything wrong? I saw how busy your family was yesterday, and I was worried you wouldn't have time to cook, so I specially made pancakes and pickled vegetables and brought them over for you. I meant well... Waaah..."

Everyone saw Zhang Yanling cry, and she even specially delivered food to Commander Fu's family yesterday, so it shouldn't be her who spread the rumors, right?

"I'm asking you, did you spread the rumors? Why are you bringing up the matter of you delivering the pancakes?"

"You sent me some rice and flour cakes, but I returned the favor by giving you some cookies. I didn't let you suffer any loss."

"Waaah... It really wasn't me, sister-in-law."

Seeing Zhang Yanling crying so pitifully, everyone felt sorry for her.

They all live in the same residential compound and didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

"Let it go, Commander Fu's wife. We're all from the same compound. It's not good to have a conflict with someone so soon after you arrive."

"Yes, Battalion Commander Zhang's wife cried. She meant well and brought you food. It shouldn't be her who said it."

"Yes, everyone saw that you bought so much furniture yesterday. Maybe someone just said it without thinking, so don't take it to heart."

Su Lingwu looked at the person who had spoken kindly, "Why wouldn't I hold it against them!"

"The person who said those things had no good intentions!"

"Everyone says I'm wasteful, and I haven't said anything, but they dare to call me a capitalist's daughter! This is a deliberate attempt to frame me and harm my man!"

"This is the military area. As military spouses, you should be even more careful about your words and actions, as they can have significant consequences for others."

"If I don't take this seriously today, who will take responsibility if this gets back to the higher-ups?"

"You guys?"

No one dared to utter a sound; who could possibly take responsibility for this?

"What's wrong with me buying more furniture for my wedding?"

"Who did it bother!"

"We've spent everyone's money, so why are you all so stingy?"

"Isn't the point of earning money to give your family a better life? Don't you men earn money so that your wives and children can have enough to eat and wear new clothes?"

"How come it's a sin when it comes to me!"

"What's wrong with me trying to make myself as comfortable as possible within my means? Furniture isn't a consumable item; it's something you buy for a lifetime. It's better to keep things in the closet than to leave them outside to collect dust or get gnawed on by mice."

"I just invited a few of my sisters-in-law over for a tour. What do you think? Is the furniture I bought the kind used by capitalists, or is it just ordinary furniture?"

Several of the women who went to Su Lingwu's house quickly nodded in agreement, "That's true, they're all styles we use every day, but she bought a few more than we need."

Who wouldn't want to buy this if they had the money?

To put it bluntly, which woman wouldn't want to live like Su Lingwu? It's just that circumstances don't allow it.

"What are you all doing gathered here?"

The political commissar's wife rushed over upon hearing the news.

"You must be Lin Chuan's wife. I'm Yu Chunhua, Political Commissar Liu's wife. You can just call me Sister Yu."

When the political commissar's wife saw Fu Linchuan's wife, she was filled with amazement. No wonder this young man was in such a hurry to marry her; she was truly a celestial being.

Oh dear, the family compound was already lively enough, and these things are going to make it even more chaotic.

Good-looking people naturally attract attention.

She had only just heard the news and didn't expect these people to be so idle as to provoke Fu Linchuan's wife.

She had heard about it yesterday; Fu Linchuan dotes on his wife and bought her a lot of furniture, which she didn't think was a big deal.

Young people like them have the means, what's wrong with buying a few pieces of furniture?

These people are just sour grapes.

The more this story spreads today, the more suspicious it seems.

I just didn't expect this girl to be so bold as to dare to stand up to me.

"Sister Yu, you've come at the right time! There's a bad person in our team who's trying to sow discord among us ordinary people. I just arrived, and someone's already labeling me as a capitalist's daughter. I beg the organization to thoroughly investigate this matter and clear my name, otherwise I won't be able to live with myself in the family compound!"

As she spoke, Su Lingwu squeezed out a few tears.

Yu Chunhua suppressed a laugh. This new bride was really not to be trifled with. Just a moment ago she was so fierce that she made people cry, but now she has changed her expression and looks pitiful.

Neither of them is a kind person.

"Whoever said that should step forward and apologize, and we'll let this matter go. Otherwise, the higher-ups will send people to investigate, which will affect your future as men. Don't blame me for not warning you!"

Sure enough, some people panicked after the political commissar's wife finished speaking.

"It's none of my business, I heard it from Aunt Ma."

"It has nothing to do with me, it was Lao Li who told me."

"It wasn't me, it was...it was Zhang Yanling!"

"She told me these things while we were chatting last night. They were her words, and have nothing to do with me!"

The truth has come to light; it really was Zhang Yanling who said it.

"I knew it! She's no good. What kind of person would someone who willingly crawls into a man's bed be?"

"It really is her. I even spoke up for her, how shameless! Bah!"

Seeing everyone condemning her, Zhang Yanling was terrified. "No...it wasn't me!"

"It's Ji Chunyan!"

"Yes, that's what she said. Otherwise, how would I know about this 'capitalist lady'?"

Su Lingwu frowned. Who is this?
