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

"Zhang Yanling, what are you accusing me of? When did my sister ever say such a thing? Don't try to sow discord here!"

Commander Ji's wife was just watching the commotion when she was shocked to find that Zhang Yanling had actually splashed dirty water on her sister-in-law's head. If word got out, how would she ever get married again!

"I wasn't lying. Ji Chunyan told me exactly what she said. She saw me come out of Commander Fu's house and started chatting with me, asking about Commander Fu's wife. I said their house had so much beautiful furniture, and that Commander Fu's wife was really particular. Ji Chunyan said, 'Isn't this the behavior of a capitalist's daughter?' I... I just..."

Zhang Yanling also regretted it. She didn't expect things to escalate to such a serious level. She originally thought Su Lingwu wouldn't do anything, but she didn't expect her to dare to make such a big fuss.

Zhang Yanling also felt very wronged. When she first came to the family compound, everyone said a lot of bad things about her, and she silently endured all the harsh words they said. Why was Su Lingwu different?

At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Commander Ji's wife changed.

Oh, I see.

It must be that Ji Chunyan was jealous that Commander Fu married someone else, and she used Zhang Yanling to spread bad rumors.

Su Lingwu also looked at Commander Ji's wife, her gaze sweeping coldly over her. "I don't care who said those words, but from now on, I don't want to hear another one!"

"If I hear anyone talking about me behind my back with that capitalist's daughter again, I'll definitely report it to my boss. I'm fearless; anyone who's not afraid of losing face and affecting their family's work can go ahead and say whatever they want!"

Ji Chunyan, she remembered.

The political commissar's wife obviously hadn't expected Ji Chunyan's involvement. She'd have to have a serious talk with Lao Liu when she got back. That girl was going too far, knowing that Fu Linchuan was married, yet still causing trouble behind his back.

"Alright, I won't hold it against you this time. But I'll see if anyone talks nonsense again in the future. Just wait for your men to make a self-criticism. Don't worry about affecting your men's futures, then go ahead and say whatever you want."

"Xiao Su, I'm sorry, you've already suffered so much since we just arrived at the family compound."

"Sister-in-law, don't mention it. I'm new here, and it's normal for misunderstandings to arise since no one knows me yet. It'll be fine once it's cleared up."

"Oh, by the way, I just heard the loudspeaker calling your address. Are you going to the mailroom to pick up a package slip? I can go with you and show you around our residential compound. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Political Commissar Liu had originally asked her to take better care of Fu Linchuan's wife. The young girl was new to the area and unfamiliar with everything, and she was also much younger than Fu Linchuan.

"Thank you, Sister Yu." Su Lingwu could tell that the political commissar's wife was quite nice.

Perhaps because she often drinks the spiritual spring water, her five senses are more acute.

Just like with Commander Ji's wife, she could sense that she didn't like her.

"Xiao Su, don't be angry with Lin Chuan over this. That Ji Chunyan is a girl from the cultural troupe. Her older brother is the troupe leader, and her brother and sister-in-law originally intended to match them up, but Fu Lin Chuan didn't agree, so the matter was dropped. I didn't expect this girl..."

Yu Chunhua was afraid that Su Lingwu would get angry with Fu Linchuan when she got home, and it wasn't worth it for the couple to quarrel over an outsider.

"Sister Yu, don't worry, I won't quarrel with Fu Linchuan over such a small matter. Wouldn't that be exactly what he wanted?"

"Besides... I don't think I'm any worse than anyone else. I'm young and beautiful. It's Fu Linchuan's good fortune to marry me. Whatever outsiders say is just jealousy."

"Pfft!"

"You... no wonder Fu Linchuan was in such a hurry to marry you!"

Beautiful and clear-headed girls are rare. In all her life, she had never seen a girl so daring to praise herself like that.

Su Lingwu looked at Yu Chunhua with a smile.

"Sister Yu is also beautiful, with elegant and graceful features and a unique temperament."

Yu Chunhua shook his head with a smile. This girl, when she's sweet-talking, it's like she's coated in honey; when she's sharp-tongued, it's like she's been poisoned.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Yu Chunhua led Su Lingwu to the mailroom.

"Let me introduce you. This is Commander Fu's family member. She's here to pick up the package slip."

"Hey, sister-in-law...hello sister-in-law!" The two soldiers in the mailroom blushed when they saw Su Lingwu.

"Hello, please take care of me in the future. I may come back often and bother you."

Su Lingwu remembered that Grandma Fu said she would send her things every month from now on.

"No trouble at all, it's nothing, it's what we should do!"

Blushing, he handed the package slip to Su Lingwu.

The soldiers on guard duty in the neighboring gatehouse were also looking at Su Lingwu, mainly because they had heard everyone say that Commander Fu's wife was incredibly beautiful, like a fairy, and they all wanted to see what she looked like in person.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go, otherwise these kids won't be able to work."

Yu Chunhua pulled Su Lingwu back.

"Wife!" Fu Linchuan ran over, covered in sweat.

After having breakfast, Fu Linchuan went to the military base to report back to his superiors. However, the political commissar told him he would only be able to return to the unit tomorrow. After talking with him today, he was allowed to come back and check if there was anything missing at home so he could get it quickly.

When Fu Linchuan returned home, he heard the military wives chatting excitedly about what had happened that morning. Fearing that his wife had been wronged, he quickly went home.

When his mother-in-law said that his wife had gone to the mailroom to pick up the package slip, Fu Linchuan quickly followed. Seeing his wife's smiling face, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Fu Linchuan greeted the political commissar's wife first.

"Alright, now that you're back, I won't disturb you two any longer. I'll be going now." Yu Chunhua tactfully left.

"Why are you back?"

Su Lingwu thought Fu Linchuan had officially rejoined the team today.

"The political commissar told me to officially return to the unit tomorrow. Today I checked what the family was missing and got everything ready."

"Honey, here's the package slip. Give it to me, I'll go get it in a bit. See if there's anything we're missing at home, I'll go buy it."

"Forget it, buying furniture has already caused such a big commotion. If I buy anything else, I'll definitely be known as a spendthrift wife."

Su Lingwu originally wanted to buy a sewing machine so that it would be convenient to sew and mend if anything broke. Now that she was pregnant, she could make some clothes for the baby.

Fu Linchuan tenderly embraced Su Lingwu, saying, "Wife, I'm sorry. It's been tough on you and your mother by having to come with me to the army."

"No, it's not unfair. You've already given us such good conditions. It's not your fault. Actually, no matter where you go, there will be people who are jealous, especially since we've just arrived and don't know them well yet. People are naturally xenophobic. It will be better in the future. Just be careful during this period."

The main reason is that Su Lingwu's beauty is too outstanding. Wherever she goes, she will attract attention, especially in places with many women, where there will be a lot of gossip and conflicts.

Fu Linchuan was well aware of this. He knew that given his wife's situation, he had to climb the ranks as soon as possible and reach a position where he could safely protect her.

"Honey, you don't need to feel so wronged. Whatever you want to buy, we'll buy it. Your husband's money is all earned honestly and through hard work; who dares to say anything!"

That's human nature; when someone else easily obtains something you don't have, you become envious.

"Then... let's buy another sewing machine, I want to make clothes for the baby."

"Buy it, we absolutely have to buy it!"
