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

"How could there be a mistake? It was your food that caused the child to vomit and have diarrhea. Look at the state of the child you've caused, and you're still trying to deny it!"

Fang Hongying and Gao Yufen were making lunch at home when the children started feeling unwell shortly after returning from outside. At first, they went to the toilet frequently, and later they vomited violently, which terrified them.

What did the child eat to cause this?

Under interrogation, they learned that he had eaten some kind of cold noodles made by Commander Fu's wife. This was a scam, so he was immediately unhappy and brought his child over to settle the score.

If you dare to feed your child anything and everything, what will you do if they get sick?

Su Lingwu looked the children over and asked, "I'm asking you, I've never given you any food, so why do you say it was me who gave it to you?"

"Also, where did you go this morning, and what did you eat?"

These children must have accidentally ingested something.

"You still won't admit it? The child said his stomach hurt because he ate your cold noodles. Everyone in our compound knows you're always cooking at home; the aroma wafts everywhere. You can't deny it!"

"Yes, look at these kids, look at the mess they've made, how can we mothers feel good about it?"

Fang Hongying and Gao Yufen's families are neighbors. Although the adults sometimes bicker, the children often play together.

Today, all the children in the family were vomiting and had diarrhea, which terrified the couple.

"I understand how upset you mothers are when your children accidentally eat something, but that doesn't mean you can slander me like that."

"First, I did make liangpi (cold skin noodles), but I didn't give it to them. Second, I'm a pregnant woman and I ate liangpi without any problems, so why are they vomiting and having diarrhea? Or do you suspect that I deliberately drugged your children to harm them?"

Instead of coming here to settle scores with me, you should ask your own children what really happened.

It was obvious that the children weren't telling the truth.

Either the cold noodles came from the wrong source, or they were eaten with something else.

Fang Hongying and Gao Yufen exchanged a glance. If they said they didn't get any food, then where did the food come from?

Looking at her own children, she asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

The children were so frightened that they lowered their heads and huddled together.

He looks guilty at first glance.

"You're still not telling the truth? I think you didn't hit her hard enough!" Fang Hongying was so angry that she swung her hand and slapped her eldest daughter.

With a "smack!", the child's face swelled up.

"How do you look after your younger siblings? Are you telling the truth?!"

Fang Hongying's eldest daughter covered her face and cried, "It wasn't me, it was my brother... He saw Aunt Yu bringing home delicious food, and it smelled so good, so he led us over to steal some. I... I didn't eat any!"

The little girl pursed her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face. Why did her younger brother always hit her when he made a mistake?

Although she was tempted, she didn't eat a single bite.

"What?"

"You actually took your younger brother to steal food! You're absolutely lawless! He's just a kid and doesn't know any better, don't you?!"

Fang Hongying was both angry and ashamed when she heard her daughter's words. People who didn't know the situation would think that her family was so poor that they couldn't afford to eat, and that her child had actually gone to steal food.

It was especially embarrassing when Commander Fu's wife found out.

Enraged, he grabbed his eldest daughter and slapped her hard on the back several times.

"Waaah..."

The little girl was very thin; when a large hand slapped her frail back, it made a loud thud.

His thin body swayed precariously, as if he were about to collapse.

Su Lingwu couldn't help but think of herself as a child, her brows furrowed and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.

Grabbing Fang Hongying's wrist, he pulled the little girl out.

"Alright!"

"Why are you taking your anger out on the child? Show me!"

"Didn't you hear what the kids said? It was your youngest son who was greedy and wanted to steal food, and he even dragged others along. You don't punish the one who actually did something wrong, but you insist on punishing the one who didn't do anything wrong. Are you out of your mind?!"

If you can't bear to hit your son, you'll hit your daughter instead. This will make the son feel that he doesn't need to be punished for his mistakes, especially if he drags his older sister into it, so that someone else will take the punishment for him. He will only become more and more outrageous in the future because he has never been punished before.

It goes without saying that this has always been the case in her family, with the eldest daughter taking the punishment for the younger son.

All the benefits go to the sons, while the daughters have to bear so much suffering.

"She's the eldest, the big sister. She didn't set a good example, she didn't take good care of her younger brother, so why can't I hit her!"

Fang Hongying didn't think she had done anything wrong; she felt she deserved to be beaten for not taking good care of her younger brother.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"Does the boss deserve to be unlucky?!"

"Judging from your behavior, you clearly favor sons over daughters. Your son probably acts like the king of the house now. You always beat your eldest daughter. Do you think your son will respect his older sister or listen to her?"

"Can she control her younger brother?"

"You, as the mother, haven't even managed to discipline your son properly, yet you've outsourced the responsibility of raising him to your eldest daughter. You really know how to shirk your responsibilities!"

Su Lingwu was most annoyed by Fang Hongying's rhetoric because she had heard it too many times when she was a child.

What? You have to take good care of your younger brother, take care of your younger brother, and help your younger brother.

Whose son is it?

"you……"

Although Fang Hongying didn't quite understand what Su Lingwu meant, she knew that Su was mocking her for favoring boys over girls.

"I want to see if your daughter will be any better than mine!"

Su Lingwu rolled her eyes. "Better than you!"

"Alright, the truth is out. You can go back now. They stole the cold noodles I gave to Sister Yu. This has nothing to do with me. Besides, your eldest daughter didn't eat the cold noodles, but she still got diarrhea, which proves that there was nothing wrong with my cold noodles. Your accusations are unfounded!"

"Um... well, Commander Fu's wife, we're so sorry, we didn't expect things to turn out this way. You two come here and apologize to them!"

Gao Yufen was a little embarrassed, not expecting it to be a misunderstanding.

"You don't need to apologize to me. It's not like you stole anything from my house. Go apologize to Sister Yu instead."

"Ugh... I'm going to vomit!"

Before he could finish speaking, the children squatted in the corner and started vomiting again.

Their faces were deathly pale; their stomachs were empty, and they were vomiting bile.

"Snapped!"

Fang Hongying, in her exasperation, slapped her eldest daughter again. "Tell me, what else did you eat?"

"You're both useless! You can't even look after your own brother. If anything happens to him, I'll deal with you two!"

"I...we didn't eat much, we just saw some black tuna by the roadside and ate some."

There weren't many snacks available at that time, so when the children encountered black crickets by the roadside, they would pick some and eat them.

"Is there nothing else?"

"Think about it carefully!"

"Mother...I...I feel unwell." The children's faces grew increasingly pale.

Su Lingwu was speechless when she saw how uncomfortable the children looked. Shouldn't the first thing to do when children are uncomfortable be to take them to the hospital?

"Did you eat something green? Those are underripe and poisonous."

"It seems like we ate some. We each ate a handful of Tian Tian." The little girl answered Su Lingwu honestly, looking at Su Lingwu expectantly. Su Lingwu had just spoken up for her. She was so beautiful, like a fairy.

Seeing the children looking uncomfortable, he took out a pill, broke it into small pieces, and gave it to the children.

"What...what did you feed my son?"

Fang Hongying was startled when she saw Su Lingwu stuffing something smeared into the mouths of several children.

"Poison; if ingested, it will cause intestinal perforation and death upon contact with blood."

"you!"

They were all just kids; why should she argue with them? A single antidote was nothing to her.

"You're getting off easy. This is an antidote pill, it's very expensive. Alright, hurry up and go, you'll feel better after a rest at home."

Gao Yufen's eldest son tugged at her clothes, "Mom, my stomach doesn't seem to hurt anymore."

"real?"

Gao Yufen's gaze towards Su Lingwu immediately changed; she hadn't expected it to be so effective.

"What are you all doing gathered here?"

"Political...Political Commissar!"
