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

Xu Meili reacted quickly and grabbed the person back.

"You didn't give me a bath ticket."

"you……"

The person clearly hadn't expected Xu Meili to discover her, after all, she had tried this trick many times before.

When there are many people, follow behind the crowd, pretend to hand out tickets, make a fake movement, and then take the opportunity to slip the bath ticket inside.

After all, bath tickets were limited. Each family member was given four tickets, and any additional tickets had to be purchased separately at eight cents each.

There aren't enough bath tickets for people with large populations. For example, Fu Linchuan is a soldier and doesn't have to pay for bathing. Su Lingwu, as a family member, has four bath tickets. Xu Meili and Zhao Guoyao don't have any quotas and have to pay for their own.

"You...you must have bad eyesight, why didn't I give it to you!"

"You didn't give it to me, but I saw clearly who did. Don't think you can fool me. Are you taking advantage of me because I'm new?"

Xu Meili knew very well that since she had just arrived, many people would want to see her make a scene, or take advantage of her not knowing them to sneak in without paying.

This job was hard-won, and she didn't want anyone to have any leverage against her, lest her daughter and son-in-law suffer because of her.

"Xu Meili, stop being unreasonable!"

The woman blushed with embarrassment when she saw that everyone was looking at her.

"Am I being unreasonable?"

Xu Meili grabbed her hand and pulled out the bath tickets that she hadn't had time to put away. "Look everyone, what's this?"

"I'm new here and didn't want to offend anyone, but collecting bath tickets is my job. If everyone skips the ticket like you, how am I supposed to work? I can understand if someone forgets their ticket or loses it somewhere, but you can't treat me like an idiot."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Xu Meili's words, and they also knew that Xu Meili and her daughter Su Lingwu were not to be trifled with.

"You...you twice-divorced woman, what are you doing here? Who knows how you got this job!"

The woman was enraged by Xu Meili's words and immediately ignited Xu Meili's anger.

*Slap!* A slap landed across his face.

Whoosh!

Not satisfied with just slapping her, Xu Meili then splashed the water from her glass onto the woman's face.

"Your mouth is dirty, let me wash it for you!"

"I can tell you frankly and openly that I got this job entirely because of my daughter's hard work. The leaders said my daughter is a valuable asset to the military, and to alleviate her worries, they specially arranged this job for me. Anyone who has objections can raise them with the leaders, but you can't insult my people!"

"So what if I'm divorced?"

"Just because I've been divorced twice, does that make me inferior? Who gave you the right to categorize me into different classes? It's clearly written on my household registration that I come from a farming family. Later, I moved to the city, got a job there, and became a worker. I earned all of this through my own hard work. I don't think I'm any worse than anyone else."

"Let me tell you, I've been divorced twice, that's my business, it has nothing to do with you. I haven't eaten your rice or spent your money, so if you don't like it, just keep it to yourself!"

Xu Meili held her head high with pride. She didn't believe that being divorced twice meant her life was over.

On the contrary, she is now full of energy and feels that her future will be better. Getting out of the quagmire of marriage has made her clearer about what she wants.

"Well said!"

"Yes, how can we women make things difficult for other women? Why doesn't anyone talk about the many men who divorce and remarry?"

"That's right. If things were going well, there would be no need for divorce. Xu Meili is so beautiful, it must be the man's fault."

"That's right, otherwise Commander Fu wouldn't have been able to bring his mother-in-law over, and also his brother-in-law to take care of her together."

People are less resistant to Xu Meili now.

What they said is right. So what if she's divorced? She's not the only one who's been divorced. To be honest, many people admire her courage; they want to get divorced but don't dare to.

Many people are still driven by jealousy. A divorced woman is doing better than them, enjoying good food and drink, living a comfortable life with her daughter and son-in-law, and now even has a job. How can they feel at peace with that? Naturally, they have to say a few things to make themselves feel better.

However, as everyone knows, Su Lingwu is a doctor, and Fu Linchuan is not someone to be trifled with, so no one dares to offend them too much and can only talk about them behind their backs.

When the woman heard everyone siding with Xu Meili, she ran away. This was incredibly embarrassing for her.

Xu Meili's first night at work passed smoothly amidst a minor disturbance.

Two days later.

Guests arrived at our home.

"Battalion Commander Li, what's going on?"

"Commander Fu, Dr. Su, I'm so sorry to be here so late to thank you. Thank you so much, Dr. Su, for saving our family last time. We've already gone to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said our health indicators are very good. Luckily, Dr. Su used such good medicine to save us."

"It's just a small token of my appreciation; I hope you won't find it offensive."

Battalion Commander Li felt too ashamed to face Regiment Commander Fu and Doctor Su.

He had originally planned to come over the next day, but his mother refused to give him the money and tickets, saying that Su Lingwu had saved them voluntarily, and that she hadn't asked her to use such good medicine. She said she wouldn't take the money because Su Lingwu hadn't used ordinary, cheaper medicine.

Just kidding, a single pill costs ten dollars.

Battalion Commander Li said he wouldn't give money, but would buy some things to thank her, but Old Mrs. Li disagreed.

Finally, Li, the battalion commander, was forced to borrow money and tickets instead of searching for supplies. He even went to the county town with the logistics team to buy things and return.

I didn't dare take the things home when I got back, but left them at my neighbor's house. I came out specifically to retrieve them.

"I chose to save people without expecting anything in return. Take the things back and use them to help the two children recover."

Su Lingwu pushed the things back.

"No, Dr. Su, you're making me look bad. I really wanted to thank you, but I've left the things here and I'm leaving."

Fearing the goods would be returned, Battalion Commander Li quickly ran away.

"Huh?"

"Never mind, I'll keep it." He'll still have to deal with Battalion Commander Li in the future.

"Okay, whatever you say."

"They've bought quite a lot, but do you think Grandma Li would be willing to accept that?"

Su Lingwu looked at the items: four cans of food, two portions of pastries, two jin of meat, and a piece of fine cotton cloth. These items added up to more than ten yuan.

"That's their family's business." Fu Linchuan naturally guessed that these things were probably bought by bypassing Old Madam Li.

If Grandma Li knew that she had stopped him, and they had ended up spending even more money, I wonder what she would think!

She doesn't save where she should, and she wastes money where she shouldn't. She loses the big picture for small gains. That's exactly the kind of person Old Lady Li is.

Fu Linchuan and Su Lingwu exchanged a smile.

"Su Lingwu, come out here! You owe me a debt of gratitude! You've ruined my face with all the treatment you gave me!"
