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

"I advise your family to be sensible and make Su Lingwu break off her engagement with her boyfriend as soon as possible. I begged my dad for a long time before he agreed to let her into the family."

"If you can get Su Lingwu to agree to marry me, I will give you a dowry of five hundred yuan. Consider this money as compensation for raising her, and you don't need to bring it back."

Since being rejected by Su Lingwu two days ago, Ma Juntao has been unable to sleep at night. This is the first time in all these years that someone has treated him like this.

This was novel to him and completely piqued his interest.

He must find a way to get married.

So he tried every means to find out, and finally found out about Su Lingwu.

He then led his men to propose marriage.

"This...this is probably not possible, Young Master Ma. Our family is of humble origin, and my daughter is of coarse character and not worthy of you."

Although Su Wu was terrified of the Ma family's power, he couldn't push his daughter into a fire pit.

If he agrees to this, not only will his conscience not allow it, but his daughter and ex-wife will not forgive him either.

Besides, let alone his daughter, even he wouldn't look at Ma Juntao's appearance. He was greasy-haired and thin, and looked like nothing special.

"Have you thought this through? What will happen to your family if you reject me?!"

"Don't think that just because your daughter is dating a soldier, you can disregard me. A local official is more powerful than a distant one, and distant water can't quench immediate thirst. Surely your Su family knows this?"

"Believe it or not, my dad can take down Captain Su with just one word."

Su Wu clenched his fists, his molars grinding together.

"Honey, let's agree. I think Comrade Ma is a good man, handsome and kind to Lingwu. He'll definitely treat her well in the future. It's a good deal to marry him."

Du Lijuan was scared; she feared that she and her family would be implicated.

Sacrificing Su Lingwu to save their whole family—it's a worthwhile deal no matter how you look at it!

"Since you think he's so good, then let's marry Su Lingtang off to him." Su Lingwu walked in.

"Su Lingwu, this is all your fault. Why are you pushing me out?"

Su Lingtang, who was originally inside the house, stormed out in anger upon hearing Su Lingwu's words.

"Xiao Wu'er, why are you back? Hurry up and leave!" Su Wu saw his daughter come in and quickly pushed her out.

"Wait!"

Ma Juntao caught up with her and stared at Su Lingwu's face, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Beautiful, so beautiful!

"You're not welcome here, get out!"

The disgust in Su Lingwu's eyes was almost overflowing. How could there be such an annoying person?

"Even when you're angry, you're so beautiful, I'm going to marry you!"

Ma Juntao became even more determined to marry Su Lingwu.

"Lingwu, just agree, otherwise your whole family will suffer because of you. Can you bear to see everyone in your family implicated? And your uncle, he loves you the most."

Su Lingwu's stepmother, Du Lijuan, persuaded her to agree to the marriage.

This way, we can get rid of this scourge and also receive a dowry of five hundred yuan.

Finally, I can recover some of my losses from Su Lingwu. All these years of raising her can't have been for nothing.

"If you want to agree, either you marry him yourself, or you marry your daughter to him. You have no right to make decisions for me."

"Su Lingwu, if you keep talking to my mother like that, don't blame me for turning against you!" Su Lingtang naturally protected her own mother, feeling that her mother had suffered too many grievances.

"Try turning one out and I'll see. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Su Lingwu sneered.

"Your mother's about to sell me, and you expect me to smile and be nice to her? Do you think I'm stupid, or is there something wrong with your head?!"

"You!" Su Lingtang stomped her feet in anger.

"Su Lingwu, you didn't lie to me about your boyfriend, did you? I've asked around, and I haven't heard of you ever having a boyfriend."

"My daughter is indeed engaged, but her fiancé has to go out. He said he'll be back in a few days to get the marriage certificate."

Su Wu just wanted to get rid of this troublesome ancestor as soon as possible.

"Ma Juntao, open your eyes and look carefully. This is money and coupons given to me by my girlfriend. They are all military coupons."

Su Lingwu took out the ticket that Fu Linchuan had given her.

Ma Juntao's expression changed immediately after reading it. "Is there really such a person?"

"No, you have a cousin who's also in the military. Who knows if you're just kidding me?" Ma Juntao had thoroughly investigated Su Lingwu's family background.

"My sister said he has a girlfriend, please leave!"

Captain Su arrived with his three sons, including Su Xiangnan, who was recovering from injuries.

"Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, third brother."

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Wu'er, your uncle is here. I'd like to see who dares to force my niece into marriage!"

"You...you're just a battalion commander, believe me or not, my dad will take you down!" Ma Juntao invoked his own father's name.

"I don't care. I'm already this old, what difference does it make whether I'm the brigade leader or not? But I'm definitely going to fight the Ma family to the death. I'm going to ask the Party Secretary if the Ma family is in charge of our Xiangyang Commune!"

Uncle Su was also furious with Ma Juntao.

"you!"

"Hmph, I'll be back!"

Ma Juntao thought to himself, "This time I have to get my old man to stand up for me. I don't believe that old geezer won't give me face."
