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

Why would I lie to you?

"What do you have that I would lie to? If you hadn't insisted on jumping around in front of me, I wouldn't have paid any attention to you."

Su Lingwu couldn't stand Du Lijuan's arrogant behavior in front of her.

Just stay quietly in your hometown. Even if you come to take care of Su Lingtang, there's no need to try to make your presence known to her.

Since you've provoked her, be prepared to get hurt.

They even want to label her as unfilial? Dream on!

Du Lijuan shook her head. She didn't believe it; she couldn't believe that Su Wu would hide such a big thing from her.

She gave birth to his only son, and everything in the house, the house, and the money will belong to her son Su Zicheng in the future. How could Su Wu not tell her?

Du Lijuan was always proud of the son she had given birth to for Su Wu. In her eyes, Su Wu valued her son the most.

If it weren't for her son, Su Wu would have died without anyone to break the basin, and would have been laughed at for the rest of his life. She was a great contributor to the Su family.

It must be that little bitch Su Lingwu deliberately trying to sow discord between her and Su Wu.

"Hmph, Su Lingwu, at least come up with a plausible reason. I'm his wife, do you think I wouldn't know if something's been added or removed from the house!"

The house was only so big; there was no way Su Wu could have hidden anything there.

Su Lingtang was also stunned by Su Lingwu's words, but after thinking about it, he thought, "Impossible, right?"

Su Lingtang also believed that her younger brother was the one Su Wu valued most. If Su Lingwu sent things home, how could she not keep some for her younger brother?

"Sister, how could you say this? I know you don't like me and Mom, but Mom has lived with Dad for ten years, and my younger brother is already ten years old. What will become of this family if you say things like this?"

"We're both married, but our younger brother is still small. Do you really want Mom and Dad to separate?"

Su Lingtang naturally did not want her mother and Su Wu to be separated.

This trip with the military happened to coincide with her pregnancy. She asked her own mother, Du Lijuan, to come and take care of her, but didn't ask her mother-in-law to come. She was afraid her mother-in-law would be furious if she came.

Ultimately, a mother-in-law will never think of you as much as your own mother.

Moreover, Su Lingwu was able to have her own mother come and take care of her, so why couldn't she? It's not a long-term arrangement, just a few months. She had also promised her mother that she would give her five yuan every month.

Although Du Lijuan would definitely choose her son over her daughter, she wasn't too bad to her; at least she didn't mistreat her, just less than her brother.

This is quite normal in rural areas. Not everyone is as lucky as Su Lingwu, who had such doting parents.

After waiting for so long, Gu Chenzhou was finally promoted to deputy battalion commander, and she and her child could now join him at the military base.

Su Lingtang was very happy and told her mother, Du Lijuan, about her situation. She needed someone to go and take care of her, but if her mother-in-law went, she would definitely bring her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and the whole family would be there to take care of her.

Du Lijuan also knew that her daughter was having a hard time in her husband's family. Her mother-in-law favored her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, and she was pregnant.

Moreover, her daughter said she would give her five yuan a month. Her daughter is almost seven months pregnant now. With five yuan a month, she can earn at least twenty yuan by the time her daughter finishes her postpartum confinement. Plus, food and lodging are included. She can come and enjoy a life of luxury.

If Xu Meili can do it, why can't Du Lijuan?

So Du Lijuan packed her bags and went with her daughter Su Lingtang to take care of her in the army, planning to return home after a few months.

The children are all grown up, and with Su Wu at home, there's no problem. She can earn an extra income.

You have to understand that in rural areas, it's considered good if a person can save 20 or 30 yuan a year. Even those with high work points can only save 40 or 50 yuan after deducting food rations.

By coming to her daughter's place, she can not only earn money but also save food for the family—a win-win situation.

The mother and daughter had high hopes when they arrived, but when they came to the military family compound, everyone was praising Su Lingwu, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

Just then, she ran into Su Lingwu. Du Lijuan wanted to stand up for herself and her daughter, but Su Lingwu didn't take her seriously at all.

I never expected that what I originally intended to use as an excuse to criticize Su Lingwu for being unfilial and disrespectful to her stepmother would turn into an even bigger joke.

Su Lingwu coldly glanced at Su Lingtang, "Su Lingtang, what are you pretending to be a good person for? Why didn't you say a word when your mother was slandering me!"

"I didn't originally intend to, but you guys are just so annoying!"

"I could mention that to Su Wu!"

"Oh, right, didn't you guys not believe it?"

"What a coincidence, I still have the money order I sent to Su Wu in my pocket. It's the receipt for the hundred yuan I sent him during the Chinese New Year. Take a look for yourself."

Su Lingwu took out the receipts she had placed in her spatial storage.

Du Lijuan snatched the receipt and saw that it indeed had the names of the remitter and the recipient, as well as the amount of money—a full one hundred yuan!

Du Lijuan clutched the receipt tightly, completely devastated.

Su Wu actually hid such a large sum of money from her!

This story begins when Su Lingwu gave birth to triplets. Fu Linchuan sent the news to his father-in-law, and Su Wu was very excited.

Su Wu was overjoyed to learn that his daughter had given birth to triplets. His daughter was truly remarkable; she had finally gained a foothold in her husband's family.

Su Wu wanted to ask Du Lijuan for some money to send some things to his three grandsons and granddaughters, and also wanted to have three silver locks made for the three children.

He's now a grandfather, and there's a saying here that when a daughter has a baby, the maternal grandparents should buy a silver lock or a silver bracelet for their granddaughter. If they're well-off, they buy both; if they're less well-off, they buy just one. The idea is that they're using the good fortune of an outsider to lock in their life and reduce misfortune and illness.

But Du Lijuan wouldn't allow it and wouldn't give Su Wu any money.

Su Wu was driven to desperation and wandered around the mountain every day. He actually found a piece of lightning-struck wood. He secretly went to his former father-in-law's family, the Xu family, and asked his two nephews to make it into a wooden tag for children to wear, a lightning-struck wood tag.

The two younger members of the Xu family were carpenters, and their skills were excellent, making them quite famous in the area. Su Wu didn't trust others about such matters, fearing that if word got out, he might be labeled as a superstitious person. Knowing that the Xu family was reliable, Su Wu secretly sought help from his former in-laws' nephew.

When Su Lingwu heard her grandmother recount how Su Wu made wooden plaques for the three children, she was both amused and exasperated.

But she appreciated the sentiment.

In fact, Xu Meili had already prepared silver bracelets and longevity locks for the three children.

While sending things to her uncle's family, Su Lingwu also sent some money and coupons to Su Wu, telling him to buy whatever he needed. There were a few cigarette coupons in the package, so that her uncle and Su Wu could buy cigarettes themselves. Naturally, she also sent some money to Su Wu. It was truly pitiful that her father had no money at all, and he couldn't even buy things for his grandson.

Unexpectedly, Du Lijuan tried to pressure her by accusing her of being disrespectful to her father, but she ended up being proven wrong.

"See? I have a great relationship with my father. You can put the label of 'unfilial' on someone else."

"Oh, right, you just said... as long as you're my dad's wife on his household registration, I have to acknowledge you as such, right?"

"Then... what if you weren't his wife?"

Upon hearing Su Lingwu's words, Du Lijuan felt a chill run down her spine. "You..."
