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

"Du Lijuan, haven't I made myself clear enough?"

"Why did you come looking for me again!"

Su Lingwu did not let Fu Linchuan come out; it was not appropriate for Fu Linchuan to handle this matter.

Du Lijuan is her stepmother. How she treats her is a matter between stepmother and stepdaughter. It's obvious that their relationship is not harmonious. What the people in the family compound say doesn't matter.

But it wouldn't be appropriate to have Fu Linchuan handle it.

After all, his military status makes him vulnerable to criticism.

"Su Lingwu, you've come at the perfect time! My son-in-law is injured. Do you have any medicine? Quickly, get me some; we're waiting to save him!"

Upon hearing that Su Lingwu possessed a medicine capable of curing her son-in-law Gu Chenzhou, Du Lijuan went directly to Su Lingwu's home to confront her.

She is, after all, Su Lingwu's stepmother. If Su Lingwu doesn't give her the medicine, what will people say about her?

At this time, everyone is very concerned about their reputation, especially since Su Lingwu is the wife of the regimental commander and is now a doctor. Treating the sick and saving lives is what she should do. Gu Chenzhou is injured, so what's wrong with her coming to ask for medicine?

Of course, she also had her own little scheme. It would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal. Staying in the hospital is so expensive; every extra day she stays means more money. If Su Lingwu had the medicine and it was effective, wouldn't she be able to be discharged sooner and save a lot of money? Her daughter wouldn't have to spend so much money.

Du Lijuan naturally had to make plans for her daughter, Su Lingtang.

"Du Lijuan, you drank too much at noon, didn't you? Your son-in-law is injured, go find a doctor at the hospital, why are you bothering my daughter!"

Xu Meili was so angry at Du Lijuan's shamelessness that she laughed.

How dare she come over and beg her daughter for medicine?

My daughter doesn't have any cheap medicine; each one cost a lot of money to get. Du Lijuan is shameless; she just wants to ask for it for free.

"Why wouldn't I ask her? She's a doctor; treating patients and saving lives is her duty. She has medicine. Besides, is Xiaotang's man an outsider? He's her brother-in-law. Her brother-in-law is injured; shouldn't she offer some support? Otherwise, what will the people in the family compound think of her?"

"He's a doctor himself, yet he won't even give his brother-in-law his medicine. How heartless and ungrateful!"

Anyway, Du Lijuan thought she wouldn't lose out either way. It would be better if she gave her the medicine, but even if she didn't, it would still damage Su Lingwu's reputation. She was furious about what happened that morning, and this was a good opportunity to teach Su Lingwu a lesson.

People hadn't had enough of the original drama yet, and now there's a new spectacle to watch. Everyone's even skipping meals to come out and see what's going on.

Even more interestingly, some people would come out with their rice bowls, eating and watching the spectacle at the same time, eating with great gusto even though there was nothing particularly good in their bowls.

"This Deputy Battalion Commander Gu's mother-in-law is really making quite a scene."

"Dr. Su is really having a lot of trouble with this family."

"That's not how it works. In the end, we're all family. Although Su Lingwu and Su Lingtang weren't born to the same parents, they still live under the same roof. Their parents remarried, so they're like sisters. How could we just stand by and watch if something happened?"

"Hey, whose side are you on? Don't you have eyes? This Dr. Su clearly doesn't get along with her stepmother and stepsister and doesn't want to associate with them. They're the ones who force themselves on her and try to take advantage of her."

"That's right! Dr. Su's medicine is so expensive, it's all top-quality stuff. Last time, when he treated Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, the medicine cost a full five hundred yuan, and the antidote pills were ten yuan each. This stepmother of hers just asks Dr. Su for such expensive medicine, isn't that bullying him!"

The residents of the family compound had a variety of opinions, as they all had different perspectives and ideas.

Su Lingwu snorted coldly, "Du Lijuan, do you have some misunderstanding about your own position?"

"Our relationship isn't close enough for me to give medicine to someone for free."

"It's true that I'm a doctor, but doctors need to make a living too. Do you know any doctor who gives out medicine for free? My medicine didn't come from the wind. If you really trust me and want me to prescribe medicine, then you can come to me this afternoon when I'm at work. It's my break time now, so I'm sorry I can't see you there."

Seeing that Su Lingwu had a heart of steel and didn't care about saving face at all, Du Lijuan directly refused her and plopped down on the ground. "Oh my god, as a doctor, you don't care about human relationships at all. Your own brother-in-law is injured and hospitalized, and you won't even give him medicine to treat him. You're really heartless!"

"Pah!"

"Du Lijuan, you shameless bastard! If I don't beat the shit out of you today, I'll change my name, Xu Meili, backwards!"

Xu Meili couldn't stand it anymore. This Du Lijuan, if she wasn't taught a lesson today, she would get too cocky.

Xu Meili straddled Du Lijuan, who was sitting on the ground, and before Du Lijuan could react, she was pinned down and beaten.

"what!"

"Ouch!"

Thinking back to those years when her daughter was struggling to make a living under Du Lijuan's control, if it weren't for her daughter's own determination and Su Wu's conscience, he would have been bullied to death by Du Lijuan long ago. How dare such a thing bully her, Xu Meili's, daughter.

"Xu Meili, you unwanted secondhand goods, how dare you hit me!"

"Hmph, it's not like I'm unwanted. Plenty of people want to marry me. I dare to get divorced twice, do you, Du Lijuan, dare to?"

"You really think you're something just because you had a son? Look at your face in the mirror! You're the youngest, with those chubby eyes. People would believe you're my aunt. You have the nerve to compare yourself to me!"

Not to mention that Xu Meili looks ten years younger now thanks to her daughter's care, she was far more beautiful than Du Lijuan even before.

Du Lijuan poked at Xu Meili's wound, and Xu Meili naturally refused to back down.

"what!"

"Xu Meili, you vixen!"

Which woman doesn't care about her appearance? Seeing how beautiful Xu Meili is now, with her fair and tender face, fragrant body, and beautiful clothes, unlike herself, dressed in a drab gray, and now being told by Xu Meili that she looks like her aunt, which is like being a generation apart, Du Lijuan felt a tightness in her chest from anger.

"Mom, what are you doing? How can you bully people like this!"

Su Lingtang hadn't seen Du Lijuan return for a long time. Gu Chenzhou told her to go home and wait with her mother, and not to leave her at the hospital. Su Lingtang was heavily pregnant, and he was afraid something might happen to her.

Gu Chenzhou was very upset about the last contact tracing of the child, and naturally he didn't want any accidents to happen this time.

When Su Lingtang returned to the family compound, he found everyone gathered together to watch the excitement.

Hearing a familiar voice from the crowd, Su Lingtang realized that her mother and Su Lingwu's mother were fighting.

"Su Lingtang, your mother came to my house and acted as if she owned the place, demanding medicine and even swearing at me. Who's really bullying whom?"
