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

"You...you're being completely unreasonable!"

"That's pocket money Xiao Wu'er gave me. Why should I give it to you? This money is for me to spend, just like if Xiao Tang gave you pocket money, I wouldn't touch a single penny. Why should I give it to you!"

Su Wu has become increasingly unable to tolerate Du Lijuan in the past two years. Why did he choose to find such a person in the first place? He knew that the Du family was all like that, but he thought Du Lijuan was quite pitiful and would be different.

But if the root is rotten, the fruit that grows won't be any better.

Now that conditions are better than in previous years, she has become increasingly outrageous, revealing her true nature.

"Su Wu, you're talking nonsense!"

"We're a perfectly legitimate married couple. If you won't give me your money, who else would you give it to? Do you expect me to give it to some other vixen?!"

Although Du Lijuan did not name names, her eyes were definitely looking in Xu Meili's direction.

"Hmph, with the two coins in your pockets, which vixen would even look at you? You overestimate yourself."

Xu Meili rolled her eyes at Du Lijuan.

Don't think she doesn't know; Du Lijuan is targeting her.

Just kidding, she wouldn't even look at their few coins.

Isn't it better to earn money yourself?

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone.

Her total monthly income now amounts to thirty or forty yuan.

Her family sent her 15 yuan every month without fail, which was the money for her job. The rent for the house was 7.5 yuan a month, which was 90 yuan a year. In addition, her salary was 22 yuan a month, which was 44.5 yuan a month, and 534 yuan a year.

The biggest expense here was buying silver locks and bracelets for the three children. After the children were born, Xu Meili, as the maternal grandmother, naturally had to buy silver locks and bracelets for the triplets, which cost more than eighty yuan.

This is the only major expense.

There were no other expenses at her daughter and son-in-law's house. They wouldn't even let her spend money if she wanted to. Everything was prepared well in advance. Her daughter and son-in-law took care of all her needs, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Her in-laws would also buy her and Guoyao clothes from time to time. Xu Meili easily saved more than 500 yuan in one year.

This doesn't even include the five hundred her daughter gave her, plus the four hundred she had in her own hands. Xu Meili now has more than 1,500 yuan in her hands, something she never dared to dream of before, and she would never have coveted Su Wu's little bit of money.

"you……"

Xu Meili's attitude made Du Lijuan very jealous.

Yes, Xu Meili used to have a job in the city. Now, even though she and her daughter have joined the army, she can still find an easy and good job. I heard that Xu Meili works at the bathhouse in the family compound. She only works 15 or 16 days a month, working shifts with others. She only works for a little over three hours a day and can earn 22 yuan a month. She is so jealous of her.

Why can't she have such good fortune?

How lucky Xu Meili is to have such a good family background. Even though she remarried, her family didn't look down on her, and now her daughter is doing well.

I originally thought that Xu Meili's life would be very difficult after she came here, since she was making a living under her daughter and son-in-law and had a child to support. But I never expected that Xu Meili and her child would live such a comfortable life.

She had no worries about food and drink, her clothes were bright and fashionable, and they looked expensive. She was also wearing expensive leather shoes that she had never worn in her life. With such an easy job to support her, Du Lijuan really wanted to scratch Xu Meili's face.

"I don't care, just hand over the money!" Du Lijuan insisted on getting Su Wu's money back no matter what.

Su Lingwu crossed her arms and glared at Du Lijuan. "Dad, if you can't even keep this money, don't expect me to give it to you again!"

If you want to take the money she gave to Su Wu, you have to ask Su Lingwu if she's willing.

Su Wu is her father, and he treats her well, which is why she's willing to give him pocket money. Who does Du Lijuan think she is, trying to spend her money?

"Hehe, Xiao Wu'er, Dad has kept them all. I took the express train here this time, and your uncle bought the ticket for me. It cost quite a bit of money. I'm keeping the rest to buy cigarettes."

Su Wu was reluctant to hand over the money.

Now that he's experienced the joy of having money in his hands, it's impossible for him to hand it over.

During this period, he would secretly ask his older brother to buy him cigarettes, which the two brothers would share. If Uncle Su went to the county for a meeting, he would also ask his older brother to bring him a meat bun.

Du Lijuan was a real penny-pincher, only taking in money and never giving it out. She held onto her money and food tightly, never seeing a single piece of meat. If she couldn't even get enough to eat, how could she have the strength to work?

He didn't want to die too young; he hadn't had enough of his good life yet. His daughter was so successful; it would be such a pity if she died.

Besides, he knew that Su Lingwu held grudges. If he dared to give the money to Du Lijuan, he wouldn't get a penny next time.

"Su Wu!"

"Alright, stop wailing. What man doesn't keep some money on hand? If you hold onto your money so tightly, your second brother won't be able to buy whatever he wants. Don't blame him for not giving it to you."

Old Mrs. Su was shrewd and experienced. After listening to everyone, she roughly understood what was going on.

Su Lingwu gave her son money, but he didn't tell Du Lijuan and secretly kept it for himself.

Du Lijuan came over here to cause trouble for Su Lingwu, saying that Du Lijuan was unfilial to her own father. Su Lingwu then told her about giving money to Su Wu to prove that she was filial.

When Du Lijuan found out, she was furious. Seeing how rich Su Lingwu was now, she hatched a plan to get her to come and keep Su Lingwu in check, hoping to squeeze some money out of her so she could save for her son.

It was also a moment of impulse on her part. She easily lost control when she heard anything about Xu Meili and was taken advantage of by Du Lijuan.

Beneath the old woman's drooping eyelids gleamed a sharp light.

"mom?"

"you……"

Du Lijuan didn't expect that Old Mrs. Su would side with Su Lingwu. Wasn't she the one who hated this mother and daughter the most?

Little did Du Lijuan know that although Grandma Su loved her grandson very much, she loved her son Su Wu the most.

Since her son had already benefited from Su Lingwu, what was there for her to make a fuss about? If she continued to make a fuss, what if that brat Su Lingwu stopped giving her son money in the future?

This would be a losing proposition.

If the son is doing well, the grandson will naturally be doing well too.

Grandma Su loves her grandson, but she won't let him surpass her son.

"Grandma, why didn't you give us a heads-up before you came over so our grandson could pick you up?" Su Xiangnan rushed over as soon as he heard what had happened at the family compound.

"southward!"

"Grandma, come on, I specially asked my superiors for leave. Your grandson will take you to eat something delicious, and then I'll take you to your family visit room to rest. Our military region has special rooms prepared for family members who come from afar to visit relatives. Grandma has come all this way, so your grandson will take you to have a good time for two days before you leave."

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Zicheng are together."

Knowing that his younger sister and grandmother didn't get along, Su Xiangnan quickly took the old lady and her entourage away.

"Well, Xiang Nan, I'll leave your grandma to you. I'll talk to your little sister for a bit first, then I'll come find you at the visiting room later."

"Son, you can go with either your grandma or your mom!"

Su Wu knew that if he wanted to visit his daughter's family to see his grandson, it was better not to bring his son.

Grandma Su knew that her son wanted to see his three grandchildren, and she also knew that Su Lingwu didn't like her, so she didn't join in the fun to avoid being disliked.

"Take care of your own affairs and find your own daughter."

Grandma Su glanced at Du Lijuan, then followed her grandson Su Xiangnan away.

Du Lijuan held Su Zicheng's hand, her gaze seemingly piercing through Su Wu's back.

Su Wu rubbed his hands together. "Um... Xiao Wu'er, Dad has come all this way, let me see my granddaughter."

Su Wu had always been concerned about his three children, but he never expected things to turn out this way.

Seeing Du Lijuan's ashen face, Su Lingwu smiled and said, "Dad, come in."
