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

"Su Lingwu, are you going to take the college entrance exam?"

Everyone stopped to see what the two sisters would say next. After all, the complicated relationship between this family had been the subject of much gossip in the residential compound for quite some time.

Last time, Du Lijuan made a scene and even invited Su Lingwu's biological father and grandmother. Although it is unknown how an agreement was finally reached, Du Lijuan has been very well-behaved since then and has stopped causing trouble for Su Lingwu and Xu Meili. She has been quietly taking care of her daughter in her late pregnancy at her home.

This is their first meeting since the last incident.

Everyone's eyes were bright as they looked at Su Lingwu and Su Lingtang.

Du Lijuan wanted to say something, but then she remembered that Su Wu had told her not to cause trouble for Su Lingwu anymore, and he hadn't said that Su Lingtang couldn't talk to Su Lingwu. What was wrong with the sisters catching up?

She stood to one side, holding her child.

Gu Chenzhou looked at Su Lingtang, "Xiaotang, let's talk about it later, it's getting chilly."

Upon hearing Gu Chenzhou's words, Su Lingtang tightened her grip on the back of the bicycle, forcing a smile. "I was just showing concern for my sister."

Su Lingwu turned to look at Su Lingtang, as if she saw through her hypocrisy, and scoffed, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Can't I register?"

Su Lingtang slowly raised her lowered eyes and casually glanced at everyone. "There are conditions for registering for the exam, right? I feel like you don't quite meet the requirements. It says you have to be under 25 and unmarried. Although you're only 20, you're already married and have children, so you don't meet the registration requirements."

"Could you tell me how you signed up? I'm thinking of signing up too, so we can keep each other company."

Such a big event, celebrated nationwide, how could Su Lingtang not know?

Moreover, she was among the top students in her class, so she had a good chance of passing the college entrance examination.

Originally, she planned to leave the baby with her mother right after giving birth, so she could focus on studying and reviewing her lessons. The timing would be perfect, and she could take the exam right after her postpartum period.

However... the registration requirements completely blocked her.

All plans were thwarted by the registration requirements.

Regular applicants must be around 20 years old, not exceeding 25 years old, and unmarried.

When Su Lingtang heard that Su Lingwu had signed up, he naturally felt something was wrong; Su Lingwu must have gotten in through connections.

"Besides... I seem to remember that you used to fail your exams and always did poorly..."

As Su Lingtang spoke, she observed the reactions of everyone in the family compound. She didn't believe that everyone liked Su Lingwu; there must be people who were jealous and disliked her. If someone reported her, it had nothing to do with her.

Sure enough, after hearing what Su Lingtang said, everyone started discussing it.

"Oh dear, Dr. Su wasn't a good student before, so how did she become a doctor?"

"No way, traditional Chinese medicine is not easy to learn. If your grades are not good, how can you learn traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Is Deputy Battalion Commander Gu's wife lying? I don't think so."

"What Su Lingtang said makes sense. There are conditions for registering for the exam, and Su Lingwu doesn't meet them. So how did she manage to register?"

"Hey, keep your voice down. Commander Fu's family must have pulled some strings. For the Fu family, an exam registration form is just a matter of a word."

"We can't talk nonsense. Dr. Su has been good to us. You can't be so heartless."

Su Lingtang was secretly pleased to hear that her words had caused a stir among the people.

In Su Lingtang's view, Su Lingwu must have registered by taking advantage of the Fu family's power. As long as everyone knows about this, the higher-ups will definitely cancel her registration for the sake of their reputation.

She wasn't even qualified to register, so why could Su Lingwu?

When she was in school, her grades were far better than Su Lingwu's. But the fact that she was unmarried shattered her hopes and rejected her.

She also knew that even if she was eligible to register, a month or so wouldn't be enough time to review, and she might not be able to reach her best level.

But seeing that Su Lingwu had accomplished what she couldn't, she felt very resentful.

Especially seeing Gu Chenzhou looking longingly at Su Lingwu's three children with an envious expression, she thought that if Su Lingwu hadn't miscarried last time, she might have a son and a daughter by now.

She was filled with resentment; why wasn't this baby a son?

She could imagine how disappointed her mother-in-law would be if she found out she had given birth to a daughter.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to have her own mother come and take care of her during her postpartum period.

We need to plan for another baby next year.

"Oh, sister, I didn't mean anything by it, I just think you shouldn't waste your registration slot. You could give it to someone who needs it. After all, you already have such a good job and children at home, there's no need for you to take the college entrance exam."

Su Lingtang pretended to be a caring younger sister, but in reality, she was morally blackmailing Su Lingwu.

"Su Lingtang, do you know how disgusting your hypocrisy is? Don't pretend to be my sister. My mother only has one daughter, and besides, having a job doesn't conflict with my taking the college entrance exam. What kind of life I want is my own business, and outsiders have no right to interfere."

"Could it be that you failed to register yourself, and are now jealous because you heard I did?"

"Su Lingtang, are your eyes sieves?"

"Do you know that there is a type of person who is also qualified to take the college entrance examination? That is, someone with a special skill. I have a special skill in traditional Chinese medicine and practical experience. I don't have to be married or under thirty years old."

"So... I didn't take anyone else's advantage; I earned it through my own abilities. If you had the same qualifications, you could ask your superiors to make an exception for you!"

"If you don't, please shut up. Doing so will make you seem narrow-minded, unable to bear seeing others doing better than you, and thus trying to slander them."

After Su Lingwu finished speaking, Su Lingtang pursed her lower lip tightly; it was something she had overlooked.

"Oh my god, I knew it! How could something like this be faked? Scholars have been waiting for this for so many years, and the higher-ups won't allow anyone to do whatever they want."

"That's right, with Dr. Su's abilities, she'll definitely get into a good university."

"Keep it up, Dr. Su! Make our family compound proud and let them all see that our 19th Military Region also has capable people."

Upon hearing Su Lingwu's words, everyone immediately changed their tone.

Su Lingtang was unwilling to accept this. How could Su Lingwu be so lucky? She managed to find an opening.

"This time the time is very tight, only a little over a month, and your foundation is so weak, did you... know something beforehand, or did you know the scope of the exam, and you're so sure you can pass?"

After Su Lingtang finished speaking, Su Lingwu's eyes became sharp.

"Slap!" A slap landed on his face.
