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

"My goodness! Dr. Su actually got the highest score in the whole province! She's really brought honor to our residential compound!"

"How come she's so smart? Not only is she beautiful, but she's also so good at studying and has such excellent medical skills. She and Commander Fu are a match made in heaven."

"It seems we still need to make sure the kids study; how can they amount to anything if they don't study?"

"Yes, I need to get my child's studies in order too. Maybe one day they'll have a breakthrough."

"That's right, we'll benefit from it too. Look, aren't those provincial leaders? They all came to tell Dr. Su the good news in person."

"There might even be a reward. What do you think we could give Dr. Su?"

Everyone saw so many people from the province, with gongs and drums, it was quite a grand affair.

Everyone was filled with envy, craning their necks to look into the yard.

I remember the last time there was such a big fuss was when the joint investigation team came and moved so many books out of Su Lingwu's house. In the end, the investigation found out that it was all nonsense.

This time they were proven wrong; Dr. Su is truly skilled.

After handing over her work at the hospital, Su Lingwu walked home and found that her doorstep was surrounded by a crowd.

Su Lingwu had already spoken with the military region leaders, asking them to hire some more traditional Chinese medicine doctors, as someone would need to take over if she left.

Su Lingwu organized all the medical records, including the prescriptions, to leave for the next doctor to use as a reference.

The military leaders knew that Su Lingwu was going to leave; they knew it from the moment she signed up for the exam. She couldn't stay here forever. However, they were happy for Su Lingwu, since she would be a college student in the future, which was a very honorable thing.

So they hired a slightly older traditional Chinese medicine doctor to temporarily replace Su Lingwu.

Su Lingwu has been handing over her work to the new traditional Chinese medicine doctor for the past few days.

Fortunately, the newly arrived traditional Chinese medicine doctor, although much older than Su Lingwu, knew that there were always people more capable than Su Lingwu. After hearing about Su Lingwu's deeds of healing and saving lives, he respected Su Lingwu even more and would ask her questions from time to time.

Su Lingwu didn't hide anything. Traditional Chinese medicine is a very special thing. There are different prescriptions for different people. One prescription may not be suitable for two people with the same disease. It needs to be modified according to the actual situation.

She also hopes that traditional Chinese medicine will improve and benefit the people.

With so many people across the country, her individual abilities are ultimately limited. To promote and develop traditional Chinese medicine, we must all unite as one.

"What happened now?"

"Oh dear, Dr. Su is back!"

"Everyone, quickly make way for Dr. Su so he can go in."

The crowd quickly dispersed, creating a path.

Su Lingwu also saw the crowd of people banging gongs and drums. Among them were some familiar faces; she had seen them in the joint investigation team last time—they were people from the provincial admissions office.

"What are you doing...?"

Could it be what she's thinking?

Su Lingwu suddenly became a little excited. Usually, only those who did well in the exam would have someone from the province come down to inform them of their results.

"Comrade Su, congratulations! All your hard work has paid off. You scored 389 points in this exam, making you the top scorer in our province."

"This is a reward from our county for you: fifty yuan in cash and twenty jin of national grain coupons."

"Comrade Su, this is a reward from our province for you: one hundred yuan in cash, ten feet of cloth coupons, thirty jin of national grain coupons, and ten industrial vouchers."

"Thank you, thank you all for coming all this way to share this good news. Let's go inside and have a cup of tea; it's too cold outside."

On such a cold day, Su Lingwu wanted to invite the person into the house.

"No, no, no, our mission is complete, we should be leaving now, we have other things to do. Congratulations again, Comrade Su."

No one dared to go inside. If someone found out and reported them, it wouldn't be a joke.

Xu Meili quickly brought out a large bag of candy from the house, saying, "My daughter did so well on the exam, everyone should share in the joy."

After saying that, he stuffed a bag of candy into the pockets of several people without giving them a chance to refuse. He distributed the candy not only to the people from the county and province, but also to the people in the family compound. He threw handfuls of candy down, and everyone scrambled for it, creating a lively scene.

The people who came were also very happy, looking at how capable the mother of the first place winner was.

"Alright, thank you. We'll share in the joy and won't bother you any longer. We should be going now."

Everyone left happily, clutching their candies.

The top scholar's family distributed candy to everyone; they didn't steal it, everyone got to eat some.

The residents of the family compound were also very happy, each of them eating candy with a sweet smile.

"Looks like studying really makes money. Look, Dr. Su did well on the exam. The county and province have given him money and coupons. That adds up to 150 yuan, plus 50 jin of national grain coupons, 10 feet of cloth coupons, and 10 industrial coupons."

Everyone was envious. One hundred and fifty yuan and fifty jin of national grain coupons! If you eat sparingly, fifty jin of grain is enough for an adult to eat for two months. Not to mention the one hundred and fifty yuan. Even in the family compound, the allowance here is much higher than that of workers. This amount of money is not small.

One hundred and fifty yuan is enough for an average person to live on for more than half a year.

"Mom, why is it so lively outside?"

Su Lingtang spent more than forty days in postpartum confinement. She wanted to recover her health and give birth to a son as soon as possible, so she had to take good care of her body.

Du Lijuan also knew that only if her daughter gave birth to a son would her son-in-law and mother-in-law be happy, and only then could her daughter's position in the family be stable.

During the time she was taking care of her daughter here, she naturally knew that her daughter hadn't completely won over her son-in-law yet, and was really too useless. Look at that little vixen Su Lingwu, who coaxed her husband and in-laws to spend money on her own mother and brother-in-law. Du Lijuan was so jealous.

"Hmph, you'd better not know, so you don't get angry."

"Mom, what's wrong? If you won't tell me, I'll go out and find out." Su Lingtang had a bad feeling.

"It's all because of that little vixen Su Lingwu. She got into university with a score of 389, and she's the top student in the province. Even the leaders from the county and the province came to congratulate her and gave her a lot of rewards."

"I heard that the county gave her fifty yuan and twenty jin of national grain coupons, and the province gave her one hundred yuan, thirty jin of national grain coupons, ten feet of cloth coupons and ten industrial coupons. She really got a good deal. By sheer luck, she got first place in the exam."

"If you had gotten married later and stayed home to study, you might have done better than her. You were a much better student than her back then. Su Lingwu only got there because everyone else didn't have time to study. But she started studying two years ago. Otherwise, she would have gotten first place. She would have been the tallest among the short."

Du Lijuan felt incredibly aggrieved; how come Su Lingwu got all the good things?

Su Lingtang was devastated by this news right after she finished her postpartum confinement period.

Du Lijuan may not know, but Su Lingtang certainly does; 389 points is no easy score.

If she were to take the exam, could she get such a high score?

The answer is obviously no, 200 points is already a lot, but Su Lingwu actually scored 389!
