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

"Dad, I'm going to see Mom. I'll ask her to come over tomorrow."

"Go ahead, you should ask your mother to come over. Tomorrow is a big day for you, and it won't do without her."

Su Lingwu went to the Zhao family to see if they were still bullying her mother.

It's best to take advantage of her free time to resolve this, otherwise it won't be easy for her to come back after leaving with Fu Linchuan.

Du Lijuan wanted to say something, but Su Lingtang stopped her.

Why are you pulling me?

"Mom, don't make Dad angry. Once Su Lingwu and I get married and leave home, it will just be the three of you. Wouldn't it be nice to live a peaceful life? If you keep causing trouble, Dad might lose interest in you."

Xu Meili is Su Lingwu's biological mother. When someone calls their own mother over, no one can say anything about it.

Besides, she could tell from the last time the Du family came and made a scene that her father was somewhat angry with her mother.

Su Lingtang's eyes darkened. Su Lingwu was the other person's biological daughter. No matter how sensible she was, she was still an outsider with no blood relation.

"I just want to get married and leave, I'm so frustrated!"

Now, whenever Du Lijuan sees Su Lingwu, she is reminded of the unpleasant things that happened to her family.

Su Lingwu was unaware of the conversation between Du Lijuan and her daughter Su Lingtang, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Before we even arrived at the Zhao family's house, we could hear a commotion inside.

"I don't care, Dad, you have to find a way. Chunhong said she won't marry me if I don't have a job. Can you bear to watch your son stay a bachelor forever?"

"Mom, why did you leave so early? Open your eyes and look at your youngest son! Without you, I can't even get a wife. My dad doesn't care about me anymore!"

Zhao Yongjie's second son, Zhao Guodong, sat on the ground and started making a scene.

"Second brother, aren't you making things difficult for us? Where are we supposed to find a job for your wife?"

"Is this job so easy to get? If it were, I would have gotten one for your sister-in-law long ago. Why do you have to live such a tight life?"

"If you ask me, Wang Chunhong isn't sincere about marrying you. Her Wang family has a good plan. They don't want a dowry, they want a job. Is Wang Chunhong made of gold? How dare she ask for such an exorbitant amount?"

Zhao Guoliang, the eldest son of the Zhao family, naturally disagreed. Why should his second brother's wife be given a job? It's not that easy to arrange a job; it would cost at least 500 yuan.

They don't want a bride price, but they want a job. What, are they not going to buy wedding favors or host a dinner party? They'll have to pay extra for it later.

The second son is too cunning.

He's the eldest son in the family, and he didn't even spend this much money on his wedding. Why should his younger brother have to spend more?

"Brother, are you only happy if your own brother stays single for the rest of his life? I finally convinced Chunhong to marry me, and you're still making sarcastic remarks."

"Grandma, say something! Can you bear to see your grandson remain a bachelor?" Zhao Guodong ran over and hugged the old lady's leg.

"You child, get up! What kind of behavior is this? Let your father figure something out for you."

Grandma Zhao winked at her grandson.

Zhao Guodong understood what he meant and went to hug his father Zhao Yongjie's leg again, "Dad, you can't abandon me! If you don't, I... I'll just kill myself!"

"You brat, get up right now!"

"Second brother, you're too selfish. You can't just think of yourself. Our family doesn't have the money to find a job for your girlfriend. Besides, there's me too. I'm not married yet. You can't take my dowry money."

Zhao Nana knew perfectly well that her second brother was being cunning, trying to squeeze more benefits from the family for his own little family.

"Zhao Nana, aren't you ashamed? Besides, who would want to marry you these days? You might as well stay home and take care of the kids for the rest of your life."

"Zhao Guodong, how dare you say that to me!" Zhao Nana was so angry that she went up and started hitting her second brother.

"Ouch!"

"what!"

"Why are you biting me, you dog-like creature!"

The brother and sister got into a fight.

"Oh dear, what a terrible thing! You two little devils, stop it!" The old lady of the Zhao family stepped forward to stop her two grandsons and granddaughters.

"Are you all dead? Stop them! Don't you have any common sense?!"

While blocking them, he cursed under his breath.

Xu Meili stood aside and watched, showing no intention of going up.

He's not her son, so she doesn't care.

"Stop it, both of you!" Zhao Yongjie roared, and the brother and sister let go.

"This is all the family can offer. If the Wang family wants to marry you, fine; if not, forget it. You're not the only child in our family. We have so many people in our family. We can't let everyone tighten their belts and go hungry just because of you."

Zhao Yongjie was also worried. Everyone said that having children was wonderful, but it was also exhausting.

After finally getting the eldest son a wife, now the second son is getting married, and the bride-to-be also needs a job.

Next comes preparing the dowry for the daughter's wedding.

There was also a younger son behind him.

This large family, about ten people, doesn't even have enough room in their house.

If the second child gets married, he will also need his own space.

It's all just worries.

"Dad, so you're just going to abandon me and let me be a bachelor for the rest of my life!"

"Yongjie, if all else fails, let Meili step down and give up her job. That will solve the problem. We can't just watch our son go without a wife."

Grandma Zhao looked at her son and calmly offered her solution.

"Hmph, I knew it! They're putting on a big show for me!"

"I've come here for my job."

"I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"

"You Zhao family, you can figure out whatever you want. I don't care if you sell your blood, but don't even think about messing with my job."

Xu Meili's lips curled into an even colder expression; life was becoming more and more meaningless.

"How can it be none of your business!"

"You're also a member of the Zhao family. You only got your job because you married into our family. If it weren't for us, a divorced rural woman like you wouldn't be able to find a job in the city. Dream on!"

The old lady of the Zhao family always felt that it was thanks to the Zhao family that her daughter-in-law was able to find a job.

"Pah!"

"A woman marries a man for food and clothing. Why would I marry your son? If not for a city residency permit, do you expect me to suffer in your Zhao family?"

"If there were no benefits, who would want to marry into your Zhao family? I have elderly parents to care for and three young children to raise, each more difficult to serve than the last. I even gave birth to a son for your Zhao family. Does Zhao Yongjie think he can get away with this for free? Even if he goes out to find a widow for pleasure, he still has to pay her some money and supplies. I've been married into the Zhao family for ten years, and what have I gotten besides a job?"

"I can't even touch a penny of the family's money. It's a struggle to even eat meat. I've raised three ungrateful wretches who are now all turning against me. Do you think the Zhao family is some kind of paradise? If it weren't for the children, I would have left long ago."

"You want me to work? I'm telling you, no way!"

This job is the only thing Xu Meili can hold onto.

"Aunt Xu, look at what you're saying. This is all for your own good. It's so nice to stay home and enjoy life without having to work. There's not much heavy work to do around the house, just cooking and taking care of the kids. You can take a break and help us with the kids so I can go out and work when I have time. We appreciate your kindness. We'll take care of you when you get old."

"Sister-in-law, why are you meddling? Aunt Xu, why don't you give me your job? I'll definitely take care of you after I get married. How about I give you five yuan a month from my salary? You don't have to do anything, and you'll get money. Isn't that great!"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family and Zhao Guodong started arguing.

"My mom has me, she doesn't need you!"

"Don't even think about taking my mom's job!"
