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

"Little Wu'er, what brings you here?"

When Xu Meili saw her daughter arrive, the anger on her face disappeared, and she smiled and took her daughter's hand.

Hearing that the Ma family had fallen, Xu Meili finally breathed a sigh of relief and was so happy that she didn't sleep all night.

"Hmph, it's you again, you brat! It's none of your business to comment on the affairs of the Zhao family!"

When the old lady of the Zhao family saw that her daughter-in-law's daughter had come again, she rolled her eyes.

This is the girl. She suffered a great loss last time. Her son spent a lot of money buying things to please his wife's family and even gave Xu Meili fifty yuan before he could bring her back.

"Yes, since this is a matter for your Zhao family, why should my mother give up her job? Besides Zhao Guoyao, who else in the Zhao family is related to my mother by blood?"

"You guys are really shameless! You didn't think of my mother when good things were going to happen, but now she's sacrificed herself? Dream on! Your Zhao family can figure out what to do next!"

Given the Zhao family's character, if her mother lost her job, who knows how badly she would be bullied.

"Now that she has married into the Zhao family, everything she owns belongs to the Zhao family, including her job."

"If the second son can't get married, it's all your mother's fault. Who told her not to give up her job?"

"Women should stay at home, manage household chores, support their husbands, and raise their children. How can you be like your mother, only caring about herself and not others?"

The old lady of the Zhao family was not a reasonable person. She had long disliked Xu Meili, who only cared about her own housework and ignored everyone else.

The old lady was far from happy, thinking that Xu Meili would behave herself now that she had lost her job.

Now that her second grandson needs this job to get married, the old lady had this idea.

Xu Meili will lose her job, and then she'll be at Xu Meili's mercy.

What kind of behavior is it for a married woman to not devote all her attention to the Zhao family, but instead to her daughter outside the family and her own family?

"Pah!"

"What does your grandson's inability to find a wife have to do with my mother? It's his own fault for being incompetent. He even has to force his stepmother to give him a job to get married. What kind of man is he!"

"Is your entire Zhao family just freeloaders? Where did all the money you earned from working go?"

"Have they all sunk to the point where they can't get a wife if they don't bully their daughters-in-law or scheme against their stepmothers?"

"Uncle Zhao, I want to ask you, what do you mean by your mother and son trying to take my mother's job?"

As soon as Su Lingwu opened her mouth, she cursed the entire Zhao family.

Zhao Yongjie was sweating profusely from Su Lingwu's words.

"Of course I disagree, child. Don't worry, no one can take your mother's job away. Your mother earned her job through her own efforts and didn't spend a single penny of the Zhao family's money. No one should even think about taking her job."

Zhao Yongjie's words served two purposes: first, to warn his mother and two sons, and second, to tell Xu Meili that he would definitely not agree to this matter.

That's true. The Zhao family didn't have the money to buy Xu Meili a job at the time. It was Xu Meili who took it seriously, had a sweet tongue, and was resourceful. Luckily, the textile factory was recruiting that year, and she got the job.

"I don't care what ulterior motives the Zhao family has, keep them to yourself!"

"If you dare to bully my mother, I'll just take her with me when I get married."

Xu Meili was deeply moved by her daughter's words.

"Alright, let them discuss it themselves. Let's go outside and chat, mother and daughter." Xu Meili pulled her daughter out.

Let the Zhao family handle their own affairs; it has nothing to do with her anyway.

My heart is completely broken.

Xu Meili has been married into the Zhao family for ten years. When she married into the family, the oldest of her children was sixteen and the youngest was ten years old, the same age as Guoyao is now. She has never mistreated them.

Do the laundry, cook, clean the house, and arrange their lives.

She has a daughter herself, and putting herself in others' shoes, she hopes that others will treat her child well, and that it's a case of repaying kindness in kind.

But the child's grandmother was afraid that her relationship with the children would get better and better, so she tried to sow discord between them.

Now that they're older, they've become more independent and have all sorts of ulterior motives.

She also gave up on the idea of ​​family harmony, focusing only on her two children; the rest of the family was none of her concern.

"Sis, you're here!"

Su Lingwu bumped into Zhao Guoyao, who ran into the house.

Zhao Guoyao was particularly fond of Su Lingwu, and upon seeing his sister arrive, he immediately hugged Su Lingwu.

"You silly child, can't you watch where you're going? You almost bumped into your sister. And your clothes are so dirty, don't rub them on your sister." Xu Meili pulled her youngest son away.

That naughty boy is driving her crazy every day. There are always clothes to wash and patches to mend. She just wore them out for a little while and they're already dirty again.

She's nothing like my daughter when she was little, always so clean and tidy.

Zhao Nana got angry when she saw Zhao Guoyao trying to please Su Lingwu.

She's his sister, the one who always sides with outsiders.

"Whether she acknowledges you as her brother or not is another matter. Guoyao, don't try to force your way in. She's someone our Zhao family can't afford to offend now. If she gets angry and takes your mother away, you'll be a child without a mother."

Zhao Nana couldn't stand Su Lingwu's arrogant attitude. What was so great about her? She just found a good boyfriend.

Su Lingwu wouldn't tolerate Zhao Nana. Since she dared to sow discord between her and her brother, she should be prepared to bear the consequences.

He turned around and took two steps, then slapped Zhao Nana across the face. "Smack!"

"If you can't speak, just donate your mouth; at least you can do some good deeds."

"All he does is stir up trouble."

"You've only grown older all these years, but not smarter, have you?"

"you!"

"Su Lingwu, you still dare to hit me."

Zhao Nana covered her face, looking at Su Lingwu in disbelief. How dare she be so arrogant in her own home?

"Why wouldn't I dare hit you? Do I have to choose where to hit you?"

"What did you mean by what you just said? Zhao Guoyao is my brother. Don't gossip like that."

"If you have any grievances, take them out on me. In front of a ten-year-old child, you used his most cherished mother to hurt him and sow discord between him and his sister. Do you even have a human being?"

"Zhao Nana, let me tell you, my tolerance has its limits. You'd better watch your mouth when you speak to me!"

"I'm his older sister, you two don't even share the same surname!" Zhao Nana said angrily, covering her face.

"Then change your surname to Xu, like Mom's. Xu Guoyao sounds nice too!"

"From now on, I will support my mother and Guoyao. I won't need your Zhao family's help, so I won't have to put up with your Zhao family's mistreatment."

When Xu Meili heard her daughter's words, she raised an eyebrow. How come she hadn't thought of that? Her son could change his surname. Her daughter was really clever.

"You..." Zhao Nana opened her mouth wide in anger, but didn't know how to refute it.

"Dad, look at her!" Zhao Nana looked at her own father, Zhao Yongjie.

Zhao Yongjie didn't dare to say anything. He was a little afraid of this stepdaughter. Given how much Xu Meili valued this daughter, she might really change her youngest son's surname in a fit of anger.

"You...you never watch your mouth, you spout nonsense all day long, get inside right now!"

"Well... child, she's just being foolish, don't take it to heart."

"Guoyao, come here to Dad. Let your mom and sister talk to each other properly." Zhao Yongjie called his youngest son to his side.

"I don't want to! I haven't seen my sister in so long. I want to play with my sister!" Zhao Guoyao hugged Su Lingwu tightly and wouldn't let go.

Pretty and fragrant older sister is so nice, he doesn't want to be with Dad.

Mom said that his older sister was the person he was closest to.

"You've got good taste, kid. Here, you can have them all." Su Lingwu took out a tin can of cookies from her backpack. These were the kind of cookies that could only be bought with high-end pastry coupons.

"Wow, sis, this... you really gave them all to me?" Zhao Guoyao had never eaten such high-end cookies before.

"Why are you giving him such a precious thing? You should keep it and give it away." Xu Meili was very reluctant to part with it after seeing it.

"Mom, it's okay, give it to Guoyao. I still have some left, it was given to me by your son-in-law, I'll save it for you and Guoyao to eat together."

"Mom, I came here today to tell you that Fu Linchuan will be coming to propose marriage tomorrow and discuss the wedding banquet. You can come and meet your future son-in-law, and bring Guoyao along too."

"Guoyao, how about we go stay at Grandma's for a day? We can go to my sister's tomorrow, and your brother-in-law will be there too. There will definitely be lots of food."

"I want to go! I want to go!"

Zhao Guoyao jumped up with joy. There was delicious food and he could meet his future brother-in-law, so of course he had to go.

Zhao Yongjie stood there awkwardly, with his son and daughter-in-law ignoring him.

"Alright, I'll pack a decent set of clothes. Tonight, I'll take your younger brother to your maternal grandmother's to stay for the night, and we'll go meet my son-in-law tomorrow."

Xu Meili went inside and packed a set of clothes for herself and a set of unpatched clothes for her youngest son.

"Mom, you pack first, I'll take Guoyao to the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Sis, sis, can you buy me some candy?" Zhao Guoyao asked, circling around his sister while holding the tin box.

"We'll see how you do."

"I behaved very well. You are your dearest brother, and you are my only sister."

At such a young age, he already knows which powerful figure is the best to cling to.

Although Zhao Guoyao is only ten years old, he knows that his older brother and sister, who share the same surname as him, do not like him.

His two older brothers ignored him, treating him as if he didn't exist, and Zhao Nana always stole his snacks. They were not nice at all.

Grandma always spoke ill of his mother and bullied her.

Su Lingwu tightly pursed the corners of her mouth that were turning upwards. This kid has potential!
