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

"Mom's fine, she just got a scratch, don't make a fuss." Xu Meili gave Su Lingwu a reproachful look.

The evasive look in her eyes made Su Lingwu realize that things weren't that simple; how could something be scratched like this?

When Xu Meili saw her son-in-law behind her daughter, she smiled, but accidentally pulled at the injury on her face, causing her to frown slightly for a moment before relaxing.

"Rinkawa is here too."

"Mom and Dad, this is Lin Chuan, your grandson-in-law!"

"Linchuan, come here, let me introduce you. This is your maternal grandparents, this is your eldest uncle and aunt, and this is your second uncle and aunt."

"This is your eldest cousin and his wife from your maternal uncle's family. This is your second brother, who is still single."

Xu Meili introduced each member of the Xu family to Fu Linchuan.

Hello, Grandma and Grandpa.

"Hello, eldest uncle and aunt, second uncle and aunt, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother. My name is Fu Linchuan. You can call me Linchuan or Xiaochuan."

Fu Linchuan could tell at a glance that the Xu family were all kind and gentle.

Fu Linchuan saw the little boy in his eldest sister-in-law's arms and teased him, "This must be my eldest brother's nephew, what's your name?"

"Little Bean." The child's voice was sweet and adorable.

The tenderness in Fu Linchuan's eyes was so deep it was almost overwhelming.

"Little Bean, this is your uncle-in-law." The eldest cousin's wife quickly told her son to greet him.

"Hello, Uncle."

"Good boy!" He touched the little face, clearly showing his fondness for children.

Fu Linchuan took out a five-yuan bill from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiaodouzi's pocket.

"Oh dear, that won't do!"

When the eldest sister-in-law saw that Fu Linchuan had given her son so much money, she quickly looked at the elders in the family.

"Sister-in-law, this is the first time I've met Xiaodouzi, and I didn't buy the child any gift. You can't refuse this money."

After giving the money, Fu Linchuan returned to Su Lingwu's side.

"Sister-in-law, take it. After all, he's Xiaodouzi's uncle."

"And these are all gifts for my maternal grandparents."

Su Lingwu brought the things over.

"You silly child, take these things back quickly. Your family will need them for a banquet in a few days. You've brought them all to us. What are we going to use for the banquet?"

When Grandma Xu saw the things her granddaughter had brought—cigarettes, alcohol, meat, and pastries—it was clear that these were the gifts Fu Linchuan had brought when he came to propose marriage yesterday.

"If it's not enough, I'll just buy more. These are all my things, so I can make the decisions."

"Oh, don't be so polite. I've already given some to my uncle. I know who's good to me, and this is all my way of showing my respect to you."

Grandma Xu tapped her granddaughter's forehead. "You!"

"Perfect timing! Let's use this meat to make dumplings. Eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law, go and scoop out three catties of flour. Today we'll make pork and cabbage dumplings."

The old lady spoke, and both daughters-in-law nodded happily in agreement.

These days, getting dumplings isn't easy.

We can only eat it for a short time during the Lunar New Year, and it's not even necessarily made with pure white flour.

"Boss, go kill a chicken."

"Pick the fattest one."

"Second brother, go buy two pieces of tofu."

"Old man, go and take the cured meat down from the beam."

"Come on, let's go inside." After giving instructions to everyone, the old lady pulled her granddaughter into the house.

"Grandma, you really don't love me anymore. I don't even get this kind of treatment when I come here. He killed a chicken and made dumplings on his first visit. He prepared so many delicious dishes. This is more lavish than the New Year."

Su Lingwu, with her eyes crinkled, clung to Old Madam Xu's arm and acted coquettishly.

"You little devil, when have I ever not made sure you ate well?"

Fu Linchuan knew that the Xu family was treating him so lavishly because they loved Su Lingwu so much that they also valued him, their grandson-in-law.

"My child, I can tell at a glance that you are a well-mannered child with good character. I am at ease entrusting my little Wu'er to you."

The old lady always had high standards. Seeing Fu Linchuan's upright demeanor and resolute eyes, she knew that this young man came from a good family and would surely be successful in the future.

"Grandma, Grandpa, please rest assured, I will definitely treat Lingwu well, I will love her, and I will not let her suffer any grievances."

"Good child." Grandma placed Fu Linchuan's hand in her granddaughter's hand, looking at the golden couple with satisfaction.

The Xu family was bustling with activity because of the arrival of the two.

The old lady personally prepared the filling, and the whole family gathered together to make dumplings; it was a lively and joyous occasion.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, but Su Lingwu kept worrying about the injury on her mother's face.

After finishing their meal and saying goodbye to the Xu family, Su Lingwu stopped Xu Meili, who wanted to go home.

"Mom, tell me the truth, how did you get this injury?"

"Yes, Mom, if there's anything you can't tell us, you should tell us when you've been wronged."

Fu Linchuan could naturally tell whether the injury on his mother-in-law's face was from a beating or a scratch.

I just didn't want to spoil the atmosphere at the Xu family's house.

Xu Meili knew her daughter's personality and was afraid that she would find out, but she didn't expect that she would still be found out.

"I'm fine. Your uncle and the others stood up for me."

The news that Xu Meili gave her daughter 500 yuan as dowry money got out. When the old lady of the Zhao family found out, she said that Xu Meili was siding with outsiders and was so angry that she beat and scolded her.

Of course, she didn't hear anything and started arguing with Old Mrs. Zhao. Old Mrs. Zhao also twisted her back and was lying at home.

When the two older brothers found out, they beat Zhao Yongjie to avenge their sister.

Xu Meili also moved out to rent a house with her son Zhao Guoyao. This time she went back to her parents' home to let them know, but she didn't expect her daughter to come with her son-in-law.

"It's the Zhao family again! I'll teach them a lesson!"

Su Lingwu rolled up her sleeves, ready to settle accounts with the Zhao family.

"Lingwu!" Fu Linchuan pulled her back.

"Why are you stopping me? The Zhao family is bullying my mother!"
