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

Fu Linchuan secretly sized up Gu Chenzhou.

A faint smile played on her lips, but it didn't reach her eyes.

She is not as tall as him.

His position is not as high as his.

My salary isn't as high as his.

Her family background wasn't as good as his.

In terms of looks... the two are not the same type, but he definitely won't lose.

He couldn't help but frown. Could it be... that Su Lingwu likes this kind of thing?

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Fu Linchuan's mind.

"Commander Fu, I've long admired your name. I never imagined we'd have such a connection. Let me toast you."

Gu Chenzhou never expected that Su Lingwu would end up with Fu Linchuan.

The two were destined to meet but not to stay together.

In fact, the scales in his heart had already tipped towards Su Lingwu. Although Su Lingwu was not as virtuous and capable as Su Lingtang, she was really beautiful. What man wouldn't be moved by her and want to marry her?

However, his family situation forced him to carefully weigh the options before making a decision. He naturally wanted to choose a wife he liked at first sight, but his mother would not agree. Moreover, given Su Lingwu's personality, he estimated that she would not get along well with his mother.

Unexpectedly, this hesitation caused the two to miss their chance.

Fu Linchuan gave Gu Chenzhou a meaningful look. "Yes, it's a small world. When fate comes, you can't stop it."

"Company Commander Gu, congratulations on your marriage, may you live a long and happy life together."

He offered a word of blessing, raised his glass, and downed it in one gulp.

Upon hearing Fu Linchuan's words, Gu Chenzhou's eyes darkened, his smile faded, and he downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Turning to look at Su Lingwu beside him, the intense and complex emotions in his eyes made Fu Linchuan's gaze grow even colder.

Su Lingwu ignored Gu Chenzhou and focused on eating the food that Fu Linchuan had put on her plate.

Gu Chenzhou turned his wine glass around and looked at Su Xiangdong and Su Xiangbei. "Brother Xiangdong, Brother Xiangbei, I'd like to toast you both. It's a pity that Brother Xiangnan isn't here, but I'll definitely make it up to him next time."

Su Xiangnan's injuries haven't healed yet, so he can't lift heavy objects or drink alcohol, and he's staying home to recover.

"Congratulations, Chenzhou! I never expected that we would become relatives. Linchuan, Xiangnan, and you are all soldiers. What a coincidence! We'll definitely have many more opportunities to drink together in the future." Su Xiangdong and Su Xiangbei also raised their glasses.

The group drank all the wine in their glasses.

"Chenzhou, don't drink so much. There are still so many relatives to toast later." Su Lingtang was a little worried about Gu Chenzhou, who had already drunk so many cups.

"Thump!"

Just then, the old man at the next table suddenly collapsed to the ground, and the courtyard instantly descended into chaos.

"Grandpa, what's wrong, Grandpa?"

"Oh dear, she's barely breathing, and I can't feel her pulse... what should I do?!"

The people at the old man's table all changed their expressions.

This was supposed to be a wonderful day, but what if the old man passes away? What will become of us? Wouldn't a joyous occasion turn into a funeral?

Mother Gu was extremely anxious. Today was her son's big day! Why did the old man have to die now of all times? Wasn't this just adding to the chaos?

Su Lingtang's expression also changed, and she gripped Gu Chenzhou's arm tightly.

Gu Chenzhou released Su Lingtang's hand and ran to the old man.

"Grandpa!"

"Wake up, Grandpa!"

This old man is Gu Chenzhou's grandfather's elder brother, and is considered one of the village's senior elders. Over the years, Gu's mother has been raising her three children alone, and it is thanks to her great-grandfather's protection that they have not been bullied.

I came here specifically to attend the wedding today, but I never expected this to happen.

"This looks like a stroke!"

"That doesn't seem like it. I remember that strokes usually affect only one side of the body, but his is different."

"Well...who knows? Maybe it's just heatstroke. Is there a doctor here who can help take a look?"

"Our brigade doesn't have a barefoot doctor. We'll have to go to the next brigade to find one, and by the time we get back, the person will probably be cold."

"Go away, don't talk nonsense. The old man is a lucky man, he might be fine."

"Everyone, lend a hand and help me get this person to the hospital," Gu Chenzhou called out to those around him for help.

"Don't touch him yet!"

Seeing that everyone was fiddling with the old man, Su Lingwu hurriedly stopped them.

"Have him lie flat on his back with his legs raised and his head turned to one side, otherwise he will choke and suffocate."

Su Lingwu calmly issued commands, her mind spontaneously conjuring up possible symptoms at this moment.

Gu Chenzhou glanced at Su Lingwu and, following her instructions, adjusted his great-grandfather's posture.

Everyone looked at Su Lingwu.

Originally, Su Lingwu didn't want to get involved, but as a doctor, she felt like a parent. Since she had chosen the path of traditional Chinese medicine, she couldn't treat human life as worthless and fail to offer help when she could save someone.

"you……"

"Let me take a look."

Su Lingwu stepped forward, took the old man's pulse, and examined his symptoms.

The patient's limbs are cold and limp, and their consciousness is scattered. They are covered in cold sweat and their hands and feet are icy cold. It is not that half of their body is unable to move.

This is a sudden collapse of vital energy leading to fainting, which is essentially shock. It is often caused by a collapse of blood supply to the brain and heart failure.

He took out silver needles from his bag and inserted them into several acupoints, including Renzhong, Baihui, Changqiang, and Mingmen.

"Su Lingwu, stop!"

"How could you just give someone acupuncture like that!"

"This is not the time for you to be reckless. If you don't get him to the hospital soon, can you afford the consequences if something happens to Grandpa?"

Su Lingtang thought Su Lingwu was crazy for trying to steal the spotlight at this time.

Even if you want to attract Gu Chenzhou's attention, you can't joke around with human lives.

She really thinks she's Hua Tuo reincarnated! She's only read a few lousy books, yet she dares to show off her limited skills in front of an expert.

"Yes, this girl is so young, how could she possibly be a doctor? Don't be ridiculous."

"Whose girl is this? She doesn't know her own strength. What if she delays the best time to save the old man?"

"It seems to be a relative of the bride. Didn't the new bride say that she's not a doctor at all?"

The courtyard immediately erupted in a flurry of chatter, quite noisy and chattering.

Fu Linchuan walked to Su Lingwu's side. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll take responsibility for whatever happens."

Fu Linchuan still had the confidence to back it up.

Although he didn't know how good his wife's medical skills were now, seeing Su Lingwu's confident demeanor, he inexplicably trusted her.

Su Lingwu looked at the crowd that was questioning her.

"I can't do it, you guys do it!"

"Come on, come and help them, I'll step aside."

Su Lingwu stood up to make room, and everyone looked at each other, took two steps back. They wouldn't dare to step forward.

"Now is the best time to save him. Who among you can treat him?"

"If you don't know, then shut up!"

"And are you planning to fly a plane? Can you get someone to the hospital in ten minutes?"

"The golden ten minutes are the most critical moment. If you miss them, you can't save him unless you fight against the King of Hell. If more than ten minutes have passed, the old man may never wake up again."

The courtyard was quiet; no one dared to utter a sound.

Gu Chenzhou stood up and looked at Su Lingwu, "I believe in you. No matter what the outcome, I won't blame you."

Su Lingwu ignored him and gently twirled the silver needle.

What's wrong with me?

"Why are you all standing?"

The old man finally woke up.

"Grandpa, don't move. You need to continue the acupuncture for another twenty minutes." Su Lingwu stepped forward to stop the old man from getting up.

"Grandpa, you're awake!" Gu Chenzhou came to the old man's side.

"Wow, she really saved him! This girl's got some skills!"

"I knew it! Those two needle pricks from that girl were so precise and ruthless, she didn't seem like a greenhorn at all. I didn't expect her to be so skilled."

Gu Chenzhou looked at Su Lingwu with surprise and delight; he hadn't expected Su Lingwu to know medicine.

"Thank you!"
