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

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his hand trembled as he closed the car door.

Every step he took felt like walking on cotton; this was a level of tension Fu Linchuan had never experienced before.

Step by step, he finally stood before his beloved.

Every step felt so long, as if I had walked through two lifetimes before finally arriving in front of Su Lingwu.

Reach out.

Su Lingwu never expected that Fu Linchuan would be so nervous, and her red lips curved slightly into a smile.

Fu Linchuan's hands, due to frequent training, were a wheatish-brown color, with wide knuckles and palms covered with thin calluses, making them look exceptionally strong.

Su Lingwu's hands were slender and fair, exuding a woman's delicate charm.

Slender, fair fingers slightly curled up and rested on a large, strong hand.

Fu Linchuan subconsciously tightened his grip, enveloping his entire hand in his palm. The back of his hand was stained crimson from the force he exerted. He relaxed his grip, but the taut veins on the back of his hand betrayed the turmoil in his heart, conveying a sense of composure and restraint.

Everyone looked at the perfect couple with admiration and was happy for them.

Of course, there were also unhappy people. When Su Lingtang saw Su Lingwu's wedding banquet, his anger intensified.

Both were getting married, but she didn't even have a proper wedding banquet, while Su Lingwu had such a grand affair.

She knew she had no right to be jealous; after all, she wasn't the Su family's biological daughter, while the other family had their own mother to back them up.

But why can't her mother be like Xu Meili? She also wants a mother who unconditionally favors her.

Both women had daughters first, then remarried and had sons, but Xu Meili was able to love her daughter more than her son, while she...

I heard that Xu Meili took a special leave to come back and arrange her daughter's wedding. She bought eight catties of wedding candy alone. Everyone who attended received a red paper bag containing eight pieces of wedding candy. The whole village was saying that Xu Meili was really generous.

Every family in the village sent a representative, and those with good relationships sent two people. Receiving two candy packets meant getting sixteen candies, enough to make the children in the family happy for a while. The candies alone would almost break even, not to mention the many meat and dishes on the table. This was a generous gesture, so how could everyone not be happy?

Su Lingtang originally didn't want to come, but Gu Chenzhou said that since they were nominally sisters, it wouldn't look good if she didn't come.

Besides, the two families will meet again in the military in the future. If he gets promoted, he will be able to apply for family members to accompany him to the military. It is impossible for the two sisters to never see each other again.

Su Lingtang couldn't say it directly, because her relationship with Su Lingwu wasn't that good, and even if they met in the future, Su Lingwu might not pay any attention to her.

But she didn't want to leave Gu Chenzhou with such a cold-hearted impression, so she had no choice but to come and help, even though she didn't want to.

The moment Su Lingwu came out, Su Lingtang saw the amazement in Gu Chenzhou's eyes and bit her lower lip hard to suppress her anger.

Su Wu was dressed in his most presentable clothes, his face was radiant, and he was filled with joy.

"Dear fellow villagers, today is my daughter's wedding day. Although I am extremely reluctant to part with her, my daughter has grown up and must leave home to get married. I hope that the two of them can live in harmony, support each other, and spend their lives together!"

"Thank you all for your support over the years. On behalf of my family, I thank you all. We also appreciate your help and support. We've prepared a small feast; we hope you enjoy it!"

"good!"

A burst of applause rang out, one wave after another, eventually merging into a single sound.

The Su family's feast was anything but meager; meat and vegetables made up half the meal, and the cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and melon seeds were all of the highest quality. Everyone was in high spirits, even loosening their belts, just to eat as much as possible. The village hadn't been this happy and lively in a long time.

The main reason is that the Su family found a good son-in-law, which is why they were able to get so many good things. You can't eat this much at a banquet in an ordinary family.

Fu Linchuan and Su Lingwu toasted each table, and everyone joked around when they saw how approachable Fu Linchuan was.

"One cup brings good fortune, two cups bring prosperity; you must drink both cups clean, no cheating allowed!"

"Yes, a beautiful woman deserves a hero, and fine wine is perfect for a joyous occasion. The groom can't go back on his word!"

Fu Linchuan accepted all offers without hesitation.

Some bolder individuals wanted to get Su Lingwu to drink as well, but Fu Linchuan stopped them all.

After the round of toasts, Su Wu and Xu Meili told the two to return to the county town and not stay there, leaving the time for the newlyweds.

Su Lingwu's luggage had been packed long ago. Two large wicker trunks were found for her by Fu Linchuan, and all her belongings were inside. Su Lingwu also packed the dowry from her uncle's family and her maternal grandmother's side and took them with her.

The two got into the jeep. The driver, who had come with them, hadn't been drinking, but had eaten with them. Su Wu gave him a pack of cigarettes and a bag of candy.

The jeep drove away from the Linhe Brigade, a place with which they had a deep connection, even though they weren't particularly close.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Su Lingwu couldn't help but wonder if there would be another chance to come back.

I've actually grown somewhat nostalgic for the place I used to want to escape.

Fu Linchuan grasped Su Lingwu's hand, "We will have a chance to come back."

"Mm!" Su Lingwu nodded.

Su Wu and Xu Meili both had tears in their eyes when they saw their daughter and son-in-law leave in a car.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, my daughter is married and will be leaving their side to live her own life.

"Alright, our daughter's off to enjoy life, let's cheer up."

"What time is the child's train tomorrow? I'll go see him off."

Although the two are divorced, at this moment, the only one who can empathize with each other's feelings is the other.

"I heard from Rinchuan that the train time has been changed to the afternoon."

"That brat!"

After Su Wu realized what was going on, he wished he could catch up with the jeep that had driven away and make them come back.

Why did he regret it?

Fu Linchuan had no idea that his father-in-law was so regretful that he wished he could win the other man back.

The two arrived in the county town.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, one is greeted by bright red "double happiness" characters and various red paper-cut window decorations covering the courtyard.

Xu Meili had clearly put a lot of thought into the arrangement.

After putting her luggage in the room, Su Lingwu saw brand-new bedding, as well as towels, toothpaste, toothbrush, cups, a mirror, and a wooden comb, just like in a new house.

Before Su Lingwu could finish feeling touched, a wall of scalding flesh pressed against her back.

His breath, slightly tipsy with alcohol, gradually drew closer to my ear.

Her fair earlobes flushed a rosy red.

"Wife, you still haven't answered my question from before."

"Wha...what's the problem?"
