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

"Then we can't let Lingwu suffer. Let's pick a happy day so that everyone can get to know our Fu family's granddaughter-in-law."

If it weren't for the fact that now is not the right time, Grandma Fu would have wanted to hold a grand celebration.

"By the way, grandson, how long will you be staying this time?"

When Fu Linchuan filed for marriage registration, he also requested marriage leave and family visit leave. He hadn't had a break in many years, so he took the time to do both at the same time and wanted to spend more time with his family.

"The political commissar granted me a two-month leave. I stayed there for almost a month, and I have one more month to go before I have to return to my unit."

"Great, great! This is the first time my grandson has taken such a long leave in all these years of military service. It seems he's benefiting from his granddaughter-in-law's good fortune."

"You two stay home for a while, Grandma will cook you some delicious food."

Every year during the Lunar New Year, if she doesn't see her grandson around, Grandma Fu will grumble about her husband.

This is the only son in the family, and they insisted on sending him to the army, so it's difficult for him to even see his grandson.

Now that we have a granddaughter-in-law, all that's missing is a great-grandson.

"We don't have much time left, so let's get started on the arrangements." The old lady perked up immediately when she mentioned her grandson's wedding.

"Mom, I'm here. You just need to keep an eye on the big picture. Please review the details when the time comes, and I'll handle the rest." Shen Zhiyu couldn't let her mother-in-law suffer.

"Then I'll have to trouble Grandma and Mom."

Having finally appeased his family, Fu Linchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, we won't mistreat your wife, don't worry."

"Didn't you ask me for your bankbook? Come upstairs with me and get it. It's all your money anyway, you can do whatever you want with it. I don't care."

Shen Zhiyu also knew that Xiao Chuan was in the wrong first in this matter.

Regardless of the other party's family background, she couldn't keep a stern face just because they had saved Xiao Chuan; otherwise, she would only push her son further away.

"Alright, it's nothing now. You three sisters should all go home. You're all quite busy with work."

The three Fu sisters exchanged glances and smiled.

"Mom, your son is back, and your worries have been resolved. You don't need us anymore, right?"

"Yes, Mom, are you kicking us out already? Are you afraid we'll bully your daughter-in-law?"

"You don't want to go back early? That's what I meant. I was worried the kids would look for you. Go back if you want, there are rooms for you at home anyway."

Shen Zhiyu knew that her daughters were teasing her, after all, it was she who had called her three daughters back.

"Oh dear, now that you have a daughter-in-law, we're superfluous. We won't disturb your family bliss any longer, we're leaving!"

The three sisters left together, smiling.

Fu Linchuan followed his parents upstairs to their room to retrieve the passbook.

It was money that Fu Linchuan had saved up since he was a child. It included New Year's red envelopes from his family, rewards for good behavior, and money given to him privately by his grandparents. In short, Fu Linchuan had never been wronged when it came to money.

He doesn't care much about these things, and his expenses are not high. He doesn't even have enough money to spend his salary. Shen Zhiyu usually helps him manage it.

"Here it is. I've deposited it all into a savings account for you. It's a total of 30,000 yuan. The interest for this year has already been settled. The interest rate is 3.26%, and the total interest is 978 yuan. The total amount in the savings account is 30,978 yuan."

After saying that, he handed the passbook to his son.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't sad; women are inherently emotional, and Shen Zhiyu felt that her son didn't trust her.

"Mom, thank you for all these years of hard work."

He picked up the passbook and left.

When Fu Chengyan saw that his wife's eyes were red, he sighed and stepped forward to hug her.

"Wife, children will eventually get married. Can he stay a bachelor for the rest of his life?"

"Once you have a wife, she'll naturally manage all these things, just like we did. When we got married, I handed all the money over to you."

Shen Zhiyu thought about it and realized that it made sense. Her mother-in-law probably felt the same way she did back then. It was indeed the cycle of karma, and no one could escape it.

I suddenly understood.

Fu Linchuan took the passbook back to his room and saw Su Lingwu sitting at her desk reading a book. He couldn't help but show his joy.

He had never imagined that one day there would be someone who would be happy just by seeing her.

He bent down and pulled her into his arms. "I've already told my family about us. I was the one who bullied you, honey, I'm so sorry!"

"It's all in the past now. Back then, I..."

Su Lingwu thought to herself, if Fu Linchuan hadn't appeared, she might really have died.

After all, the original owner of the book is truly gone.

Both of them were under the influence of drugs at the time, and they were each other's antidote.

If the two had not met, Su Lingwu would have died, and Fu Linchuan would have lost his fertility.

She believes that all encounters are preordained by fate.

"Wait, why were you at the old house back then?"

Fu Linchuan hadn't thought about this issue in detail; his attention was all on the Ma family.

Upon hearing this, Fu Linchuan suddenly recalled their first time together, and his wife's state at the time was definitely not right.

When faced with this situation, the most normal person wouldn't...

Su Lingwu lowered her head guiltily, "Ahem, at that time... I was also drugged."

Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway, so it's better to just say it directly to avoid Su Lingtang stirring things up again later.

"Because I didn't want Su Lingtang to compete with me for Gu Chenzhou, I drugged her. I didn't expect Su Lingtang to find out, and I ended up taking the drugs myself. So I hid in the old house, who knew you..."

She finished speaking in one breath, then covered her face, not wanting to expose her embarrassing predicament.

With his hands pulled apart, Fu Linchuan's calm eyes were brewing a storm as he looked down at Su Lingwu.

"You like Gu Chenzhou that much!"

Even for him...

The veins on the back of his hands bulged, the muscles in his neck were tense, and his thin lips were pursed into a thin line.

My heart is filled with jealousy.

"I didn't!"

I want to explain, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

She couldn't very well say, "That wasn't her; it was the original owner's fault, and she won't take the blame!"

But now she is Su Lingwu.

It's like mud dripping onto your crotch; you can't wash it clean and there's no way to explain it.

Su Lingwu pushed Fu Linchuan away, "I've already told you, I don't like him anymore."

"Everyone...everyone has a past!"

He stretched his neck to defend himself.

"Don't you have...?"

"No!"

Before Su Lingwu could finish speaking, Fu Linchuan interrupted her with absolute certainty.

"I have never loved any woman other than you."

Su Lingwu pursed her lips. "Are you bringing up old grievances with me now? Fine, since you care so much, I'll leave!"

After saying that, she stuffed the book in her hand into her suitcase, picked up her clothes, and went to the bathroom to change.

"Waaah..."

Fu Linchuan pulled the person back and directly shut the little mouth that had angered him.

He thought he didn't care anymore, but when he heard that Su Lingwu had done such a thing for Gu Chenzhou, he lost his mind.

Just how much must one love something to make it...?

His reason was consumed by jealousy; only by desperately possessing her could he feel that Su Lingwu belonged to him.

A single tear slid from the corner of her eye and fell onto Su Lingwu's lips.

Su Lingwu was stunned.

With her soft little hands, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I'm sorry, I..."

"You're not wrong. You liked him before I did. If I hadn't come along, maybe..."

Su Lingwu stood on tiptoe and covered Fu Linchuan's mouth, "There are no ifs."

"Being together is the best outcome."

With just a few casual words, Fu Linchuan's mood instantly brightened.

Su Lingwu took the initiative to kiss him...

The result was, naturally, that the two of them overslept the next day.

"Little sister, this new bride is really outrageous! What time is it? She's still not up!"

"Yes, Auntie, we've been sitting here for ages and haven't seen a trace of my sister-in-law."
