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

Everyone was craning their necks to watch the spectacle when Old Mrs. Zhao barged in, dragging a man along with her.

"You... why are you here?" Xu Meili was very surprised to see Liu Jinghe coming over.

"I……"

"master!"

Seeing Liu Jinghe being tightly held by the old lady of the Zhao family, Su Lingwu quickly stepped forward and rescued him.

"Let him go!"

Although they had only met a few times, Liu Jinghe always taught her with his heart. He even helped her organize her knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, summarized the key points for her, and taught her the important Thirteen Needles of the Governing Vessel. In her heart, he was her master.

Before leaving, she asked Xu Meili to look after Liu Jinghe for her.

"Old lady, you're talking nonsense! Believe me or not, I'll sew your mouth shut so you can never speak again!"

Su Lingwu wished she could just give the old lady a needle and render her speechless.

"What else could it be but a lover, sneaking around outside like that!"

"She's a married woman, yet she has no self-control, surrounded by so many men. She's shameless!"

The old lady of the Zhao family disliked Xu Meili's appearance the most, as it had made her son disobey her.

Now she's flirting with one man after another.

Not only is she still entangled with her ex-husband, but now another man has come along, which has infuriated the old lady.

Zhao Yongjie looked at Xu Meili with suspicion in his eyes. Who was this man?

Although Liu Jinghe was down on his luck, a person's temperament cannot be lied about. Liu Jinghe had a refined and cultured air about him, and it was obvious that he was a cultured person. When did Xu Meili meet someone like this?

Su Lingwu immediately retorted.

"Grandma, bad breath is an illness; it needs treatment!"

"Some people's hearts are so dirty that everything they see is filthy. If that's the case, then last time I saw you chatting and laughing with two old men, were you hooking up with both of them?"

"You...you're talking nonsense!" The old lady was so angry that her face turned red when she saw the onlookers laughing at her.

"You know how to talk nonsense, so how come you just randomly label my mother?"

"According to your logic, from now on, we should have separate male and female work areas at work, and only men should be able to buy things from male sales clerks, and women from female sales clerks. How come there's a problem if men and women meet and get to know each other? I think you're the biggest problem!"

At this time, conduct was a big issue, and Su Lingwu naturally wouldn't let the old lady of the Zhao family throw this dirty water on her mother.

"Uncle Liu, what are you doing here?" Fu Linchuan looked at Liu Jinghe and winked, the implication in his eyes was very clear.

Liu Jinghe reacted quickly, "I wasn't feeling well today, so I came to the hospital for a check-up. I happened to see you and Lingwu from behind, so I followed to check on you. I didn't expect... to be misunderstood by this old lady."

She didn't say she came to see Xu Meili; she said she wasn't feeling well and went to see a doctor, but accidentally saw Fu Linchuan and Su Lingwu, so she came to check on them.

"This is my mentor. I often ask him questions. It's normal for him to come and visit me when he sees me in the hospital."

"Old Mrs. Zhao, don't think that just because you're old you can throw dirt on others. We haven't even settled the score yet about you taking my house, and you've come knocking on my door. Fine, then let's settle that properly!"

"Your whole family injured my mother and younger brother, and then took the opportunity to move into the house I bought, where you ransacked my food and belongings. Your Zhao family must compensate me for all of this."

Xu Meili looked at Old Madam Zhao and Zhao Yongjie with disgust. "Did you two ruin the room I saved for Xiaowu?"

The old lady felt guilty and didn't dare to look up. Zhao Guodong and his wife Wang Chunhong moved in. Everything inside was new, which made the two of them very happy.

"That's the new house I reserved for my daughter and son-in-law. Everything inside is brand new, and it was even locked. How dare you break in! That's outrageous!"

"Zhao Yongjie, this is your family! How dare you not divorce me? Your entire Zhao family is shameless!"

Xu Meili turned pale with anger.

"Mom, don't get angry with them. They have to restore all these things to their original state and give me a new set, otherwise... I'll make sure the Zhao family doesn't even have a single chopstick left to eat with!"

The new house was damaged, and Su Lingwu must make the Zhao family pay a heavy price. They must return what they were paid for.

The pressure emanating from Fu Linchuan was so intense that even Zhao Yongjie, a grown man, couldn't withstand it. "This... I don't know!"

"Mom, how could you do this!" Zhao Yongjie tugged at Old Lady Zhao's arm.

"So what? It's not broken after using it. Just wash it and it'll be fine!" the old lady muttered softly.

"Dad, when you get back, take your used toothbrush, socks, towels and such to Uncle Zhao. They like these kinds of things. Anyway, they can be washed and reused."

Su Lingwu looked coldly at the old lady of the Zhao family and Zhao Yongjie.

"Oh, no problem. If they like it, just give it to them. Oh, and I have an old quilt too. If your Uncle Zhao likes it, give it to him too."

Su Wu was also cunning; knowing his daughter's meaning, he still handed her the knife.

Thinking of that old quilt, it might be...

Nobody likes using things that someone they dislike has used, especially since these things are very personal. Zhao Yongjie's expression immediately changed.

"I'll pay for it, I'll replace them all with new ones."

"Meili, I was wrong. Please don't be angry. I'll make up for everything that was lost at home, as long as you don't divorce me."

Zhao Yongjie knew that if he didn't try to salvage the situation, Xu Meili would really leave him for good.

"Uncle Zhao, you've got it wrong. These are two different things. Compensation is compensation. Your Zhao family used my things and ate my food, so of course you have to compensate us. But this has nothing to do with your divorce from my mother."

"Just because you've paid compensation doesn't mean we don't need to get a divorce."

"Compensation is a must, and so is divorce!"

Seeing Su Lingwu's aggressive attitude, Zhao Yongjie clenched his fists. "Are you only happy if you break me up with your mother?!"

"Yes, on the day you get divorced, I will buy a string of 500 firecrackers to celebrate my mother's new life and her finally escaping from suffering. Do you think your Zhao family is such a wonderful place that people are reluctant to leave?"

"Uncle Zhao, I think you should go back and think it over carefully. You and your mother-in-law are destined to be apart. If you lose your jobs because of this, it won't be worth it. What do you think?"

Fu Linchuan made his move and immediately seized control of the Zhao family.

"You...you dare!" This won't do. The old lady's face immediately changed when she heard that her grandson's job was going to be affected.

Jobs are the lifeblood of the Zhao family. If they lose their jobs, what will this whole family eat?

Fu Linchuan gave a cold smirk. "There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do."

Zhao Yongjie looked at Xu Meili with resentment, "Meili, are you really this heartless?"

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Guoyao. He's still so..."

"I agree to your divorce." The voice, still childlike and immature, uttered these words with unusual calmness.

"Guoyao, you..."
