Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Old Man saw his sleepy-eyed granddaughter, smiled and waved her over, and had her greet everyone one by one. Sisi obediently called out to each person, and the Jin Family all wore broad smiles, ceaselessly praising Sisi for being sensible. Although the Jin Family was somewhat mentally prepared for Sisi’s beauty, seeing it in person today still startled them. Her outfit was indeed more stylish than even Miss Shanghai, more beautiful than the stars in the New Year paintings. What’s key was how much money did this outfit cost? Hearing that this girl named Sisi wasn’t even biologically related to the Tian Family, it showed how much they valued her even though she wasn’t their flesh and blood.

Jin Duofu’s family had lunch at the home of Grandpa Zhong Boqiang. Perhaps having heard something from his daughter, he was also greatly shocked and immensely relieved, feeling extremely grateful to Sisi for the life-saving favor she had done. Therefore, as soon as he had arranged some village tasks, he hurriedly brought Jin Duofu’s family over to Sisi’s house.

Old Man and Tian Bajin were puzzled by the Jin Man Yuan family’s elaborate visit and could not figure out the reason. Nonetheless, Old Man still showed warm hospitality and had Granny Zhao serve tea and snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts. After drinking the tea, Jin Man Yuan slightly squinted his eyes and sighed, "What excellent tea!" Jin Man Yuan, who had ventured to Shanghai at the age of fifteen with a machete, had his fair share of worldly experience to instantly recognize the extraordinary quality of the tea.

"Taste good, I will bring some back later. This tea is Mingqian Tea that your sister-in-law fried herself, freshly made. You are just in time," said Old Man. He himself didn’t like tea and preferred alcohol, yet every year just after the Grain Rain and before Qingming, Granny Zhao would go up the mountain to pick and roast the tea leaves herself. The yield wasn’t much, only about two or three kilograms, which she would send to their elder son in the army.

"Alright, then I won’t be shy, I really must thank your sister-in-law," Jin Man Yuan, who loved tea, smiled with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Granny Zhao, chuckling, hurried into the back room to pack the tea leaves. Having her own fried tea leaves praised by a guest made her particularly happy—mainly because her family members didn’t much care for tea, except her son in the army who would drink some. Each year, the tea she made often ended up being used to boil tea eggs, which always pained her heart. Now that someone finally appreciated her homemade tea, how could the old lady not be joyful?

"Brother Liu Jin, Bajin brother, our main purpose for visiting today is to express our thanks, to thank Sisi for saving our entire family!" After Jin Man Yuan exchanged a few pleasantries, he revealed the reason for their visit.

Upon hearing this, Sisi immediately sat bolt upright; she didn’t expect Jin Duofu’s family to be so bold to openly express their thanks for such a matter—weren’t they afraid of letting it slip? What Sisi didn’t know was that the Jins had also thought it through. If it were any other family, they might have pretended ignorance, but with the Tian Family, of course, they couldn’t do such a thing, primarily because they completely trusted that the Tian Family would never stab them in the back.

Old Man and Tian Bajin did not grasp Jin Man Yuan’s intention; however, they didn’t ask further and quietly waited for Jin Man Yuan to continue. When he quietly mentioned the incident that occurred yesterday and the words Taiwan came up, Tian Bajin was so frightened that he jumped up instantly, hurried to the door to check if anyone was around, and only then relaxed. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he returned to his seat and chided, "How could you become so muddled with age? You still dare to speak such words openly now, it’s fortunate that it’s in my big brother’s house. If it were somewhere else, do you not wish to live?"
