Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 523: Chapter 516: Tian Lili Has a Boyfriend

Sisi was overjoyed and agreed to return home after school vacation, while He Chengsi also said with a smile, "The teacher said there is no rush; he has already notified the relevant authorities, and the government won’t interfere too much. However, some of the benefits the Dan Yu Family offered must be shared with the government."

Sisi had never intended to gain benefits from the Dan Yu Family; from the beginning to the end, her only desire was revenge, so she agreed without hesitation.

Sisi had already spoken to He Xuewen over the phone after the incident occurred; knowing that the He Family’s nemesis had appeared, He Xuewen was more excited than anyone and wished he could personally take vengeance for his grandparents and father.

However, he also knew that this was a critical period, especially since the opponents were foreigners, and it was simply not possible for him to indulge in the straightforward revenge as depicted in novels, where one could just kill people on a whim.

Thus, after hearing Sisi’s plan, he agreed without a second thought, and as for the so-called benefits brought by Dan Yu Xinchang, He Xuewen didn’t care for them at all. Even if all were given to the government, what did it matter!

Soon, school was out for summer vacation, and Sisi would have a two-month holiday during which she planned to return to Capital City with Du Du to negotiate with that man Dan Yu Xinchang.

Tian Xinhua was worried about Sisi, and since he wasn’t very busy during this period, he made haste to wrap up the important matters he was handling. He passed on some of the less critical tasks to Old Xu, who, after several years of training, was fully capable of handling them on his own.

Before leaving, Sisi visited the Liu family and brought Liu Tielan a small jar of Qiong Wine. She discovered that Qiong Wine significantly aided Liu Tielan’s rehabilitation; with the wine’s help, Liu Tielan had kicked her drug habit and her health had greatly improved.

This positive change drove Zeng Hongbo to ecstatic madness. He had thought that Liu Tielan would be bedridden for life but had never imagined that this young woman would show such determination and willpower.

The pain from drug withdrawal was unbearable even for soldiers who had undergone special training, let alone for an ordinary girl like Liu Tielan.

Every time he saw Liu Tielan, tied up with hemp ropes and covered in bruises yet still persevering with clenched teeth, he was deeply moved and held great respect for this strong woman.

Sisi also noticed the interactions between Zeng Hongbo and Liu Tielan and was pleased to see their relationship progress.

She knew that Zeng Hongbo was still unmarried, without a fiancée or similar, with a clear family background, a bright future, and an upright style, and he seemed well-matched with the forthright, passionate, and simple-hearted Liu Tielan. In matters of the heart, as long as both parties are willing, things will naturally fall into place; there was no need for her to meddle.

In early July, after handing over work responsibilities to Du Changlin and Old Xu, Tian Xinhua returned to Capital City with his family.

Having an airplane was truly convenient; they were in Province S in the morning and back in Capital City by the afternoon, which left Granny Zhao utterly amazed.

They first went back to the Old Man’s house. Tian Shouhua and Tian Donghua, having heard that they were coming, had already thoroughly cleaned the house in advance.

Xu Qianwen and her daughter were also at home. Since graduating from college, Tian Lili had stayed to work in Capital City. Although she only had an associate degree, finding a decent job in Capital City wasn’t difficult with Tian Aiguo’s connections.

On Sisi’s suggestion, Tian Lili took over Sisi’s job and became an art teacher at the school where Sisi used to teach.

After starting to work, Tian Lili became quite reserved, no longer constantly sarcastic towards Sisi like before. However, she and Sisi had never got along since childhood, so even now, it was still impossible for them to become close sisters; the most they could do was not interfere with each other.

Moreover, Tian Lili now has a boyfriend and is in the throes of passionate love, so she’s had no time to deal with Sisi. If the Old Man and others hadn’t returned today, she would’ve already been out and about, sweet as honey with her beau.

Tian Lili’s boyfriend’s surname is Song, with the given name Xiaowei. According to Tian Shouhua, he’s quite an acceptable match—a neurologist at the Zhong Anping Hospital in Capital City, a native of the area, from a family of doctors, with quite an impressive family background.

Moreover, as Zhong Anping said, Song Xiaowei himself is also very outstanding. Thanks to the family tradition, he has strong professional capabilities and good looks, with a graceful demeanor. He’s polite, leads a decent life, and has no bad habits.

The fact that Tian Lili landed such a diamond bachelor is indeed her good fortune.

Xu Qianwen is so overjoyed to learn her daughter has found such an excellent son-in-law that she’s been on cloud nine, bragging over the phone several times in front of Jin Wanming, Zhu Aiqing, and the other sisters-in-law, hinting that her Lili is so fortunate. Although she’s a bit late in finding a partner, there’s an old saying, "He who laughs last, laughs best."

Jin Wanming and Zhu Aiqing can’t be bothered to argue with Xu Qianwen. Ever since Sisi got married and had Du Du, Xu Qianwen has been sour as if she’d drunk several bottles of vinegar, even her farts smell acrid.

The most important thing is, Tian Lili is their niece too. Although they’re not particularly fond of this mother and daughter duo, after all, they still hope Tian Lili ends up in a good place. At the end of the day, you can’t have two Tian characters without some connection!

Xu Qianwen’s trip to Capital City this time is to meet the prospective son-in-law. Although she trusts her daughter’s choice, she hasn’t seen him with her own eyes yet and feels somewhat uneasy. She needs to see him personally to be reassured. Speaking of which, although Xu Qianwen may not be too bright and is rather sharp-tongued, she is indeed very devoted when it comes to her children.

The Old Man and Granny Zhao returned this time to vet the suitor for their granddaughter, which was also Tian Aiguo’s intention. His exact words were: "Dad, Mama, Qianwen’s judgment can’t be trusted. I won’t be at peace until the two of you have seen him."

The Old Man and Granny Zhao also don’t trust Xu Qianwen’s judgment, as it relates to the lifelong happiness of their granddaughter. It’s not something to be negligent about, even though this granddaughter isn’t exactly their favorite.

Actually, the Old Man, Granny Zhao, and Tian Aiguo all share an opinion they’re too embarrassed to say aloud to others—they know their own family best, and there really isn’t anything particularly outstanding about Tian Lili!

Her looks could at best be deemed delicate, her figure is alright, but her personality and temperament really aren’t great. She speaks and acts without tact and always carries herself with a pampered-little-princess air, and what’s most important is that she’s incredibly lazy.

Putting it bluntly, if it were their grandsons (sons) looking for such a partner, they’d be the first to disapprove.

But now, how did such an outstanding young man like Song Xiaowei come to fancy Tian Lili?

And according to Xu Qianwen, his parents are quite pleased too?

Apparently, they’re even urging Tian Lili to clarify the relationship with her elders sooner and to have the wedding conducted this year if possible!

Xu Qianwen’s visit also implied a meeting between both sets of parents. Little did she know that Tian Aiguo didn’t trust her at all and had already handed over the decision-making power regarding his daughter’s marriage to the Old Man.

Hence, the skeptical Old Man and Granny Zhao took advantage of the summer holidays to return to Capital City with Sisi and the rest, thinking that if Song Xiaowei indeed proves to be a good match, the other parents’ wish to have the wedding this year would naturally be feasible.

After all, Tian Lili isn’t getting any younger—she’s already 25!
