Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 597: Chapter 590: Sisi’s Concession

The incident where two of Sisi’s employees were retaliated against had become known to everyone except Granny Zhao, and everyone was very worried about her safety.

He Xuewen happened to be in Yuequan Village, and as soon as he and Tian Manjin saw the TV news, the two immediately agreed in action for the first time, calling Sisi right away to urge her to quit Green Home and stop doing these thankless tasks.

"Ah Nan, listen to Daddy, okay? What’s the point of this, honey? You’re not earning any money and even spending money on it, well, it’s up to you since our family isn’t short of cash, as long as you’re happy. But now, it’s threatening your life! Ah Nan, Daddy is begging you, don’t get involved with these things anymore. Why should only you, amongst so many people in the country, bear this risk?"

He Xuewen and Tian Manjin put the phone on speaker and almost simultaneously were painstakingly persuading Sisi over the phone.

Sisi felt a bit sniffly; if possible, she really didn’t want her family to be frightened, but then again, she couldn’t assure them that she was a hundred percent confident in her actions. Otherwise, she too was quite afraid of dying.

"Daddy, don’t worry, nothing will happen to me. Grandpa Yun has provided bodyguards for me, and besides, I’m a blessed person! How could something happen to me?"

Sisi emphasized the word ’blessed’, and He Xuewen understood instantly. He knew what Sisi was referring to, but he was still worried in his heart!

Why can’t Ah Nan just stay home peacefully, drink coffee, go shopping, and spend money leisurely?

After Sisi’s extensive comforting, her two daddies were temporarily persuaded, but both were pondering whether to spend more money to hire a few martial arts experts to specially protect Ah Nan.

Sisi hung up the phone and exhaled deeply, feeling warmth in her heart. She had just lied to her two daddies saying Mr. Yun had provided bodyguards, so she had to go back to the Yun Mansion and inform Mr. Yun to avoid exposure.

As for Tian Xinhua, she had reported to him earlier. Tian Xinhua had seen Sisi’s toxic arts, and therefore was not too worried. In the Mainland, guns were banned, and as long as it wasn’t hot weapons, he felt confident in Sisi’s safety.

Nevertheless, he still got Shangguan to help Sisi. But it wasn’t really him getting help; it was Shangguan who saw Sisi’s speech on TV and got excited immediately, telling Yang Shu she wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Sisi.

Truth be told, she was just too bored staying at home. After Sisi had resigned from her teaching job two years ago, she had also quit her job, leading to days spent either walking Huahua and Mao Dou (the three older kids including Du Du no longer needed her to walk them), or tagging along with Sisi to take photos, or visiting Yang Shu’s company. Life was utterly tasteless.

Shangguan volunteering was warmly welcomed by Sisi. Speaking of which, both she and Shangguan hadn’t moved their skills for quite a few years now!

Too bad Zhang Jie was missing!

Sisi felt a bit regretful; otherwise, the three of them could have reformed the ’Eastern Three Heroes’ team to fight injustice and save the world!

But before saving the world, they still had to clean up some annoying riffraff!

At the hospital, Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhang were gradually recovering. Xiao Zhang was better; even though he was initially depressed for a few days after learning he had become disabled, he gradually came to terms with it, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It’s okay, Mr. He, you don’t need to worry about me. Even if I only have one hand, I still want to be a journalist. I won’t be intimidated by them!" With a face full of determination, Xiao Zhang spoke as if he were solemnly swearing under the party flag, sincere and grave.

"As long as you have this optimistic mindset, that’s good. I’ve already arranged for a prosthetic for you. In a while, the doctor will fit it for you. Although a prosthetic isn’t as flexible as a real hand, with practice, you can still do many things."

Sisi was very happy; she hadn’t expected Xiao Zhang to have such a good attitude, able to adjust himself without others’ comfort, truly impressive!

However, things were not as smooth on Xiao Liu’s side. Not only were there physical and psychological traumas, but also harm from her parents and family.

According to Shi Lei, Xiao Liu’s family would go to the hospital every day to argue, asking Xiao Liu to demand money from Mr. He, saying Xiao Liu was now useless and couldn’t earn dowry or support them in old age, so they needed more money; otherwise, they had raised Xiao Liu for nothing.

Due to these reasons, Xiao Liu became more silent and haggard, and her psychologist said she now had severe suicidal tendencies.

Sisi was extremely infuriated by such outrageous parents, whom she couldn’t hit nor scold. How could there be such heartless parents in this world?

Were they trying to push Xiao Liu to death?

After some thought, Sisi decided to give Xiao Liu’s parents the fifty thousand yuan. Although she felt very aggrieved, if things continued this way, Xiao Liu might indeed be pushed to death by her unkind family!

Fifty thousand yuan to save a life was indeed worth it!

Sisi went to the hospital with a checkbook, accompanied by her bodyguard Shangguan. From the day after the press conference ended, Shangguan officially became Sisi’s bodyguard.

In the hospital room, Mrs. Liu kept persuading Xiao Liu, insisting that they couldn’t have raised her for nothing and must demand compensation. Xiao Liu’s face was pale, and she didn’t utter a word.

Seeing his daughter’s listless state, Mr. Liu, frustrated from running around every day without getting a single cent, felt a surge of anger. He raised his hand to hit Xiao Liu.

Sisi quickly took a pen from her bag and shot it toward Mr. Liu’s hand like a dart.

Mr. Liu pulled back his hand in pain and turned to glare at Sisi with murderous intent, as though he could kill Sisi hundreds of times with his eyes if possible.

Sisi didn’t waste words with them, she directly took out a checkbook from her bag, and swiftly signed a five followed by four zeros on it, tearing off that check, which the Liu family looked at with eager eyes.

"There’s fifty thousand here, but let me tell you, I’m giving you this money not because I, He Sisi, am afraid of you, but for Xiao Liu’s sake. You may not cherish your own daughter, but I care about my employee. Take the money and get out of here, and don’t come back to disturb Xiao Liu’s recovery. Got it?"

Xiao Liu’s expressionless face finally stirred. She widened her eyes at Sisi, her lips trembling as though she wanted to say something.

With money in hand, the Liu family became very agreeable, happily taking the check and leaving without even saying a word to Xiao Liu on the bed—so heartless.

"Mr. He, I will earn money to repay you that fifty thousand."

Xiao Liu suddenly spoke up, this being her first time talking since waking up, even when Xiao Zhang visited her every day, she never uttered a word.

Before Sisi could refuse, Xiao Zhang’s voice came from the door, "We’ll repay it together!"

Afterward, Sisi was no longer needed. According to Shi Lei, Xiao Zhang proposed to Xiao Liu on the same day, though Xiao Liu didn’t agree, saying she wasn’t worthy of Xiao Zhang. Yet Xiao Zhang showed immense patience, visiting Xiao Liu’s room daily to convince her, claiming, "Now you’re a complete person while I’m disabled; you don’t reject me too, do you?"

Under Xiao Zhang’s persistent 101st proposal, Xiao Liu finally agreed. The couple planned to marry two years later once Xiao Liu graduated. In the meantime, Xiao Zhang intended to work hard, earning money for the wedding and paying back Sisi’s fifty thousand.
