Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 603: Chapter 596: Tang Anzhi’s Unwillingness

The other guests in the restaurant burst into laughter after hearing what Sisi said. Not all of the Tang Family members are shameless; there are still a few who care about their reputation. A young woman with a flushed face tried to persuade the old lady, implying that she would handle the bill and wanted no more quarrels.

Sisi glanced at the young woman, who was around thirty and somewhat resembled Tang Anxin, probably one of Tang Anxin’s sisters or something.

However, the old lady didn’t acknowledge her granddaughter’s kindness and started cursing: "You have a lot of money? If you have money, don’t you know to let your brothers spend it? Go stand aside."

The young woman’s face turned crimson red with both anger and resentment. If it weren’t for her husband’s business dealings relying on her parental home, she wouldn’t be here losing face with this damn old lady!

Liu Ping glanced triumphantly at the young woman. This cousin-in-law’s name was Tang Anning, married into a family with a company, considered the wealthiest of the Tang Family. However, since Liu Ping didn’t benefit from Tang Anning, she and this sister-in-law never got along. Seeing the old lady scold Tang Anning in public was very satisfying for Liu Ping.

"He Sisi, why do you have to be everywhere? Step aside; we need to talk to the restaurant owner." Liu Ping, trying to please the old lady, acted arrogantly, beckoning a look of approval from her.

Sisi scoffed: "Liu Ping, are you pig-brained? If I weren’t the restaurant owner, would I waste so much talking with you people? Watching your whole family is quite an eyesore, you know that?"

Everyone laughed again.

Liu Ping was instantly envious. The Niu Family Restaurant was actually run by He Sisi? How much money would they earn in a day?

Why was He Sisi able to have so much money while Liu Ping could only live off a fixed salary?

Sisi: That’s just fate!

"He Sisi, so you’re that He Sisi! You little vixen, you raised a son who’s no good, always bullying my dear great-grandson."

Old Mrs. Tang suddenly started cursing, huffing and puffing furiously.

Sisi noticed a few children sitting at the table, among them Tang Linlang and another boy, the same two kids who got into a fight with Du Du and others two years ago.

"Watch your mouth, don’t think just because you’re old I won’t slap you. Piss off this lady, and I’ll slap you all the same."

Sisi picked up the clipboard holding the menu and swung it toward the old lady’s mouth; this clipboard really was a good thing, even more handy than a brick.

Her force was just right, making the old lady feel pain but leaving no visible trace.

Old Mrs. Tang was taken aback. She had been arrogant for decades, undefeated in battles of words, and had never been slapped!

After a moment of shock, Old Mrs. Tang executed her usual trick, trying to cause a scene by sitting on the floor. Sisi waved the clipboard in front of her, and the old woman immediately fell silent.

Dealing with such unreasonable people, no need to talk sense, just a direct fist is worth a hundred words.

"Hurry up and pay. If you delay any longer and affect our restaurant’s business, it won’t just be a matter of over six hundred yuan to compensate. Besides, the renowned Tang Family wouldn’t be unable to pay just over six hundred yuan, would they?" Sisi said with mock surprise.

"I’ll pay!"

Tang Anjing couldn’t take it anymore. She took out seven hundred-dollar bills from her bag and handed them to Sisi. Sisi asked the waiter to give her change.

Old Mrs. Tang, already supported up by Liu Ping, was heartbroken over the money, wanting to scold her granddaughter for wasting money, but she was afraid of the clipboard in Sisi’s hand, so she could only stare at Sisi hatefully, as if wanting to devour her.

"You’ll see!" Old Mrs. Tang said viciously, but Sisi didn’t even bother to respond.

After Tang Anjing paid, she took her son and left first, having no face to stay any longer. Sisi pointed at the bowl with urine on the table and said to the departing old lady, "Don’t forget this bowl, old lady. After washing, you can still use it, and the child’s urine inside is enough to stew two eggs for nourishment."

The guests laughed again, and Old Mrs. Tang shot a hateful look at He Sisi. She didn’t take the bowl; assisted by Liu Ping, she hastily left.

Sisi handed the five hundred yuan to Xiao He, saying it was the medical fee she claimed back for her. Xiao He refused to take it, shaking her head like a rattle.

No way, Sisi could only ask Xiao He to give each table in the hall a 12% discount, treating the five hundred yuan as the Tang Family’s compensation. As for Xiao He, she’d have Niu Guiyuan give her some bonus at the end of the month; couldn’t let an employee suffer in vain.

After returning to the private room at home, Sisi told Shangguan and Zhang Jie about what happened outside. Zhang Jie sneered, "With such an old lady in the Tang Family, they’re becoming more and more of a mess. Not a single promising descendant in the Tang Family; I bet the Tang Family won’t last much longer."

Sisi agreed, thinking that Tang Anzhi was originally rather capable, but back then, because the old lady and mother coddled him, he lost a good opportunity to go to Huang Yuan. Now he’s stuck in the office, neither progressing nor regressing; for this life, moving up to a deputy hall level might be his cap.

Meanwhile, Tian Xinhua, of the same age, is now already a city leader. The difference is significant; imagine how much Tang Anzhi regrets it!

Indeed, Tang Anzhi regrets it deeply.

Now, in his thirties, he’s still just a division-level cadre, while Tian Xinhua, who took his spot, is reportedly now the top official in F City. Back in school, Tian Xinhua wasn’t even as prominent as him!

Full of resentment, Tang Anzhi blames his grandmother and mother. If they hadn’t stopped him from going to Huang Yuan, he’d be the top official in F City now!

Those without ability always blame the heavens and others, finding reasons for their failures elsewhere. But they never think about how others’ success, seemingly simple, requires effort beyond a few words to explain.

To appear glamorous in front of others, one must endure hardships behind the scenes. If Tang Anzhi thinks he can become successful without any toil, where are things so easy in this world?

He might as well obediently be a conceited young master!

"Doesn’t Mr. Tang care about this old lady? This old man shouldn’t be so confused, right?" Sisi asked in puzzlement.

"Old Lady Tang once saved Mr. Tang’s life, so he treats her well, indulging her whims, making her more and more unreasonable. Besides, Mr. Tang isn’t exceptionally clever or capable. Good at fighting, but managing a family is another story..."

Zhang Jie shook her head as she spoke, saying that Old Man Tang’s lifetime of fame was all ruined by Old Lady Tang, with countless people in the Capital City laughing at him!

The three adults were engrossed in conversation, completely oblivious to the thoughtful expressions on the faces of the four children.

After coming back, Zhang Jie rested for three days and then plunged into her new job. After learning about Sisi’s goal, she raised her hand, expressing her intention to fully support her friend’s work wholeheartedly.

"Oh, save it; use your wholehearted support for your man; I don’t need it," Sisi teased, earning a playful punch.
