Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 718: Chapter 711: The Jins’ Twin Vipers

Seventh Madam Jin was utterly powerless against Sisi, which only infuriated her further. How could the always arrogant Seventh Madam Jin endure such a thing?

Accompanying Seventh Madam Jin were several younger women, most around thirty to forty years old. One of them, the oldest, looked to be the wife of Eldest Brother Jin.

Madam Jin furrowed her brows, walked over to Seventh Madam Jin, and together, they helped Jin Yujie up.

Seventh Madam Jin still wanted to argue with Sisi, but Madam Jin held her back and whispered harshly, "Haven’t you lost enough face? We’ll talk later!"

Although Seventh Madam Jin was domineering, she dared not act out in front of her sister-in-law and grudgingly kept her mouth shut.

In her heart, however, she noted this down, determined to make He Sisi pay in the future!

She had never been humiliated like this before!

Madam Jin approached Sisi, unexpectedly wearing a smile, one that was genuinely sincere, making Sisi instantly wary.

The most difficult people to deal with were those smiling tigers; in fact, people like Seventh Madam Jin, who were all bark and bite, were much easier to handle.

"The child acted out of turn and offended Mrs. Tian. I apologize on his behalf and hope Mrs. Tian can be magnanimous and not hold it against a child."

Sure enough, sweet words and deceit; her words sounded pleasant, but if she kept insisting, wouldn’t it be as if she was holding a grudge against a child?

Sisi replied with a smile, "How could an adult like me hold a grudge against a child! My nephew was just standing up for me, what can I do? He’s just too filial!"

Madam Jin slightly frowned, indeed, she was hard to deal with.

Sisi, relentless, continued, "Since you, as his aunt, have apologized on his behalf, I’ll accept it. But you must educate this child well when you get home. Luckily, today he bumped into someone as forgiving as me; if it were someone less tolerant, who knows how badly he would’ve been beaten!"

Seventh Madam Jin nearly spit blood upon hearing this. To think her own son had been beaten so badly, and yet she had the nerve to claim she was forgiving?

About as big as a needle’s eye?

Madam Jin, however, remained unfazed, her smile still impeccable, even if Sisi disliked her, she had to secretly admire her composure, something Sisi couldn’t manage.

"That truly was fortunate for my Xiao Jie. We at the Jin family will never forget Mrs. Tian’s kindness!" Madam Jin said softly.

There was no way Sisi didn’t catch her double meaning, but she feigned ignorance, "It’s hardly kindness, but it did serve to help educate your child a bit. You don’t need to be overly thankful; after all, our families go way back!"

Even with the composure to remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, Madam Jin was infuriated by Sisi’s shamelessness, and her facade showed slight cracks.

"Mrs. Tian truly is a delightful person. We must make a date for tea sometime, to keep the old friendship alive!"

Sisi replied with a smile, "Until we meet again then!"

Madam Jin gave a signal to the other sisters-in-law, and they headed home. It was apparent that all the granddaughters-in-law of the Jin family took Madam Jin as their leader.

Tang Anxin walked at the end, assisting Seventh Madam Jin as she supported Jin Yujie, casting several inexplicable glances at Sisi.

"That Madam Jin is not a kind person; people outside pair her and her mother-in-law together as the Jin’s twins, but behind their backs they’re called Jin’s twins of poison." Zhang Jie approached, introducing the origins of Madam Jin to Sisi.

"Twins of poison? Does that mean this Madam Jin and her mother-in-law have blood on their hands?" Sisi asked with a raised brow and a smile.

Zhang Jie nodded with disgust, "Not only blood on their hands but quite a bit of it. It’s said that the mistresses of their husbands rarely meet a good end. Being hit by a car is considered lucky; those sold into those dirty places truly suffer fates worse than death, especially the pregnant mistresses, who almost all get sold to such places."

Sisi was silent, not expecting the smiling, Bodhisattva-like Madam Jin to be such a ruthless person!

Though those mistresses weren’t any good either, ultimately, the root of the evil was with their husbands. If men were steady, there wouldn’t be a profession like a mistress!

Moreover, she also heard that most of the Jin family men’s mistresses were innocent victims, forced into submission by threats to their family’s lives or futures, only to end up with such tragic outcomes; it’s indeed lamentable!

"Is her mother-in-law the wife of Boss Jin? I heard Jin Guangrong holds her in high regard!" Sisi asked again.

"Yes, Jin Guangrong has praised this daughter-in-law many times in public, and even held a grand banquet for her sixtieth birthday, a unique honor among the Jin family’s daughters-in-law, even Old Madam Jin didn’t receive such recognition!" Zhang Jie, familiar with these secrets of the Capital City, spoke readily.

Jin Family’s daughter-in-law, Jin Family’s eldest granddaughter-in-law!

Jin Guangrong has a good eye for daughters-in-law. Both eldest daughters-in-law are formidable, capable of keeping the household in line!

But Old Jin forgot that in the traditional big families, they first valued virtue over capability when selecting daughters-in-law. These two daughters-in-law had ample ability but lacked virtue with their scorpion-like hearts!

Returning home, Sisi’s hand was naturally the center of many questions. Upon learning it was that little devil from the Jin family, Mr. Yun coldly sneered repeatedly.

"With even a child in the Jin family being so arrogant, it seems they won’t last long even without our intervention!"

Sisi thoroughly agreed. All big families value keeping a low profile, teaching their descendants to be low-key. Therefore, real scions of big families would never behave as portrayed on TV, with noses in the air, acting imperiously. Those are usually upstarts, families without background.

Scions of big families are low-key yet luxurious, approachable yet distant.

True nobility is in the blood, in the bones, not something money can earn.

The way Jin Yujie and his mother flaunted their Jin family ties at every turn, afraid others didn’t know they were from the Jin family, only made them a laughingstock, bringing shame to the Jin family.

Just a vulgar upstart family!

In fact, the Jin family is an upstart. Looking back at Jin Guangrong’s lineage, they’ve been poor farmers for generations, with Jin Guangrong himself working as a hired hand for a landlord, lucking out by joining the revolution and suddenly rising to fame.

Jin Guangrong’s wife wasn’t a noblewoman either but a fertile wife chosen by his parents. If Old Mrs. Jin hadn’t been so fertile, having five sons and being fiercely strong-willed, Jin Guangrong would have long tossed her aside for a pretty actress from the art troupe.

Thus, with two unrefined people, what good family customs could the Jin family possibly have?

Actually, speaking of which, those so-called families of the Capital City are essentially upstarts. The truly established families have either emigrated overseas (like the Mo Family) or been destroyed (like the He Family).

As a result, some scholars have publicly suggested that the courtyards of the Capital City should be torn down because there’s no one worthy to live in them anymore! It’s said because the future Capital City is filled with upstarts, and the nobility has vanished.
