Chapter 1242: The Fool's Daughter (21)

"So you've already discussed it? Are you planning to buy it, or have you already bought it?"

Tang Guo asked in surprise. She truly hadn't expected that after all the twists and turns, that car would still somehow find its way back to her family.

Song Jinghua looked awkward. "We just finished discussing it. We haven't bought it yet. Xiaoguo, you have to understand us. Your cousin—"

"I know, his leg's gone. Once you lose a leg, nothing else matters, so you should help however you can." Tang Guo smiled. "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. It's your money. I have no objections. Since it belongs to you, you can decide for yourselves."

After a moment's thought, she added, "But don't buy the car. Just give Uncle's family the hundred thousand directly. Cousin's mobility isn't convenient now. Doesn't Uncle know how to drive? Leave the car with him. He can drive Cousin around from time to time. If you take the car away, won't it be inconvenient for them to go anywhere?"

After hearing her out, the two of them thought it over and realized she had a point.

Without the car, Tang Zhiming really would have trouble getting around. It would be better to let Tang Liping continue using it.

After discussing it for a while, they both agreed that Tang Guo's suggestion made sense.

Since they were giving the money anyway, they might as well leave the car alone and show some consideration for Tang Zhiming's difficult situation.

Sitting off to the side and watching the husband and wife discuss things, Tang Guo found it secretly amusing.

What she truly couldn't understand was how a couple who owned only one apartment and whose savings had probably fallen below five hundred thousand yuan were worrying about a family that owned two houses and whose bank balance was anyone's guess.

How strange.

"Mom, Dad, have you made up your minds?"

"Let's do as Xiaoguo said. We'll just give Zhiming the hundred thousand." Tang Li made the final decision. "That child is pitiful too. His girlfriend's gone now, and who knows if he'll ever find another. Without a leg, his life is over. His whole future has been ruined."

Tang Guo had no interest in listening to them go on about how tragic Tang Zhiming was. Instead, she said, "Mom, Dad, when you deliver the money, why not mention something to Uncle and Aunt? Cousin's old car only has another year or two before it's fit for the scrapyard. Besides, I heard it hasn't been serviced in ages. For safety's sake, maybe everyone should pool some money together and buy a new one."

Tang Guo felt she was genuinely offering a kind reminder.

As long as that car didn't end up in her family's hands, everything would be perfect.

System: That's right, perfect. That family of Tang Zhiming's is especially good at attracting trouble—whether it's the people or the car.

The two of them readily agreed and promised they would bring it up. Tang Guo guessed they probably would mention it, though whether Liu Chunyue would listen was another matter entirely.

Whether she listened or not had nothing to do with Tang Guo.

As for these two...

Forget it. Whenever something happened to any of their brothers or sisters, they would always come knocking on their door.

More than ten years ago, her family really had been the most prosperous among all the relatives.

There had been no shortage of relatives coming to mooch off them. After doing it for so many years, everyone had simply gotten used to it.

Perhaps the two of them genuinely enjoyed being surrounded by people and helping the family.

Whenever someone came to them for assistance and they failed to help, they would actually feel guilty. Yet helping wasn't their obligation in the first place, so why did they feel guilty?

They claimed it was because family should care for one another and support each other.

But in all these years, Tang Guo had never seen anyone return the favor and help her family.

Whenever trouble arose, the others ran faster than rabbits.

The next day, the couple personally delivered the hundred thousand yuan to Tang Zhiming. They also mentioned that they didn't want the car. Since they could simply take the money without giving up anything in return, there was no reason not to.
