Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Tang Yue’s Solution (Third Update)

Faced with his mother’s heartfelt plea, Tang Zhengde and Tang Mingli exchanged a glance, and Tang Zhengyue said, "Mom, should you intervene when Sister jabs at Brother’s sore spot?"

"Zheng Yue, Zhenghong is your real sister, haven’t you understood her temperament yet? She just can’t spare others with her words." Granny Tang wasn’t biased towards Tang Zhenghong, but she understood her temperament well. That’s why, when Tang Zhenghong said this, she actually didn’t mean any harm.

As for Tang Zhengyuan, over the years, Granny Tang knew that he had come to terms with things. Although he was angry now, it showed on his face but wouldn’t linger in his heart.

"Biased."

Tang Zhengyue muttered softly, then seeing Granny Tang’s gaze, he grinned and quickly said, "I didn’t say anything, really."

"Zhengde, Mingli, what do you two brothers say?" Granny Tang directly called them out.

"Mom, I think, it’s better to get a divorce. Let Sis come back home, we can afford to take care of her." Tang Mingli pursed his lips, increasingly looking down on that Chen Jian Country.

"It’s better to dismantle a temple than to ruin a marriage." Granny Tang’s sharp eyes glared at him fiercely, then she turned to Tang Zhengde and asked, "Zhengde, what do you think?"

"Mom, we should help, but how should we help?"

Tang Zhengde couldn’t refuse his mother’s request, besides, ten thousand yuan wasn’t much for the Tang Family now.

The only worry was, after repaying this ten thousand, countless other tens of thousands might await them.

Not to mention, just talking about Chen Gang’s wedding, there were another twenty thousand awaiting them. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Mom, what if we help with this ten thousand, and he gambles again later? Also, what about Chen Gang’s bridal gift?" Tang Mingli wasn’t being stingy with his real sister, but giving this money away would be like pouring it down the drain, at least bubbles would pop up with a gurgle.

But what about giving it to Tang Zhenghong? Or to Chen Jian Country?

The concern was that after several rounds of giving, if they didn’t help Chen Jian Country, he would grudge them. Give a liter of rice, earn kindness; give a bucket, earn resentment. Moreover, if Chen Jian Country got addicted to gambling, this ten thousand would hardly cover it in the future.

That’s uncertain; while the mountains may change, people’s natures don’t. It’s not that Tang Mingli looked down on Chen Jian Country, but Chen Jian Country getting involved in gambling was like a bottomless pit; what’s more, Tang Zhenghong was completely oblivious to this issue, believing wholeheartedly that Chen Jian Country wouldn’t gamble again.

"Regarding Chen Gang’s bridal gift, it doesn’t concern us. However much the Chen Family wants to spend on getting a bride for their grandson or son has nothing to do with the Tang Family. When Chen Gang gets married, you just present a gift." Granny Tang was very clear about this point.

"As for how to help, we can discuss it." Granny Tang also worried that helping this time could lead to a vicious cycle if Chen Jian Country gambled again. She put her face on the line this time to cover for Tang Zhenghong, but if again and again, it was definitely a no-go.

Granny Tang knew deep down that even the deepest family ties could wear out.

Everyone eagerly discussed, but they couldn’t come up with a good solution.

"Xiao Yue, do you have any good ideas?" Tang Mingli suddenly looked at the silent Tang Yue.

Tang Yue was always smart, with plenty of ideas.

Tang Yue, being called, hesitated for a moment. Everyone looked at her. She smiled and said, "I do have an idea, but I’m afraid you all won’t agree."

"Quickly, tell us."

Tang Mingli urged.

"Xiao Yue, let’s hear it." Granny Tang also valued Tang Yue’s opinion.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Tang Yue, who cleared her throat and said, "The method is simple, we pool the ten thousand yuan and make the Chen Family sell their house."

"How could the Chen Family agree to sell their house?" Granny Tang instinctively rebutted.

In past years, the Chen Family was quite well-off, buying a house in town and opening the Southern Goods Store, which were good conditions, and that house was big, a two-story house, but because it was a town house, perhaps it wasn’t even worth ten thousand yuan.

Besides, how could the Chen Family agree to sell the house?

"Is Chen Jian Country’s hand more important, or the house?"

"This house worth a few thousand, if someone is willing to pay ten thousand, do you think the Chen Family won’t be tempted?"

"Once bought, the house is directly transferred to Third Aunt, making it like we bought a house for her. That way, she won’t worry about having no place to live in the future."

Tang Yue understood the Chen Family’s personality, which was unlike Fourth Uncle Zhao Youwei’s family; the Chen Family was very greedy, especially since Chen Jian Country was their only progeny.

Without saying more, given that Chen Jian Country owed ten thousand for so long without issue, you could tell there might be a turning point.

Chen Jian Country probably didn’t owe so much money; he just used this affair to make Tang Zhenghong go home and borrow money.

"It’s a good idea, but if we step in and buy, the Chen Family will turn against us." Tang Zhengde thought the method was good, but if the Chen Family knew the Tang Family bought the house, they might turn hostile, possibly accusing them of exploiting the situation.

"Then let’s not let them know." Tang Mingli thought it was a good method. He was unwilling to pay for Chen Jian Country’s gambling debt, but pooling money to buy his third sister a house, he was willing, as he could afford those few thousand yuan for their sibling relationship.

"Good, Xiao Yue is indeed quick-witted from her university education." Granny Tang praised.

Tang Mingli volunteered, "I’ll chip in three thousand."

Tang Zhengde said, "I’ll add three thousand too."

"Then I’ll, I’ll contribute two thousand." Though unwilling, given Tang Zhenghong’s current actions and Zhengde and Mingli’s willingness to help, Tang Zhengyue couldn’t stand by either; besides, she might need money later and could use this as an excuse.

"I’ll speak to the eldest then."

After resolving this matter, Granny Tang also reminded, "Don’t tell Zhenghong about this."

With Zhenghong’s nature, if she found out, surely the Chen Family would too.

"Dad." Tang Xian only learned about Third Aunt’s situation in the evening. He comforted, "Don’t take what Third Aunt said to heart, I support your divorce from Mom."

"Xiao Min’s situation isn’t Dad’s fault either." Tang Xian had become much more mature and stable, no longer the same Tang Xian who almost caused Guo Li to miscarry.

"Xiao Xian." Tang Zhengyuan turned around, looking at Tang Xian’s grown-up face he said, "Our Xiao Xian has grown up."

"Dad, you still have me."

Tang Xian held Tang Zhengyuan’s hand, speaking earnestly.

"Alright." Tang Zhengyuan smiled, and after a while, he said, "What do you think about Xiao Min’s situation?"

"If only Xiao Min had married Gao Bin initially, then there wouldn’t be any issues." Tang Xian was also troubled by Tang Min’s capriciousness. Now, Tang Min was not living well; after marriage, she wasn’t respected by her in-laws and had two miscarriages, her life wasn’t easy now.
