Tang Xiaocao was so angry that she handed the card to Tang Xiaobao and snorted, "You should do it."
"I have full authority?" Tang Xiaobao asked.
"Yes, you decide." Tang Xiaocao said.
Tang Xiaobao asked Li Mingxuan, "Have you really thought about it? Do you want this money?"
"Yes, I've thought about it." Li Mingxuan said decisively.
Tang Xiaobao asked Li Xiangyun again: "Do you really refuse?"
"We, we don't want it." Li Xiangyun struggled a little inside, but he answered quickly.
Tang Xiaobao laughed and handed the card to Tang Xiaocao: "Put it away."
Tang Xiaocao was stunned and said angrily, "Is this how you do things? He saved my life, how could you do this? Do you need this million? Besides, this is the pocket money you gave me. It's mine. I have the right to spend it, right?"
Oh my god, the brother and sister are going to quarrel again.
Tang Xiaobao smiled bitterly and said, "Can you please listen to me for a few words?"
"Okay, go ahead."
Tang Xiaocao was unhappy.
"Li Mingxuan."
Tang Xiaobao cried out.
Li Mingxuan hummed and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"One million is not a small sum for an average family, and it can indeed change a lot, but money isn't everything. You're right, money can make people bad. Sudden windfalls can easily destroy the motivation to strive. So, I agree with you not accepting the money, but at the same time, I'm also very touched."
Tang Xiaobao looked at Li Xiangyun again and said, "Although your family is poor, you live with integrity, principles, and a bottom line. I am deeply moved by you all and I respect you all very much. Really, if it were someone else, they would have been overjoyed, but you didn't. You remained calm."
Li Xiangyun felt a little guilty, as he had actually been moved just now.
"Many people say they're not afraid of death, but when faced with it, they become timid and fearful. There's nothing to despise about this, as it's human nature. But people like Li Mingxuan, facing death and thinking of saving his classmates first, are truly commendable. Such courageous acts are a manifestation of positive social energy and deserve our respect and praise. This isn't just because Tang Xiaocao is my sister; I believe anyone else could do the same. Because in the moment of life and death, humans lack the ability to think and can only rely on instinct to control their actions. So, I'm willing to believe his reaction was instinctive."
This time it was Li Mingxuan's turn to feel ashamed.
It was indeed his instinctive reaction at that time. He liked Tang Xiaocao and was a die-hard fan of Tang Xiaobao. Seeing Tang Xiaocao in danger, he suddenly became brave.
But if it were someone else, would they do the same?
He himself didn't dare to imagine this problem.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Tang Xiaobao continued, "Our society is sorely lacking this kind of positive energy. You saved my sister's life, and I thank you. This is only natural. Knowing to repay a favor is one of China's finest traditions. If I don't repay this favor, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life, and I believe my sister will feel guilty too. I hope you understand that this fine national tradition, like courageously doing what is right, is worthy of our inheritance and promotion. But as I said, money isn't everything. The problems it can solve are superficial and simple. But there's also a saying that goes, 'Without money, nothing can be done.' So, what I mean is, I'll give you some money, but not one million, but one hundred thousand. I believe no one would think that's a lot."
"But--"
Tang Xiaocao wanted to speak, but Tang Xiaobao waved his hand to stop her.
Li Xiangyun's family now agreed with Tang Xiaobao's words.
Risking his life to save someone, one million is too much, but one hundred thousand doesn't seem to be much, and it's not too much, right?
"I'll give you 100,000. Here's the card." Tang Xiaobao handed the card to Li Xiangyun.
Li Xiangyun didn't refuse this time. His family really needed the money. For example, the children needed to go to school, and the refrigerator at home had been broken for a long time, and the washing machine needed to be replaced...
But his expression is always a little awkward.
Tang Xiaobao turned to look at Li Mingxuan and said seriously, "Have you really thought about it? Do you want to go to college?"
Li Mingxuan nodded without hesitation. "I used to want to work and earn money to support my younger siblings' education. I wanted them to have a bright future, and I wanted to sacrifice myself for theirs. But Tang Xiaocao woke me up. Doing so would be unfair to myself, and it wouldn't really help them. Or rather, the help I could provide would be very limited. I still have parents and a family, and I have greater responsibilities. In today's society, without knowledge, even if you have opportunities, it's useless. So, I want to go to school. I've made up my mind."
"Okay, I heard from Tang Xiaocao that you have good grades, but you deliberately give poor results in every exam. Is that true?" Tang Xiaobao asked again.
Li Mingxuan hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Li Xiangyun and his wife were somewhat moved.
The reason they agreed to their son's plan to work was actually because they felt that their son was not cut out for study. His grades were always below average, and it was difficult for him to get into a second-tier university.
Only now did they realize that their son was so sensible and thoughtful.
Suddenly, they felt even more ashamed.
Their son is so sensible, but they still want to sacrifice him to help his younger siblings. This makes them feel so guilty.
"If you take the college entrance examination tomorrow, are you sure you can get into university?" Tang Xiaobao continued to ask.
Li Mingxuan said confidently, "It's no problem to get into a key university. It's just that I can't catch up this year. Next year, I will get into a better university."
"Time waits for no one." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile: "If you want a reference tomorrow, I can help you."
"ah?"
Everyone exclaimed.
Tang Xiaocao frowned: "How can you help me? I'm already in this state."
"You forgot that I am a miracle doctor. I can cure his injury." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile.
Everyone in the ward looked at Tang Xiaobao stupidly.
Miracle doctor?
But this is a knife wound. Although he was rescued, he is still in the intensive care unit and cannot move at all. How can he be cured?
"Not only will I heal your injuries and allow you to take the college entrance exam tomorrow, I'll also give you a better opportunity. Our company has a charity program for students, and I'll arrange for someone to come to your house to register. The tuition for you three siblings will be covered by the charity program, but you'll have to find your own way to cover your living expenses. When you graduate from university, you're welcome to work at Shenlong Group. We need promising young people like you who are full of positive social energy!"
Tang Xiaobao smiled calmly.
Li Mingxuan was so excited that his face turned red.
Li Xiangyun and his wife still can't believe it's true.
They understood that Tang Xiaobao was not stingy. Although he only gave 100,000 yuan, this subsequent assistance could truly change the face of this family.
