Auntie stood up immediately, with fiery enthusiasm, "It's not late, of course it's not late, Jiang Mo, come in and sit down quickly, we've all been waiting for you."
"Yes, Jiang Mo, you've finally arrived. Our whole family has been waiting for you, come in quickly."
"Jiang Mo is here, quickly sit down."
They were all so enthusiastic that Jiang Mo almost couldn't handle it, and wondered if he had come to the wrong place.
After Jiang Mo came in, there was a little dumpling beside him, secretly poking her head out from behind her father.
Everyone had a puzzled expression, "Who is this?"
Jiang Mo picked up Tangtang, "This is my daughter Tangtang, I picked her up on the road."
Jiang Kuo looked disgusted, "Picked her up? She's not your own daughter. What's the point of picking up a daughter?"
"Yes, Jiang Mo, how could you be so confused? How could you pick up a daughter? She's not your own, and you still have to spend money to raise her."
Jiang Mo held Tangtang and sat down next to his mother.
"I like her. She's my daughter, and she's the best."
The others exchanged glances, not knowing what to say. At this moment, Uncle spoke first.
"Mo Mo, it's Uncle's birthday today. Did you prepare a birthday gift? Or are you going to take Uncle to pick up the car now? Uncle's ID and driver's license are ready."
Auntie also said, "Yes, Mo Mo, your uncle has taken a fancy to a Bentley. You must buy it for him, otherwise he won't be able to sleep at night."
Jiang Mo raised his eyelids, "Today is Uncle's birthday. If Uncle wants a car, my eldest cousin can take you to pick one up directly. He has a stable job now."
Auntie joked with a smile, "How could your eldest cousin earn as much as you? Your eldest cousin couldn't buy a sports car in several years. Let Mo Mo handle this."
Jiang Mo waved his hand, "No, let's not. I won't steal my eldest cousin's credit. This is what my eldest cousin should do."
Jiang Kuo was suddenly called out, and laughed awkwardly, "No, my... my salary is low, I can't save any money at all."
"Jiang Mo, you should handle this. I heard you've made a lot of money. Buying a car for my dad shouldn't be a problem. You have so much money you can't spend it all. Buying one for me would also be convenient for picking up your sister-in-law, right?"
Jiang Mo's mouth twitched. These people's wishful thinking almost hit him in the face.
Was he a fool?
Jiang Ze also said, "And me, Jiang Mo, if you buy a car for your eldest cousin, buy one for your second cousin too. Your second cousin wants the latest Ferrari, it's not too expensive. We're all good brothers, you shouldn't refuse, right?"
Jiang Mo chuckled. They really thought he was a fool. These people actually had the nerve to say it. Were they dreaming! Were they out of their minds!
Second Auntie said immediately, "Mo Mo, are you unwilling? I heard you're very popular now, and you've made a lot of money. If you buy a car for your uncle, don't forget your second uncle. Your second uncle also dotes on you very much."
Jiang Mo sighed, "Second Auntie, you're listening to rumors. I'm not that popular. I only took a role as the male third lead, and the money I earned was all spent at the hospital."
"The daughter I picked up has a serious illness and has to go to the hospital every day."
Jiang Mo touched the baby's little head.
Auntie said in surprise, "What? She has a serious illness? You picked up a daughter with a serious illness and spent all your money at the hospital?"
Uncle frowned, "So, you don't have any money now?"
Jiang Mo sighed, "Yes, Uncle, look at the clothes I'm wearing, they're all very old. My daughter is also wearing clothes that others don't want."
"We're having trouble even eating now, how can we have money to buy you a luxury car."
Uncle was almost angered to death, pointing at Tangtang, "You spent all your money on this worthless thing, and now you don't even have money to buy me a car!"
Tangtang rubbed her eyes aggrievedly and snuggled into her father's arms.
Jiang Mo said, "Uncle, how can you say that about the baby? You scared her. Tangtang is still a baby and doesn't know anything."
Auntie also said, "Jiang Mo, you're so confused. You spent all your money on this daughter you picked up. What birthday gift are you going to give your uncle then!"
Then, Jiang Mo took out a bag of tea from behind, loose-leaf tea, which looked very cheap.
"What is this?"
Jiang Mo explained, "Uncle, this is the tea I bought for you. It's your favorite brand. Just take it as your birthday gift."
Uncle stood up excitedly, "What? You're saying you only bought me a bag of loose-leaf tea as a birthday gift? Where's my luxury car? I want a luxury car!"
He originally thought the birthday gift would be a luxury car, but it turned out to be loose-leaf tea. The difference was too great, and he couldn't accept it for a moment.
Jiang Mo held Tangtang and said, "Uncle, please have pity on me. I really don't have money to buy you a luxury car. If I have money, I'll definitely buy you one. Look at me now, I can't even fill my stomach and I still have to take my daughter to see a doctor."
"Uncle and Second Uncle, if you have money, can you lend me some? I still need to take my daughter to see a doctor."
Auntie's face changed in fright, "What? You want to borrow money to take your daughter to see a doctor?"
Jiang Mo nodded, "Yes, Auntie, if you have some money to spare, can you lend me some? I will definitely pay you back in the future, and I'll pay you back double."
Auntie said immediately, "No, no, our family doesn't have any money."
Jiang Mo hadn't even asked Second Uncle yet, but Second Auntie had already refused.
"Our family doesn't have any money either. We still have to hold a wedding for our son. Where would we get money to lend you?"
Jiang Ze nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Jiang Mo, I'm getting married soon. Our family doesn't have any money to lend you."
Jiang Mo nodded, "It seems that Uncle and Second Uncle are unwilling to lend me money, then forget it. I'll go find someone else."
"If I have money in the future, don't come looking for me, Uncle and Second Uncle."
Auntie looked disgusted, "That daughter of yours is just a bottomless pit. No matter how much money you earn, you'll have to put it all in."
"Yes, Jiang Mo, you're really confused. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you. We won't lend you money."
Jiang Mo nodded, "I will work hard to earn money to take my daughter to see a doctor, I won't trouble Uncle and Second Uncle."
"This is the birthday gift for Uncle, please accept it."
Uncle looked disgusted, "It's just a bag of broken tea, just put it there. It's okay to throw it in the trash."
"He even dares to bring out this kind of loose-leaf tea. I thought Jiang Mo had become rich, but I didn't expect him to still be so poor. What a jinx."
"I originally thought I could get a car, but now it seems like I won't even get a penny. What a waste of excitement."
Jiang Mo took his daughter to eat. Anyway, it wasn't his treat, so he wouldn't be polite. The father and daughter ate with relish.
Tangtang had a good appetite, not like a sick baby at all, except for being a little dirty.
"Sis, eat more, the dishes here are not cheap."
Jiang Yao almost laughed out loud, as expected of Mo Mo.
He's pretending so well...
