Chapter 2097 Dilemma
But...
The old man was injured.
The old man has no way to go on adventures with it for the time being.
Huzi was disappointed.
……
Huzi hates hospitals.
As for the old man's family, he has always disliked it.
From the first time I heard that the old man's parents asked him to go out.
It knows.
The old man was very sad at that time.
It was a sadness it had never seen in an old man.
……
Hu Zi looked at Xiao Xiao.
This human has not been here for a long time.
If it didn't want to stay by the old man's side and prevent those annoying humans from bullying the old man, it would have wanted to go out to find this Master Xiao Xiao many times.
Every time he comes, the old man will be in a good mood.
Now that he has finally arrived, Huzi feels relieved.
Hope this human can solve the old man's troubles.
It's not good at human troubles.
really.
Human beings still have to find solutions to their troubles.
……
A smile suddenly appeared on the old man's sad face.
Before Xiao Xiao could ask, the old man had already explained.
"I just suddenly discovered that my relationship with my parents always seems to be like this."
"They are not wrong, and I am not wrong either."
"No one is wrong."
“But it produced bad results every time.”
The old man took another sip of tea.
The lowered corners of his eyes made the old man look a little depressed.
".I insist on living the life I want, and they can't understand."
"We all hope that the other party can understand us and make concessions."
"But the truth is, no one is giving in."
The old man raised his lips.
The flash of smile in his eyes was quickly covered up by the gloom.
"This time too."
"I never gave in to them."
The old man murmured.
"I achieved my dream."
“I went to many places with Huzi.”
"It can be said that I have lived most of my life freely."
"This time."
The old man was really confused.
"Should I give in?"
Give up insisting on Xiaomei’s gift.
For the smooth progress of Xiaofeng’s wedding...
"I know, if Xiaomei knows the reason why I sold the pearl she gave me"
"I wonder if it can understand such a complicated thing?"
The old man frowned.
"But even if it doesn't understand, I know it, and it won't be angry with me."
That child is always so innocent.
Just seeing him makes you smile happily.
This time he missed the appointment because of his injury, which made the child cry.
He already felt guilty.
As a result, will he do something that will make him feel even more guilty?
Even if Xiaomei doesn't know, even if Xiaomei knows, she won't blame him
But he will blame himself.
His heart told him that he didn't want to sell Xiaomei's pearls.
But
"Zhao Lei, why are you so cold-blooded?"
"My nephew won't help?"
"Leilei, please help Xiaofeng."
"Marriage is a major event in life."
"Brother, we lent you this money."
"Brother, we can write an IOU."
"Don't worry, Xiaofeng won't default on your debt."
"Uncle, please help me."
"I promise, I will pay you back the money soon!"
The expressions of his parents, brother, sister-in-law, and nephews, as well as the words he repeated many times, kept recurring in his mind.
Can't ignore it.
Can't let go.
"Alas..."
The old man pressed his temples hard and let out a deep sigh.
What should he do?
He is very greedy.
How can he get the best of both worlds?
A penny stumps a heroic man
The ancients would not deceive him.
"Old Zhao."
"."
"Mr. Zhao." Xiao Xiao slightly emphasized his pronunciation.
"Huh?"
The old man suddenly came to his senses.
He smiled hastily and said, "Sorry, I was a little distracted."
"Oops, look at me."
The old man patted his head gently and said, "I've told you so much in a long way."
He didn't want to say so much originally.
He even talked about his own mental journey.
It's just that once you start speaking, some words will naturally continue to be spoken.
By the time he reacted, he had already said everything he wanted to say and what he didn't want to say.
This is really
The old man knocked on his head again.
"Little friend Xiao Xiao, forget about what you just said."
He didn't mean to embarrass little friend Xiao Xiao.
"Don't take it too seriously."
It is a matter of your own family, and there is no need for others to worry about it.
"I just have been holding it in for a long time."
The old man smiled.
Don't tell me, after saying this, he felt really relaxed.
There is a feeling that breathing becomes easier.
"I want someone to complain about."
"As long as you are willing to listen to me."
The old man's eyebrows became a little brighter.
"Mr. Zhao, how much do they want to borrow?"
The old man didn't think much about it at first.
He just thought that little friend Xiao Xiao cared about him.
He quoted a number.
Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, "The old man also failed."
"At such an old age, I can't even afford this money."
Mainly because he has no family or descendants, so he doesn't have much thought of saving money.
He even thought that maybe his death would be during one of his journeys.
There are tigers around.
There is a beautiful view before you.
He slowly closed his eyes.
That's fine too.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these unhappy things."
"It's rare for you to come here-"
"Mr. Zhao, I'll lend it to you."
Xiao Xiao's words stunned the old man.
"Huh?"
The old man opened his mouth slightly in confusion.
Lend him?
Lend him what?
"Mr. Zhao, let me lend you money."
"You lend the money to your nephew."
Xiao Xiao made it clearer.
The old man was still in a daze.
After a few seconds, the old man responded, "You want to lend me money?!"
"This is not a small sum of money..."
As far as he knew, little friend Xiao Xiao was still in college.
In other words, Xiao Xiao has no source of income of his own.
Of course, their family has a teahouse, and the old man believes that Xiao Xiao can get the money.
But it's not necessary.
"No, no, no."
The old man waved his hands hastily.
"I'm telling you this without asking you to borrow money."
"Even if you asked, I had no one else to talk to, so I couldn't help but say more."
"Thank you for your kindness."
“But it’s really not necessary.”
"It's not easy for you to explain to your family, right?"
"Thank you very much, little friend Xiao Xiao."
The old man's eyebrows relaxed.
He showed a comfortable smile that Huzi hadn't seen for a while.
Huzi glanced at Xiao Xiao.
Sure enough, its previous idea was right.
As soon as Mr. Xiao Xiao comes, the old man will be in a good mood.
The old man was also a little surprised that little friend Xiao Xiao said this.
After all, this is not a sum of hundreds or thousands of dollars.
But little friend Xiao Xiao seemed to borrow it right away.
Although he won't accept it.
But I am really grateful to little friend Xiao Xiao for his kindness.
He was very happy.
Because of Xiao Xiao, he suddenly felt that the things he encountered during this period were not so bad.
