Chapter 2094 Selling pearls?
Especially at that time he was injured and hospitalized, it was a very emotional moment. The moment he saw the caller ID, the old man's eyes were really wet.

He thought the elderly people in his family missed him.

My parents are old.

He is old too.

Even if his parents didn't call, he planned to go home to see them after he was discharged from the hospital.

They don't have much time left.

……

The result... made him a little sad.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to help his brother.

He was also worried about his nephew.

However, when the call was connected, the first thing he said was that his nephew was getting married and that he, as his uncle, needed to pay more money.

Long time no see...

No care.

No homely stuff.

He even suspected that if it weren't for his nephew's incident, there would have been no call at all.

……

Especially after he knew that he couldn't come up with much money, the harsh words his parents kept nagging him really hurt him.

……

He answered the call with great anticipation, but it ended in a bad mood.

He didn't even have time to say that he was injured and hospitalized.

……

Later his brother called him.

He then told me that he was injured and hospitalized.

My parents are old and it is inconvenient for them to travel.

But his younger brother, sister-in-law, nephew and his girlfriend all came to the hospital to see him.

He was happy that so many people came to the ward all of a sudden.

However, there was a big age gap between him and his brother, and they didn't spend much time together, so when they first met, the atmosphere between them was inevitably a little awkward.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law is an extrovert.

Soon, the ward was filled with harmony and joy.

……

But what happened later made the old man recall the harmony and joy at that time, and he had different feelings about it.

"I even regretted not telling them that I was in the hospital."

"If only they hadn't come to see me in the hospital..."

"If only... I had kept the pearls..."

……

pearl?

Xiao Xiao understood a little bit instantly, "Did Xiaomei give you the pearl?"

The old man nodded.

The hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tighten a little.

These are the pearls that Xiaomei gave him, made from her own tears.

……

"I have been in the hospital all the time, and the pearl has been kept in the ward."

"I don't know who saw my pearl that time..."

The old man lowered his eyes.

He was wondering why his family called again so soon.
In the past, he was the one who called back almost every time after a bad breakup.

Unless it was like before, when there was something at home and they needed him, they would call him first.

Yes.

How had he forgotten this before?

Sure enough, the impact of hospitalization on him was greater than he thought.

He even thought... that the two old men realized that their attitude towards him was too bad, so they called again.

result……

The first call was to ask him for money.

The second call was still asking him for money.

Before he could even wonder, the two old men couldn't wait to say the word "Pearl".

He was stunned.

I could hear the two old people complaining constantly.

How can you say he has no money when he obviously has money?
They said that he was a dishonest uncle...

……

The two old men asked him to sell the pearls.

As if they realized that their tone was a bit harsh, the two old men said that pearls were just dead objects and how could they be as important as their nephew's marriage?

……

Mr. Zhao finally reacted.

"How did you know I had pearls?"

He asked his doubts.

"Qianqian saw it."

The old lady blurted out, "They say they are very beautiful pearls." "Very valuable."

Qianqian has always liked pearls.

I can't say I'm very professional when it comes to pearls, but I do have some ability to judge.

She said that her brother's pearls were of much better quality than the pearl necklace she had seen before that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

She was totally dazzled at the time.

beautiful.

The price can be imagined.

If I sell these pearls, the money for the gift will definitely be enough.

The woman excitedly told the two elderly people about the situation.

After all, she had only seen her uncle a few times in several years and was not familiar with him.

Such precious pearls cannot be obtained just by asking for them.

This matter still needs the two old people to step forward.

So there is this phone call now.

Mr. Zhao was silent.

To be honest, his first reaction was displeasure.

These are no ordinary pearls.

He is not referring to the quality of the pearls or their value.
These pearls are made of Xiaomei's tears. The tears she shed after she knew he couldn't keep the appointment.
To him, these pearls were unique and extremely precious treasures.

This represents Xiaomei's feelings for him.

How could he sell such an important pearl?

Even if Xiaomei doesn't know, he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

He had originally planned to bury the pearl with himself.

Xiaomei might cry again in the future.

But not because of him.

He has already decided.

It's enough to let the child cry once.

So, these pearls are the only tears Xiaomei shed for him.

He was asked to sell such a special and precious pearl?

How could he bear to do that?

The two old men did not notice Zhao Lei's silence.

After blaming Zhao Lei for his injustice, they naturally asked him to sell the pearls as soon as possible and give them the money.

They said the day they had their eyes on was not far away.

Marriage is a big event, so you should prepare for it early.

"Dad, Mom!"

Realizing that the two elderly people were about to hang up the phone, Zhao Lei shouted out faster than his brain could think.

After hearing the inquiry on the phone, Zhao Lei reacted with a wry smile.

really
He took a deep breath.

He knew that once you say something, you'd better be prepared to bear the consequences.

".I don't sell pearls."

"what?"

Zhao Lei's voice was a little light and a little vague.

The two elderly people, whose hearing was not very good, did not hear it clearly.

"What did you say?"

"louder."

"I don't sell pearls!"

This time, Zhao Lei spoke these words clearly.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little stagnant.

It was quiet on the phone.

Zhao Lei could vaguely hear the breathing of the two old men.

"why?"

The two old men finally found their voices again.

Zhao Lei could clearly hear the shock and disbelief in the two old men's expressions.

Yes.

why?
Just a few pearls.

but
"Those pearls were a gift from a very important friend of mine."

“They are special.”

“I can’t sell them.”

If the two elderly people or his family were in urgent need of money, he would sell the pearls even if he was reluctant.

But now, it's just that my nephew's marriage has suffered a setback.
It's something that's neither small nor big.

You should solve your own problems yourself, right?

My nephew has grown up.

They are all getting married.

You can't always ask your family for help whenever something goes wrong.

They can help once, but not every time.
