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.

Hu Zi was very disappointed.

……

Hu Zi started to hate the hospital a little.

As for the old man's family, it has never liked them.

From the first time I heard the old man’s parents ask the old man to go out.

It knows.

The old man was very sad at that time.

It was a sadness it had never seen in the old man before.

……

Hu Zi looked at Xiao Xiao.

This human hasn't been here for a long time.

If it hadn't wanted to stay by the old man's side and prevent those annoying humans from bullying him, it would have wanted to go out to find Lord Xiao Xiao many times.

Every time he comes, the old man is in a good mood.

Now that he finally arrived, Hu Zi felt a great sense of relief.

I hope this human can solve the old man’s troubles.

It doesn’t do well with human annoyances.

really.

Human problems should be solved by humans.

……

A smile suddenly appeared on the old man's sad face.

Before Xiao Xiao asked, the old man started explaining.

"I just suddenly realized 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 every time it produced bad results.”

The old man took another sip of tea.

The drooping eyes made the old man look a little depressed.

".I am determined to live the life I want, and they can't understand."

"We both hope that the other party can understand us and make concessions."

“But the fact is, no one is backing down.”

The old man raised the corner of his mouth.

The smile that flashed across his eyes was quickly covered by gloom.

“This time too.”

“I never gave in to them.”

The old man murmured.

“I’ve achieved my dream.”

"I went to many places with Hu Zi."

"You can say that I have lived most of my life doing whatever I want."

"this time."

The old man was really confused.

“Should I give in?”

Give up insisting on Xiaomei's gift.

In order for Xiao Feng's wedding to go smoothly...

"I know, if Xiaomei knew why I sold the pearl she gave me..."

“I wonder if it can understand something this complicated?”

The old man curved his eyebrows.

"But even if it doesn't understand, I know it won't be angry with me."

That child is always so innocent.

Just seeing him makes me smile happily.

This time, the child cried because he did not keep the appointment due to his injury.

He already feels guilty.

As a result, would he do something that would 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?"

"You won't even help your own nephew?"

"Leilei, please help Xiaofeng."

“Marriage is a major event in life.”

"Brother, this money is a loan from us."

"Brother, we can write an IOU."

"Don't worry, Xiao Feng won't default on his debt."

"Uncle, please help me."

"I promise, I'll pay you back soon!"

The expressions of his parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews, as well as the words that were repeated many times, kept reappearing in his mind.

Can not ignore.

Can't let go.

"Ugh……"

The old man pressed his temple hard and let out a deep sigh.

What should he do?
He is very greedy.

How can he have the best of both worlds?
A penny can make a hero fall
The ancients did not deceive him.

"Mr. Zhao."

"."

"Mr. Zhao." Xiao Xiao emphasized the pronunciation slightly.

"what?"

The old man suddenly came back to his senses.

He gave a hasty smile, "Sorry, I was a little distracted."

"Hey, look at me."

The old man patted his head gently and said, "I have said so much to you."

He hadn't intended to say so much.

He even talked about his own mental journey.

It's just that once some words start coming out, they just flow on naturally.

By the time he reacted, he had already said everything he wanted to say and didn't want to say.

This is really
The old man knocked his head again.

"Friend Xiao Xiao, just forget about what you just said."

He had no intention of putting little friend Xiao Xiao in a difficult position.

"Don't take it too seriously."

It's just one's own family matter, there's no need for others to worry about it.

"I just kept it in my heart for too long."

The old man smiled.

Not to mention, after saying this, he actually felt a little relieved.

There's a feeling that I can breathe more easily.

"I want to find someone to complain to."

"I hope you'll listen to me."

The old man's features brightened a little.

"Mr. Zhao, how much do they want to borrow?"

The old man didn't think much about it at first.

I just thought that Xiao Xiao cared about him.

He reported a number.

Then he laughed at himself and said, "The old man is also a failure."

"At this age, I can't even take out this money."

The main reason is that he has no family and no descendants, so he doesn't have much thought about saving money.

He even thought that perhaps his death would occur during one of his journeys.

There is a tiger around.

There is a beautiful view in front of 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, "Let's not talk about these unhappy things."

"It's a rare visit for you-"

"Mr. Zhao, I'll lend it to you."

Xiao Xiao’s words stunned the old man.

"what?"

The old man opened his mouth slightly in confusion.

Lend him?

What to lend him?
"Mr. Zhao, I'll lend you some money."

"You lent the money to your nephew."

Xiao Xiao explained it more clearly.

The old man was still a little dazed.

After a few seconds, the old man responded, "You want to lend me money?!"

"This is not a small amount..."

As far as he knew, Xiao Xiao was still in college.

In other words, Xiao Xiao has no source of income of his own.

Of course, their family opened a teahouse, and the old man believed that Xiao Xiao could come up with the money.

But not necessary.

"no, I'm fine."

The old man waved his hands hurriedly.

"I'm not telling you this to ask you for money."

"Even if you asked, I had no one else to say anything, so I couldn't help but say more."

"thank you for your kindness."

“But you really don’t need to.”

"It's hard for you to explain to your family, right?"

"Thank you so much, Xiao Xiao."

The old man's brows relaxed.

She showed a comfortable smile that Hu Zi hadn't seen for a while.

Hu Zi glanced at Xiao Xiao.

Sure enough, its previous idea was correct.

When Lord Xiao Xiao comes, the old man will be in a good mood.

The old man was also a little surprised that Xiao Xiao said this.

After all, this is not an amount of several hundred or thousands of dollars.

Little friend Xiao Xiao seemed to be willing to lend it as long as he asked.

He won't accept it though.

But I am really grateful to Xiao Xiao for this kindness.

He is very happy.

Because of friend Xiao Xiao, he suddenly felt that the things he had encountered during this period were not so bad.
