After being stunned for a long time, the two old men finally understood what Zhao Lei said.
"W-what did you say?!"
The old man's voice was trembling a little because of his anger.
Zhao Lei heard the sound of the old man hitting the ground with his crutch on the other end of the phone.
His face was full of bitterness.
He understood the old man's anger.
But……
"That's a pearl that means a lot to me."
He never thought of selling them.
Even when he first saw them he knew they were worth a lot of money.
…
"What is important or not?"
The old man was furious, "How important is your family?"
"No matter how important it is, is it important to have your own nephew's marriage?"
The old man gasped for air.
"Dad, don't get excited."
Zhao Lei said with some worry.
His hair is already gray, not to mention the old man’s age?
At such an old age, I cannot withstand too much emotional fluctuations.
…
"do not get excited?"
The old man cursed loudly. "With a son like you, how can I not be excited?!"
"As I grow up and my wings harden, I don't listen to anything we two old guys say anymore."
"I asked you to find a stable job but you didn't listen. I asked you to start a family but you didn't want to..."
"Even now, I'm quite old, and I'm still alone."
"Nothing accomplished!"
The old man touched his chest and stopped cursing.
The old lady spoke, and compared to the old man's swearing, the old lady spoke with a bit of sincerity, "Leilei, Xiaofeng is the only child in our Zhao family."
Leile?
Zhao Lei was in a daze.
When he grew up, he rarely heard this title from his parents.
Most of them are called "Zhao Lei" by their parents angrily.
"Zhao Lei, why are you so ignorant?!"
"Zhao Lei, let's go. Don't you like going out? If you walk out of this house now, don't come back!"
"Zhao Lei, let's just pretend that we don't have you as our son!"
"Zhao Lei..."
He was surprised to find that he remembered these words clearly.
The anger I felt when I first heard it, and the sadness afterwards, now that I think about it, it seems like it happened just a second ago.
He put his hand on his heart.
There was a moment of discomfort that made him frown.
…
"You have no descendants, so what's the use of keeping these pearls?"
The old lady understood it rationally and moved her emotionally, "Is it possible that you still plan to take it into the coffin?"
Zhao Lei pursed his lips.
That's really what he planned.
He didn't receive many gifts in his life.
Such a special gift is one of a kind.
He cherishes it.
Those were his gifts, why couldn't he take them into the coffin?
…
"Xiao Feng is your brother's child. He is your nephew, which is equivalent to being your child."
"My own child is getting married. How can you, a capable elder, not help?"
The old lady's tone became slower and slower, "We don't necessarily want your money."
"Isn't there nothing we can do?"
"The girl's parents must demand such a large amount of bride price."
"Unless our family sells the house, how can we get so much money?"
"But selling the house was impossible."
The house is fundamental.
The elderly will never consider selling their house unless it is a last resort.
"After we two old guys die, the house will be yours, and you can do whatever you want with it."
"But now that we two old guys are still alive, we must have a place to live."
"You can live with Zhao Miao and the others."
Zhao Miao is the name of Zhao Lei's younger brother.
Zhao Miao's house was bought by the two elderly people when Zhao Miao got married. They paid a down payment with the money they had saved for most of their lives.
Large area and good location.
In his opinion, the two elderly people can definitely live there.
Especially now that Xiaofeng is going to start his own business.
The room became vacant.
Moreover, the two elderly people are very old, and their daily life is always a little inconvenient.
With just the two of them living there, they wouldn't have time to react if something unexpected happened.
Wouldn't it be great to take this opportunity to move there?
…
"How is that possible?!"
The old lady objected.
Why not?
Zhao Lei was puzzled.
"We are used to living as two people."
"I'm used to living here."
"I won't bother the kids."
"Besides, we are close to Miaomiao's family, so it is convenient for us to do anything. We don't need to deliberately live together."
