Chapter 868 - 870: Take it one step at a time
Xiao Yifei opened the bag and looked inside. It was filled with local specialties from their hometown; he wondered where Second Uncle had bought them so early this morning.
"Second Uncle, you’re so good to me, buying all this stuff, it must have cost you quite a bit." After speaking, Xiao Yifei took two thousand yuan out of his wallet. Upon seeing this, Second Uncle immediately pretended to be angry.
"Xiao Yifei, what are you doing? I treat you like my own child, that’s why I do this for you. If you give me money, it feels too distant, and I’ll be upset." Second Uncle shoved the money back into Xiao Yifei’s wallet.
"Second Uncle, it’s because I treat you like family that I want to give you money. Source surely gives you money every month, right? So after all these years, I give you money just once; you should accept it. Technically, I should be buying you things every month as well."
"Aside from this, since my grandfather passed away, you’ve helped me out so much. I don’t know what you lack, so I’m giving you some money so you can buy more good food or whatever." Xiao Yifei said earnestly, then stuffed the money into Second Uncle’s hand.
When Second Uncle heard this from Xiao Yifei, he couldn’t refuse anymore. He knew if he didn’t accept the two thousand yuan today, Xiao Yifei would find another way to show his gratitude.
"Then I’ll accept this money, but you have to agree to one condition: you must visit this city often. These two cities aren’t that far apart. I know you doctors are busy, but you should still be able to come back once a year."
"Also," Second Uncle paused, clearly debating whether to continue. Xiao Yifei said, "Second Uncle, just say what’s on your mind, there’s no need to hesitate between us."
