I Have a Story to Share

This happens a month ago. There is an old man who lives across the street. He is a decent man I knew him since I was a kid. Anyway, recently he called me numerous time. I always didn't answer his call because he is kind of nosy want to know what am I doing. He sounds caring but I just don't like to share my sob stories. I am not the talkative person.

One day, I answered his call and he told me to wait outside because he is gonna give a vegetable (from his harvest). Once I open the door, he suddenly gave me an envelope that contains money in it. I said no, but he insists. In the end, I accept the envelope and the vegetables.
The next day, he called again. This time, I didn't answer for a week straight. Then, he didn't called.

Actually, I don't know what to do with that money. I don't like to accept money from someone who wasn't my family. Besides, it just too random.
I want to give back but it looks disrespectful giving back the gift.
I just let the money there and go on with my life.

This is so awkward...🤦‍♀️

@SW-User Can't you be his friend? Or does he want something else?

@hunkalove Well. I would love to but I can't understand what is his saying. Sometimes, I get what he says, sometimes I don't and I just say okay... I don't want to offend him. How can I befriend with him? I mean, I'm not a friendly person and I might slipped saying harsh words to him. This is an old man almost same age with my dad.
