"You heard that? Even if Grandpa Guan intervenes, he won't be back anytime soon. You should focus on getting Grandma medical attention first, don't delay."
Zhou Changshun felt that Old Man Guan must be at the Li family's house, and Li Mancang's words were just an excuse, meaning he didn't want to get involved.
"Thank you, I'll be going now." Zhou Changshun left the street.
They absolutely cannot ignore Old Man Guan. He and his mother cannot let the old man do whatever he wants for so many years. He doesn't even show up when the old lady is critically ill. If the old lady passes away, then the house and property will have nothing to do with them.
Calling the police won't get the bedridden, dead old man away, what can we do?
Zhou Changshun took out a cigarette to smoke, but his lighter was nowhere to be found. He went into a convenience store and bought a new one.
Inside the convenience store, a woman in her fifties was watching a mediation program. The host, a man in his fifties, was persuading his son, who had been abandoned as a child, to support his parents.
Zhou Changshun had a flash of inspiration and quickly wrote down the hotline number in the lower left corner of the screen.
The call was made hundreds of times before it was finally answered.
Zhou Changshun quickly explained his mother's situation, all of which was in their best interest. He and his mother had taken good care of the old man, but now that the old man's house was slated for demolition, he had kicked them out. His mother was now critically ill and needed surgery, but the old man had disappeared. He had borrowed money from all his relatives and friends, but still couldn't get the money to save her life. He hoped the program could help him find the old man and, considering how well they had taken care of him for so many years, pay for his mother's medical expenses.
The production team was very interested. There were many points of conflict and contradiction, and the program covered a wide range of social issues. It was expected to generate a lot of discussion and high viewership. They promised Zhou Changshun that they would immediately send someone to the hospital to find out what was going on.
Zhou Changshun hung up the phone and sneered a few times. Old Man Guan said they wanted to harm him, but did he have any evidence? They had truly served him for so many years, and all the neighbors said he was better than a biological son.
With such strong public opinion, the old man wants to dump his mother? Dream on!
That old man thinks he can give his stuff to that adopted granddaughter without his permission? He's dreaming! As long as that granddaughter still has any shame and wants to survive in society, she won't get her hands on it.
Zhou Changshun smoked a cigarette, then took a taxi back to the hospital.
Just then, Li Mancang's phone rang again while he was eating. Li Mancang sighed deeply. Couldn't he just eat in peace?
Li Mancang thought it was Zhou Changshun who had sent someone, but when he answered the phone, it was for Master Guan.
"Master Guan?" Li Mancang looked at the old man Guan.
Old Guan wiped his mouth and gestured for Li Mancang to hand him the phone.
"Uncle Guan, I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I called this backup number. You asked me to keep an eye on that man, and he called some TV program. It seems they want to interview him. He left his address and went back to the hospital," the old man on the other end of the phone said quickly.
"Okay, I understand." Old Guan hung up the phone and asked Li Mancang, "Would the TV station be interested in our mess?"
Old Guan only likes to watch military and sports programs on TV. He doesn't like watching those sentimental dramas and doesn't know much about them.
"Yes, there are even programs that specialize in mediating disputes. Those shows are so infuriating; the hosts don't care about right or wrong, cause and effect, they just stand on the side of the weaker party and blame others."
A woman who ran off with someone when she was young and didn't care about her children is now old and coming back to be supported by her children. He tries to mediate between them, but they won't listen. He says they're not generous. No matter what, if someone gives you life, they should support you in your old age..." Chunni loves watching these kinds of shows, and she gets furious every time she watches them.
