The onlookers booed. The old man was hospitalized and was relying on his granddaughter. How dare she say she was taking care of the old man?
Zhou Changshun... He's in jail. How can he take care of him? In front of so many people, he can't even tell them that he's in jail.
"Dad, Mom's here to take care of you too."
"Yes, yes, they took good care of me, they even brought me back some white rice porridge, it's so delicious!" Old Guan smiled so broadly that his wrinkles were all knotted up, he looked very satisfied.
Not only were the onlookers speechless, but the host and photographer were also speechless.
"Dad, please stop joking. Mom is waiting for surgery to save her life. Can you pay the surgery fee first? We can settle your grievances later," Zhou Changshun quickly steered the conversation back on track.
Since we're here, we can't leave empty-handed, so the host asked, "Sir, I heard that your house is going to be demolished?"
“The place I live in is indeed going to be relocated,” Old Guan nodded.
"Then how come you don't have money? I heard your house has seven or eight rooms and a yard." The host said with a smile, and that was the point of contention.
Old Guan looked at the host with a face as if he were constipated, "It's just that they said there's going to be relocation, I can't just sell off a corner of the house, can I?"
The host said, "That's true, but with that house, it'll be easier to borrow money."
“Yes, Dad, even if you don’t have any money right now, having that house makes it easier for you to borrow money than for me,” Zhou Changshun chimed in.
Old Guan's face scrunched up like a bun, and he hesitated to speak.
Xiaoyu sighed, "That house doesn't belong to my grandfather. Even if it's relocated, it has nothing to do with him. Uncle, my grandfather is a proud man, so he probably didn't have the heart to tell you."
“Impossible. If you don’t want the money, you don’t need to make up such a lie. Host, my mother has lived there since she married my stepfather. The house was just built then, and they lived there for over twenty years. Now the house is going to be demolished. To say it’s not his is a joke. He clearly wants to kick my mother out,” Zhou Changshun said to the host.
The host looked at Old Man Guan and asked, "Grandpa, isn't this house yours?"
Old Guan hung his head and said, "If it weren't for the relocation, even if it wasn't mine, I could have lived there until I died."
"Why do you say that, sir? You've transferred the house to someone else's name?" the host asked gently, sensing that this was the crux of the matter.
“Xiaoyu, has the property been transferred to you? You can’t stand your step-grandmother now? Although we are not related by blood, your step-grandmother and I have been taking care of the family while you were abroad all these years. You can’t just turn your back on us, can you? When Grandpa broke his leg, you immediately took him away and wouldn’t let us see him. Are you afraid that your step-grandmother will get a share of the relocation compensation?” Zhou Changshun reacted quickly and immediately grasped the key point.
The host, an older man, perked up. He was very familiar with this routine. "Young lady, although the old man has transferred the house to you, the old lady has lived with him for so many years, and the house should rightfully belong to her. It's unreasonable and illegal for the old man to transfer it to you privately. Filial piety is the most important virtue. We can't live for profit alone. You've also studied abroad, and this reputation for being unfilial won't do you any good for your future."
Those watching the spectacle looked constipated upon hearing the host's words: "The house isn't going to the grandson, but to the stepmother? This girl supports the stepmother's whole family, and the old man has to take care of him when he's sick. Isn't that filial piety?"
