"You don't want your mother to be well?" Old Man Guan's eyes narrowed.
Zhou Changshun: "No, Dad, I meant in case."
"No 'what ifs', my dear, you must stay healthy. I haven't had enough time with you yet."
Old Guan's acting was so bad it made everyone around him feel like their teeth were aching; the old man was practically dead without a woman.
"Brother Zhou, just say what you have to say, don't hold back," the host said, feeling the material wasn't exciting enough.
Zhou Changshun gritted his teeth. If the TV station left and his mother didn't wake up, then he wouldn't be able to keep the house.
"Then I'll just say what I have to say. Even if my mom's surgery is successful, she'll need a long recovery period and someone to take care of her. My dad also needs someone to take care of him now, so it'll be difficult for us to be together in the future. Maybe it's better to separate now."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Your mother and I are better now, and we still need to live together. We haven't had enough time together yet, so why are you making us separate?" Old Man Guan immediately bristled and refused to listen.
"Sir, you're getting on in years. Even if your legs recover, you might develop health problems and won't be able to live alone. Since your son is willing to take care of your wife and ease the burden on your granddaughter, why don't you clarify things now and separate?" the host advised.
Old Man Guan glared at him. "What are you talking about? If your mother and father had a problem, would you make them divorce?"
Host... Can they be the same? What kind of divorce is it if the original spouse has children together?
“Grandpa, your situation is different. You two don’t have any children together, and you need your granddaughter to take care of you. You can’t expect your granddaughter to take care of both you and Grandma, can you? How can your granddaughter go to work then?”
“My granddaughter doesn’t have time, so Changshun takes care of her. He’s always been the one taking care of us, and I’m used to it. Changshun, why don’t you take me to your house today? We can be like father and son again, even though we’re not blood relatives, we’re closer than blood relatives,” Old Man Guan said matter-of-factly.
Zhou Changshun's smile didn't reach his eyes. "Dad, you can do it if you want."
Old Man Guan still smiled and said, "Of course I'm willing, granddaughter. Just work hard and pay off the debts. I'll live with your Uncle Changshun from now on, so don't worry about me. Pay off the debts so those people won't come after me after I die."
The host stared speechlessly at Old Man Guan. This old man was even more shameless than him. He was a spinster in his thirties, and he had to pay off hundreds of thousands of debts. How was he ever going to get married?
Xiaoyu nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Changshun."
Zhou Changshun waved his hand, "It's okay to work hard. I've been taking care of you for years and I'm used to it. But there are some things we need to say openly. Today, since the TV station is here, they can be our witnesses."
Neither Old Man Guan nor Xiaoyu spoke, watching Zhou Changshun perform.
Zhou Changshun coughed and said, "Dad, since you're going to live with me in your old age, I'll definitely take full responsibility for your affairs after you pass away. Shouldn't all your assets be given to me? If you transfer the house to Xiaoyu, then just give me the demolition compensation. If you don't want to live with me, then keep my mother's share. You two can each take care of yourselves in your old age. Host, shouldn't my mother have a share in the house?"
Zhou Changshun knew that Old Man Guan wouldn't support him in his old age; Old Man Guan was just putting on an act. He had already suffered a huge loss on the surgery fees, and he absolutely couldn't let this half of the demolition compensation slip away.
The host nodded. "Indeed, the two of you have lived together for so many years. She is the lady of the house, and the house should belong to her half. Sir, has the house been transferred to your granddaughter?"
Old Guan didn't answer, but instead asked, "If that's the case, shouldn't I also get half of my wife's assets?"
The host was taken aback, not expecting the old man to also want a share of the old woman's property; this was going to be interesting.
Zhou Changshun... that old geezer still wants a share of my family's property? "My mother's property was all left by my father. It's not appropriate for you to take it all, is it?"
"Don't talk like that. Didn't my wife and I earn that together?" Old Man Guan said unhurriedly.
