Chapter 307 - 297
In the afternoon, Second Son of Zeng Family didn’t show up until 3:30. This person was about fifty years old, not very tall, and he kept dodging Su Ronggui’s questions.
"It’s not like we don’t care for her, it’s just that my son got married and there aren’t enough rooms. She chose to live in the garage. Her grandson is the apple of her eye, she loves him dearly. Besides, it’s not impossible to live in a garage, lots of people in the neighborhood rent them out for others to live in..."
"Whose house is this?" Su Ronggui directly got to the heart of the matter.
"My mom used to live with us, but after my son got married and my daughter-in-law gave birth, the house isn’t big enough. I initially disagreed with her moving down, but she insisted..." Second Son of Zeng Family avoided the question.
Su Ronggui persistently asked again, "Then, whose house is this?"
Zeng Er could no longer avoid it. He stammered, "It’s... my parents’..." And then he explained, "When my dad was still alive, he mentioned it would be ours... My mom insisted on living there... The garage really is livable..."
He kept emphasizing that Granny Zeng chose to live there herself.
"Why didn’t someone else live there instead?"
Tu Hengsha, who was filming from the side, instinctively glanced at Su Ronggui. He was known for his skillful interviewing techniques, maintaining objectivity as a journalist to truthfully reflect issues. Even when expressing a clear value stance was necessary, he rarely displayed it so overtly. He typically extracted the information he wanted and conveyed his sentiments subtly through seemingly unremarkable dialogue. In the industry, he was known for hiding needles in silk, or as others might harshly put it, masking a dagger in a smile. It was rare for him to reveal his sharpness so early in an interview.
