Whether Old Mr. Huang agreed to what he said or not, Grandfather Fu was done advising him. At least what grandfather Fu understood from this, is that Old Mr. Huang must have been heartless and hated his daughter to the point that he didn't want to hear her name. But no matter the level of hatred, he was not so heartless as to order for her things to be thrown out even after he found out that his wife has them locked up in the store.
On their way back home, Grandfather Fu made this known to Jia Li and Fu Hua. He said that Old Mr. Huang was a stubborn man who had a lot of pride. Even if he was wrong, he would never admit that.
Just like the death of his daughter, it's possible that he must be pained at heart but he would never let anyone know about it because he still wanted it to seem that he didn't care about her, even after death.
