> A Better Life Recap
Hu Manli and Xue Xiaozhou, after unremitting efforts, finally secured Li Fendou's 30 million family trust. Hu Manli cooked a few of her signature dishes to celebrate. Xue Xiaozhou bought Hu Manli a million-dollar annuity. He also gave Hu Manli the first year's premium of 100,000, promising to cover the remaining nine years as well. Hu Manli was very surprised. Xue Xiaozhou promised to be responsible for her to the end. Hu Manli saw Xue Xiaozhou's feelings for her.
She was so scared she didn't know what to do and quickly made an excuse to hide in her room. Hu Manli told Zhong Ning about this. Zhong Ning concluded that Xue Xiaozhou had fallen in love with Hu Manli and strongly tried to set them up. Hu Manli's heart was in turmoil. She had always treated Xue Xiaozhou as a younger brother, but she never expected him to have feelings for her.
Hu Manli decided to find a place to move out as soon as possible and coincidentally bring Ding Daer to live with her. Li Yukeke and Li Fendou cleared up their misunderstanding, and she moved back home. Li Yukeke saw that Li Fendou liked Hu Manli and wanted to set them up. Ding Daer had a conflict with his classmate Chen Xiaojun at school. The teacher asked him to bring his parent to talk tomorrow.
Ding Zhiyuan hadn't returned from his business trip. Ding Daer didn't want to trouble Hu Manli, so he put the matter aside. Hu Manli returned home very late. Xue Xiaozhou desperately tried to find topics to chat with her. Hu Manli avoided Xue Xiaozhou everywhere, only reminding him to see a client tomorrow night. Ding Zhiyuan wouldn't be back until tomorrow night, so he called Qiu Lisu to go to the school to see Ding Daer's teacher.
Qiu Lisu was very reluctant, but in the end, she agreed. Xue Xiaozhou met the client as scheduled, but it turned out to be Li Yukeke. She had asked Hu Manli to set up the meeting with Xue Xiaozhou to thank him for persuading Li Fendou. Li Yukeke personally made a bracelet and gave it to Xue Xiaozhou, taking the opportunity to express her affection for him.
When Hu Manli took Xue Xiaozhou to buy clothes, Li Yukeke had fallen in love with Xue Xiaozhou at first sight, but at that time Xue Xiaozhou was dating Wu Ya, so she buried her feelings in her heart. Li Yukeke learned that Xue Xiaozhou and Wu Ya had broken up, and she didn't want to lose the chance again. Xue Xiaozhou rejected Li Yukeke's feelings directly, because he had someone he liked in his heart.
Li Yukeke did not force the issue. Li Yukeke directly asked Hu Manli to be her stepmother. Hu Manli was startled and clearly stated that she did not want to remarry. Qiu Lisu went to the school and briefly learned about the incident from the teacher. She asked Ding Daer to apologize to Chen Xiaojun. Ding Daer firmly refused. Chen Xiaojun always publicly slandered him and made fun of his parents' divorce.
Ding Daer couldn't bear it anymore, so he discussed Chen Xiaojun with his classmates. Now Chen Xiaojun was turning the tables. Qiu Lisu decided Ding Daer was wrong and forced him to apologize first. Ding Daer just wouldn't back down. Qiu Lisu pushed all the responsibility onto Hu Manli, accusing her of not being strict enough. Ding Daer was enraged and shouted at Qiu Lisu. Qiu Lisu threatened and intimidated Ding Daer.
Li Fendou admired Hu Manli's style of doing things and felt she was very much like his deceased wife. When he learned that Hu Manli did not want to remarry, he wanted to be friends with her. Li Yukeke refused to give up and decided to try again. Hu Manli avoided Xue Xiaozhou everywhere, but Xue Xiaozhou relentlessly pursued her. Ding Zhiyuan suddenly called Hu Manli. Xue Xiaozhou mistakenly thought Hu Manli wanted to remarry Ding Zhiyuan.
Hu Manli didn't want to explain too much. Ding Zhiyuan returned from his business trip. Ding Daer was late coming home. He had to call Hu Manli. Hu Manli called Xue Xiaozhou, and they went out together to look for Ding Daer. Li Yukeke learned that Ding Daer hadn't come home and also went out to help search. They searched separately but still didn't find Ding Daer. Hu Manli was extremely anxious.
Li Yukeke, Xue Xiaozhou, and Ding Zhiyuan all advised her not to worry. Ding Daer was scolded by Qiu Lisu. He didn't want to go home, so he wandered around outside. Finally, he came to his old home and lingered near the entrance. The current owner happened to come out to dump garbage. Ding Daer wanted to go in and look around, so the owner let him in.
As Ding Daer looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar building, he couldn't help but recall the sweet past when he, Xue Xiaozhou, and Hu Manli lived there. He felt very unpleasant. A young couple and their daughter lived there. They were very sympathetic to Ding Daer, and the little girl even gave Ding Daer a glass of milk.
