> A Better Life Recap
Qiu Lisu ran home dragging her big belly. The nanny offered her resignation. Qiu Lisu begged her to stay, but she was determined to leave. Qiu Lisu watched the nanny's retreating back, she was anxious and angry, and heavily slammed a glass of water onto the floor. Hu Manli took Wang Chunlu to an old residential area for promotional activities. The neighborhood committee director fully supported their work and asked security guard Master Cai to cooperate with them.
Wang Chunlu coughed non-stop due to a cold. Hu Manli went to find Master Cai to ask for hot water for her to take medicine. Xue Xiaozhou left early and returned late every day, only able to follow Hu Manli's recent activities on Moments. Qiu Lisu desperately tried to please Ding Zhiyuan, asking him to name the baby. Qiu Lisu seized the opportunity to propose that Ding Zhiyuan help the company promote on the "Philosopher's Talk" program.
Ding Zhiyuan flatly refused. Qiu Lisu had no choice but to tell him about the difficulties the company was facing. Ding Zhiyuan promised to work hard and would never let her and the baby in her belly suffer any grievances. Qiu Lisu was relentless, pushing Ding Zhiyuan hard. Ding Zhiyuan, in a fit of pique, threatened to divorce Qiu Lisu. Qiu Lisu was so angry she gritted her teeth.
Hu Manli and Wang Chunlu promoted in the residential area for many days but couldn't select a suitable elderly care candidate. Master Cai briefly introduced his situation. Hu Manli felt he was very suitable as an experimental subject. Master Cai didn't want to live in a nursing home. Hu Manli asked him to think about it carefully before deciding. Today was the last day of the promotional activities. Hu Manli and Wang Chunlu still hadn't found a suitable person.
They were preparing to pack up and return to the company when Master Cai voluntarily proposed to live in a nursing home. He had discussed it with his son at home. Hu Manli asked him to fill out the application form and then go for a physical examination. As soon as Hu Manli got off work, she went to the nursing home to visit her father Hu Degong.
She learned from the caregiver that Hu Degong hadn't eaten properly today, nor done his rehabilitation training well, and kept insisting on seeing Hu Manli. Hu Degong gave Hu Manli money to buy a cake. Only then did Hu Manli remember that today was her fortieth birthday. Hu Degong sang a birthday song for Hu Manli. Because of his illness, he stammered and was unclear. Hu Manli was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears.
Ding Zhiyuan saw the note on the calendar and remembered that today was Hu Manli's birthday. He sent a message to congratulate Hu Manli. Hu Manli returned from the nursing home. She passed a dessert shop and made a wish looking at the cake in the window. Hu Manli returned home. Ding Daer and Zhong Ning had prepared a birthday cake for her. Hu Manli was very happy, and the three of them celebrated together.
Xue Xiaozhou prepared a birthday cake. He drove to the downstairs of Zhong Ning's house and also prepared a birthday gift for Hu Manli. When Hu Manli opened it, she found it was her own notebook. In a fit of pique, she tore the notebook to pieces. Xue Xiaozhou picked up the pieces and then glued them together little by little. Hu Manli was so touched she couldn't speak.
That was all the experience she had compiled with twenty years of effort. Xue Xiaozhou stated on the spot that he would not force Hu Manli to make a decision and that he would keep waiting. Hu Manli repeatedly emphasized that there was an eleven-year age difference between them. Xue Xiaozhou felt that age was not a problem and that he would keep waiting until the day Hu Manli changed her mind. Master Cai submitted his physical examination results.
The company's underwriting department found that the report was fake. Hu Manli guaranteed she would investigate thoroughly. She took Wang Chunlu to find Master Cai. Master Cai desperately tried to conceal it, repeatedly claiming he did it all to help Hu Manli. Hu Manli wanted to take him to the company to explain clearly, but Master Cai firmly refused. Hu Manli saw that he had a hidden difficulty and persuaded him to tell the truth.
Master Cai had to admit that he had stomach cancer and could live for at most one or two more years. Master Cai took Hu Manli and Wang Chunlu to his residence. It was a small storage room in the underground garage. The room was dark and damp, without even a window. Hu Manli sighed repeatedly. Master Cai had lived here for many years. Hu Manli advised Master Cai to tell his son the truth about his illness.
Master Cai felt it wouldn't help. He had been in Shanghai for over twenty years without social security or medical insurance, and all his medical expenses were out-of-pocket. He didn't want to trouble his son and only wanted to live in a room with a window before he died, even staying in a nursing home for two days would be enough. That was why he concealed his condition. Hu Manli sympathized deeply with Master Cai's plight.
She shared this story in a livestream. Qiu Lisu, with nowhere else to turn, had to come and beg Xue Xiaozhou to find someone to invest two million yuan to save the company. Xue Xiaozhou flatly refused. Qiu Lisu still hadn't paid back the money she owed him for the shares. Qiu Lisu had caused him to be ruined and his family broken, and now she was asking him to save the company.
Qiu Lisu deliberately revealed that Ding Zhiyuan wanted to divorce her and get back together with Hu Manli. Qiu Lisu reminded Xue Xiaozhou to give up on Hu Manli early. Xue Xiaozhou didn't want to listen to her rambling and forcibly chased her away.
