Octogenarian, and The 90S Episode 14 Recap
> Octogenarian, and The 90S Recap
Jin Li learned that Ye Xiaomei wanted to use money to subsidize the nursing home. He spoke sarcastically to her, advising her to give up the nursing home as soon as possible and not repeat Lin Sufen's mistakes. Ye Xiaomei didn't want to listen to his nagging. She only wanted her 50,000 yuan back. Jin Li firmly refused to give it, wanting to use it as leverage to coerce Ye Xiaomei, so that Ye Xiaomei would visit him often.
The mother and son quickly got into a heated argument, and finally parted ways unhappily. Guo Sanshuang changed his strategy and promoted inexpensive but good quality bamboo mat sleeping pads to the elderly residents of the nursing home. The elderly enthusiastically bought them. Guo Sanshuang quickly sold out all the mats. He returned to the office and saw Ye Xiaomei crying bitterly and sadly.
He quickly took out the 2,000 yuan he earned from selling the mats, wanting to use it to improve the residents' meals. Only then did Ye Xiaomei stop crying, and she repeatedly thanked him. Ye Xiaomei angrily cursed Jin Li for being indifferent to her plight. Guo Sanshuang advised her to humble herself and ask Jin Li for help, which could also help ease tensions with Jin Li. Ye Xiaomei firmly refused to soften her stance.
Ye Xiaomei wanted to publish her comic works for money. She invited the editor-in-chief to dinner, with Eva accompanying them. While eating, the editor-in-chief casually glanced at the works a few times. Ye Xiaomei wanted to get the signing fee first for urgent needs. The editor-in-chief made various excuses to evade, telling her to go back and continue revising. Ye Xiaomei felt extremely bitter. Bu Gaoxing and Grandpa Hou craved meat.
They called on Old Li to pester Gatekeeper Master Zhang to play a match-three game. Bu Gaoxing took the opportunity to steal the keys and open the main gate. He and Grandpa Hou secretly went out, following the cafeteria chef to the market to buy pork hock to satisfy their craving. However, the nearby market was closed for renovations, so they went to another market to buy.
Guo Sanshuang came to a fitness equipment store to conduct a survey and visit. He found that the store lacked products suitable for the elderly, so he proposed reasonable suggestions to the manager. Guo Sanshuang suddenly received a call from Ye Xiaomei, so he hurried to see her. Only then did he learn that Ye Xiaomei's comic work had been rejected by the editor-in-chief. Ye Xiaomei was very sad.
Guo Sanshuang casually flipped through it and offered her suggestions for revision. As the market had recently relocated to a distant place, the chef spent three to four hours buying vegetables every day, leaving no time for cooking. Ye Xiaomei and Wu Hui discussed finding a purchasing agent to ensure fresh vegetables every day. Wu Hui recommended Guo Sanshuang. Ye Xiaomei concluded that Guo Sanshuang would not agree to do it.
Early the next morning, Ye Xiaomei and Wu Hui arrived at the market early. They bought a full tricycle load of vegetables in one go. With an uphill slope ahead, the two of them pushed the tricycle uphill with all their might, one in front and one behind. Jin Li and a friend passed by. His friend kept praising her own dutiful daughter. Jin Li saw Ye Xiaomei struggling to push the tricycle and felt deeply lost.
Ye Xiaomei didn't want to admit defeat in front of him. In a fit of pique, she pedaled the tricycle uphill. However, due to exhaustion, she let go, and the tricycle crashed directly into Jin Li's leg. Ye Xiaomei had no choice but to take Jin Li to the hospital. Jin Li pretended his injuries were severe and insisted on inpatient treatment. The doctor repeatedly emphasized that hospitalization was not necessary, but Jin Li's mind was made up.
Ye Xiaomei had no choice but to agree to go home and take care of him. Only then did Jin Li leave contentedly. Ye Xiaomei called a Didi (ride-hailing service). Jin Li limped over. Ye Xiaomei ignored him. The driver quickly helped Jin Li into the car. Ye Xiaomei had not returned very late. Bu Gaoxing, Grandpa Hou, Grandma Gui, and others were all worried. They forced Guo Sanshuang to call Ye Xiaomei, but her phone was never answered.
Ye Xiaomei settled Jin Li in and also helped him tidy his room. Ye Xiaomei wanted to rush back to the nursing home as soon as possible. Jin Li suggested soaking his feet before going to bed. Ye Xiaomei had no choice but to bite the bullet and wash his feet for him. Jin Li clamored for food and also asked Ye Xiaomei to cook for him personally.
Ye Xiaomei saw that there was only green cabbage and eggs in the refrigerator, so she made hand-torn cabbage and scrambled eggs. Jin Li looked at Ye Xiaomei's back as she cooked and felt deeply comforted. Ye Xiaomei openly exposed his pretense of limping, telling him to wait obediently for dinner. Jin Li ate both dishes Ye Xiaomei made in one go and praised her highly. Guo Sanshuang kept calling Ye Xiaomei's mobile phone, but it was never answered.
Guo Sanshuang was burning with anxiety. Jin Li ordered Ye Xiaomei to mop the floor. Before Ye Xiaomei had even finished her work, Jin Li asked for glutinous rice balls and fruit. Ye Xiaomei was overwhelmed by his constant demands.
