Xing Wu's house caught fire, leaving him with nowhere to stay during the Chinese New Year. Qing Ye asked Xing Wu if he was okay. Although Xing Wu remained calm, Qing Ye knew he must be very sad. He was the only boy in the family, and though he was just a high school student, he had long regarded himself as the pillar of the family. Having just returned to school, he could not earn money to support the family.
He had hoped to rely on the hair salon to cover his living expenses, but who knew the salon would also catch fire. That night, Li Lanfang took care of her paralyzed mother-in-law. Seeing that their only home was gone, the mother-in-law was deeply grieved. Li Lanfang helped change her mother-in-law's clothes due to incontinence while encouraging her to stay strong.
She comforted her, saying that although the house was gone now, they would rebuild it once they earned some money. The mother-in-law was usually not this pessimistic, but this time she was truly heartbroken. As a paralyzed old woman who could not move her legs and had an unreliable son, she could only rely on her daughter-in-law and grandson. Trembling, she pulled out a bank card from her inner pocket and gave it to Li Lanfang.
This was what she had risked her life to save during the fire. Li Lanfang hugged her, and the two comforted each other while crying. After settling Qing Ye in, Xing Wu called his mother, who was staying at a neighbor's house. They did not say much else, only reminding each other to take good care of the family and themselves. Li Lanfang's close friends brought over steaming hot dumplings from their homes.
Qing Ye sat in the yard in a daze. Xing Wu's books and schoolbag had been lost in the fire, and his livelihood equipment was also reduced to ashes. Her friends all stuffed some money into Li Lanfang's hands to help with household expenses. Deeply moved by their help, Li Lanfang shed tears of gratitude. Xing Wu's friends heard about the fire and immediately sent him WeChat messages, telling him they had already helped copy the study materials and books.
Passing by the hair salon, Xing Wu could not help but walk upstairs, only to find the inside completely charred. The wheelchair he had spent a fortune to buy for his grandmother was burnt down to its metal rims, and even the family portrait was scorched beyond recognition. Xing Wu fell into deep sorrow. Qing Ye arrived and patted his shoulder, silently offering her support. Xing Wu turned and hugged her tightly, finally breaking down in tears.
Beside the hair salon, Qing Ye encouraged him, saying that life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what flavor you're going to get next. When Xing Wu heard that Qing Ye had hidden his New Year's gift under his pillow, he immediately rushed back into the ruins and found the model airplane. Although it was charred black, Xing Wu joked that it looked like an antique finish and said he loved it very much.
Hu Zi called Xing Wu, reminding him that they had offended Cao Ping and Yang Gang not long ago, so the fire might have been arson. This jolted Xing Wu, who immediately called the police and then went to find Cao Ping. Cao Ping was completely bewildered when he heard about the fire. Xing Wu grabbed his collar and demanded to know if he did it, but Cao Ping immediately denied it.
Later, based on a tip from the public, the police identified Yang Gang as the suspect. Indeed, Yang Gang had appeared at the scene of the incident that night. He explained that he had accidentally started the fire by discarding a cigarette butt. Yang Gang was imprisoned, but since he had no assets under his name, Xing Wu did not receive any compensation. He would have to rely on himself to sort out their housing in the future.
Xing Wu went to the bank to withdraw money from the card his grandmother had given them. The bank teller told him there was only three hundred yuan in it, even though his grandmother had said there was over ten thousand. The teller printed out the bank statement, and one look was all it took for Xing Wu to understand. It turned out his father, Xing Guodong, had secretly withdrawn the money.
This worthless father always played the role of pulling the rug out from under them at the most critical moments. Back home, Xing Wu told his mother, Li Lanfang, that there was only three hundred yuan left in the account. Li Lanfang instructed Xing Wu not to tell his grandmother for now. Then, in utter disappointment, she threw away the marriage certificate she had secretly kept.
