Episode 20

Four days ago, Li Dongmei felt suffocated by the endless quarrels with her husband, boredom with ordinary life, and the illness she was enduring alone, so she decided to run away from home and take an impromptu trip.The next day, Xiuya's father woke up and found that there was no one around him except for the “disaster scene” caused by frozen ribs.During this special period, Xiuya changed Shiye's contact information to Xiaoshi from the advertising department. Although Shiye didn't say it explicitly, Xiuya could feel his displeasure.However, Xiuya just wanted to find the right time to confess everything to her mother.Liang Dong gave her an idea, using the guise of a colleague to test her mother's tone.

Brother Dayong looked at this problem from another angle. He believed that Xiuya only needed to change her mother's traditional concepts.After Li Dongmei came out of the hospital, she called Xiuya directly and said she would pick her up for dinner.Before Xiuya could refuse, the call was hung up.In order to prevent the lie from being exposed, Xiuya hurried to the company, but the rush hour prevented her from arriving in time.So she called Pang Jing and asked her to help delay her mother.Xiuya ran to the company, went up the stairs, squeezed down from the elevator, pretended to have just gotten off work, and hurriedly pulled her mother away.Unfortunately, they met He Xiaoli and Ma Chao. Xiuya took the opportunity to prevent them from revealing the truth and mentioned her resignation to her mother.

Li Dongmei saw a good restaurant, so she took Xiuya to eat.The prices of the dishes there were ridiculously high, but Xiuya couldn't reveal that she had resigned, so she could only bite the bullet and pay with credit.Li Dongmei mentioned Zheng Hao and revealed that she wanted to meet him and talk about his marriage to Xiuya.Xiuya said she was in no rush to get married.After dinner, Li Dongmei went shopping, and Xiuya had to follow her. In the end, she spent more than 8,000 yuan on two sets of clothes.Xiuya told Shi Ye about her troubles. After hearing this, Shi Ye immediately took her to talk shows to make money.They went to various places to do talk shows, each of them earned one hundred, and the two of them earned two hundred.Although money is earned slowly, Xiuya feels distressed every time she spends it.Shi Ye bought discounted bread for dinner in the supermarket and saved another sum of money.

Although the landlord, Sister Chen, verbally promised to defer the rent for a few days, she soon came to the door.Li Dongmei learned that her daughter had not paid the rent, so she paid the rent with her own cash.When she was cleaning Xiuya's room, she found Xiuya's notebook where she wrote talk show jokes.In the evening, when Shi Ye came back from seeing Xiu Ya, he heard her answering the phone from her mother and telling lies.He joked that this relationship was like an affair.Xiuya returned to the rental house and found that her mother had prepared meals and told her that the rent had been paid.When Li Dongmei mentioned the red book, Xiuya lied that she had a hobby of memorizing interesting things.When Xiuya went to the toilet, Li Dongmei accidentally saw the love message sent to Xiuya by a person named Xiao Shi from the advertising department, and she suddenly became suspicious.

When Xiuya was going out on the weekend, Li Dongmei wanted to go with her, but Xiuya made excuses and refused.This further strengthened Li Dongmei's belief that her daughter was hiding something from her.So she followed Xiuya out and found her getting on the back seat of Shiye's bicycle. The two looked very close.When Li Dongmei contacted Zheng Hao, Zheng Hao did not tell her that he had broken up with Xiuya.When Xiuya came back in the evening, she was shocked to see her mother sitting on the sofa.
