Episode 2

Faced with the sudden death of Li Shuanghe's father, the whole family was immersed in grief and held a solemn funeral for him.At the same time, the childhood sweetheart relationship between Yang Chunxue and Liang Maicha encountered obstacles from her family. She was forced by her father to marry Gao Shitiao, and the bride price was used to marry her brother.Yang Chunxue firmly opposed it and vowed to break off the engagement, but her father imprisoned her in anger.The Gao family asked Aunt Hei, the village cadre, to persuade her, but Yang Chunxue had already made up her mind and instead asked Aunt Hei to help break off the engagement.Aunt Hei was unable to convince Yang Chunxue and couldn't explain to the Gao family, so she was in a dilemma.

Gao Shitiao had a deep love for Yang Chunxue and got the support of his grandmother.The Li family was resentful of Gao Haitang and encouraged Li Shuanghe to settle the score with him.Li Shuanghe decided to ask Secretary Su of the commune for help, while Aunt Hei hurriedly reported the news to Gao Haitang.Grandma suggested avoiding the edge for now, but Lanhua insisted on picking up the bride in person.On the other side, Liang Maijiu's late return caused family disputes. Liang Maijiu strictly taught him to concentrate on his studies and stay away from disputes.

Yang Chunxue was suffering from hunger in captivity. Her younger brother Yang Chunyu took the risk to send sweet potatoes and promised to help her find Liang Maicai.However, a fire broke out in the Gao family woodshed that night. Gao Haitang rang the bell urgently to summon the villagers to put out the fire. Lanhua also mobilized Li Dongshan and others.Liang Maitu hurried home to confess to arson and planned to surrender, but his mother and sister dissuaded him and urged him to flee.

Officer Zhang from the police station suddenly came to investigate. The Liang family hurriedly prepared Liang Maitu for his escape, and he finally managed to escape from the roof.The villagers suspected that Liang Mai was setting the fire, but Public Security Zhang lacked evidence and had to leave first.Liang Maishou ran into Liang Maishou while escaping, and left in a hurry after a brief exchange.After Li Yinniu learned the news, he immediately reported it to Gao Haitang. Zhang Gongan and others quickly pursued him, but Liang Maicha accidentally fell into the river.

Lanhua personally led the wedding team to Yang's house and asked Yang Chunxue to fulfill the engagement, otherwise she would ask for a refund of the bride price and banquet expenses.Yang Chunxue insisted on breaking off the engagement, and Gao Shitiao revealed that Liang Maiji had set the fire, but Yang Chunxue had no knowledge of it.Father Yang and Mother Yang tried their best to appease Lanhua and promised to let their daughter get married.Yang Chunxue tried to commit suicide, but was saved.Lan Hua asked for a return of the bride price, but Gao Shitiao firmly opposed it. Finally, Lan Hua agreed to get married three days later.

Li Shuanghe led the villagers to the commune to complain to Secretary Su, and Li Yinniu quickly informed Gao Haitang.Secretary Su listened to Li Shuanghe's complaint and left Gao Haitang alone, asking him to solve the problem of household quotas as soon as possible to quell public complaints.Gao Haitang said he would consider it.At the same time, after Liang Chuangen regained consciousness, he urgently requested to retrieve Liang Maishou, but Liang Maishou and Liang Maisui did not dare to reveal the truth.
