Episode 3

After Liang Chuangen woke up, he was eager to see Liang Maishou, but Liang Maisui and Liang Maishou did not dare to reveal the truth because they were worried about his emotions.However, at Liang Chuangen's insistence, Liang Maisui had no choice but to confess that Liang Maizu was chased by the police for arson.Liang Chuangen was heartbroken after hearing this, thinking that this fire had ruined Liang Maitu's life.

After Gao Haitang was criticized by Secretary Su, he returned home with a heavy heart.Lan Hua comforted him with kind words, but Gao Haitang was still worried that household quotas would undermine the village collective and make his efforts in vain.Lanhua advised him to delay as much as possible, while his mother advised him to follow the trend of the times and not to confront his superiors.

On the day Lanhua agreed to pick up the bride, she declined the villagers who came to congratulate her because she was in a bad mood.Zhang Gongan and Li Yinniu found Liang Maitu's shoes by the river. After a long search, they could not find any trace of him. They suspected that Liang Maitu had drowned.After Liang Maishou learned about this, he reported to Yang Chunxue with a heavy heart, and Yang Chunxue was distraught.

Li Yinniu led the militiamen to search along the river for dozens of miles, but still could not find Liang Maicai.The Liang family all believed that he had drowned, but Liang Chuangen still did not believe it and begged them to continue searching.Liang Maishou asked Public Security Officer Zhang if Liang Maishou would go to jail for arson.Public Security Bureau Zhang said that since the fire did not cause any casualties, leniency could be considered and advised Liang Maishou to provide the whereabouts of Liang Maishou in a timely manner.

Liang Chuangen took his family to the river to pay homage to Liang Maitu, who had actually been rescued by a fishing uncle.The uncle baked sweet potatoes for him to satisfy his hunger and advised him to go home as soon as possible.On the other side, Yang Chunxue was released from the house by his father and had noodles with his family.Although she refused to eat or drink out of anger, she still finished the noodles in one go after her father's persuasion.

Yang's father took out dichlorvos and said that if Yang Chunxue did not marry Gao Shitiao, the whole family would drink medicine and commit suicide.Yang Chunxue had no choice but to agree to the marriage, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.At the same time, Liang Maitu gradually recovered with the help of his uncle. He knelt down gratefully to thank his uncle for saving his life.

Yang Chunxue put on new clothes before the wedding, and her mother made dumplings for her to see off.However, at the wedding, Yang Chunxue was expressionless and indifferent to Gao Shitiao and Orchid's enthusiasm.Aunt Hei repeatedly persuaded Yang Chunxue to serve tea to Gao Haitang and Lanhua, but Yang Chunxue never said a word.After many urgings to no avail, Gao Shitiao cursed Yang Chunxue and forced her to participate in the wedding ceremony.Fortunately, grandma appeared in time and resolved the embarrassment.
