Episode 11 recap: Tong Xiao Qi had a car accident.
Chen Yu Zhou shamelessly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. He knew what the village chief was worried about, so he took out the contract they had signed earlier to remind the village chief that he was the one who signed it, and they had to fulfill the contract. Then he took out the money Tong Xiao Qi had earned from hauling sand yesterday and paid some rent in advance. The village chief thought the money was too little, but Chen Yu Zhou assured him that he would send money every week, and as long as he made more trips, he would eventually pay enough rent.
Tong Xiao Qi worked hard and took on more jobs than others. While others made one trip a day, he made three trips. The person in charge of dispatching work advised Tong Xiao Qi to take care of his health. After receiving the payment for the job, Tong Xiao Qi gave the person two packs of cigarettes and asked him to call him for future jobs. Gao Xin Yi noticed that although Tong Xiao Qi had formed his own team, he was still working hard for Xu Ban Xia. This made her feel jealous, so she asked Tong Xiao Qi about his relationship with Xu Ban Xia. Tong Xiao Qi said they were like siblings and had a leader-subordinate relationship. But seeing how hard Tong Xiao Qi was working, Gao Xin Yi felt heartbroken. In a fit of anger, she said that Xu Ban Xia wasn't Tong Xiao Qi's mother, so he didn't have any responsibility towards her. This comment angered Tong Xiao Qi, and he confronted Gao Xin Yi. Furious, Gao Xin Yi snatched a shovel from one of the workers and chased after him.
In order to pressure Xu Ban Xia to repay the loan, Xu You Ren deliberately invited her to dinner. During the meal, he used both soft and hard tactics, hoping that Xu Ban Xia would retrieve the mortgaged property certificate. However, Xu Ban Xia was in deep debt and had no money to repay. Xu You Ren was furious and left without eating, taking the leftovers with him.
Wu Jian She was busy seeking a bank loan when Qiu Bi Zheng approached him. Qiu Bi Zheng's factory was running out of raw materials, and they were on the verge of shutting down. He came to ask Wu Jian She for help. Wu Jian She was also going through tough times, but he agreed to provide Qiu Bi Zheng with one thousand tons of materials, on the condition that he paid in cash.
Qiu Bi Zheng sought Wu Jian She's help precisely because he didn't have money. When Wu Jian She refused to help, Qiu Bi Zheng brought up the incident where they were cheated while buying steel up north, demanding that Wu Jian She fulfill their agreement and compensate for the losses from that time. Tong Xiao Qi had been working hard to earn more money and hadn't slept for two consecutive days, feeling extremely tired while driving.
Gao Xin Yi always accompanied Tong Xiao Qi and had transformed from a delicate woman to a rough-looking woman in the past six months. Tong Xiao Qi noticed that Gao Xin Yi was exhausted, so he asked her to rest well in the passenger seat while he took out some aromatic oil to invigorate himself.
Tong Xiao Qi set off with his convoy, but it was raining and nighttime. Tong Xiao Qi was extremely drowsy, and his eyes kept closing involuntarily. Fortunately, the brothers behind him noticed that his car was veering off course and quickly honked their horns to alert him, preventing an accident. Tong Xiao Qi slapped his face hard, forcing himself to stay alert and continue driving. However, drowsiness struck again, and this time when he heard the honking reminder, he barely reacted in time. Due to oversteering, the car flipped over.
Tong Xiao Qi knew that a car accident was inevitable and quickly protected Gao Xin Yi, who was sleeping beside him, while he himself got injured. Tong Xiao Qi was taken to the hospital, and upon hearing the news, Xu Ban Xia rushed over. Gao Xin Yi had blood all over her face and took out the blood-stained money from her pocket, asking Xu Ban Xia to quickly take it to the storage yard to prevent any delay that could cause trouble.
From Su Guo Dong, Xu Ban Xia learned that although Tong Xiao Qi was injured, fortunately, the glass had not penetrated his windpipe, and after the surgery and proper rest, he would be fine. Xu Ban Xia took the money and went to the storage yard with mixed emotions. Inside the storage yard, Chen Yu Zhou was busy serving tea and water, speaking kindly to the workers. Xu Ban Xia stood at the door, witnessing the scene, her eyes turning red.
Chen Yu Zhou saw Xu Ban Xia and quickly pulled her outside. Xu Ban Xia felt sorry for Tong Xiao Qi and Chen Yu Zhou for all the hardships they endured and the troubles they faced for her, and her eyes welled up with tears. At this moment, unexpectedly, Xu You Ren found his way to the storage yard. His purpose for coming was to have Xu Ban Xia sign on his debt agreement, hoping to secure priority in retrieving the money during the auction at the storage yard.
Xu Ban Xia didn't expect Xu You Ren to stoop so low and, amidst her sadness and distress, refused to sign. In order to pressure Xu Ban Xia, Xu You Ren shouted loudly in the workshop, "Xu Ban Xia is an unfilial daughter, she squandered his pension." Worried that this would cause further trouble, Chen Yu Zhou quickly pulled Xu You Ren out, and Xu Ban Xia, compelled by the situation, had no choice but to sign.
Steve privately instructed the company's legal department to bring Xu Ban Xia to the company and offer a price of 1,400 yuan per ton to immediately purchase all of Xu Ban Xia's scrap steel. Zhao Lei, seeing that Xu Ban Xia was about to sign under such circumstances, rushed into the meeting room at a critical moment and, using his position as the general manager, stood up to the pressure and tore up the contract.
Zhao Lei learned that Xu Ban Xia was being sued by Guo Qi Dong and arranged a meeting with him. Unexpectedly, Guo Qi Dong knew the price the company had offered Xu Ban Xia today, which greatly surprised Xu Ban Xia.
