Episode 7 recap: Lian Man Er finds out the truth.
Lian Xiu Er had been worried for several days and told her mother about the matter. Lian Man Er's grandmother was extremely annoyed and knew that Lian Hua Er was behind it all. This way, even if something really happened, Lian Hua Er couldn't be blamed. Lian Xiu Er was very uneasy and wanted to see Lian Man Er's mother. Coincidentally, Lian Hua Er saw her.
Lian Hua Er assured Lian Xiu Er that no one would know it was her doing. The rope she used belonged to Lian Ye Er, so even if someone found out, they would think it was Lian Ye Er's doing. Lian Xiu Er admitted that she didn't want to do it, and Lian Hua Er pretended to be very aggrieved, claiming that she was just helping Lian Xiu Er teach Lian Man Er a lesson. Lian Hua Er made it seem like it was all her idea and that she felt responsible for the consequences.
Lian Hua Er said many kind words and even asked Lian Xiu Er to pick a pendant from her room. Lian Xiu Er stopped caring about these details. Lian Man Er used the juice of the phoenix flower and imprinted two shoe prints on Lian Xiu Er's face while she was asleep.
When Lian Xiu Er woke up, she was very excited and believed that it was the vengeful spirit of the unborn child coming back. Lian Man Er's grandmother reassured Lian Xiu Er and told her not to worry, as it was definitely not the case. Lian Man Er instructed Lian Ye Er to act as if she had seen a ghost, and Xiao Qi also chimed in, saying that she had just seen the unborn child, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, which frightened Lian Xiu Er even more.
Lian Man Er's grandmother brought a master to exorcise the ghost from Lian Xiu Er. In reality, Shen Nuo arranged for this to happen, claiming that it was the lingering spirit of the unborn child and that all it needed was the forgiveness of the mother. The master also mentioned that two people were involved. Although Lian Xiu Er was terrified, she didn't reveal Lian Hua Er.
Shen Nuo stated that the seeds of distrust had been planted and all that was needed was to add fuel to the fire. Lian Xiu Er would definitely expose Lian Hua Er. Lian Man Er believed that Shen Nuo was the most suitable person to handle this situation. Shen Nuo came to find Lian Xiu Er and mentioned Lian Xiu Er's earrings, claiming that they looked like cheap items from a street stall and advised her not to wear them outside where people would laugh at her.
Lian Xiu Er believed it and went to rummage through Lian Hua Er's room. She found a jewelry box she had never seen before, filled with beautiful jewelry, including a hairpin that Lian Hua Er claimed was lost but was secretly hidden there. Lian Xiu Er revealed the truth to everyone, and her aunt slapped Lian Hua Er a few times, bringing her over to acknowledge her mistake.
Her aunt explained that Lian Hua Er was about to marry into the Song family and hoped that this matter wouldn't spread, as it would jeopardize Lian Hua Er's marriage and her uncle's official position. Her grandfather declared that the matter should be dropped, and nobody was allowed to speak of it. Lian Man Er's father didn't object either, which made Lian Man Er very angry.
At night, when Lian Hua Er went out, Lian Man Er waited and beat her up with a sack. Lian Man Er then scrambled eggs and killed a chicken to nourish her mother's health, which infuriated Lian Man Er's grandmother.
Lian Man Er's mother suggested splitting the family to protect Lian Man Er and Xiao Qi, but her father refused to defy his parents and made an excuse to leave. Lian Man Er, accompanied by Shen Nuo and Xiao Qi, went to the field to dig peanuts. After gathering the peanuts, there were still some leftovers in the field, so they picked those.
Lian Man Er went to Wang You Heng's house and made garlic-flavored peanuts, intending to sell them to Fuchun Restaurant. Fuchun Restaurant was the largest restaurant in town, and Lian Man Er said that if they were willing to buy, she wouldn't worry about selling her peanuts. The owner's mother of Fuchun Restaurant had passed away, so Lian Man Er and the others went to their house, where Shen Nuo saw Shi San mourning.
Shi San had already gathered information about their family inside and out.
