Episode 31 recap: Xiao Li Ming is in a difficult situation.
Mayor Fan has returned and asked Tang Hao Ran to restrain himself for his sake. It was already against the rules for Mayor Fan to reveal this information to Tang Hao Ran. Tang Hao Ran mentioned this matter to his sister, but he was not willing to back down at all. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit.
Tang Hao Ran's sister believed that her husband would not agree, but Tang Hao Ran insisted that she should not tell him. Seeing that no one agreed to move out, Xiao Li Ming went door to door explaining the contents of the agreement, emphasizing that they were not being forced to leave their hometown, but rather being provided with a new village. The new village was connected to the current village, and they would have a 60-year right of use. If they wanted to return, they could do so at any time.
The people asked Xiao Li Ming if it was possible to sell the right of use directly, to which Xiao Li Ming replied that it was indeed possible. The government would provide them with a sum of money. The government's efforts this time were significant, and if they had any questions, they could come to Xiao Li Ming, who would explain everything to them.
Mayor Fan discussed this matter with Tang Hao Ran, emphasizing that everyone had already agreed to move and that he must compensate the villagers properly. Tang Hao Ran became very angry, thinking that Xiao Li Ming was deliberately opposing him and blocking his path to wealth. When Xiao Li Ming returned and told his mother about the situation, his mother also disagreed with moving out. She felt that there were too many memories of his father there.
Xiao Li Ming's mother knew that Xiao Li Ming was doing this job and was in a difficult position. She asked him for more time to think it over, and eventually agreed. Xiao Li Ming gathered everyone together and asked if they had any more questions. If there were no issues, they could sign the document. Everyone was willing to sign, but Tang Hao Ran arrived with his men, claiming that there were problems and accusing Xiao Li Ming of deceiving everyone.
Xiao Li Ming urged everyone not to believe Tang Hao Ran and assured them that he genuinely had their best interests in mind.
Tang Hao Ran revealed Xiao Li Ming's identity, stating that he was the son of Xiao Xue Song. Everyone knew what kind of person Xiao Xue Song was, and they found it hard to believe that his son would act in their best interests. Furthermore, if they were to relocate, why didn't Xiao Xue Song's wife come to sign the agreement?
After much contemplation, Xiao Li Ming's mother decided to come and agree to the relocation. Director Yang accompanied her, and everyone questioned Xiao Li Ming. When Xiao Li Ming's mother arrived and expressed her willingness to sign, no one believed her, and they brought up past events involving Xiao Xue Song.
When Fang Shu Ran came to take care of the elderly, she coincidentally saw Xiaotian there. The elderly woman happened to be Xiaotian's grandmother, and upon seeing Xiaotian's necklace, which was Xiao Xue Song's police badge, she realized that Xiaotian was the child he had saved all those years ago. Xiaotian mentioned that his grandmother would undergo surgery in a couple of days and pleaded for two more days.
Fang Shu Ran agreed. She found Xiaotian and explained the situation, but Xiaotian said he couldn't go. He believed that his life was exchanged for Xiao Xue Song's, and he had to clear his name. Xiaotian expressed his shame and said he couldn't face everyone, as he considered himself to be trash, a person traded for Xiao Xue Song's life.
Fang Shu Ran's father stepped forward and revealed the truth of the past, but no one believed him and thought he was speaking up for his future son-in-law. Xiaotian rushed over as well to testify, confirming that he was the child saved by Xiao Xue Song. Xiao Li Ming's mother became extremely emotional, realizing that her husband had been wrongly accused for so many years.
