Episode 33 recap: Li Chang Sheng's condition worsens.
Meng's father mentioned that as people grow older, their thoughts about birthdays become simpler. When Li Chang Sheng visited Meng's father, he expressed that reaching this age in his lifetime is truly a blessing. Li Chang Sheng straightforwardly stated that contentment leads to longevity. Meng's father acknowledged that his complexion wasn't looking too good. Li Chang Sheng attributed it to exhaustion. Meng's father admitted that he constantly worried about everyone else and neglected himself. He and Guifen supported each other all along, so it's not unreasonable to consider their own matters at this time. Li Chang Sheng agreed, saying he understood.
At this moment, Ma Chong Feng arrived with villagers at Meng's house to celebrate Meng's father's birthday. He claimed to have brought nothing, but Dawei's wife explained that they all prepared for this occasion to offer their blessings. Meng Xiao Ze was waiting on the way specifically for the man trying to extort money. He wanted to show them what a formidable presence he could be.
During Meng's father's birthday banquet, Li Chang Sheng was the first to offer his blessings, bringing immense joy to the old man and setting a positive example for others in the village. The lively scene of everyone celebrating Meng's father's birthday was truly filled with a festive atmosphere. After learning that Xiaozhe was beaten by someone, Meng's father hurried to the police station. He was delighted to know that they wanted to thank Yang for his efforts in maintaining law and order, but he also felt heartache for Xiaozhe's injuries.
Meng Xiao Ze arrived at the clinic, and Yanzi remarked that he always ended up getting hurt and she had to tend to his wounds. When Yanzi realized that he was taking out his frustrations on her, she felt a bit happy. She reminisced about when they were together in their childhood, and Xiaozhe always stood up for her. Xiaozhe looked at Yanzi, who cared for him, and expressed his desire to take care of her for the rest of his life. Yanzi didn't respond directly, but she was touched when she saw that he had brought her a cake.
Guifen supported Li Chang Sheng back home and expressed her willingness to stay up all night for him. However, Li Chang Sheng honestly admitted that he didn't want others to see him in his current state. He advised her to go to the clinic and request leave on his behalf. Guifen approached Bai Shi Zhou and explained the situation but hesitated to disclose the severity of Li Chang Sheng's illness. Considering Li Chang Sheng's condition, she believed it was best to keep it a secret for now. Bai Shi Zhou agreed that Li Chang Sheng's health was the top priority at the moment. Guifen openly stated that if he were to go now, Li Chang Sheng would definitely refuse. Bai Shi Zhou had to think of another solution.
Mr. Wang approached Ma Chong Feng and expressed his desire to discuss cooperation. Ma Chong Feng was angry and stated that he didn't need to collaborate with them. Mr. Wang emphasized that this cooperation would be based on the interests of Xiancao Village. Ma Chong Feng explained that he couldn't make decisions on his own and needed to consult with the villagers. In reality, he had considered the fact that Mr. Liu's business was recommended by Mr. Wang.
Ma Chong Feng and Accountant Wu argued for a while. When Ma Chong Feng wanted to seek Wang Ya Nan's opinion, she claimed not to know. As soon as Accountant Wu left, Ma Chong Feng immediately called out. Yanzi went to the greenhouse to find Xiaozhe. By this time, they had started dating. Yanzi noted that he had changed a lot and was no longer an irresponsible person. She honestly expressed that he was getting closer to the person she had always hoped he would become.
Mr. Wang visited Xiancao Village for inspection, and Wang Ya Nan received him. Although he wanted to have a conversation with Wang Ya Nan, she ignored him. In the meeting room, Wang Ya Nan continued to disregard him. When Mr. Wang inquired about Wang Ya Nan's place of residence, Ma Chong Feng stated that they all lived in the village committee. Realizing that his question was a bit intrusive, he immediately changed the subject.
Accountant Wu led everyone to the village committee to cause trouble. Ma Chong Feng assured them that they would conduct a thorough inspection and not let anyone suffer losses. They didn't trust Mr. Wang, but an explanation had to be provided to everyone. Mr. Wang explained that in the past, he also wanted to make a big impact, but he faced difficulties because his business partner took away all the money. It was a lack of funds that caused everyone to suffer losses. However, things were completely different now. He had enough funds to support over twenty villages, so there would be no risks this time. He hoped that everyone would give him a chance.
The villagers, still bearing the previous losses, remained skeptical and didn't fully trust him.
