Episode 22 recap: Su Xin gained her mother-in-law's understanding through sincerity.
Su Xin's eight-year-old daughter injured her leg, and her mother-in-law blamed Su Xin for not fulfilling her duties as a mother and not taking good care of the child. In anger, her mother-in-law returned to their hometown. With no one to take care of Su Xin's daughter, Su Xin was anxious to return to her country. However, African women have a strong ability to give birth, and if Su Xin leaves, it will put a lot of pressure on Director Kango. Jiang Da Qiao decided that Su Xin should still return to her country, and he would explain the situation to Director Kango.
Wu Mei learned that Ma Naimu, who works in the obstetrics department, has made rapid progress recently, so she reported this to Jiang Da Qiao. After Su Xin leaves, Wu Mei and her husband Chang Lai will prioritize assisting Ma Naimu. As a couple, Wu Mei and Chang Lai are willing to overcome the difficulties they face in Africa, but they feel guilty for leaving their family behind. Jiang Da Qiao feels the same way. He glanced at Jiang Yao's photo on the table and missed her dearly.
Su Xin hasn't returned to her country yet. These days, her daughter Guoguo is being taken care of by her husband, who is a criminal investigator. The couple tries their best to call Su Xin's mother-in-law, but she refuses to answer the phone while still angry. Su Xin feels guilty for her thoughtless words at that time and blames herself for not being by her daughter's side when she needed her the most. Wu Mei advises Su Xin to forgive herself since she is not only a doctor providing aid in Africa but also a daughter and a mother. It's difficult to fully attend to all these different roles.
Shi Zhu Zi learned from Haina that Sani was worried that Shi Zhu Zi was trying to use the orphanage for personal gain, so he went to explain to Sani. However, as someone knowledgeable about China, Sani is willing to befriend Shi Zhu Zi but refuses to sign any agreement. It's the first time Shi Zhu Zi encounters a problem she can't solve, so she has no choice but to leave for now.
Zhao Yi Cong notices a small card with Sun Shuang's name on Sani's desk. During a massage session, Sun Shuang pays special attention to Sani and discreetly places a letter from Shi Zhu Zi on the desk after massaging Sani's muscles. Sani, trusting Sun Shuang, and influenced by Shi Zhu Zi's letter, agrees to establish the orphanage. Shi Zhu Zi promises to withdraw from the board of directors and let Haina take full responsibility. Sani is finally moved and agrees.
Su Xin has been unable to win over her mother-in-law. Wu Mei understands the situation and realizes that Su Xin's mother-in-law is similar to her own. She encourages Su Xin to have her husband go home directly to talk to her mother-in-law. Then, Wu Mei will explain on speakerphone. Unexpectedly, when her husband returns home, her mother-in-law drives him away. Fortunately, he persists in persuading her, allowing Su Xin to express her heartfelt thoughts to her mother-in-law. She not only apologizes for her thoughtless words at that time but also expresses gratitude to her mother-in-law for taking care of Guoguo. She earnestly asks her mother-in-law to help for another year or so and promises to take over the family when her aid work in Africa is finished, allowing her mother-in-law to enjoy a comfortable life.
Su Xin's sincerity touches her mother-in-law. Although the phone call is abruptly ended, her mother-in-law's eyes are already filled with tears.
Liu Xiaoxian's senior fellow student, Li Mo, at Shuangqing Media University, has always admired Liu Xiaoxian. He wants to invite Liu Xiaoxian to work in Hong Kong and continue her dream of hosting social programs.
When Liu Xiaoxian learned that Li Mo has been a loyal fan of her program, watching every episode from the first to the last, she felt a wave in her heart. Li Mo has always had feelings for Liu Xiaoxian, even though she has been married for a long time. Knowing that Liu Xiaoxian's husband, Ma Jia, is in Africa for aid work and won't be back for over a year, she realizes that being a doctor is actually busier than being a media person.
Marion particularly likes the painting that Ma Jia gave her, which is already hanging in her room. When she learns that Ma Jia is still painting, she is curious about what he is painting. At this time, Kango's cousin, Halif, comes to seek medical help. Ma Jia examines him and diagnoses him with bronchitis, prescribing some medication for Halif. This relieves Halif, who was worried that Ma Jia would give him a bunch of examination orders, and sincerely praises Ma Jia as a good doctor.
Marion believes that a man who can bring about change is the sexiest. Ma Jia tells Marion that the term "sexy" cannot be used like that in Chinese. Today, Jiang Daqiao brings good news to Su Xin. The Health and Family Planning Commission has approved Su Xin's early return to her home country for a visit. Su Xin immediately calls her daughter Guoguo to tell her the good news. Her mother-in-law overhears and tells Su Xin not to come back, assuring her that she will take care of the family and reminding Su Xin to take care of herself. After all, not only does Su Xin's work need her, but her family also needs her. Su Xin is deeply moved by her mother-in-law's words and tears up on the spot.
Li Mo gives Liu Xiaoxian a pen as a New Year's gift. Liu Xiaoxian's mother happens to see this scene from the window and suspects that something is going on with Liu Xiaoxian. When Liu Xiaoxian returns, her mother asks her why Ma Jia hasn't been in contact with her much this week. Liu Xiaoxian learns that Ma Jia's father isn't feeling well and has been busy arranging medical examinations and accommodations for him. She can't help but sigh that both Ma Jia and herself are busy with their own matters, leaving Liu Xiaoxian, the daughter-in-law, extremely busy.
