Episode 21 recap: Mrs. Li took out her retirement letter.
Zhang Dagui sighed, reminiscing about the past when Li Ping wholeheartedly wanted to secure a future for their three children. Just as he had earned some money and planned to buy a house to bring the three children to live in the county town, they encountered bandit troubles. Chi Yue grew suspicious and questioned who Li Ping had entrusted with delivering the message at that time. Unfortunately, Zhang Dagui was also unaware. Chi Yue could only keep the doubt in her heart for now. Chi Yue bought things for her family, which made the village women in Xikong Village envy her greatly. Chi Yue took the opportunity to encourage everyone, saying that as long as they worked diligently, they could earn money to improve their lives at home.
The village women knew how difficult Chi Yue's previous life had been, and now they saw her living well and still helping everyone, giving them the opportunity to earn money by going to the wine shop. They were excited and planned to give it a try. Chi Yue returned home with bags of things, allowing her children to enjoy delicious food. Seeing her children happy, she promised that if she earned more money, she would bring them to live in the county town. This reminded Li Zichen of the time when Li Ping had said the same thing.
Ji Hong told Chi Yue that the weapons she had made according to her drawings were almost ready. When the three children saw how well Ji Hong treated Chi Yue, they were particularly happy for her. Li Cui heard news from the county town and learned that Li Yi not only lost the management rights of the wine shop but was also imprisoned. He blamed it all on Chi Yue and informed Li Lao Tai. Upon learning that it was Chi Yue who had snatched the business and caused Li Yi to lose favor, Li Lao Tai instructed Li Cui to bring out that piece of paper and go to the village chief to demand Chi Yue's retirement.
Chi Yue noticed on the retirement letter that Li Ping's fingerprint was unexpectedly black, and immediately asked about the reason.
