Episode 1 recap: Children Return Home
On an ordinary night, Father He Fang, a retired worker, and his daughter, younger sister He Yan, emerged from their rooms. As their son is returning the day after tomorrow, Father He asked him to book a hotel However, He Yan felt that Father He just wanted to spend her money Father He had no choice but to ask his in-law Hu Chen to book the hotel Father He can be described as extremely frugal, to the point that he even intentionally made brief calls to save on phone fees, immediately hanging up without waiting for the other party to answer, forcing them to call back
Father He initially wanted Hu Chen to book the hotel for the children, but Hu Chen knew his tricks and hung up the phone directly. Father He called back, but Hu Chen, who had seen it all, understood Father He's intentions and said she would help him book the hotel. Now Father He had nothing to say. Their granddaughter also complained that Grandpa was too stingy and that this time he should spend money. Hu Chen told the granddaughter not to interfere in adult matters, but the granddaughter's words made a lot of sense.
Sometimes Hu Chen didn't understand why his wife liked his son-in-law He Xiangnan, but on second thought, his son-in-law was actually quite good to them. Hu Chen still remembered the first time his son-in-law visited. At first, he thought his son-in-law was studying medicine and would have a promising future, but he never expected that his son-in-law was studying veterinary medicine.
He Xiangnan and his wife Hu Xiaoni went to start a business elsewhere this time, full of ambition. However, reality hit them hard right after they left. They not only failed in their business venture but also ended up owing a debt of 200,000 yuan. With no way out, they could only choose to return to their hometown. Upon their return, both of them received calls from creditors demanding repayment. He Xiangnan initially wanted to pretend the signal was bad and bluff his way through, but the other party paid no attention to him. After all, they had signed a contract, and since He Xiangnan refused to repay the money, they could only meet in court.
In order to gather this sum of money, He Xiangnan plans to ask his parents to invest in their project during a family dinner, pretending it's an investment opportunity when he actually needs money. After the meal, He Xiangnan gets drunk, but even in this situation, Hu Xiaoni doesn't forget to remind him about asking his father for investment. However, before she can say much, He Xiangnan falls asleep directly.
When He Xiangnan wakes up, he realizes that they not only didn't borrow any money, but his wife even lent 50,000 yuan to her younger sister. At that moment, Hu Xiaoni's mother knocks on the door. He Xiangnan plans to ask his mother-in-law for some money, but he didn't expect that his mother-in-law's money was already in a fixed deposit, and she even wants to borrow money from him. Hu Xiaoni also comes out of the room. Her mother wants to borrow 100,000 yuan from them. Initially, Hu Xiaoni planned to tell the truth, but He Xiangnan, concerned about his pride, reluctantly agrees to lend the money.
Now they have no choice but to ask Hu Xiaoni's younger brother, Hu Fei, for money. However, Hu Fei doesn't have a single penny and claims that he would help them if he had the money, and then he writes an IOU. He Xiangnan and his wife feel that they can no longer stay in their current situation, so they plan to quietly leave at night. However, suddenly their father and brother discover their plan, and they have no choice but to tell everyone about the situation.
In order to prevent them from falling into debt, the family members each contribute their own savings, even the son and daughter give their New Year's money, and the younger brother-in-law, Hu Fei, who truly has no money, can only write an IOU.
