Episode 5 recap: Feeling Troubled Lately.
He Xiangnan has been sighing and feeling down lately, mainly because he's short on money. He even mentioned that he feels their business is losing money because they don't know how to manage it properly. Hu Xiaoni also complained that a few days ago, her father-in-law, He Fang, came over and bought seven different fruits, but only one piece of each fruit, which was actually a hint for them to repay a debt of 70,000 yuan. It can be said that He Fang is a very stingy person, but they haven't told anyone about their financial losses yet, so they still have a large sum of money to repay, which is their biggest headache.
When He Xiangnan was taking out the trash, he saw his neighbor, Wang Weizhi, sitting at the doorstep with a suitcase, sighing. It turned out that he was supposed to receive a bonus as the top salesperson this month, and he wanted to surprise his wife. But he discovered that one of his wife's buttons had fallen off, so he went to the mall to find a matching button, which cost only six yuan. However, he also bought a 7,000-yuan belt to reward himself, which made his wife unhappy.
In frustration, Wang Weizhi left his house, but he was actually kicked out. He Xiangnan found out that Wang Weizhi had hidden alcohol downstairs, so the two of them sat together and drank beer to drown their sorrows. Hu Xiaoni went to work, and when Hu Chen learned that He Xiangnan still hadn't found a job, he started complaining again. However, Hu Chen's mother-in-law has been speaking up for He Xiangnan.
The mother-in-law even told them that they don't have to pay for meals. This incident happened to be overheard by Hu Fei, who became even more unhappy with his brother-in-law. He Xiangnan saw Wang Weizhi downstairs again, and Wang Weizhi was also worried about work-related issues. The younger generation has surpassed him, and he feels inferior. In order to improve his performance, he has to socialize more, but his wife is still unhappy with him. He Xiangnan tried to comfort Wang Weizhi.
He Xiangnan met his sister, He Yan, and talked about the money he borrowed from her a while ago. Unexpectedly, their mother had already repaid the money to his sister in advance. Upon learning that his brother-in-law now had money, Hu Fei directly went to him and borrowed 1,500 yuan. Otherwise, he threatened to tell his sister about the 20,000 yuan matter. He Xiangnan felt helpless. He Xiangnan is still thinking about entrepreneurship. His father advises him to give up since it has been nearly twenty years and they haven't achieved any success.
Nowadays, He Xiangnan feels very depressed every day. The only time he can vent is during the evenings when he drinks with Wang Weizhi. They both have too many worries recently. Wang Weizhi comforts He Xiangnan, and surprisingly, he manages to convince himself as well. Soon, He Xiangnan tells everyone that he's giving up on entrepreneurship and intends to find a suitable job at a veterinary clinic.
