Episode 31 recap: Good intentions to help someone backfire.
Grandma Niu was shopping at the supermarket and forgot to pay for one item. The security guard stopped her, pushed her, and she fell and ended up in the hospital. Xiao Chang Qing and the others told Wang Xiu Ju about the incident, but her first reaction was not to be concerned about her mother's injuries, but rather to be embarrassed by the situation. Lying in the hospital bed, Grandma Niu repeatedly emphasized that she did not steal anything.
An old lady was hit by someone and ended up in the hospital. Her daughter assumed it was a young man who hit her, and Xiao Chang Qing tried to mediate, but was prevented by the old lady's daughter. Chen Xin Cheng received a call saying Grandma Niu forgot to pay for an item at the supermarket and was detained by the security guard. The three old guys and Xia Ming Zhou rushed over to deal with it. The supermarket guard insisted that Grandma Niu had stolen something, but she kept explaining that she had just forgotten and was going to go back and pay.
The supermarket guard gave two options - either put the cup back or pay a fine of 1,227 yuan. Grandma Niu quickly put the cup back, and Xia Ming Zhou calmed her down and told her to go home, that they would handle the cup issue, and the supermarket had no right to fine her. As Grandma Niu was leaving, the guard stopped her again and in the scuffle she fell and had to be taken to the hospital.
When Wang Xiu Ju arrived, her first reaction was not concern for her mother's injuries, but rather embarrassment that her mother had committed theft. In the hospital, Wang Xiu Ju scolded Grandma Niu for her "theft" without listening to her explanation. Before leaving to sign paperwork and pay the medical fees, Wang Xiu Ju repeatedly told Xiao Chang Qing and the others not to make a big deal out of this, and that she would handle the medical bills herself without the supermarket needing to cover the costs.
Everyone was saddened that even in old age, this elderly woman was being shunned by her own children. Xia Ming Zhou consulted the legal team at Ming Zhou Group, and they determined the supermarket had undeniable responsibility in the incident with Grandma Niu. So Chen Xin Cheng and Sun Qian Cheng approached the supermarket on her behalf, with Xia Ming Zhou recording video evidence showing Grandma Niu was of sound mind when she gave the retirement home her power of attorney.
After negotiations, the supermarket agreed to cover 50% of the medical expenses, but required Niu Baolan to write an apology letter and post it outside the supermarket for 15 days. Except for Xiao Chang Qing, the other three people went to inform Niu Baolan. Niu Baolan, in order to relieve the pressure on her daughter, agreed to write the apology statement. Later, everyone saw the apology statement, and although it was not signed, the residents of the retirement home all knew it was done by Niu Dama.
When they discussed it privately, Dazhi recorded it with a camera. Xiao Chang Qing wanted to remind him not to record everything, but Dazhi misunderstood his intention. Xiao Chang Qing received a call, learning that the teacher's wife had fallen on the road and was sent to the hospital. Xiao Chang Qing rushed to the hospital, and after understanding the situation, thanked the enthusiastic young man Li Liang who helped the teacher's wife up, and added him on WeChat.
Xu Dama's daughter Lingling rushed to the hospital, and the hospital said Xu Dama needed conservative treatment, which would cost tens of thousands. Lingling blamed Xiao Chang Qing for not taking good care of her mother, and letting her leave the retirement home to clean Xiao Chang Qing's house. Lingling demanded that the retirement home send someone to the hospital to take care of her mother, and Xiao Chang Qing didn't know what to say, as he hadn't left the hospital yet when he received Lingling's call.
According to Lingling, Xu Dama claimed that the young man Li Liang had bumped into her, and Lingling also believed this. She said that if Li Liang hadn't bumped into her, why would he have taken her mother to the hospital and paid the medical expenses. Xiao Chang Qing reluctantly contacted Li Liang, and Lingling threatened to call the police and complain about him on the platform if he didn't come.
Li Liang came, and in front of Xiao Chang Qing, Xu Dama suddenly changed her story. Xiao Chang Qing tried to persuade her to think it through, but was chased out by Lingling. Lingling insisted that Li Liang was the one who had bumped into her, and then called the police. Li Liang, who had done a good deed, was now being extorted.
