Episode 5 recap: It is difficult to recruit people for the nursing home.
Xiao Changqing's sister, Xiao Changli, came uninvited and cried, saying that she had just received 200,000 yuan from Xiao Changqing but encountered a financial scammer who cheated her out of the money. The old lady agreed with the first half of her statement, but surprisingly, in the second half, she suggested that Xiao Changqing give another 200,000 yuan to Xiao Changli.
Xiao Changqing immediately corrected her and emphasized that the 200,000 yuan was borrowed from Xiao Jian, and he would not help Xiao Changli with her house purchase. The old lady resorted to her usual tactics and even said she would pack up and go live with Xiao Changli. However, this time, Xiao Changqing did not take the bait and took the initiative to pack things up for the old lady.
Of course, the old lady did not leave in the end, but after Xiao Changli left, she still lamented the hardships faced by her daughter, while Xiao Changqing poured out his grievances. Over the years, it had not been easy for him. The money given to him by Xiao Jian and Ma Ling was originally intended for them to buy a house, but Xiao Changqing had already given it all to his grandma and various aunts and uncles, so whenever Ma Ling mentioned buying a house, he didn't dare to respond.
The old lady listened and Xiao Changqing took the opportunity to bring up the idea of moving to a nursing home with her, leaving the current house to Xiao Jian and his spouse. The old lady was initially reluctant, but after Xiao Changqing's persuasion, she finally agreed. Soon, Xiao Changqing called his two sons and Ma Ling to discuss the matter. However, Xiao Lin and his spouse not only refused to move to a nursing home, but Ma Ling also insisted on buying a house.
This put Xiao Changqing in a dilemma. He explained that the 200,000 yuan he gave to Xiao Changli was borrowed from Xiao Jian. As soon as Ma Ling heard this, she thought he didn't want to give them money to buy a house and immediately declared that she didn't want the current house. Otherwise, they would be known for kicking the elderly out. Xiao Changqing was troubled by this and vented his frustration to Sun Qiancheng at the nursing home.
Upon hearing from Xiao Yue, Sun Qiancheng came up with a plan to worsen the relationship between Chen Xincheng and his son, Chen Dazhi, in order to persuade Chen Xincheng to move to the nursing home. This would make the group wary and reluctant to take back the land easily.
As for the specific plan, it involved intensifying the conflict between Chen Xincheng and his son, making Chen Xincheng willingly move out.
Chen Xincheng, who was forced into retirement, was furious all day long, venting his anger at home and constantly arguing with Zhang Guirong. Xiao Changqing and Sun Qiancheng came to visit, with one responsible for taking Chen Xincheng out to relax and the other responsible for giving Zhang Guirong some advice. However, when Xiao Changqing heard that Chen Xincheng was keeping the stock incentive money for Dazhi, his sympathy arose, and he changed his stance, saying that he stood on Chen Xincheng's side and that Chen Xincheng didn't need to worry about the nursing home.
Following Sun Qiancheng's advice, Zhang Guirong changed her previous attitude of caring for her son, which made Chen Xincheng quite uncomfortable. He went to the company himself to check on his son's work. However, when the old man saw Dazhi playing the guitar, he thought his son was not focused on his work and scolded him, resulting in a heated argument between father and son.
Zhang Guirong's arrival put an end to the father-son dispute. She was also worried about her son's company losing money and took the initiative to propose cooking and cleaning for the company in the future. Sun Qiancheng and Xiao Changqing started calling their friends, inviting them to the nursing home, but one by one, they found it too far and declined.
After finishing her work at Dazhi's company, Zhang Guirong returned to cook for Chen Xincheng, who was far away from the kitchen. She suggested that Chen Xincheng move to the nursing home and made it clear that it was not up for discussion. Upon learning that the nursing home was short of staff, Chen Xincheng came up with a solution: he asked Sun Qiancheng to spend money to buy oil and rice and give them to those who entered the nursing home for free.
The method worked, but everyone was unwilling to stay for long. They took the oil, rice, and salt and left immediately. Sun Qiancheng felt very distressed and quickly "sent" everyone away.
