Episode 8 recap: Aunt Niu is unwilling to vacate the house.
Upon learning that Tingting was sick, Xiao Changqing hurried to the hospital to see his granddaughter. However, Xiao Jian didn't want him to be involved with his daughter. Xiao Lin told Xiao Changqing that this area is now within a designated school district. They were discussing whether they could transfer Yi Yi's household registration to Xiao Changqing and Grandma's household registration. However, Ma Ling disagreed.
Aunt Niu refused to accept the notice of seizure and threatened to set the house on fire and commit suicide. She was determined not to let the house be sealed. Xiao Changqing sensed that something was wrong. Chen Xincheng's report hadn't been submitted to the group yet, so how did the group find out first? They suspected there was an insider leaking information. Just then, Xiao Yue arrived, and Xiao Changqing felt a pang of anxiety. He quickly lied, saying that it was the era of information, and good news travels far. They didn't think too much and believed Xiao Yue's words.
At that moment, Lawyer Wang came to their door. If the evidence in this case was solid, it would be easy to win the lawsuit. He said that even if it became a public prosecution case, he could still represent the civil part, but the agreement needed to be resigned. Xiao Changqing sensed that Lawyer Wang was about to ask for money. He signaled Sun Qiancheng to play along, and Chen Xincheng joined in too. Lawyer Wang thought they really didn't lack lawyers and immediately wanted to take on the case at the original price.
Xiao Changqing was overjoyed, and just as he was about to shake hands with Lawyer Wang, he unexpectedly asked for the original four thousand yuan back, considering that Lawyer Wang himself had said it was legal aid. Xiao Changqing returned home and heard from his mother that Tingting was sick and currently receiving intravenous therapy at the hospital. Xiao Changqing immediately rushed to the hospital, limping. He learned from his aunt that the previous aunt had taken food out of the refrigerator without heating it and fed it directly to the child, resulting in the child getting gastroenteritis.
Xiao Changqing discussed with Xiao Jian that after Tingting was discharged from the hospital, she would be sent to his place. As a biological grandfather, he believed he would take better care of the child than others. However, Xiao Jian refused and said it was his family matter, asking Xiao Changqing not to interfere. This made Xiao Changqing very disheartened.
Xiao Lin told Xiao Changqing that this area now fell within a designated school district. They were discussing whether they could transfer Yi Yi's household registration to Xiao Changqing and Grandma's household registration. Xiao Changqing naturally agreed, but Ma Ling disagreed.
Xiao Changqing suggested transferring the house registration to Xiao Lin and his spouse, which would also solve the problem with the child's household registration. The next day, they put their plan into action and transferred the house ownership. Xiao Changqing then moved with his elderly mother to the nursing home. The old lady had a gloomy face and appeared unhappy.
Sun Qiancheng came over with something in his hand and knocked on the door. With a few words, he made the old lady smile happily. Soon after, Chen Xincheng and Xiao Yue arrived as well, creating a lively atmosphere. The old lady was thrilled. With this, the nursing home was off to a good start. Sun Qiancheng had high expectations for the place, believing that once it was established, it would become another center of the city.
Shortly after, Xiang Huaicai and Du Wei's fraud case came to a verdict. Both of them pleaded guilty and accepted their punishment without appealing. In theory, this was something to be happy about, but Aunt Niu still wore a troubled expression. She didn't care about the outcome of the verdict; she only wanted her house back. However, Xiang Huaicai had spent all the ill-gotten money and had no means to repay her. Xiao Changqing quickly stopped Lawyer Wang, but even he said that the case had ended with the defendants not appealing.
The credit company filed a lawsuit, and the court was going to seal the house. Aunt Niu refused to vacate the house, so Xiao Changqing signed on her behalf, and she turned the responsibility back to him. Even the good-tempered Xiao Changqing became angry and bluntly stated that the court was suing Wang Xiuju. As her children, they could have chosen not to get involved, but instead, they pushed their own mother to the front. A daughter should never act this way, and Xiao Changqing was done with it.
Chen Xincheng went with the two others to persuade Aunt Niu, but unexpectedly, she became even more radical. She made several Molotov cocktails using the oil provided by the nursing home and threatened to ignite them if anyone dared to seal the house. This greatly frightened the three of them. Chen Xincheng's persuasion was in vain, and Xiao Changqing mentioned that the devaluation of the house would only worsen the situation.
Seeing that Aunt Niu was serious about setting the house on fire, the three of them rushed out of the door. Afterwards, Xiao Changqing still couldn't rest easy, so the three of them went to the company to find Wang Xiuju. It was only when Wang Xiuju cared about her reputation that Chen Xincheng purposely spoke loudly, pressuring her to go home and persuade her mother to vacate the house.
Aunt Niu was reluctant to sell the house, but she was willing to consider her daughter's words. However, the problem was that if the house was sold, she didn't know where she would live. Wang Xiuju was also helpless, considering she herself was still renting a place. However, after discussing with Xiao Changqing and the others, they agreed that after selling the house, Aunt Niu could move to the nursing home.
